Episode 60: Dom goes 6 and 1 in Manchester!

So let's talk about the...

Let's talk about the list that you took to the event.

And because what I love about this is everybody seems to be leaning either Questorus or Freeblade.

There are now some people going into the Balastrike with Dominus Foebreakers and just going full purge.

I'm trying Balastrike with Thronebonded Outriders and Jind Singh is going to help me with that.

So I'm taking a list literally this coming weekend to an event.

But you've gone a different direction.

So let's talk about that.

Yeah, so there was a number of things around the kind of thought process for it.

And I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to studying the meta.

Even if I'm not playing on a weekend, I love to, on a Monday, Tuesday morning, just before work, I'll have a quick read.

see what's done well, see what's performed well.

And as we're all still early in 11th, there's opportunities for people to kind of cook new stuff and make it work.

But there seemed to be a bit of a pattern forming and that kind of Not every list, of course, but the majority of things seem to be like some sort of stat check take and hold list seems to start to really start to rise to the top.

Whether that's the Custodes Alaris build, whether that's 30 Space Wolf Terminators, there's a number of Necron builds.

Or, again, a kind of a stat check-y purge list, apart from Dark Angels, which are a completely different kind of beast on their own at the moment.

So when I thought, I was like, right, can I make a stat check, take and hold Knights list? Absolutely.

We've got Crystaurus.

We've got access to it through Gate Warden as well.

So I thought, right, that's going to be my main focus.

And I was like... played a few games with knights i actually started playing disruption because we had a teams event and someone needed to find an answer to disruption so it was gate warden when the line was huge which was really advantageous

yeah

and but i didn't actually take take any of the the admex stuff at all it was still just a pure knights list um looking at taking hold and the way it played i was like actually 20 OC that can scout, that can sticky, that is on 25 mil bases.

So it's really quite easy to benefit from the hidden rule because you can put four or five on that center objective and still be hidden behind that wall.

And then a load of high OC, high toughness stat checky knights, even though, as we say, sometimes knights can still blow over.
