Thanks for the kind words Kyle. Really enjoyed our game and came down to the wire which is always how the best games go! Congrats on the win.

What a masterclass ! Well done Kyle !

Genius! Great idea! Will be using that in future!

Congrats on the win dude!

I'm totally going to try this list this weekend! One small nit 46:50 First to the Fray is the enhancement that lets that unit Deepstrike Turn 1. Excellent video!

That's a very fun piece of tech! and agree that you still have to play it well. Honestly havent been having fun with how tau has been playing in 10th but movement shenanigans' like this make playing much more interesting.

I know most people are down on them, but the homing beacon + overwatch + starflare could work really well with flamer starscythe units as well depending on matchup. 6d6 flamer hits + commander’s firepower could be nasty

I used a flamer unit without a commander to delete a 10 man necrons warriors unit and left the lord on 1 wound. Tanked shocked and completely took objective.

Do you find you have to specifically play to not score as hard as your opponent until turn 3 so that you can pick the secret mission, or is the lower board presence in the early game with Ret. cadre enough to lean the game that way already? I've only played one half-game with the new .5 edition so far, and we weren't really trying out the new secret missions yet.

Very nice to see.

Last I checked the marker drone still does nothing for strike teams since they already have the marker light keyword, and the gun drone makes them eligible to shoot so they can still observe after advancing. Am I missing a dataslate change?

Sorry, I might miss some thing but how at 1:01:26 the commander can rapid ingress there ? I know it form steath suits's homing beacon abilities but how it can come in on first battle round ?

@@kachentepmeethong8718 due to the Starfire ignition system from the enhancement given to the Commander. This lets him pick this unit up during the end of his opponents fight phase and place it back down on turn 1 since it originally started on the board. The deep strike and strat reserve rules on placing them down on turn 1 only affect models that started off the board.

I play the same strategy with the fireknife team+ enforcer, but equiped with full plasmas and gun drones. 10 S9 plasma shots rerolling + 10 S6 drone shots rerolling to hit and wound.

I have been playing ret since the codex was out. I love to rapid ingress and OW, specially with flamers + commander with prototype weapon. It's the whole reason why i always have one or two flamer starscythe units, it's like having your own strike first unit.

💥💥💥

Question, how are the fire knife team that came in from rapid ingress able to reroll hits in overwatch? Doesn’t rules commentary on “out-of-phase rules” say you cannot trigger any rules when moving,shooting,charge,etc. that normally trigger. it even specifically gives the example of firing overwatch.

@zackstall

6 күн бұрын

The commentary specifically says "When using out-of-phase rules to perform an action as if it were one of your phases, you cannot use any other rules that are normally triggered in that phase." Meaning that the rules which are excluded are the ones that as "in your shooting phase" or "in your fight phase" or "in your movement phase" etc. but since the fireknife rule simply states "each time a model in this unit makes an attack..." it doesn't specify it happens only in the controlling player's shooting phase and is therefore allowed during overwatch.

🎉🎉

See my only question is why not use the flamer unit instead

The whole oval base pivot mechanic to make charges shorter doesn't work. GW defines that an oval base is not circular. So you would take the 2" of movement penalty

@Puretideprogram

7 күн бұрын

Yes that is correct and I was not saying you do not spend the 2" to piviot but measure the long distance of the oval, you pay 2" but you gain around enough to make the charge 1" less

@davidjones4772

The base is 120-90. So the amount gained would be half the 120 (60) minus half the 90 (45) = 15mm. It’s not even close to more than 2 inch. You actually loose 1.4 inch of movement.

I never thought about this and now im kicking myself for not doing god damnit. Great find and application. I will definitely use it on my next game.

I like tau

excuse me for the dumb question, maybe i overlooked the new charge6overwatch rules, but around 1:06:00 why could the fireknife team overwatch, if the eversor assasin simply declares the fire warriors as the target? (edit, i get it, he wasnt targeting the fire warriors on the left, but the guys "ritualling up" the new objective, thus the original target of the charge was targeted by the wall of crisis fireknives))

Read the Overwatch strat it says one unit from your army within 24" can shoot at something the successfully makes the charge but you do it at the starts or ends a normal,advance, fall back or charge move.
