One additional point: in a vehicle-heavy meta, the 3 lascannons you can pack into a standard infantry platoon is very helpful to maximizing our damage output.

Hi Eric Mumper, I am relatively new to 10.ed. How can i put 3 lascannons in an infantry squad? I use battlescribe for my list but didn't get it. Do you mean 1 squad with 10 men? Or 7 with 1 heavy weapons team?

That third lascannon is from having a platoon command squad attatched.​@@eigengeruch6175

​@eigengeruch6175 you can't, I'm assuming he means a 20 man Infantry Squad blob, who can take 2 lascannons, plus a platoon command squad leading it who can take 1 Lascannon making a total of 3.

That makes sense Thank you

Like you say. 10 points makes a difference when youre running 6+ units of footsloggers. Squatting on an objective gives you a chance of stationary (heavy, born soldiers) with your lascannons for a turn or two

Infantry squads are my jam this edition! I think they work super well thanks to Born Soldiers. I still like DKoK and Catachans for specific roles, and even Cadians are interesting because of sticky objectives. Thanks for all the content!

I'd say the uber popularity of Death Korp Marshall and 20 Kriegers was spurred on by this community alone. Mordian has such an influence on the what the Guard community considers good/bad. All I've seen from most bat reps on this channel is always 3 blobs of krieg with marshall. I'm glad that infantry squad + Marshall is now getting the spotlight. Don't forget Castellans can also join Infantry Squads if you want a damage buff/sneaky run away and shoot ability. Considering that Infantry Squads have captains with power sword/plasma pistol, and they can rock around with lascannons, they are super good. The lascannon is essentially the other special weapon that the Cadians get but way better.

Thanks I forgot the Marshall can run with standard infantry . I also like picture of the Cat terrain you included.

A cheeky Easter egg I decided to add in his videos now! Thanks for watching! :)

I ran 40 infantry with marshals, a mortar team and a chimera at a 500pts tournament recently and I did miss having the d3 back a turn and special weapons. Personally I think they’re a great addition to Krieg but not a replacement

I would like to see you make an Infantry only army. I think that would be pretty kool.

@@reality6910I’ve been running pure infantry since 7th. Mordian is the reason I was able to get my first wins as a wee conscript.

It actually seems like Catachans have become the most meta, with their scout move and bargain price.

Catachan are actually pretty great in melee too. Especially since they buff lord solar and the power fist officer in your command squad!

Cat spotted at 11:02

I really like using these guys in a 20 man brick along with lord solar and a command squad. I give the command squad and infantry mortars and that gives me some nice artillery fire and a durable unit to protect my commander. The mortar team in the squad can also be very nice for putting out fields of fire onto units and it works even better with creed nearby to give it to them for free and also order some field ordnance battery’s to make a pretty decent artillery unit.

Also important to note the heavy weapon teams can do well to support the main anti tank in your army 4 blobs of 20=8 laz canons. Granted they are hitting on a 5up but once you get grounded on the objective you tell your men to take cover and start dishing out fire power. Note this should never be your main anti tank just a supporting hand.

My classic and fluffy playstyle is having my faith rewarded huge squads marching with banners and alkinds :)

Wonder how to make Cadians work as their objective ability is cool maybe something with Chimeras or a stormlord

What I’ve been thinking is just a cheap, 10x squad for claiming objectives, maybe with a castellan to movemovemove them and advance them onto midfields so the rest of your stuff can advance. Enemy has to choose between shooting your more dangerous Death Korps squads or killing your Sticky objective guys.

@callumjohnston858

Maybe even a taurox, if you're just using them to move up, stick the objective to you, then move on. Save 10 points, get some extra movement, plus twin-linked autocannons.

Stormlord is a great option bout also consider the Crassus I’m running 2 in a list rn it’s very fun

Awesome video !!!

I want a platoon command squad with DKoK so I can throw a heavy weapons squad into the blob. This is just a punchy blob it doesn’t have the big command stuff on it. It’s be like medi-pack, regimental standard, chainswords on the veterans, heavy weapon team, getting that grim demeanor for the +1 to hit and forget about the heavy rule and then into +1 to wound for better anti-elite/armor depending on the weapon team.

ironically succesfull tournament list seems to rely on minimum amount of catachans due to scout and being cheaper

I've been enjoying infantry squads with lascannons since they've been free

So one more damage mitigation that was forgot was the primaris psyker... when you get shot at on a 2+ roll you can activate a 4+ invul which stops you from getting to the FnP which could be multiple damage per shot... youd still need to figure out how to get orders to the squad but often a 3+ save becomes a 4+ anyway with all the ap in the game

I am a Krieg enjoyer by all definitions but the Creed + Command Squad + 20 dudes is a mean brick

I want to make my own guard regiment (ogryn and heavy weapons heavy for infantry, sentinel and chimera heavy for vehicles) but I can't think of a unique look for them. Was thinking like a diesel punk feudal guard maybe? They use lots of plasma....

@krimzonhunt7929

The Armageddon Steel Legion as a base design idea with a greater amount of darker orange or dirtied creams, a dull metal for chest plates, and a double coat of Agrax Earthshade or Nuln oil? That should get a grity, dirtied machine worker appearance. Could also trial drab browns and maybe Druchii violet shade to get an oil effect if maybe mixed with a metalic silver? Apply that to gloves, possibly the lower head aroubd the chin, and probably stomach area. Had to quickly look up Diesel Punk but that sounds similar to the Steel Legion aesthetic. As for feudal, maybe paint the weapons in a colour similar to oak, mahogany, or more rainforest climate areas to get that musket feel? Plasma wise, I think a video was recently released on painting Volkite heat sinks for a copper coil look.

It seems like its pretty situational. Sometimes extra cover might cone handy, sometimes krieger DMG output could help to push enemy from the objective, and medi pack can *theoreticaly* add up to 15 bodies thru game (in best possible svenario). I will stick with crieg because i like my units punchy and bringing dead plasma guners back is alao nice. but i see the merit of infantery squad.

Krieg is just best.. most cool.. everything... would run pure krieg just for the looks.

I wanted to use Infantry squads beaus they fit with my home brew regiment. I'm glad they are viable and I don't have to run everything as Cadians.

I tend to use my infantry/command squads to shield my heavy weapons in this edition. Stick them on an objective, and suddenly you've got 2-3 autocannons per unit, plus 2 plasma, all with that sweet 3+. Just let them try and take that objective from me.

Infantry squad at the right conditions can be more durable than Sister of battle squad

Deathkorps can get to hitting on 2s, very few opponents expect it.

i want the missile launcher revolution: remove heavy from missile launchers, give them regular BS. on vehicle mounted missile launchers double the shots. missile launchers are light weight and recoilless, this changes would make them viable.

I keep thinking you’re saying “Juror squad”

Had a crazy guard blob idea a while back and wanted to get some feedback on if it is possible. Not neccessatily viable as having 30 models in a blob is alot, just wanting to know if I've made it correctly. This will be long, so the TL;DR is the last half under the Total heading for combined weapons and abilities. Guard get two leaders per squad but only one can be a command squad. A command squad can take the 3 regimental attache models while a body guard unit such as Nork or an Ogryn can also join to protect the officer model of the squad. That makes 9 in a command squad. Then an additional leader of say a psyker takes the overall addition to 10 models. It didn't appear as though the single leader units could take a body guard though this may be wrong, in which case this can become 11 models? Attach this command squad of 9 and psyker or other leader to a squad of 20 infantry and you now have a 30 model blob. I worked it out with Krieg to get survivabilty and lots of special weapons. Below is the list of weapon options and abilities that I thought would be best on a backline unit. 18 krieg: 2 plasma Rifles 2 sniper 2 grenade/melta/flamer 14 lasgun 2 sergeants: 2 boltgun/plasma pistol 2 power fist Abilities: Medkit = return D3 destroyed models Grim demeanour = +1 to hit if below starting, +1 to wound if below half Platoon command squad: 1 boltgun/plasma pistol 1 powerfist 1 plasma rifle 1 sniper rifle 1 grenade/melta/H-Flamer 4 Las pistol 2 lasgun Abilities: Medkit = feel no pain 6+ Regimental attaches: 3 laslpistol 1 force stave Abilities: +1 for aircraft to hit Blast weapons gain sustained hits Reinforcements not within 12" Ogryn: tough+dakka Psyker: FNP 4+ vs Psychic Invul 4+ Force stave, laspistol, Heavy melt-flamer spell Total: 3 Plasma rifle 3 sniper 3 grenade/melta/flamer 3 plasma pistol + power fist 8 laspistol + 16 lasgun (Krieg only) D3 krieg return (Everyone)29/30 models = +1 hit 14/30 (maybe less with wounds) = +1 wound FNP 6+, 4+ vs Psychic 4+ invul Blast gains sustained hits Any orders given.

You dont get to call them enduro guard because of one ability they already come with. Thats false advertising bro. At least throw a psyker on or something lol
