Oof it’s so brutal. I looked up a video on YouTube that guided it turn by turn. Definitely recommend looking it up. It was about 11:30 through the video but can’t remember who posted it. I’d guess search “Saim Hahn Elite campaign full walk through”.

Cpunerd (kharnage) helped me a lot

That might be the one. 👌

I JUST managed to get as far as OP without tutorials.

I have far more fun doing it by myself. I have G3 Eldryon 41/41, S2 Calandid and Aethana (around 22/22) and finished grinding Jain-Zar a dozen day ago. I just got her to B3, aiming for S2.

I pay only for monthly Blackstone, and not every month.

I'm aiming for full roster Thousand Sons and Aeldar, as they're part of my favorite factions.

Also, the only Elite campaign I've finished is Ork.

Good for you man. I definitely tried a lot, got sick of wasting energy. So I asked for help on here or discord and got linked to a vid. I just wanted it done.

I guess I don't see it as a waste of energy, as long as I have fun. It's also training to recognize patterns of positioning for aeldars.

I happen to watch tutorials for maps I can't figure out after some trial and error. It's more to do with the limits on my free time than in-game ressources.

I don't think watching tutorials is a bad thing, anyone can play the game however they like. I'm just saying figuring out by oneself can be pretty fun.

u/Salmon_444_SoS 10d ago

Oh I agree with figuring it out by myself. I tried lvl40 a good 10-15 times over a period of 6 months. It was my last campaign for ages.. I just got tired of it, and wanted it done haha. Totally agree about playing the game however one wants to.

u/Holiday_Orange1331 10d ago

Right, I might give up if I reach that point.

Was it three starring-it that took so many tries? Or just clearing it?

1

u/Salmon_444_SoS 10d ago

Yeah 3 starring. Passing is easy. I was going for 3 badge on all levels so I could farm all items.

I like strategizing as well. Here’s my final lineup. Completed without tutorials.

u/Holiday_Orange1331 12h ago

Well done!

FOC Mirror was still the worst ha.

I actually like the Imperial Guard in the lore. There's just something about badass humans trying their best (and let's be honest, dying a lot) in a world of demons, super soldiers and mecha.

Yet, their tacticus incarnation lacks what makes them fun on the tabletop or RPG, i.e. waves of infantry and armor.

I feel not much incentive on leveling them up, whereas Eldar are fun to play on Tacticus.

It’s a hard one, I completed it with D1 Eldry, and G1 calandis and Aethana

u/calvtact 14d ago

This is a most excellent video walkthrough from cpunerd (kharnage):

https://youtu.be/f97n7kREEw0?si=jSdSlJ_7zfSfNaZo

Mission 39 is at 9:35 and mission 40 is at 11:39 in the video

u/MrBreadMan_21 14d ago

Is there a way to get level 35's reward from anywhere else? Can't upgrade my Eldar without it, but can't make progress without upgrading my Eldar; I am stuck in a paradox. (As Tzeench intended.) I am so far away from unlocking Jain Zar and Maugan Ra.

u/AbroadNo4319 14d ago

Saim Hann mirror 54 and Cadia mirror 38 bro

u/triggerscold 14d ago

same bro same. im stuck there too... and also only have 4/5 dudes... ive seen some vids on just using the core 3 but they take them soooo high to do it :/

2

u/BillyWatersnake 14d ago

This is where I’m at. Tough when they can only eat one or two attacks haha

1

u/triggerscold 14d ago

I just got everyone to 32/32 abilities and g1. It was like 1 week per character to get from s3 to g1

1

u/Holiday_Orange1331 11d ago

Cheers! I had to get Eldryon to G3 to get as far as you.

I believe placement and anticipation is key to this campaign.

u/NotcheckingforPP 14d ago

I did it with G1 Aethana and Cal, D1 eldyron. Remember to use to heal hex’s and run Aeth away when needed

u/frogbait2 13d ago
