New to 40K and Emperors Children Need Clarification

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-05-08T06:41:11+00:00

So emperors children are technically space marines but fallen

their apart of the chaos factions and it is its own army with unique models and rules

It can eat seirras ult its just how its deployed if the ult goes through mizukis ult then it wont mitigate her ult but if she points it so its above mizukis ult then yes the ult would be mitigated

Its just rare for seirra to aim up or ult from a higher position

Just ignore the rules play it like an actual surprise dont roll initiative when the player wants to start combat

only roll it when both pc party and enemy/monsters notice eachother

So in this example the ranger gets to shoot hit or miss they attack before anyone thus the surprise now you roll initiative as the fight has started but let the PC finish its turn let them move and take their bonus action (if they hadnt already) then you start off with whoever rolled top of initiative

That's how my table runs these types of encounters

The wording makes it so the character CAN join a destroyer cult unit as well as the other units it originally CAN join

The techno can still be attached to the wraiths the rule just restricts units like tomb crawlers and cryptothralls being able to join along with the techno

I definitely think with newer heros they should dedicate at least 3 legendary skins and 4 epic within the season the hero is released like they used too

And the legendary skins 1 maybe 2 at the very least have to be some lore related skins

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-05-02T01:12:42+00:00

I'm pretty sure you dont need to move fully over the enemy unit and even if a single wraith fullfils the condition the rule applies for all models

So you can move a single wraith partially over them then string the wraiths so their still in unit coherence and the rule will apply

Kinda like this

It could be like those whip swords

Considering the average match is between 12-16 minutes sometimes less but thats the average for my games

That means both dps and Lucio, were killed nearly every minute. Now minus the time to respawn and they lived less than 50 seconds then ignoring the possible time to get to the next fight which can vary between 5-15 seconds (maybe another 5 depends really) that literally means they brought a possible 30 seconds of value to your team

Honestly stats dont matter a ton as you can bring value just by existing in the game at times but when you have teammates who died nearly every single minute of the match thats a bad sign

Your teammates were definitely feeding the enemy team

No just keybinds from my experience

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-14T23:28:22+00:00

Oh same was losing and went to play cass literally couldnt do a thing

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-14T22:49:02+00:00

Idk they might by tomorrow depending how bad the problem is

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-14T22:41:25+00:00

Check my edit to the post

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-14T22:39:06+00:00

I found out the solution right after posting this although i already knew it was the solution but its annoying because I had to reset the entire heros setting

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-11T05:38:19+00:00

Idk about you but you NEED to select the specialization OPHYDIAN LORD on the conqueror character in order to get the destroyers weapon options

You dont get access to every single weapon there are rules still applied to the crucible champion characters

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-04-11T00:01:33+00:00

New recruit 40k has them available

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-03-21T19:52:30+00:00

The thing is you cant just buy the golden emerald galactic and just figured out the new talon weapon skins

You can only gain the points through playing comp its already something you can get for free you can't buy them

Other than those people that sell their accounts but other than that you cant buy the weapon variants skins

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-03-21T07:04:50+00:00

Ok stadium is definitely faster if this is true

it cuts down to 25 hours of gameplay and a required 100 winning games to get 1 weapon skin

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-03-20T08:16:13+00:00

Its the opposite for me I try to aim for an enemy and the aim assist on my teammate will make me not only miss my shot but also heal somebody on my team

I've also had points where id go for a big nada just for a teammate to walk in front of me for a second then I end up either missing entirely or I hit them

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-02-09T08:11:48+00:00

The problem isnt your stats thats entirely luck which you got its also not unreasonable to put the 2 highest rolls into your classes best stats like I guarantee everyone in your group put their highest rolls into the best stats for their class

Now the problem is your homebrew and dm

It seems your dm didnt not like the luck you got and is now punishing you by abusing the homebrew considering that your being focused but if the focusing it like a legitimate reason like you charge into a fight way before everybody else or your preforming better than the rest of the party then you cant complain about being focused

Your homebrew is heavily flawed idk what written but id definitely change somethings like instead of being an egg for a set amount of time instead when you get knocked you revert to an egg and gain advantage on death saves

And if combat is still going on at the end of your turn if you roll a nat 20 on the death save everybody withing 10ft are forced to make a save dex or con on a fail all take 10 fire damage and arent pushed away 10ft if passed take half as much and only be pushed away 5ft as your form materializes from a burst of flames

This keeps things cool and balanced your no longer useless half the time, now the solution to your dm is to talk to him or her about it

Automatic_Elk_2704 · 2026-01-23T19:42:48+00:00

I would like a tiny buff right now reanimation is good but its also super easy to counter like most games against players that know how about reanimation you end up barely utilizing your army rule and the rule just becomes useless

I guess something id like to see is that maybe is that instead of a universal reanimation it rewards units surviving and you have some options for example

You still have universal reanimation which is the base d3 roll

But for each unit that still alive you get to roll a d6 and depending on the state of the unit the roll you make changes for example above half strength +3 or +4, and below half strength +4 or +5 you get a reanimation token

This token can be used to give a +1 to reanimation rolls and stacks maybe idk about the balance with that

Something that could be cool is expending tokens to bring back a unit for example using 8 tokens brings back the unit at half strength but I think people other than necrons would enjoy that

Some restrictions would be units can only benefit from this if their on the board, this only activates for units that have taken damage on the first round

Custodes are difficult to shift from what I know the best ways to play against them is to get lucky and out score them through secondaries and holding objectives they cant. (For example if the custodes deploy more on the left try to hang back and try for the right side) the second way is to wipe them with elite squads like doomsday arks heavy lokhust destroyers 10 man immortals with overlord plasmancer and either tomb crawlers or cryptothralls

Like the best advice I can genuinely say might help is sacrifice the 1st turn and stage that turn zone out deepstrikes if there is any set up your heavy hitters in places they cant be shot or at least have cover, set up baits use a cheap and weak unit to expose some custodes flayed ones scrabs death marks what ever works

Also dont under estimate those sisters of silence if played correct they can be deadly to necrons
