    One thing I would suggest, now that big guard tanks can't get lethal hits, is the knight castelan, its effectively a shadowsword + leontus order + tech priest all in one with a slightly worse main anti tank gun (d3 shots instead of d3 +1 but slightly higher average damage and the ability to swing into one hits), but with better seccondaries, and with the knight rules its easier for it to find targets and move around.

    As a knights player I was suspicious of canis Rex when I first saw him, then every time I shot or fought he blew me away with the consistent sustained hits getting thrown all over the place. I prefer the knight lancer because I think it’s cooler, has 3 more wounds, 4 inches extra movement, and a permanent 4+ invuln. Canis does feels amazing to play when you swing 5 times, hit all of them and sustain on top of that in melee.

    Canis is stronger for his points than any other big knight, but they're all fragile for 400+ points. There needs to be killy ones for it to be worth playing anything but armiger spam. Bring balanced shooting and they go down just fine. Dont and you'll get spanked just as hard by ironstorm or guard tank hammer as you did by knights. Knights arent the only skew around.

    Maybe I'm being picky here. The probability of exactly 5 successes from 5 six sided dice showing a 2+ is 0.4. The chance of rolling 5 passes is not that high. The probability of at least 4 is much higher, at 0.8. And you're unlucky if you roll less than 3 successes.
    I would be expecting to roll some ones over a game though. Although I didn't calculate expectations.
    I know this is picky, but it's impotent if you're trying to understand what you're success rate will be.
    I'm not trying to high and mighty here. So if you think these numbers are wrong, please let me know.
    I just used the probability distribution for the binomial. And I'm assuming perfectly weighted dice, which may or may not be the case.
    This is bad habits from playing too much blood bowl........
    I didn't check the conditional probabilities related to invulnerability saves of a 5+. But this could a fun exercise.

  • @alessiogiuffrida6172

    Canis Rex as ally for the Guard is a waste of points; a Cerastus Lancer is more valuable just because of its inbuilt 4++ and 14 move. Canis Rex is just too slow and less durable, if it doesn't die outright from enemy shooting it dies in melee against élite melee infantry units. As ally it also doesn't benefit from Knights's Oath and fnp 6+ detachment rule.

    • @justinmsc5
      @justinmsc5 29 днів тому

      It's suboptimal but I wouldn't call it a waste of points. Canis has been on the lowest end of viable as an ally for a long time, but still viable. Every time an imperial codex has bad win rates and is lacking a big punchy distraction, people start showing up with him.
      You can get tournament wins with him, which is probably impossible if you took that many points in truely bad units.
      Hard countered by Tau though. Against melee armies he can usually hit first and take out 200-300 points (shooting and melee), get counter punched to oblivion, then you light up whatever killed him. It's not horrible.

And It costs just 5 points less. The lack of firepower in comparison isn't that big of a problem, CR can kill in most cases 2-3 infantry models at best with its pulse laser, nothing to write home about.

    Seeing as this is an Allies vid, I'm going to say something unpopular; im hoping that the Deathwatch gets sacked as a standalone faction, or unit option for just Space Marines, and gets rolled into a book of Allies & Agents. Even compared to Astartes, as I see them, DW don't take too the field in strength; a Kill Team is a squad, or two, and helps a standing force, and I would love to see "a squad of Space Marines", maybe with an Inquisitor, take to the field wirh Guard, and give them an assault option. They refuse to make them good, so maybe make them a good oprion for others, instead?
    As for Canus Rex, im glad to see him being decent, and a good Ally for forces to field. Im not as keen on IKs as a whole force, unto themselves, and it feels more like an asset seconded to an army, which he is here. Definitely strong, and I am a fan, though it does surprise me that the overall Imperium doesn't just force their compliance, and make them work within Guard structure, which they can then plan various battles around having. Still, glad they, and he, are options.
    Dumb side question. I know this channel can often lean on the side of Tech Priest Engineseers arent worth it, and don't take them, even though they seem a decent thing, standing behind a long range tank, keeping it topped off, but if you did have one, could it repair Rex, or another Knight, while they hang back, and shoot, before they've marched off to melee? Can they only fix "Astra Militarum" (Imperial Guard) tanks, or can an allied Knight also get Wounds replaced? Just curious.

      Questoris Knights being a 3+ save is what lets them belong in normal games. If they were 2+ it would nullify almost every balanced army list, but 3+ lets infantry guns have a chance to deal actual chip damage to them
