i remember when it use to be you can not charge a flying model while flying only in hover mode

UPDATE: 6/28/24 - Objective CTRL just cancelled their Kickstarter citing personal reasons, so these products are no longer available. Following up with them for more information at the moment.

Just played them with my Kroot. Alpha Strike them so hard with 100 hits (translated to 30 wounds) . Glad I did 😂 😂 😂 Kroot 10in scout and 10in move can be devastating .

Then they are playing nids all wrong. Blitzkrieg tactics only work with korn. Nids adapt. Be a nid and not a agent of chaos ppl.

Games Workshop: We have a rule where it REALLY matters if a part of a model is taller or shorter than 5". Also Games Workshop: Let's make that part 4.99" tall as designed with a tolerance of + or- 0.1". This won't cause any problems!

Ay yo Tzeentch! Gimme some magic!

a lifetime ban because someone maybe yourself have pressed on a wonky model making it slightly lower. sounds like a bad community and bad rules.

New movement and pivot rules are far better for actual gameplay flow. Nobody that actually plays 40k wants to waste hours of their life trying to edge out the last quarter inch of movement, or watch their opponent go through that pain while trying to also police it for "fairness".

You used the wrong datasheet for saint celestine

I don't know anything about 40k, but wouldn't a standardized list of vehicle heights fix this? Like... All Storm Ravens have wings that are 4.8" from the ground.

Only scary thing about this unit is how over costed they are right now. This combo is cute, but the points investment for the highly variable output is horrible. They are costed like space marines but worse in all ways. Space marines have very similar combos that are much more points efficient but don't see any play. Death Company is only exception. I strongly doubt we will see any real competitive lists running anything other than 5 model units for scoring.

Death Company in Firestorm could basically do this and every member of the of the unit can get hand flamers but you rarely saw it. Yeh you need 2cp, but death company move 12", re-roll charges, hit way harder in melee and are 2ws with a 6+ FNP. I mean generally the answer to 'scariest jump infantry in the game' is always death company, any other answer is wrong. 10 inferno pistols, re-rolling hits, 12" move, -1 damage with Lemartes, re-roll hits, S10 pfs they just smash. Also all the mortal wound protections will dent these pretty hard, like watchers in the dark for example will basically halve the DV output, so will the Custodes strat. , as will any good overwatch, a redeemer on overwatch is going to destroy them, so is a Baal predator. That is 3D6+6 shots, all of which will wound on 3s, and they will save on either 4s or 5s, with each fail killing a sister.

But you’d assume that a model that has wings would be able to fold them and still make it through its wings are not stuck out like that

just played vs them yesterday with my salamanders army and i should say they were TERRIFYING. They simply landed turn 2 and blasted my redemptor dreadnought with a total of 10MW + too many gunshots that finally destroyed my beloved coffin. They are also hard to catch and since they have so many flamers the overwatch threat is significant if you don't get something solid to assault them.

Terrible unit, hard countered by Tigurius xD

Correction: you cannot use light of the emperor to ignore AP reduction. Note that the wording has changed from the index version of light of the emperor. It now lets you ignore profile characteristics, BS/WS for the weapons and any tests/rolls made for it (excluding saving throws). This means that you can ignore -1 to hit, OC reduction from battleshock and more, but you can't ignore weapon profile modifiers, only for the unit itself. No more countering AoC with this strat unfortunately

I have no idea how that game works but if you have a game where the outcome is based on measuring stuff, it sounds stupid that everyone is not playing with the exact same models. How can a game where you make the models and seems you make up the rules as you go as well since, if you just add something on the model, it somehow changes the rules. Good to know that I should never ever have anything to do with Warhammer.

Can someone please site the ability to use combat squads. This isnt a thing as far as i can tell?

Honestly my only problem is that the dev wounds strat is 1 cp vs 2 for SM.

ive been looking for a mod on the workshop for the 10th edition deathleaper model. it has a fairly bigger base than the old leaper.... help lol

Can you shoot Celestine's flamer and the hand flamer at the same time? Thought those are pistols

While an amusing combo, I suspect Seraphim will mostly be taken Leaderless in a unit of 5, doing what they've always done, while the Jump Canoness goes with Zephyrim.

Why can’t GW just make a game like the actual game played in real life with dice and everything. No more no less

I found a good counter to these ladies for my Ultramarines: it turns out Devastating Wounds are now Mortal Wounds and if you have Chief Librarian Tigurius leading a unit he gives them a save vs. Mortal Wounds! Check out his dataslate entry to learn this one neat trick! ;)

Absolutely stoked on the Bug changes.

I guess because irl back then mechanicus wasn't a fleshed out thing in models yet, I like how the game reflects the models of the time so nicely, like the old titan and nurgle bloatdrone

The Firestorm (Salamanders) detachment had this exact combo, with full wound rerrolls already built into the unit, and it was something repeatable (you could duplicate the combo with just an agressor squad and a captain), and it's been something that hasn't really taken off anywhere. Salamanders haven't exactly been taking tournaments by storm. Why would it be any different in this case? In your maths, you take for granted a lot of buffs and fragile conditions, and even then the average MW output is just OK for such a cumbersome combo, and the variance of it is very high, it's not consistent at all.

I played my first game of 10.5 last night and can confirm. This unit is terrifying. They put 10mw on my Angron. Very scary deep strike bomb.

Nice video, thanks. What I find scary is the cost per point--woof.

Every time I have to face them I thank GW for giving me the glorious machine that is the hellhound

Lemartes and his Death Company boys would like to disagree

Add a comment...

In a game system with reductive AP values, I'm having a hard time believing something with S3 T3 is a serious threat lol Interesting video!

My poor necrons noooooo.

I don't like it

Tyranofex getting the damage buff is a big deal..

So Tigerius protects against mortal wounds but not devastating wounds? Or can you confirm he treats devastating as mortals…

Found this video really helpful with the demonstrations on TTS Thank-you :)

That was a really long winded way of saying, 'use flamers ya gits!'

I'll be ignoring the movement changes in all casual games.

I contracted autism by watching this.

I'm sorry trevy... Time out.... Your solution to dealing with a land raider on the deck fucking shit up is to sacrifice the best skimerunner in the game to maybe get to deal with it? No thank you sir! I'll keep her on the edge of the board And just play hump derp Ring around the Rosie

I might be weird but the beast of nurgle on darktide is adorable to me especially when it comes out sees you and tilts its head like an inquisitive dog before crawling towards you like an enthusiastic infant

I fell out of love with 40k this edition (firm believer that 8th was the best overall) but like to keep somewhat upto date. But dear lord. This last 2 weeks has reminded me why I stopped doing tournements a longtime ago

Tyranid's Invasion Fleet Perfectly Adapted does not allow you to reroll an Attack Roll. It allows you to reroll 1 dice of any other roll though.

AdMech, the only army to be happy about points increases.

Man tbh I think if you play special snowflake Marine you get your 3 or so detatchments and thats it no basic stuff for you. Let the Gladius-Ironstorm etc be for basic SM only.

Judge should be banned from all tournaments. This is reaching far beyond for his mistakes. 1) Immediately should have had the player remove hand / not touching the model during the measurement. Plain and simple to begin with and anyone who is judging a final should know this. 2) It is up to the Judges to know the relevant rulings and should not rely on the players as unless given ruling exactly and not paraphrasing can change perspective of how it was ruled. 3) A fraction of an inch is laughable to declare intentional altering without further evidence. It is upon GW to model it so rules can be easily applied, Why model it so it's 4 7/8" tall when 5" is the cut off? Further more there should be spec sheets that list this info as to not rely upon the model that is not factory built. 4) The fact that his conclusion comes from another model that was built is assuming the other model is correct. Once again looking elsewhere besides officially documented information. 5) Does not know how to take proper photographs to properly compare. The left photo was taken with a lower head on measurement which would give a more accurate reading, the right photo besides being pushed further back for some reason is taken at a higher angle which would make the model look higher. (If you have a measuring glass that has marking on the outside of the glass fill it to a line than look at it from different height angles to see how it looks compared to the line to see what I'm talking about.) I see no evidence that this was done intentionally, to later go back and alter the outcome due to gross incompetence is disgraceful. The record should have stood let alone any sort of ban given. I'm not gonna say that Kit is completely innocent, I don't know them or what they are like let alone being able to read their mind. I can only say nothing shown is strong enough indicator that they intentionally tried to cheat. From everything I see it appears the Judge is intentionally attacking Kit for some reason. Even the photo's provided are manipulated to try and give himself credit.

The photo evidence is bunk, using a forced perspective. GW has the models and knows exactly how high things are, in the real world they can be off by +-%. GW even have an item that does the measurements called a quick stick.

The best part of all of this is that people still think this game is competitive. Oh no! a "red card!" ffs, GW has never been able to write rules, and there are many examples of games that avoid this issue entirely. It is intentional. GW writes rules to sell models, not to balance games.
