TiguriusX Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I clawed and scratched my way up the rankings and finished 19th overall to wrap up 9th edition SW were real good with uncapped codex warfare and then the appearance of desolation marines. I was alternate #2 and gor my ticket to the top 16 invitational. 10th is a whole different beast of a game...I have about 5 matches under my belt so far. We are now a mid tier faction. However i am staying true and brought an underdog SW army to the event. Round 1 i face GSC...i actually have a punchers chance to advance https://www.tts40k.com/invitational jpwyrm, Prot, QuarterPounder and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been mirroring your last one of 9th with my Raven Guard and had great success. Have you considered using the double-tap combo of Impulsor with Eliminators? I know it probably won't last long, but it looks like it could be effective while it last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apokalypsi Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm guessing 2 squads in the Impulsor that has Firing Deck 6. So 6 Las Fusils or Snipers from the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yes that's the gist of it. The Eliminators get out or are already out of the Impulsor at the begining of the shooting phase. They shoot, fade 6" because of the sergeant's carbine and hop in the Impulsor. Then the Impulsor shoots and because of the way Firing Deck is worded, it can now shoot with 6 weapons from the embarked squad(s) on top of it's own weapon. Basically, you can shoot twice with the Eliminators with said combo. Until it gets FAQed of course.

Apokalypsi Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 That's a pretty sweet combo. Do you run them with snipers or fusils? I was gonna run Long Fangs in the Impulsor and have a gunboat, but then I realized Impulsors have a ride height minimum apparently and firstborn are too short.

TiguriusX Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Victory against the GSC hordes has been achieved Clocking out a GSC opponent is likely outcome with all the models and stuff they need to move around I dedicate that win to Brand and named my invictor after him If anyone has questions let me know Karhedron, Rune Priest Jbickb, jpwyrm and 1 other 1 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Solid Work Tigurius! You got a win against the current Boogey Man, nice job. I'll watch the game and come back with questions I'm sure, but in the meantime : Did the Inceptors helped to prevent GSC from respawning at all or did you use them to score objectives only? Given the choice, would you prefer to have two Invictor instead of one and an Ironclad? Did you felt the lack of dedicated assault unit in your list?

Given the choice, would you prefer to have two Invictor instead of one and an Ironclad? Did you felt the lack of dedicated assault unit in your list? The inceptors gave me the option to threaten his respawn tokens and strongly impacted his game decisions He literally spawned them in the corner far away from me and I was perfectly fine with that I used the bolter inceptors for tactical missions and to try and mess with his primary scoring instead of chasing tokens The plasma inceptors were assigned to anti aberrant duty. He won the roll to deploy first so I had to plant them as a rapid response if he pushed out If I won the roll they would have gone into reserve I don't think 2 invictors work...too expensive and not enough terrain to help both of them I took 1 because I love the option to apply pressure if I get 1st turn (i am a phobos wolf lord...that was my style in 9th with infiltrators giving me a strong advantage if I got 1st turn) With invictor scout of 8 + 8+d6 advance and 2d6 charge I have 16+3d6 to go 24 inches...I can threaten a charge across no mans land if a tempting target exists and I get 1st turn Other maps the scout move lets me take a really strong defensive position and deny an objective or good hiding spot If I had won first deployment and/or first turn (and he redeployed his aberrants away) this is what I had planned...I was going to push as hard as possible deep into his lines I was not expecting to lose BOTH deployment/first turn rolls and it threw me off to start the game My army has a decent amount of assault...they are just slow and you didn't see me use it much this game The invictor + bjorn + ironclad can hit hard My goal is never to reach enemy DZ I want to take midfield and dominate it when possible Other games I want to hide and be sneaky with lone operative units out of LOS doing my midfield scoring Starlight_Wolf and jpwyrm 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looked like you were taken aback by the deployement and 1st turn roll, but you recovered well enough. I like the general plan and the fact you are making good use of Scouts. It just stinks that they're going away soon, I really like to play scouts as a Raptor. Next game looks like it will be very hard indeed, I wish you all the luck you can get.

I laughed when I realized I still had like 7/10 scouts alive at the end I 100% expected them die instantly when I deployed them Gonna have to replace them with more infiltrators + librarian now Immune to shooting is a key combo I rely to score with my cagey style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 How about Eliminators? The move-shoot-move combo with Lone Operative looks interesting. I want to try two of these with Shrike and the Callidus as the Immune to shooting part of my list. It looks like they could have some potential.

Invictor should have been dropped onnleft side to hunt his damn spectres and own his dz objective i should have tactical doctrine and fallen back iron clad then wiped wraith with bjorn + lancers Letting them live cost me the damn WW which was needed for end game I was the underdog and had odds stacked against me. I had a chance but it slipped through my fingers. I recognize my failing and will be sure to correct it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
