That’s exactly what I was thinking 

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Turns out opponent cheated whether intentional or not idk, but he brought in reserves T1, on a mission that apparently doesn’t allow it

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

No pictures today, but had a fun game. Found someone who was willing to play a list with 2 baneblade variants.

 

things were rough before even deploying, forgot my dice and my tape.

forgot my ogryn and bullgryn, but had enough random extra minis to proxy them.

 

my demo armed TC failed to kill his scout squad on an objective for 2 turns, only got one of them.

T3 used it to focus down his vehicles.

 

by the end of it he killed both blade variants, wiped my bullgryn, ogryn squads, and my exterminator.

i charged his jump intercessors, that infantry squad suicided, but it was fun.

 

i killed a razor back, landraider, repulsor, 5 aggressors, 2 BGVs, and (eventually) all of the scouts, his combi-LT, and lady assassin.

 

he won by 2-3 points, so his scouts pretty much single handedly won the game because of my :cuss:ty roles lol.

That is a great looking Guard army, the Stormlord is my favourite variany so good choice there! I also like those tables you play on.

The tables are store tables, but I’m considering bringing my homemade terrain in some time because I am so tired of everything being boring ruins, and maybe some shipping containers here and there lol.

 

the stormlord has done pretty well for me, it’s great for creating a mobile deathstar unit.

put your HWS of choice, Kasrkin w/ castellan, ogryn, and bullgryn into it and drop off the big boys/elites and then the HWS can sit in the SL and shoot or hop out and provide a really good overwatch threat.

Armored company got some reinforcements 

 

Vanquisher “Terra’s Rage”

[calgar101]

Haha yeah some times you got to shake things up a little I guess.

I haven't played in years, back in the days of 5th-7th I'd play a lot of Apocalypse and I'd run a few Stormlords, full with guard to shoot out of.

I like the Vanquisher.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

 

played primaries only.

set up and was really hoping for first turn. Did not get it.

 

called it at the end of T4, I was up by 1 but it was obvious by the end of the game I’d be down by 1

The repulsor got lucky with something like 8 or more 6+ saves in two rounds back to back.

Governor’s Guard (engineers)

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Wow I hadn’t realized yesterday’s update was the first in 7 months. Damn.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Two squads of the Governor’s Guard (engineers) with a bomb drone and a bomb dog.

 

Not 100% done but at least good enough to play with for now.

[The Pounder]

Great “counts as” units. I’ve always had a soft spot for Arbites!

 

The idea of the bomb dog made me smile!

The dog and floating drone was another selling point for the unit as well lol.

Killed a demon prince T1 and angron T2, bullgryn got 3 8bound  and nearly lord invocatus in T3 but angron returned T4 and that was the end of it.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Holy schnikes my list was like 275 points cheaper today lol.

 

added a squad of engineers and 3 Catachan HWSes

 

Edit

that’s partially because it removed my 2 infantry squads lol.

and took out two Catachan HWSes so I could afford some enhancements and more engineers.

I like the list a lot but I'm not sure Mechanized Assault is the right detachment for it. You've only got four transports, which limits how much you're benefiting from its admittedly powerful rule. Combine Arms might be a better detachment for you.

Combine regiment being the same as born soldiers, I’ve been rather unimpressed with it.

bewteen being able to advance and disembark, as well as a unit getting stealth, on top of the detachment rule I think I should get plenty of use out of the detachment for now.

[DemonGSides]

Yeah I think combined or even siege might be slightly better, tho you may be leaning on strategems, in which case maybe recon makes more sense.

 

Either way, I'm personally off of HWS's as I think they're pretty bad even for their relatively cheap cost: Catachans you can make a case for Lascannon HWS, but Cadian HWS just kinda meh.  Better Overwatch is nice, but means you've gotta keep them out in the open and that's a rough ask when they fold like paper.

I have considered recon, but the wording of the detachment rule is weirdly worded to me.

 

do they get +2 to save if in cover?

 

why do you say you have to keep CHWS in the open to use their ability?

I keep them in cover in my DZ, to overwatch any deep strikers, or anyone threatening my DZ from the front.

Because no one is deep striking in something that a lascannon cares about, and you've got enough stuff that even something like a monolith that does end up deep striking probably won't be able to fit anywhere left.

 

Recon increases their save; benefit of Cover just lowers incoming AP by 1, so there's no place for a doubling up to happen. They would effectively be doubling up the same way that we can make heavy and Take Aim double up; theyre technically modifying two different things so they can layer. So, no, it doesn't TECHNICALLY double up the AP protection, as it also lets you benefit if there's just -1 AP coming in.

 

With the amount of infantry bodies you have, it might be a worthwhile consideration. Might need to verify the strats make sense for your game plan tho, as it's a lot of weird ones.
