Thanks! Waaagh flesh base coat, warpstone glow layer, and moot green highlight is a great start but if you want speed, I highly recommend using the army painter Green skin rattle can and doing some spot shading. Saves a ton of time on things like vehicles and looks great when done right

Funny i just got a whirlwind and a desolation squad to lock down my backfield. I play guard and just started sallies. The idea of anyone in my backfield gives me anxiety and if i am going to spend 80 points on screening, i might as well spend 180 and get some damage out of the deal

What do you think about putting Inferno pistols on some or all of the Vanguard Vets for more damage, Strength and AP? With Vulkan (I know you prefer not to run Named characters), you would get rerolls on wounds, despite not getting Dev wounds.
@SalemtheAmateur
4 ай бұрын
Very fun idea, I think my main qualm with it however is that inferno pistols are just such a short range that to be effective with them you basically HAVE to advance even with the speed on vanguard vets which means you aren't charging and for 210 points (295 with character) that's a steep investment for something that may actually end up hindering the versatility of the unit as a whole

Hi really inspiring list (specialy repulsor executioners (i was running regular and they kinda sucked)) I adapted it little bit with 5 sternguards with adrax in impulsor. It has oped deck 6 so you can advance it 12+d6 and shoot all weapons from it plus impusors weapons. And adrax giving veterans reroll wounds is good combination with +1 to wound strat. What do you do when you draw action secondaries?
@SalemtheAmateur
4 ай бұрын
With Adrax, just be sure you're only doing rerolls in melee! Surprisingly, because of the tempo of this list it RARELY struggles with secondaries which does surprise a lot of people. It's aggression, ability to advance and shoot, and ability to create zones of control means it usually has something free to move up and do actions if necessary

Forged in battle does not work with lethal hits, sustained hits or devestating wounds (if it could have changed a wound roll to a 6). As the rules state that it has to be an unmodified roll, and changing a roll in a modification.
@SalemtheAmateur
4 ай бұрын
So I believe this is actually incorrect. Forged in battle specifically changes the roll, true, but it is not a modifier in the sense of a +1 or -1. The actual roll itself just becomes a pure "unmodified" 6 if you will. That being said, I still just recommend using it for saves so it doesn't matter much

@@SalemtheAmateur MODIFIERS Modifiers are rules that change a numerical value from one value to another. This can include the result of a dice roll, the characteristics of a model, and more. This section details how to apply modifiers in your games. In all cases: 1. All modifiers are cumulative. 2. If a rule instructs you to change or replace one characteristic with a specified value, change the relevant characteristic to the new value before applying any modifiers that apply from other rules (if any) to the new value. 3. You must then apply division modifiers before applying multiplication modifiers, before applying addition and then subtraction modifiers. 4. Round any fractions up after applying all modifiers.

Inceptors are a solid choice in my opinion, as to outperforming, its hard to say because the two units have VERY different roles on my battlefield. Inceptors are great for backline or deepstrike centric secondaries while vanguard are a block great for stealing midfield objectives and pouncing on weak flank opponents

I think it’s better to use the Veletarii in an offensive role and keep some tercios back for defence. The Veletarii don’t need orders from a HQ unit (no chain of command), so are more flexible and reliable on the attack, and Rend means they can actually take on troops in defensive positions. The tercios might not be good at counter-charges, but if you can find a building near an objective they can hunker down and wait for the enemy to come to then. Their Line ability means they’ll need to be seriously outnumbered before losing control.
@SalemtheAmateur

Ogryns and Veletarii are so cheap and fairly numerous per box that I still think having a few (say 4) stands in a backfield unit to shoo away assault marines or teleporting terminators is still a good idea. Having bigger blocks of either to push the midfield is still a must though!
