I like the way you think
The Hades really is a wild unit for the guard! Some very interesting ideas here.
I've heard of Hades being used in huge apocalypse games and it really sounds like a massive opportunity on extra huge boards.
There is one strategy thats a bit cheaper that's similar to your infantry squad bomb - with Tempestus Scions + a Tempestus Command Squad, you can get a very similar wall of plasma fire, hitting on 3s. Courtesy of Mordian Glory.
True. I'll discuss Scions eventually. The funny reason why I don't is because I don't like my paint job on them 😅
3 rapier laser destroyer batteries- 6 twin linked laser cannons going off in the back line would shift many heavy things
Oh frick!!! I forgot those had the Infantry keyword!

I just brought 6, only just realised the other day. Need another breaching drill then can threaten any armour that’s hiding away
Deepstrike an earthshaker
GTFO here before they nerf our Hades Breaching Drill 🤣🤣🤣
I used one of these stuffed w/ straken and a load of Catachans in an escalation league. Did it work as intended... Maybe once every 3 games. Was everyone in my local meta changing thier battle planes because I had a meme unit in my list....you better believe it. If you fail that 1dt charge though 😱
Yeah. They work better as sets or 2 or 3 to create multiple charging threats and likelihood of at least 1 success.
I really think this looks seriously fun! Just for the hype this could be a great unit!
Sergeant steel you missed the best synergy and strategy with the drill! I suggest you redo the video because it is worth covering imho. Get a unit of kasrkin (they get scouts) get them to die on the first turn( attempt to not get battle shocked), then on turn 2 you spend CP to reinforce them. Now that puts them in strategic reserves, and that means you can deep strike the reinforced kasrkin squad with the drill. You can obviously do this with other units but kasrkin do it best thanks to scouts and their auto order.
I mentioned that you can use it on Kasrkin and Reinforcement resurrected units. Do keep in mind though that Reinforcements has to be used immediately when a unit is destroyed, so if the Kasrkin are destroyed Turn 1, you'd have to use it then when they are destroyed. But, you'd have 2 CP if you went first or if you had Leontus, so it's a viable strategy.
@@CadianSergeantSteel Missed it... Sorry! Gj then!
Firstly, you would have to go first. Second, just place them in reserves. WHY would you waste 2cp? Warrior Elite can be used while the unit is in reserves. Also, 110 points is a LOT just to deliver a Kasrkin unit from deep strike. Just use Scions if you want to deep strike essentially the same weapon profile and save yourself 110 points. HBD is more useful carrying large amounts of non-deepstrike models anyways. Personally, I would put 20 kreigers, a platoon squad, and a psyker to get 10 special weapons and then use Rapid Ingress to plant them up my opponents bunghole, using the HBD to screen any unwanted attention, or to charge something itself. If the unit survives til your turn, if you dont move, you get Lethals and +1 to hit if youve taken losses, +1 to wound if youve lost more than half wounds. Setup properly and with the Psychic Barrier, this shouldnt be too difficult to accomplish, giving you hits on 3+ and a choice between hitting on 2s with Take Aim or getting an additional 15 shots with FRFSRF. The Platoon Commander will take Drill Commander, so those lethals will be popping off on 5+ as well. 45 shots, with lethals on 5+, hitting on 3+ aint too shabby. A test roll gives me 14 lethal hits for 18 damage and 12 additional hits for 14 damage, not including Melta and GL damage. Thats just las guns and plasma rifles, from an infantry squad. The Psyker would also be handing out D6+3 blast, 2 damage hitting on 2+ as well. Depending on what you're targeting, you can blow up some pretty juicy targets. Theres multiple ways you can make up this attack group too. Two Infantry Squad with a Platoon Cmd Squad is a good way to deepstrike 3 Las Cannons into some problematic areas for your opponents. You may not even need to take the Psyker with the 48" range on those bad boys either.
20 man inf with 2 heavy lascannon a command squad with a sniper and heavy lascannon with kyria draxus for 18" lone ope shinnanigans also put 2 snipers in inf squads for 3 total snipers 3 heavy lascannons in a lone op 18" blob of anti tank and hero 😊
The filthy xenos will burn from high power flashlights!
Love it!!!!
Not a in your face blob but a serious threat if unchecked and with kyria draxus you don't need to stay still for +1 to hit so long as your fighting xenos don't forget take aim from platoon command Squad, this makes for a mobil high hit rate heavy las team. 18" lone ope solves biggest problem for heavy weapons 😊
If only they were EVER in stock! What’s the downside of placing the drill on a base?
Nothing as long as you and your opponent still measure to the hull. Check out Cadian Shock's Hades Brezching Drills on bases if you haven't seen them yet. They are amazing.
Sergeant, do you have advice for painting the focal lens on Las Guns?
I do Korne Red, then do my shade on my model, then come back with Evil Sunz Scarlet, Fire Dragon Bright, and Flayed One Flesh to create a bright spot on the red lense.
@@CadianSergeantSteel thanks! I shall give that a try!
Great video man! Hey Ihow do you magnetize the bottoms of your vehicles for putting them in magnetized bins for transport?
I typically use two to four 5 or 6x2mm magnets in the tracks. That's usually enough to hold them in place.
@@CadianSergeantSteel gotcha. So do you drill holes through the tracks into a bogey? I got a BANEBLADE! and a Shadowsword as part of a used army! And I have to get them magnetized sor boxes.
@badrabbit9703 usually the 2mm depth doesn't reach much beyond the tracks themselves. Anything that does penetrate past the tracks gets covered up by my mud effects around the tracks.
Infantry can only take a Plasma for every 10 models in the unit, so you can only have one extra Plasma in a unit of 18. Might as well toss an extra Heavy Weapon into the Platoon Cmd Squad for a total of 3.
True. So with a Platoon Command you could get 1 Plasma and 1 Heavy Bolter. For me, I like the trade off of the medic kit, banner, and master Vox-caster too much to pass up on those.
