Before anyone else. Don't wait...Pokwarhammer (Pok Warhammer) Serve directly to your screen.

Decoding Combi-Lieutenant: From the Forgotten Soldier to the 70-point MVP that 80% of drivers can't live without!

Hello, all Pokwarhammer people!

On a battlefield full of Primarches like Galliman, or The Lion, spectacular tanks, and giant dreadnoughts...Have you ever wondered why on almost every Space Marine top race list, we always see a small, ordinary infantry model standing on one of the lists?

Yes, I'm talking about the Lieutenant with the Combi-weapon, or the "Combi Centurion," as we know it.

As new units try to compete with the scene, the "Combi Centurion" is back to 80% of the top 20 armies in major races...Why does a 70-point model become the "heart" of an indispensable victory?

Today we're going to decipher this "unexpected superstar."

1. The spirit of "surviving" (from Lore to the game table)

To understand why he's so good, we need to look back at his origin in the Leviathan box.

He's not an ordinary Lieutenant, but a Tyrannic War Veteran (Tyranid War veteran), an isolated combat expert. His storyline is to be left on a planet full of Tyranids and must "survive" by all means.

And Games Workshop seems to have perfectly removed this "survivalist" spirit from his rules on the game table!

2. Turbulent rule: "Evade and Survive" (dodge and survive)

This is his heart. How is this rule cheating? I will explain it to the new.

Generic models normally have the Lone Operative (Single Operation) rule, which means: "The enemy cannot shoot us if it is more than 12 inches away."

Sounds good, right? But it has weaknesses...If the enemy moves in at 11 inches, he can shoot us.

But!!!"Centurion Combi," not only that, he has another rule called "Evade and Survive" that says: "If the enemy unit finishes within 9 inches of us...We got 6 inches of instant 'escape motion'! "

Have you seen the burning of it?

It creates a "headache zone" for enemies within 9 - 12 inches:

If the enemy is far (13 inches or more): Can't shoot us (because of Lone Operative)

If the enemy wants to shoot (so move to 10-11 inches): Do it...But!

If the enemy wants to charge (so move to 8 inches): We immediately escape 6 inches! (From 8 inches to 14 inches) Makes charging almost impossible!

The enemy had to plan very awkwardly to kill this 70-point unit, but he fled behind the wall, and the enemy lost his turn for free. This is the real "survival"!

3. More than 70 points

"Okay, it's good to hide, but if you get shot, die?" Slow down...He has:

4 Wounds (4 Life Force)

Feel No Pain 5 + (When you get shot, you have to roll again if you get 5 or 6, "It's okay!")

For a rookie: having 4 Wounds + FNP 5 + means that, on average, an enemy has to inflict damage to reach 6 Wounds to kill him! This is almost as tough as two Terminator units combined at a much cheaper price!

Not enough...He also has a "Stealth" keyword, making it even harder for enemies to shoot.

The conclusion is: Evade and Survive, Stealth, and 4 Wounds + FNP 5 +. This is the most "annoying" unit for opponents.

4.Swiss knife all the benefits (not just escape, but "win the game")

His true value is not killing, but "scoring" and "agitating."

Objective Scoring is very difficult to kill and can go around alone. He is the perfect unit to run Secondary Objectives in the corner of the table or stand in a spot where the enemy does not want to mess with.

😎 Primarch's "Nanny" (Galliman's best friend and The Lion), this is a trick for a pro player!

You know, a Primarch like Roboute Guilliman or Lion El'Jonson would only get the Lone Operative (far shot-proof) rule if..."Only near our Infantry unit."

Now...If we take an expensive unit and stand nearby, we risk being shot dead together, right?

But "Centurion Combi" is the answer! He already has Lone Operative in himself, so he can safely stand as a "friend" for Primarch, becoming "Lone Operative to give another Lone Operative." 🤯 This is the most rewarding 70-point investment to protect your 300-400-point unit!

C) Screening, he has an Infiltrator, which can sneak outside the house from the start of the game, which allows him to use the "Forward Screening" method to prevent enemies from moving to the point, or to use his 12-inch radius, "Backfield Screening," so that Deep Strike can appear behind us.

Conclusion: Question of 70 points

Combi-Lieutenant was not put in to "kill," sir. He was put in to "win the game."

He is a unit that perfectly combines "survival" with "utility." He is 70 points that create more headaches for the enemy than some 200 points.

The real question, therefore, is not whether he is good or not, but is...When will GW spot this cheat and "adjust his points"? 😅

Until then...This "Combi Centurion" will continue to be the MVP standing in the heart of the Space Marine victory.

What about your friends? Do you think Combi-Lieutenant is the "best-value" unit in the Codex Space Marine right now, or is there another cooler one?

And for those who use him, what cool trick is there to use him against his opponents?
