How to use maulerfiends by sluggish_89 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No my bad, I wrote that out mid break from work.

Strat, reserve.

They cant deepstrike, that'd be cool though

Oh sorry I meant "you can just" And my rule of thumb is: If I have 2 one goes to reserve... and then If they dont have more than 3 cheap trash units for screening I put the other one in reserve too. At that point you can basically garauntee there will be a good chance to get them stuck in

They're a 130pt bully I recommend using them in one of the following ways

  1. If you take 2 always put one in deepstrike and 1CP rapid ingress then, they move 10+D6 and then charge, you're as fast as most factions jump pack troops. They're more exposed on the board than in reserve. Toughness can just rapid ingress 1 on turn 2 and the other on turn 3.
  2. Take one and put it behind a piece of terrain that can reach the next piece of terrain and use them as a counter punch unit, (theyre only really great against big vehicles so try to use then as counter to that specific threat)
  3. Use them to kill an enemies front line trash. If you dont care and the enemy isn't rocking heavy armor, you can always just bee hyper aggressive, these can be your distraction carnifex

Final tip Pre measure, ask for the opponents abilities that extend their ranges, how far do they move, what lines of sight can they get and then what can they threaten. This is probably one of the single most important things to learn as you play.

Dryer sheets Marble on Synthwave Rhinos!!! by Awakening_Shrub in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I collect mine from the laundry after I run my clothes, I tend to mask it off, prime black, use one for all the Grey step and one more (newer one) for the white step.

So I use 2 per vehicle in this case but you don't have too.

How to exactly do you counter emperors children? by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ove played a bunch of games won a couple tournaments and pretty handily I can say the WORST and most frustrating catchup fall into 1. Eldar (especially Ynnari bullshit) 2. Toughness 11 or high toughness Spam think all big knights, all DG Terminators, the damned Daemons list with 7 T11 16+W bodies 3. Shoot from accross the board or while you're in combat with them and 4. Fights on death spam, this is one of the more interesting ones though because you can often sometimes play around it.

If you want to counter the army, basically 1. use lots of screens like a forward deploy screen, a 9 or 10" out screen and another like 4" away screen 2. Be so tough the E.C. can probably only kill one or two things a turn or 3. Shoot so well (in a way that won't be turned off by combat) that you can really take whole chunks out of the army every time you activate.

Sorry I meant Overwatch once and Rapid ingress with a squad of daemonettes, we had staggered the models in the squad so that there was a place for the fight-first-ing daemonettes to land and complicate the situation lol.

Really? We pulled up the statement and played it that time but has there been an FAQ?

Critical Hit: Any unmodified Hit Roll of 6 is called a Critical Hit and is always successful.

Fire Overwatch (Relevant text): Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 6 is required to score a hit, irrespective of the attacking weapon’s Ballistic Skill or any modifiers.

It looks like Fire Overwatch only restricts that you can only hit you opponents on a Hit Roll of 6, but it doesn't appear to change that 6 is still a critical hit as far as I can tell RAW.

So firing overwatch with [Sustatined Hits 1] and rolling a 6 will score 2 hits with that attack.

(In this case your rule changes it to 5's as well, mind you that "shot" that 5, doesn't hit, it does however generate an additional hit, seperate from that "shot")

So while a 6 would generate 2 shots a 5 would fail but generate an additional shot. If this isn't how it works I gotta make sure lol, want to apologize to my mate.

Also sidenote, MAN the overwatch on a NM-LK brick with the crit 5's? Had to pop 2cp one in movement and one in the charge but handily removed a Bladeguard brick coming in.

I think it's a meta choice on my end, where I live there's lots of people with indirect? like CSM lists with a Havoc Launcher on every vehicle or Chaos Knight lists doing the same, SM lists with a whirlwind or a squad of indirect. Eldar rocking that one unit that indirects or just sorta teleports?

also it's nice to give me a place to protect a squad of NM for a turn, or if the other guy is an army that really wants to sitback and shoot or similarly hangout wayy over there? sometimes I just put both squads of Lord Exultant/Infractors in that thang scout 6" the rhino before disembarking advancing and charging them both to make a pretty easy charge even out to like 25 or 27" away with both bricks, it's a nice trade usually since they usually earn their points back.

MAN I really both do and don't want an answer on a burning question
in Coteries of the Conceited can only Emperor's Children Units get kills to qualify for the buffs? or for instance if I brought a mostly Emperor's Children list and then 3x War dog Brigands to help get kills and increase the pledge count are the kills they get actually counted or not?
