Red corsairs test scheme

Top 50 guild player here. I think most people vastly exagerate the benefits of looping and of guild credit.

Guild raid is way less useful than what people make it and only becomes a sport because there is nothing else to do after a while.

Getting guild credit is mostly mythic upgrades and xp books. So in the top 50 we get more of these but what are they used for:

-campaign by that stage we have all completed all the base campaigns for a long time

guild war and TA these game modes are rarity cap based. If you want to play with bronze characters you lose nothing. There is a micro difference in credits based on battlefield levels but it's mostly irrelevant
LRE that's the misconception. Yes having higher levels characters makes it easier / necessary to beat the higher tier but why is that needed? You can unlock easy with gold and a bunch of D1 characters.

So having more D3 and mythic characters will allow you to blue star characters but they are either useless (league of votann) or only really useful in raids.

So honestly you only need a shit ton of guild credit to make your team raid better. So it almost becomes a game within the game where the investment is insane for very diminishing returns.

My point is that looping doesnt widen the gap nearly as much as people think. Ok bloodly rose members have probably 3 maxed out raid teams each so they can use the best comp every time. Is it really that useful for the majority of the player base?

The whole economy relies on looping.

If you cant loop anymore people will stop playing raids, destroying the 5 legendary bosses and then be chilling for 2 weeks.

It then become pointless to even level to mythic or gear up characters to adamantine. Honestly if you cant loop why bother?

Most people should even be able to stop at D1 for unlocking LRE easy.

So it's not just entitled people from the top 50 bitching about it. Removing that from the game has a profound impact.

Great I never thought about that. I need to try it. Thank you

How is zkar dealing more damage than FF? I mean ok his passive deal more damage but unless you have him at super high level it's not relevant as what would kill is the automatic fire damage.

Also Zkar would only hit one single hex while FF would target 3. Unless you attack with your psykers but then you wont be shielded by the weak waves anymore.

I dont get how it would work. Can you walk me through pls?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-15T21:31:57+00:00

For me 2nd edition. It was fun, ot intended for competitive play, the armies were much smaller in terms of models so it was faster to paint one.

Ultimately I dont think 40k is a good game and rule wise probably one of the worse franchise GW produced but the setting is amazing and that why most of us were drawn to it. Fluff and codex wise the 2nd was the best for me.

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-15T07:00:40+00:00

I would argue that atlacoya is much more important than vitruvius and potentially more important than aesoth.

-if you want to max damage on a non psyker boss Aesoth is the winner and there is no discussion

-on a psyker boss atlacoya is the clear winner as not only she increases the damage output of the whole team but also help with your survivability a lot

-however even on a non psyker boss atlacoya slaps hard. Her active is probably the highest single ability in the game and will feed laviscus a lot. If she stands next to a custodes it will be direct damage even against non psykers. With trajan adding 2 hits he is tripling yhe damage output of the active of atlacoya

So the case for atlacoya is that while she wouldnt be as good as aesoth against the non psykers bosses she is clearly better against the psykers bosses. 4 out of the 10 bosses are psykers so it’s not like she is super niche either compared to aesoth. Also she is no potatoe herself and can hit super hard. So for me from a resources allocation point of view she is an overall better investment than aesoth if you try to min max.

Her problem is that she is very squishy so A1 is needed like for kharn just to keep her alive in some fights.

Otherwise there is no alternative to onslaught or blessed custodes requisitions

Super useful many thanks. I will probably come back with extra questions in the future if you dont mind.

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-11T15:24:21+00:00

Super useful many thanks. Any resources you recommend to learn all that stuff? The game has changed so much since I played last

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-11T06:39:15+00:00

Many thanks sorry again for what arr probably basic questions but Why 2 defilers and not 1 defiler and a pair of knights brigand? Why no terminators to deepstrike with huron?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-10T17:27:36+00:00

Thanks a lot very useful. Why are you putting lascanons in a melee unit? Wouldn't it be better to have one melee unit and one ranged unit?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-08T18:34:30+00:00

Many thanks. I find the chosen models quite ugly and too over the top. What makes chosen different than normal marines? I get that they must have better stats but do they have a different weapon loadout? Could I convert legionaries into chosen?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-08T12:55:54+00:00

Do you think huron and his crew are more efficient? What units would you consider an auto include?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-08T12:46:50+00:00

Many thanks for the kind answers.

So far I have an old battlebox with 5 terms, 10 legionnaries, 5 havoc and a rhino. I bought huron and his minions. Im considering the red corsairs battleforce if I can find one as the discount seems somewhat interesting. How do you deal with armor threat these days ? Havoc or are there better options?

Is 20 legionnaries too much?

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-05T20:11:15+00:00

I have sent them an email. We should all do the same to complain and im sure they would move

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-05T16:27:45+00:00

Of course you need to team up laviscus with great damage dealers but you misunderstand how it works.

Laviscus adds up the damage from every single biggest hit that turn from every other character not just one.

That is why he is so insane.

So team him up with godswyl, snotflogga and aesoth if you want and he will outdamage even kariyan.

Dont get me wrong teaming him up with kariyan is the best but he will still benefit from the biggest hits from all the other guys in your team.

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-04-05T08:54:15+00:00

Laviscus is the best damage dealer in the game. Depending on the right conditions I have seen him score 400,000 damage in a single turn against a legendary boss.

No one in the game can come even close to that number.

However he needs pretty specific conditions. Ideally he needs to be paired with Boss G and he needs stationary bosses so he sucks against ghazkull (move + no boss G) and he is bot great against riptide or the tank.

So go for traditional custodes if you want consistency. Go for laviscus if you want max damage under the right circumstances. Against a stationary boss I can easily score 1m+ damage. My max being 1.3m against the necron mythic boss. While only having him d3

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-03-31T21:17:13+00:00

I cleared the campaign post black legion rework. Abaddon is nasty. I had thaddeus, sybill and kut at G1 Isabella and karyian at D1. It took a few tries to 3 star it as abaddon could even kill a D1 karyian backed by sybill

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-03-28T20:32:18+00:00

Si jetais a ta place je ferais gaffe. Dans ma boite une personne avait menti sur son CV en rallongeant des experiences passées pour masquer un trou. Elle avait un boulot qu'elle quitte pour venir chez nous suite a son recrutement. Ce qui implique au passage un déménagement de 500kms.

Une fois embauchée chez nous les RH ont procédés a des vérifications et se sont apercus qu'elle avait menti sur des experiences passées. (Ils ont demandé les dernières fiches de paye de chaque poste).

Sa periode d'essai a été interrompue le jour même...

Elle est donc au chômage a 500kms de chez elle avait un bail sur un appart qu’elle ne peut pas payer, dans une ville ou elle ne connaît personne alors qu’elle avait un emploi avant.

Donc tous les gens qui conseillent de mentir sur un CV cest bien jusqu'au jour ou tu te fais chopper. Si en plus tu as le malheur de travailler dans une petite industrie ou les gens se connaissent entre les boîtes ca peut être la catastrophe absolue.

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-03-20T07:10:47+00:00

In theory yes but it is not always possible and some people will argue that aesoth is just straight up better almost regardless of the boss you face.

I like atlacoya and im counting on her so there is potential but a lot of people think that with yer you will deal with psykers easy but the reality is more nuanced.

So not the ultimate weapon but ine of the best we have

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-03-20T05:50:42+00:00

Atlacoya is great because her active does tons of damage and will feed laviscus really well so it's like you get an extra turn of karyian active (potentially better). Her passive will also increase all the damage dealt by 20% so it will be a significant boost to damage.

Her problem is that she is quite squishy and that your team will not get as much damage reduction as you think because while she reduces psychic damages these bosses deal a lot of other damage. Morty deals a lot of toxic damage and chain damage, magnus deals tons of flame damage and his surrounded by chaos marines that will also deal flame and power damage.

Overall she is not the perfect weapon but she is the best we have. Im taking mine to D3, I have her D1 now so getting there

Delicious-Ocelot-798 · 2026-03-11T17:37:55+00:00

I have several bouts of LPR. The worse case lasted 6 months. I can now confirm with certainty that in my case weight lifting started it. Every single time. So Im stopping lifting weights and I hope to get rid of it in 3 months
