Respect to you man, you are a legend for posting so many videos in such a short time because of the new edition.

Salamanders not really being able to support these fellas is kinda heartbreaking tbh 🦎🔥🔥

I guess I'm a little worried these'll run into the Paragon Warsuit problem, where they're strong against small arms but just get deleted the moment anything anti-tank looks their way. Assuming the points costs stay in the same ballpark as in 9th, they would at least be losing a lot fewer points per model deleted, but with their slow speed and lack of assault weapons I'm just worried they won't get to do anything. Maybe in transports.

Thinking 5 of these with Iron hands Feirros in a repulsor could be fun. Use repulsor to bring them up fast, use them with the fnp from feirros to defend it from charges, feirros in range or repulsor to fix it.

It's really been frustrating me actually. I think as a base unit the flamestorm ones are *fine*, though the lack of shoots compared to the boltstorm version feels a little lame given those also have better range. But also, they don't work with the army rule (as they're auto-hits + twinlinked), they get limited value from the Biologis because torrent weapons don't roll to hit, neither of the two salamanders charecters can join them and even if they could, it wouldn't matter because their abilities are all based on rerolls, Storm of fire is also useless because they already ignore cover meaing you're getting at most the -1 to AP. The only gimick they have is being good at overwatch, which the infernus squad can also do, with a higher strength at that (though no access to AP). The salamanders stuff in the index has felt very unfocused and as if there was no real synergies to be found unfortunately. You see the same thing with Adrax giving rerolls to wound in melee to his attached unit, but the only melee unit he can attach to are assault intercessors, who's built in special roll is rerolling 1's to wound with full rerolls near objectives! And guess what, Adrax's *other* ability makes you want to be near an objective as it effects enemy OC! It's just all a bit half baked really. (the index in general looks great though!)

1:27 Space Wolves Combat Patrol doesn’t have any Aggressors. Just the Warsuit, Intercessors, Reivers, and Lieutenant.

For aggressors, I don't see the biologis as a damage multiplier, but more as an option to increase their OC from 6 to 15 after they barbecue something after having poured out the front of a redeemer.

Under 9th I used boltstorm aggressors alot but now they feel really pointless. Half the shots and re-roll to wound (TL). Just feels overly nerfed.

Just some general assurance for those asking about other units. Auspex Tactics is a fantastic, reliable channel. You can trust he’ll get to them all in due time!

How will the apothecary’s lethal hits help the flamestorm gauntlets? They don’t even make hit rolls, they auto hit, so they can’t roll 6s to hit for auto wounds

Aggressors + calgar is very strong for advance and charge all game

i never have understood why they locked the grenades to the boltstom only, it sould just be a additional opton outright. as for things, my brother is looking to use them alongside ferrios as he grants his unit FNP 5+ so they could tank some extra hits. me personally a gravis captain and throw them up into melee as blood angels

Im in love with the space marine index. My techmarines and gladiator tanks will rule the world hitting on 2+ with free reroll everything! and throw in some thunderstrikes for +1 to wound as well. Top it all off with invictor warsuits putting carnifexes to shame in every single way!

Aggressors don't feel very good now, although maybe they could be OK if their points are low. Eradicators seem absolutely busted, especially if you combo them with the biologis and give him bolter discipline... Hellblasters also seem possibly a lot better than they used to be. Stick them with an apothecary, get free shots on death, and then bring a model back to life and do it again next turn.

Auspex doing the Lord’s work giving us sites with discounts!

I'm still on the fence about these guys. I love troops that can wade into enemy fire, they just always seemed a bit too hard to use.

8 Ultramarine characters and a unique unit, 8 total characters for the other chapters. This really is the Ultramarines + afterthoughts codex. Feirros doesn't even have the Techmarine tag!

Biggest news (for me) is that terminator captains are sort of hard to kill (relatively speaking) and the "Heavy Bolt Rifle Captain) isnow the standard Gravis Captain, with the fist+sword being a wargear option for the same. Both are good news I think.

I really wanna add these to my crimson fists army, i feel that theyd truly shine due to there bolt weapons and low unit count would pop off against large mobs

you know i really think the bunker have a chance to be great this edition. if you haven't looked at the data sheet it's a very flavorful little thing

In 9th, Boltstorm Aggressors had 2x Boltstorm gauntlets, each with 3 attacks (so 6 attacks per model). In 10th it seems they only have one 'Boltstorm gauntlets' which only has 3 attacks... Even with the wound re-rolls, isn't this a big nerf? Or am I missing something?

The new twin linked rule feels so…dumb… why does having double the weapon count lead to a greater chance of one weapon wounding?

I respectfully disagree that twin linked is a waste in light of the Oath of moment. What it does is allow you to target another unit that is not vulnerable for the turn. They never lose that oath efficiency, and because of that they have freedom when they choose targets.

If aggressors shoot at a unit that is NOT the closest targetable unit, and the models in that unit are in cover with a 3+ armor save, then the aggressors would not get their Close-quarters Firepower. But the target unit doesn't get the benefit of cover from AP 0 weapons in this instance, so their save remains a 3+. If aggressors shot at the same unit, but in was instead the closest targetable unit, then the target unit would get the benefit of cover, which would then be negated by the AP -1 granted by aggressors activated Close-quarters Firepower ability. In this instance the target unit's save also remains a 3+. That took me a second, lol.

Hear me out, Use Uriel Ventris "Master of the Fleet" to deep strike a 6 man unit of Aggressors into the enemies lap. Maybe even with someone like say... Marneus Calgar and his Victrix Honor Guard attached. The points cost is probably prohibitive but I want to see the opponents look of dread.

Gravis armour is my favourite out of all space marine armour, way more than Terminators. My army is full of Gravis armour units now that the Biologis is out. Aggressors are my favourite units in the game. I don’t think Aggressors will see any play unless they’re markedly cheaper than Terminators. The Gravis Captain and the Biologis don’t do *anything* to help them. You’re much better off sticking the Biologis on the Eradicators to make them more kill-y or a Heavy Intercessor squad to really hold an objective, thanks to them getting Duty Eternal when they’re near an objective. Can I also just say that I think it’s incredibly stupid that the Gravis Captain doesn’t have *any* buffs? Sure he can use a stratagem for 0cp which is good but like… he can only be attached to 3 units. Why not give him a buffing ability? To be honest this is a huge blow. The Flamestorm Gauntlets are so much weaker now, thanks to a combination of things. Having a max shots of 30 instead of 60, in a squad of 5, is rough. Sure they can re-roll wound rolls but that’s not really going to help. Now that subfactions are gone and Salamanders don’t have their stratagems, you can’t auto-max the shots and you can’t make them deal Mortal Wounds. The combat doctrines are also just straight up garbage so that doesn’t help either. They still get AP-1 but no Salamander stuff means they don’t get +1 to wound (which, with 60-72 shots, is way better than 30 shots re-rolling the wound rolls) I feel like the only strategy they’ll be seeing play in is sticking them in Land Raiders and running them up the board to get in melee as soon as possible. This is the strategy I’ll be using for sure.
