Denying opponent primary scoring is not as easy as it was in 10th edition I now believe 4x5 GHs using veterans detachment is powerful and likely a must take for us as a faction 4 turns of 15 OC who can advance/fallback and still perform an action (never shooting though...keep hidden) GHs are how we control/contest the central objective GHs should perform well in any force disposition except purge by helping in the middle and being action monkeys wirh mobility That leaves you flexibility to fill in the remainder of your army and detachment/disposition as you please Can't wait to see armies and battle recaps being shared from you all I should be having my first learn to play 11th games down our club this weekend. Initial plan is running 30 GH, just as I have the models and theyre deserving a run out. Going to use the first 20 to split into 4x5 and then use 1 squad of 10 with the battle leader and shooty enhancement as a late game ingress option. Not sure the 10 is worth it but I had success with them last edition as a late game reserve once the battlefield is cleared a bit. Fillin out the rest of the list with headtakers, 2x scouts and maybe even a bloodclaw unit to have some early adv+charge threat....but definately wary that sending anything up early is going to probably end up with them dead haha.

Karhedron Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Just noticed that Divergent Chapters get Repulsor Executioners 10 points cheaper than vanilla marines (230 vs 240). In the case of Blood Angels, it is to balance that they pay extra for melee specialists like Assault Intercessors and BGVs. So does this mean that we are paying a premium somewhere else for some codex units?

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 It's possible we are I haven't noticed any thing being more expensive for us though. Granted we weren't exactly setting the world on fire either. I also just noticed that Intercessers get a 10-point discount for squads of ten . Really hoping @TiguriusX is right that the detachment is good cause they shouldn't be 15 points cheaper than grey hunters. I just want grey hunters to be good lol.

That discount doesnt bother me bc I dont see the purpose in taking 10 Intercessors for most SM lists (DA with Azrael leading sometimes does it) The value comes from being cheap 5 man MSU who have useful shooting and sticky And unless there is a rule I dont know you cant split a 10 man Intercessor into two 5 man squads as needed. With 10 GHs and the veteran detachment we get to split them into two separate 5 man 15 OC MSU squads who can advance and do actions Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387884-11th-edition-sw-info/page/4/#findComment-6176249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I'm pretty ok with most of our points. Not the greatest things i've ever seen but nice to see wolf scouts down a bit and at least cheaper options on some things if you leave the shields at home (although you still probably take shields 9/10 times so they stay about the same) time to brew some lists. If purge ends up the defacto go to meta disposition I am second guessing msu disruption lists but idk, will just have to see how the dice roll Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387884-11th-edition-sw-info/page/4/#findComment-6176265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 5 hours ago, Karhedron said: Probably to account for the fact that you still only get one special melee weapon the Serg, even in a 10-man squad. Right but I can only take one special weapon in grey hunter squad. In fairness I felt that sticky was a lot better than OC3 in 10th, and I'd rather have ranged AP-1 than melee AP-1, so I just view intercessors as the better unit. The re-roll wound ability when an enemy is in an objective and with how important hidden feels that may change. Tigurius is right though that even with the discount most people wouldn't take 10-man intercessor squads. It just frustrates me because I don't see a gameplay reason to take grey hunters unless I take a certain detachment. Technically that's an improvement because I couldn't justify the 10-man squad with any of the detachment options we've had to this point, but it doesn't feel good. I'll drop it for a while to see how things shake out, I just needed to vent when I saw it. I just want grey hunters to make sense in most forces not in just in specific ones.

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I got two games in yesterday, both against Chaos, I went 1-1. The app does have the tactical secondaries on it, and a way to draw random cards which was a nice surprise. I ordered the cards, and I still think I'll prefer them because they'll be right in front of me. You do have to manually update the app, and you and your opponent can enter different vp totals which is kind of annoying. It also seemed to log me out a fair a bit, but I was using the free version and there probably were a ton of people playing. I tried both the take & hold and the disruption mission against purge. I had logan with a squad of 5 WGTs and really think going up to 15-20 termies might make sense if you're going take & hold (I only have 5, but I was already planning on getting more once I finish painting my new stuff). Disruption felt rough though, granted my secondary draws were meh.. My wolf scouts had rough games, but I felt like I had to get something on the center of the table ASAP, and they were my best option. Purge just puts you on a clock, I really don't mind the urgency but it wouldn't shock me if it gets tuned down a bit.. I'm going to try Bastion next, but it'll probably be a couple of weeks.

TiguriusX Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I tested a Take/Hold 30 terminator list...the idea was durable and tons of OC I was 1st company task force + Legends of Saga Used assault terminators + Thirst for Glory (OC+1) Attached an ancient in terminator armor to them (OC+1) I had OC3 terminators...with 1st company task force I could sticky and do -1 dmg if I got charged None of that mattered...I still ended up losing terminators in droves and was basically tabled by turn 3 in my test game Without guns to scare my opponent away I was just target practice. Felt like I was a punching bag and waiting for things to happen to me...hated the entire experience Going back to my headhunter task force + legends of saga test list (priority assets disposition).

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 23 hours ago, Kassill said: So terminators die just as fast in 11th as 10th? cool cool cool I actually think that termies are more durable now, but the game changed enough that it won't feel like it. Not having a max hand size for secondary objectives has a large impact on how we play. When you had a max hand size it really gave the secondaries a sense of urgency, and you basically had to pre-position to score ASAP to keep up. Now you can react to the cards more deliberately and the focus is on the primary missions. That means you're going to have more units interacting with each other so the volume of threats will be higher because units won't be as spread out. I'm pretty excited that the smaller squads are working for TiguriusX because that feels like how termies should play. Bully their small stuff and force them to commit their heavy hitters. Having to balance the termies with the deterrents is more fun than running 3 10-man stat check units.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 That’s the rub. Darn Ventris and ultramarines have a better way of delivering it. I do think your list has a better way of handling anti tank/ monster role. Sternguard would just get wiped after a kill. And it’s a lot of points. Vindicators and the Lancer have redundancy.

Grimtooth Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I had a hunch when I bought an entirely new SW army last summer with the release that there would be some major changes come 11th which is why I am glad I didn’t go all crazy in building out for 10th. I will be magnetizing many more models than previously planned.

At least that's what I've learned from running them in 10th. Yes it's nice when they churn out 18+ MW on a target but you don't always need that much damage to clear their target. The exception to this would be when hunting bigger targets like Knights or if the target has any kind of Feel no Pain.

Apokalypsi Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM Just had a 1000pt game against Orks. He was running 2 big squads of boyz, meganobz, and commandos with characters mixed into each unit. I used Beastslayer running some TWC, Inceptors, Bjorn, Wolf Scouts, and a few other things. All min squad sizes. I was doing purge and he was doing priority asset. @TiguriusX was right that Purge definitely has a hard time keeping up with points. I was able to delete the commandos, but nothing else. I only had a squad of intercessors at the end. Game went full turns and ended 52-94 Orks victory. Having only 2 detachment points definitely made a difference I feel. I could either take no support detachment or two and only have detachment rules for a couple units. It also reminded me why I dislike 1000pt games because marines always feel underwhelming. The only reason we did was because of time. As far as the rules, I'm enjoying the changes, especially melee.

JPIs don't have the same durability as Terminators for sure but even then I'm not sure the Big Boys can withstand such pressure. Have you faced that Purge list yet with your Wolfy Headhunters?
