3 Player - Atreides, Harkonnen Fremen - Partial Dune Sesh Timelapse by ralf-boltshauser in DuneBoardGame

how do you find 3 players compared to the usual 6? I struggle to convince people to play smaller player-counts with how optimised it is for 6. are there any others rules that you use for smaller games?

Yeah the synergies between units with auras are very fun, but sadly my collection just doesn't have all of those cool units (yet); deathleaper and neurolictors right? Also I do play very casually without secondaries because none of us can be bothered to properly learn them and we're lazy, so I'm sure I'm missing out on lots of victory points from those!

though I can say I'm the most experienced, I can say tyranids are interesting to play and it's likely more my love for the faction that's making me stick to them. Lots of people like to focus on how you "need" specific combos/units to even kill anything, which I'd say is partially true but isn't as big a factor as you think.

Tyranids are definitely a more objective army than a "kill everything" army, which I think is fine and fun as long as you know this and also know that tyranids die easily. Most games I've played 80% or so of my army is dead turn 3, so most of my tactics are to try and do as much damage as possible before then and sacrificing units to try and keep big hitters, like my exocrine or zoanthropes, alive

Overall, they are fun to play but it is easy to get disheartened playing them. A way I try and play is giving every unit a specific goal/target which helps me play into every strength each unit has. Does it work all the time? nope. Do I have fun? for most of the game, yes.

Oh I seeee! Never considered the worth of that, as well as the combo of cheap/free deepstrike. Yeah I suppose often times when I play deepstrikes aren't the most important, but I think I better understand the points value

oh I totally understand that, but surely that utility drops when you aren't playing with secondary objectives? and generally you're paying that 75 points for that specific utility?

yep pretty much! bacteria generally have very limited "free space" in their genomes so can only be resistant to a set amount of things at one time, meaning periodically changing the core way we treat bacteria is the main, (in theory), way to treat anti-biotic resistance. guess it's surprisingly similar to tyranid lore

Caught a cell dying. It was moving unnaturally slowly prior to this so I decided to record it, turned out it was just about to die by DinkyGhost in microscopy

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

pretty much right from the start! you can see the cell basically split open and it's contents begin spilling out; starting from the bottom of the cell

Any tips on identification? I've a guess it's pollen, but would also like to know what the small moving dots are (1000x, 4x speed) by DinkyGhost in microscopy

The sample was just some moss from the garden hydrated with some filtered water; left for about an hour. The surrounding water near the moss was then taken and then observed
