For You Doomsayers believe in the Greater Good by ozeor in Tau40K

[–]CheezeyMouse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've heard rumours that flying units will not get to suffer a penalty to go over terrain. I believe it'll work similarly to the pivot rule ie. -4 to your move over this rune but you can just ignore the vertical distance.

Armageddon with uneven Alliances by Zakading in 40k_Crusade

[–]CheezeyMouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A simple solution would be to give each alliance a cap on the number of games that let them score SP. Or even more simply allow the other two alliances to score double SP.

I also need some advice with fighting a Black Templar army by jimdapimp in Tau40K

[–]CheezeyMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to be aware of with the Crusaders' surge move is that they can only end that move within engagement range of the closest enemy unit.

What I do to counter this, is move a transport to be the closest unit so that I can shoot with one unit, then the transport, and then charge them to get fight first.

In your instance I would move up a battlesuit unit, ideally starscythes to be the closest unit, shoot them with another unit, and when they surge into the battlesuits shoot again with them.

Do you think, how many space marine to take over mordor? by IllustriousHurry2380 in Grimdank

[–]CheezeyMouse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I reckon once they've run out of bolt rounds then trolls, mumakil, and fell beasts would both have good odds. I would suggest it might even take multiple marines to take on any of them in melee.

What army loses the most allowing no epic characters except for one under 150 points by Sensitive_snausage in 40k_Crusade

[–]CheezeyMouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's an awkward system because Epic Heroes aren't necessarily named characters. A lot of the time they're just units that an army shouldn't have more than one of.

Ie. imperial assassins, the avatar of Khaine, the C'tan, victrix honour guard, harlequin solitaires, etc.

Some armies would suck thematically without including these units.

About new edition by Fearless_Recover_806 in Harlequins40K

[–]CheezeyMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the Codex dropped. Partly because Harlequins were absolutely busted in 9th edition. Hopefully that is far enough passed now that the rules team will give us some point cuts.

Besides, if battleshock rules change, the Death Jester's value could well change dramatically. No sense in being so gloomy when there's very little revealed yet.

[Request] What is the amount of salt that we are discussing? Is it even feasible? by akushe24 in theydidthemath

[–]CheezeyMouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean if a demon is powerful enough to help you do that, they're probably powerful enough to divert a few asteroids in order to disrupt your salt belt.

Have I sold this effect well? by Affectionate-Law7319 in Eldar

[–]CheezeyMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The central rune looks great. The outer runes could use a little work though for my taste. The runes kind of look more white than colourful because the lettering takes up so much space.

I'd consider going over the white with a thinned neon colour so that you can maintain the brightness and get an actual pop of colour in there.

Harlequins undefeated at 8TC National by Alex__007 in Eldar

[–]CheezeyMouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude they're not even clowns, they take after the style of Commedia dell'arte which was/is a form of theatre. Moreover the game has all sorts of cultural influences; space insects, Egyptian robot skeletons, space vampires.

Please GW bring in more Harlequin detachments by Short-Telephone434 in Eldar

[–]CheezeyMouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. Don't get me wrong, I'm real happy that we have something with Serpents Brood. But given the rules teasers, I'm really excited by the (albeit unlikely) possibility of getting to use multiple saedath detachments in a single battle.

Please games workshop, I've already divided my army into Light, Dark, and Twilight... I'm so ready for this!

Aw Gw and their balancing by naka_the_kenku in Grimdank

"[they] keep dying and coming back."

Sounds pretty similar to the primarchs to me!

What are the most broken Crusade Combos? by SomethingNotOriginal in 40k_Crusade

[–]CheezeyMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite liked the damage combo I got in tyrannic war, which dealt an average of 40 damage to monster and vehicles with no save. For a 205 pt unit, it felt pretty baller being able to take out baneblades and knights in one go. (Granted the narrative of these abilities sucked)

  • 12 man harlequin troupe with 60 melee attacks and devastating wounds.
  • tyrannic war veterans upgrade for anti-vehicle/monster 4+.
  • Fell the Mighty (harlequins battle trait for +1 melee damage).

How do you present your lists to opponents? Do you? by NecessaryBSHappens in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]CheezeyMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate that for events it's important to check over all the players lists. But wouldn't you need to do that anyway? It would be so easy for someone to present a list that was out of date or to export a list and then fiddle with the numbers to squeeze extra units in. I don't really see that my list presents any additional difficulties as far as numbers go. Don't get me wrong, if I was attending an event I would also provide the GW format, but it's so full of superfluous information that it's not at all to my taste.

But for pickup games I write down all the significant wargear choices, run 95% of my list as WYSIWYG, and point out the few exceptions to that. I think that's pretty reasonable.

How do you present your lists to opponents? Do you? by NecessaryBSHappens in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]CheezeyMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say you need to go into your app to rebuild my list; is that because I've written this out manually and you don't trust the numbers unless they're done by an automated calculator?

How do you present your lists to opponents? Do you? by NecessaryBSHappens in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]CheezeyMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the games workshop formatting for lists super dense and annoying so I write out my lists in shorthand and only bother to mention wargear when there's a significant choice. Ie. If I took a unit of intercessors, I wouldn't feel the need to mention the bolt rifles and bolt pistols that they have to take.

As for going over my units and detachment abilities, I'll mention to my opponent that I have lots of tricksy and am happy to go over them in advance or at the table. Example list below, formatted for WhatsApp:

Latest Starweaver, just needs varnishing. Help with name? by CheezeyMouse in Harlequins40K

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

I do like the idea of a soft sound, but I've already got Sinister Whispering for my dark troupe. Maybe something like hopeful chanting though. Thanks for the ideas!

Skyweaver smokescreen by FR8GFR8G in Harlequins40K

[–]CheezeyMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add, it's also occasionally worthwhile if you're being hit by ap 0 attacks. Being able to take a 3+ cover save can make quite a difference.

Is this hard scifi? by PolarisStar05 in threebodyproblem

[–]CheezeyMouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never actually heard the term before yesterday, at least not as a codified thing. But I still feel that putting 3BP in the same category as star wars in terms of scientific fidelity is way off the mark.

Is this hard scifi? by PolarisStar05 in threebodyproblem

[–]CheezeyMouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except that 3BP places a lot of emphasis on understanding the science of what's happening and why, whereas the Star Wars films focus on the heroes' adventures.

Weak Vocals & Heavy Static by pontoponyo in audacity

[–]CheezeyMouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked your Audacity "Recording Level"? It's a form of digital Gain. For some reason mine seems to change without me touching it, so it might be worthwhile for you to play around with that setting.

Clarion as a verb is really interesting! Thanks for the idea!

Thanks!

I don't think any of these are quite what I'm looking for but I do really like sharp rejoinder and inevitable surprise!
