Grey Knights: Mobile enough to choose where they get their ass kicked.

@toybot99 6 months ago

Ahh yes Tyranids. Try to score a lot as your army fades away to nothingness by turn 4.

@AAw3s0m3 6 months ago

'Nids: "Hey 'Gaunts, look to your left. Now look to your right. If all of you die before the end of Turn 3, we've lost!"

@NickP-t3z 6 months ago

Bit of an oversight not mentioning the meta strategy of 18 centurions for space marines

@Zangief-e6x 6 months ago

Want to have the best units in the game? Like the idea of re rolling all of your dice rolls? Want units that are impossible to kill and even when they do die, just automatically revive themselves for one cp? Want your entire army to have 3+/4++/5+++?

Play Necron!

World Eaters are pretty simple, before reaching melee, you are angry they killing your stuff. After reaching melee, you are angry because they dont have enough stuff to kill.

Nice. Dinner has 3 mins left to go in the oven. Gonna munch that then was planning spending my evening painting some models so will listen to this while I do. Rock and roll Saturday night for me!

I can't wait for you to do this exact video in a few months when 11th Edition comes out.

Admech: horde army with extra cost

Orbital Assault Force. I'm new to 40k but nothing sounded more fun than dropping dreadnoughts behind enemy lines

@wanderingronin6462 6 months ago

1:06:10 I swear to the Dark Gods of Chaos themselves that if I hear someone call Word Bearers "World Eaters" ONE MORE TIME I'm going to re-enact the Battle of Calth.

Votann = Mechanized infantry. All vehicles are transports minus kapricus defender and bikes.

@tedwasanasan3805 6 months ago (edited)

39:27 the stand out units section is awesome. As someone becoming interested, there is so many schools of thought between "optimal tournament list," and "choose the one you think looks cool." Its hard to know what i actually want from an army, knowing their notable units lets me figure out how those units play.🙏🙏🙏

Eldar right now: No playstyles allowed

@Beriorn 6 months ago

You can fit 14 War Dogs in a 2k list with no full size Knights for maximum awoo.

Also the Karnivore no longer hits on a 2+, but with its weapons having Sustained Hits 1 and 6 attacks the math works out the same.
