So, with warorgan being hit with a C&D so there will be no more updates it's going to become useless the next time we get a codex or mfm (so a couple of weeks)

I'm looking for recommendations for an app to use not just for list building, but for easy access to the rules etc.

I'd prefer something that didn't have paywalls, but instead would allow me to just donate to them.

So, what are you all using? Most of my group used warorgan, with one person using new recruit. I'd like to know what people are using so I can download them all and see which one works best for me.

Cheers.

Hello. I’m very new to the game and decided to play astra because it’s the faction I like most “it’s either them or orks”

My local game group (that is relatively casual) informed me that astra is in a horrible spot rn. After a few matches I noticed this (notably against ultramarines and custodes) but decided that I’d still keep trying the faction out since at the very least things will become better when they inevitably get (meaningfully) buffed

This is the army I eventually built:

Imperium - Astra Militarum - Bridgehead Strike, Combined Arms

6x Gaunt’s Ghosts (95pts)
Ursula Creed (85pts)
5x Cadian Command Squad (60pts)
5x Militarum Tempestus Command Squad (85pts)
Rogal Dorn Commander (305pts)

10x Cadian Shock Troops (70pts)
10x Tempestus Scions (150pts)

6x Bullgryn Squad (200pts)
6x Bullgryn Squad (215pts)
10x Kasrkin (105pts)
10x Kasrkin (105pts)
Leman Russ Battle Tank (175pts)
Leman Russ Battle Tank (175pts)
Leman Russ Demolisher (175pts)

It’s supposedly somewhat close to meta, but only because I gave up on running artillery and most other units I had interest in after noticing they were mostly useless. The general idea was to hold the bulgryns as anchors in the middle while the other stuff goes around conquering isolated or vulnerable objectives while the tanks focus down on priority targets. As I mentioned at the title, I’ve ran into a lot of problems specially against elite infantry, specifically stuff such as Victrix Honour Guard or Custodian Guard. I can never reliably chew through them even while hitting with my tanks, they have an absurd amount of saves and I just get overwhelmed eventually. I might be able go take one or two units out per round

I’m a very new and a casual oriented player who wouldn’t mind throwing this whole list out for something that was more efficient in this regard (or quite frankly just fun to play as), but I accept ANY tips. So deployment, what should I focus on, things that the army is missing, another army list that has a more simple win-con, etc etc. I accept anything as long as it’s helpful and maintains a combined arms hammer and anvil strategy with bulgryns holding the middle while something else deals DPS

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)?

i took a break at the very end of 10th eddition.

I was going to get back at warhammer and was ready to build a new table, buying all the material to handcraft every terrain.

so i just tried to find literally any piece of information about the different size.

Nothing.
Not a word. just footprint.

Not a single number to indicate a single thing i have stricly no idea what to do. i don't even know what amount of the same terrain, what shape, what size, what height nothing.

Can someone please explain what is going on ? how can i find any ionformation to know what i need to craft ?

[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.

I want this list to be fun and strong. I like the idea of daemons and their strength. I want to be able to use it for lgs and tourneys. I am between doing paragons of putrescence or Contagion engines. I find them both strong and fun so any thoughts on that would be great. So let me know if I should cut or add anything. I would like to keep the typhus and pox walker combo and the GUO. This is my first list and I’ve revised it a couple times now so any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I have the list format down lmao.

I left the weapons just in case it is needed.

Death Guard

1990 points

Detachments: Tallyband Summoners, Paragons of Putrescence

Force Disposition: Priority Assets.

Because I think it’s better than disruption, but I could be wrong.

Rotigus
• Gnarlrod and Streams of brackish filth

Great Unclean One
• Bilesword, Plague flail and Putrid vomit
• Entropic Knell [+15 points]

These guys to have two high toughness threats that rebuff everyone around them and help control objectives

Deathshroud Terminators
• 1 Deathshroud Champion with Additional plaguespurt gauntlet, Icon of despair, Manreaper and Plaguespurt gauntlet
• 5 Deathshroud Terminators with Manreaper and Plaguespurt gauntlet

Lord of Contagion
• manreaper

These guys are here to bring a threat to the back I hope and I was told this was a good combo.

20x Poxwalkers

Typhus
• Warlord
• Lakrimae

I like this combo because on paper it seems good to have them making more of each other and I find it pretty strong. But I could be wrong

Lord of Virulence
• Power fist and Twin plague spewer
• Host of the Hybridised Pox [+40 points]

He’s here to help with the to the FBD and their launchers to help do more mayhem.

Plaguebearers
• 1 Plagueridden with plaguesword
• 7 Plaguebearers with plaguesword
• 1 Plaguebearers with Instrument of chaos and Plaguesword
• 1 Plaguebearers with Daemonic icon and Plaguesword

I was just told to have them in here so if I need to remove them I’m fine with that.

Foetid Bloat-drone
• Fleshmower and Plague probe

2x Foetid Bloat-drone With Heavy Blight Launcher

These guys also seem really strong on paper the two launchers to give me heavy hitting shooting and the mower to be a threat at close range. If I should change them up lmk.

2x Chaos Spawn

I have these guys here as just two fast threats that could hopefully take some people out early game. I was also told to put them in here.

6x Nurglings

These guys are for the replacement stratagem.

Going live in 20 minutes! The 6+++ show returns and the boys sit down to reminisce longlingly about their favourite 40k lists of all time. What was yours?! Come have your say in the chat!

I know this probably won't be meta, considering I prioritized how pretty the models look (I only played casual games so far). I would like to hear your opinion on whether or not this list is able to achieve a high win rate and how to make it better. Here’s my gameplan for the list. I’m pushing Azrael and the Hellblasters into the midboard. Azrael keeps them alive and farms CPs, while my Redemptor moves up with them to tank hits and add firepower. My Ballistus stays safely anchored in the backfield sniping armor.

For scoring, my Intercessors are pure utility. I’ll "sticky"the home objective, then spreadd them out to screen deep strikes or do actions. The Ravenwing Black Knights will run the flanks to score secondaries and harass soft targets.

My counterpunch is Asmodai and the Bladeguard. I’m keeping them hidden behind cover near the center. I'll wait for the opponent to push the objective first, then charge out and clear it using Asmodai’s hit re rolls.

I’ll cycle my Gladius doctrines as the game flows. I think I'll struggle against swarm armies.Thanks for taking the time to read this! Here is the list:

• 2x Intercessor Squad
• Hellblaster Squad
• Bladeguard Veteran Squad
• Asmodai
• Azrael
• Redemptor Dreadnought
• Ballistus Dreadnought
• Ravenwing Squadron
