I want the Eldar out of 40k.

>>51659523

You're forgetting one thing about the Dreadclaw: it's a flier with hover. It doesn't need to be accurate when it can turbo boost into location and jink. It offers protection for a turn, you can assault out of it, and after it dumps it's load, it goes around harassing objectives and shitting fire on people.

I made a deal with my friend.

I have been playing sisters fluffed as https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Obsidian_Mirror against his Dark Angels, in matches that have escalated from 500pt to 2000pt games. So few to no priests, no Celestine, lots of special weapons in small groups. I wanted to use the homebrew rules there (https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Obsidian_Mirror#Playing_the_Obsidian_Order), so I offered for his Hatred and Preferred Enemy (Chaos Space Marines) to include (Order of the Obsidian Mirror) in exchange for allowing me to use them. Additionally, I probably won't ever field Celestine while using those rules, just because.

His play style usually includes lots of deep striking deathwatch terminators, and ravenwing bikes, with some heavy armor that may or may not be transporting assault terminators.

Who do you think got the better end of the stick, ignoring fluff?

Even CWE isn't necessarily WAAC. Hell, even Wraith based Eldar isn't necessarily WAAC. A spirit seer with wraithblades, foot slogging wraithguard and some accompanying wraithlords supported by aspects and guardians is hardly anything to complain about. Apparently you're just a cunt for liking Eldar because scatbikes and WKs exist.

There is nothing rule-wise that prevents me using Ynnari with Haemonculus Coven allies, right?

>>51659701
let's take these premises
>harlequin are trash

>DE considered one of the weakest codexes
nuff' said
>combining them together is not normally op with allies
What fromations do the Ynnari provide that actually that makes two of the worst codexes in the game viable together.

>>51659745
well I'm not going to entirely disagree with you but i am going to point to craftworld formations and bs 5 spiders being more then just scat bikes for cheap.

>>51659768

Craftworld formations don't really break anything unless you're using them to boost units that are already broken. The wraith hosts formations rule isn't the problem, it's that it makes the already bullshit wraith knight better. It's the reverse of space marine formations, which take units that are a bit shit and turn them into fucking nonsense.

>>51659777

No, you have to go out your way to be OP. In what world do you think the average player is taking multiple wraith knights and taking nothing else but min-maxed squads of 3 scatbikes or 3 units of Spiders?

>and disturb me during the interrogation.

Oh my. Din't know you felt that way, sah.

>>51659797

im not disputing that, however you have to go out of your way to make eldar not a top tier codex aswell, because you are actively avoiding the strong units

>>51659796
>>51659778
amending my errors
while grown the armour is still to some extent manufactured by sapient life with control over the growth of the item.
I have no idea why a race that favours speed, grace and AESTHETICS would intentionally mar their Armour in a way that makes it grotesque
It suggests the armour was grown poorly,

I feel like your opponent got the better deal there. Fear is just going to slide off Dark Angels and whilst Stealth is nice, I don't think that it's quite as good as Hatred and Preferred Enemy against you. Reducing leadership is nice, but also not something that Marines will find troubling. I think the Order's disadvantages was supposed to be the lack of Priests.

>>51659775
Looks fairly similar to my own, though I don't really get what Chaos Sorcery is supposed to do, Blessing of Tzeentch seems like a pretty pointless change and Favoured of Tzeentch is still useless.

I also think a more elegant fix for the discipline of Tzeentch would be to just make Doombolt the primaris, it's already the most useful and iconic power in there.

Harlequins aren't taken because the tax on their special detachment is huge and they can't field a standard CAD (no HQ). The Ynnari can take a 10 point HQ and some jetbike troops to unlock half a dozen Harlequin psykers, who get a primaris that's nearly as game breaking as invisibility.

>I don't really get what Chaos Sorcery is supposed to do
Allows regular Sorcerers to generate from Divination and Telekinesis, like the Scarab Occult Sorcerer and Exalted Sorcerer.

> Blessing of Tzeentch seems like a pretty pointless change
It's essentially turning your Invuln into FNP. It's a pretty big shift (probably a bit too big, I've been thinking about dropping Rubricae to a 5++).

> Favoured of Tzeentch is still useless
Favored of Tzeentch will pretty much always be useless. Either baseline Tzeentch units are super weak without it, or they're viable without it and OP with it. The real version is extremely powerful, but it's too difficult to unlock and doesn't mesh with what I did with Blessing of Tzeentch.

>elegant fix to make Doombolt the primaris
But then Tzeentch's Firestorm is still dogshit, and Doombolt primaris would be absurdly good. Doombolt is a power that could be justified as WC1 or 2, and I don't think it would be a balanced WC1 primaris power. If I was going to make additional spell changes, I'd do something about Boon of Mutation. Maybe add +/-1 to the result? Maybe reroll one of the dice?

>>51659859

I'd just remove Boon of Mutation, it makes no sense for a legion thats entire schtick was going to aburd length to rid themselves of Mutations.

Anyway my changes to Blessings of Tzeentch and Favoured of Tzeentch were to keep the former as is but make the latter only let you reroll invulnerable saves but give it by default instead of having to fill out you formations.

That may make the Thousand Sons a bit too dependant on it though.

The biggest thing I did though was just copy the psychic parts of Cult Arcana from HH, still need to figure out what I'll change the War Coven to do as I effectively made its bonuses army wide.

>>51659832
I thought as much, but wanted another opinion. Thanks.

Yeah I don't think terror doctrine is really the brightest tactic to use against marines, and stealth means less with power armor and all units having a 6++ by default. Less priests combined with my buddy's Hatred on half his units and almost every HQ ensures his dominance in melee, especially on the Deathwing Knights with their Hammer of Wrath.

The special characters look fun though, and the special agents can take a valkyrie which I love even if I already ally with inquisition every game.

With my stuff, I wanted to (A) change as little as possible (ergo leaving in Boon and Siphon magic, not cutting out Ahriman's Exiles and Rehati and rolling them into the War Coven, etc)) and (B) bring the Thousand Sons into line with the other cult legions (ergo Fearless on the detachment bonus and keeping Favor as a "sacred number of units" thing).

I toyed briefly with the idea of including Cult Arcana stuff a la 30K Sons, but I wanted to keep the two more discrete. Prospero is dead, and it's traditions are no longer the ruling schema for the remnants of the Legion.

So i saw someone complaining that only humans fall to chaos. I mean do you want Chaos Elves? cause thats how you get Chaos Elves.

>>51660026
I'd bet money that it's purely because of the kit. Each jetbike is on a little sprue of its own, and each sprue has both a Scatter Laser and Shruiken Cannon on it, alongside the Catapults. Whenever GW does interviews with the developers and sculptors, it's mentioned that models are designed first and then rules written, so the rules team thought they might as well give people the option since they're gonna have all these weapons lying around.

>>51660137
they can mean 1 of 2 things

1) the setting gets raped out of existence (in shitmar the entire warhammer fantasy battle universe is destroyed by chaos and gives way to completely new lore for the most part, and a new game, AoS)
2) the game will be casualized into unplayability, age of sigmar is to WHFB what skyrim is to morrowind. whether that is good or not depends on your perspective, but it sure as hell aint good to a lot of people.

>>51660159
About half way to AoS.

>>51660200
In terms of rules mechanics? No more charts to hit or wound, everything rolls on fixed numbers. A Tactical Marine needs, say, a 3+ to hit and 4+ to wound regardless of if he's shooting at Grots or Carnifexes. Initiative stat removed, replaced with the players choosing alternating units to make melee attacks. Ranges being measured from the model, not the base. Dicing off each turn to determine the order of play. Psychic Powers being vastly reduced in scope.

Can I get away with specializing in plasma weapons in a Chaos Space Marines army? I'm new to the game and I like the cool glowy effects on plasma guns, so I was thinking about making a gimmick warband that prefers to use plasma, something like

>chaos space marine or plague marine troops with max plasma, in rhinos with comb-plasmas
>plasma chosen squads
>several small fully plasma biker squads
>helbrute with plasma cannon
>obliterators with lots of plasma weapons converted on them, since they can use plasma cannon/twin-linked plasma gun

arms

I'm not entirely turned off by The Gathering Storm, but I'm concerned with the destruction of the setting.
As in the literal settings within the greater 40K setting.
The destruction of Cadia, Commorragh, and Biel-Tan worries me.
I'm not sure why the streamlining of 40K requires shattering faction-specific settings, merging them arbitrarily, only to release a billion goddamn AoS-like sub-faction books anyway.

>>51660252
>But is there any evidence of this.

There isn't, no. Arguably the fluff seems to be taking a similar turn, and there's been repeated rumours that 8th edition 40k is going to be "streamlined", but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be AoS'ed.

>>51660259
>>51660238

Assuming you meant to-hit

>>51660267
I mean Streamlining would help a bit as right now you have to flip through like 3 different sections of the rulebook to see every different rule your models have which is a bit of a pain.

"Now we have all the psychic horsepower we need to siphon the infinity circuits and awaken Ynniad!!" say Eldrad Uthraln after that because only the corpses of greatest farseer could awaken greatest death god

It's not just land raiders it,s leman russes, knights, front amrour preds, vindicators and for statistical insurance av 13/12 at all.
it may not sound like the worse thing but needing 6s (3x6s meaning on average 18 shots +1/3 missed shots for being a space marine + the 1 or two dead marine you incur during that shooting due to get's hot) to glance av13 fucks man and you will end up wasting more time you could be gunning down other units. It's just not cost effective.
strap a melta or two in a squad, take some havocs for extra special weapons (i'd do it over chosen) and kill some of those damn 'eavier vechicals

FoC and FoB are separate storylines occuring simultaeously in the 40k universe. RoP is those two threads coming together to cap this initial storyline. We'll then likely have a pause for some AoS stuff and maybe 8th ed. before we get "Oh Shit the Storm is Here: Abaddon and Rowboat Thrown Down on Terra Part 1" or whatever. They've said these three books are a trilogy of sorts.

>>51660511
I could see that.

>>51660461
Two things. A, a lot of Guard players don't actually want to play an infantry horde army, so they ignore tons of great options. B, the modern IG mechvet army was one of the best armies in the game in 5th edition into early 6th. Since they're no longer the best, they must be the worst. Kinda like how all non-"one of the best units in the game" options in the Tau codex get whined about incessantly.

>>51660508
Thanks anons. I'm pretty sad that one of the most legitimately interesting races in any universe isn't given the love it deserves.

>>51660461
I think it's more due to the fact that Guard was pretty solidly mid-tier, though a lot of things that were beneath it have gotten buffs. Guard hasn't really gotten weaker, but armies like CSM and DEldar have gotten big buffs that basically put them on par with guard if not making them better.

Guard hasn't gotten weaker, but the only thing they've gotten in their favor is the Castellan option for respawning troops.

If you read the rule book. Template weapons shoot all at the same time.

So having Heavy Flamer, Flamer and Combi-Flamer was a good idea.

Now? You roll to wound for HF, save and remove casualties. Then the Flamer then the Combi.

Any special rule that doesn't specifically say it can be use inside a transport it can't be use.

Regarding templates I'm not even sure how they work now I might very wrong

That's hilarious.

>>51660549
>No invul saves on blobs
And? Very few codexes come with widespread invulnerable saves. When you're dudes are 5 PPM or less, they don't get an invuln. Cry harder.

>Overpriced HQs, exception for Pask
True for almost everybody, and CCS and Primaris Psykers are both worth their cost for the synergistic effects.

>Bubblewrapping tanks only saves them for a turn
Yes, you can't just wrap a fifty point unit of infantry around a tank and make the tank invulnerable for ever. Cry harder.

>Can't really deal with MCs
You can't deal with Riptide and Wraithknights. Hydra Flakk Tanks are, point of point, one of the best anti-FMC units in the game, and most codexes don't really have access to the kind of firepower needed to deal with Riptide and Wraithknights. That's why those two are considered some of the most OP units in the game. You can deal with Tyranids or Dark Eldar or (non 2++ abusing Daemon) MC's just fine.

>BS3 Vehicles
The vast majority of which are either packing Blast Weapons, are cheap, have multiple shots, or some combination thereof.

>>51660603

>>51660630
I think that Guard are one of the better balanced books, and I think the top end of codexes (Eldar, Tau, Marines, Daemons) need to be brought down to their level rather than the other way around. The Guard codex does have issues (some outdated prices, lack of character/army differentiation, Russ Ordnance rules), but the last two are more about fixing rather than buffing.

>>51660575

>>guard can't deal with MCs
Best case scenario, You have Pask firing his 20 rending shots into a non-flying MC. Pask's range is 24" though, so he will go down like a sack of bricks soon after.

>>51660676

>>51660712
Sure, or you could drastically reduce the durability of both and slightly reduce their lethality and/or mobility and leave them the same price. Outside some particularly bullshit effects (like rerollable 2++ saves), most OP stuff could be fixed by just jacking up the price. Even summon spam isn't really an issue without access to cheap warp charge.

depends on the legion rules, how you deploy and army you are fighting. I'm not up on legion rules but i can say reasonably if you go first you can be up the mid point by turn 2-3 and using your weapons.
pop smoke on turn two to ensure you get in there or has discretion suggests.
Taking combi weapons on rhins is cheap but i've not been fond of it, arguably if you want to go all plasma going melta combi would allow you to pick your targets better but it does mean you have a very fragile body for it to sit on.
To make sure they get there i'd have a hammer unit that draws some more attention, consider a vindicator or landraider, with the latter you can store a spam havoc/chosen squad in there

Sorry to keep spamming probably-shitty-lists but how's this for a small allied detachment? Mostly for IG, maybe for SM.

>>51660785
>Yes, most balanced units have downsides.
Like cost
I'd rather pay 125 points for a model that could do it's job before it gets blasted by a plane
and don't give me this shit, the only reason it doesn't is because it existed before it became a rule

>>51660749
Given the Wraithknight is a fuckhuge model, I'd rather they increased the price than nerfed it. Something that big shouldn't just be like a slightly better Wraithlord.

>>51660765
gotta have units from different factions if you want to castellans although I guess the second commissar could be an MT one

>>51660858
I do like the models, actually. I just wanted to try running the canoness with the repentias and smash into the enemy line and see what's left.
I was under the impression that Retribution squads were better, I guess I could change it to Dominion. I'm mostly fanagling this list around the squads GW sells on their site. I'll be bach with another one soon.

>>51660089
I think that particular Eldar was just possessed.

>>51660414
Tell me more about his run in with pert and russ?

>>51660907
It was on a Croneworld, so probably.

>>51660875
cont, just checked, doesn't have Lord Commissar as an MT pick, you'll either have to go CAD or find space for a unit from another faction

>>51660908
I admit that I've never read the book, but apparently there was a campaign involving the Sons of Horus, Iron Warriors, Space Wolves, and Raven Guard. Horus ordered Corax and his troops into a suicide raid. Corax objected, Pert called him a pussy. Corax did the fucking job (and lost a fuckload of troops who probably would've drank the heresy kool-aid in the future anyway, so no big loss really). He returns FUCKING PISSED and screams at Horus and Pert. Pert gets all "Fuck you, breh" and Russ has to tell Corax to just walk away. The Raven Guard are then put under Manus' watch, which works out to Corax's favor. Well, until Istvaan anyway.

>>51660850
Yeah it's better than a Imperial Knight. It should cost more than one.

>>51660897
The main issue with Repentias aside the point cost is that they can't survive shooting.

They need an assault transport.

I usually just run DCA with Repentias models. Give up trying to make those bloody thing work and I run from time to time Penitent Engines, 6 of the bloody things and make them work.

Retribution work better with HF or HB the first with pipelines the later with Vyridian and/or someone to give them Prescience.

If you can get/make a Repressor Dominion and Retribution get better.

Melee HQ is good or decent at least when hidden under other Melee units. Also a Priest with litanies does help

>>51660549
Since when did 5pt chaff come with ++ saves?
Most of your vehicles fire blasts or templates, which don't much care about BS.
Also
>Can't deal with MCs
>What are Beasthunter shells?

I ally some into my Admech, they work excellently.
Guard has problems, sure, but not severe ones. They could maybe do with a couple buffs, but as far as I can tell their major issue is not having any justification in fluff for their stuff to be good, like Eldar bullshit and Tau, Admech and 'Crons about "muh technology", so they don't get particularly good rules.

>>51660638
>it's nice to see them dominate SOMETHING
It's only for Guilliman's ressurection.
>“The time of their corpse-god is over,” says Wraithknight Soulseeker. Yvraine, with Iyanna at her side, speaks up then. “No, they must have a new leader,” she says. “If we can raise a new hero that reminds them of the glory of their past, they will follow him just as we cling to our myths.”
Somehow Eldars manage to create something more terrible than Slaanesh

>>51660897
Not them, but the biggest problem with Repentia is they can't get any transport that allows them to assault from it, unless you ally and embark them turn 1. All of their toughness comes from their AoF and a priest's War Hymns which are assault phase stuff. Init 1 doesn't help.

They're pretty neato and can roll 40 str 6 AP 1 hits in melee but they are made of paper. Having units in front of them as a moving cover piece helps.

You can get a land raider from inquisition allies if you are set on them.

can anyone recommend a good IG novel?
been reading "dead men walking" but holy fuck those commissars are fucking pussies. scared of their own fucking death korp troops? just because they wear fucking gas masks? who comes up with this pussy shit. they're commissars for fucks sake, supposed to stare right into the abyss of abyss. to confront rampant xenos

>>51660979

No such thing.

Oh yes there is. Page fucking 1 of the Imperial Guard Codex.

You know I think there might be some other reasons too.

Worst army for ranged, good for melee in early game, and it sucks on later game.


but then, Dawn of War series still suffers from Dawn of Eldar.

I guess my main problem is trying to not break my wallet while starting my SoB collection.
When it comes to meat shields my Imperial Guard army will be more than happy to provide. My plan was to park the Rhino sideways straight in front of the squad where I wanted to start the fuckfest and then just cross my fingers for a turn that all of them wouldn't get killed, since I'm not gonna be running an assault vehicle for most of the games I play.

>>51661006
Anon, I don't think you appreciate how alien and inhuman Kriegers are.

The fact that this thing looks like a human would probably be very very unsettling, even for Commissars.

Why do people hate matt wards writing? I actually really do enjoy it but it seems like most people tend to hate it because of dumb reasons and never really provide any substantial things beyond "its the cool thing to do"

>>51660985
You know, I can almost relate to Eisenhorn. He's scared because he has to face insane murder marines and psychers in 1 vs 1 stand-off. That's all right. But a commissar is not alone and should get his shit together

>>51660979
if you were a real life army officer straight outta officer school and when you arrived at your unit, all of your troops were creepy white skinned death cultists who wore protective masks everywhere, you might be a tad creeped out too

>>51660985
>>51660979
are you fucking faggots.
also they were scared most likely of the sheer inhumanity of those clones

>>51661004
what dis anon said also

Cadian blood is also okay
I last chancers were fine.
Cadian blood is pretty solid

>>51660927

Yeah, I just remembered why I had an Inquisitor in this list in the first place. I switched it for the commissar because the Inquisitor couldn't start in a Chimera, and I needed another HQ.
Cheers man.

>>51660835
>Like cost
What? Are you implying that the Hydra isn't appropriately costed? A single Icarus Autocannon isn't particularly likely to destroy a flier on Interceptor, and the Hydra puts out more HP of damage point-for-point than the significantly more expensive Icarus Onager.

Hey, humans are kind of huge assholes. So why not be better than humans? Choose good, choose the Greater Good. Give your common line infantry armor that actually protects them and weapons that actually kill things. Defend then with drones. Coordinate your firepower with markerlights and blow death stars off the board, and work together to kill charges in overwatch. Also, SUITS.

Fuck Wrath of Magnus. Simon Grant should be fired for that tripe.

>>51661036
ward hate is an old meme, at this point in the game's madness many 40k players would suck dick for ward's return

his main sin was creating change, and aversion to change is a classic symptom of autism. on a more serious note, the only thing I hate about ward is that he made necrons into a generic villains instead of keeping them a mysterious, unfeeling force in the galaxy. And he made the ctan lore shit. Other than that, ward is good relative to nu-40k. He made marines too strong and iirc he was responsible for 5th grey knights (or was that somebody else?).

I remember reading somewhere that Death Korps troops make up a significant part of the IG. Is this still true?

Also why can you only purchase them on FW?

>>51661105
Yes they do.

There's billions of Cadians around the Galaxy, whether on active duty or retired to new worlds.

Are cognis H.stubbers worth it on Dunecrawlers, just in case it falls off instead of the main gun?

>>51661123
Yes, Because Games Workshop is run by jews.

You've been asleep for 60 million years. You sold our your mortality and, in return, literally accomplished deicide. Your gods aren't just products of belief, but are literal forces of nature. You developed the technology to CAPTURE those gods and use them as tools. Your civilization thrives upon the breaking of fundamental laws of physics. The other races are so far behind your development, they can't even comprehend your actions as anything more than magic.

Every other race in the setting, compared to you, are cavemen. They're, in a figurative sense, just discovering fire but, instead of bowing to you like they should, they're wildly swinging the fire at you and claiming all of your territory as theirs.

You wake up 60 million years after that deicide to find people who are only a few steps away from not even being sapient claiming THEY'RE the most advanced civilization.

Take your throne again, anon. Show the rest of the galaxy who their true rulers are.

Choose Necrons.

>>51661123
>I remember reading somewhere that Death Korps troops make up a significant part of the IG. Is this still true?
Yes. The Vitae Womb means Kriegers can pump out regiments at a significantly higher rate than natural.

>Also why can you only purchase them on FW?
Because the only models they have are resin ones from Forgeworld. Before Forgeworld focused on them in Siege of Vraks all they had were some small sketches in the Guard Codex.

>>51661153
buying an entire reclamation legion as we speak thanks for the convincing anon

>>51661133
I don't play that army so I dunno the specifics but I'm inclined to say no. If you're getting hit hard enough to cause weapons destroyed results, the unit is probably fucked anyway. A one time 50% chance to save your weapon probably isn't worth the points. People like to do the same thing by taking combi-bolters on chaos vindicators, I tried it and it literally never mattered in any game I played.

>>51661063
>What? Are you implying that the Hydra isn't appropriately costed
i thought you were ragging on the onager

>A single Icarus Autocannon isn't particularly likely to destroy a flier on Interceptor,
no but it has the potential too, with a greater likely hood to hit
>Hydra puts out more HP of damage point-for-point than the significantly more expensive Icarus Onager.
Unfortunately you're not wrong but that's because it costs 125.
I've preferred the better accuracy as well, though it fits better in a pure skit army because of the BSDT for the 6' +1 ld

>>51661006
Krieg soldiers are the kind of thing that would be less scary if they were not human. They aren't scary because they have masks, or you can't see their eyes, or they are obediant, but because they are completely soulless killing machines trained and bred to throw their lives away, shaped like humans.

Commissar understand the cost of war and the fear it inflicts on soldiers better than anyone, and have spent years training to keep morale up in the more dire of situations at any cost. But then you hand them a squad of people who will without question tackle a genestealer with a combat knife to give you an extra four seconds to set up a heavy bolter before opening fire on both of them.

Commissars understand the humanity in fear better than anyone, and these things lack it.

>>51661187
Alright, cool. I was just trying to find something to throw points at to fill out 1k, and I can't see much use in giving 5++ to my alphas.

>>51661017
>HB in BSS
Honey just use flamers in those squads maybe 2 meltas in case you lack anti tank for some reason.

HF in the Immolator with Dominion could be more useful, since it can flame the troops that drop from a transport, but that is just a matter of choice.

The HQ is the main issue, it requires a lot of points and gear to work properly at that point just get old or New Celestine or a Priest since now they can be HQ choice for cheap.

You run Melee Canoness in bigger games when you can waste the points

Melee SoB units all share the same problem. No way to get into combat. So Rhino (yours needs one less Repentia for a priest or big cow) are bad for that you need to hope your opponent ignores the Rhino, the Repentias and then he some how does not overwatch them.

Repentias are T3 models with no save that hit at I1. Since everyone and their mothers has S6+ their FnP means shit

>>51661123
Last thing I read said they produce something like 20 regiments a year compared to a normal planet producing one every ten years, or something.

But their losses are through the fucking roof, so take that into account.

>Canoness
Sorry man, 1 relic limit per model. Below 1k points I usually go for St. Aspira's cloak.

>Repentia
Don't really work with a Rhino. They work best with Jacobus who gives them a 5++ with his Warlord trait, and an additional use of their 3+++. War hymns and Counter attack are the cherry on top.

>Rhino
Just spend the little bit extra for an Immolator. You won't regret it.

>Battle sisters
They're ok where they are in this list, but when you expand this list in the future they won't fit in so well. I'd say double Flamers and a combi-flamer on the superior, or Flamer and a Heavy Flamer.

>Dominions
Lookin' good.

>Dominion Immolator
If you get first turn and you scout, your Immolator is 18" away from your opponent's table edge at the end of your movement phase on turn 1.
Because you're so close, you should consider the Twin-linked Heavy Flamers.
