The NEW Krieg Command Squad is Awesome! | Astra Militarum | Warhammer 40,000

1. So, if I attach 10 Krieg Troops with the Krieg Command Squad, I can take the plasma gun in both units, and still have a vox? The troops have to choose between either a plasma gun or a master vox.

2. Your bolt action segment is super quiet compared to the rest of the video Mordy 😂 great video

3. Do we know when this is being released though? Is it the 25th?

4. Yay

5. Have we lost the marshal or is imperial armour valid for now?

6. 5:18 – Narrative players, remember: A veteran guardsman with a plasma gun is an oxymoron. Melta is the true hero’s choice. o7

7. The way I’m reading it is they still can’t be given orders if they are battle-shocked as it’s states that orders cannot be given to battle-shocked units. This is a buff to army’s that cause battle-shock, ie battle shock in the shooting/fight phase. Unless I’m reading this wrong it still means if you fail in the command phase due to being below half they can’t be ordered. Am I reading this correctly?

8. It is a shame GW just removed the wargear pont systeam without rebalancing the "cheaper" options.

9. Your video is really helpful. I’m new in Astra Militarum and Warhammer tbh I can’t really understand how can I read datasheets but your explaining vid is really works to me🫡

10. I actually think this is such a massive nerf to the index that no tourney players are ever going to run this unit.

    The niche of krieg v other guardsmen is that they can do some damage. They got more special weapons and they hit better. Between the unit itself losing a special weapon, and the command squad essentially losing 2 special weapons this unit is now unable to break the glass ceiling of inconsequential damage.

    So then if your guardsmen cant do meaningful damage their only other purpose is to have oc and screen the enemy. Catachans do both of these things better, and cadians also do it better.

    Krieg guardsmen are on the shelf, along with this command squad 🙁

11. Wtf is wrong with the sound???

12. Thanks for breaking it down for noobs, I appreciate all the info

13. Does anyone know the base sizes?

14. I fee like while the orders are good, were going to be lacking them due to nothing else working with DKOK.

15. The Plasma Pistol not replacing the Las Pistol is an error.

16. Where can I read about the battle shock OC affect order? I'm very new and I just thought battleshock meant no OC.

17. Alchemist should have been a plague doctor!!

18. I really find the fake options really annoying in 10th.

    Why give is a choice of there's clearly 1 superior choice.

    Just replace the weapons. Make bolt and laspistols viable again.

19. Aspex tactics keeps saying lord Solar can't give baneblades orders because of a rules commentary is this true ?

20. I wonder if, especially once we get whatever clarification whether or not Leontus is going to go back to print, and order any Guard, or stick with +points nerf, and only order Reg/Sqd, if you'd be willing to do an updated dive on the Lord Solar? I know lots of people were probably tired of seeing him, and so won't mind him being retired back to bureaucracy, on Terra, but I was rather fond of him. The thing is, I don't know how really useful he can still be? He can only order reg/sqd units, but there are cheaper ways to get orders to all the grunts you need, and anyone who complains about having orders for their tanks, now, should probably just become a Chaos Spawn, because the Tank Commander cranks out plenty, now, and you can still take as many as you need, so what is Leontus still hoping you need him to order? I feel like they specifically gimped him to make Dreir look more appealing, even though he can't lead all the same Krieg units, but will the Lord Solar still see play? I'm curious.

    To actually branch off of this video, I wanted to ask about the FW/Legends DK Marshall. I actually thought of all this posting because Leontus actually fulfills your claim of AN officer, since I think he can join a Krieg squad that is also joined by a KCS, but if he's on his way to shelf detail, do you still like the the look of the DKM? Will he still add well to this squad? The Marshall obviously won't get updates, so he might not still be quite on line with the Castellan, but he used to be a great add to Krieg squads, so will you still? Are Legends rules any kind of real barrier, apart from tournaments? It's too bad that the Death Korp otherwise doesn't get a Castellan analog, but would you consider still using 1-3 Marshalls?

21. that five point enhancement that gives scouts on one of these guys leading a ten man Combat Engineers squad sounds fun

22. Servo-scribe + 24" is going to pair very well with Kasrkin and their ability to follow 2 orders.

23. DKOK only the tankiest by a small margin now. Kinda sad, but possibly made up for by pseudo-immunity to battle shock.

    I mean, everyone's lost games due to an unfortunate battle shock. Everyone's lost games to not having that last movement or OC order. These abilities are situational but for relatively common situations, though not many ppl direct their devs or other mortals to guardsmen so that's iffy.

24. I miss my Marshals, Mordian… I miss them a lot.

25. Krieg! KRIEG! KRIEG!!

26. If Mordian can just take GW's balls out of his mouth for 10 seconds then maybe he could start to understand that this is all 4 steps back and 1 step foward
