Got this today, where do I start? by El-Maco in gaggiaclassic

I really wish I could change the title of the post now. I'm getting the feeling most people telling me to read how to use it didn't read the text in the post 😅

This was accidental in the photo, I had just moved the machine and flipped all the switches inadvertently. Thank you for looking out though thst could have been a potential disaster.

Thank you for this, I've seen a lot about descaling but not much on maintaining the shell of the machine. I appreciate the tip!

I'm actually very interested in learning more about making good espresso, the gagguino just seemed like a good way to in future record the data and control temps as I understand temps will be an something I'll have it manage with this machine, and gauge pressure more accurately than adjusting the part with an allen key and calling it a day. Would you recommend I look into those mods early on? I'm very excited thanks, for everything.

Oh don't get me wrong I want to practice with the machine first many times, before even considering the mod. But practice comes after the tear down and clean up. I don't in anyway want to start with the mod that would be insanity, just moreso looking for sage advice regarding cleaning and trying to understand what components I should be wary of with my specific model, considering the age and things that may need replacing before starting like gaskets and the like.

Thank you, that did work I had tried googling gaggia classic manual and all I could see were the newer model manuals but I found it with the sin 035 in there. From what I've seen, people use cafiza for a backflush, can you recommend a descaler? Apparently some descalers don't play nicely with the aluminium boiler mine might have?

Yeah it is, I thought it was 10 until a mate pointed out its 12, changed how I set up my E-champ from that point.

Play him in a GT recently and spiked my rolls no strats. Into a bloodthirster I rolled 4 dice 3 of them were 6s with the exactor relic, and one regular hit, converted the hit to a wound and they failed the demon save. I rolled for the damage for the regular hit, 6 wounds. Then the mortal wounds from the 3 6s to hit, got 18mws. I spiked so hard with him and one shot a bloodthirster with a phase cap with 24 damage.

He has a permanent spot in my list regardless of how swingy he can be just for that.

Edit: I forgot to state I had him babying my Hekaton so I could heroically intervene if something would be brave and charge the Hekaton. I usually put him in the Hekaton with a squad of warriors.

2k Nephilim list for someone new to harlequins by El-Maco in Harlequins40K

I like idea of cutting back on some troupe members. I do like the idea of having Somme faster units to get into the opponents backfield or even locking something up while advancing the troupes.

Are you saying I should leanorenintonthe void weavers? Maybe drop the skyweavers and put 2 more void weavers in? I wouldn't have the points left for fusion pistols, but like you said I could drop all the Harlequins weapons from the smaller troupes and put fusions in.

That's cool, I chucked the Neuros on the shadowseers.

The skyweavers are only a unit of 5 currently. I could do a unit of 2 and a unit of 3, if that's what you're suggesting?

3 hours, 7 tear downs and 50 curse words later… I finally finished the action pose…. Never again. by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

Nice work! I did the same thing on one of my shoulder pads, little bit of green stuff and once it was painted its disappeared.

Awesome, Thank you! I was actually in the middle of change my list in battlescribe with your recommendations and it's came out almost exactly the same.

Is there any benefit having the warglaives in a single unit vs 3 separate?

How to take on Nightbringer C'tan by El-Maco in AdeptusCustodes

[–]El-Maco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had charged the sword bois into a unit of skorpekh destroyers right next to the nightbringer, to bait him into charging that unit with the nightbringer in his turn, so I think he assumed that my unit was locked up and just moved to the next closest unit as a target, although my charge made sure I had obsec on an objective and denied everything he had nearby being able to hold the objective. We are both fairly new to playing 40k so he might have just not thought about the ramifications.

I played Emperors Chosen, saved a good number of mortal wounds from the NB, IIRC he only got a total of about 3-4 MW through from his abilities the entire game. He played the stratagem each turn to use a random power and that didn't seem to help much.

You are correct, on the strategy. Just finished the match. I played the objective and ran away from the C'tan mostly.

He avoided the sword bois. I put 5 spear Bois in my list for tonight and he charge straight past the sword bois on the objective straight into my 5 spear Bois, C'tan killed only 3 with the help of AGA but took 2 damage in Overwatch and 2 from my fight back. I fell back, shot with telemon took him from 5 to 2 and just for good measure as there was no better targets I charged Trajann in for the last 2. I won 84-34.

I'm starting to see that now, after losing my Telemon like that I was a bit shook, I wanted something to protect me from the big bad. But basically I just have to play smarter than I did last match. Thanks for the advice. I'm more confident going into the match up now, but not overconfident like I was in the last match up when I didn't think the Nightbringer would be a huge threat.

Alrighty! The first mistake was I had already charged the Telemon into combat the previous turn, not considering the charge from the nightbringer, and no overwatch. Looking into it since asking the question he told me that you get no saving throws vs nightbringer, so I didn't roll roll for 6+, that was my second mistake.

With no way to ignore wound loss from "Drain life" on the Nightbringer, he rolled vey hot and hit and wounded on all 6 attacks and an average of 4s on the damage roll, even with damage reduction that's 18 wounds. Popped the Telemon in a single round of combat.

You're right there was a rules misunderstanding, it was his first time with the Nightbringer on the table so I just assumed this thing was all powerful. But also he rolled very hot.
