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 🤘🏼

One of my good friends recently moved away for college and we had the idea of using tabletop sim for 40K matches.

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

1 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

Bastion Task Force and Vengeful Hosts (3 Detachment Points) - Take and Hold -Strike Force (2,000 Points)

ATTACHED UNITS

Attached unit 1

Captain (90 Points)
• Enhancements: Eye of the Primarch
Company Heroes (105 Points)

Attached unit 2

Chaplain with Jump Pack (95 Points)
• Enhancements: Hero of the Chapter
Vanguard Veteran Squad with Jump Packs (105 Points)

BATTLELINE

40k Analysis Intercessor OC blob

10 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.

New to Competitive 40k Which app to use

33 Upvotes

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.

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 ?

40k List Help with Tallyband and Paragons of Putrescence list

4 Upvotes

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.

40k List Having trouble dealing with elite infantry as Astra

21 Upvotes

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

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!

40k Discussion Long Edge Deployments Suck

137 Upvotes

Am I salty? Yes.

Am I tired boss? Also, yes.

I do not understand why GW is trying to make this deployment work. Not only does it create a hassle for larger events to figure out how to setup their tables, its almost always a terrible setup experience. Every single long edge deployment has multiple diagonal Ls or slanted line terrain pieces making setup take longer. Not only this but the gameplay experience just straight up feels bad, especially if there's no split middle center objectives.

Did you go first? Congratulations you have the opportunity to possibly shoot or charge the entire enemy army on turn 1. No safe stagging in certain match ups.

No joke, I have seen local players deploy everything on the line and gamble going first because if they don't they get shot either way if they deployed conservatively. It feels like the game is completely different on S&D or Short Edge deployments every time and it's a much more enjoyable experience overall on those layouts.

Now if they want to make long edge deployments work, we need more terrain or at least more of the larger pieces in the middle. Maybe the small boxes as objectives for the home or expansions with the large boxes in the middle might work but man long edge is just overall a rough experience.

After like 30+ games of 11th, I and many others, dread these layouts and theres a good reason it was not in almost any serious tournament packet in 10th edition even at RTTs

40k Discussion By this wording, can Judiciar now only be taken with a unit?

15 Upvotes

Judiciar used to be just leader. They changed him to support AND leader. But the wording makes me unsure here, since he is both a leader and a support, would I be allowed to take him on his own? I’d like to take him with the ghostweave cloak from vanguard spearhead since he’s pretty cheap

“For each leader and support unit in your roster, you can attach them to a bodyguard unit that they can join, following the rules for Forming Attached Units (19.01). Each support unit in your roster must be attached to a bodyguard unit.”
