30k Tactica: See but Don't be Seen

This is a tactical article and while the title says 30k it applies to 40k just as well. In fact I play more games with my Templars versus 40k armies than I do versus other 30k armies. I feel that 2250 points is a good level for Horus Heresy armies than say 1850 points which is typical for 40k so my opponents get to field even more units.

While I commonly refer to my army as Templars its Legion is Imperial Fists which I think is one of the more tactical armies in 30k as they tend to be a jack of all trades versus a master of any one specific thing. Surprisingly enough Imperial Fists also lend themselves well to melee which just happens to be one of my favorite aspects of the game. There are a couple of signature units that gives the army its Templar theme - namely Sigismund and his Templar Brethren. That's how 30k armies work for the Legion Astartes... You have your basic units available to any Legion then each Legion has its own unique units which are specialized such as the two I just listed.

My army is highly specialized overall with a just a few basic units. 30k is overall inherently balanced and while there are some very powerful units you always pay in points for what you get. The Primarchs are a good example - while they are powerhouses they are too many points to field in a 2000 point army if you want to be competitive and tend to require even more points invested to be able to transport them where you need them most... So you don't tend to see them all that often. On the other hand in 40k a somewhat equivalent unit would be something along the lines of Fateweaver or a tooled up daemon prince, both of which are quite common.

I'm not going to give out a lot of specific tactical examples such as unit X versus unit Y... This is more of a philosophical article. My Templar army is a small elite army with the focus on melee over shooting. My army does have some shooting though which can be quite critical - especially versus 40k armies such as Eldar and Tau. My worst nightmare is a grav heavy Space Marine army but there are solid counters to it such as null deployment. There are some units which must be dealt with at range in order to engage them such as Eldar jetbikes. My army uses a combination of reserves and hard as nails units which start the game deployed on the table. One of the main strategic objectives is to lure the opponent into over committing key units then catching them off guard. If you visualize a square, while it has four long sides, you must present only an edge until you can assault then you present a big wall.

A key to this tactical style of play is to survive the first turn mainly intact while close enough to enemy units they can potentially engage the opponent by the second turn which is typically as good as it gets by 40k standards with a few notable exceptions depending upon whether or not you play by the pure rules. Therefore using terrain to your advantage, such as blocking enemy line of sight is critical. On the rare occasions when facing off versus another meleecentric army its actually much easier tactically since the opponent must move towards you.

Two units I run which fit well into my tactical theme are the Knight-Errant joined to a squad of teleporting terminators and a Leviathan dreadnaught arriving from reserve in a dreadnaught drop pod. Both are very hard to kill the turn they arrive and can dish out a lot of damage in subsequent turns. It's interesting to note both that terminators are much more competitive in 30k as opposed to 40k plus the ability to deep strike in 30k tends to be much more limited. These units apply a lot of pressure to the opponent early on which in turn can take the heat off of other less survivable units.

One of the keys to this style of play which plays best to assault is to have at least three interchangeable units that can quickly deal out lots of damage. The opponent can at best neutralize one while the other two are able to engage the enemy and get stuck in. This is the opposite approach to fielding a Death Star - your army is de-centralized versus being centralized. Optimally every unit gets engaged which can produce geometrical results... That is the more you can engage the enemy the less they can shoot you. You are doing what you do best while preventing your opponent from doing the same.

So there you have it... While the assault phase is not all that popular now it can still dominate if you havevthevright tools and tactics.

Baphomet almost done now

Still need to sculpt energy tendrils on his warp board and paint them.

30k Unit Review: Knight-Errant

Black Blow Fly here with a new 30k article to add some spicy spice to your dull lives... Heh (j/k). This week I'll be discussing the merits of a new unit introduced in the recent Book 6 which was released not too long ago. I'm talking about the new Knight-Errant which is a very special type of independent character somewhat similar to a Consul but very unique. The Knight-Errant seems to have been overlooked by the 30k community for whatever reason which I find interesting and will discuss towards the end of this review.

Now before I start my review I'd like to offer a sincere apology to the poster Garro over on the awesome Heresy30k forums for not initially giving him the credit he deserves in my last 30k article which was basically a cut and paste of his fantastic review of the new Legion Astartes book that was just recently released by Forge World... Shame shame on me. Q_Q

Now not an excuse but to shed some light I first saw it posted in a local private HH FB group late last Thursday evening following an intense game versus Iron Hands... At the time I was rushed to complete the article (1 AM) and get a little sleep before work and to be honest I don't remember seeing his name mentioned. Unfortunately it didn't dawn on me that I should have inquired who had put it all together... Lesson learned.

The New 30k Awesome
What's interesting to me is the Knight-Errants could have possibly been a precursor to Grey Knights... But I'm not here to dwell on the background and time is most precious. The Knight-Errant is an independent character that has a laundry list of special rules (which I'll cover), can be upgraded to a level 2 Librarian and has lots of awesome war gear to choose from when building this 30k bad boy.

The Knight-Errant comes stock with artificer armor and an Iron Halo for the good ole 2+/4++. He has two wounds, WS5, BS5 plus access to some rather nifty war gear such as the Narthecium... So yes he can pull double duty as a medic saving some points since you won't be needing a Primus Medicae anymore. He also has access to a jump pack which I use and attach him to my terminators (Imperial Fists)which always arrive via Deep Strike. One of his more powerful rules is as follows:

By Falsehood Cloaked:
Knights-Errant may deploy via Deep Strike, and when doing so does not roll to scatter. On the controlling player’s turn that he deploys, and throughout the opposing player’s following player turn, any shots made against a Knight-Errant having deployed in this manner are made as Snap Shots.

The jump pack helps to make sure this nasty combined unit will reach melee the following turn after they have arrived from reserve. He also has both Precision Shot and Precision Strike plus Preferred Enemy (Traitor). There's a lot of synergy here and the Knight-Errant can definitely buff most any loyalist army.

Should you decide to field a Knight-Errant keep in mind another one of his special rules...

Oath of Moment:
Fielding a Knight-Errant dramatically alters the victory conditions for the side that includes the model, for the presence of such a fated individual is a sure indication that the mission is of dire import indeed. At the beginning of the game, at the same time that Warlord Traits and psychic powers are determined, an Oath of Moment must be secretly noted down for each model with this special rule. The note is revealed at the end of the game when Victory points are being tallied. Each Oath of Moment represents an objective which that Knight-Errant must achieve, chosen from the list below.

There are several secret objectives to choose from... If you successfully achieve his objective then you score bonus victory points - but if you fail to do so then those points are awarded to your opponent. I typically choose the lowest risk which only awards one bonus victory point and is easy to achieve if you should really need it. This also helps to curb the Knight-Errant's awesomeness.

Special Characters
There are some really neat special characters to choose from including Garro originally a member of the Death Guard and the former Ultramarine Librarian Tylos Rubio. There's also an unnamed special character The Nemean Reaver whose quite the nasty and rocks the T5. I believe he was once a Dark Angel which makes a lot of sense when you look at his unbelievably awesome stats. I'm very happy with my surfer Knight-Errant but these guys can be a lot of fun as well. Note that Tylos has a force sword which can be very handy versus armies such as Admech... Especially since he can juice up his strength when fighting in melee.

Fielding a Knight-Errant
30k is quite different from 40k in that this community is much more narrative driven as opposed to simply fielding the latest and greatest douchebag Internet GT winning army you copied from some neck beard forum. So yes there's good reason to find a suitable theme to your army so that it makes sense from a background perspective. Of course having a psyker onboard is always a good thing but for some armies it might stick out a bit like the proverbial sore thumb. Obviously a Knight-Errant isn't going to be making any friends with the traitor side so best not to even think about going there.

With the advent of the Council of Nikkea a lot of players will say fielding a Librarian in most any loyalist army is a big no no but I think a case can be easily made for the Knight-Errant, especially if you're prone to fighting traitors and Chaos daemons... Heh ! And remember fielding the Knight-Errant as a psyker is just an option. ; )

Conclusion
At the end of the day it's your army after all and you'll be wanting something your friends will enjoy playing against on the table tops. I've had a lot of fun fielding the Knight-Errant and he always does some work. Mine is originally a Word Bearer so that makes for some really fun modeling, converting and painting. He has his place beside my Templars and is always a blast. If this sounds like something you might like then give it a go... You'll be glad you did too.

Using upgrade kits for your Horus Heresy model (conversions)

Here's a short form review of the Ultramarines upgrade sprue which has some really awesome bits for your 30k Marines.

I've included photos of two helmets, a chest plate and a gladius (short sword).

I don't always bother removing the icons (e.g., Ultramarines) as you can mask them when painting your converted models and this helps save time.

Pro Tip
Don't use resin swords and axes as they will invariably bend which can be fixed but is a pain. I only use plastic power weapons now... Makes your gaming life a lot easier !

More work on Knight Errant

I got in some work on my KE this evening which helps to show where the color scheme is going - still lots of work left to complete.
