Die idea is Purge the Foe with a super heavy list, lead by Yarrick.

The Terminators are for deep strikes and 2+ safe. They draw the same weapons that would otherwise go into a Tank and they are cheaper than an infantry blob so I am actually amazed by these fellas

Has the time of Grey Knights instead of battleline come?

My opponent played a Basilisk and moved it up as a field gun / Crushing Impact/ heavy flamer all in one.

He moved his Basilisk up and was within 15 inch of my own Dorn and had line of sight.

Since my dorn was in cover and the Basilisk had the Move order it would hit on 5+ due to cover.

We were wondering if he could also shoot indirectly since he himself spotter the Dorn.

How is the interaction here? Can Artillery be it's own spotter and hit guaranteed on 4+?

My opponent plays Astra or Sisters, loves alpha strikes and is a former European champion. He plays comp Warhammer for longer than I am alive so I don't expect beating him soon but he literally counters perfectly any move I make and I don't know what to do against an opponent who calmy knows how to play against anything.

How can I improve faster and maybe sneak out a win?

(With both armies he plays fun stuff, primarily using dice to build his army to prevent himself from making a tournament list lol)
