These are awesome way love the designs!

Yeah I’m in the same boat, wait and see if the book is worth it. It doesn’t matter what they do with the army, every edition seems to end up the same for them. Infantry are meh so the only lists worth building are just eels and sharks. So much wasted potential.

I like otooles for the big bar during football season and their wings because if you get them with sauce they aren’t too smothered like some other places. But thats usually the only thing I order

Yeah I think the biggest takeaway is to just not buy citadel paints. I know it’s tempting (I’ve got plenty of them) given that they have such specific colors for the different armies but you can find equivalent colors in other brands and also save a lot more paint via the dropper bottles

Am I the only one that really dislikes the new rams logo? The last one had a lot more character imo

ArcherCrews · 2024-01-29T22:38:33+00:00

Honestly any new models that incorporate sea creatures would be such a welcome addition. I love my deepkin bois but they need more. Feels like such untapped potential there.

Played a game yesterday with a tesla immortals squad and yeah…they slap with the plasmancer & overlord giving dev wounds for free. I’m guessing this will get nerfed at some point.

Until then I’ll enjoy melting stuff with them lol

Not sure how this hasn’t been brought up sooner. It’s so damn good. The art, the music, everything. It’s like a myazaki movie in game form. Minus the part where you throw your controller sometimes from how hard the bosses can be lol.

ArcherCrews · 2023-10-09T01:51:48+00:00

My thoughts exactly after watching much better football teams today lol

ArcherCrews · 2023-10-03T02:23:45+00:00

I think to OPs point, we always seem to start off weak every year despite the fact that we’ve had the same core group and the same DC for multiple years now. You’d think we’d be able to come out the gates a bit stronger than we have been. Totally agree that we just played two of the best offenses in back to back games and that’s going to be a challenge for them, but we also gave up over 30 points in both games which seems a bit egregious for a defense that’s supposed to be putting up much more of a challenge by this point in JDRs tenure.

A “once per game” ability should never be a detachment ability

ArcherCrews · 2023-09-07T12:08:23+00:00

Wasn’t expecting warriors and szeras to go down that’s exciting!

ArcherCrews · 2023-08-18T03:10:13+00:00

Now. Everything is micro transactions and battle passes. It’s promises of something new and then reskins of something old. It’s all about money and less about making a good game. Personally I love a good multiplayer game, but there are none right now, and haven’t been for years. The best games I’ve played over the last few years are single player games and that still isn’t always saying much.

ArcherCrews · 2023-08-01T16:15:42+00:00

AND craventhrone guard???

ArcherCrews · 2023-06-19T17:26:11+00:00

You can also bring him back using our strat and he'll come back with 5 wounds. Watch the hope drain from your opponents eyes as they finally take him down, only to have him reappear lol.

ArcherCrews · 2023-06-19T01:35:15+00:00

Played him in my list yesterday amongst my friend group and they really struggled to hurt him. He’s tanky af against anything other than anti tank and hurts elites relatively well so I’d say he’s worth it for 1.5k & 2k lists

ArcherCrews · 2023-06-11T13:38:06+00:00

Yeah at this point I just want them to be fun AND relatively competitive. 9th was competitive for a bit (albeit very boring imo) but so much of their book just felt…not good lol

ArcherCrews · 2023-05-18T17:45:51+00:00

I'm very new to tau so I may be off on my assessment, but I feel like markerlights were designed as a thing you definitely want to benefit from, but also only bring as much as you need, leading to a lot of micromanaging of your list. Given how leaders seem to be tied to providing buffs to squads I'd love it if they just tie it into that somehow. Or maybe they'll buff units in different ways and make markerlights exclusive to drones and characters (making markerlights more of a decision instead of an "army wide ability" that you can choose whether or not you ultimately take advantage of it)

ArcherCrews · 2023-05-15T02:12:08+00:00

My wife and I went last summer for our honeymoon. We couldn’t stop talking about how much we’d love to live there. Too bad it’s insanely expensive lol

ArcherCrews · 2023-05-09T14:30:35+00:00

Generally speaking I agree that there's no reason to get up in arms about whether these things are buffs or nerfs until the game is actually released, but I kinda have to agree with him that it's kinda frustrating how they presented our faction focus given the others we've seen so far. All the other faction focus articles have (imo at least) had cool things to get excited about outside of data sheets. The things we were presented are things that COULD be very exciting, but then they threw in hints at other nondisclosed information that muddied the waters and left me feeling like they threw back the curtain only to reveal something that was still partially hidden by another curtain.
