Just a suggestion, but as someone who travels the country going to big GTs, you will only very RARELY play a mission on Dawn of War deployment, and it seems this the deployment you use the most. Search and Destroy is easily the most frequent, with Tipping Point and Crucible of Battle being next.
Good point! Yes, it's the one our group plays on the most, but looking at the other deployments I believe this strategy will still work with those. Hammer and Anvil is iffy and I would have to play a few games on it to see if I would need to adapt my movement patterns
I agree people don’t give the wave serpent enough credit. It’s one of the most efficient point per wound models we have. 13w with a 3+ 5++ and T9 is just unbeatable value for 110p(8.5 p/w). Great for blocking movement and keeping opponents off objectives with the large hull. On a side note, take the shuriken rifle on the Corsair reavers felarch, it is better than a neuropistol so there’s no reason to do otherwise. More range and double the attacks if within 12. With ap1 it tends to be much better than neuropistol in pretty much every situation.
This video inspired me to try serpents at a game. Had to use lynx instead of prisms. Rest of my picks after the serps + corsairs was wild though. Very fun and an archtype that can win for sure.
I'm running A half-Mechdar ynnari list tomorrow in my local comp league, Swapping out 1 falcon and 1 serpent for a venom kabalite, and some more infantry. I really liked the flexibility of the mobile stage in a practice this morning, Especially with a single 5man Wraithblade tarpit/missle to pressure my opponent's home objective. They just force over investment. Can't wait for it.
@@joewoodland8635 Dude that is awesome! 😎 honestly it throws a lot of people off I personally love mechdar now that we have seen enough points drops to make it work like a machine!
These lists are great. I always go aspect heavy, so I might adapt some bits about your first list but include spiders and spectres (because I like them)

Oh I didn’t even notice I could do that with the rifle and still get the power sword!! Tyvm for the notice!
And absolutely! Wave Serpent is very underrated

Dude that’s so awesome to hear! They are quite good honestly!
Wraith guard in serpents for some spice.
That’s a big pile of spice!

Gotta try this strategy out again! It looks super solid! 24:10 also, your laundry is finished :P
@@Pleaseberecylable Damn forgot the laundry thanks for the reminder 😑😅

Dude Spectres and spiders can absolutely work! The corsairs and serpents are the core of the list and everything else is pretty interchangeable
@ProxyHammer1 I'm glad to finally have a use for them, they've been sat in my cabinet for so long unpainted. Poor guys need some time in the sun.
@ Absolutely! Great units!
@glacierrr4743 Warp spiders never let me down. Just a universal problem solver
@ They basically kill almost everything, but do have their weaknesses
I'll be messing with something similar after the holidays
@@eldenwarden9673 Great list definitely recommend!!
Looks good.
😎 hell yes!

Is that dude from the berserk 1997 anime?
He indeed is! He is the mighty Adon Corbowitz commander of the Blue Whale Knights! A notorious schemer!
@ProxyHammer1 and one of the first recorded users of the phantasm stratagem!
@ Exactly!! 😂
So I am a Tau player. Not sure why I am here but I am just listening and nodding...
Mechtau is the same way! The young species of the galaxy are on to something!
Public service announcement.
Don't buy s*** before the codex is out next year. Nonetheless nice video
Weird thing is we will probably only have 1 year to play with the codex before 11th
@@ProxyHammer1 yeah most likely even if the book is released in February or march. We won't have long.
@@ProxyHammer1I hope not, that would suck lol
@@EliWintercross Yes it would I’m hoping they delay 11th
Or maybe buy the Combat Patrol, because the new one will probably be worse, or at least different.
