    After graduating from BGU (Blood God University) and received my MA in WH40KChaosTactics, I received a job in the Eye of Terror. All thanks to Professor Blog. holds up flesh diploma with the seal of Chaos.

    As a Blood Angel player, I can’t condone your fanaticism with the ruinous powers… BUT as a fellow melee enthusiast, your tips and tricks for charging + piling in are INVALUABLE. Honestly, some of these tricks can feel “scummy”, specifically against newer players, but melee needs all the help it can get to be able to make a difference in this shooting/tank meta. Maybe the upcoming Pariah Nexus mission expansion will give us new strategies or incentives to get into melee easier

    Used to use the Heroic Ingress trick myself all the time as a Custodes player. Dropping 6 Allarus Custodes was my favourite thing in the world, did not meet a single opponent who did not give me a " Are you serious? " look afterwards. Favourite instance was versus my best friend, his full squad of eight bound where ready to go slaughter my Witchseekers holding a No-mans objective, in comes the Allarus, and suddenly, he has no more Eightbound, still gives me shit for it to this day.

    One other option with the 'Puncture Wound' is to charge the screening unit with Angron, but use fly to move over them and base them from behind. This can then put you close enough to the second unit to Pile In when the first unit is destroyed.
  • @obsidanix
    On the first tip, you can fight in two ranks as per the core rules so the bezerkers just need to base with their own unit to fight as well!? As per page 33 of the core rules "a model can fight if it is base to base contact with another model from its own unit that itself is in base to base contact with an enemy" therefore that isn't going to reduce the attacks or only by 1 berserker?
  • @LordyT34
    I got totally screwed at my last event because of fighrs first, thanks for the tip! Now I have plans
  • @SpaceMarine_
    This is really good. Way better content than what I was getting in the Vanguard Tactics /Art of War 40k paywall content. Subscribed!
  • @sinaptic
    This is pure gold - thanks for sharing these... Melee in 10th hits like a wet noodle (unless you're playing WE/Chaos) so any strategic insights into getting more out of the charge/fight phase in this edition is really appreciated.
  • @bobbywatson2737
    Amazing video man ; many thanks for those tricky moves that can really help a melee list ! 👌
  • Perfect Tipps for my Next Event! Keep up the good work! Would love to see some World Eaters Battlereports
  • @harryp9365
    Great video around how to counter the Fight first and Interrupt stratagem.
  • @Nick99100
    The first one has confused me wouldn’t another 3 world eaters be able to attack via being in contact with a base that’s in engagement range? ‘A model can fight if it is in base-to-base contact with another model from its own unit that is itself in base-to-base contact with an enemy unit.’ Also wouldn’t the other models have to move closer to not break unit Cohesion?
  • @jacobdaly3328
    The rapid ingress one is a good idea, but those aggressors would just shoot the hounds
  • @Rasmus.Elnegaard
    This was brilliant! Some nice tricks, and the splitscreen worked really well 👍
  • @vought19
