Good video. I would point out that we now have more Trooper synergy, especially with the Rocket Droids. Might be worth examining in a follow up video?

What a box! Nice pulls. Also super cool that you make it a family activity.

Surprised you said that you didn't like Deredeo dreadnaughts (while discussing Sons of Horus) yet they appear so highly on your stats spreadsheet (low damage per point). I though they looks good for their firepower and has a nice rule to get skyfire when required by going on a FF order. Am I missing something ? I had glossed over the "ignoring Allied Contingents" in the Alpha Legion rules, that's a real pain as it would be great to infiltrate some sort ranged units such as dreadnaughts.

Nice analysis. I orginally had 8 leman russ vanguishers and 6 kratos in my list, however when looking at the points of larger squadrons I dedicded to have 2 units of kratos. I originally had 8 leman russes (335 points) and 6 kratos (350), very similar points because the kratos gets bigger points discounts for a larger squadron. I therefore went for 2 units of 6 kratos. I was going to go with battlecannon and all lascannons, but watching your video I may go with one squadron having battlecannon and all autocannon. The main thing I didn't like with the vanguisher is that to take advantage of its range its only firing the one shot per vehicle. Combined with the changing points efficency when you increase to 350 points squadrons is what tipped me over to the kratos side. Plus its a lovely looking model :)

Can you do a video comparing all the different Leman Russ variants please?

5 months later, your deep dive examinations are sorely missed. There (as of 5 days from now) are 2 more books and all the units included to do the math on. In any case, I appreciate your work. Thank you.

fire video! sound is perfect!

Thank you!

This is an insanely helpful video, thank you for this!

The client+ vigilance works great against aggro. I tried it with proxies and healed 33 in 3 turns (i had iden out). It can be really powerful

3:40 - I think Storm Eagle can only take 2 stands of Assault Marines because of the Bulky keyword? Same issue with Spartans & Terminators as they don't have the "Heavy" transport keyword. Thunderhawks do have the Heavy keyword so Bulky doesn't matter and they can carry 8 stands of whatever infantry.

People throw out the "Broken" term too easily. Only two things i think are actually broken is Leman Russ Vanq weapons shouldnt have Armorbane (even without armorbane its superior to the other gun in every single way, anti-tank is not a negative worth paying attention to) and Infiltrate offers complete board control too easily. SA fliers are strong, im not denying that. But theres a difference between "perhaps a bit too good" and "wtf that is busted" - i think they just need to go up 10-15pts. I think the biggest reason people freak out about SA are beter than Marines is simply the Marine simps going "We arent near autowin unless completely swarmed wtf is this crap!" - this game is supposed to be fairly evenly numbered, SA have more infantry bases typically but the vehicles are about the same more-or-less. SA hit on 4s, but Marines have Accurate flippin' everywhere and a lot of their stuff also hits on 4s anyway. Every game ive played so far ive only eek'd out a victory, never a total stompfest like people are acting like SA cause.

Amazing work and information, thank you!

Great video, thanks for the tips. Just getting into SWU. At 5:08, you say Bright Hope can reset a Wing leader. How if it’s not a ground unit?

Space is... lacking

Wanted to build an IG-88 deck and I think you actually found a really good one, only thing I would worry about is card draw maybe?

Looks like you've done that before. Great Video

Love the data analytics here!

Cool video

Sound still sucks, even at max.

Volume is very low even when set to 100

Is there anything non-budget that you would add to make this deck better, or is this the best version and it just happens to be budget friendly?

5:15 It just occurred to me - would this potentially work with deployed Leia? She can't attack bases, but the rebel unit triggered from her ability can, right?

This is the deck (almost identical) I have played at my last two local events, I have won 3 games both times, including beating Sabine Green both times. And both times in 4th game I have played against a yellow cunning deck and got absolutely DESTROYED.

Or win by playing Boba😂 Jk I love the aggressive leia decks

Great deck tech! I feel like Leia is very powerful.

Great content! It helped me with my leia deck. Thanks 👍

Keep up the Swu content man, really digging it 👍

Why play Aggression to ready when you can run Keep Fighting? Aggression for 6 seems such a weak play.

Just fyi... the video audio volume is very low

Looks awesome!

Will try this version for sure

Seventh sister attacks, ready with inquisitor leader, sister attacks again, deploy inquisitor and attack (use unit ability to easily seventh sister), seventh sister attacks again, play aggression to ready 7th sister and attack again Similar deck to mine, I like to run resilient to give my units a little bit more survivability while stacking dmg

Well thought thru. Surprising . Definitely going to have one of these on hand to play or let someone else play when starting as an alt to the starter . Props for the language humor .

I think they add a number of these "changes" to the errata even if they appear in other books so that if a touranment says "we're using the rules, but not Case Blue" or something similar to that the change still takes effect, because the FAQ applies to the rules generally. Which is good: I'd prefer it written in multiple places than have arguments about whether or not it should apply or not

They would be more effective if you could actually get hold of them. All the aeronautica stuff seems to be permanently absent from the shelves, have they even reboxed them yet?

Also you'd be amazed how many scenarios have things wrong or missing that make them entierely unplayable I remember one my friend and I played that didnt have victory conditions, no objectives, nothing.

The sdkfz 222 is sold out cause thats the old resin and metal model The new plastic kit is avaliable and not sold out

Not much of a review

Thanks for the down and dirty. SdKfz 222 covers Armies of Germany book, but apparently not 222's in other books such as Chinese in Empires in Flames. Maybe that should've been All Books errata.

Let the Missiles fly. - HQ: Legion Command Squad (1), 25pts - Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (12), 95pts 8 Additional Heavy Support - Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (12), 95pts 8 Additional Heavy Support - Support: Legion Missile Launcher Support Detachment (8), 70pts 4 Additional Legionaries Optional: - Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (12), 95pts 8 Additional Heavy Support - Support: Legion Missile Launcher Support Detachment (8), 70pts 4 Additional Legionaries - Support: Legion Missile Launcher Support Detachment (8), 70pts 4 Additional Legionaries - Bastion: Legion Tarantula Battery (4), 36pts

For space marines you need at least 3 storm eagles to transport the compulsory units. I load 16 assault marines in two thunderhawks and 2x4 core of tacticals in stormeagles. Would it be better to upgrade the stormeagles into 2 more thunderhawks for +100pts and the ability to add missile launchers to core groups. Compulsory: - HQ: Legion Command Squad (1), 25pts - Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (4), 35pts - Core: Legion Tactical Detachment (4), 35pts - Support: Legion Assault Detachment (8), 54pts 4 Additional Assault Marines Optional: - Support: Legion Assault Detachment (8), 54pts 4 Additional Assault Marines - Air Support: Legion Xiphon Interceptor Squadron (1), 95pts - Dedicated: Storm Eagle Dedicated Transports (2), 200pts 1 Additional Storm Eagle - Dedicated: Thunderhawk Dedicated Transports (2), 300pts 1 Additional Thunderhawk Gunship

I especially enjoyed the advanced tactics.

What are your thoughts on the new books completely abandoning/changing the price curve detachments are on depending on their size? Not a single new unit saves even 1 point by scaling up. Would also love to hear your thoughts on activation economy itself, especially as the game scales up. We're finding it tends to play better oddly at lower point levels like 1000-1500, there has been a tendency for the bigger games so far to be very top heavy/top loaded in terms of the first few turns being very decisive and then someone tapping out. Noticing alternating activation almost exhaustion.

Good vid - still waiting to get some serious board time with my lads yet (mostly cos my painting has been slooow). Keep it up though! 👍

Can't believe it's been a month since your last video, fantastic video, keep up the good work :)

For events we're likely going to have to limit the number of formations in general, and the first change likely to happen is limiting marines to 1 faction and forcing them to burn their 30% allies to take a 2nd. Reasons are balance, aesthetic, but also, it might be hard enough to get people to have their legions paint job correspond to their rules, having to deal with that multiple times over is also not ideal.

Great vid but bro for the love of god edit out your sniffles and swallows lol

Oh great, another GW re-release that invalidates previous collections. 🙄

Of note, unless I am mis-reading the rule; Alpha legion Allies do get a special rule if all allied detachments are alpha legion. It’s less potent than the full army rule, but still something.
