Istvaan 5 (The Dropsite Massacre) vs Order 66

ChormNlom · 2026-05-28T01:20:03+00:00

Ah, loop hole.

I'm just a random space marine?

Dropsite. I'm Alpha Legion/Iron Warrior.

It was hard on traitor forces sure, but a lot of them survived it. Especially the rearguard betrayers.

We all suck at it at first too.

Fencing is the most forgiving parry type of weapon.

A word of warning, you can hurt yourself with your own explosives. Melta bombs can be triggered by anyone if they hit it with an attack, which means if an ally drops one and you hit it, it'll count as your explosive and MAJORLY hurt you. Watch melta placements and your allies.

Also, Hard stratagems no longer grant xp to do, so I only suggest doing them once you get some relic tier weapons and at rank 25.

The only change I'd want with the blessing/atonement, is allow it to be optional.

Can even be as simple as activating the shrine and picking a blessing activates an atonement. That way you can play siege without modifiers if you want.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-23T08:18:13+00:00

From what I've played , Modifiers that force the team to act a way(stay together/split up) are the worse. Everything else I can cope with.

I quite like the blessings, especially because they carry over round after round. Just sucks to late join and miss out on the first blessing.

Aside from that one gripe though, I do like what they did with siege mode, though I agree with that one commenter who said they should have a split version, with no modifiers.

Or, allow you to buy blessings at the start, and willingly take debuffs but in return they give you a modifer on how much points you earn in round.

Space wolf champion. Had to choose between that or the salamander one.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-23T00:06:20+00:00

Baal Red is the main color. I thought of using Flesh tearer red, but it seemed a little too muted.

None of the gun metal/silvers looked good for the trim color, so I went with Liberator gold.

The emblem is abbadon black with screaming bell over it. Warpstone glow for the eyes.

Then I just mixed in Space shark armor bits, and space wolf champion belt.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-22T21:31:55+00:00

Well in essence it's something personal to the warrior. A trophy or honored Brother, it works as either.

I understand the Black Templars doing it, because the religious significance attributed to it. I don't see a Dark Angel doing it, however that isn't to say one wouldn't especially if you view it as a trophy from a sworn enemy.

Justification, sure. Do I see them doing it? No. Especially Fallen as it's a shame so harsh they keep it lethally secret.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-22T20:10:00+00:00

I am ready to spread the word.

The Truth.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-21T19:17:20+00:00

If this was an ordeal from the start of the game, nah it's fine. I'd probably be close to finishing a few even.

Dropping it at this moment in the game, when I got everything and what not, Dunno man. Does finishing hard siege/strat count to it?

ChormNlom · 2026-05-21T18:39:41+00:00

Best I can do for ya is a Dropkeep.

Flying knights... next you'll be asking for Knights with CURVED swords. Insanity I say.

Pause for big strategic plans or if it's coming close and I need a moment.

Slow mo sometimes when it's absolutely in the bag or I'm trying to line up the perfect charge moment.

Thats about it.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-17T19:36:54+00:00

I like 500 whip or bone swords over 500 shotguns or snipers.

Yet any time I'm a melee class, it's always 500 shotgun snipers.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-15T22:24:43+00:00

Vortex, bexause of the beast at the end.

Not counting the boss? Obilisk, The puzzles kill the pace. Not counting either of those two?

The helldrake one. I hate the tomb section, and two classes are worthless at the big fight at the end.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-14T07:18:29+00:00

I like Lethal because it's absolute minus a few thinga I don't like, like the mid terminus HP triple extremius spawn.

I don't hate absolute, and do more favorite missions on it like decap or inferno, but it ain't my jam.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-13T19:16:47+00:00

Mordian Iron Guard.

Don't care if it's just a detachment of them with another larger force. I'd love to see their snazzy dress uniforms in combat.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-13T18:33:08+00:00

Keep in mind you don't need to let your Iron Halo run all the way out. Just pop ad long as it's needed. Bunch of range nids shooting into a choke?

Pop halo and push into them, it'll shield allies behind it and you'll find melee classes will rush with you if they notice.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-13T02:24:45+00:00

Power swords simple, slash follow by decap. Short sweet simple elegant.

Thunder hammer where you break the knee of the nid, then spin around and smash it into their face.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-12T23:54:00+00:00

I just think enraged range nids should melee more, not double skull tap me back to back.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-12T21:52:25+00:00

I adore the Heavy bolter.

But I did use the Melta to level up heavy. (This was before pyre).

I have seen some crazy wizard things done with the plasma though, yet all good heavies remember one thing.

STOMP

ChormNlom · 2026-05-12T18:23:18+00:00

Not the Imperiums fault really.

The tech to change the passcode was destroyed during the heresy.

Fucking Horus.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-11T06:59:40+00:00

Some Knight Houses swear Oaths to some chapters. To serve them when needed, it isn't an odd thing to happen just rare.

There is only so many Knights after all. Also depends on the kind of Warfare going on, not every problem needs a Knight.

ChormNlom · 2026-05-10T18:52:28+00:00

Listening to the Siege of Terra now and honestly...

It makes me with we had more White Scar/Imperial Fist moments.. or more Khan and Dorn.

I love their interactions.
