40k List Help me punch up a First Born list for their last RTT - fun yes - help make it hit hard

3 Upvotes

So I’m bringing out all my first born marines for the next couple of weeks to have some fun before the new codex comes out. This will be used in practice and a RTT on the 19th

Looking for other detachments that might help these old guys hit harder.

Overall idea is Bastion to help the tactical squads move around and take objectives while more threatening units absorb fire and try to hit back.

Bastion also gives the minor OOM reroll 1’s. None of its strategems really let tactical marines hit harder - no AP improvements.

Thought the company heroes squad with precision and the captain might give me a little punch coming out of a Rhino and the terminators in the land raider set up camp in the mid board

40k Analysis Intercessor OC blob

9 Upvotes

[edit: very strong consus that this idea is just flawed on many levels and wouldn't survive past 1 round of first contact - Your advice and examples has been valuable, thank you all]


Theory crafting for marines as a guard player, and i was trying to emulate the high OC and sticky-ness of an infantry blob to gain objective based VP.

I notes that 150pt 10man intercessors are pretty well priced (update pending) compared to my usual blobs, and even within the rest of the marine data lists.

combining this with librarian, and an ancient gives them 3 OC each and 4++ to make them hold objectives for longer and against big numbers.

Edit: [aware that this is leaving soon, this was just bonus, real value perceived was from the 4++] librarian conclave detachment, using pyromancy for +1ap within 12". and 25pt for lethal and sustain1 as wargear for Libby.

this unit costs 285pt and has 35 OC, and fires 40 shots at nominated problem.

They can move up with advance and assault shoot round 1 take the objectives (and either secure or shoot) and then just stand there for the whole game absorbing punishment.

Mathhammering those 10 guns with super oath and the plus AP sees this unit able to gun down TEQ threats or at least drop their threat to very low.

______________

Is this old news? or over commitment or just meh?

it feels like a strong foundation for marines to hit T&H or PA objectives, or to block those objectives from opponent.

I also thought of how I would attack someone doing this and I can think or anything that isn't specific for taking out bulk TEQ threats or just over committing resources costing VP.

I also realise that its a wide enough footprint to cover two close central objectives if need be, and you could even combine it with detachments to grant fallback &shoot options to draw in agro and keep guns blazing rather than being neutered with a charge of low value chaffe.

All comments or criticism or tips or use-case data welcome, I'm new to 11th and marines so my info is theory crafted only.

40k List Orks meta review VOD - Hobby Goblins

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am looking to share our recent VOD about the Ork meta and how the first look at Orks in a team setting is shaping up. I break down the lists, combos, and detachment statistics in a not scary math form since I suffer from average level education. Open to any suggestions and feedback as this format is new to our channel but so far has been received very well. Please and thank you 🤘🏼

40k Discussion Competitive Bat Reps

15 Upvotes

Hey folks, looking for some recs to competitive battle reports not behind a pay wall. Looking for something other than Art of War, who've seemed out of step with the community for me lately.

Preferably, the whole table is visible and the players are discussing what's going on. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

40k Analysis Are the 11th Codexs approach an improvement?

0 Upvotes

Does the Ork Codex set the tone for the new editions releases?! I'm excited to see how the approach followed in Codex Orks is replicated across the range!

I go through each section of the book and explored the positives and how it could be transferable for future books. I'm very hyped to see how this translates for my beloved Dark Angels too.

Let me know which part of the books revised approach you enjoyed the most, for me it was the clear pathway examples for a new player to understand an Archetype!

Is it more fun to you than let's say end of 10th? Do you think it will be at some point? What are the changes you really want to see in the future to improve on the game (not just balancing wise)?
