It's almost 5 AM
so it's most likely my brother
Can confirm it was my brother
Go to sleep squiddles
No u
I tried going back to 40K recently
apparently Guard went from weak to amazinggood
Too bad it turns out thats only when your 'guard' army is cheap infantry filler for Marines and Marineier Marines. Too bad Chimeras are dead. Too bad Veterans are dead. Too bad Leman Russ are dead.
@Blood Rose It's why I build dedicated armies that self sustain themselves
My only personal army is an AdMech army that's small but self sustaining. They can out Tau the Tau in some cases with just ranged ability, but the other army I've built with a friend was a Blood Angels army. They never really directly planned on playing with it (she had more fun painting than anything which is understandable), but I made sure to help her build it up to the point where it would sustain itself in a game
You see I did the same, with my Guard army, only to be shafted with the edition change.
You sound like you have some cool stuff though, care to share?
Guard is reasonably strong, with vehicles having been all around buffed, and templates being nerfed
@Blood Rose the ufck you on about
Leman RUss are amazing
you just ain't playing em right clearly
guard are born to die so thats fine
Vets aren't that great sadly unless you load em with melta bombs and stick em in a chimera
then use grenadiers and delete any vehicles close by
I run a 2k armoured company list that deletes most other 2k lists bar my mates dreadspam and the tau armyt
>Russ are great
>2 dice pick the highest, thats your number of shots, then roll to hit, usually halving the number, then roll to wound
>Average 1.3 wounds from a small howitzer
and they're hitting on 3s
that was twos before they nerfed the sabre platform strat
it can still be 2s with a salamander but thats not worth the points
Catachans get a buff to random shit weapons too
Before it was a 5" pieplate that still had a chance to hit something even if it missed atrociously
yeah
Before it averaged 4 dead MEQ's, usually getting to 5 or 6
but everyones had that nerf
I've been playing guard since 4th lmao
I'm not having any problems this edition
Sorry if I sound salty, but I remember my old metal box with a gun
So do I ^)
I run fluffy krieg artillery lists and still win
its about correct use of strategems etc
Yeah, it's not like imperial guard are the only one without pie plates
Things like the vindicator have been nerfed to the point of uselessness
The metas in various armies changed, Leman Russ is still a workhorse, it's not not used exactly the same way it used to be
exactly
imo
the baneblade got buffed
