Blade of Sigismund Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I just read through the season updates for secondaries and am having some thoughts; would appreciate input for perspective. - our chapter secondary is more complex than I usually like, but the end game portion is usually simple and gives 5 points. That means you only have to get the grind eq 2x to get 13 points. 3x to max. I compare that to oaths, where unless you completely own the center of the table the whole game, you're looking at 8-10. - Space Marine secondaries are still all reliant on enemy interaction except for oaths. This continues the problem of competing against passive secondaries from last season. - Shock assault has the same problem where it's dependent on aggressive enemy positioning. - I'm thinking that building with big units and recently reduced vehicles may make a good synergy between 'carry out your vows' and 'grind them down'. Then you're just picking between killing characters and killing big stuff.

Acebaur Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Marshal Laeroth and I just recorded a video on secondaries actually! We'll be posting it soon, but I'm thinking that SM have a lot more options now both because of the secondary changes and the points drops allowing for more options in our lists. Shock Tactics and Oaths are going to be staples I think. If you aren't scoring Shock tactics because you don't have any objectives to take back then you are probably already winning the game!

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Raise Banners is a great choice for the third secondary.

That is a remarkably good point, I may have to re-evaluate this secondary.

Blade of Sigismund Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 I run in to issues with shock tactics when an opponent remains in their deployment zone or takes a heavy flank. It's usually not a good choice for the long game to overcommit on a well held position t1-2.
