So guys, the new GK book stuffed henchmen. And Mordrak. Looking like purifiers are the only competitive build in the book.
Damn.
However, this came up in conversation, the "armies i'm afraid of" in 5E. Basically, these are the 4 "generic" armies that worry me. Obviously, there's other things that phase me, but if your opponents army looks like one of these, you should be in for a rough game.
Now, I made all those lists, and I think that GK list will be "the GK build". For the future. I'd damn buy it if I didn't need to get another 6 rhinos. I love builds that're good in the midfield. Especially close combat. :D

Just felt like sharing that.
When you say "worry you" do you mean when playing your mech-orks, or if you were playing any army (including one of these).
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what those new GK do but I have 50 marines; 6 Rhinos and three Dreads so I will mock it up for a game at some point.
Any of them really Lyracian. I'd add a lot more lists TBH though. Mech DE. Foot SW. Tyranids. Horde and Mech Orks, etc. Whilst they all aren't hyper competitive (Nids, Orks), knowing you can handle those list archetypes with your list generally means it's a balanced list.
ReplyDeleteI think GK will have more than one competitive build though come on Billy :P.
