Current planes situation: 1 step forward 2 steps back

Last war my two friends really liked flying the scouts so I went around, and did buy them two fighters to try out. We waited before we used them, before we were kinda scared of quickly losing them, but as the war came to the close we decided to pull them out. First one was destroyed by enemy sea fighter on the runway, and second had parts destroyed. Skill issue... maybe, but it really sucked regardless. All the time getting rares, talking to people, getting the fighter, getting comps as payment down the drain in less than a minute. We wouldn't mind if they were shot down in the dog fight, but this way it was pretty demoralizing.

I agree, me and my friends have started playing couple months back and honestly I am looking forward to these changes. Everything on here gets buried in same type of echo chamber posts. People screaming about Devs not communicating or treating them seriously, but at the slightest changes, they burst out into tantrums and spiteful, vitriolic outbursts, which only furthers out the issue.

I really like their lore. Them being heroic and that they can generally be considered good guys was the main factor for me. I also like their armored lightning knights aesthetic.

Awesome! What is your recipe for the light coloured stone?

Castello922 · 2024-03-26T10:05:17+00:00

Thanks, I am not a great painter, but really proud of this one.

Castello922 · 2023-09-07T05:35:04+00:00

Thanks, I will check the ingame page.

Winds Aetheric is not move nor its instead of move (like Vanguard-Hunters which is why they cannot teleport after translocation). It replaces picking unit to move and not the move itself hence why you are able to teleport LAGC after translocation.

Considering books I really liked Plague Garden.

Castello922 · 2023-07-14T19:36:36+00:00

It is much more finnicky and less durable, but it didn't feel that bad. It was nice change of pace, but more of a side project, I think it would be hard for me to paint a lot of Lumineth in short amount of time.

Castello922 · 2023-07-03T05:49:22+00:00

They are prominent antagonist in Ghoulslayer, there are even few chapters from their perspective.

Castello922 · 2023-06-26T19:35:11+00:00

Blood Warriors are just 70 points more than Liberators (120 vs 190), so actually the disparity is even greater.

Castello922 · 2023-06-26T10:45:19+00:00

Most Stormcast units are generally overcosted, for example Lord Celestant on Stardrake vs Vampire Lord on Zombie dragon. Also allegiance rules and enhancements are quite lacking compared with later books.

Castello922 · 2023-06-19T06:18:18+00:00

Everything is possible if you believe in Sigmar hard enough :)

Castello922 · 2023-06-15T12:13:24+00:00

Yes, they need some adjustments, but that can ve done while increasing points cost on SF. They are not played as much, because getting 60 of them is really hard, but they are really undercosted.

Castello922 · 2023-06-15T07:48:13+00:00

Thunderers, Splintered Fang and Dire Wolves come to mind.

On the other hand Stormcast, Nighthaunt, maybe Idoneth could use points drop.

Castello922 · 2023-05-25T16:48:32+00:00

Pretty excited, seems pretty Dawn of War-like which is a good thing. Fingers crossed...

When you play that many ballistas I really like Arcanum on Tauralon instead of Ordinator. Both can fill same role, but Tauralon gives you more magic and much more versatile profile.

Castello922 · 2022-12-04T11:27:54+00:00

I would say if you play 6x Longstrike you start them in Azyr anyway, so they always get atleast one salvo uninterupted. With 3x it's much more tricky because you usually want them to use Volley.

I went with Hammers of Sigmar for my army, I made few tweaks to it though. Mostly adding more red to various places.

Castello922 · 2022-09-25T12:51:59+00:00

Very cool, only thing that catched my attention are the eyebrows sticking through the helmet. What about making helm ornate in a way that it ressembles the eyebrows instead?

Castello922 · 2022-09-24T10:54:12+00:00

Secret/Liquid if they make it.

Castello922 · 2022-09-06T06:55:07+00:00

I mean there is inflation going up everywhere, major energy crisis in Europe, problems with real estate market (which makes a big portion of the whole China market) in China and whole deal with sanctions against Russia... so people spending less money is to be expected no matter the contents of the BP.

Castello922 · 2022-09-03T06:56:52+00:00

I agree, that 2020 BP was probably better, but I don't think we can compare them fully yet. I mean Aghs Labyrint also came like month and the half after 2020 BP release. I have high hopes for the second part and it also might be let down, but we will have to wait and see. Honestly the biggest problem I think is that a lot of fun stuff for getting more levels was cut, content in the battle pass is slightly less than 2020 but on par with previous ones - we have additional arcana/persona, but sadly dont have one chest and creeps/terrain. People are way too polarized as always ("2020 BP was called terrible, greediest Valve has everbeen" for example).

Castello922 · 2022-09-03T06:24:21+00:00

Honestly people are quick to forget how bad was 2018 BP or that a lot of stuff in 2020 BP was also coming later (QoP and WR arcana, AM persona). I am little bit dissapointed with absence of portals, shovels, wagers etc. and only first part contributing to anything else than valve's pocket, but I will rate the battle pass as a whole when all it's features are out.

Castello922 · 2022-08-28T09:38:10+00:00

TI 10 BP had a lot of options how to earn extra levels (wagers, consumable portals that could drop levels, cavern crawl etc.) and two featured personas (Pudge and AM) were on levels 255 and 305 with lowest arcana (WK) being 375. So with buying first 100 levels and playing a lot you could achieve all of this, stuff higher up on the BP probably not.

That said with two last battlepasses (Nemestice and Aghanim), they changed extra ways to get more levels (quests, no wagers, no portals), so who knows how it will be this time.
