Love the content! So glad I saw that post in crusade and heresy about your 100th episode! Also great to see 30K in WA where I’m hopefully emigrating to in the next year
So, I'm going to talk about your Locutaros squad thingy because you have got a lot of rules slightly wrong there buddy. 1 - First of all regards the charge range possible here. Your range is 6" for the Spartan, 12" for the jump pack and then 2D6+5" (to a maximum of 12"). So your effectively moving 18", then rolling your dice to see if you get to your enemy. Which is 5" + 2D6(max 12"). Works the same way but its important. Min 25" Max 30" charge. So yeah essentially the same BUT... 2 - The Librarian Telepathy. This has to be done at the start of the phase. So you can not stop the enemy unit movement reacting back , as the Librarian starts the phase in the Spartan. 3 - The Locutaros get +1 to hit. Not +1 WS,. So with the Logos, they are at WS6 and then +1 to hit if the charged unit has been shot by another Ultrmarine unit. It's marginally better than +1WS. (I think). You are likely hitting nearly everything on 2's. 4 - Duellist edge is only for challenges. So your init. 4 standard still. They get 4 attacks each on the charge. (Searge 1 extra but please give him a TH! It's cheap on this unit and insanely good) Regards tactics, it honestly feels like a waste of a Spartan to me. Fill that bad boy with something else, like the Suzerain (again give at least some of them TH). My 3k all comers list has 2 Proteus with A Cataphractii Command Squad with Praetor in one, Suzerain in another and a Locutaros squad. I move them in to position turn 1, then use the Logos turn 2 and TRY to get all 3 squads charging something at WS6. I think you will enjoy the Locutaros on the board. They give the Ultramarines some much needed mobility which we struggle with as an army in general. Kratos are starting to look really really nice. Looking forward to building one of those. p.s. first time I used a scalpel, I was like 'How sharp is it? Wonder if I can clean up this mod...WHOOSH. Slipped down the model and sliced my thumb open to the bone. I feel for ya man.
No wukkers I'll address those problems in the next video, so it's clear where I made the mistakes. Thank you it's really good to get these things correct. One point I don't think it really a waste of a Spartan. Unusually just have them as a bullet sponge waltzing down the table menacing the troops, an to get an extra 6 inches is worth it if I was planning for it to be a gun platform anyway. Definately worth it to get get the squad in on the first turn to work too, it is not something you opponents can ignore. And by the time they are dealt with its turn 3 and whoosh! the rest of the assault hits. Planning on running it soon and I'll let you know how it goes. But I will post a correction next week. On all the points you told me.
@thatnewhobbyhigh expensive gun platform! Generally speaking the Spartan is a delivery system for your top class elite murder squad. That being said, getting surprise charged turn 1 is horrible. Last few games my opponent has summoned demon beasts on me in turn 1 and charged me. Its not fun. Good Luck! Locutaros are one of my favourite units.
I am quite exited, I was planning on acquiring 5 sets, and using the bits I won't use as trade goods for heads and bits I do, I'm quite happy with the kit but I have heard some are not due to the odd number of weapons and the lack of chain axes.
@thatnewhobbyhigh my other favorite Aussie heresy TH-camr comes to mind when I read this. Damn shame about the chain axes, it looks like my world eaters will remain at the 1k points I have them at now. (Without chain axes it's mostly a vehicle list lol)
You guys downunder are the absolute best. Please never change!
Cheers man, I appreciate the thought.
marines and tanks looking great excited when i saw ne vid. hanks for sharing sprue glue going to look into it!
It works very well so far but there is a small amount of clean up after but no sign of the join, so I'm quite happy with the result.

P.s. if you run them on foot, including a Librarian with jump pack can be especially nasty.
You hyped for the melee weapon pack they previewed? :D

Hope the family’s all good mate. Have you played Space Marine 2?
Not yet, I'm buying a system to play it on next month, I've heard very good things about it. Very keen for it.
@@thatnewhobbyhigh good stuff let us know what system you end playing it on. I’m on Xbox
Will do man.
put a rubber band on the not sharp end it stops them rolling
That Is actual genius, thank you
