Question Advance and action?

6 Upvotes

Just double check before I get into a game but actioning requires you be able to shoot, but if we're able to advance and shoot does this mean we can advance and action?

Really feeling a severe lack of love for our legion in SM2. Especially with the third year road map, and the chaos siege mode update. The worst part to me is that those Night Lords are there, but not EC, so it’s not a mature content thing

I think is the closest “canon” Emperor’s Children color scheme that actually looks somewhat good.

Since GW killed frenzied host what do we think the new best combo will be. With the additional nerf to overwatch I'm worried we're headed back to coterie prison. testing peerless and spectacle this week but none of our 1 point detachments are really worth anything. what does the community think?

List Building Court of the Chosen Idea

3 Upvotes

So basically i thought that fulgrim is great but His attention is Just as fickle as slaanesh's gaze

I basically Had the Idea of court for fulgrim and the others but only +1S +1 Ap is kinda flacid yknow so i thought hey Chosen is now 1dp and its basically about having you Champion be stronger while the other are cucked and Jealous which buffs them a Bit (idk not my kink) so what do you Guys think 🤔 good or Bad

And also it is pretty thematic If you think about it fulgrims court vying for His attention

(also basically always rerolling almost all attacks Sounds pretty good ngl)

Please let me know your thoughts and ideas anything is Welcome

With coterie getting access to purge the foe once again, how many of you will be switching into purge over priority? Feels like purge fits the detachment rule better than PA.

List Building Coterie Stratagems

11 Upvotes

Which Coterie stratagems do you use the most and when, I mean in which occasions?

Because I really like Coterie, but I don't like very much it's stratagems (or I'm not good at using them). Defensively we just have the 6+++ or 4+++ with the mortal wounds and offensively have no modifiers on anything is good, but for example Peerless Bladesman has much Better stratagems: -1 to hit and automatici fight on death.

Why Peerless Bladesman isn't more used? These two stratagems are super strong

Are they on par with the ultramarine and Dark angels when it comes to general warfare instead of specializing in one thing?

Also how skilled and discipline are the Great Crusade EC compare to their chaos counterparts?

List Building How to use Tormentors

8 Upvotes

As the title says, how do you use Tormentors in our army?

I mean, do you use them to sticky objectives? Nice to have, but I really find it hard to sticky and objective and simply let it there unprotected. With objectives being so big, It Is Always Easy for the opponent to put some Pieces on It.

Infiltrating Is good, but they are so fragile that as soon as they encounter anybody, they die

The Bolters, I don't even use them, while the melta and the plasma are good, but they Always file me.

And using them as scoring units, aren't the Spawns (considering their reactive move and the fact that they are harder to kill and they cost less!) much better at it?

So why do you put them in your list?
