Go Deep! Analyze 3 List of Champion Space Marines!

Delve In! Analyze 3 List of Champion Space Marines! Gladius or Stormlands Who Else?

Hello, my friends, Pokwarhammer, report to me! Today I'm going to summarize an interesting analysis from VF Miniatures about three Space Marines victories in the latest tournament, each of which has a completely different style and strategy.

1.Theo Hayatt's List: Ultramarines Stormlands Task Force

This list comes unconventional, but it works! Instead of using the typical Gladius Task Force, Mr. Theo opts for a Stormlands Detachment that emphasizes the mobility of a Fly vehicle and a continuous Advance and Charge mechanism without losing CP!

Featured strategy:

Super Tough Fly Vehicles: At the heart of the list are the Storm Raven Gunship and Storm Speeder Hammer Strikes, these two aircraft benefit from a super-cheat Stratagem that provides -1 to hit and -1 to wound, causing a vehicle that is normally already Tough to become an Tough Descent in the enemy firing phase.

Smart Unit Transportation: Storm Raven doesn't just fly around, but also acts as a taxi for key units like Aggressors or Stern Guard Vets to get them to position the most dangerous attacks.

Hidden Firepower: Despite seemingly not having a lot of firepower, when these units work with Guilliman's abilities that provide a "double oath" and a discounted Stratagem to use, it hurts their attacking power!

Units But Important: This list also contains Scouts used for expeditionary missions, Lieutenant with Combi-weapons used to perform tasks or create commotion, and Ancient used to capture points and buff friends.

Conclusion: This list proves that Stormlands also has things, and its success depends heavily on the player's "Piloting Skill."

2.Sebastian Ker's List: Dark Angels Gladius Task Force

This list is back to simplicity but powerful! It's the perfect combination of Deathwing and Lion El'Jonson under the Gladius Task Force rules that provide the full tools for making games.

Featured strategy:

Lion El'Jonson: This Primarch is the core of the military! He plays a big role in bugging the surrounding units by giving reroll 1s to hit and wound. There's also a toughness that makes him survive easily.

Deathwing Knights: This unit is the horror of the list! Deathwing Knights descent. With 4 Wounds, 2 + Save, 4 + Invulnerable, -1 Damage, and with 4 + Feel No Pain once per game, enemies need huge resources to knock them down.

Azrael The Indispensable: Azrael is a must-have character on the Dark Angels list! He is highly effective at creating CP and also provides 4 + Invulnerable Save as well as Sustained Hits with the units he joins.

Limited firepower: With the main units like the Deathwing Knights and Lions being very expensive, there are not many points left for the units. This list only has two Predator Annihilators to create a commotion.

Conclusion: This list shows the challenge of managing the points of an Elite army like the Dark Angels, but it also proves that Gladius has always remained a strong and functional Detachment.

3.Tim Nordin's List: Dark Angels Stormlands Task Force

Another Dark Angels list based on Stormlands Detachment, but this time it comes in a primarily speed-oriented Ravenwing Bike theme! Lion El'Jonson and Azrael remain key figures on this list.

Featured strategy:

Lots of Bike Armies: At its core was Ravenwing Command Squads, who brought many Black Knights and Outriders onto the list, making this army move super fast!

Lion El'Jonson: The Lion on this list will move much faster! At a normal speed of 8 inches, plus Detachment's Advance and Charge capabilities, and can walk through walls, allowing him to catch up with fast Bike units.

Black Knights Goodies Benefit: The Black Knights on this list can be used to both hit close with Corvus Hammers and shoot long with a powerful Plasma!

Darkshroud Sticky-proof: Ravenwing Darkshroud gives -1 to hit with nearby allied units, making the entire Bike army even more resistant to enemy fire!

Azrael, CP Pump Assistant: Azrael is still being used to help build critical CP, even though he didn't join other units.

Conclusion: It's an interesting list and rarely seen very often. It proves that Stormlands can work well with speed-oriented units, and you don't need a tank to generate enough firepower!

Conclusion: What we learned from the three champions!

The Gladius Task Force remains a strong choice: despite other interesting detachments, Gladius is still a "great tool" and has proven itself at a competitive level.

Lion El'Jonson is competitive: This Primarch has played a key role in both Gladius and Stormlands award-winning lists, showing he is effective both as a buff and as a durable unit.

Azrael is the MVP of Dark Angels: his ability to make CP and his survival buff really makes him an indispensable choice!

The importance of Utility: Lieutenant with Combi-Weapons and cheap units like Scouts is still important in completing tasks and controlling goals, which is central to winning games.

Space Marines Diversity: The success of both Stormlands and Gladius shows that Space Marines are flexible and able to adapt to a variety of playing styles.
