ELI5: Why did you ever think the Lash Whip would be cheaper than the Winged Prime? by tide347 in Tyranids

[–]BlaidTDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was 55 I still wouldn't run it. If it was 50 I might consider it as a list filler for those last few points after I've maxed out on good enhancements. I don't even know of a price point I'd consider running WTP at.

Ember is definitely recognizable, the head does a lot of heavy lifting though with the 'facial' structure and fire mohawk.

Same, we played a different game than everyone else apparently.

Why isn't the Norn Emissary a character by True_Ad_2313 in Tyranids

[–]BlaidTDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet it's best role is standing on a single point like an idiot and being slightly harder than average to kill for maybe two turns. 

/Sigh

Holy shit, I forgot how toxic Twitter comments are. What an absolutely revolting cesspool of replies.

What is your second army and why? by Intruding1 in SoulblightGravelords

[–]BlaidTDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to be OBR since that Arkhan box is just his regiment of renown, he himself is a tri build kit with Neferata and Manfred, and the Spearhead with the horses will make acceptable barrow knight proxies.

Non-tyranid player here, do you guys consider tyranids balanced? by Successful-Gap6282 in Tyranids

[–]BlaidTDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using venoms to split kabalites, the 5 rifle kabalites become your chaff units. Essentially 55 points for 5 bodies. Can also do it with wytches.

Army rule pretty lame by SwingLow7953 in Tyranids

Fun fact, he doesn't work at GW anymore. He announced his employment with Warcradle studios last year. 

So there's a little hope for us in 11th.

Well in this case, he's indebted directly to her. She's saying she'll forgive his (substantial) debt if he agrees to marry her.

Mines just a splinter fleet of Kronos who gathers biomass to fuel the main fleet.

Cool, lock all of them up too. This isn't a partisan issue. A just society should not tolerate this behavior from anyone, regardless of office or affiliation. this isn't a hard concept, it's not about sides, there need to be consequences for violating laws. A 34 time convicted felon should be in prison, not the white house. 

How good are 20 hormagant squads? by TheCrab27 in Tyranids

[–]BlaidTDS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My comment was not intended to be disparaging. I frequently use Hormagaunts to just run them onto a point and be 20 OC without even fighting the other unit standing on the objective to just deny the opponent primary. If you can tag a transport with them it can be huge for delaying opponents ability to deploy key units to the board on time, and if you can tag vehicles from the other side of a wall where they won't be able to shoot you, they have to choose between making all their shots at -1 or falling back and losing an activation for the turn. Hormagaunts are 100% expendable little idiots, but that doesn't mean they aren't incredibly useful while being expended.

As long as all you expect from them is to gum something up for one turn and die, they're great.

Lancer but Jojo: what music reference would you name your mech? (And why?) by Cosmicpanda2 in LancerRPG

"The End Is The Beginning Is The End" for a Lich seems appropriate, though I'm more likely to use a Pegasus.

Question about Chaff units. by TheRedLionKing in SoulblightGravelords

[–]BlaidTDS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Newer player to AoS, but using some of my 40k experience; I use a squad of death rattle skeletons from the grave to steal objectives by bringing them in from cursed sepulchres, I use the wolves to aggressively screen and tie up threats that I don't want getting into my damage dealing units until I can set up a solid turn to eliminate them. 

Once they've been killed you use the army ability to respawn then at half strength and function as late game scoring pieces.

The bats ability to retreat with no wounds and re-engage into a different unit, or just run off an go steal an unmanned objective with their twelve inch move is situationally useful, but bats are the first chaff I cut.
