When you were talking about our high capacity transports you forgot about the Stormlord! Lots of your tactics are ones I would love to use with a Stormlord but at least here in the UK with it being terrain heavy you can barely deploy any baneblade never mind move it.
Gota say your videos are great brother Cadian, your painting is outstanding and your tactica sound, and I love the way you prioritise honourable play and narrative through your passion for this great hobby. Please keep up the great work, its inspiring and a vehement reflection of our communities love for the guard, the Emperors true finest
Great video, my man! I'm excited to try one of these out. Not a super competitive idea, but I really want to fill this thing with 20 Catachan, led by Straken and Inquisitor Coteaz, and a few Bullgryn, all for a hilarious melee beat stick driving up the table. I'm sure it'll all die quickly, but the idea of beating my opponents up with an actual melee guard threat highly amuses me. 😁 Keep up the great work!!!
bro you doing ok? i just found your channel and so far its great! keep up the awesome content!! also... Cadia shall stand forever! I have a fairly large 8th cadian army and im very proud to be an astra militarum player!@@CadianSergeantSteel
One combo I like is a 10 man tempestus scion squad with a command squad that has the drill Commander enhancement and a primaris psyker thrown in for full rerolls to hit on objectives, rerolls to wound from the crassus with sustained 1 critical hits on 5+ with first rank fire second rank fire and take aim from the command rod. Expensive but fun to roll that many dice.
It's clearly used to ensure it does its job of transport without falling to enemy fire, because you can't afford to not get your troops moved up. Especially if you want them somewhat together.
These are becoming a necessity with the current rules in my opinion, as Guard is best played with huge blobs that leaders can stack their buffs and orders upon. The Crassus is the final piece of the puzzle as it provides protected mobility and additional firepower to the blob.
I bought a second Crassus just for that reason. I may run two Crassus, 2x 20 man Cadian blobs with Command Squad and Castellans, and 2x 3 Ogryn squads. Two big cans of OC and whoop ass driving around with wounding buffs with the Crassus on key turns.
@@CadianSergeantSteel That sounds good, my plan is similar but instead of Castellans I plan on using Primaris Psykers for that invuln save from shooting. It’s probably not as good point for point but my Castellan is already attached to my Kasrkin and I just wanted to give my Psykers a chance.
@@CadianSergeantSteel the official GW website says its currently unavailable for me. Been lime that for 2-3ish plus months. Been keeping an eye out for one.
@@CadianSergeantSteel hmm I was wondering if it would be a good charge blocker. As I’m running 120 kriegsman with 3 marshals, 3 psykers, 3 command squads, lord Solar and 3 Crassus’s. I think you can see where I’m going here
So, run a Crassus with nothing but scout move capable squads and characters so it can scout move as well. That will make a really big surprise at an event. 😂
Oh crud 😅 I thought I deleted all references to the Scout move out of the video. Unfortunately, since it does not have Dedicated Transport keyword, you cannot give the Crassus Scout move.
Unfortunately for orders when disembarking from a transport, the orders are issued at the end of the phase, meaning movement will already have concluded and so Move, Move, Move wouldn't have any effect.
One Unit in a Crassus= 1. Platoon Squad a Sarg, 2 dudes and a heavy weapon =5 1. Infantry Squad 2 Sarg, 14 dudes, 2 heavy weapons =20 1. Ogryn Bodyguard =3 1. Cog-boi =1 1. Walking Plazma Cannons (servitors) =4 Overall= 33 two less then 35.
Yeah. I just did a couple very quick audio dubs during the Bullgryn / Ogryn discussion. It was sloppy but I didn't want a lot of downtown because this was meant to be paired with the Chimera video 😒 hope it's okay
All good, thanks! Just wanted to check I wasn't going insane, I was binge-watching some of your vids earlier trying to figure out where to start with Guard lol
I can’t find anywhere where it says the transport capacity is 36? I’ve looked on the official app and on BattleScribe but both still say 35. Where can I find it being 36? I run a full ogryn/bullgryn army with 3 Crassus tanks so this would be huge if it is 36.
Mf. I totally thought this was the one that had ALL the firing deck. Now it makes more sense. This looks like a mech guard unit with ONE of these... cuz ffs can you even afford to fill two!?

The title of the video should’ve been in all caps, to do otherwise is an insult to the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
Fair 🤣 but also... it has undergone an official name change. It's now just "Crassus".

Oh I'll get to the Stormlord 😉 It deserves its own video

I've just bought one from Warhammer World. Thanks for your review. I can't wait to build and paint it.

Keep up the great work!!!
If you get one, hope you love it as much as I do!
Throw in a bunch of Kasirkin with Ursula and watch effective volume delete models
The Crassus has one function, to deliver an entire platoon of Guardsmen into the enemy lines.
I really like the idea of the sand bags around the top.
also also... your enthusiasm is contagious!!!!!
Thanks, dude! Really needed to hear that today.

The way the troops exit the rear is giving me a funny image. A bunch of these tranports unloading a crap ton of infantry.

Love it, I need two
Ok 3 ! 😜
I really like the Praetor. The Crassus's cousin that is a transport for death and not infantry.
Great video Cadian Sergeant Steel, thank you for it and your general content. :)
I really appreciate that 😃
love your vids man keep it up
Thank you so much! I needed to hear that today.

@@CadianSergeantSteelhow did you find one? I can't find any official ones for sale in the US.
@@Nate-uz8ih I just bought a second one straight from Games Workshop.
@@CadianSergeantSteel the official GW website says its currently unavailable for me. Been lime that for 2-3ish plus months. Been keeping an eye out for one.
Cadia stands!! Get those infantry to the front!!!
Amazing video. How wide is the CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT
Roughly 4 inches.
Also, thank you very much!
@@CadianSergeantSteel hmm I was wondering if it would be a good charge blocker. As I’m running 120 kriegsman with 3 marshals, 3 psykers, 3 command squads, lord Solar and 3 Crassus’s. I think you can see where I’m going here
@@obitomkenobi7758 I think it could definitely work that way!
@@obitomkenobi7758 also... I love the energy for this! Do it!

I really want to get a couple of these but im 90% sure it's going away when we get our codex
Is the Crassus in the Imperial Guard 10th edition index? I don't see it but I'm only looking on the Warhammer website.
It is in the Forge World Astra Militarum Index cards, not the regular Astra Militarum index. It's a separate set of PDFs in the downloads section.
And thats without the "Move! Move! Move!" order. The range can be even larger i believe.
Unfortunately for orders when disembarking from a transport, the orders are issued at the end of the phase, meaning movement will already have concluded and so Move, Move, Move wouldn't have any effect.
One Unit in a Crassus=
1. Platoon Squad
a Sarg, 2 dudes and a heavy weapon
=5
1. Infantry Squad
2 Sarg, 14 dudes, 2 heavy weapons
=20
1. Ogryn Bodyguard
=3
1. Cog-boi
=1
1. Walking Plazma Cannons (servitors)
=4
Overall= 33 two less then 35.
That sounds awesome!
will a dracoson work as a proxy for this?
It's similar in size although not as wide
21:50 Stormlord : 😢
That may be my next video 😁
@@CadianSergeantSteel It's my second favorite super heavy 🤩
Is this a reupload by any chance-?
Yeah. I just did a couple very quick audio dubs during the Bullgryn / Ogryn discussion. It was sloppy but I didn't want a lot of downtown because this was meant to be paired with the Chimera video 😒 hope it's okay
All good, thanks! Just wanted to check I wasn't going insane, I was binge-watching some of your vids earlier trying to figure out where to start with Guard lol
@etherealhawk thanks! The old one is unlisted now so hopefully no one will be finding it.
I can’t find anywhere where it says the transport capacity is 36? I’ve looked on the official app and on BattleScribe but both still say 35. Where can I find it being 36?
I run a full ogryn/bullgryn army with 3 Crassus tanks so this would be huge if it is 36.
Wait... it is 36 NOW... but it didn't use to be. When did the change happen?
They changed it in January and told no one. Try updating the app.
Its sad that GW hate forgeworld so if this glorious unit doesnt go to plastic its going to go away in the codex.
dibs if youre doing a give-away!!!!
Mmm.... want a Crassus. Hate Forgeworld!! DILEMA, DILEMA 😢😢 😊😊
these are really annoying on the table. I have only fought against them a few times. they are situational but get the job done.
I just ordered a second one 🤣 I'll have it ready after Adepticon.
Mf. I totally thought this was the one that had ALL the firing deck. Now it makes more sense.
This looks like a mech guard unit with ONE of these... cuz ffs can you even afford to fill two!?
also... FIRST!!
