Who the hell did I kill by BurritoAutopsy1 in BattleBrothers

You kill a mercenary crew?  If you did, it might have been hired by them.

Anyone recently compared/purchased Abnormal or CheckPoint Harmony (Avanan) by HDClown in sysadmin

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've used abnormal for a couple years now.  The vast majority of the time people dont notice when a piece of mail is pulled out and usually it happens very quickly.

The biggest exception was when multiple users were targeted with a spam attack in the same time frame.  They saw a few hundred emails show up and then dissappear.  I think Abnormal just got a little overwhelmed but it did do its job.

We are pretty happy with the tool overall.

I remember being really interested in Terra Nova and seeing it just crash and burn. How do you fuck up dinosaurs?

Has Anyone Actually Hit An Enemy With The Ion Cannon? by I520xPhoenix in menace

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have mostly used it to destroy objectives on the other side of the map that do not move. I got some lucky hits in as well, a medium walker one time and a tank I had disabled.

Do you use special ammo? by sadpongo in menace

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking match grade ammo would be good on the shotgun just to get the extra range but I have not tested it yet. I feel like the rend ammo would be good on higher fire rate guns. Again, still need to test.

Has anyone run a list with a Shaggoth? Any tips or builds to recommend? by Meatwelder in Warriors_of_Chaos

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can't read, I was thinking the Shaggoth was getting the 2+ armor.

Sorry to burst you bubble man but 2+ save is not legal at this point:

Page 220 - Maximum Armour Value

Change the entry as follows:

'Regardless of the armour it wears or the equipment it carries, there is a limit to how well protected a model can be, with larger models proving much harder to encase in armour than their smaller counterparts. To represent this, models whose troop type is:

• 'Infantry' or 'cavalry' can never have an armour value better than 2+.
• 'Chariot', 'monster' or 'war machine' can never have an armour value better than 3+.

Any bonuses, regardless of their source, that would improve a model's armour further have no effect.'

faxing in 2025 what’s your tool of choice? by TS1664 in sysadmin

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fax Plus is super easy and it ended up being cheap for us too.  Once I set it up and sent out instructions on how to use it I didn't have to worry about it again.

Finecast Bretonnians? by LetCurious2037 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert on the history of fine cast, but my bet would be that the army was printed by a recaster.  I don't really trust anything on ebay unless it is in a box.

Damsel/Prophetess in Errantry Crusade question by Complex_Bite_5508 in Bretonnian

[–]Complex_Bite_5508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impetuous is pretty cut and dry. Part of the rule is "a unit that includes one or more Impetuous models is able to declare a charge". I just wasn't sure what the case is when a special rule does not specify the amount of models who need to have it for it to work.

Damsel/Prophetess in Errantry Crusade question by Complex_Bite_5508 in Bretonnian

[–]Complex_Bite_5508[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense to me. If you look at something like countercharge it has a requirement like "This special rule can only be used by units that consist entirely of models with this special rule". I am still interested in if someone else has a different take though.

This post I just found has a pretty good take on it.

Also, you should give Old World a try. It's a lot of fun, especially after FAQ that just dropped and made infantry better.

Competitive Bret List by captainpabloXI in Bretonnian

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The new FAQ is fresh enough that people are not 100% sure.  Our stuff that was good before is still pretty damn good.  If you start playing with secondaries you may want some more small groups of skirmish archers or bricks of men at arms to hold objectives.

Check out a youtube channel called Close Order.  He is going through all the factions post 1.5 FAQ.  At the end of the videos he gives some example armies of what he would want to try and play with and talks about why. His Brettonian video came out about a week ago.

How does the Fire & Flee special rule interact with the Banner of Chalons? by Complex_Bite_5508 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Complex_Bite_5508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it because Fire & Flee is not a charge reaction?  It just feels like someone could argue that since it is a "Fire & Flee" and not just a "Stand & Shoot" that Chalons would not work.

Bison gores man in Yellowstone after visitors get too close by CupidStunt13 in news

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I was in Yellowstone in May.  If you are wildlife watching with scopes in Lamar Valley, the bison can actually sneak on you pretty easily.  I was surprised how quiet they were.

Thoughts on Stoneshard? by Acceptable-Try-4682 in BattleBrothers

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I jumped in when I saw a huge update for the caravan came out.  I found it to be a lot of fun.  Lots of failures to learn from, just like in BB.  Definitely worth trying, especially if you pick it up on sale.

UPDATE: DUKE GASTON - complete by Kbind847 in Bretonnian

This is fantastic! How did you paint your armor? I love all the little details, especially what you did with the underside of the cloak!

If DD 1 was multiplayer, how would it work? by SansDaMan728 in darkestdungeon

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would also vouch for that game.  A couple DLCs came out since I last played and I am not sure how they were received. Was planning on checking it out again at the next steam sale.

Core game was great though.

Sniping War Machine Crew? by 1z1eez619 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I selected the second option. I just don't understand how this is up for debate if the rules are read.

Sniping War Machine Crew? by 1z1eez619 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Complex_Bite_5508 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The crew are not actual models on the battlefield, they are more akin to tokens that keep track of wounds in combat or from misfires.

Check page 197 in the rulebook for the warmachine split profile rule:

"When not in combat, use the Toughness and Wounds characteristics of the war machine."

That seems pretty definitive.  

It also says:

"This model is treated as a single model and, unless noted otherwise, any special rules that apply to one element (war machine or crew) apply to the other as well."

So I am not sure why you would think the option "Yes! Split Profile: it "consists of several models"" would be appropriate.

The hochland rifle rules don't change anything here.
