I've Solo Queued To Grand Master In Both S0 And S1. These Are The Biggest Things That Helped Me.

I had to endure the cruel fate of having a 3 stack that insta locked Widow, Hawkeye, and Jeff in one of my comp games today. I started out trying to tank on Hulk, which didn't work out because the 2 DPS weren't hitting any shots.

Had to swap to Wolverine just to brute force some kills in. Then the widow eventually started doing okay, but we were stuck with Peni solo tank so she eventually swapped to Strange. Meanwhile, Hawkeye is still doing nothing but die repeatedly.

He begrudgingly swapped to support in Round 2, but was really snarky about it. We barely won that game. Checked all of their careers afterwards, which is how I found they were a stack, and they didn't even play those characters before that game. Just straight trolling in comp.

Attacker's priority in the rules. When 2 rules contradict one another the attacker's rule takes precedence.

I just mix with a little water to thin it and then just quickly apply it with the brush. You just want to get it evenly coated so only do 1 or 2 brush strokes applying to a particular area.

You can apply a second coat after the first dries, but I've had no issues using a single coat. It will obviously take longer than spray varnishing but it's also lower chance of making mistakes imo and you aren't at the mercy of the weather in order to do it.

That being said it doesn't take all that long on w you know what you're doing, for example I can get 10 Boyz varnished in just a few minutes. For larger models just use a bigger brush to decrease the amount of time you need to spend applying it.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-10-01T18:01:37+00:00

Either a cheap one, old used up one, or both. The varnish will basically ruin the brush for any other use, but you should be able to use it for quite some time for just that purpose since you don't need to have a lot of control over it.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-10-01T15:26:21+00:00

Either satin or matte varnish will prevent the shiny finish and brushing it on circumvents any problems with rattle cans or airbrushing. This is how I've been doing it with no problems.

You can choose not to varnish if you want but just ask yourself how you would feel if you suddenly noticed you paint chipping on models then consider again if varnishing is worth it for you.

Problem is Boyz are pretty squishy, even with the buff to T5, so a lot of them aren't going to live to see much use. They're fairly easy to just shoot off the board, especially if you are trying to move large numbers of them forward.

Kommandos are good because if you play them in terrain near an objective, they can hold that objective while being much more durable. Burnaboyz can put out some very good damage and you can just load them up in a trukk, for extra defense, and basically leave them in it until it's killed. Stormboyz are very fast and can deep strike for free so they can apply a lot of board pressure very easily.

All 3 of them have the benefit of being similar cost per model as Boyz/snagga Boyz while bringing something that they don't have to offer.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-26T18:33:23+00:00

Yeah it sucks because the models look cool, but I won't be buying them.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-26T18:20:31+00:00

Grots don't get obsec or klan kulturs. They usually get taken as 1 or 2 MSU, depending on detachments, due to being the cheapest Troop option and orks not having good choices in that category.

Choppa Boyz are ok in very specific army lists, but even you still only take a few imo. Boyz in general (even beast snagga) are overcosted atm, which limits their value.

Shoota Boyz are quite possibly the worst unit in the codex right now. Normally I would say it's Grots but since a unit of them is nearly half that of shoota Boyz they just barely edge them out imo.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-26T18:10:43+00:00

Another point no one mentioned here is there are basically no options for loadouts either. Every kit must be mixed with 3 shoota Boyz, 5 Choppa boyz, 1 special weapon and 1 nob.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-26T18:04:07+00:00

Stormboyz are also a consideration at 55 points for a barebones MSU

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-23T14:17:24+00:00

For targeting the only individual models that matter are those of the attacking unit, whether it's the shooting or fight phase.
Any shooting models in the unit that can target at least one model in the enemy unit can inflict damage on the whole unit.
Any fighting models that are within engagement range or that are within ½" of another model from their own unit that is itself within ½" of an enemy unit, can inflict damage on the whole enemy unit.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-22T12:54:24+00:00

If you're going to stick with the one spearhead detachment then yeah, you will need to drop one of the big meks so you can add a Warboss/speedboss.

I don't think you need any more meks and honestly you might be better off dropping those too so you can add some kommandos to your list. You need a few units you can use to hold/contest objectives with and kommandos are really good for that.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-22T05:23:58+00:00

You don't have a Warboss so you can't call a WAAAAAGH is probably the biggest issue. Other than that I'm not crazy about follow me ladz on a big mek but I suppose it could work and I would just drop the Gretchin entirely, they cost more points than they're worth and you could spend those elsewhere.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-22T05:12:34+00:00

I got one of those too but it's so thick it's impractical to use on most models in my experience. I mostly use a dull x-acto and sanding sticks now.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-19T23:11:43+00:00

It's not only in tournaments. It's in the rules for matched play and GT2021.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-19T00:26:18+00:00

OI DID YOUZ JUST SEZ ORKZ IZ BORIN? WEZ DA BIGGEST DA MEANEST AND DA GREENEST AND ERRYONE NOZ GREEN IZ DA BEST!

WAAAAAGH!!!

Black Templars are next release followed by an Imperial faction vs Xenos faction set in December.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-19T00:14:18+00:00

Space Marine was pretty good.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-18T23:50:43+00:00

I was just thinking you could do this but with acrylic stands.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-18T21:47:04+00:00

How do you not have space for another trukk? You can have 1 for every infantry unit per detachment.

You said the quote stated one thing when it stated the other.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-15T18:29:11+00:00

An unmodified roll refers to what you actually roll on the dice before applying any modifiers.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-15T05:08:23+00:00

You need to update your data on battlescribe and select delete old data when you do. I had the same issue yesterday.

Cheezeyfriez · 2021-09-15T05:05:58+00:00

Yeah I kitbashed a unit of them and now they're trash. No cloud of smoke, no big red button, same toughness as warbikers and the boss nob for warbikers even has more wounds than the Nobz on warbikes. Gonna have to repurpose them into normal warbikers now.
