It's what I do with my Dark Angels. Have a Praetor as my Chosen, Deathwing Companion as my Butcher, Dreadwing Interemptor for my Gunner, Librarian Consul for my Balefire Acolyte, Legion Veteran for ny Shrivetalon, a Legion Vexilarius for my Icon Bearer, a Heavy Support for my Heavy Gunner, and Legion Tacticals/Despoilers for Warriors
Awesome video! Thank you so much for all the coverage to hype us up for the new edition! Question though; at 23:13 you mention that Malefic Blades is really good on the Butcher - why is that? If anyone can explain for me, that would be great!
According to the Warhammer Community article I read this week Legionaries are on the classified list of factions for one more year, do you think their popularity with players might extend the competitive life of this team beyond that?
So, the Balefire can now heal itself DURING a fight, right? As you strike, you're triggering Life Siphon and healing back the damage your opponent's strike just did? Big if true.
Before Tzeentches rule was 1 instance of a lethal 5+, it was effectively what it is now but in more words. I'm very glad they brought back confirmed crits to Tzeentch, it makes it hard to defend against and once again gives the rocket launcher a good home in killteam! Pairs amazingly with their strategic ploy.
I'm curious, did anyone at GW tell you why Blooded were disallowed a 2nd plasma weapon when no such restriction has been put upon the Legionaries or the Kasrkin?
Nice overview. Currently painting up my Legionaries as Alpha Legion. Figured if any can be mistake for another chapter and all. My question is are you still limited to having certain legions in your roster. ie, no Tzeench and Nurgle combined or is it open now?
@@CanYouRollaCrit They are! Perhaps not the 'best' operative choices because I never bought the box and had to make something with secondhand normal chaos legionaries. There is a fair amount of kitbash involved but I did manage to make them look nice.
@@CanYouRollaCrit I haven't played the new edition yet but it sounds like my go to roster is all suffering! Not to say they did great before, but my faves were Heavy Bolter/Reaper Cannon Gunner and Power Fist Champ. Still don't think I'll build a Power Maul Champ, though.
What about the "Astartes" racial when it says that they can react whatever their order is, if the operative is hidden can they make a reaction shot? PS: this is written with a translator, sorry
Not a big fan of the 4 Firefight ploys being wholly devoted to one each of the 4 God marks, considering there is a fifth undivided mark. One of the faction equipment is fairly redundant with the undivided chaos mark too. I Guess my undivided Legionnaires don't get firefight ploys? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Other than that I am loving these rules!
OK so might be crazy to say this but Killteam either needs to be all elite teams or no elite teams. Elite teams right now just have huge advantage and a vastly easier time winning than non elite teams.
Wow! Such a glow up! I might build a third Legionary team besides my Nurgle themed and black legion one!
You won't regret it!
I was sad to lose compendium Death Guard, but I think my Nurgle boys will do just fine under these new rules.
They definitely will!
was about to shelf mine and i popped onto this.. now im skipping around the house lets gooooooooo death guard is back baby!!
You must be excited with the news yesterday then lol
really great breakdown ty ty
Thanks (:
I am going to run HH loyalist firstborn as these guys.
Oooh nice
You can call them Alpha Legionaires

I doubt it sadly ):

Big if true.
Yup, it's very good (:
Glad I picked these up before the price hike.
Yeah they're a steal

Yeah Tzeentch is so good now
Same as with scouts hb can`t shoot twice so it goes away, but otherwise bad boys look great and I share your excitement for them!
Legionary would likely be broken if they could aha 😅
Played vs them with my hunter clade. On hit becomes 2 Crit, perfectly balanced!
Rending?
@@CanYouRollaCrit unless the guy was lying, they can get rending severe and punishing on one shooting per turn through ploys and equipment.
Where are the rules to be found? I can't see them anywhere. Your video is awesome, going to play these guys for sure!
Thanks! On warhammer community and the kill team app
@@CanYouRollaCrit thank you brother
How would a one box build look like ? Thx 🙏
Chosen, Aspiring Champion, Plasma, Melta, Chainsword Icon, Balefire, Anointed, Shrivetalon, Butcher, Heavy Bolter or normal Warrior (:
@@CanYouRollaCrit thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻
@@CanYouRollaCrit what weapons are recommended on these operatives with just 1 box?
I'm curious, did anyone at GW tell you why Blooded were disallowed a 2nd plasma weapon when no such restriction has been put upon the Legionaries or the Kasrkin?
Nope but probably because Blooded have easy access to relentless as well as taking melta too
I wasn’t planning on playing Legionaries but my LGS had the box on sale for 50% off so I guess I’m a heretic now lol.
We're all heretics now
GADZOOKS at the SAME TIME?!
Yup (:

Oooh nice! No, all open (:
Chosen is a happy man 😅
Chaos feasting
What the actual hell is quicksilver speed lol. Imagine turning 4+ to hit teams like krieg and pathfinders to 5+ to hit. You can run down the middle.
Yeah it's great haha
@@CanYouRollaCrit I know, I mean shoot it should’ve just been -2 to hit. 😂
I'm running an emperor's children full Slaanesh team. I am quite happy about how good slaanesh is now, can't wait to try them out in 3rd edition!
Nice! They sound great!
@@CanYouRollaCrit They are! Perhaps not the 'best' operative choices because I never bought the box and had to make something with secondhand normal chaos legionaries. There is a fair amount of kitbash involved but I did manage to make them look nice.
Can confirm after playing against these guys, they're release custodes level...
Aha I don't think they're that level tbh
this team is in the top of S tier in my oppinion right now
Tied at least imo
I just had a fun idea. A team of mostly alpha legion warriors 😅. That'll keep my opponent on their feet lol
That’s how I did my legionary team
That's what I've already done 👀
Such a shame with the Reaper Chaincannon
Yeah it was too good before but the nerf is a bit much
Team is looking strong, sad that the Heavy Bolter Gunner seems to have lost a lot of appeal. RIP big dakka.
Yeah worse HB at the cost of all the other buffs haha
@@CanYouRollaCrit I haven't played the new edition yet but it sounds like my go to roster is all suffering! Not to say they did great before, but my faves were Heavy Bolter/Reaper Cannon Gunner and Power Fist Champ. Still don't think I'll build a Power Maul Champ, though.
@prozacjunkie112 yeah sadly all those took a hit
Does Malefic Blades count towards the Aspiring Champion’s power fist making him hit on 3+?
He hits on 3s, but it doesn't use the power fist profile, it uses the malefic blade profile
His fist will still hit on 3s sadly
@@CanYouRollaCrit Oh that’s a damned shame.
hyper analyzing this so I can beat them
There's always a chance
What about the "Astartes" racial when it says that they can react whatever their order is, if the operative is hidden can they make a reaction shot? PS: this is written with a translator, sorry
No, they still follow the normal rules for shooting
Does the Nurgle gambit also affect Piercing Crits?
Yup (:
So I cant double shoot with my heay gunner with heavy bolter? Am I understanding this correctly?
Yup sadly

Undivided punished for not picking a side haha
is a rebox/reissue imminent ?
Rebox for new edition hopefully soon!
all KT21 boxes were being reboxed per warcom

Ah nah there's a way to balance it
@@CanYouRollaCrit for sure. I was just befuddled
