Subject: Know Your Enemy: Beating Thunderwolf Death Star with IG/AM.
Wolfstar is a top tier list which you will find dominating most tournaments. Strangely Imperial Guard have a decent chance of beating it with the right tactics. Find out how in this video!
Know Your Enemy: Riptide Wing + Drone Net
Riptide Wing is possibly the cheesiest formation out there at the moment. Its a tough matchup, but there are a few tricks that Guard commanders can use to level the playing field.

I will definitely watch this later as I face the wolves often. The most success I've had has been with a rad + psychotroke inquisitor in a priest buffed blob however I would prefer a pure IG solution. I've enjoyed your videos thus far!

Really good video! I have a friend of mine who has space wolves and he always has in his list these thunderwolves that break my army in little pieces :(. Although I don't have such a massive infantry and I don't usually play tournament missions but simple maelstorm missions, with your videos I started to have faith in the imperial guard (and the Emperor) again . Thank you very much for your work,i'm knee deep to see a real battle report with some retrospective tactics discussion!

Thanks for watching! Yes Thunderwolves in general are very nasty but even worse when taken as a death star. Guard can be really good in maelstrom against wolf star if you slow them down with blobs are take maelstrom objectives with small units and outflankers.
I have a battle report planned for this weekend and I will upload it as soon as I can!
