Made a mistake, turns out Pask can take a different loadout. In that case, he's A tier definitively. Maybe not S due to cost, squishiness and no Tank Ace trait but still a solid A tier unit.
I am sorry I have the dumb
it ok ur still hot
You are only human. But yeah I would leave him in B tier because he is a character with more than 10 wounds so he can be targeted and if your opponent knows who he is and what he can do will shoot the shit out him A.S.A.P.
It's Warhammer 40k it's a lot of shit to know and remember. 🥪
Bricky... are you telling me you don’t know every last detail about 40k? This game that changes its units and rules and such constantly? How dare you make content on it. What HERESY!
So as someone who loves running basilisks, I should mention it’s strength 9 not 7 :) I’ve ran it as a tank ace once or twice not too bad wit aerial spotter 👍🏼
Video: Marbo's missing !
Me: It's lore accurate !
AAAAAAAAAAA
Your not wrong...
Oh dang! You’re right! I’ve watched this video three times and I never noticed Sly Marino’s absence! His stealth skills are just that insane?!?
@@Nobleheart111 Sly Marbo could hide from the Adeptus Custodes. While in the Imperial Palace.
Oh God the Space Marine Tier Vid is going to be as long as LotR Trilogy
Bold of you to assume it will be that short
Damn, now you guys really got me. Tier lists are dangerously addictive
"we're not talking about forgeworld units"
*Sad gasmask noises*
I was really hoping to hear some thoughts of Krieg, main reason I clicked.
@@echothegecko2875 instead we have 3 catachan units and the rest cadia
That's because if Forgeworld was included then Death Riders would be S tier and everything else in the Imperial Guard range would be C tier or below
there are no more Krieg units tho we just got fuckin deleted again.
@@cyanideinmycereal1077 xtra sad gas mask noises
"Hellhounds go up, flame and die in an explosion!"
I honestly don't see the downside here.
2 points for bring it down per hellhound is the downside.
@@stibosis take the Artemia Pattern Hellhound and dollars to donuts you are earning more points than they're earning off it IF they kill it
I take two down flanks, stuff dies, they nearly always earn there points as people shoot at my lemons 😁
Only Hellhounds and Conscripts for maximum glory 😈
30 Conscripts with a commissar on a backfield objective is pretty good.
No, 30 conscripts with a commisar WAS pretty good. Now, take 3 infantry units. Same points, morale doesn't affect other units, and commisars are all but pointless today.
All I got from that was: "This army used to be good, but like the others it had to be nerfed to appease the Marine players".
Primaris psykers don't cast twice. They just know 2 powers.
Unless of course you take it with a unit of wyrdvane psykers, then you can use a 1CP strat to *both* gain an extra manifestation and +2 to their rolls
@@MrPsycogoldfish if you go that route, you're paying more than 2 astropaths and wyrdvanes aren't characters, so they can always be targeted.
@@lordcastellan4735 Yea but just 4 points more if you only take 3 wyrdvanes, I'd pay 4 points to get 4 manifestations with +2 to cast and 3 Psykana powers instead of 2 manifestations and 2 powers and also can't reliably cast smite
@@MrPsycogoldfish in 6" of that WYRDVANE PSYKERS unit. Very nice!
Finding out Bricky also plays Guard makes me quite happy.
I wish Bricky was a Teacher because his voice just makes me want to listen to him.
Love watching these videos whilst building and painting my genestealer cult models
I’m telling the commissar on you
@@FunkBastid I’m telling the primus on you
Death riders of krieg is the best astra militarum unit. No joke.
That is no laughing matter. FIRE ANOTHER ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT
Yea, till they get dropped like half of krieg did. I was saving for krieg, that cut saved me a shit ton of money.
Colton Long same lol
@@coltonlong7562 but why save money on such badass models
@@unifiedhorizons2663 To pay taxes and food.
Can you do a tier list for the Xenos armies, especially the Necrons
Another necron player brother! May your dynasty be nasty!
@@ostidenerd9108 Even better, nightmares are on the march!
I think that strakken gives the catachan +1 strength to himself, as do all officers.
Awesome videos guys! Really loving the content, keep it up!
I want to imagine Bricky coughing, and everyone in the room looking in panic, so he has to say "I'm good"
"Tokyo drifting some tank commanders" xD
Please do a tier list for Custodes + Sisters of Silence.
would love this for all the other factions as well!!
We need an AdMech tier list now, the Omnissiah demands it!
Clicked for bricky, good job putting him in the thumbnail.
This was a pretty cool video looking forward to tier lists on every army
PLEASE do a tier list for all factions. This is very helpful for me as a new player (and also very entertaining).
I Don't find "the wall of guns" interesting enough of an army to try to Play. By all means i should not be here. But listening to Bricky talk about Warhammer - sign me the fuck in
My dude I had the same kinda hang ups with guard so I made them more into like an airborne thing with three Valkyries and troops with artillery in the back. What I like about guardsmen is you can just do really whatever you want and sure might not be amazing or anything but its fun as hells
@@pantsmage970 valyks are hella fun
@@jacksilverman2522 only way to win lol
Guard are an extremely aggressive gunline. If you sit back with them, you'll lose. You actually need to be pushing the entire game. Infantry squads are actually very fast, so you're playing a game of maneuvers. Can you move enough guys to hold an objective before you're shot off of it.
Umm... Pask can take any of the Lemann Russ options, he's not "locked into" the battle cannon?
That's what I thought too, I take him with the gatling cannon.
Id love this style of video on Necrons and Space Marines (that might be too broad) Maybe you can do a video on the Indomitus box and rank those units for usefulness etc. Would be really helpful for all of the budget player you guys have gotten into this game!
Thanks for doing this! I'm starting a good ol gaurd army. While I'm mostly doing what I think is cool. Its nice to see a ranking!
I’ve been wanting to get into warhammer but to no avail, I allways get hung up when it comes to comparing units to others when Im figuring out who to take. This helps me weed out units and make proper educated choices with my finances and list building! I need one for the Custodes so badly!!! I’m horribly lost 😞 thank you bricky for this man I’d love to see you tackle the golden bois!
I would love to see Valks used more often, as I've bought 2 of them recently just so I can relive my days of dropping off Pelicans in Halo but with Scions and Bullgryns. If Guard ever gets Jeeps and Valks can carry them, then I would automatically buy 15 Valks.
Same my dude same
If you don't mind using legends than there is a gun buggy that can be deployed by a Valk
@@francescolnicoletti1519 I really wish Legends wasn't a thing, but I'll take a look into it.
@@orkermon7292 Its the Elysian tauros. And its cooler than hell. But that was the Sky Talon Valkyrie, also an Elysian exclusive. There was also a DROP SENTINEL, which is as cool as it sounds. The whole of Elysia got nixxed going into 9th, along with traitor guard, and half of Krieg.
@@coltonlong7562 I will never understand why GW gets rid of cool stuff like that. I guess I'll stick to my Scions in Valks instead of hunting down the right models that I wouldn't even be able to use in tourneys...
man i dont even play 40k but i see bricky i click
Genius idea. Keep doing this for all the factions please.
I love this as a sorta have visual guide to a faction and half tacticle as that sweet spot of what looks cool and what is good is generally how I build armies
Your second army is SoB you have to make a video about them as well!!
Bricky: D-Tier in stats but S-Tier in my heart
Me: Basically half of my tastes in everything
I’m starting to think you’re the Brandon Herrera of the warhammer youtube channels
I’m so glad a Bricky has has moved on from exclusively Minecraft Let’s Plays, so inspiring!
Veterans paired with the ‘experienced eyes’ stratagem is really good. Give them first rank second rank and use the stratagem stated before gives you 36 lasgun shots hitting on 3s wounding on 5s (most of the time) at an ap -1. I have destroyed so many units with that.
When does the next tournament start? I love the channel so far/ I wish u guys were part of the Vegas Nopen. Keep it up!
nice dude. i hope you will bring a tier list for battle sisters too.
i dont even play the warhammer tabletop game yet still watched this video twice for some reason.
I thought to myself, hmm I'm going to look up a list for my guard, and boom - you posted. Ask and I shall receive, thank you!
Love the content! Could you guys please do orks? 🙏
you can definitely tell that the text on the side is literally just the editor trying to paraphrase whatever bricky is saying again
That’s fine it adds a quick summary
Yes but isn’t that the point? What else should he be doing with the text and screen space?
I've always been a fan of Aircav (rip Elysians), and the 9th changes to vehicles made the valks so much better for what I do.
I was sad about not seeing any memes of Creed hiding giant mechs behind a bush or something.
Waaait a minute.. yes, I want to main astra militarum.. just realized you're doing content for more than one of my favourite hobbies
i would love to have this updated with the new codex
Now Bricky has my complete RUclips feed with Adeptus Ridiculous and his channel (where he praised the M-96 Mattock so he is a Chad).
You should do more of these, maybe do a tier list of the army's inside of each factions
Great insight thanks
Man, you CAN change Pask wargear, this makes him one of the best units in codex, if not the best. He's definitely higher than B tier
Punisher cannon with -1 ap
@@BAGELMENSK you can't give tank ace to Pask
This I did not know. Might put him in A tier then. Still can't give him a tank ace but I guess I just had a case of the dumb
OMG Thanks guys!! Do this to every faction pls Thank You!!!
Gr8 content. Can't wait for more. As a new player is fantastic for me
Love the Nintendo heavy BGM. I think I heard the Wii store, a gen 3 pokemon city and Mario party 1 main menu
Personally, Tallarn storm lord with veteran squads embarked, it’s open topped so 20 models can fire while protected by it. Sure no invuln and could use tank ace to make it receive benefits or not. But important thing is the stratagem ambush. You can put this in ambush and put on any battlefield edge with over 40 infantry ready to depart. Idk just a fun little gag
as I was watching and listening to the music, is that the music that plays in Tarrey Town in botw?
Damn Hell Hounds, they're too fargile!
Officer of the fleet is shit in Guard but B plus-ish in Scions. Allowing your Valks to re-roll 1's when they usually hit on 3's in hover mode is pretty tasty. And with the Greater Good Tempestus strategem, his strafing run ability can be picked from 18'' of any Scions unit with a vox.
Great video thank you :)
I don't suppose you could do a quick summary of dkok, i know you said no fw but they look to be coming into standard AM ;)
I shall now argue for a good situation for the wyrdvane psykers because I think they can be pretty neat.
You can put them, a primaris psyker, and an inquisitor into a valkyrie and in turn 1 drop a decent mortal wound bomb on the table, all it takes is 1CP to use the psychic conclave stratagem and make 1 primaris psyker and some wyrdvanes cumulatively perform 4 psychic manifestations and both gain +2 to their rolls while knowing up to 3 different powers + smite. If you're willing to splash out and take 6 of the wyrdvanes they get D6+4 for their manifestations which is an auto-smite that can't perils, and for the primaris psyker those tantalising but risky warp charge 7 powers become effectively warp charge 5, and you can super smite on a roll of a 9+ instead of an 11+.
Psychic maelstrom is mortal wound output that can pick out characters regardless of screening, terrifying visions makes inquisitors castigation power (which can also pick characters) much easier to activate, and you can get up to 3 smites in addition for between 134 and 158 points (naked malleus inquisitor with 2 manifestations trait + 1 primaris psyker + 3 to 6 wyrdvantes). This little bomb can be just what you need to answer certain units that are basically impossible to deal with conventionally and with a +2 to manifest it gives you the upper hand when psychic denies are available. From mental maths and assuming all casts go off this little combo will drop average 10 ish mortal wounds and can be basically anywhere on the map out of a valkyrie. 4 these mortal wounds can also go on any character within 18", bolster this up with a little conventional sniping and you've got an apothecary removal tool.
So yea D tier conventionally, but you don't take them conventionally, you take them to be a 24 or 48 point addition to a primaris psyker and quadruple the combined psychic output, more if you take the boost to your test into account. With the way the meta is going now with low wound count high invul units everywhere, mortal wounds are waaaay more valuable than ever so I think it can definitely be worth it. You can also just start with them on the ground and spend the 1CP to buff the primaris psyker to cast both both nightshroud and psychic barrier on 4+ and have the 24 points of wyrdvanes deploy scramblers in your own deployment zone while out of sight, they're actually cheaper action monkeys than servitors and can roid up a psyker for 1CP, what's not to like?
Up next time - The harridan is dope, don't even @ me
i have no idea what any of this stuff means. but i love warhammer, imperial guard, and bricky so i will subscribe
I would love one on the Custodies
hey can you do one of these for the new death guard codex?
So sad for the Baneblade.. and I have just about finished painting mine.. How many points should it be you think? 350p bare?
Inb4 watching: if the Krieg Boys aren't #1, someone's getting the shovel.
No forgeworld 😢
Bricky be a man after my own heart with the love of the guard
So, im starting guard and i wanted to ask, has the commisar not having the officer keyword if he has the warlord trait that allows him to issue orders been changed? if not i think a commisar conscript combo would be pretty neat, 120 shots, 9 leadership, sure hitting on 5s and wounding on 5s aswell (unless deamons, eldar, guard, cults and other 3T factions in which case its 4+) but its still pretty cool. If you run a custom regiment with the benefit to cover unless advanced you have a 30 wound ball with 4+ save, add an inquisitor for a 5+ invul and maybe add a company commander if you have the custom regiment of -1 ap if close to a commander, support the commander with some veterans or basic infantry so his orders aren't wasted and boom, a 30 man ball of hitting on 5s, 4+ save, 5+ invul, ap1, 120 shots not counting the veterans/infantry thats there to support the commander. If you really want to annoy your enemy add bullgryns and whenever the enemy tries to kill your conscripts use 1 cp for the -1 to hit if bullgryns are closer and 1 additional cp for +1 to save giving them 3+ saves. Pretty pog if i do say so myself.
Loving the pokemon in the background
Yarrick is worth his weight in gold for a Tempestus Scion air cav. army. His re-roll 1's bubble frees up so many orders for other things (even good with the Lions WL trait doing the same). My Kappic force with Laurels means I'm getting off the equivalent of 3 orders on one unit since I'm gaining up to two orders 50% of the time without wasting one for Take Aim. That means a lot more First Rank Fire or Elimination Protocol Sanctioned.
Please do this for every faction
I need this!!!!
Can Baneblade be compared with Imperial Knight? Cuz i bought Canis Rex recently, and now searching for some infantry support for it
I want a deathstrike missile launcher, the pure joy and maniacle laughter you get when you launch it are worth all the strategic setbacks that you take to put it on the table.
As an aside, what are your thoughts on a leman Russ squadron with while we stand we fight as a secondary.
Great video, I hope you do forge world tier list later.
please make more tier lists!!
I unknowingly had stardew running minimized in window mode on the main menu screen while I watched this... the music synched up surprisingly well.
I think this tier list shows a lot about Bricky's playstyle and how the dice check peeps play in general. They're all really focused on objectives and secondaries, which I mean they're amazingly important.
This man is a Drop Troopers commander through and through. Like everything he likes is Alpha strikey or designed to be able to hit the enemy turn one.
The Leman is far less fragile if you run them as Valhallans, due to them not degrading till they're on their last couple wounds.
The real strength of the Leman is it's cheap and hits like a truck. I'm not gonna do a big rant post but go check out goonhammer and 1d4chan tactica to see how to use Lemans effectively.
Tank commanders are just better though but you got that 3 limit. Good luck my fellow treadheads
Good use of the Mario Party menu music.... Sweet sweet nostalgia
i cant stress this enough, CONSCRIPTS DO NOT SUCK
Putting 20 men on your home objective then using your normal men to grab objectives yeah they dont suck
@@Kingofsea7591 you can give them a 2+ save or a 4++ save
Look at them as a single 30 wound model and you'd absolutely take it, they are a fucking quagmire to grind through and if they can lock terminators off an objective for 1 or 2 turns then they have served their purpose. Given how tough you can make them they absolutely CAN do that and if they take even a single terminator with them then it's BASICALLY amazing
@@GheyForGames and how do you do that
@@Baconom inquisitor malleus 5++ ability plus astropath +1 to saves ability
You're welcome in advance ;)
For 5pts you can put Track Guards on your hellhound to make it move max speed no matter the wounds. With the flamers in shooting and overwatch I feel they are fine. The explode is quite fine
just a few quick corrections for ya,
Straken is a Catachan so he also benefits from +1 str, so his attacks are S7
Infantry are now 5.5 points not 5.1 each
Pask can take any loadout, (I normally give him the plasma cannon and hold him back)
You missed ba few additional abilities for the master of ordinance and officer with the air strike and artillery barrage abilities
Hellhounds blow on a 4+
Manticores HK missiles are also flat 6 if you take full payload
The taurox prime with gattling cannon is hard S tier for Infantry clearing with LL imo
Otherwise great video, keep it up, proud of you
I had to double check to make sure I heard the super mario galaxy home base music lmao, it's perfect.
I really enjoy that video, thank you, can you make the same whit other factions?
I like the presentation of the tier list, but I am curious as to where the information comes from. Is it just your own personal opinion on the units?
Regardless, it was a nice video altogether and hope to see more like it in the future.
Also what I like todo with games with friends is I have two demolishers with dozer blades and a muilty melta and that's it just drive them down there throat and blow shit up sense they play chaos cultists and necro with just a seaaaaaaa of guardsmen to protect it. To much fun
Iron hand Straken and the ministorum priest have different abilities so their +1 attack stack on Catachans. 3 ST4 melee attacks for a 5 point model is great.
You're going to change that rating on the Commissars after the Drukhari codex is out. I bet you a dollar.
19:05 Hellhounds are great for Tallarn!!
What's the music at the end from? Sounds like some Viva Pinata type stuff lol
Correction: We lost “Emperor’s Wrath” artillery company. Emperor’s Fist is for tanks.
Emperor's Fist is for Leman Russell. We still have Emperor's Wrath for Basilisks, Wyverns, and Manticores
More tier lists!
a fun thing you can do with full payload manticores is put a hunter killer missile on it with flat 6 damage
Yay Bricky!
Someone correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe Straken is limited to a Catachan army, Similar to Creed being exclusive to Cadia.
But also, due to being Catachan Straken benefits from +1 strength from "Brutal Strength"
What do you people think the new Guard Codex should have? I'm curious to see what other Guard players want/expect.
amm pask is able to take a demolisher cannon sponsors hunter killer misile and basically all of that he dont have any restriction into that
what is more the common load for 8 was with punisher cannon
As a fellow Imperial Guard player for over a 12 years ( from 2006 to 2018 when I stopped playing, mosty because of lack of time ), this list definietly brings back some memories. Few adnotation :
"Fun but overcosted" is basicly a IG anthem at this point :P .
Calling guard fragile is like calling Space Marine stronger than average human - true but also compleatly misses the scale of the issue :P . If you are playing horde, you might as well just bring showel to remove models from board en masse.
So regular Ogryns still suck balls ? Well, good to know some things never change :P .
"Meta is marine heavy" . Brother, metagame is ALWAYS ( with *very few* exceptions in whole history of the game ) overcrowded by some flavour of power armour, be it boys in cyan blue, red, silver or spikes :P . Space Marines are GW favourite child (and income source :P ), they always be relevant is some form.
1:45 - ^^
anyone remember the medusa battery from 6th ed? god that was so much better than a basilisk...will never forget the day i learned about it and asked how to make one the store owner for my local GW took a hacksaw and took half the barrel off my basilisk
Bricky my friend, u forgot the crusaders, they get a solid buff, they get 16 price p/m , now the miracles u can choose wat u get , no more rolling the d6 ther get power swords and storm shield for a solid 3+/4+ i love it
Anyone know what the background music is? Especially in the later half
