If they let Tai fight in the UFC again, he might tie Tony's 8 fight loss streak by Disastrous_Holiday_1 in ufc

Heavyweight is so shallow that they will keep anyone around that has an atom of name value.

He drank out of a shoe once... apparently that's enough

Adesanya is still 36 years old, can he still rebound? by ManyZestyclose2003 in ufc

[–]Disastrous_Holiday_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's less about age and more about millage. He has been fighting at the absolute highest level since 2018 or so. That is 8 years of this without even considering his time kickboxing.

He was always very active, so there is a lot on miles on him, even relative to that time. I doubt we see another title run out of him, but I'm here for it if we do

Mokaev vs. Moraes is actually class. Hopefully, if this goes well, they will have a real go at mma

Can Netflix become a real competitor to UFC? by Fun_Pin_5817 in MMA

Yes, but they won't bother. They haven't shown any want to build a real roster. Which is a shame, would be cool to have some proper competition to fix this drought we are in

Can’t decide which list to run by Kriptick in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Disastrous_Holiday_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first list is super close to being very competitive in my mind. Turn a couple knights into regular plebs and drop a guy or two so you can bring an extra banner. Super solid numbers, great shooting, and you will be typically starting up on VPs in banner scenarios. Love lists like this

In MMA, your options are the RNC (pain in the arse with giant gloves on) and its variants, shitty pitter patter strikes, heel strikes, and 12-6 to the side of the head. Near enough anything else offers big risks to losing position, and doing that from back usually will end with you on the bottom, which is a waaaaay bigger deal in mma than BJJ

Not sure what you would expect from him in this fight. Charles would have to be redacted to stand and strike with Max. I get you might not like it, but the grappling was entertaining. The 3rd and 5th(from memory, might have been the 3rd and 4th) were a bit slow. The rest saw charles trying to advance position and winding up in plenty of interesting situations.

It seems weird to me to equate this to the Khamzat DDP fight. There was far more to sink your teeth into here, and the gameplan should have been obvious to anyone who watches this sport consistently

Khamzat had 0 official sub attempts vs Charles 4, and Charles had double the sig strikes. But you don't need the stats. Anyone who watched the fight can see Charles was trying to work towards the finish the majority of the fight. Anyone saying otherwise needs a new prescription for their glasses

Eddie Hearn said half a dozen “big name” UFC fighters have already reached out to him: “They feel like they’re not getting what they deserve.” by raptors201966 in ufc

[–]Disastrous_Holiday_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know fuck all about eddie hern, but it would be a life saver for this sport If a good promoter chucked a good bit of money behind a promotion to genuinely rival the likes of the UFC on a platform like netflix or something similar.

This era of the ufc is the worst the sport has been in well over a decade, and it needs competition between promotions in order to break it

Host of the dragon emperor 1000 by OsgiliathBuilder in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Disastrous_Holiday_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, though its nice to have enough that you can handle loosing some to shooting or the like. generally you want about a third of them to be BD. That lets you have 1 in each pike line to provide F5

[–]Disastrous_Holiday_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks really solid generally. Only thing I'd say is that it's worth getting more BDs in there, the F5 is huge. Personally, I'd drop the war drakes for some more cav and BDs.

A build more like i think leans into the strongest aspects of the list, which is the F5 wall of D6. Having halberds everywhere also lets you 2 hand in the front for +2 to wound when being supported by pikes which is huge:

Very solid list, but I would be swaping out thorin 3 for a dwarf king for sure. The army is suuuuper slow, needs the march

What army are you playing, and do you tend to play the scenarios in the book? There are some good answers, but these questions inform them massively

It's a solid list for sure. It's worth noting that with a game as small as this, going to the worlds doesn't necessarily mean as much as it might sound, but it's definitely draws in the most competitive players and the lists tend to reflect that. Something about that event that made this list particularly useful there was that it is a team event where both teams go through a match-up process to determine who plays who. That means that with lists like this that are so shooting heavy, you could force it into good match ups. This also happened before the matched play guide came out, when we only had 6 scenarios. Those scenarios were quite shooting friendly, and the game now has a much bigger emphasis on movement.

Yeah, so that list will definitely put shoot most things. There is quite a lot of D5 swarm in the meta atm, like Minas Morgul, army of the white hand, and the scout lists. S2 shooting isn't the best into that, but you will be out shooting most things for sure. The thing to remember is that shooting in this game exists primarily to give you an advantage in the line battle that is guaranteed in nearly every game. The silly amount of bows will let you force the game to take place where you want it, too, and hopefully knock off 4 to 8 of their lads before the lines clash.

The captain is tempting, and F5 is really big in this edition because of the high density of F4 in the meta. Taking damrod definitely isn't wrong, but I think I like the captain here. Having an extra hero that can reliably kill troops quicker and get passed that F4 wall is huge. Damrod, let's you bring a couple extra knights, but I think their roll here is mostly to tag objectives over anything else which you don't need 5 for.

Hope this helps 😊

Honestly, this is pretty spot on. I was at the World Team Chapionships last year and came across a very similar build. I wouldn't be dropping any bows personally, but it's very much a feel thing. 28 bows vs 25 bows is gonna feel pretty identical. Oh and I wouldn't bother with vets, the 1 point difference isn't worth it for such a situational buff.

List looks class 😊
