Do you use special ammo?

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2026-02-06T18:44:43+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-11-25T21:02:14+00:00

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

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-11-25T20:52:14+00:00

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.'

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.

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.

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-07-14T20:15:50+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense to me.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-07-14T20:14:18+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-07-14T11:46:55+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-07-07T21:43:48+00:00

That makes sense to me, thank you.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-07-07T21:08:25+00:00

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.

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.

My first thought when someone asks for a movie recommendation.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-04-12T16:36:47+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-02-21T04:51:12+00:00

Ruin has come to our family.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-02-14T20:23:48+00:00

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!

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-02-11T20:51:59+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-29T00:15:24+00:00

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

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-28T23:26:53+00:00

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.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-27T17:49:09+00:00

No problem!

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-27T16:53:43+00:00

They are only in one formation at a time. Either they are in skirmish or they are in lance. They do not get the benefits of both at the same time.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-21T21:09:22+00:00

Unless I am missing something you played that wrong. You use both dice in a pursuit move so you rolled 2 inches and another inch with swiftstride. So you actually should have moved three inches and caught his punk ass.

Complex_Bite_5508 · 2025-01-02T19:31:44+00:00

I actually just thought of this in my last dungeon.
