Sergeant steel you missed the best synergy and strategy with the drill! I suggest you redo the video because it is worth covering imho. Get a unit of kasrkin (they get scouts) get them to die on the first turn( attempt to not get battle shocked), then on turn 2 you spend CP to reinforce them. Now that puts them in strategic reserves, and that means you can deep strike the reinforced kasrkin squad with the drill. You can obviously do this with other units but kasrkin do it best thanks to scouts and their auto order.
20 infantry, cmd sq, enginseer, servitors, ogryn bodyguard, attachés= 34 units dropped out
3 rapier laser destroyer batteries- 6 twin linked laser cannons going off in the back line would shift many heavy things
The Hades really is a wild unit for the guard! Some very interesting ideas here.
I've heard of Hades being used in huge apocalypse games and it really sounds like a massive opportunity on extra huge boards.
There is one strategy thats a bit cheaper that's similar to your infantry squad bomb – with Tempestus Scions + a Tempestus Command Squad, you can get a very similar wall of plasma fire, hitting on 3s. Courtesy of Mordian Glory.
20 man inf with 2 heavy lascannon a command squad with a sniper and heavy lascannon with kyria draxus for 18" lone ope shinnanigans also put 2 snipers in inf squads for 3 total snipers 3 heavy lascannons in a lone op 18" blob of anti tank and hero 😊
Infantry can only take a Plasma for every 10 models in the unit, so you can only have one extra Plasma in a unit of 18. Might as well toss an extra Heavy Weapon into the Platoon Cmd Squad for a total of 3.
Deepstrike an earthshaker
Sergeant, do you have advice for painting the focal lens on Las Guns?
Great video man! Hey Ihow do you magnetize the bottoms of your vehicles for putting them in magnetized bins for transport?
I really think this looks seriously fun! Just for the hype this could be a great unit!
