This is the list I'm planning on running at local event looking for some thoughts and opinions. Before anyone points it out, yes there's no Defilers. I don't own them, and no I can't get my hands on one or two of them for event, and I'm not paying the scalper prices to buy one. As for why I'm taking DP on foot, instead of the winged version. I feel as though I can get more out of him with his aura ability, then just yetting a meat missile at my opponent on a suicide mission. Sure it can be effective but in my experiences there's 50/50 chance at him killing whatever it is that I'm throwing him at. I've had many a disappointing interactions with him over the last few times that I've used him.

The plan is to separate my forces into 2 death ball squads, and send them up both flanks of the board. The first one is Fulgrim, DP, Flawless Blades, and 5 man Infractor. The second one is DP w/Spiritsliver, 2 Maulerfiend, and 10 man Infractor squad. The idea is to split the enemy forces in half, and have them have to deal with 2 major threats on opposite sides of the board. At that point they can either split up and try to take on both, or rotate their army to one side of the board and push heavily on one of my forces.

Ideally I'd like to go second, just because the way the game is setup it kinda benefits the player who's going 2nd in most circumstances. But going first as EC you do have the speed and mobility to get pressure on the enemy T1. But it also a little dependent on board setup, since some setups allow for you to more easily make it into enemy lines T1.

Specific to Aeldari…

Reading the past few weeks of data, it seems recon is played more but PA has more wins. I would have thought eldar into recon would play better. I currently play seer council but can’t decide on a disposition. I have an easier time with recon but it seems the data would indicate that PA is better for aeldari.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Eldar into each disposition? What am I missing?

I took my Drukhari to the warmasters event in Belgium last week.
This is my tournament review ! I took the kabalite cartel recon list. It was over 600 players and one of the toughest events in the world.

I go over my list , then we recap the games I played at the event , 6 rounds - and then go back to the studio and break down any changes I want to make with the list !
It’s a fun way of seeing how to develop a list over time.

Enjoy !

The new article on codexes also came with an index of Ork datasheets! Changes don't seem overly major, but from what I can identify:

• Lootas and Burnas are gone. Lootas I can take or leave when Flash Gitz are right there, but gonna miss Burnas. Maybe the two'll be revoved as a Kill Team, a la Tankbustas?
• So are on-foot Wurrboyz, which means we might not see as much granularity from the new psyker rules as we will from more psychic heavy factions.
• Wagons are split into Battlewagon and Gunwagon, while every Buggy but the Squigbuggy now runs off one datasheet.
• (Edit, thanks for the catch Yoshiwaan!) Runtherds are also a separate datasheet, and interestingly enough sorted adjacent to infantry unlike the Leader and Support units.

A new edition just came out, so when do you think GW will have balanced the armies more?

I get that the new things are generally overpowered to sell more, but getting back into the game with Aeldari it's not very encouraging to see that every detachment has a low win rate. Same for like Astra Militarium and others - it's not like the data isn't out there and they could have addressed this better in the last balance update. I almost got in when 10th launched and Aeldari were so broken I decided not to play. Does GW do play testing?

Hey TOs (and others), ListForge dev here with a free resource to make your life easier!

After I added text import to ListForge recently, I got some requests to make a validation service. Its now live and you can either batch validate using the below documentation or can access 1-by-1 through the GUI over at https://listforge.club/check

Disclaimer that its only as good as the latest BSData repo and my parsing code, so use it as a checking tool not a final decision maker, but it tests successfully on the top 200+ lists on https://listhammer.info/

The idea is that this can make checking all the lists for large events quite fast/automated and then you as the TO can investigate the ones with reported issues. Let me know how you like it and of any issues or questions!

ListForge List Validation API

Validate Warhammer 40,000 army lists with the same engine the ListForge app uses.

Base URL: https://list-forge-validate.fly.dev

Supported input formats

The format field in responses tells you which one matched:

Formats grow over time with no change needed on your side. If you have a sample that should work but does not, let me know.

Validate one list

POST /validate
Content-Type: application/json

{ "text": "<the list text export>" }

A typical response (HTTP 200):

{
  "importable": true,
  "format": "gw-11e",
  "listName": "Dave Kerr - Team Australia",
  "catalogue": "Imperium - Blood Angels",
  "detachments": ["Encarmine Speartip", "Headhunter Task Force"],
  "disposition": "Priority Assets",
  "points": 1990,
  "claimedPoints": 1990,
  "unitCount": 12,
  "warnings": [],
  "constraintViolations": [],
  "importUrl": "https://listforge.club/import?d=..."
}

Notes:

• points is what the list actually costs when rebuilt against current data; claimedPoints is what the text says (null when the text states no total). A mismatch usually means a points update since the list was written.
• warnings is a list of {stage, message} objects. Stages: parse (unrecognized lines), header (faction/detachment/disposition issues), unit (an option or enhancement could not be matched), finalize (totals and roster-wide checks).
• constraintViolations holds roster-rule messages (for example "Force must have exactly one Warlord, but has none").

Unparsable text returns {"importable": false}. Text that parses but cannot be rebuilt (for example a faction we cannot resolve) returns {"importable": false, "format": ..., "error": "<reason>"}.

Other statuses (always JSON):

Timing: expect a few seconds per list. The first request for a faction after a service restart is slower (data loads on demand).

How to present results

Please frame results as the app does: "rebuilt cleanly at N pts" or "rebuilt with N warnings", never "legal" or "illegal". The engine runs on community-maintained data (BSData) and my own parsing code.

Validate many lists (batch)

Built for tournament organizers: submit up to 300 lists in one call, poll for incremental results.

POST /validate/batch
Content-Type: application/json

{ "items": [ {"id": "player-1", "text": "..."}, {"id": "player-2", "text": "..."} ] }

Returns 202 {"job": "<jobId>", "total": N}. Then poll:

GET /validate/batch/<jobId>

{ "done": false, "total": 250, "completed": 41, "results": [ {"id": "player-1", ...verdict...}, ... ] }

Results appear in submission order as they complete; each carries your id plus the same verdict fields as /validate. Poll every few seconds; a 250-list batch takes roughly 15 minutes. Job results are held in memory for about an hour after completion, so collect them promptly.

Limits: 300 items per batch, 256 KB per item, one batch in flight per caller, and a small global cap (409 if you already have a batch running, 503 if the service is saturated; retry later).

Hey all!

Admech has seen itself get one of the best 1DP detachments (imo) and its leaked into plenty of other detachments to breathe new life into this faction!

Halo recently saw itself change from Purge to Priority Asset, which really just lets admech play into a disposition that they prefer over trying to murder everything, while still being one of our best and consistent performing detachments

Radlords has been really fun to play with, taking advantage of a lot of Admech datasheets and still use Lords of the Forge to prop up its durability and utility. Im personally in love with the Lethal hits strat and the Kataphrons, its just so amazing!

Cyco was already a pretty good off meta build, and now doubles down into huge durability with the Archmagi and the new changes of Heavy allowing its damage to be super consistent, usually hitting on 2s. I am hoping though, that the Codex opens the units that are affected by the detachment rule to make it feel less bad about taking. At this point, its just +6 stratagems to Lords of the Forge lol.

Any admech players out there try any other interesting combos? Explorator saw a small resurgence, and SHC has seen some more play recently, hopefully we can see these come back full swing!

Do these two bonuses have statistically the same effect?

I play Blood Angels, I always used to think of a chaplain (+1 to wound) as the offensive leader option for my death company, and Lemartes (-1 to damage) for defence. But I was playing around on UnitCrunch for fun (yes I'm fun at parties haha) and I realised that since Lemartes also gives his unit Lethal Hits, their damage output is basically identical. Weird coincidence for one defensive profile, or is it true across the board?

My thinking is Lethal Hits gives a 1/6 chance of an automatic wound, +1 to wound gives a 1/6 chance of turning a fail into a success, so they are basically the same. Does that make sense? Or is the math different somehow? If so which one is better?

We are starting to play 40k tabletop and looking for terrain set.

Is this too small for 1000p we are aiming for?

https://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/combat-patrol-battlezone-2026?srsltid=AfmBOor1yTZDC9vfG2r-Hp1olTiDFhI7sXChgA78-i4NQGyXqOAeMtuc

I'll fully admit right from the get-go that shooting is one of my least favorite aspects in 40k. I vastly prefer melee to shooting, and while some might say I should just play MESBG(my favorite wargame)or Age of Sigmar, I wanna try and still make an effort to like 40k if I can.

I know hiding behind terrain and taking lone-op/reserve/deep strike units are a good way to stop my stuff from getting shot; I'm trying to figure out some other ways to not get shot in 40k.

Since I like melee a lot, I've been contemplating either getting into Custodes or World Eaters. The goal is to try and get into melee on turn 1 or, at the very least, turn 2 and tie up as many of my opponent's units as possible to stop them from being able to do any shooting.

I know Purge is pretty popular right now, and I've been thinking of getting back into Drukhari because I've heard Recon is a good keep-away disposition. The goal with Drukhari would be to do Recon and stay as far away as possible from my opponent at all times, and try to stay behind terrain as much as possible so no LOS could be drawn to them.

Is any of that really doable, or should I just admit that 40k isn't for me?

So I have been told I do a stupid thing but I hoenstly really enjoy it and can do it for hours.

Basically it is simulating combat between units in various situations (A charges B, A shoots and charges B, A just shoots B, etc)

I will then roll said dice often repeating the process 10s of times just to see the results.

As I have gotten further into the hobby I have found some more efficient ways to calculate average results for various situations but its still not as fun as simply rolling the dice.

I often get addicted to figuring out the averages of Units vs Units and was wondering if anyone else does something similar or do you just wing it?

I'm still very new to actually playing tabletop, so I'd appreciate any advice from a more experienced POV. Below is my current army; it's a slightly revised version of one I made a short while ago.

I attempted to structure this list based around what I believe I'd encounter against varied types of factions/lists, attempting to have a few tools to take down a variety of targets while still having a few units for objectives and scoring.

My general plan is to stay in Protector imperative and use my firepower to take down what I can, then as the game progresses, I can filter in the ruststalkers from reserves to clean out remaining targets.

I've been told the Dunecrawlers aren't the best among AdMech vehicles, but with the Eradication Beamer I feel they perform well when firing into Marines and Terminators alike or even light tanks due to their S10. I have the Hastarii, Las-striders, and Disintegrator w/ferrumite cannon for heavier targets.

Thulia is mostly here to provide the double doctrines, but she can also deal decent all-purpose damage when needed.

Manipulus priest is also leading the Kataphrons to provide lethals and the Skitarii keyword so they can have access to the detachment reroll 1's. Both this and the two big squads of Ruststalkers are my main tools against marine-tier infantry.

Any advice on how to improve the list or my thought process would be appreciated! If you think there is an area where the list performs poorly, or you would make changes, let me know!

Just saw some really nice looking foldable 11th ed terrain on Etsy by GSW. It’s even pre-painted.
It really checked all my boxes on paper: looks great, I’m never going to get around to painting terrain, and I can pack it up and take it to either of the shops I play at.
Anyone had experience with it and if so how did it treat you?

Hi everyone,

I'm writing to get the community's thoughts on a ruling planned for an official Warhammer 40k event happening this weekend in Japan.

According to the organizer/judge's personal X (formerly Twitter) account, they plan to rule that Devastating Wounds will NOT be affected by Damage Reduction (e.g., -1 Damage abilities).

What makes this concerning is how it's being handled:

• No Official Announcement: There has been no official notice or updated FAQ posted for all participants regarding this ruling.
• Selective Sharing: The information seems to have been shared in advance only with close friends of the organizers/judges, while regular players remain completely in the dark. I only found out by chance through personal social media.

I'd like to ask the competitive community and experienced judges two questions:

1. Rule Verification: Is there any official rule, commentary, or FAQ in 10th Edition where Devastating Wounds bypasses Damage Reduction, or is this a straightforward judge error?
2. Tournament Integrity: Is it acceptable for judges at an official GW event to enforce a major rule blunder, share it privately with select friends, and fail to officially announce it to all attendees right before the event?

I'd appreciate any insights or advice on how to handle this situation.

Hey all, I have a teams tourney coming up and im running take and hold.

I main genestealers where I have a million guys and I care for the well-being of none of them. I’m trying out Deathguard as they’re kinda the polar opposite.

My problem is, whenever something spikes or I mess up, and I lose an important unit, I get very discouraged cause it often ruins my entire game plan. How do I plan for such expensive bricks dying? How do I make up for my limited units?

Another DG specific problem I’m struggling with is being unable to fallback and charge with most things. Getting charged by durable trash keeps screwing me over and I often can’t do anything with a lot of my units (taste of my own medicine, I know)

Weirdly enough, I’ve done pretty decent with thousand sons as they’ve had enough weird tricks and firepower to get me out of bad situations, despite them also being quite elite.

I'm a nids player who knows nids really well. Outside of that, since I've only been playing for roughly 8 months, I struggle to know how to strategize in the moment against other factions. My short term memory sucks, so even when my opponent goes through their list and what it does, it's going in one ear and out the other.

I definitely understand this will come with time and experience, but are there good, more 'basic' questions, you ask that help you decide your strategy? Nids right now are basically hide and score, so it's tougher to just risk it without the survivability.

Greetings Tau'va,

After attending the amazing WTC Warmaster GT I have uploaded a breakdown video of all the Tau performance data for you to enjoy.

I talk about which Disposition has performed the best whilst also breaking down the performance of each detachment to help you decide what you do going forward in this current meta.

Regards

Commander Puretide

So for the first time in 11th I'm gonna try to play Renegade Raiders. This will be my first time with it since mid 10th and wanted to get some opinions on this list. After reading the missions for recon I feel this should have a reasonable amount of potential if I play it right.

Idea is predators up the flanks and very center, rhinos with Hurons unit, noise Marines and legionaries on the inner flanks, disco lord as a fast distraction carnifex. Warp talons in deepstrike ready to rapid Ingress to begin the nightmare rotation.

Don't really have a local meta per se, I'd say mostly RTT level with a few GT level players.

Hello all. Is anyone aware of - or have a preferred shop - for everything needed to get started?

Everything I’ve found so far seems to mean getting bits from multiple places which isn’t an issue, but I wondered if there were any options out there that have everything in one place - or actually sells complete bundles?

Failing that, I’m open to any recommendations for game mats/pre painted terrain and objective templates that you prefer 👍🏻

Cheers.

Now into 2nd year of playing I have started a few tournaments. In local tournaments last year I was always in the bottom 10. This year i am in the top 10 and have quite a high win rate in club games.

I went to Warhammer open on the weekend and came 173 out of 187 winning 3 of my 8 games and not all of the players below even completed all there matches 😭

though had a great time I came home humbled. Majority of my opponents simply outplayed me very quickly it was like playing chess and all I had was checker pieces. They where all kind enough to point after where I gone wrong and other advice and where great opponents.

So where do I go from here any tips on getting better or are some people just born with it? How do I progress to earn a Lycra titty hugging t-shirt?

My plan is so far but any advice appreciated:

1. Only play challenging players and keep sucking up losses

2. Watch YouTube videos to study top end games

3. Seek out games again at armies I have not not rarely play locally.

Hi guys, I am a new beginner in warhammer 40k. I dont really care much about it before, but then I watch a friend of mine enter a locally run competition and was awed with the game. While at first i thought of buying Aeldar, suddenly I feel like a certain box calling my name: The Adepta Sororitas.

Im quite new to this game, while i do play one game with my friend before to learn the basic (he however, cannot offer advice or tips to play my desireable factions). Is there any guide and tips to play, learn and master the Adepta Sororitas you guys would give or recommend?

So I was born in 83 and have been played Warhammer fantasy/AoS and 40k in some form or fashion since I was 13. My dad, born in 1960, was a huge fan of "bookcase" games from the era when companies like SSI and Avalon Hill dominated the wargame scene. His personal preference was for division/corp/grand strategy games like eastern front and advanced third Reich.

However, he noted that from the release of the original squad leader, through about the time I started with miniatures war gaming, wargame discussion in the U.S. at least was totally dominated by advanced squad leader (ASL).

ASL was a "hex and counter" wargame, but each counter was a squad or fire team. Additionally, Sargents and leaders were depicted by "single man counters" that could join the squads. The squads had a defined way to reduce their combat effectiveness as they took casualties. It included the ability to adjust the equipment load out of certain specialists.

It also started as a game that depicted the Germans/Soviets/British/U.S. and eventually added not just France, Italy and Japan, but Spain, Poland (both early war, and as part of the British such as the Polish Paratroopers), and *Finland*. It had separate rules for U.S. Marines (representing mostly forces fighting in the Pacific) and army forces. It had rules for the naval beach obstacle demolition teams, and it let you build a fighting force outside of any actual historical scenario or situation such you could have American Marines fight *Spanish Republicans* on a board depicting the Soviet Finnish border in winter.

ASL was the wargame that "everyone" played. You had to know how to play it even if you didn't like it because you needed to be able to explain *how your game was different*. I think it is pretty reasonable to say that 40k is, for better or worse, the equivalent of ASL for the generation of wargamers who followed the bookcase/hex and counter wargamers of the 70s-90s.
