The last balance update dropped Necrons Canoptek Court to 2 Detachment Points and Cousin Josh was ready to celebrate. Erik saw it and called it fool’s gold before the ink was dry on the update. The guys use that disagreement as a case study in how to stress-test a list before you fall in love with it and why knowing your lose condition matters just as much as knowing your win condition.
Along the way they cover:
Two DP, two opinions — why Josh and Steve saw new detachment pairings and a Necron revival, while Erik saw a trap
The lose condition — Erik walks through the Space Marine play pattern that hard counters Canoptek Court: use Hidden to shut down your long range shooting and then call Assault Doctrine, Charge, and tag everything
ER or PR — why boom-or-bust detachments make for great highlight reels but risky games
Commit to the bit or pivot — Erik’s two fixes: go all in with a Canoptek Court and The Phaeron’s Armoury pairing or swap to Starshatter Arsenal with The Silent King
Swinging from the heels — Erik rebuilds the new Canoptek list live on air and talks himself into actually wanting to play it
Whether you’re here for the list-building lessons or just want to hear Cousin Josh relitigate The Little Scarab That Could, this one’s for you.
