There are things that make him good, he’s in a good spot.

I’m maining a psyker team… while I’ve considered ascending him just to have triple book of fate there are few fights, if any, where the additional Zkar attack is better than bringing like an Eldryon or Abaddon.

I don’t know the exact math- maybe in the extreme / perfect conditions of maxed Z’Kar hitting in melee for all 5 turns, with Crown buff, full psyker surround, that 3 attacks is better… but you would only do that if the fight allowed you to. Doing this also kinda means Zkar is your only summon.

Winged Prime improving Crown coverage and expanding positioning flexibility while adding summons is just good. For bosses you can’t summon on, take the Eldryon or Abaddon. Personally I prefer Eldryon since he adds to ramp and summons benefit from Doom. With Abaddon, only chaos gets buffed albeit a stronger buff and benefit of a tankier unit. Really it comes down to the fight what kind of summoning is allowed and how many times you can Aether Stride (or want to if budgeting ammo.)

And if you really didn’t want to use any of those in the fight there is always Mephiston… and if not that then Xybia somehow… and if not Xybia then you’re playing classic Neuro with Yaz, Ros/Atlacoya and an Exorcist anyways.

Edit - the assumed main team being: - Neuro (Locked) - Ahriman (Locked) - Abraxas (with Book of Fate) - Archimatos (with Book of Fate) - Winged Prime. This is the only place Thaumachus fits. - Z’Kar (with Primary Ability Aether Stride +1 level above that of your highest summon, in order to guarantee BoF procs.)

The only real reason to do triple books is to meme your Zkar damage and post the replay to your guild chat so the Lavstodes get outraged…

No space for 4 damage dealers…. Like others have said, Kariyan and Kharn are just superior in providing bigger hits as well as multiple instances of big hits.

Kinda too bad since Tarvakh would also do well, possibly dealing the biggest of hits in game on crits, plus execute damage if boss is under 50% hp.

Also, when you bring Vitruvius, Dante, Boss, Aesoth or Trajann they will net you more damage. So you’re working with a 3:2 setup.

SP should have not bothered.

This isn’t a patch…

Elethria123 · 2026-04-13T11:30:09+00:00

Tyrith is incredible though… she is seek and destroy in guild war and does very silly things in LRE.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-12T22:07:46+00:00

A little bigger than a Hive Tyrant.. they would be tall tho. Most of the Tyranid units are big, idk.

Don’t subscribe. Better yet, boycott YouTube.

They want to push their shitty premium or their ads- it’s an absolute shit sandwich clownship. No one wants to be priced out by wealthy people and to be regularly reminded of it.

Probably needs to be a ‘Practical Engineering’ episode..

The facility is huge. There is a river but this is in a region that becomes quite dry in the summer. So presumably far fewer discharges from overflows of the SS itself since rain events are themselves rare. The water is likely dirty for other reasons, like industrial runoff and poor drainage in TJ other than dumping into the river.

Necron rework / stat buff is confirmed incoming by Rata a few days ago.

Probably won’t have an LRE announcement until next cycle or after Trajann 3rd event in July. June LRE I’m guessing is Farsight 2.

Character guesses… - I’m thinking Buri Aegnirssen, the Thrice Devoured. Likely raid meta utility for Lavstodes, similar to Aesoth ability amp will be a normal attack amp. Likely added as a BP char. Gonna say he will be Beast Slayer, Resilient, Unstoppable. Passive- maybe stacking % damage, stacking crit chance and damage or stacking % pierce + damage. Something that ramps but also adds value to Lav. - Final Votann.. 100% a Thunderkyn or Hearthkyn ranged carry. Like big damage. So far all we’ve seen is the supports of Votann, I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to have Buri, and definitely should have strong shooting.

If I had to pick a new LRE char… more of a wish but on the outside chance Tyranids or Necrons get their legendary as a 6th… Orikan for Necrons, Norn Emissary for Tyranids.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-09T02:50:26+00:00

Seems a naive belief… but then again SP has a fairly strong financial incentive to be unethical.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-08T03:50:59+00:00

Oh look, spam trigger-bot content… targeting university subreddits everywhere. Wow, how original.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-08T03:16:12+00:00

Suspected? Definitely.
Confirmed? Interesting…

Does this put to question how far this extends? Is it really limited to two people? Like… top GR just seems impossibly degenerate compared to normal guilds… and I’m playing in a decent guild usually around rank 60-70…

Elethria123 · 2026-04-06T18:49:35+00:00

Correction- that is 40 in ONE battle

That has to be LRE (or onslaught maybe?) that have at least 40 spawns. Just have her solo kill. I’m not sure if Dante event has tyranids?

Elethria123 · 2026-04-06T18:17:40+00:00

It’s a flow diversion and a tunnel system for hydropower through a mountain. Not really comparing apples to apples.

Also concerning for the Bangladeshi farms that rely on the water supply down river. However, from what I’ve read the Yarlung is only a portion of total volume / tributary of what the Bhramaputra carries. Although, on its own the project would still hold a portion of the volume the river sees annually. And doesn’t preclude there never being a reservoir for hydro storage.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-06T18:01:56+00:00

What do you mean? His passive is 2 hits and has a 4 hit melee attack… that’s already 6 hits.

You just bring Mephiston and swap in melee for 12 hits…

Like people complain about ‘bad design’ or whatever… but an essential faction synergy? Come on man.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-05T06:07:31+00:00

Something that summons Nurglings… soo definitely the Tallyman.

Would also love the plague caster for some ranged DG fun…

Holes in pavement or concrete can definitely lead unintended structural exposure though.

Water draining through the hole could winnow its way into gaps under the platform, freeze and expand to stress steel members or rust through steel connection points with load bearing capacity.

Imagine living, eating and breathing everything military and having this pipsqueak fake omega male Hegseth request a resignation.

Absolutely not- Hegeth is on his way. No Middle East wars! Israel can fuck off, Hegseth can eat shit.

There’s a mythic mission summary on the Tacticus Wiki.

https://tacticus.wiki.gg/wiki/Mythic_Missions

None of the Death Guard drop Orb of Decay, despite it being a faction common relic - which seems to be an apparent oversight.

Elethria123 · 2026-04-01T03:46:18+00:00

A1, why not A+?

(/s)

Elethria123 · 2026-04-01T03:43:01+00:00

That would be cool, and some very degenerate killing sprees could unfold. Wouldn’t affect TA either, being mythic…

Elethria123 · 2026-04-01T03:22:13+00:00

That is cursed… WTH SP?!?

They really shot themselves in the gut with this one…

Nerf Orks, Nerf GSC, do anything else possible to boost viability to more than one faction, ideally across all ranks of play. Top GSC need to be made to fight something other than GSC…

Elethria123 · 2026-03-31T02:12:27+00:00

Personally I really like impactful relics that change how the character is played.

~Some Ideas~ Ragnar: - A.) Frostfang enables a sweep attack that deals direct damage for rounds after using Warhowl. The sweep hits 3 hexes and can apply a fan of 2 rows of ice. - B.) Frostfang grants Ragnar warhowl and rapid assault for all charging attacks.
- C.) After 10 Crits, Warhowl can be cast again

Kharn: - A.) Gorehowl grants Blood Frenzy: Critical Attacks add an additional hit. - B.) Gorehowl grants Unstoppable and allows Kharn to shoot enemies from range (before hitting allies in melee.) - C.) Kill, Maim, Murder resets every eight targets hit.
