SadisticFurvy Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Going up against Ultramarines in a game with my neighbour during this isolation, here's what's I'm rolling with. Figured to the run all the Russ down one flank, with the astropaths in support, to dominate the flank and fire up the board from there, there's only so much T8 people can handle. The guard can hold back field objectives and run forth where required, with the manticores backing them up from the safest deployment space (harker will go wit the manticores) The scions will be a travelling castle surrounding the tempester prime for the invun and reroll bubble. I plan to deploy them around the centre, with the Russ on their flank. The +ap for the lLamden Lions looks awesome. The melt will go into deep strike. Am aware I'll lose a flank by turn 2-3 as 30-40 guardsmen can only last so long but am hoping the Russ will be in a good position to provide support fire by then. What you folks think?

HallofStovokor Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Doesn't look bad. Remember that the only way to get 2 Aces is to forgo a warlord trait and to spend 1 CP on a second tank ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadisticFurvy Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Would you say tank ace upgunned on a Russ is worth forgoing the warlord trait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Would you say tank ace upgunned on a Russ is worth forgoing the warlord trait? That really depends on personal preference. Most guard warlord traits are okay, but nothing special. The exceptions are old grudges and grand strategist. I personally think that having an AP-3 hammer of sunderance and a Flat 3 damage basilisk is worth losing the warlord trait. You might not feel that way, and that's perfectly valid.
