Goonhammer Wild Astraeus Testing

[Lemondish]

Here's a super interesting article assessing the value of the Astraeus for the Sons of Dorn: https://www.goonhammer.com/hear-me-out-rob-big-yellow-tank/

 

Has anyone else had any experience with the BIG YELLOW TANK?

And part 2!

Not much changed, aside from the supporting cast. Much of the discussion about how to adjust the list further was about shifting the Primaris captain to a smash cap, but I'm actually a little interested in hearing if the number of stalker Intercessors is actually worth it. Could greater mobility from those squads running rifles or autos be more valuable?

I took 3 squads of stalkerceptors to a tournament this weekend. They’re very, very good. At one point a unit shot 9 wounds off an Eldar plane by itself. Vehicles under T8 are in so much trouble when those D3 ap-3 shots come in. People complained it was like having thunder hammers thrown at you.

Wicked visual - going to replace all my stalker rifle Intercessors with throwing hammers now. 

 

So if T7 and below is handled by line infantry pretty decently, then I imagine the Astraeus would gleefully destroy everything else.
