"...hows my list?" How is your brain?

"...hows my list?" How is your brain?

Forgive my cynicism, but the insane number of posts asking for list help is starting to bother me.

If you put me in the drivers seat of an airplane there is no way I will be able to pilot it. Granted that is an extreme example but just bringing a tailored meta list will not bring you victory.

On the notes of tailored meta. They get countered, They get solved, they get borning because your opponents have already seen them before.

I understand if you are new you dont want to waste money buying a "bad unit" or you don't want to get steamrolled because it's not fun. But part of that is how you learn. How you improve.

If nothing else. Instead of just posting your list look at all of the other folks who have posted and look for the common demoninators. Read the comments (you'll see me in several of them...) personally the best way to get good advice is to take your list to a game. Afterwards you can ask your opponent for advice/critique. They can say something like. "Yeah you really struggled taking out my brick of terminators. Some D3 weapons can go a long way on those..." or "hey try bringing some scouts or something to be action monkeys, that will help you catch up on secondaries" (this is assuming you're facing a normal person)

The best way to improve is to play the game. Find a local weekly league, join a TTS group. Just have fun with it.

Pic for attention. Not trying to call anyone specifically out. just a former MTG player who's fed up with netdecking and meta chasing.

*TERMINATOR DEEP STRIKE IMMINENT* PREPARE TOURSELF HERETIC, FOR TODAY YOU DIE! I finished some terminators for my Storm Lords.

Very proud of myself for finishing this Terminator squad. Probably the best job I've done on minitures. The chainfists and cyclone launcher are magnitized too. Thanks for looking! I think bikes are up next!

Do the white scars use Invictor Tactical war suits?

I know a dreadnought is against the way of white scars. Takes their ability away to feel the wind as they ride. But invictor battle suits don’t have them be locked into them, so do they use them? My next army will be white scars and I wanted a more lore like one. So I wanted to know if they used them.

Does anyone else forget their rules/strategems xD

Was playing a casual game against mates night lords

charged in with suboden 3 outriders and wrecked one of his units which was in a building but then forgot that you can use wind swift evasion to normal move mounted units which would have given my bikes a 14" move

instead i just let them sit there while he butchered them on a charge on the following turn with suboden surviving and making a normal move after.

Didnt even remember i couldve done the above till the end of the game 🥇

moving forward i think ill put some sticky notes on my codex datasheet and detachment pages so i can remember, but what are some of the things you guys do which have helped you?

White Paint

Hey guys! I’m an Admech player, but I’m trying to paint mine in a Metallica paint scheme, which is all white.

Pallid Wych Flesh over Ragarth flesh isn’t really working for me right now, so I figured I’d go to the experts on the subject haha. Do y’all have any tips or paint combinations y’all like for white? Thanks!

1st Win with white scares

Im so happy I just won my first game ever with my white scars and it was awesome im really liking the new datasheets with alot of space marines but sadly non of my bikers saw any action but it was the first game ive ever won with white scars and ive played abt 14ish games with them

Would anyone be able to tell me how I should play outriders i feel like I always lose the unit before they do anything and what new models I should get and i do wanna get more speeders and dreads anything helps advice wise.

VIPs Sarro khan killed multple charters, And both dreads killed mutple units and played really good missions.

Final score was 63-20

How many Outriders

Hello all I am brand new to White Scars and I am starting to buy models I have 5 Vanguard Vets, 5 intercessors, landspeeder, 10 infiltrators and a few characters. My main question is how many outriders should I get for a COMPETITIVE list. I still want to be White Scar themed but my group is definitely more of a comp scene.
