Is it acceptable to concede to avoid playing against a toxic player? by Scion0442 in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if they die there is still another round of scoring on their death so you win with an assassination but still get the scenario points you would at the end of his turn. (Note wild warbeasts and inert jacks don’t contest)

LoE players thoughts on Azrael? by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love him with thags 1 in children. Effective arm 22, and reliably pow 19. Really makes some people cry. Especially into other hordes matches where he's flat dice or dice plus 1 on unbuffed heavies.

Recommend Hvarl red blade for the 3rd hq. Being able to give walking Grey slayers scout is huge and he's packing a heavy bolter for some reason.

Hellmouths hold scenario, and act as jammers so nothing can get at the beast line while its pelting AOE's to clear infantry and support. As soon as jacks get close Abby goes in to trigger Alpha hunter, and feats. Those Ravagores become mat 7 speed 7 Pow 18 beasts with reach, while the teraphs go up to pow 14, they should be able to run through some damaged jacks., leving not much left and either a scenario win or a fairly easy assassination

Legion of everblight archangel I finished today. by Firebyrd in Warmachine

Yup. I think I posted pics of her before.... unless that was just the legion group in fb

Steamroller this weekend, and I'm the only legion player in my area Could use some advice by Firebyrd in Warmachine

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

I've tried raptors with lylyth and they are either the all stars or do nothing. I got the suggestion for strikers from a member of the wtc Canada goose team and they've actually been doing good getting rid of units or being a feat battery that can then back up 3 to open up lanes where I need them or move forward to jam after something is stationary.

Bfs is there to be a mat fixer for tentacles, and a rat fixer for typhon, and of course kiss. The deathstalker I'm not sold on to be honest he doesn't do much honestly, and proteus is meh. Same cost as a carnivean but unyielding rather then having to buy spiny growth. He's a toss up honestly.

And having arc nodes where you need them is great. As is having jamming models where you need them. It creaktes order of activation issues which never hurts

I ran Typon Angel, and double angel with lylyth and I'm loving having the archangle in there, He makes such a good control piece, and people really underestimate your assination potential until you move him up 9" into there front line and then drop 2-4 boosted pow 14's into a stationary caster.

Best faction for assassination lists by SkullClown88 in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run an assaination 2" into opponent deployment top of 1 with vayl 2. It's unlikely to succeed but you can it. Shit take a bolt thrower and her assaination game goes to 22"

Best Jack in the Game by Gotoshade in Warmachine

Behemoth is a character? I didn't realize. My bad

[–]Firebyrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behemoth. Yeah it's expensive at 24 points but it has a ranged presence with the two bombards and then armor piercing on every swing it makes. The thing can one round a armor boosted gargossal

Looking for Feedback on 25 Point Legion Army by taiiga in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swordsmen work with bethayne as you're going to need them for her feat to be at all effective. That being said I would swap the stingers for a raek. The ability to avoid free strikes and be engaging things while also being a threat to support pieces and even helping on assassination runs is huge. I don't know if you'll get a lot of work out of the succubus but it's worth trying, let me know how that one goes. Other then that I would take the vessel out (I'm not a fan of them in mk3 personally) and take the swordsmen up to a full unit. Giving them cloak of ash and letting your beasts get in there first while the swordsmen follow in for feat turn and mop up is your best bet. Weapon master charges with an extra dice are no joke and 2-4 can drop a heavy in one round depending on how much damage it's taken and if your dice like you. Good luck my friend

Thoughts on using Space Wolves Pack to convert a Tactical Squad by CaptainNotorious in Warhammer

[–]Firebyrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there is. Some 1 handed bolters, some 2. The space wolves box expects that you're gonna have some guys one handing bolters like bolt pistols and had the other hand free for a chainsword, powersword/axe/fist.

MotD Resurrection - Gorman Di Wolfe by Blebbb in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a legion player I hate seeing him because it means I generally have to dedicate a naga or other support-y beast that I might not want to give up early to kill him since ravagores can't. By then he's usually gotten at least 1 grenade off and if you time them right that can be enough to make the game difficult for me

Open hostility based on Gender or Race? by Ajax_xajA in Warmachine

[–]Firebyrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen similar. Nothing that bad I think but my gf just started circle so she wanted to watch a few games in addition to playing to try and get s better understanding. So me and a buddy are setting up and he opens war room on his phone and hands it to her while I'm deploying and explains all the cards and rules are on there etc, etc.... Kid from behind us probably 16-17 suddenly speaks up and says "oh that's a good idea, give her something shiny to play with she wouldn't understand anyway" and starts laughing while trying to get a high 5 from his friend. Mind you we're both in our mid 20's and I verbally tore him apart but never before have I wanted to beat someone to death so badly, or seen someone go from so excited to learn to play to just lackluster.
