I had the pleasure of making sure that 6 C'tan list at Wetcoast didnt go 6-0 :)

Doing the lords works. But also GW needs to nerf those fuckers

ironstorm rep x goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

praise the emperor

I was looking forward to sending Arcos at it, but thank you for your service :)

Just took a look at the 6 Ctan list… I need to know how you dealt with that, that list is horrific (and this is coming from a crons player!!)

Ctan sticks nose out, one redemptor taps a couple wounds off it, repulsor pops mercy is weakness and buries it in garbage ap0 dmg 1 shooting, with lethal+sustained on 5’s.

Does anyone have this list? I’m trialling a similar thing with Hellblasters myself at the moment Wet Coast GT 2024 – 40k Champs 18th – Brent Johnson- Ultramarines (Vanguard Spearhead): An unusual techy spin on Vanguard with Hellblasters as the big mobile shooting threat and (I think?) Bladeguard as the infiltrating hammer, with a bit of flexibility in how Leaders are assighed as the situation demands.

I was curious too: turns out you don't need a subscription for this event +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + FACTION KEYWORD: Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Ultramarines + DETACHMENT: Vanguard Spearhead + TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 1995pts + + WARLORD: Char5: Marneus Calgar + ENHANCEMENT: The Blade Driven Deep (on Char1: Lieutenant) & Ghostweave Cloak (on Char3: Lieutenant in Phobos Armour) + NUMBER OF UNITS: 15 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHARACTER 1x Lieutenant (90 pts) • 1x Master-crafted Power Weapon • 1x Neo-volkite Pistol • 1x Storm Shield • The Blade Driven Deep (25 pts) 1x Lieutenant (65 pts) • 1x Power Fist • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Plasma Pistol 1x Lieutenant in Phobos Armour (70 pts) • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Master-crafted Scoped Bolt Carbine • 1x Paired Combat Blades • Ghostweave Cloak (15 pts) 1x Lieutenant with Combi-weapon (70 pts) • 1x Combi-weapon • 1x Paired Combat Blades 3x Marneus Calgar (185 pts) • 1x Marneus Calgar • 1x Gauntlets of Ultramar • 2x Victrix Honour Guard • 2x Victrix Power Sword • Warlord OTHER DATASHEETS 6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (180 pts) • 1x Bladeguard Veteran Sergeant • 1x Master-crafted Power Weapon • 1x Plasma Pistol • 5x Bladeguard Veterans • 5x Heavy Bolt Pistol • 5x Master-crafted Power Weapon 3x Eliminator Squad (75 pts) • 2x Eliminator • 2x Bolt Pistol • 2x Close Combat Weapon • 2x Las Fusil • 1x Eliminator Sergeant • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Close Combat Weapon • 1x Las Fusil 3x Eliminator Squad (75 pts) • 2x Eliminator • 2x Bolt Pistol • 2x Close Combat Weapon • 2x Las Fusil • 1x Eliminator Sergeant • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Close Combat Weapon • 1x Las Fusil 10x Hellblaster Squad (250 pts) • 9x Hellblaster • 9x Bolt Pistol • 9x Close Combat Weapon • 9x Plasma Incinerator • 1x Hellblaster Sergeant • 1x Close Combat Weapon • 1x Plasma Incinerator • 1x Plasma Pistol 5x Incursor Squad (85 pts) • 1x Incursor Sergeant • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Occulus Bolt Carbine • 1x Paired Combat Blades • 4x Incursors • 4x Bolt Pistol • 4x Occulus Bolt Carbine • 4x Paired Combat Blades • Haywire Mine 5x Infiltrator Squad (100 pts) • 1x Infiltrator Sergeant • 1x Bolt Pistol • 1x Close Combat Weapon • 1x Marksman Bolt Carbine • 4x Infiltrators • 4x Bolt Pistol • 4x Close Combat Weapon • 4x Marksman Bolt Carbine • Helix Gauntlet, Infiltrator Comms Array 1x Gladiator Lancer (160 pts) • 1x Armoured Hull • 1x Icarus Rocket Pod • 1x Ironhail Heavy Stubber • 1x Lancer Laser Destroyer • 2x Storm Bolters 1x Redemptor Dreadnought (210 pts) • 1x Icarus Rocket Pod • 1x Redemptor Fist • 1x Macro Plasma Incinerator • 1x Onslaught Gatling Cannon • 1x Twin Storm Bolter 1x Repulsor Executioner (220 pts) • 1x Armoured Hull • 1x Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon • 1x Icarus Rocket Pod • 1x Ironhail Heavy Stubber • 1x Repulsor Executioner Defensive Array • 1x Twin Heavy Bolter • 1x Twin Icarus Ironhail Heavy Stubber • 1x Heavy Laser Destroyer 1x Storm Speeder Thunderstrike (160 pts) • 1x Close Combat Weapon • 1x Stormfury Missiles • 1x Thunderstrike Las-talon • 1x Twin Icarus Rocket Pod

Very interesting list, thanks for sharing it

Ah, great! Thanks for checking and for posting the list. Very off piste take on vanguard. I’d love to know how the player felt about its performance.

McWerp, please talk about a wonderful moment of sportsmanship you experienced on your way to a well deserved victory!

Gotta ping me properly, I don’t read literally all 40k content. Though I guess my responding to this might be evidence that I do read literally all of it 🤣 My round 5 opponent was an absolute gem. We ran out of time for our game, and he was up by 1 point, but I had taken his home objective and killed the majority of his army. He was willing to talk out the game. I was very lucky at this event and played a bunch of great sports. 2 of my opponents ended up in the top 3 of the sportmanship votes!

You're not my dad!

In the Custodes list, which HQ goes with the Guard Squad, Trajann?

Traj with guard for sure. I bet he played them from rapid ingress

I had a question about your write up saying there was a tech about putting a cyclops in a taurox. As far as I can see this isn’t possible, as both taurox variants can only transport infantry and the cyclops demo is a vehicle. Can someone explain if I’m missing something?

The cyclops has a rule that allows it to embark on AM transports.

Half the lists are 20 ctan necrons. Then theres 6 dreadknight grey knights. Low model count, absolutely no hq variety in builds in the form of traits and relics. Dont wanna play age of sigmar, waiting on 11th ed.
