GuardDaddy Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This is best I have found to date: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/756135.page#9986322 Guard were used alongside custodes in a number of top lists - at least 2 of the 5 streamed games I think had variants of this list. THey provided the bodies and supporting fire whilst jetbokes scooted around blapping things. I don't know which was the highest placed pure AM list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patchestheclown Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I'm a little surprised that pure guard list got into the top 10. 4 russes, and a shadowsword seem like they would take some lascannons to the face pretty easily and once those go all you have are 30 infantry, 6 bullgryn (who are awesome!) and 9 mortars. I guess all the first turn attention goes on the shadowsword letting your tank commanders lay down some dmg but with only 2 battle cannons I don't see them being able to handle AT without the shadowsword around With the right terrain I guess you could hide most of your tanks to limit turn 1 dmg and then move out and still fire at full effect but I'm not really getting why this worked so well. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris521 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 More than just the fact that it's 4 Russes and a Shadowsword, it's 4 Russes and a shadowsword heavily kitted out which I think a lot of people try to avoid. Do/did they publish which armies they were facing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardDaddy Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I have linked the link above without verifying it by the way. Its just the only info I've found to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkmilkana Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I would assume that 5 T8 models simply was too much for the anti tank of some of his opponents. Also, he has quite a bit of plasma on those russes in case the shadowsword gets taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 My guard did terribly but I was in the special elite pretty terrain club* so won't be on the lists. *aka the narrative event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardDaddy Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Standing back from all the lists the variety is great - my personal takeaway is that this is a sign of a healthy edition of 40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Pure guard came third as well. Catachan brigade list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I know the Colonel from TTT stated that he lost the first two games and won the last four if I remember correctly. He said this on their facebook update. He had 9 Basilisks. Why is Colonel not pronounced Colon-el? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmic66 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I was running 5 Russ, wyverns + shadowsword list and toweling people up. That much t8 is really hard to deal with. Especially when they have the reach to smash your At from across the board. I've transitioned to triple superheavies with batallion in a crassus. Same strength regarding toughness, but can't be bogged in melee. Super cp efficient too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
