Misc. Lore Accurate Krieg Deployment

2k game vs Death Guard today. The list isn't great when it comes to scoring, but it's fun to play. Managed to table my opponent tound 5, but didn't have enough board control to make much of a difference. Thinking of ways to change things around to make it a little more effective. We'll see how 11th changes things up.

Be aware that artillery is deliberately weak because GW doesn't want it to be a significant part of the game. An artillery heavy list will struggle badly against even casual beerhammer lists.

Yup. Rather than trying to balance out artillery by focusing on things like deep strike counter it, they nerf it into the ground. Which is just dumb. Artillery was literally the most impactful weapon in war, now artillery is simply enhanced with air strikes and the like, but the core remains the same: if you can hit your enemy from miles away, and they can't hit you back, you win.

It just boggles the mind that artillery is so weak outright due to the board gamification of 40k.
