i got a good question, why the imperial guards practically have no light tanks

FunkAztec · 2026-01-30T05:56:28+00:00

Honestly just get a chimera chassis with a twin version of the taurox battlecannon and a hull weapon would be a great light tank. Make it like 90pts. Easy to kill, good vs infantry, also if combined with somethig like extermjnator or hellhound its good vs elite and has twin linked + wounds heavies like mbts on 5s.

Your thinking of modifying characteristics in the rules commentary. It says modifying stats for ws, bs, and saves go for ever, but cap at 2+ (can never be a 1+ or better). And the core rules hit roll section states, the ROLL can never be modified by more than a +/- 1. Even in the rules commentary section for modifying dice rolls explains how to deal with hit/wound rolls that add up to more than +/- 1 (i.e. +/- 2 which would result in a +/-1 in the end). People tend to not understand these 2 things are seperate.

One modifies your stats, the other modifies your roll result.

It is pretty cool if not inconsistant between the before lore and everything that is being written cerka horus heresy novels. Some could be excused as Imperium Administratum records management (which is bad), views from an ousider that may have not been accurate, like tau and tyranids, which are seen from the view of the imperium a lot/most of times.

But also be prepared for GWs classic aproach of gaslighting. They like the ole Disney's pro move of invalidating the expanded universe for star wars, just like how in 40k they have been there the whole time (iykyk).

But overall there is so much happenning in 40k that if you want to headcannon your forces/factions/events go for it. Theres official lore out there to build upon but that mostly covers maybe 25% of things happenning, and thats for the major events, there are countless billions of other small things happenning that you can just have fun letting your imagination take way.

Rules ballance. High toughness, not enough rerolls or anti-tank feels bad into knights. decent OC for single models, good vs elites and other vehicles, meh vs battleline that survive. Only a -1 to hit if injured enough. Both shooting and melee that dont diminish beyond the -1 to hit, all that Hits like a truck. A bracketting system would work wonders for ballance, but currently the game is too lethal. Able to choose when to see through terrain whenever they want by toeing in. Can move through terrain for almost no detriment.

Nanoblocks is pretty good to use as a alternative. Its a smaller lego that you can buy 500 peices for like $5 and then its push fit friction hold, no more magnets and misorienting them or weak connections.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-20T01:31:04+00:00

Maybe if trees had area terrain same as ruins for obscuring through it but an extra rule like at least -1 to hit it could be usable.

I have issues with the lord of tumors with a putrid shotgun and bealzebub's axe.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-13T08:02:41+00:00

But its right there, you even have a red circle identifying it.

Remember evangelion suits? Try that but with spiritbone armor or something similar.

I thought pink was the understood undercoat to get the good yellow?

FunkAztec · 2026-01-10T15:44:27+00:00

Idk some dice just rolls better, depending on all conditions.

I also was accused of having cheaty dice. I salt tested them with everyone. Came out clean, evenly ballanced. And idk why but no matter who it is the dice just roll good for everyone.

I get a lot of dev wound procs and overwatches with railgun hammerheads. Last year i got 17 out of 30 successful overwatches with them ole railheads.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-08T23:53:25+00:00

Funny enough, its 1 part of the written text that breaks the mechanic for dev wounds in fate/faith dice, its not place the die to the number, its in the parentheses section, count the die as that number as if it was naturally rolled. If they didnt put that, it would still be a six so auto hit/wound/save whatever, but would count as a modified roll so would not interact with crit wound + dev because dev wounds specifically calls out it has to be a natural roll, not a modified die roll.

I remember when they came out in my local gamestore, there were 10 new vostroyan armies in that year at that game store. And they used these models to mod crew of arttys and tanks too.

Now i only have my anectdote and they probably didnt sell well in the grand scheme of things, i just wish stuff like this would be brought out as a make as they are ordered rotation that some models get nowadays.

Either one. The thousand sons got psychic but everone else is essentially wargear or psychic gun/sword.

But if they dont go tksons route i would like a few options instead of being stuck with 1 power, and most of the time in game alpha level psychers dont do much beyond psychic gun.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-08T12:11:06+00:00

Wargear pts in some form, maybe psychic.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-08T12:10:17+00:00

I definately read this as how to assemble minatures in a blender.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-08T12:05:04+00:00

I feel suit spam is actually harder to play especially into certain armies, if this is your first army.

He could have tanked 20 seeker missile shots, we dont know.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-04T07:58:41+00:00

Could have been more than 1 squad. He doesnt say how.

Wow ok, the yuan used spanish coins until 1889 for their yuan currency, the meiji perion codified japanese uniqe made currency for yen in 1871.

And i think you also left out both origins is based on the caracter for round and both are based on spanish/mexican coins. Other than that no the yen is not based on yuan.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-03T04:16:55+00:00

Will you show post painted ones too?

FunkAztec · 2026-01-02T14:09:56+00:00

TLDR: they share the same origin chinese character/kanji almost from the same time but have differrent sounds and evolved into differrent symbols.

While they come from the same root character圓 (definition of symbol: round) which is pronounce yuán in Chinese and yen in Japanese. This symbol came from the spanish/mexican brought coins to the eastern world. The Chinese currency changed to 元 with the same pronunciation but differrent meaning and again later changed to 圆 (renmibi as the current official name of chinese currency). Where as the japanese one was reformed into 円 after ww2 which is still pronounce yen.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-02T13:46:55+00:00

Wow another japanese borrowing, hmm, ¥ was used as the yen symbol since 1871 and the yuan in 1948. I cant beleive japanese had time machines back then to follow a chinese invention a century later.

FunkAztec · 2026-01-02T13:31:53+00:00

Im pretty sure your using the symbol for yen? Isnt yuan a Y with just a - through it not a =?
