UPDATE: Its been brought to my attention that you don't technically take control of an objective until the end of a phase/turn, so the 'sticky obj with scouts if opponent goes first' won't work. Sorry for any confusion! (I thought the strategem overwrote that but it clearly says "you control") Let me know if I missed anything else :)

Nice list my fellow Deamonic lord! I'd love to see some changes to the Tzeentch stuff most of all. They're quite underpowered compared to the Nurgle and Khorne units. Quite silly GW didn't change anything in our slate at all... If they are going to lower the cost on weaker units in other armies, they should definitely do it for everyone. Very positive video! Very informative. Keep at it! 😁 If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend the fateskimmer bomb with screamers starting on the table, then take them off and leave them in reserve as a rapid ingress threat! 27w with 14" move and mortals coming in from reserves later in the game is... very scary! It's a nice way around 'you must' arrive back on the board with the stratagem.

Yeah some of Tzeentch & most of Slaanesh really need some love. They don't have the synergies like Khorne & Nurgle can get up to so unlike them they can't "super boost" the lesser profiles. Still, we lucked out most of the army is still usable but it'd be nice to get some more variety in there. Clever combo with Fateskimmer, I always run him solo but have to hide him everywhere so he doesn't just get shot off the board. With a bodyguard that'd be a different ballgame!

I've been having some luck with epidemius attached to the plaguebearer squad. I put them front and center pointing to the middle objective, but toeing on my home objective. The cp rule is secondary to making that squad have a 4+ invuln. Pair that squad with a Nurgle daemon prince on foot (with upgrade) or a GUO with bell. Belakor is a good "all comer" take, but most tournament tables don't have a problem providing LOS blocking terrain. if your local meta has very little or no terrain, Belakor is a mandatory take. Soul grinders should be meta. I've got 3 of them and they always soak up plenty of damage while dealing consistent damage back. I've used denizens of the warp to pull heavily wounded soul grinders to my home objective to heal up and provide deepstrike screening.

You've also convinced me to try and fit some flamers into the list. Just a note regarding Skarbrand.

With belakor you can use the strat to put 2 units in deep strike and then use the 3 inch deep strike for his 6 inch aura of chaos. Now you can bring in a bloodthirster or shalaxi etc 6 inches away.

They're awesome from the cool factor alone so you've got that too hah

I feel like you didn’t discuss the merits of Bloodthirsters enough. Yes they are bigger and more expensive. But the +1 to hit applies to all Khorne units which is great. It means being damaged has no effect or negates -1 to hit enemies. He also has Fly so much harder to screen him. And he’s 50% faster than Skarbrand. And he has Relentless Carnage for mortal triggers. And he can be enhanced to give even more Str and # of attacks. I’ve never had one fail to perform in a game.

You dont lose character buff until you resolve the combat. So even if the skulltaker kills someone giving fnp 5+, the unit still has fnp for the rest of the attacks. Ruoes commentary is clear on this.

Slaanesh is a pretty good choice for Grinders too - x6 S9 AP2 D2 with Sustained + Dev Wounds, makes for a pretty nasty combination vs elites 'n the sort

@fatarchon

2 ай бұрын

So it doesn't have anything to do with cover or the sort but just physically blocking out the opponent from either charging your key units and/or blocking your opponent from getting movement with their own units. Just the other night a squad of Flesh Hounds basically single handidly won me a match when they were able to traffic jam literally like 5 vehicles from getting any movement for a big turn (the board was terrain dense & dude set half of his armor on one flank, I setup a few units of chaff on that side & managed to block them into alleys at then if T2). I didn't charge or anything, I just moved them so they were 1.1" in front of their army & let them sit there to die. So don't be afraid to let them die essentially, they're only 70pt after all! As for 1k, I normally play note casual at that point level but regardless I'd deeefinitely bring a GUO w/enhancement + one of the other Greater Daemons of your choice (prolly LoC tho Skar is amazing too). The last ~400pt or so I'd straight up just fill with Nurglings / Hounds / Flamers and/or Seekers (cheap crap to grab obj). The other way is to bring more killy stuff as 1k is usually more of a tabling match tho it's important to learn the value of scoring Hopefully that helps a bit! I'm happy to answer anything else if I misinterpreted or you're curious about more :)

That's a great question actually! To be upfront at 1k I normally write a more fluffy list as it's usually a more casual style match, but not everyone follows that mantra + there's 1k leagues & the sort out there Your list would be FUN as-is so I see no issues there hah. 1k is tricky as it's usually less about scoring & more about tabling your opponent, so I think you might have the right idea with all the big hitters. I might consider dropping the Prince for a Bloodletter Bomb (letters + bloodmaster), not only would it do more damage but it'd give you great practice with the Daemon playstyle of deepstriking / teleporting around with Strategems Normally I'd probably say consider dropping Belakor but let's be real here, the model is sick & despite all my qualms he'd actually shine pretty well in a smaller game just from how tough he is.

I'd get a GUO on objective ASAP as they should have some trouble getting through his T12.

If you really want a strong 1k list, bring GUO w/the Enhancement. Dude should be invulnerable at that pts level.

Belakor isn't as good for 1k but once you're ready for higher pt games he's a great addition too

I have not yet found an answer to the following Horror related question so maybe some guys here could help me: If a Pink Horror dies you obviously roll for a split into a blue Horror. If the next attack of a unit then kills another one - can you decide if the next pink horror dies or one of the blue ones or do you need to kill all pink horrors because you roll for the blue ones? As the pink horrors are much better I would do it in this order: Pink -> Blue-> Yellow-> Pink etc.

You're talking about 2 separate units shooting at them right? In that case you'd get to choose! If you mean from a single units attacks, you don't roll until they finish all their rolls so you'd only get to pull from whatever models were alive initially. & yes generally you'd kill off the small ones first tho sometimes popping a pink is helpful for the extra movement / screening

Thanks! Man I remember playing 40k 5th edition on Vassal back in the day. Seeing this brought such nostalgia I had to ask what it was. Do you know if they also do Age of Sigmar?

@@j.rivera1974 You can indeed! Pretty sure you can play just about any GW game (well, practically any board or card game ever hah). Should be $10 on Steam, go check out the Workshop page & you can see all the mods!

Where are the fiends

You can't sticky turn 1 off a scout. You don't control the objective until after the start of the command phase so you would have to be going 2nd and have the seekers to survive until your turn 1st turn to get it sticky round 1. "A player will control an objective marker at the end of any phase if their Level of Control over it is greater than their opponent’s. If both players have the same Level of Control over an objective marker, that objective marker is contested. " So no objectives are controlled by anyone until the end of the first command phase, so you can't even sticky your home objective going first turn 1. This is also why all the units that sticky objectives do it at the end of the command phase. fwiw I was doing this wrong for a bit myself until a friend pointed out how it didn't work with the rules currently. Not that it matters much, but Syll'esske giving the buff to daemonettes only makes (already successful wounds) of 5+ into crits. So toughness 8 or higher things are still only getting crit on 6s. That aside, I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for making it. I've also fallen out with Be'lakor and have shifted those points into more efficient daemons. I think I'll have to give the plague drones a go since my list is already jamming Rotigus and a GUO.

A critical wound is always successful, so yes, they wound anything on 5s

@@nacktmuell123 There are plenty of units with rules that say "crit on 5+" without any extra requirements. Syll explicitly requires the wound roll to be successful before it scores a 5+ crit.

dude is probably "getting all those wins" because of rules errors like this. i doubt anyone has ever challenged him calling sticky on t1 but still. not something he should have been gassing up in the video because its obviously wrong.

great point. He is incorrect you can't stick it turn 1 if you go first but you can if you go second because now you control it. still a good unit for the moveblock and 14 inch move

Wouldn't the Strategems wording overwrite all that?. Wait nope, I don't own it at that point. Well crap good save hah WHEN: Start of any Command phase. TARGET: One LEGIONES DAEMONICA unit from your army that is within range of an objective marker **you control.** Interesting! I'll make a sticky comment cause that's an important distinction. FWIW I learned it from someone doing it to me once & just never considered the fact you don't technically own it until the end of that phase. Luckily it still works if you take first turn but yeah that's a big difference. Thank you for bringing that up!!

There's no way a lord of change is popping a tank per turn. That thing is lucky if it does any meaningful danage to a tank in a turn

Hop on TTS & try it for yourself man! So long as you have the Enhancement for S12 it's not at all uncommon to pop a Predator equivalent (esp if you're within range for both weapons and/or use the +1AP strat w/sustain d3). Admittedly I was probably too hype on it so it sounded like it *always* happens but legit it's a little tank shredder! Seriously though give it a shot, obviously lots of variables + dice we're talking about but I've seen it myself plenty of times :) He's my main AT these days

My friend plays demons, not me. He runs lord of chang almost every game. It never comes close to killing a tank. He tried killing a vindicator last night with your strat and did 4 damage. Which is par for the course with it. Also once it comes across anything with a 4++ it's definitely not killing it.

Trippy! UnitCrunch gives a 65% of killing a Predator with just the Enhancement + Sustained d3 & then 85% with +1AP Vindicator is 32% baseline or 57% with the AP. Not shabby at all, either leaves them limping or maybe toss in a rr if it's vital. A Vindicator shooting another Vindicator is "only" a 33% chance! Obviously lots of variable & dice we're talking about but yeah man, I still think it's legit! That said I appreciate your pov regardless, for sure it's going to fall flat from time to time

Dude, friggin Belakor. I keep yo-yo'ing on him lol. I still think he's subpar compared to all the other GDs (esp now with their own auras) but that damn Lone Op bubble is a life saver in some match ups. So yeah, I may not like him but he's still decent 😜

Extremely! That's actually the most common way to run them, just be sure to keep it alive :) I always Deepstrike it as far away from my debuff target as possible & use Realm of Chaos to go back into reserves if I need to
