How to unlock the Handy with Tools achievement in Halo Wars: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Best done on Easy difficulty, making a bunch of cyclops and dropping your repair ability on the core will make this a breeze. try to pump out some hawks and keep some near the core and some near the waves of enemies to make sure the core doesnt get attacked.

I won't downvote this solution, but I think it is flawed. Getting under 4 minutes with no skulls on is extremely difficult. If you enable the skulls which reduce unit build time you can do it in 3.30 easily.

I just found it was best to train and send cyclops from all barracks straight to power core rather than training defences. 3.45

Got it on the first try by using a combination of the guide and comments.
Played on Easy.
Used the two nearest barracks to pump out Cyclops.
Set the Rally Point at the core.
No defenses.
Activated the Pain Train skull
Used the Heal command on the core after I maxed my population.

Confirming...

Playing on easy with Pain Train skull and used the heal command on the core after I maxed my population. Got on my first try.

Thank you, SX Glory.

Don't even bother with training defenses. Go on easy difficulty and just keep training cyclops and sending them to repair. Make sure to use the healing special ability every time its available. For defense just station the other troops you started with next to the core. If done efficiently you should do it in around 3:30.

Play on Easy and spam Cyclops. Select your rally point at the front of the core and use both airlocks closest to the core to produce Cyclops so they automatically heal the core when they arrive. Position the rest of your troops near the core to take care of any enemies that get close and use your Hawks and turrets to defend the upper platform as most enemies will drop on the opposite side and make their way across.

So long as you focus on building Cyclops and protecting the core you should be finished in under four minutes.

In addition to cyclops, you can use the leadership ability for repairs.
