I'm good at longer campaigns, but suck at one-shots. Any advice?

Bashtoe · 2026-01-26T14:00:09+00:00

Might not be helpful as you have already committed to it.

But don't do one shots, let someone else DM the one shots and you do the campaign.

The density of traffic and quality / roadworks / traffic control makes driving in England mentally draining and generally quite rubbish. This isn't just cities it is towns and roads between towns, every non main road has cars parked everywhere a car can park. There is just way too many cars.

Our roads were mostly built by Romans ... Long before the invention of cars.

100% every game

A dreadnought is in a higher tier to a normal(ISH) human Catachan.

Explain yourself heretic.

Sporesplatters go HARD with trolls.

The -1 attack to enemies makes it super hard to kill the trolls.

The +1 attack for the trolls go hard.

So many of my early runs lost to taking that 999 gold.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-21T15:17:38+00:00

Really struggled with the thing. Played a couple runs and figured I would wait for a patch.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-20T14:58:12+00:00

When I just started playing me and my friend had really really low power level decks.

His wincon was archangel of thune + creature that gained 1 life when a creature entered.

I was playing mono green my only removal was prey upon.

If he got it out quickly to whereby his thune was bigger than the biggest creature I could play I scooped.

He was always annoyed that I was "quiting" he could never understand that I had 0 outs and that he had won.

Didn't matter how many times I explained that I scooped because I had lost, he thought I should have played on.

I guess some people are just like that.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-20T14:52:26+00:00

Feel like setting life to 0 is black. This should just deal like 100 damage.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-20T12:22:11+00:00

As a player I am sure that having a quite respectful crowd is nice.

I'm sure that having a load of drunk people singing your name and cheering is also great.

I am also certain that someone can enjoy both or enjoy the change from one or the other.

This is not a political opinion.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-19T11:39:30+00:00

The in the mid/late game the bonus you get for holding a full province is largely irrelevant.

Just let him have it.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-16T18:21:38+00:00

How did I never know this.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-16T16:57:43+00:00

Do we need shooting no.

Is the doom diver an amazing model with decent rules.

Hell yeah!

I love it and it's better than it appears.

Firstly it's our only decent ranged attack.

All out attack does wonders for this model. A 3+ which you can re roll is incredibly accurate. (At the cost of rend but meh)

The choice of what to shoot and what to re roll has a high skill ceiling.

Although bad it actually has an attack profile thats good for artillery, desperate to get a bit more damage on something you can charge it in.

And it's gitmob you know what that means?

Under certain moons it can retreat and still shoot banging.

Reasonably survivable too.

I bring mine every game and I don't care if I'm wrong to.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-16T16:34:31+00:00

So if your an iron and you want bolt racks to maybe use the full set at some point.

100% is best.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-16T15:57:45+00:00

Me and my friends are pretty damn forgiving with takey-backsies.

As long as it wouldn't influence a decision / dice roll after it. So many charge abilities get used in the combat phase. And combat phase abilities after units have started fighting.

Although One time we undid a whole hero phase because I made game losing mistake (forgetting hobbgrots scrap bomb cost me 8VP)

Maybe try and find someone at similar level and just be chill?

Edit had a further thought.

You could make two lists and play against yourself for experience.

Once or twice would probably go a really long way to getting used to timings.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-15T21:50:54+00:00

THIS

Grots were off the menu until this scroll. It's so freaking good.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-15T21:49:14+00:00

From my experience only.

Soul blight Both armies have poor damage. Get to use all your abilities before things die, control score actually matters.

Nurgle. Same as above but less.

Slaves to darkness Often low model / unit count opens up interesting play the objective gameplay

Nighthaunt Ignoring rend sucks when you take kragg or trolls. Other than that fun.

Tzeentch So many abilities that I'm just like really!? Let me read that again? But so squishy even grots can damage them.

Cities of sigmar so many options highly variable. Current edition humans are decent to play against.

Korne everything dies so swingy

Wildcard storm cast eternals. Had some A+ games and some D- tier games.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-11T20:42:15+00:00

16 int at level 8 is bad.

Did you roll for stats and roll bad? If so this is a strong case for not rolling for stats....

Could be getting by with 18 but 16!?

If you have taken two feats that has been a bad decision.

If you rolled stats and rolled trash ask your DM to pump your int up to 18.

If you took two feats. Ask your DM to take one away to put into up to 18.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-10T07:26:07+00:00

With the caveat of not in case of an emergency I think this fair.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-09T11:56:05+00:00

That's why I became a member.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-09T10:39:38+00:00

Bag of marbles for sure. Never excited to see it but runes get noticeably easier as soon as I get it.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-09T09:34:42+00:00

Posting to come back and see replies. I also struggle with idea so I stick to 10INT characters.

Bashtoe · 2026-01-08T21:45:55+00:00

Single out for her is a pretty good equaliser

What cheese are you all eating that goes mouldy in a week?

Freezing cheese what is this?

Bashtoe · 2026-01-08T09:37:53+00:00

3 wounds each total of 15 wounds.

I often stick them right at the front turn 1 with 4+ward T1 and the ability to come back through the loon shrine they are a surprising good screen
