@@CanYouRollaCrit do you plan to make these for all factions at some point? I learned a lot about what to expect when running them as well as how to beat them lol
So far being against Intercession squad, my advice on how to beat the is that you don't. However, it has been an awesome Kill Team to get a new friend onboard to the game! Super simple and strong.
more episodes like this please!! interesting, informative, and no one else is really doing them. i've seen a few but you are organized and concise. Thanks!!!
I really enjoyed this video! It’s a great idea for a series. Watching batreps and tier lists is great but stuff like this which tells you how to weigh decisions and what to consider is so so helpful for players who need practice.
Man you would have to be crazy to run all assault intercessors with the duelist and rending tactics. To do something so insane you'd probably have to do worship some kind of God of Blood that makes furniture out of skulls. That person would be pretty insane for sure
@@Megalith555 i made a list of all assault intercessors using the dueller and aggressive chapter tactics. I also worship some kind of blood God that makes furniture out of skulls.
Awesome content, awesome format. Please do a series for all top kill teams. Intercession squad was my first kill team and you absolutely nailed it with the analysis, nothing to add nothing to take out.
At 11:30 you were giving examples of shooting 4 times in one turning point (bolter discipline, overwatch, then wrath of vengeance). Just to note, you CANNOT use the aux grenade launcher for overwatch like you did.
@@CanYouRollaCrit 🤔"This weapon cannot be selected for Overwatch actions. Each time this weapon is selected to make a shooting attack with, select one of the profiles below to use" So unless he throws them at the opponent like baseballs he can't use the grenade profiles. Skhmt is right
Nice video, I really struggle against Intercessors with my Corsairs unless my Gunner survives and can take them out one by one, they can just shrug off most of what my other operatives can do
Good video. The Auspex does not stop being concealed in cover though. That's why it specifically mentions that they can't retain dice for being in cover. That wording means they still count as being in cover, and are therefore not a valid target to shoot if concealed and you don't have a vantage point.
I'm just gonna copy/paste: if you're behind light cover and requiring heavy cover to obscure you from vantage points, Auspex stops that making safe light cover spots, unsafe
@@CanYouRollaCrit Oh, I am fully aware, but after the quote “So what the auspex does, is it allows you to pick an enemy operative and go, ‘you can never be concealed this turning point’”, I felt like it could be a trap for newer players that don’t understand the intricacies of the game. As it could be a very misleading statement for them if they take it at face value. So I left this here for them.
Suprised to see AI heavy lists vs elites. I always bring two intercessors with scopes vs elites and they do a lot of work. Admittedly bringing two scopes and blessed bolts doesn't leave enough points for an auspex
This was a great video. While Starstriders are not great. I love the models. How about a video on getting the most out of them. Same for the Hunter Clade.
I've been playing a narrative campaign with intercession into my buddies breachers and just was getting waxed. Glad to hear thats supposed to be a rough match up for me lol.
Can they shoot 4 times? the recent FAQ commentary - "Action restrictions still apply. So with Bolter Discipline in mind, if the operative has already performed two Shoot actions during that activation, you could not use Wrath of Vengeance to perform a third Shoot action." am I missing something?
@@CanYouRollaCrit please read the link for the designer’s commentary for the Wrath of Vengeance tactical ploy : www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/gHXjJhAJeYSusf63.pdf
Why not a "How to beat Pathfinders" vid? It's been bothering me that in the Killzone Podcast, one of the guys off-handedly says "yea, they can just crumble." But no one has explained that, and I have yet to actually watch it happen.
Stacking buffs onto the Leader's bolt weapon is hilarious. Lethal 5+ on bolt rifle and +1 damage to stalker pattern are optimal for your basic dudes. Sure it is Heavy with no way to mitigate it, but Stalker pattern with +1 damage and built in Shoot twice is basically like having a heavy gunner.
WRATH OF VENGEANCE lets them do a "free Shoot action". "Bolter Discipline" gives them the ability to do "two Shoot actions". So max two Shoot actions and if it dies it can only use WRATH OF VENGEANCE if it had only fired once. Max 2 + 1 Overwatch shoots (and not 3 + 1) or am I missing something?
@@CanYouRollaCrit Overwatch is not a Shoot action. It allows you to make a shooting attack. Maybe the thing is "during your activation". That would make sense but that would also mean that free "Dash" actions a lot of teams can do at the start of the turn don't count and the models can do more Dashes during their activation. Is that correct?
Simply put, they, novitiates, pathfinders, Veteran Guardsmen, Hunter Clade and Harlies and some other stuff out there is up for a nerf to avoid powercreep with other factions
You read the Auspex wrong, i think. The Auspex dont ignore concealed and cover, just obscured (from heavy cover). So an Enemy in light cover with a conceal order cant be shot even with auspex.
Very nice channel i just discovered , sorry if i comment all over the place but, can a free action be done if the agent have already used that kind of action ? for exemple can i use angel of death on an assault intercessor who have already fight twice during the turning point ? the "free" word confuse me because i know actions cannot be done multiple times unless its said otherwise and the dude has already fight twice. I mean is it free like at no cost but following the actions limitation rule or a free full bonus action bypassing the rules ? thx and like i said great channel for improving competitive play skills. cheers
Which teams have roughly even win rates (50 %) against intercessors? A friend and I want to get into playing kill team and i would like to go for intercessors. Which teams would be good for him regarding balanced outcomes of our matches?
Love the video! Actually abit of info in there on how to better run as a intercessor... Still not sharing it though! No one shell know the tricks on how to beat me. My intercessors are currently 13-0 running dueller and durable. I would like to keep them that way thanks lol
Great "tutorial"! But unit cannot shot 4 times in turn. Q: If an INTERCESSION SQUAD operative is incapacitated during its activation, can I use the Wrath of Vengeance Tactical Ploy freely, or do action restrictions still apply? A: Action restrictions still apply. So with Bolter Discipline in mind, if the operative has already performed two Shoot actions during that activation, you could not use Wrath of Vengeance to perform a third Shoot action.
That only applies during their own activation. This is for when an Intercession warrior is killed during their own activation via guard or other things that can kill them during their own activation Read it again "IF IT IS INCAPACITATED DURING ITS ACTIVATION"
Dang so out of all the teams your veterans asked you yo put out a how to beat for a kill team ranked A rather than pathfinder, gellarpox, breachers that were ranked S by you?

Most people probably watching this video is trying to know how to beat the Intercessors. While I (an Intercessor Squad player) watched this video so I could prevent others exploiting Intercessor Squad weaknesses HAHAH
I just hope they dont nerf them or legionaries in the next balance. They are the only 2 elite teams that are truly viable and competitive. With all the teams with multiple plasmas and such even then they are one good shooting role away from being crippled. Please GW leave these 2 elite teams alone!

I beat them with Elucidian Starstriders. High roll and always save from the hit. XD
Ah very lucky. Starstriders usually always lose to them due to having basically no damage high output
Hope you can come out the video how to use Elucidian Starstriders because I love this team.
An opponent accidentally misplaced a unit and I one shotted him with an elucidian archeotech beam. He never recovered.

No that's incorrect, Wrath let's them do an additional free shoot action, just only on death

You read the Auspex wrong, i think. The Auspex dont ignore concealed and cover, just obscured (from heavy cover). So an Enemy in light cover with a conceal order cant be shot even with auspex.
I meant it ignores obscuring for people relying on that to keep them safe while in light cover and concealed
