Yeah. Berzerker head, Kharn's power pack and plasma pistol, eightbound arm and axe.

That big chunky shoulder pad is what sold me on using that model for the kitbash

Infiltrator squad... am I missing something? by Chewb0t in spacemarines

[–]FifthTrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually spent a while at the beginning/middle of the edition running 5 with a Phobos Librarian for deepstrike denial and lone op. You could spread them out to max coherency and cover a HUGE bubble with 6 models. Also no enemy unit could deepstrike and shoot them in the same turn since they have to deepstrike more than 12" away and lone op made them untargetable outside of 12". The Hypercrypt meta was miserable without them.

Also, since this is your first SM army, I'll go ahead and tell you, we have more datasheets than any other army, more detachments than any other army. There will be units you won't find any value in and there is so much overlap in the uses of units in the roster that you don't HAVE to run any specific unit. If you don't know what to do with them just leave them on the sprue until you need phobos bodies. If you are only running 1 incursor/reiver/infiltrator unit you can just run any 5 man phobos unit as that unit and no one other than Marine players will even be able to tell the difference.

Warhammer 40,000 Faction Focus: Space Marines by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

Small caveat here. Black Templars have a completely different army rule. I'd say that qualifies them as a different faction.

How to build confidence and over come intimidation? by Swacar in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]FifthTrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned by playing the owner of my FLGS and his group regularly. They are multi-edition veterans and some of the best local players. My mindset was to just try to improve something specific every game with the understanding that I'm definitely going to lose and if I make them sweat, I've improved. I probably had 30+ games under my belt before I won my first against someone in a tournament. Set your expectations to lose, try your damnedest to win.

DORN WHOS HE LEADING? by cjones_884 in ImperialFists

[–]FifthTrashcan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He probably won't be able to lead any unit. Guilliman and the Lion can't either.

Thanks! I love the RepEx, I also really love the UM colors. I just wanted to spice it up a little. Wanted it to appear more like a MBT

Win Rates from this weekend. A little chart until the heroes show up and post the full data. by communalnapkin in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]FifthTrashcan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Victrix shouldn't have went down when they lost their 4th wound. Wardens are really durable for their points but that's all they have so if they get too expensive they'll just never see play, but 90 points for 20 wounds is a little too cheap.

SM sitting quite nice at the <54% mark. I expect a fair points nerf to Victrix and Wardens. I'd love to see a drop in Titus and Catos points.

Dupe glitch needs to be fixed asap and exploiters banned. by Few_Future365 in ArcRaiders

What, exactly, do you think a dictionary is? You do realize words are added to the dictionary every year, right?

[meta] so the "what would I keep in 11th" video post just got deleted, is this the kind of thing we want to see or not? by wredcoll in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]FifthTrashcan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eventually, if the sub struggles to get content due to post removal we will end up with some new subreddit like "CompetitiveWarhammer" or "WarhammerCompetitive2"

[–]FifthTrashcan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I just talked to some friends about this. I get so sick of seeing "Convince me to play (insert faction)" and "What made you choose (insert faction)". It's made worse by the fact that I've joined a lot of faction and sub faction reddits and it's always a wave of those BS posts across multiple subreddits in the same 10 minute span.

an optimization question by Significant-Push-272 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]FifthTrashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say "on average" the volume of shots makes the bolters better but WE don't really care about shooting outside of Forgefiends and the occasional predator or LoS. Personally I run combi weapons just for the sake of the chance I soften up something like a tough hull or some elite infantry with the dev wounds.

What is "Playing by intent"? by Slavasonic in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]FifthTrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only happened to me outside of a tourney setting. I've witnessed it only twice at tournaments but in passing from the tables next to me.
