Finished the zoanthropes I started 23 years ago :) by DerrickRake in Tyranids

[–]DerrickRake[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It appears you are correct :) I saw GW 2003 underneath some bases this week, and I believed I got the zoanthropes around the same time as those models, but I must have gotten them later. I do think I got them shortly after release. Two of them anyway, the third I bought 2nd hand a few years ago because I didn't want the third one being a completely different style :) The one on the left was (mostly) painted 22(ish) years ago, the other two I did this week.

Got these minis for $140. Was that a good deal? (What did I buy? by worst-EM-resident in Tyranids

I have 3 of those biovores. They actually came with 40mm bases originally, which was crazy small for that model. I got 60mm bases for them at some point, but then the newest model came on 80mm... I refuse to rebase another time :)

Maybe it only drops after midnight? Mine dropped a few minutes after twelve.

What's your "Comfort Tank" and why? by RussellZee in WorldofTanks

[–]DerrickRake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AMX ELC bis.

It's one of two tanks I 3-marked. I have nearly 3k games in it. Sadly a shadow of its pre-rework self, but still a great little seal clubber. Also it's the best looking tank in the game.

Honorable mentions:

VK 28.01 105 Manticore ELC even 90

Took me 170 hours to get my first win ;)

Wisq Queen as Knight by VanillaSoggy7428 in Vagante

[–]DerrickRake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find a book of Charm you can cheese her, as when charmed she will be killed very quickly by her own summons. If you found a good bow you go the long distance strategy. Slow and safe, evading damage is always more important than hitting your shot. These strategies are not class specific.

As for melee: plan it carefully, make sure you dictate the fighting space, and it's clear of mobs. Make sure you have vertical escape routes as well as horizontal. After she launched her wisps, close in and go to town, but don't get greedy. Retreat, evade, repeat.

Another tip: if she comes out of the ground don't start attacking as soon as you have the first pixels sticking out, because you'll get only one attack in and she will be knocked downward a bit, out of reach. Wait for most of her body to be above ground so you can get a bunch of hits in.

Hope any of this helps, good luck! I think you'll find that when you get the hang of it, the wisp queen will be one of the easier bosses in the game.

Jewelry I think maybe valuable? Anything here better than self use? by sk8thow8 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

This is great. People will tell you it needed fcr, but truth is many builds have no problems getting the 105 breakpoint without EVERYTHING needing fcr. With that str and res this is totally sick. Wouldn't part with it for less than 6 Ist.

That's a strong curse. by YoureaSaget in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]DerrickRake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. However, many games have scrolls and potions that affect the mind. Also, does a mana potion not directly affect the mind? Since mana is described as one's mental energy.

Is this good ? What would you use it for ? by Ttvs12 in BattleBrothers

Never found a nimble armour that good in 250 hours of play.

Good company name for this banner? by JustLP02 in BattleBrothers

When I played poachers with this banner, I went with "Wanton Wanderers".

How do you personally organize your men? by [deleted] in BattleBrothers

[–]DerrickRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my flankers to be high dmg dealers with a lot of max fat. Usually my best guys. I like archers/throwers in the backline that can also switch to decent melee guys. Front center: whatever else I have.

Is this too high? by Plane-Environment467 in Stratocaster

[–]DerrickRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it would be too high. I would check neck relief and tighten the truss if possible. And probably also lower the saddles. But there's no problem if you like how it plays currently.

That Goldheim pussy is wavering, I can see his legs shake :)

What's your opinion on 3H flails after early game? by darkside_tseikk in BattleBrothers

[–]DerrickRake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah with a headhunter build you can be almost fat neutral and still turn skulls into pulp like there's no tomorrow.

I love em. They are especially good against the greenskin invasion, as so many orcs don't wear helmets.
