Can't go wrong with a tank commander with demolisher cannon, as i've seen you say elsewhere in the comments. But i heartily suggest at least one Leman Russ Exterminator, Withering Hail is a powerful ability, especially against things like big bugs with the +1 ap boost to other units shooting at its target. I understand you guys are playing for rule of cool and fun, but theres no reason not to play into your armies meta at least a little. Plus that autocannon is a pretty good take all comers weapon just on its own
Ben is going to have a great time with the new Genestealers, just built them for Kill Team and the sculpts are fantastic. But why does he have a map of Florida?
Just started my new-year new-army myself. Last year was my first year of Warhammer and I was torn between Elves and Sisters but the trump card was I found an insane Sisters lot for 700$ CAD for just under 2800 points of sisters so I couldn't turn down that deal. I actually don't super enjoy their new horde style of play so I went ahead and started my Drukhari army with a combat patrol, pair of Venom and Druzhar yesterday.
You should try grab an Artillery piece like the Medusa or Basilisk its a really good poke tool for Guard and a great control tool to keep any army on their toes.
My new year, new army is Eldar (all varieties) But I'm also working on an Imperial Guard (Krieg and Cadians). Craftworlders: based of the Fusion Suit in Metroid Krieg: based off Clone Trooper Galactic Marines Cadians: Based off the Helldivers.
So, you got 2 Rogal Dorns that means you need a tank commander leman russ to order them around because orders are good. 20 Cadians is nothing, you need atleast 50-60 infantry, it doesn't have to be all cadians and horses count as infantry. Get Ursula Creed or Lord Solar and attach it with your command squad to a infantry squad to order your army around because orders are good. The rest of you points you get as much cavalry, sentinels, artillery, tanks or orders as you can get. It is also important that your command squad have a vox, otherwise the orders will not reach your troops and that is bad because orders are good.
id suggest lots of foot guard so you have the appearance of a tide of men fighting the fight. maybe a combat patrol so the mix of foot, artillery and a mech.
Super happy to see your new army journey Lloyd. Congratulations on the platform growth and thank you for being a mentor to me in the painting space. Side note: though I don't play guard, tanks are really solid in 10th right now. Tank commanders and another piece of artillery of your choosing can go a long way. You already have some Krieg, Lord Solar and Kasirkin so I think you'll be good on infantry. Cant wait wait to see them painted and good luck 🤘
As a guard player since 2nd edition, you are gonna want artillery. If you can get your hands on a pair of the Cadian Artillery Kits and make x2 Bombast cannons you would be good to go. They come in the next Battleforce or Cadia Stands.
@@ThePaintingCoach yes indeed. The sentinel is a great choice if you are going to run any artillery at all. Leman Russ exterminators are excellent as well. But I know your trying to stick with the xmas box etc.
@@ThePaintingCoach kinda makes the video disingenuous, shouldve just cut the whole roll out of the video and just said it was a "secret santa" kind of thing
@@ThePaintingCoach I did thanks i will be watching the rest of the series! my vote is for a leman russ punisher, its gatling cannon has 20 strength 6 attacks, damage 1, handy for those pesky bugs
@@ThePaintingCoach The best I've found is from a video called "Parade at Rykad Minoris and Ambush" where it gives you a 360ish of the troopers. Great scheme, already doing two testers.
good guard list 3 dorns, then Lord solar with a command squad and a infanty squad (one big group) pick up a Combat patron, so you have 3 extra squads and a sentinel, and the rest have fun with it the rest what you want
Really great video Lloyd, good to see a “real life” journey to 2,000pt game with some mates!
Thanks Keil!
Ogryns. Fun and chunky
Thanks! I'll check them out!
Awesome collaboration lads and look forward to seeing the rest of the series!
Cheers!
I'm a simple guy. I see Ben Mudge and I subscribe!
Thanks!
I am proud to say that I only have 20 hearthkyn warriors left to paint in my 2024 NYNA challenge
Awesome 👍🏻

I like the look of that bad boy too - currently thinking about which Leman Russ to use - deffo having a tank commander with demolisher
What brushes do you use?
Rosemary and Co Series 33 - should be a link in description

That is where he proposed to his now wife!

i think some bulgrins for the front lines to hold off the genestealers
Thanks for the tip

smelling the plastic... I thought it's just me... :P
My new year new army plan WAS a TOW army, possibly High Elves
Buuuuuut i cant even get any high elves, so ive just bought Ushoran
Oh nice! I have a tutorial for him too!

Cheers! Yeah I think I will go for a tank commander with demolisher cannon and also lord solar
@@ThePaintingCoach Demolisher is a solid choice, Exterminator is also good and the battle cannon is a classic.
Because orders are good 🫡
order ARE good
Did someone say orders are good?
Give Nork Deddog a try
Will check him out
I’m doing my part!!!!!
Nice 👍👍👍
Transports for guards, they are slow and squidgy
Cheers
The kasrkin in that gray and red colour scheme will look incredible!
Hope so!

Thanks Niko! I do like the idea of a tank commander with a demolisher cannon!
@@ThePaintingCoach Then dew it. I've personally always liked the basilisk myself but do what you like and will be fun to play on the table
This will be a fun journey
I hope so!
Good rule of thumb for the guard, screen with troops, damage with tanks and then soften up with artillery
Thanks!
Oh and of course infantry is king at getting those all important objectives

I have two bombards - already built haha! I guess they need a scout sentinal too to negate the modifiers?
@@ThePaintingCoach yes indeed. The sentinel is a great choice if you are going to run any artillery at all. Leman Russ exterminators are excellent as well. But I know your trying to stick with the xmas box etc.
Thanks - I'll have a play around
You rolled a one, can see it on my tv
I always roll 1's.......

Another 2 fell for the marketing scheme 🏳️
