Well, I have a Imp Guard friend who brings Yarrick once in a while and.... boy, doesn't he piss me off a LOT. I mean.... he keeps coming back and striking me with his nasty claws... Although I do have to agree on the overpriced pnt value of him. I think he could be justified if he had +1 Attack and maybe shaved off 10pnts.

Yah dude, you can't expect yarrick to tear up any army in cc.
Even for most non combat units, it would be tough for him.

I have to say that is somewhat of a false statement in certain situations..... Those powerclaws are nasty.... combined with Eternal Warrior, Force Field and Iron Will, he is a pretty good cc hero as he is.

Chimera +5 Ogryn and Yarrick in tow will kill anything it touches in melee. A power blob can't move at all as quickly. This is an assaulting machine. Sure it is 450pts but it is the strongest and most mobile melee option for IG.

Yes a power blob with 40 or 50 can slowly crawl across the board and eat away at things like a pack of locusts but this is ferocious and fast. They are all immune to most insta death with a T 5 and his eternal warrior. They are now fearless with plenty of wounds. Have a vet squad or a Creed melta squad ride up with them and then get a first melta volly before the assault in or the +1 str to the Ogryn and the +1 initiative.

If he's working for you then that's fine, do you have any battle reports where Yarrick + Ogryns fighting against assaulty units of some sort (GK Paladins, hammernators, etc) or a game where your Yarrick+chimera cruised through the battlefield avoiding the incoming fire. I'm interested in what tactics you use for Yarrick to work especially against the top codices (SW, IG, GK, DE, and BA).



Honestly, Yarrick + Creed + Ogryns are kinda expensive meaning you'll have to sacrifice your other FOC in bringing them.

I know I can just take away Yarrick and the Ogryn and add 3 suicide ST melta squads or take a 3 tank squad of LR's or field 100 vanilla Guardsmen in 2 massive platoons for near similar points but are they really that awesome?

Hey wait...

Y not do all 4 (swap out a ST for melta vets in a chimera ) at 2k points? 1985 pts.
