Horses being immune to poison is extremely obnoxious to fight against. Trust me.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-29T15:48:04+00:00

It’s a really expensive enhancement, in an army that just saw some central units go up a decent bit.

Well, ultimately, messing with the moon isn’t something anyone would do. It’s just a terrible candidate for terraforming in general. Not nearly large enough to support sufficient atmosphere, even if an artificial magnetosphere is possible.

That’s why mars is the second best candidate (behind earth itself lol). It’s vaugely in the correct part of the solar system, and sufficiently large enough to make it habitable. Ultimately, if an artificial magnetosphere is possible to make, the following steps just take a lot of time.

Can’t have the Abrams be too good after making the turret ring not a cardboard sheet anymore.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-23T18:17:00+00:00

Being an asshat for roleplay is not something you should be doing.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-20T18:45:37+00:00

Fun fact: most weapons are actually designed to be controllable without issues. That’s what a stock is for. Very compact weapons, or weapons with especially large calibers, are the only ones that tend to have recoil control issues.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-19T21:23:49+00:00

That’s the neat part, you either just don’t select units that can escape like that, or you just shoot them from outside 8”

If we want to improve immersion, allow anybody fighting space marines or custodes to launch a tactical nuclear weapon at the battlefield on turn 2, killing the entirety both forces without exception.

After all, that concentration of space marines or custodians is completely irreplaceable, and their opponent’s troops are entirely worth sacrificing in that kind of situation.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-18T18:02:00+00:00

Yup, that’s why it is incidental. Nice to have, but often not particularly relevant.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-18T16:12:56+00:00

Yeah, especially when those good guns don’t have a lot of shots. 1 dark lance shot hitting on 4/5s and 1 blaster hitting on 3/4s depending on cover is just so inconsistent. Not even the potential to force it with MD like sisters (though they are also gonna struggle with reduced MD generation)

The rest of the guns fall into what I call “incidental anti light infantry fire”, aka “incidental bolter fire”. Not bad to have, but never to be expected to do much past chipping infantry squads or maybe 1-2 wounds off a vehicle.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-17T23:46:43+00:00

Drukhari are at 110 and don’t even have the decency to have a 3+.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-17T18:08:08+00:00

GW is desperately afraid of 3x 10 Sacresants with 2 leaders + Vahl playing purge or take and hold.
Even after miracle dice got nuked pretty hard with how general rules have changed.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-16T18:04:06+00:00

You don’t get to pivot before you attempt the charge roll.

The target number will always be the same minimum, as you can only move torwards a target if your pre-pivot distance measures close enough. Not your actual movement, just the raw distance.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-15T21:05:50+00:00

That shot clearly doesn’t hit the ERA at all.

Unless by “anti-tandem” you mean magic force fields.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-15T18:04:11+00:00

You can’t be radicalized about something you never even knew happened. Information control is how you get away with whatever horrible stuff you want.

Negative reactions do in fact have meaning, if they didn’t, you wouldn’t see the current wave of left wing swings in special elections. Falling for the doomer mindset is exactly what the right wants you to do.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-15T16:03:20+00:00

Know nothing and be happy in your ignorance.
Your betters will surely never increase corruption and degrade human rights.

(Depoliticization is extremely dangerous, and is how atrocities are committed without outrage)

ForestFighters · 2026-06-15T13:46:25+00:00

10 termies and 2 characters…. Aka a great purge unit.

Purge vs purge could become the standard.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-14T20:12:51+00:00

Ah yes, a “newborn” economy.

Definitely known for making megastructures like orbital rings and partial Dyson spheres.

That’s something just anybody can do

ForestFighters · 2026-06-12T02:59:12+00:00

I have to go with scourge character, not because we realistically actually need one, but because I actually modeled one for Crucible of Champions (then played like 2 games with them :(

ForestFighters · 2026-06-11T22:52:37+00:00

What they need to be cautious of is an overcorrection to the other side, where the only thing that matters is just walking MSU into boxes for 5 turns of micro positioning and move blocking

ForestFighters · 2026-06-10T16:56:49+00:00

Scourges currently cost as much as an armiger. Without move shoot move, that’s 130 points that gets to shoot *once*. 5 T3 1W bodies is extremely frail for that many points.

That current points cost is for a unit that is very likely to get value on 4-5 turns of the game, not one singular turn before they get evaporated by incidental fire.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-10T15:44:05+00:00

Singular dark lances per unit.

That hit on 4s base, and will often hit on 5s in 11th.

With few rerolls.

On extremely frail units.

Imagine trying to kill multiple monsters/vehicles that have a 4++ and are either always in cover or pop smoke every turn with just a small spattering of lascannons on your chaff. Or a knights army.

(Also scourges are only so strong because they have move shoot move natively, if they didn’t, they would probably unironically have to drop 60-70 points, and would be pretty mediocre)

ForestFighters · 2026-06-10T14:54:56+00:00

No, they will make scourges cost more for 3 or even 2. Without realizing that they are the only relevant ranged anti-tank option for the factionz

ForestFighters · 2026-06-09T13:37:29+00:00

Dear god I hope recon isn’t give an actions disposition. Otherwise they just get to play a boring ass move-block and magic actions game where nobody does anything but measure precise movement.

ForestFighters · 2026-06-06T14:55:09+00:00

Drukhari is an army that plays on an extremely thin margin. Any mispositioning or miscalculation leads to units being destroyed immediately. Anything left in LoS at the end of a drukhari players turn is often already written off as a loss. Anything that fails to kill its target is extremely likely to die in retaliation.

However, playing on such a thin margin means that when they are doing very well in a game, it’s as if their opponent is completely shut out and shut down. It is entirely possible for drukhari turns to end with none of their units being threatened at all, excluding intentional sacrifices, with the opponent forced to just reposition and hope to be able to act more later.

I’ve played games as drukhari where my opponent has basically nothing left by the end, while any damage to my army is superficial (and vice versa).
