I REALLY appreciated this video. My friends and I have been playing and learning 40k together and I really got into Necrons, but every time I try to make an army everyone is just telling me "Hypercrypt is what's good right now" and everybody hates playing against me. This video has made me look more closely at my codex and I realised I actually think I can ignore what other people are doing and I've made what I think is a very fun Obeisance Phalanx list that's super cool to me specifically. It's not something I see being brought to tournaments - but it's definitely stronger as a result of having watched this video! appreciate you making it man :)
Super helpful look into the macro considerations in listbuilding! Definitely a good starting point before getting into the other tutorial videos that deal with specific aspects of playing your army like staging etc.
Your channel is awesome! Best 40k tactics Channel. I watched your list building and many other great vids and managed to win with GSC against deathguard decisively , taking planned fixed missions. I've never won before in 10th.
Just wrote a Dark Angels list - I feel it’s slow and doesn’t have range shooting but will hit hard and is tough. I hope it can score well. It’s phenomenally hard to tick each box.
awfully hard to tick every box indeed. often why those stat-check armies can be hard to deal with when you encounter them with a take on all comers type of list. Dark Angels running the Gladius detachment should be one of the best armies in game currently though, as far as I've understood.
I think that's the next step from the considerations here. Helps to be able to look at which boxes you're having trouble ticking and shoring it up by how you plan to pilot the list.
A potential step 6 is preplanning how your units react to the mission. Specifically for Pariah Nexus secondaries you have actions and battleline to think about. I'd be interested to hear your take on this?
A high Win Rate ≠ This Army wins against armies with lower Win Rates. I 100% agree an army is defined by how the "Commander" / "General" plays Not to say you are wrong in anything, but I would argue that the very first set is ... 1. What do you want to build around, Fixed or Tactical Secondaries. If Fixed, is there some faction that is inherently good that your potential Army can maximize those Secondary... i.e. Grey Knights can pickup and set down models/unit within 3" of anything (that doesn't have Infiltrators 12" deny area), along with Having a enhancement that allows a Deepstriking unit come in turn 1, and at the end of the opponent turn you can pick up to 3 units. So Behind Enemy Lines & Establish Locust is almost a guaranteed 7pts in Secondaries each turn for 35pts in Secondaries minimum as long as 1 unit/model is set within your opponent deployment zone. 2. If going Fix, select an army that you have access to that you can use in conjunction with a two fixed objectives that you have elected. If going tactical select an army you have access to that can be flexible to the will of the cards. 3. Select Detachment and "Put It Together"
cool, i go for fixed/tactical later (also that confuses things, i am trying to keep this helpful for newer people :P) but you are right, that is a concern as well!
I don't understand why custodes need to take SoS to get mortal protection . It is so stupid. Eldar don't need to take dark eldar or harleqin to get fate dice.
Sisters of silence are linked in to make custodes tolerable for other armies to face. An army with a base of t6 with 2+ saves are rough for a lot of people to handle without list tailoring. Sisters provide a utility piece to custodes, and a better game. Balanced custodes have to have sisters to deal with psyker lists. And sisters in an untailored format let armies that struggle with the custodes t6+ 2+4++ have a route for some progress.
I'm a simple man, I see a new Happy Krumpin video, I watch.
You are a chad like man!

Hitting on 4s? That's not a bad ballistic skill at all! That's some dang fine dakka right there.
you have revealed yourself Ork!
What a great explanation of how smart army lists are built. Thank you.
my pleasure bud!

Well done my guy! Super happy to hear this :)
Great vid as always Jonny! You’re really spoiling us lately with all the content this week
Cheers my guy!
Sage advice as always! Keep on Krumping!

it is hard to get everything! But not every army needs everything!
yeah, that are abusively strong haha

Great video!!! Very detailed and put together well! God bless!
Cheers buddy! Glad to be of service!
His blessings keep coming

i have a video precisely on this! How to score secondaries in pariah nexus!
Run an all Redemptor dreadnought army. They'll one shot anything close to a Heldrake.

First and watched 0.5s and can say its a HappyCrumping Classic
my guy!

army rule, vs detachment rule. 2 very different things. but also... i agree

i mean... custodes are one of the worst armies in the game. so basically i do not agree with your statement in any way
These videos are great but you need to be playing Space Marine 2 instead of making videos lol. Keep up the great content!
hahaha cheers buddy. I really do need to play it!
Okay now do admech.
hop in the discord. My admin has an insane success rate with admech right now
I saw a guy running champions of russ with precisely one character at my local club. It was a.... Bold choice.
yeah.... that is an option hahaha
