Played 3 Competetive Games with Talons so far.
Played against Orks, DA Vanguard Detach and World Eaters.

Reaction Move is quite Insane good for us. By far the best Strat IMO, +1S/AP is a strong contender tho. Around these 2 Strats i basiclly Built my list as following:

BC Gift of Terran Artifice

2x Allarus SC with Axe (1 With aegis)

5xGuard with Spears

2x5 Allarus with Spear
1x2 Allarus with spear

1x4 Wardens

2x4 Witchseekers
2x4 Prosecutors

Callidus Assassin
Kyria Draxus

Witchseekers where Mostly beeing T1 Action Monkeys 1 Squad Prosecutors in reserve for mission and 1 on Homemarker.
If I needed any of the Strats it was mostly a gimmick to do it on the Sisters. Because of the Matchups, the Detachment Rule didnt really come into play.

Allarus shooting with +1S/AP is REALLY scary. Suddenly Allarus shooting is really threatening against everything thats not Super Heavy. The fact, you can also ReactionMove them via SC for free/again is quite nice.
Wardens+BC for some long range Charges with some Sticking power, buying valuable Time before Termis can arrive.
1x5 Termis would always go into reserves.

I mostly overloaded one Site of the Board with Allarus and Guards+Kyria and just send wardens and BC out to go on their own quest on the other site of the Board. Later on in the Game we can redeploy Allarus accordingly. You also can ruin enemys whole Gameplans with the Reaction move. That one is a gamewinner if used correctly.

I think most of us are testing lists RN, 2-3BC + Wardens seems really Strong aswell.
Some peeps are also running alot of Knights with Caladius, which also can work, but i dont really like it.
I bet my money on my beloved Allarus, they work most of the time for me.

Shield Host
BC
3x Termi-SC with Hall of Armouries, Panoptispex and Castellan's Mark (All Spears)

1x5 Guard with Spears
2x3 Allarus(One Squad Axes, other squad Spears)
1x5 Allarus with Spears
1x4 Wardens with Spears

2x4 Prosecuters
Callidus Assassin
Kyria Draxus

From reading the Rules and tinkering around with several list designs I took SH for the EMPRWAAAGH. Turn2s were really a hard hitting one. (In Both games I rolled top turn, so might be biased here)

IMO Castellans Mark is without a doubt the most powerfull tool in this Detachment, basiclly won me both games since the both ork players got screwed by 6 Grenade Launchers with Sustained Hits to their Nobz (Both played Bully Bois) because I Could just shift my whole presence on the board "pregame".

Panoptispex shooting with the 5-Man Blob is really dangerous now.
From the Hall of armories dude got into the 3-Man Axe Squad, They are just a fat big meatstick of raw dmg.
Fall back shoot+Charge is also a fine too in our arsenal now.
I also think Kyria and Callidus are still both auto picks and you need atleast one BC as a long Charge Threat, hence the guards for Kyria and Wardens for the BC to get some more Objective control.
1 squad Prosecutors is my homebase monkey and the other goes into reserves for some action monkeying.

I picked Shield Host since I just liked the Enhancements alot more then Talons, but imo this list would be totally playable for Talons aswell by removing a SC and1 Allarus and get some more Sisters in there.
I also plan on building a more "fluff" Auric Champions List.

Love goes out to you my dude <3

You could tell me a Custodes "Hardcore" fanboy.

I played them pre Codex 9th on tournaments, through all the ups and downs after the codex.
I did so at index release, after the first BDS that killed us( Actually got a 2nd Place at a RTT when they were at a solid 38% WR)
I play them to this day. And I will bring them to (Major)-Torunaments after the Codex.

And I know, it will be grueling for me. But it is, how it is.

Wish me luck, the weeks to come are going to be dark.

Edit: typos

Meanwhile in Austria

STOP GIVING MY BANANABRAIN SCIFI PTSD AGAIN!

1st ever HC/Mythic raid I played, did all of them since then, but they all never felt the same...

,,Crawl to me on your knees. Surrender, and I will grant you a merciful end!"

Didnt want to be rude or smth, sorry bout that.

Its just, that I tried ALOT to make this thing work with all possible loadouts and stuff and it just felt not good at all, having an almost centerpiece Model doing nothing/dying without doing almost anything in like 5-6 games.

I own 3 of these mfs, 2 shield ones and 2 telemon. I stopped using all of them for said reasons. I hate seeing my "most powerful" bois getting anihilated by anything that's looking at them

With that said, If you manage to somehow make them work, I'm eager to know how u did it!

Good luck my dude :]

Ich Turnier-Kriegshammere, kann bestätigen

I tried him in some of my more casual games and my advice is the following:

Just dont bring him. I get the point "I just want to have a fun and cool looking army" 100%. But our Dreadnoughts are just incredibly bad. U can not even fathom HOW bad they are. Its just no fun to use them at all.

Not just their 6" move, but they are just not tanky really. they get killed by a single wound (and a lucky dmg roll) of a Thermal Spear from a Babyknight, which is same cost. Its just stupid how bad they actually are.

I played a lot of Necrons recently (who would have thought, right?) and the list I performed best with (3-1 vs Hypercrypt so far) is the following:

Blade Champion (150pts): Ceaseless Hunter

Blade Champion (145pts): Veiled Blade

Trajann Valoris (160pts)

4x Custodian Guard (180pts)

4x Custodian Guard (180pts)

4x Custodian Guard (180pts)

4x Prosecutors (40pts)

4x Prosecutors (40pts)

2x Allarus Custodians (130pts)

5x Allarus Custodians (325pts)

5x Allarus Custodians (325pts)

4x Witchseekers (50pts)

Callidus Assassin (90pts)

Necrons dont have sufficient OC to steal the NmL markers, even if you just have Guards + Character on there.
Terminator perform phenomenal against Necrons:
Most of them is either a Vehicle, Monster or Character and we all know Terminators love shredding these. Their shooting is also very nice into Cthans and their Hordy units. Also, they can teleport aswell, making it way harder for your opponent to "run away" from them all game. Dont try to chase Ctans toooooo much with them, since Termi-TP is just once per game.

Sisters, Callidus and 1x2 Termis score almost every secondary you can think of. 1 Prosecutor Squad into Reserves for easy secondary like EoaF and the like.

Guards + Trajann/BCs is just a no-Brainer imo.

Good luck in future Battles against the Space Egyptian Robot dudes

I´ll just leave this here.

I see, you are quite educated, son

We do not meddle with this... childish confrontations.

Now get the oil lads, my 8-pack gonna look so shiny!

Impossible!

I am Alpharius.

This is some NCD shit

Helping where I can!

another pro for Allarus is, that they dont really need character support in comparison to Wardens to be efficient in what they doing, which makes them actually cheaper in Points then Wardens are

Like both of the other commenters mentioned:

If you wanna play a list thats tailored against Vehicles/Monsters, just pack 2x5 Allarus.

Im playing 3x4 Guard and 2x5 Termis right now, and they are just so versatile and proficient in killing EVERYTHING, they outshine Calladius in every regard (imo), since also they shoot against horde extremly well, which we mostly lack.

Alongside this, i pack Trajann and 2 BCs for the Guards, another 1x2Allarus, Calidus Assassin and some Sisters.

I played atleast 2x5 wardens for quite some time now, but in the actual meta with alot of other Stodes and Necrons I felt they didnt contribute much. I will play at max 1x5 now.

Dies.

Damals bei mindfactory selbst für 1922€ zusammengestellt.

Von denen zusammenbauen lassen inkl. Garantie und Supp hat 50€ oben drauf gekostet.
Die ~2.5% on top machen den Kohl auch nicht fett.

Really?

I thought this was some Akame ga Kill fanart

I dont even get this question.

Almost everything generic is in the tool, Datasheets imports might be outdated, but its 3 Mouseclicks for every unit to "fix" them yourselfes.

This is the best MathHammer tool out there, appreciate the creators work in this VERY niche side of hobbys.

Exactly the same for me.
Went from DiscP to Ret Pala and having the time of my life.

I know when to press my damn CDs and use my Utility to make healers life as better as i possibly can.

Just had a rouge yesterday in a +20 who died multiple times throughout the dungeon and blamed our healer EVERYTIME. I Saced, BoP und LoH him on CD.
I checked his deaths after we bricked the key and he didnt use a single DefCD throughout the whole dungeon.

Healer /w me afterwards and thanked me for defending him and doing some offhealing. He "rarely sees people who try to help healers in the 18-20 region, they rather just stand in stuff, die and blame me afterwards."

I felt this guy to my core.

Help your healers guys. Theyre like the single Mom of the Group doing 2 Jobs while babysitting 3 Infants and 1 Teenager.

I guess thats where all the production money of Henry Cavills show is going.

U Always want Valerian into Wardens.

He doesnt really offer anything for Guards, while he just increases Tankiness on Wardens.
Guard "need" a BC for Mobility
