congrats on the win at LVO. been out of wargaming since SF killed Guildball, but my brother just gave me a demo of this game today. It seemed fun and now I'm trying to decide what to buy.
Check out my how to start video. But to summarize it get the core and something you are interested in painting. Avengers are a pretty fun faction so hard to go wrong there.
I'd be interested to see a Shadowlands Syndicate version of this list that maximizes its killing potential. Shuriken Arashi + Cruelty/Cruel Tutelage + Helios Laser presents some bonkers early KO potential on a wide chip damage team with near constant rerolls. Also did you ever consider splashing Lockjaw instead of Rhino for 20 threat games? His teleport could line up double attacks for the gun line, interdimensional bloodhound could yield a bunch of extra dice against single targets in 10-15 attack turns( somewhat mitigate the effects of cover) and producing 4 power a turn makes him an excellent battery for helios laser.
No one does exactly what dynamo does so there isn’t a great replacement. However I do think that there are other builds of shield that are strong. You could build around a tall piece like thanos, hulk, or prime. You could just play more wide stuff. I also think Shuri is pretty good in shield.
Hey bro, I have just started playing a very similar list in my local meta and your videos have helped me get better playing shield. The only problem I have is people are starting to not want to play against me anymore 😅 is this a problem you have faced? For reference I have come 2nd, 1st, 1st at the last 3 events at my FLGS (spiderfoes/ web warriors/ spider foes) and it feels like I've only gotten better with shield.
So this is an issue with any game that grants advantage to a more skilled player. I would recommend stretching your wings with new stuff when you aren’t playing against your metas top players. Lately I’ve been practicing for the adepticon affiliation battle so I’ve been playing no splashes.
@@VincentCurkov yeah I still have an issue with the only affiliations I own being quite strong. I will start doing more thematic lists and see how that goes! Goodluck for adepticon mate.
Tbh I find most content on MCP to be: "This model is good. This model is decent. You should try out what works for you." But you actually delve into theory and you articulate your reasoning in a really helpful way.
Good video, i like all the explanations! well said and well laid out
Thank you thank you!
The first of many significant wins for Sensei Vince!

Very good information, thank you for your insight 😁
After catching the finals on TH-cam, I saw you were using a Red & Green mini white board. What product is that and where could I find that? Thanks
So I made these from a 3D print and whiteboard tape. One of our locals also made something similar out of a white board he put in his laser cutter.

does the spider woman/agent venom release change anything in the list for you? do either of them make the cut?
The current version I’m playing has Agent Venom in for rhino as a solution to the cover teams/crisis. I don’t think spider woman will come in.
Have you looked at swapping rhino for antman to cover the same role? I have loved antman with shield, or in CS.
I have not. I’m a bit worried about his ability to carry extracts after he runs them down. Also rogue seems like a serious issue for him.
Maybe this is a terrible question, but for people not really wanting Crimson Dynamo, is there a decent substitute?

I think I like the idea of Prime. The core three plus Prime may make for an interesting 15 points.
How many games do you think you've played with Shield overall?
A few hundred for sure. If I had to guess I would think I was closing in on 200.
Did Vince win LVO? I hadn't heard!
Omg who told you my secret?!?!?

It didn't surprise me you won
I'm glad someone believes in me!
@@VincentCurkov I told you before you even started the event!
You sure did.

Thank you. I try really hard to be helpful.
