Tokugawa Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 9th blast weapons just straightly murder 11+ models infantry units(if it don't called Lucius robemen). It is boring that big crusader squad fans can't have test against ork 18 buggies now(faq restricted max 3 buggies each type).

Tiger9gamer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 yea, the dude pulled off a few combos with his watch master and doctrine stuff too. It was not a good ideas putting them in the open like that but considering it wasn't a good game over all It just made it worse (the guy wouldn't stop arguing and talking over me, even as I got a rules channel involved on the discord I was a part of)the crusader squad felt so exposed without a transport too. and considering my thread about mechanized firstborn, footslogging primaris is a big change from my rhino rush days. I did plan on putting psalm of protection on them but the opponent went first and hit them before that. So, I was wondering if it is worth taking an apothecary for that squad in place of a rhino BLACK BLŒ FLY 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364086-the-big-9th-edition-room/page/87/#findComment-5763929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalSeer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 20 dudes only works if supported. One 20 man block means all anti MEQ stuff has a convenient target. 45-60 bodies with mini-transhuman and 5++ with optional defensive buffs has potential to really disrupt. That said, anything in the open will likely die. Guns work like that. Mech sounds fun, but prices are really high. Repulsor is 300+ points, and impulsor cap at 6 infantry. It seems like you're really limiting yourself to get a ride.

Tokugawa Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Impulsors are never designed as "to transport most of your main force". In all the successful 9th tournaments record of other chapters, when they use an impulsor, it carry a small unit(e.g. 3 or 4 BGV), move forward to an objective, then hold it until death.

CrystalSeer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Agreed. Problem is that they're the only primaris transport at less than 300.

I mean when you put it like that I feel dumb xD and it was only 10 dudes, which I guess is part of the problem. it was only 1k points, so I expected them to survive past one turn. I made a vew casual lists with all impulsors containing assault intercessors and, while fun, my wallet cries in agony for me even considering it...

Brother Christopher Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Could someone more attuned to the nuances of the game explain to me why Primaris Initiates/Neophytes are 19/16 points and Firstborn Initiates/Neophytes are 18/13 points?

As soon as you get touched in melee, you're tarpitted and then GG. Might consider swapping out one squad of Inceptors for Aggressors. Also, this might work better as a Combat Patrol detachment. Heavy Intercessors generally just aren't getting much bang for their buck, so having to dump 450 pts in 3 squads is a little painful. So only having to do 1 or 2 units instead of 3 would free up room for more Aggressors/inceptors/eradicators.

Even then you could just have Intercessors or Assault Intercessors instead of firstborn. A much better pick than classic crusaders with no upgrades for only 5-10 points more.

I love that item and adds some good punch to the squad) Edited November 17, 2021 by Tiger9gamer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364086-the-big-9th-edition-room/page/87/#findComment-5764997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Art of War ranked BT as A Tier ! https://youtu.be/xrkMF9BHVAs I think it's important to note that meta rankings aren't static. The drop to Admech and drukhari, rise of nids, and grey knights being left alone are factors in determining if BT are "good" in the meta. BT have a strong defense to mortal wounds, can tech into more durability to offset quality weapons, and can control the board pretty fast with grimaldus advance buff, deepstrike out of Tannhauser, impulsors and van vets. But the tech being brought isn't really tooled to fight marine infantry mass right now, which is why BT are in a good spot. I like it! even has the (apparantly) maligned bladeguard vet squad! Though does it have an impulsor? I malign Bladeguard very contextually. This list using them as the center brick unit, with terminators and vanguard as the disruption elements. It also isn't packaging a ton of assassination points with them and tossing them up the board with partial buff coverage lol.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I don’t see VV as being auto include anymore - actually those points are prolly better served elsewhere.

Tiger9gamer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 while not going that far, I can see myself possibly bringing a full squad of aggressors with bolters. longer range, can run and gun with a stratagem, combos well with a chapter master giving them re-rolls while still being something you don't want punching you. Could easily do the flamer aggressors too, though for some reason I like the guns more as an aesthetic. Give them an apothecary behind them and they could be golden!Still, there is nothing like a vanguard vet sergeant rocking up with the fist of belthas...

SkimaskMohawk Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I don’t see VV as being auto include anymore - actually those points are prolly better served elsewhere. I wouldn't call them auto-include, but they are a very strong tech choice. Lightning claws for horde/chip damage, or thunderhammers/fists for spike damage. They can react fast on the table, or reliably charge out of DS from the bike chaplain. Roach's list probably uses them as more of a spike damage out of DS, since people usually like the apothecary to revive tanking champions if they use them in that way.

Charlo Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 BT take 1st at a GT :) List using... CRUSADERS! https://www.goonhammer.com/competitive-innovations-in-9th-liminal-state/ A really cool list, utilizing standard space marine good units (dreads, vanguard) with the added pressure that an unkillable Biker Chaplain and speedy squads of Crusaders bring. Loads of cool tricks in the breakdown too.
