I'm considering going Guilliman as my Lord of War, but was wondering what he's like in more competitive environments, please would you share? Thank you!

Played against him, turned every gun in an Ironwolves detachment on him for a single turn and only got three wounds on him.
Two Lascanon shots.
Eight solid Typhoon Missile Launcher shells.
Nine Plasma shots.
Six Multi-melta shots.
Fourty four bolt shells.
Three wounds.
Girlyman manned up like a man.

Literally D shorted him off.

I've graved him off too.

Bring the right weapon for the job, and he's no threat.

Played him once. He wasn't so much a problem as the units next to him, he was just a counter assault unit. The buff bubble is annoying though, so kill the units near him so no-one gets the buff?

Ignore him/give him a wide berth and shoot the rest of the army off the table.

Played him 3 times. 2nd time, he tarpitted with a Genestealer Patriarch and his Purestrains for the entire game. 3rd time, a similar group from Genestealers killed him in 2 rounds.

I can't remember the 1st game entirely, but I think he camped a center objective and just kinda warded stuff off.

We had a tournament on Sunday and Girlyman was not a big factor. The guy playing him (only guy playing him, btw) lost all three games and came in last. I would not have expected that both because he was playing Skyhammer and because: Girlyman. The player himself is not a noob or poor at the game either so it was very unexpected. Nonetheless, that's what happened

He's a big threat if you run a CC army. I faced him with Nurgle Daemons, and he absolutely wrecked my princes in CC, who were the only ones who had a real chance of taking him down.

If you're high on mobility and shooting, though, shouldn't be too much of an issue. Maybe feed him a chaff unit every once in a while.

The only game i've played against him, he took out 2 knights by himself and didn't lose a single wound against this list.

played against him with a gladius (to show how ridiculous gladius is, the one and only time i have run it) Roberrto Guiltifish was the only thing on the table by the end but he had taken out captain smashfetcher in cc and his whole command squad on bikes thanks to a lucky D hit against the captain and getting a 6 as the result. smashfetcher did put wounds on him though and the next turn he would have been gone due to grav spam and 7 razorbacks with assault cannons ready top open up on him.,

Fought him as Daemons, tired him up with screamerstar for literally the entire game while I killed everything else.

I stay away from him. He can't really move or shoot well. He's easy to block off with a Rhino.

I am grateful, you guys are awesome! It's very helpful to get an idea of what he has been like so far.

8th may play a different picture, but here in 7th one fielding him need avoid fearless masses of tarpit, and not place expectations of him reaching much past midfield against a talented opponent.

He does seem to survive tho. 350pts is quite a bargain - thank you!

He's 350 pts that I will never shoot at. So he just puts more pressure on the other 1500 pts of the list. And he's incompatible with Gladius. Not a big deal, imo.

He's interesting to say the least. I have played with and against him and he's a living tank. Never seen him die. Not once. Take him and against up people who don't play against girlyman, you wreck and those who have you don't. He's a hard punch that softens up after experience
