This, seriously. Don't try to skip around with stuff like sharpies or whatever until you have a grasp of painting, because then you'll just have messy sharpie everywhere.

Dunno where you're getting that from, it's not in the rules you quoted.

RAW if they're using those detachments then Factions don't even matter as none of the ones they've written up feature the 'all units in this detachment must share a faction' that all the official ones have.

Remember: Battle Forged is not the same as the matched play requirement on everything needing to share a faction. Battle Forged is literally just 'Uses detachments and gains CP'.

Yeah, I clearly mis-read the line about faction keywords being needed to share CP and transports. Mea culpa, I was tired as hell last night.

How do you build genestealer cults lists with a mix of cult, tryanid and guard? I know nothing about any of the factions so any advice would be wonderful.

The basic gist of it is that both Tyranids and Genestealer Cults share the Tyranid keyword, so they can already be played in the same army, no problem. Though most of the special rules for both don't apply to each other, so you probably want to split them in their respective detachments.

However for each pure Genestealer Cult detachment (only GSC units, no Tyranids in it) you can also include a single Imperial Guard detachment in your army, ignoring the usual restrictions of doing so. So basically if you want to run units from all three, you just need to have three detachments:

1) Tyranid Detachment (This one can also be mixed Tyranid/GSC units, if you for some reason need to do so.)
2) Genestealer Cult Detachment (Nothing but GSC units, no Tyranid codex units allowed.)
3) Imperial Guard Detachment

The Dakka thread on the winner of the UK GT is some high-grade stuff. 2 pages in and we've already got a massive slapfight about whether Tacticals are actually not terrible or if Guilliman is just that OP that he carries the whole army, the guy with the superheavy fetish shoehorning it in again (this time to have a whine because everyone told him triple Baneblade is boring), and a whole fistful of no-names who've never won anything trying to "optimise" the winning list. Notably lacking: any discussion of why the oh-so-broken Guard book, which is so broken that there was no need to wait and see whether it might actually be fine, placed only 5th or 6th (not sure what the composition of the 5th place "Imperium" army was).

It will never cease to amuse me how top players generally quietly get on with their business, while a deafening chorus of mediocre-to-bad players on the internet wank themselves into a frenzy of everything being broken or too spammy or proof of how the game is complete irredeemable poo poo.

I didn't do it this way, but if I did it again, I'd do it this way:
Legs + cock robe + chest
Wings
Arm with gun
Arm without scythe
Scythe
rear end skirt with chains
Random chains

The only part that is really a pain in the rear end is painting the inside of the robe after you attach the arms to the body. It is very difficult (almost impossible) to get a brush in there without getting stuff on the armor. Everything else is nitpicky.

knowing what to expect against a strong AM list is laughable. They can beat you multiple way because literally ever unit in their codex is better than yours. I mean - these are some real uphill battles from the start. You almost can't call them battles. It's how I know he didn't face any legit AM armies. Do you really think this guy would have a chance against a supreme command russ division with a baneblade? And a batallion composed of conscripts commissars and mortars? NO - nothing stands a chance against that.

I’m curious what the mission types were.

The guy’s list isn’t “bad” but you won’t see it winning here in the states. I took something similar to ATC months ago, and it did alright. I’m willing to even allow this guy is better than me, but I’m baffled he was able to take out 3 baneblades without any ranged AT.

When I ran this list I was absolutely smashed by guard artillery spam, and brimstone smite spam.

My Primaris Raptors detachment is nearly complete - all they're missing is an apothecary now. I could add some small things like a 5 man carbine Reiver squad or luxuries like a Primaris dread / Repulsor, but before I do that I'm tempted to build a small detachment of Guard matching the spec ops / kind of realistic theme I got going for them (I really want to paint some camo schemes).

I'm looking at some Tempestus Scions with maybe a Valkyrie (the idea being to give them lots of meltas since Primaris are short on anti vehicle options) but part of me want to go full retard and build a small detachment of Elysian drop troops instead... I love those sculpts and I wouldn't mind a couple sniper or heavy weapon teams...

They played straight Eternal War. I think GW said they were going to randomly roll mission/deployment before each game (as in the TO rolls for all games).
