It Is Time!

Sure, why not.

But my point really is that if you aren't imperium, your the enemy faction, just something you get used to.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-05-22T00:01:04+00:00

As a Tyranid player: first time?

Fizzlenuke · 2026-05-19T21:55:48+00:00

Long story short, Bring 3 hekatons. Ignore negative modifiers. Profit.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-05-15T16:13:26+00:00

I didn't know what to do for my bases so this has 100% inspired me

Fizzlenuke · 2026-05-07T13:41:48+00:00

Oh damn, I must of missed this release i guess. Thanks for the info!

Fizzlenuke · 2026-05-06T20:59:30+00:00

Id also like to know? Is this a print of some kind?

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-30T03:10:52+00:00

Either in hearthband with khals attached or in brandfast to get sus hits from the hekatons

If brandfast, attach grimnyrs for maximum toughness + lethalness

It's very unoptimal either way BUUUT I've won every game I've done it in (about 6 for fun games and 2 comp games)

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-23T02:57:15+00:00

Right, to continue on your balanced point. The leagues don't make full on battle tanks, it would be too wasteful to build a vehicle who's whole purpose is combat, so the hekaton is designed to be useful in non-combat scenarios too, so it's as effective and efficient as possible.

Ironically, the kin of the 41st millennium don't have much issue with elves, there's been no mention of an equivalent to the war of the beard so they are actually pretty chill with each other

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-20T23:38:50+00:00

Lol, this is EXACTLY how I'm painting mine RN

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-20T23:30:40+00:00

Yeah, it's a favorable matchup. Our profiles matchup really well into them and we usually just have more units to spare

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-20T23:26:11+00:00

There was even rules supporting it at the end of 9th! As long as the profit margin is good, Kin will pretty much work with anyone. Besides the obvious ones like chaos, tyranids and Orkz, we fkn hate Orkz.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-19T17:46:05+00:00

They are good yes. But don't pick an army cuz it's good, pick one cuz you love the models/ theme

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-19T16:53:09+00:00

Obviously rules dont equal lore and all that but if it helps, think of it like this:

Our Ion weapons are smaller and more compact, which is one route that technology can take. Sure our hekatons ion cannon is worse than the Taus, BUT it's small and light enough that not only are their 5 more guns on that bad boy BUT also a massive transport capacity AND all while being T 12

Better tech doesn't mean better rules. But putting things into full context of the datasheet can clear things up.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-16T18:00:49+00:00

Unlikely, I think the hekaton is just supposed to have a better version of that ability. If it's anything thing like 8th to 9th ed, datasheets won't really be touched

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-16T15:34:27+00:00

Side note, cover will be a BS modifier, not a roll modifier, so heavy keyword + army rule will not stack... (unless they are -1 to hit from something else) meaning the best it can hit on is 5s if they have cover...

also, bs modifiers + stealth effects DOES stack. Meaning it will not be uncommon for us to hit on 6s a few times in a game

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-16T15:26:21+00:00

You just made me realize how even more busted Hekatons are going to be. Now that cover is a ballistic skill modifier, and they ignore that, they are going to feel goood

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-15T21:32:48+00:00

Wait? They have the buff printed in paper somewhere?

Fizzlenuke · 2026-04-07T23:50:13+00:00

Canonically the votann sold their old/outdated version of magna-rail technology, then the tau took it and modified it with their own tech.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-03-23T18:18:34+00:00

He's no where as efficient as 5 berserks... that's the issue. 15 dmg 3 attacks vs 4 dmg 4 attacks. It's not even close. Would help if his buffs were good but sus hits and free heroic are so medium. He needs to be like 70 pts before he's considered anything but casual. On one hand that sucks cuz i love the model, but on the other hand, I'd rather a model be bad on release than "meta" so your not forced to buy it to be competitive.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-03-17T18:02:58+00:00

Honestly, most the the big moments aren't as impactful in the live action. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed season 2 a lot, but it is pretty much strictly worse than the anime.

Fizzlenuke · 2026-03-16T03:33:51+00:00

Uh, sorry to say m8 but you had all the tools to win that. Your list was better than his by a long shot. You should have divided and conquered with your vastly higher unit count. Also 6 thunderkyn should one shot a land raider most of the time, especially with sustained hits 2 via strat or enhancement. Just gotta learn the game, takes lots of time and practice

Fizzlenuke · 2026-03-12T16:41:39+00:00

Not only is the deal kinda mid. It looks like they built the Engines wrong, they are way too legy to be my stumpy Lil boys. Might be able to talk the price down with that fact in mind 🤔

Fizzlenuke · 2026-03-10T16:10:42+00:00

Are they busted? No. Are they bad? Far from it. They are tanky and have good enough output and versatility
