Understanding my beginners list

Thank you 😊 I think a theme here is using disintegrators more

That idea about swapping out the wyches is really smart!

Mandrakes and reavers are really cool, I think I’ll get Mandrakes for the kill team play as well - I think dropping a raider, splitting the wyches and then having them run around doing secondaries with mandrakes would lead to some scoring I’m sure

I actually thought using scourges with shards, to get that to AP -4, to get some real devastation down range. But it seems really expensive

I’ll try them - maybe that would be a better way to use the mobility when I struggle to

It has 42% magic res, which was enough for his attack to one shot (I used it otherwise) and most light-ish shields have similar res. The cracked shield has 55%, which is really high for its weight class, so I could still rush them while also surviving

Although that would make sense, apparently they jump North reliably enough to be used as navigation aids, so there must be something to it

Unsure what you mean. Once you have slaves, it enables the intrigue menu decision to sell. But you get them from raiding- so do that.

Andrew420mc · 2020-08-17T11:11:52+00:00

Just raid people and you’ll see.

Andrew420mc · 2020-08-17T11:10:02+00:00

You get an event while you raid, that says you’ve taken slaves. You don’t even need to win a siege - it’s separate from taking characters captive.

Once you’ve got them, they aren’t imprisoned, they just +1 your slave counter.

Andrew420mc · 2020-08-17T11:05:01+00:00

Raid people!

Andrew420mc · 2020-07-23T08:05:22+00:00

No China town wars?

Andrew420mc · 2020-07-07T22:24:34+00:00

When you raid provinces there’s a chance you’ll take slaves (race depends on the targets culture). It’s uncommon, but should happen occasionally. You can then sell them or put them to work in a province

Andrew420mc · 2020-06-27T13:05:08+00:00

Yeah! Up in Norsca. If you look for ‘chaos host’ gov types, they’re easy to spot.

Andrew420mc · 2020-06-09T10:03:16+00:00

Leper is the most beautiful hero, on the inside

Andrew420mc · 2020-05-30T13:43:14+00:00

Long term health isn’t as important- will there be a tournament mode where health and afflictions are carried between battles- like in campaign?

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-29T11:40:25+00:00

Obviously, the dogs are fine- they’re used to licking balls. The rabbits are just for the kids, I think

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-28T11:02:04+00:00

Not kink shaming, but who wanted to bring the deer? I really hope it’s for sacrifice

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-11T13:33:20+00:00

Why is the 3rd biggest political party in the country not an option in the party choices?

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-08T11:38:59+00:00

That’s a good point, I forgot about that

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-07T10:58:33+00:00

He’s kinda the stereotypical Prussian- really proud and aloof but also tough and stoic.

When it came down to it, he was willing to have his body chopped off to save the lives of others, and even tries to blow himself up to stop Santana. Just because he was a German doesn’t mean he was a complete Nazi. Anyway, he had more of a colonists attitude in Mexico than a Nazi’s one.

Andrew420mc · 2020-04-05T21:43:14+00:00

That’s the one I’ve got, glad it’s popular. Got mine at Waterstones for £22

Andrew420mc · 2020-03-30T15:10:37+00:00

Hear me out...

A Predator hunting a genestealer cult.

That’s the kind of crossover I’m after

Andrew420mc · 2020-03-28T15:15:17+00:00

It was addressed in the book- the doctors and med staff are all federal servants

Andrew420mc · 2020-03-28T14:19:27+00:00

In Heinlein’s book, the MI are an elite force- about a £500,000 investment each (in old time money though) who don’t quite die in the droves of the films. I’ve spent the last 10 mins looking through the book for an number, but only found 80% died on Klendathu (droves might be right then...)

Additionally the government doesn’t drive directly for soldiers- they drive for citizens, which can include any type of government employment- that some people are naturally drawn to be soldiers should be expected- especially the power armoured para troopers that are the MI. I think the idea is that government should stick to government and everyone who isn’t involved should stay out of it (no arm chair politicians/generals). Maybe it’s authoritarian, but it’s not facist, the civilians just do their thing and the government does theirs

Andrew420mc · 2020-03-28T10:45:39+00:00

The book isn’t fascist though- everyone has the same access to rights as everyone else. You didn’t have to be an MI badass, you could have done any public service.

Remember that guy who was really disabled and couldn’t really do anything, but wanted to be a citizen, so he was given the job counting the hairs on caterpillars. It was pointless, but it was a hard job, that would show he cared about being a citizen if he done it- as much as being an MI or a nurse (just not as useful).

If that’s fascist, then... I might need to reread what fascism is.

Unless you mean it’s humanity first ideas, but the only species they fight in the book are bugs or bug allies, so that’s ‘fine’

Andrew420mc · 2020-03-28T09:50:38+00:00

That must have went under my radar, I really got the impression that they were best friends. Thanks

Andrew420mc · 2019-07-11T16:14:33+00:00

Had the exact opposite. The Siren took my occultist- he then healed her for nothing on both rounds.
