Can you do maybe a, best 1000 point buying guide for each faction?

[I_am-lost.]

I feel like troups really take the top for harlequins

[TheOnyxian]

I love plonking 30 Necron Warriors on the table. Get them buffed up and watch your opponent scream with frustration as they move implacably toward their lines. It's very satisfying hehe

[davidc]

Tyranids definitely rely on their troops choices the most out of any faction

[captainkarnage]

GW: How do we get people to start playing more CSM instead of cultists
GW: How about we stop selling them!!!

[OlrikMeister]

Personally for me the tactical squad is the best option purely for the special and heavy weapons. As a salamander having 4 extra melta shots (multimelta +2 melta's) is amazing. For 220 points and having quite a bit of punch. Also squad tactics for 2 small squads of 110 points with 2 melta shots each is great.

[Telveryon]

Slight correction on the Deathwatch "standard infantry and the rest bikes" killteam, in the FAQ it says that if a killteam units has only bikes in it (like when you combat squad 5 bikes), it loses the infantry keyword and gains the bike key word. So if you want to keep your bike squad being able to go through walls you need to send a vanvet or equivalent with them.

[Peelioka]

Troops should be more important than they are in 9th, it doesn't make sense for an army to have more specialists than troops.

[celtichistory]

1 lord commissar with Master of command
3 30 man conscript blobs. With the new rules, the commissar can order all 3. That's a ton of lasgun shots

[LysimedVenteel]

Despite my better judgement, I actually like stalker-pattern bolt rifles. The 2 damage is handy for playing against other space marines.

[MaxK]

Yeah, craftworlds troops are in a 'don't even bother' category for me. No damage output, no survivability and obsec means nothing if you're dead. Warp spiders and hawks do the job of getting objectives due to sheer speed but that's it.

[apocalyplant]

FWI, the enhanced data-tether AND Omnispex went up to 10 points each as well as being 9 points per model, now costing an extra 30!!!points

[Kincoran]

Please consider doing a video investigating the best way to put together a Firstborn-only Space Marine army. I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on the best chapter to go for, with a typical/effective army.

[TurkYbAstEr]

Weird opinion here, but I think more mobile chapters get the most out of heavy intercessors. The advantage of HIs isn't damage output, it's their increased durability and to take advantage of that durability + obsec you want them on the objectives where the fighting will be the toughest. Chapters like white scars and blood angels will get their HIs where you want them faster than other chapters.

You pump out soooo much content! Thank you 🙏

[marko]

Concerning the Deathwatch Proteus Kill Teams, the mobile half of the combat squaded unit also has the INFANTRY keyword, if it contains at least 1 VanguarD Veteran. These can move stupidly fast, advance and charge if make them White Scars (either by stratagem or the new Octarius Strike Force rules) and can move through ruins to engage and outflank your opponent in places he thought to be rather safe to place vulnerable units there.

[cythonnaiilo]

i still love my kabalites and tacticals. will continue putting up good fights for my opponents with them

[schaaf]

Thanks for the always great content! Poxwalkers are awesome.

[acmbass]

This video is less than two months old, but I've heard Sisters of Silence can operate as troops for Custodes, prosecutors providing anti-psych and ranged shooting, and at a lower troop cost than their more durable counterparts.

[khornebread]

Word Bearers should be able to bring Possessed as a Troop choice...
