GuardDaddy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I understand that Guard based (with knights) list won Prague Open, anyone able to find these lists? maybe on 'best coast pairing app'? I can't find them online. Of particular interest was the successful use of mobile guard in chimeras - a topic recently discussed on these boards - and I know many would be interested to see them.

Wassa Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 All of the top 5 (apart from the Tau army) use ~50%+ Guard. Some with knights, blood angels, space marine souts.

H311fi5h Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Place 1 is running 5 Tallarn Chimeras with Hawkshroud Knights in support, place 2 is running 6 Tallarn Chimeras with 3 Smash Captains. The trick is uncompromising objective play (remember, this is Maelstrom + Eternal War missions, not ITC) with tons of mobility and well protected objective securing units. The Chimeras and support vehicles kill all the troops, while the Knights/Blood Angels respectively counter any major threat getting close to the advancing wall of steel.

sairence Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm not really a mech infantry player myself, but I'm pretty delighted it's being used succesfully again.

Wassa Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm not really a mech infantry player myself, but I'm pretty delighted it's being used succesfully again. I don't like the fact the transport generally costs more than the contents. But glad it works for some.

GuardDaddy Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 So I guess chimera if popped simply drops troops onto the objective anyway? Constant scoring option and can also tag stuff in close combat?

GuardDaddy Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 For those with tabletop tactics subscriptions they have just released a mechanised guard battle report in their 'on demand' section. Interesting discussion in preshow - it turns out they were at the Prague Open! 2nd Place list (summarised) - as it was also chimera heavy Imperium 2kpts - approx 1500pts Astra Militarum/500pts Blood Angels 3x Battalion Battalion 1 (Astra Militarum) - Tallarn HQ: Company Commander [Warlord] + 2x Primaris Pysker Troops: 3x infantry Squads Transports: 6x Chimera (H Bolter/stubber) Elite: Commissar Heavy: 2x Wyvern Battalion 2 (Astra Militarum) - Catachan HQ: Company Commander + Primaris Pysker Troops: 3x Infantry Squads FA: 3 Hellhounds Battalion 3 (Blood Angels) HQ: 2x smash captain Troops: 3x scouts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354232-prague-open-2019-guard-win-again/#findComment-5266922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm liking the winning list, it's something I could make with my current collection. Well almost I need more chimeras. But like the design.
