HOWEVER, if the retreating squad is a badly mauled handful of survivors and you're forced to choose, you're better off ordering a nearby, healthier squad to FRFSRF: One sgt and three guardsmen don't really bring much back to the fight. Because friendly fire is on, you can use this, if you're desperate, to try and detonate your own Hellhound(s). Remember, you can use a custom regiment, such as, Can turn your Tempestor Prime into something like a Creed for your Scions.

For a static Leman Russ, GKoS won't stack, so your best bet for a Russ you're planning on keeping static is an Executioner Plasma Cannon that's going to constantly overcharge, along with a lascannon and a pair of plasma cannons. A codex (often pluralised as codexes by Games Workshop, though the grammatically correct pluralisation is codices), in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame, is a rules supplement containing information concerning a particular army, environment, or worldwide campaign.. Codexes for particular armies were introduced for the second edition of the game. Like the Elysians themselves, Tempestus Scions specialise in covert operations and grav-chute deployment, and Scions will often spearhead assaults, working together to complete their objectives. : Targeted unit may shoot and immediately embark as long as they're within embark range and did not disembark in the movement phase that turn. The army is easy to learn while having a lot of options and tactics being discovered frequently, (Conscript spam is not the most viable option in the Guard army, after all). But the IG are very dependent on synergy, so taking an all-infantry or all tank army is also quite risky! Guardsman life expectancy is short as is, and Elysians even more so, but its a job that needs to be done and glory never dies. Elysian Drop Trooper in an aerial assault, deployed by Grav-Chute and armed with an Accatran Pattern Mark IV Lasgun. Rough Riders benefit from this since they can use their hunting lances only on the charge and any vehicles you may want to charge can use the Crush Them stratagem every turn. Pretty darn solid.

The first approach gives you more "real" units to aerial drop. The Maul is worth discussing, as it is. Shove three squads in a Valkyrie and drop them onto an objective. Alternatively, give shadowsword-senpai some minions! These are your equivalent (but different) of Chapter Tactics, Legion Traits, Forgeworld Dogma, you get the idea. With the Stormlord behind them as fire support there is very little that can survive this. Plus, they can deep strike safely within rapid fire range. Her morale ability is incredibly potent and will absolutely offset any Leadership penalties you might be suffering, so suck it, enemy Psykers and debuffers. Unlike the Mamorph Tuskblade, actually is interesting compared to the Blade of Conquest - taking a model from S3 AP-3 to S5 AP-4 is better than A3->A5 against T4 specifically, but worse against T3 or T5 - but you shouldn't be taking this, since Tallarn is all about running circles around your enemy and staying in a gun-battle. Take a typical mixed-unit army, some infantry and some tanks. During the Tactical Doctrine, all Flamer and Melta weapons gain +1 to their wound rolls.

Baneblade Family: The galaxy's premier super-heavy tank has been lucky this edition, with almost-universal reductions in points, retention of fire points, amazing toughness, and the addition of the Steel Behemoth rule. Another way of looking at it is that in a pure Elysian force this is the cheapest fast attack choice we get. On top of a pair of heavy stubbers, the Vulcan Mega Bolter this thing ships with is. Here's to hoping 9th edition is more balanced as a whole. They just unlock Stratagems, which still cost Command Points to use. They are cheap. If your dudes are going to be sitting in a static gunline, plasma is probably a better choice. The Ultimate Cheapest Brigade: 3 Company Commanders, 6 barebones Scion squads, 3 Commissars, 3 Armoured Sentinels with Multi-lasers, 3 Heavy Weapon Squads with Heavy Bolters. Take the twin heavy flamer option with track guards at 100 points for brawling and making your dedicated transport pull double duty as a poor man's Hellhound, especially if you're running. This is still supposed to be a game to have fun, after all. Point at the nearest Tyranid and say it with me: Keep in mind that you can use the Crush Them! Voila! Assault Baneblade Cannons, anyone? All of a sudden, that Artillery Specialist Detachment with the cover-ignoring relic looks insanely juicy against Raven Guard. Each company is in turn lead by a command section, a Captain and his retinue of specialists and advisers. Auto cannons are either/or as their reduced points cost in Chapter Approved and all around versatility make them useful for gunlines and spammable as HWTs. and FRFSRF will serve you better. The biggest unit size Elysians have are 10 man squads and while it is quite easy to create theoretical scenarios where a commissar would be better as morale buffing char than a commander it will rarely impact the game in practice. Set it up wholly within 6" of your table edge and more than 9" away from enemy models.This would be amazing, but in Matched Play, this does cost reinforcement points. A Baneblade appears to be very survivable but when you factor in the high cost of over 400 points they are actually quite vulnerable for their cost. Ultimately, Heavy Bolters are better against enemies with better saves, and Twin Heavy Stubbers are better against enemies with worse saves. : All of a unit's Rapid Fire weapons (Lasguns, Plasma, and the sergeant's Bolter, if he has one) may target Characters that are in range regardless of whether or not there are closer enemy units. The Elysians come from a verdant world some thirty light years from Armageddon, towards the galactic hub. for the price of 1 CP.

Forgeworld released the Elysian drop troops and the Death Korps of Krieg as army lists in their various Imperial Armour books. Tempestus Scions are an interesting case though, because they can't rapid fire their hot-shot lasguns when they deep strike, and particularly if you're using Vox-Casters, you'll only have 1-4 hot-shot lasguns in the unit, both of which make FRFSRF less than compelling, so think their orders out carefully. That's not to say they can't get the job done, but it will be messy, risks getting you stuck in melee, and is usually not the best use of the units and orders. These orders allow a unit to re-roll dice when attacking (attack volume, to-hit, or to-wound). 15th Elysian Drop Troops Regiment - Yarant II Campaign. Something like a Commissar on the other hand is possible to kill with a few units. If you're spamming aerial drops, this unit is far cheaper than a Veterans squad, making it more efficient for drop-plasma, even after accounting for the Veteran's other benefits, assuming no orders are being handed out to the dropped units; while it is simply worse than a Command Squad, it's also not constrained by Commander count, which Command Squads are and is BS 4+, so Plasma Guns are cheaper.

Each of these is like a heavy weapons team (2 wounds, carries an extra lasgun, etc), but because it isn't called that anywhere in its keywords, it will only occupy 1 capacity in a transport, which may be worth remembering. See Lord's Approval above. This thing is drastically better against some armies then others. It has one less Strength and AP than a Lascannon and can't ignore LOS like the mortar, but versatility means it will rarely have a target it isn't happy shooting at. This has resulted in some changes to power cost though; Baneblade -2, Banehammer 0, Banesword +1, Stormlord -1, Stormsword +1, Shadowsword -1, Doomhammer +1. Warlord Trait - Honored Duelist: Re-roll failed hit and wound rolls in the Fight phase for attacks made by your Warlord. If for some reason you aren't taking the Punisher, the following loadouts are best for the following roles: Keep in mind that it is just a T6 vehicle so use the ignore LOS ability or see it explode.

Even with a standard loadout they punch very hard and aren't trivial to remove. Upon signing up, troopers are sent to training bases throughout Elysia to be intensely trained in the art of deploying via grav-chute and honing their combat and survival skills. Relentless Heavy Weapons and going full-auto with their Rapid Fire Bolters from 24" is not a fun prospect at all. While situational, the ability to ignore AP-1 is quite handy against autocannons which are common in take-all-comers lists, and will nicely insulate your light vehicles from attempts to weigh them down under heavy bolters. As of the most recent FAQ, these are now limited to 1 per officer, like all other Command Squads. This includes Tank Commanders as well as the Forge World Leman Russ variants (but not the Thunderer or Stygies Destroyer). Relics - Pietrov's MK 45: The bearer may replace its Bolt Pistol with a better, AP-1 D2 Pistol 2 (as of Spring 2019 FAQ) Bolt Pistol, and prevents friendly Valhallan units within 6" from losing more than 1 model per morale check, effectively turning your Company Commander into a Commissar, reducing your army's dependence on them even further. These orders allow units to double move or advance/fall back and shoot, not only making transports less necessary but also letting you play with weapon ranges or slipping away from your foe. That's 60 for ten models. Still, your dudes not dying IS argument enough, and even more so when facing the heavier stuff. The damage output from the Praetor leaves a lot to be desired considering its cost. But that is just the beginning of the hilarity.

In close combat, their sheer size can prevent consolidations while giving your opponent minimal kill points, thus allowing your other squads to counterattack in your next turn. There is extra wisdom to this now that Commissars only offer a re-roll with their Summary Execution. In addition, they treat AP-1 as AP0 like your Steel Legion vehicles, so that's gonna sting your autocannons and Heavy Flamers (who'd have thunk). Weapon selection should be Missile Launchers for Anti-Tank, Mortars for Anti-GEQ and Heavy Bolters for Anti-MEQ and TEQ. Just say they tunneled up from below. Makes your troopers into super zealots. That means that even if your enemy starts hitting your infantry squads behind her hard with ranged fire, they'll stick around if they're close enough. So far so good.

Hunter-Killer Missiles are also almost always better, but are one use only; while Tactical Bombs are rather gimmicky. The standard wisdom when designing an army is to aim for a uniform defensive approach between units, to prevent easy target practice for the enemy. Bonus!

Relics - Order of the Iron Star of Mordian: The Mordian infantry bearer gets a 4+ FNP, effectively doubling his wounds, lifting some of the workload from the Field Medic and the Ogryn Bodyguard. There will be times when the enemy can pull off a highly effective attack, pointing their dakka at your infantry and their blasta at your tanks. Some Doctrines add details to this cycle but don't plan on reliably rolling four consecutive 4+s. Undeniably better than just punching them. Yes, Demolisher squadrons can be a thing.

Besides, even when you get there it only deals an average of 1.75 mortal wounds against vehicles, buildings, and monsters, and an average of 1 to everything else. I have tried both and will usually land somewhere in between though I think going for a few commanders is probably better. Chapter Approved 2018 also happened to reduce the cost of these guys. Relic of Lost Cadia is also usually better, but is, Positioning is good, but how badly do you need it, especially when it's limited to a single unit of mere mortals per turn? Due to their nature drop regiments do not use the heavy vehicles of other Imperial Guard units and are restricted to whatever their transports can carry. Armageddon VEHICLES treat attacks against them with AP-1 as AP0. Alternatively, you could just cut down a storm bolter and attach it to a regular battlecannon turret. Get Back In The Fight will usually get the same job done, but sometimes you don't have the luxury of falling back, e.g. Order - Mount Up! This order can't be issued to a unit which is itself within 1" of an enemy unit. Kit him out with Power Maul and Bolt Pistol, along with the Vostroyan Warlord trait and get yourself a cut-rate Terminator for only 35 points.

Dirt cheap troops means you can laugh off the loss of cheap guardsmen or even 30 man conscript squads whereas an elite army cannot. This makes your melee screens infuriating to fight - start the turn, fall back an inch, Order the unit to Get back in the fight (Laurels for trolling) so they can shoot up the offender alongside the rest of your army, then charge back again if that wasn't enough (though they'll recieve Overwatch), keeping whatever they were in melee with locked in melee still, despite having pulled out for Shooting. Against multi-wound models, the anti-tank missiles are definitely better, doing more than twice the damage per shot with 2/3 the shot volume and 8/9 the points; even after accounting for the BS3->BS4 or BS4->BS5 penalty, the anti-tank missiles are going to be better in general against whatever flyers you are trying to bring down. Mixing and matching reduces their combat effectiveness. to make him understand that melee guardsmen just work. Guard Psykers are drawn from the Scholastica Psykana, and thus don't have a regiment; however they're the only Psykers with the Astra Militarum keyword, so if you want regiments, doctrines, and all that good jazz without adding another detachment, you're limited to the Psykana discipline. Avoid close combat like the plague, unless you can mob a single enemy squad with models, buff your dudes to the point of competence, or you're using dedicated melee units like Ogryns/Bullgryns. This means that you should only consider taking a Baneblade based on their other qualities like their relatively high mobility and strong melee capabilities thanks to the Steel Behemoth rule. Such a magnificent vehicle will cost you 111 points, don't even bother with any other upgrades. (2 CP): Use this stratagem at the end of your movement phase. If it were to consistently get an above-average number of shots, however (via command re-rolls or taking the, This went from being cheesier than a fondue convention to "meh".
