MUH TACTICAL GENIUS

He uses pack tactics to destroy choice targets with the overwhelming force inherent in gene-spliced supersoldiers, before delivering a swift and decisive blow on the enemy command structure, leaving other shit (like infrastructure, civilians, perhaps even certain figureheads not inherently military, at least before the Heresy) intact. Horus isn't just concerned with beating his enemies, he wants a fully-functioning world to smoothly transition into his control.

So he's Leman Russ lite?

>>51199343
No. Leman Russ sends drunken Space Norsemen head first at bad guys.

>>51199406
how is that any different than what Horus, Angron, Morty, Perty, Ferrus do?

>>51199435
Horus is using tactics to subvert worlds at all angles. Don't think of speartip as describing his army, or soldiers, or even exclusively military tactics. Horus wants as much intact as possible, but man, whatever has to go down is going down fast and hard.

Angron is not different in any way.

Mortarion does it really slowly (like me and your mom).

Perterabo does the same thing but with Howitzers on the back field first, firing them for days or weeks at a time before sending them first. And they aren't drunk. Just bitter.

Ferrus isn't averse to tactics at all, unless those tactics are unworthy to him. Just very methodical, practical. Sometimes this means you take your time.

Horus benefits form Deus Ex Machina all the time and it's explained as "MUH GENIUS". It's shit writing

>>51199484
Excellent analysis. I suggest you try something more advanced than splatbooks and middle school fiction now. You're clearly fit.

>>51199492
explain why you're here again?

>>51199507
Same reason you are, I figure. You like /tg/ topics?

>>51199492
You're on a fucking table top gaming board on a Yugoslavian Chestnut Enthusiast Forum m8

>people looking to 40k for any form of tactics and strategy.

>>51199523

Once is enough for that trash

>>51199615
>reading it in the first place

>>51199406
Leman Russ and his legion is just acting like savages, its just a prank bro.

>>51199469
>Angron is not different in any way.
>implying Angry Rob gives half a fuck about collateral damage or leaving infrastructure intact and doesn't just rip+tear

>>51199469
> Angron is not different in any way.
He is different in one way. He's better at it.

>>51200329
Agreed.

>Implying Russ does
He doesn't. I never implied that.

>>51199469
Why is ferrus so cute?! I want to oil him up and service him!

>>51199227
