Those comments mean so much to players in the spot light. Appreciate it every time I hear it from other players.

Great video And the Troy thing was called a phalanx

[@jeremiegartner464]

Congratulations. Legit skills in how you play. I'm laughing they had to let you on stream with 3d prints. That's what they get, having to pay full price for your list would be insane. I'm afraid of an AC/DC point raise is incoming because of how well your doing.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@jeremiegartner464 we shall see soon!

[@dainepalinkas5787]

Awesome player, Awesome channel, full dirtbag love. AMAZING achievement! HOWEVER 😂 36 wounds on 21 models with 5+Invul with 6+fnp with advance and charge, with 6d6+12 Str5AP1DMG2 melee attacks from just 6 of its models, with once per game +1 to hit&wound AND dark pacts AND rerolling failed dark pacts AND infantry movement through terrain AND blood surge move AND has a huge table footprint BEFORE enhancements or strategems is absolutely insane let alone for 245pts. This army's only main predator is a mirror match. I'll hear arguments for tough matchups but the other 1265 points you still get to currently spend is adequate to support those issues. This unit has been an issue since 10th launched and needs to be addressed.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@dainepalinkas5787 fingers crossed lol

I’m fine with them nerfing it if they buff other csm units and drop some points.

Hey man, it's Dorfner! Oh man the clock. What's even weirder is AoS for Nova, had clock rules built in. It was lovely meeting you again, although I prefer eating fried chicken in AC haha. Congrats again!

[@hardrada8407]

Well done. Precodex i built a load of cultist stuff but struggled to get it all to work. Will have to revisit. The clock will I hope get more acceptance in all competitive settings. Makes it fair and unambiguous.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@hardrada8407 clock is the issue

[@GrimDan1789]

every tournament game should be clocked. If it's the norm, then there are no hard feelings.

[@ryanerwin1544]

Hey man, its VoidKitten. Awesome job. Love the tactical flexibility of your list. Keep crushing it.

[@ghost9pm407]

Well done! You mentioned that you have a hard time getting through the Deathwing Knights. Do you run into the same problem with Bullgryn or do you find them easier to clear? I'm prepping my Guard for copycat lists of yours lol

[@40kDirtbags]

@@ghost9pm407 anything that has -1dm and 2+ saves is good

[@willlondon4964]

I take my hat off to you sir on your victory. I am surprised they do not allow clock. In the UK as far as I know it's pretty much standard practice at most events. Or at least the events I know of.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@willlondon4964 it should be here too but this event was specifically GW which they don't like clocks

[@goforitpainting]

Very cool battle report.

[@jeremiegartner464]

Congratulations man. I think you did the right thing with the nids. To many take backs and no clock after you asked him, then him wanting a draw while loosing with 3 to go. Sure at an rt. But not a major of 100s. Every point counts.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@jeremiegartner464 agreed, thanks

[@Jebzisere]

Hi Again, Could you clarify what units you said were always in reserves/strategic reserves as I thought I heard you say the AC units e.g. 2 of them, but you scout with one of them and attack the avatar with the other one of them so how are they in reserves and able to do this turn one when you went first? I really hate being a newbee at times, I feel so dumb. Thanks though for your help.

[@Jebzisere]

First off, congratulations, amazing achievement, well deserved. I do have one question though. I am just learning 40k so if this is a really easy answer I apologise for wasting your time. On your yellow unit/winged AC/DC unit, the one with the Warped Foresight enhancement on the Cult Demagogue you say you scout this unit 6". How can this be. I believed that every member of a unit needed to be able to scout to do this. The AC get scout 6", as does the Cult Demagogue because of the enhancement, however, the remaining four members of the Dark Commune do not have the scout ability so how can the whole unit scout move? If I have totally missed something then please accept my apology. Even so if I have got it totally wrong could you explain the rules to me so I can learn from my mistake. Thank you. and congrats again.

[@Jebzisere]

Hi Guyz, I re-read the enhancement and I can see it says all members of the unit get Scout 6" rule. So sorry for missing that initially. I read the rule for the Warped Foresight enhancement in New Recruit initially and that doesn't give a full explanation.

[@40kDirtbags]

@@Jebzisere they made mistake when they wrote the rule

[@greggonzalez661]

Congratulations Derek! Seriously, after ACO the homies knew you had cooked something up. After LSO, they had to know you would be a contender. Now, after back t9 back majors, they should be embarrassed that no one has solved the problems the cultists present. Perhaps it cannot be stopped???
