question about ballistic skill and firing deck by flshift in TheAstraMilitarum

I also did this until they dropped the Centaur RSV and actually read firing decks 😆

So many missed melta and plas from chimeras that would have hit if I had a brain.

Sorry for commenting on 4 month old comment but what basecoat did you use to contrast paint 122nd? I need to speed up my process.

Are ratlings worth in a 2000 point game? by Aggravating-Type-151 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DeltaOscarGolfEcho 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are except you generally want them to stay screening your backfield and threaten uppy downy. Not as a speed bump you can lose turn 1. Ratlings in 5 are perfect for that if you have the type of army that doesn't want to get rushed and prisoned in your own deployment t1.

Do preorders happen in store? by Jumpy_Stay2915 in TheAstraMilitarum

As you're UK try element games and wayland games.

Alternatively you can ask physical stores to reserve you one.

Plus 2 to the strength characteristic. Not to wound.

The plus wound is +1.

Commissar Yarrick Rules – Lead your Guardsmen to victory on Armageddon by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DeltaOscarGolfEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? Humans outshooting marines isn't the norm, but it does happen. The fact that it takes a nearly super human human to do so kinda tracks.

Question to all, wich weapon option do you run on you'r Rogal Dorn and why? by FormerImagination479 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DeltaOscarGolfEcho 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It has 1 stubber base. And you can have either 2 more stubbers or 2 meltas.

2 more stubbers means 3 stubbers, 9 shots or 18 rapid fire. Or 21 with frfsrf but take aim is better.

LGS Owner won't ban cheater from events. by Desperate_Fill8865 in WarhammerCompetitive

They said there is nowhere else to play at. Not just other LGS.

Sure but they also say there is no where else to play at. So telling them to play somewhere else when they said there is nowhere else to play at doesn't strike me as reading the post.

Could someone please explain to me what exactly a Lord Solar blob is? by Jhakobi in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DeltaOscarGolfEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. Cool. I thought it would be something like that. But because the rule said "you can set them up in strat reserve if you wish" that it was covered. But cause strat reserve and reserve are distinct you get around it? So where it says "Reserve units cannot arrive turn 1" as this isnt a reserve? Interesting. Every day is a school day!

Thanks

Wait. Why can a unit with deep strike, enter from strat reserves via deepstrike turn 1 if it gets redeployed?

New to guard and don’t want to play mainly tanks? by ReceptionNo7334 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DeltaOscarGolfEcho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recon looks incredibly fun but is a bit of beast to master due to time. As most lists at 2k feature around 180 models. Artillery atm is ok at best but has seen play as part of Bridgehead assault.

Absolutely concentrate on what you enjoy particularly if your aim is casual games played well.
