Auspex Tactics is not a single person. His mother gave birth to seven identical twins who each are assigned to producing content for one day of the week.
Osomatsu-san?
Dis soundz right Orky.
I favour the theory of one original one who then provided a geneseed line for the rest…
With the amount of content he had already published, I think he has trained an AI to speak with his voice and there is a team writting the scripts
@@maxtracker2904good god imagine the content when we also have primaris auspex
I like how as someone that has 5 armies and has played since 5th ed who plays multiple times a week I still am like "Oh boy cant wait to hear how every army plays" just because its Auspex explaining
Right!
I played in 5th, then had to quit until end of 9th cuz of life reasons. I studied 6, 7 and 8th tho.
Coming back I knew I wanted to play blood angels but that's it. Auspex helped me figure out what to buy first. Not just his videos either, I messaged him on FB and he responded.
Truly an A+++ individual. If all Warhammer players were more like him, then we'd no longer have those select little pockets of toxic people (to be fair, Warhammer has less than any other game played on a table. Magic is ok, except everyone is "that guy" and at least half use body odor as a weapon (if there is a mtg tournament, I will choose a different location. Our main local store is huge largest I've seen, but not big enough you can escape the smell of ten mtg players being in the room. (Play area is almost as big as the entire planet fitness building next door to it, and gyms have to be big-ish for all the equipment and boxing ring).
D&d players say they are new people friendly, but even when they know you don't have books and it's your first time playing that edition, they expect you to just figure it out without help. Maybe inform the rogue that boots of elven kind are something they want?
Warhammer is different. I've only met one dude that ever smells bad, and that only happens when you schedule a game close enough to the time he gets off that he can't shower before hand. Other than that, everyone is very welcoming, and they don't just stomp you, if they stomp you they give you pointers on how to prevent it from happening again. Models not fully painted because I got a bad back.... No worries the fact they are in progress is good enough.
Auspex does our community justice, maybe even makes us look cooler than we are.
I’m in the opposite position, I am looking for a new army to branch into, and most of the things I know about any army that isn’t custodes are from lore and memes
As a poor bastard, I watch this video like an orphan victorian boy looks through a toy shop window. 😂
Me who’s just here for the lore: 😶🌫️
Chaos Knights in Lore: Towering engines of destruction. On Table: a swarm of Dreadnought + mini mechs.
Don't forget the Nurglings! :D
i would argue far better then dreaghtnought xD
All aboard the Scopedog Express!
Nids: Just score secondary's with spore mines and rippers while picking up your models from the table the whole game.
Sororitas is such an odd faction.
You are drawn in by the appeal of nuns with guns and blind faith... and then you realise half your army is tanks and mutilated dudes (Arcoflagellants and engines).
And many of your sisters and their attached heroes are left behind to hold objectives.
Depends on the list. Current tournament winning Sisters lists are MSU swarm with 50+ regular battle sisters sitting on all the points farming miracle and getting in the way as the artillery and vahlgons take care of everything else.
Mutilated dudes are critical to the faction IMO. The sisters are the veneer - all covered in images of purity and sanctity - while the archoflagellants show the faction for what they really are; the closest things to chaos the Imperium has. Agreed on the tanks though.
But the tanks are the best thing. Finally I can use predators without having to play space marines
It would be interesting to see how each faction plays between each edition, rather than the descent into "horde" or "not horde" we have now.
Unfortunately the only balance indexes can get now are point drop turning them into hordes. It *should* be better when everyone has a codex . Then true balancing (internal and external) can happen
@@zissoulander but the month after the last codex, the next edition begins
World Eaters only had a 9E codex out for a few weeks before 10E came out
@KappaKiller108 it's so fucking stupid, why does GW think it's a good idea to drop codexes in this wonky schedule and why do costumers accept this shit, every codex should come out the moment the new edition begins
I was talking to an engineer buddy of mine recently. I was telling him about how the fluff of the Chicken Walkers was that they never get turned off, because the guy that knows how to turn them on died. He started cackling because there were programs and procedures that he has in office that know one understands why, but the guy that set it up retired and it still works so it's best not to test it
58 minutes of just space marines and chaos space marines
My brother in the Omnissiah, it is 4 in the morning, now 5 in the morning. Do you sleep?
i'm assuming he's a brit, and it was mid-morning when this got uploaded
@@therobotFrom94yeah im reasonably sure he is.
@@hardcorelace7565 well he's definitely British but I didn't want to assume he lived here
Admech. Horde. It's not supposed to be but that's what is.
A gross mismanagement of the ip and the faction. Should turn the CEO into a servitor...
Very very helpful. I've been wanting the get back into the hobby after not having played since 3rd edition. Now after watching this video I'm only torn between 4 armies; Aeldari, Tau, Necrons, and Nids.
Leaning heavily towards Aeldari as the 'Eldar' were my first love in 40k.
Better start doing meth: it's cheaper, healthier, and your dealer respects you more
I did this recently under the same circumstances, played eldar in 2nd and 3rd, came back in 10th, playing Tau now, lovin em. Always liked the idea of ranged firepower and handing out the greatest of goods
Jump into your Eldar. You know you want to
@@arc4830 As a child of the 80's who grew up on Robotech/Macross and tabletop Battletech, the Tau esthetic is quite appealing to me.
Careful with Nids, lots of models are tough to find these days, it can be a very stressful thing on your motivation level
I am impressed with the sheer amount of information here. Very well done.
Love this video. A good way to know what everyone has and what to watch out for with my army.
Heads up, deathwatch is mislabelled on the chapters, it's placed on where death guard are who don't appear on the chapters
This is the video I needed, before starting my second army. Happy with my Votann but I want to go a little more tricksy with my second army :D
Rock and stooone BROTHAA
This was amazing, and a great recap for someone looking to get back into competitive play
Blessed Be!!!!!
I am always happy that I have found this channel!!!
As a extreme-noob , I desperately need guidance in the WH40K Realm.
Suspect Tactics is hands on in learning the chapters/factions/armies/legions .
Keep up the awesome work!!!!!
Be well
Be safe
This video was exactly what I was looking for!
Wonderful video, thank you very much :)
Side not from me: I would add the Biovore as the key unit for the tyranids. Without here it is very hard to score secondaries and win any games
Stop mentioning decreasing the cost of Kastellans. As an AdMech player I don't want them to be cheaper. I want them to be stronger.
I do agree. The problem is that GW is allergic to rules changes and usually only wants to change point costs for balance. It's the major reason why Admech aren't looking to be a big contender for this edition.
Codex launched in a really lackluster state and GW seems like they won't do anything to actually make the units more dangerous, just make you field more of them.
That would be the conundrum with Kastellan Robots, either they need a boast in their datasheet to justify their current points cost or a decrease in points if they remain as they are.
Bro/bro-ess? He gets it. He's always pointing out admech need rules or datasheet buffs and not points decreases. He mentions this in basically every video that mentions admech.
Ffs the whole codex needs to be burnt to ash and be re-written. I wanted to start an Admech 1000pts force and realised that Ill have to spend half a salary on it and they would be trash. Hitting on 4s while having no melee ? Stratagems suck or are situational and the salt in the wound is the vehicle oriented detachment that all it pretty much does is give the Doctrinas to the Kastelans. Its so f'ed up its like GW just outirght HATES admech
Tyranids playstyle: trying to not be tabled by the end of round 5, being surprised whenever your unit DID NOT die, being disappointed because battleshock didn’t do sh!t again, dancing around tanks because you can’t dent them… sooo much fun.
Yeah, literally this. I feel like I'm playing hide and seek with lictors at the end because I'm just trying to avoid certain death. Nearly took out a land raider in one turn with the casino cannon last game though
It's baffling to me that half the faction identity seems to revolve around battle shock which is pretty much a nothing no impact mechanic even when it DOES activate. I've never had an opponent's battle shocked units be the reason the tide turned. And for how little it does proc, it genuinely makes me question what the point of the mechanic is. It's the one rule that everyone I play with near unanimously forgets exists, even when I'm bringing NIDS to the table. It makes me wish that it was either not in the game and all abilities revolving around it are completely re-worked (much more effort) or that battle shock itself gets re-worked.
Talked about it with a friend and we homebrewed an alternative ruleset because we were both tired of our big tanky units getting one shot if we didn't win the dice roll to go first, so we decided to play with alternating move-shoot where each player does a single unit's move-shoot-charge-fight phase before passing it to the other person, and reworking battle shock into a morale system like in Total War where units who fail the check will fall back half their movement (disabled on Battle Round 1 because of things like AdMech Rad-Zone), and if they hit the edge of the board as a result, they'll flee to the reserves, allowing them to be deployed elsewhere. It's a lot more dynamic and fun in our opinion because he gets to actually use his Baneblade and it'll survive long enough to actually fire at least one time. Counter units live long enough to actually counter SOMETHING instead of being deleted because you rolled a 1 and your opponent rolled a 5, so they get to move and shoot before you even have a chance to respond. We're still tweaking it, but at least now battle shock does something more interesting. We even thought about changing it to a failed battle shock check rolls 1d6 and if it rolls a 6 it will retreat its full movement away from the closest enemy unit because we thought Deadly Demise was by far the most entertaining and hilariously fun ability. Always a good time when something explodes.
@@tgr3423 it's called One Page Rules ;) look it up, many people love it
This is the video i needed when i started
ah yes, my favorite ad mech playstyle: bad
The Sisters of Battle detachment does combo with a 2 CP strat in that detachment that gives a unit fight on death. Basically, have a full brick of Repentia get stuck in combat, pop the strat if 2 CP are available, and if more than half died in combat watch the carnage ensue when they hit back on 3s and wound gravis armor level toughness on 3s.
Great video as always. I'm tired of beating this drum, but until The Hive Mind can develop ways of dealing with armor and/or high toughness, i don't see their win rate improving much of at all this edition. I still love them though!
Good video for players looking to play the game :D
I've been researching to see which army my 1st 40k purchase will go towards and this channel (along with a few others) have been excellent sources.
Never played this game. Watched the whole thing love the rundown 😂
I've never played Warhammer, but the Space Wolves look awesome, I wish I had the money to buy a Bjorn the Fell-Handed just because he looks so awesome. But even if I did, *YOU CAN'T FUCKING BUY HIM IN AUSTRALIA.*
Man you are puuumping out vids at the moment mate. Well in!
Honestly as someone who wants knights to be better as a whole. I think a simple buff would be giving them a 2+ armor save on the big knights at a minimum. It makes 0 sense that a leman russ, a mass produced tank that lore wise goes does to nearly everything. has a 2+ save while a massive walking mech covered in ion shields and beloved by knights and the ad mech. Has a 3+. makes 0 sense
Not listing Biovore as a key unit for the 'Nids when the Biomine strat is between 10-20% of their current winrate is laughable, not to mention they can do decent damage outside of that. Auto-include for virtually any list.
Yeah, I'm surprised the spore mines have still escaped being slapped with a "this unit cannot perform secondaries" nerf.
@@MrShukaku1991 I think GW knows we would be unplayable without it propping up our winrate and are too lazy to actually fix the codex in return for getting rid of them.
Yay for not forgetting grey knights!!!
-Adeptus Custodes : super elite soldiers that are really hard to ki...ah wait, no, not anymore they aren't.
-Adeptus Custodes : super elite soldiers that are super good at punching above their weight...ah wait no, they took away our +1 to wound strat so we can't really kill tanks efficiently anymore...damn it, let's try again !
-Adeptus Custodes : super elite soldiers that are kinda cheap for what they d...what do you mean we're way more expensive than before the index???
...Ok, just don't play custodes.
hehe sounds to me like karma...custodes was quite a meta whore army and now it seems the table has turned :D
I saw people wining after codex, but the list was the worst part (canis rex + 3 calladius grav tanks + characters, how you said, If you want to play custodes, dont play them, use imperial knight with some random custodes characters to follow them xd
We, admech players, stand by you. 💪See you in V11
I'm really getting a lot of mileage with a Sons of Sanguinius detachment LR Crusader, 6 Aggressors, Grav Capt, and Biologis.
How the hell you know what Im looking for and give it to me without asking?! Witchcraft and heresy!
I like armies without too many models to pick from. I settled on the Votann because a) ROCK AND STONE and b)they have a decent range but not overwhelming. what other armies come into that category?
Custodes for sure, idk about others.
Imperial/Chaos Knights, and from what I hear grey knights, custodes, thousand sons, death guard, and world eaters as well.
@@hardcorelace7565 if I picked up Custodes I'd need to come up with a new colour scheme as I really don't like gold
@@nunyabusiness7018 I love the idea of playing Chaos, TS would probably be my pick but I'm interested in Emperor's Children too
@@therobotFrom94 there's a couple of really cool non gold ones, like the shadowkeeper black/purple looks great!
Who'd have thought that the god types in the game have rules to match. It's not constant across the range.
I played a custodes 1k force and just... Holy CRAP they are terrifying if you dont have an answer before they get in melee range
Only Grey Knights Strike Squads have the sticky objective ability. The Interceptor Squad can move far, up to 18” and 24” if using a strat, but do not have the sticky icky objective ability.
As an imperial fist my play style is to endure a tough punches because I also get 2nd turn and hit back harder.
I mostly enjoy shooting but sprinkle in melee when needed. Centurions are my melee.
This might just be me, but I hope Henry Cavill hires Auspex to do a voice roll in his movie, Maby as an AI character or something…. Just like a random few lines in the show because of how iconic his voice is amusing the Warhammer 40k community, it seems like Auspex is the 1st thing I hear about when a veteran player says to help learn , or a newbie will be like “hey I found this CZcams channel that’s awesome to help! lol I know it’s random but it’s one of those things I’d love to see from somone who loves the whole hobby like i really feel Cavill does !
I love that AT's videos cater for new and returning players as much as veterans, every one is useful.
Man, I wish the CSM had more shooty options. Just to balance it out more. I kinda hate the idea that GW has decided Chaos = Melee. Though I guess I'm more appropriately asking for an updated Defiler, and/or a Predator refresh.
My guess is that with 10th edition they are trying to prevent power creep. But since we have the indexes to compare to it leaves people with feels bad.
Alot to go through here
Meganobz lost Dev Wounds to get 4+ inv save (*on waaagh)? I don't see it as an improvement. Or do they have both abilities? My codex is still preordered.
They lost their ability to kill things but gained the ability to not be killed (easily) in the WAAGH
Christ man, do you even sleep?
He’s the man!!!
It still perplexes me that dreadnoughts don't have an invuln.
Dw knight terminators: weak damage for terminators which are already lacking damage 😅. The DA review is really tamed as the only way to play them is to forget their units besides Azrael and Darkshroud and play ironstorm like most of the SM armies.
Deathwing termies are good. 5 more points than normal termies and you ignore hit modifiers and can run a plasma cannon!
Please let Night Lords get Raptors and Warp Talons as battleline in the codex
I really hate that GW didn't give Codex Compliant Chapters some kind of Chapter bonus. And I'm still scrathching my head why GW decided to make all Combi Weapons use the same characteristics, when every prior edition they were basically Bolters with a 2nd ranged weapon attached like a Flamer, Melta, Plasma, etc... and the Bolter still had access to Rapid Fire 1. You had the option to Fire both Combi weapons, but at the cost of -1 to Hit.
I agree
I really think the lion and gulliman should be 300 points compared to ctan and demon primarchs they’re just not as good for their points cost
We are All(pharius).
HOW
To the window, to the 1:22:20
And again about the Death Guard,, why plugburst crawler if there is a defiler with a better gun and an excellent melee fight? Much better target for buffs, and much better for aggressive play to occupy central strategic points.
Plagueburst has indirect
Indirect fire makes a big difference especially when combined with the lord of virulence, it’s easier to keep them safe/actually able to be hidden behind most terrain, their sponson weapons are generally better than the defiler’s, and arguably most importantly they are cheaper.
Plus it’s pretty hard to really utilise the defiler’s melee given it’s basically got a giant ‘shoot me’ sign on it, and there isn’t much of a damage difference in their main gun… +1 damage vs lethal hits… so it’s a more expensive and risky unit for not all that much in the way of benefits (especially when if you want something to park on a middle objectives there’s better death guard units t which you where already prob gonna take).
I shudder when my opponent puts three plagueburst tanks on the field. They instantly become priority targets due to indirect fire.
@@Swampert919 But an enemy shooting at a defiler is wonderful. Stealth and cover behind the smoke stratagem.
It is only 10(!) points more expensive, not 40 or 80. This is a ridiculous difference.
The plugburst's sponson guns are weak, do not shoot far, and are quite comparable to one twin-linked defiler laser cannon.
And what kind of threat is this that is scary to receive an indirect hit with damage 2? This is an anti-infantry profile.
And, again, it is useless in close combat in an army about close combat and mid-range combat.
@@Wybrand418 What if he places three defilers, who will go under the smoke screen, which stacks with the disease at -1 to the ballistic skill? Which has more damage, better range, strong melee and a terrifying tank shock? Or do your armies somehow shoot at each other without entering the line of sight?
Their have always been Ork custodians.
Deathwatch is actually on 36:43
38:24 being Death Guard's review
Oh goody, I still don't know how to play my army even tho I have almost 4k points!
space wolves?
It's amazing how Space marines have the lowest WR.
They're below *Ad-Mech*
Only for the generic no brand marines though. Take any legendary character or unique chapter and those rates go up
The problem is that space marines is by far and away the most popular newbie faction. Which means all the inexperienced players bringing SM armies are hurting them.
It also doesn’t help most experienced marine players are going into a divergent chapter this edition for Space Marine +
@@timunderbakke8756 I agree - I think it is just the high new player rate that is driving their numbers down. Any serious competitive player can take them all the way.
'EAD WHOPPAS KILL CHOPPA
How can you win vs Big demons with necrons? They destroy ctans and wraiths with precision shalaxi and belakor's lone operative dont let you shoot with heavy lokhust/Doomsday arks/doomstalkers.
Hi, Auspex! Thank you for your video! Just one comment on Space Marines: the Space Marines' biggest weakness is that they don't have enough Lieutenant models, lol. No ,I'm just kidding. Thank you, Auspex!
Guys, ATTENTION!!!
AUSPEX FORGOT ABOUT HIS CHANNEL. *he probably didn't give us new video in 5 min*
Do you have an alpha legion of clones to produce this much content?
As a world eater player if it wasn’t already obvious because of my profile pic I tend to just smash my units into my enemy and use jackels to take points for me. My friend hates this because he uses a shooty necron army and if my boys get in close he struggles to do anything to me. He wins more than I do by a little bit but he hates the feeling of half his army not being able to do anything 🤣
40k AdMech really doesnt hold a candle to 30k. Wheres my god damned 20ft robots GW?!
Ill take the 47% win rate of the blood angels
Just to point out on Death Guard that Purifier's foul infusion makes their meltas the strongest on table top for example they can make them ap-6 (ap-7 if you pick -1 to save spread the sickness) and ignore cover and they lethal hit on 5s for the entire plague marine unit is very terrifying for certain tanks like Rogal dorns who don't have a invuln. Not only that but their melee out does Khorne berserkers by a mile as you can give the plague marines 5 heavy plague weapons which is 4+ str 8 ap-2 d2 lethal on 5s can make them ap-3 or 4 possibly 5 because of spread the sickness while the khorne berserkers can only have two eviscerators. The purifier has his own tier in Death Guard because he turns your plague marines into easily the strongest marines in the game with the full lethal hits and crits on 5+ and comes strapped with grenades.
Question for you. Do you ever use a land raider or just rhinos? If you do use a land raider do you have a suggestion on what should go in it?
@@wolfgangstallionmusic5639 Dependant on what you want, if it's melee land raider if it's range rhino because it's cheaper.
im gonna be honest i dont quite see the application of 6 ap
theres a point you get to where ap stops mattering much
@@mouthwide0pen It means anything with a 2+ save can't save but ap -7 makes it so even with cover it can't save so the appeal of it is that it's insane tank killing when something only has a 2+ save.
Admech, I play with my wallet 😅
Eventually instead of minis Ad Mech will just use gold tokens on the table to simulate the cost of the army :P
Wraiths are not scary just annoying because they just don't kill anything, still love em though
Leeeeets gooooo
"Space Marines, the poster boys of the Imperium."
Cracked me up
Deathwatch is at 36:43
38:24 is Death Guard's overview
Should hopefully be fixed now
Drukhari poison was a 9th edition specialty, they did away with it in 10th edition. However they did make poison rather potent in the one page rules Grimdark Future, but for warhammer 40k poison is gone... Hopeful they bring in a detachment that revitalizes this if and when we get some codex love.
That's what the [ANTI-INFANTRY 3+] on half of their weapons is meant to represent.
What, no intro? I had no idea what to expect.
Admech (In theory) : Shooting and shooting, use battleline/C-electro priest to finish secondary
Admech (For real) : GO CHICKEN GOO~
NOT FUN, NOT FUNNY AT ALL🙄
I got some 3D printed "outriders" but I guess a Landraider would make more sense for keeping mobile + charging.
I played my first match using my friend's Orks against another Ork player and basically this guy uses massive Ork vehicles to carry his Boys & Beast Nagas around- he destroyed my friend's units.
It wasn't even close to a fair fight thanks to his vehicles, I'm wondering how I'm even going to be able to counter this with my Blood Ravens even if I get a Landraider.
adeptus custodes is wrong now :(
Timestamps are way off
I've only looked at the Chaos and Drukhari factions, and Death Guard was the only one wrong
This is so incorrect for my DG
:)

:'D

Do you sleep?
He waits…
17:28 you need to say THEY now that female costières are cannon
'eck-tock-luh-dees' it's greek ffs
Add a comment...
Given Khorne has the blood rage, I'm not sure why they decided on female Custodes instead of female Khorne Berserkers. :D
About as funny as a stomach ulcer
Admech is Terrible now poorly balenced sure but even their gameplay loop is no fun win or loose
Oh man I desperately want to get into this channel but these videos are just toooo long.
This shit gives me dejavu. Every couple of years you have to basically make the exact same videos but with the new rules. Does it ever get old making these stuffy old warhammer videos? Must be makin decent money
You forgot how custodes have stratagems to summon bears with their periods cause now they are women
blackrock owns GW and makes them dance to their woke politics
It’s sad how lame tyranid army rule is
