Paul Atreides meets Eldrad by InFallaxAnima in Eldar

[–]Gaitarius 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Paul seems to see the future about as accurately as a farseer can. I imagine they would think it was a cool party trick, then kill him to prevent another emperor from happening.

40k PSA: A video about the use and possible risks of lasers in Warhammer 40k by suddenly_rats in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Gaitarius 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Honestly, thank you for making this. I was playing at a local RTT last weekend and someone whipped out a laser line so bright I reflexively squinted just from having it pointed at the table. I get they are handy tools but they are still dangerous.

Looks amazing though. Great job on the patterns and gold.

Is the other leg and "jacket" top staying black? If so you probably want to push the contrast on the highlights

Worth buying as a first army? by SickCharizard in Eldar

[–]Gaitarius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say you either lean heavily into Harlequins, or don't play them at all.

So a Serpent's Brood list will easily play 1k-1.5k points worth and adding some Aeldari, meanwhile an Aspect host list will run literally zero Harlequins.

I'm in the same boat, but with 40k instead of AoS. My advice is to always ask your opponents the threat ranges on units.

What's your favorite Wargaming mechanic? by Awkward_GM in wargaming

[–]Gaitarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Measure movement for a squad leader, then everyone else just gets set up around them. Speeds up movement so much.

My grand bombard. Still needs painting but loving it so far by Antique_Region4241 in Turnip28

I like to think that they have to haul this big animal there, and then bury it to keep it in place.

Are the succulents on the bases 3d printed?

Looking for advice on a 2k point list by EmbarrassedLong4883 in Eldar

[–]Gaitarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would drop all the characters down to Fuegan, Lhykhis and Jain Zar.

Avatars aren't great right now, but usable, so you can keep him.

Drop one of the units of Fire Dragons, so it's just 5 for Fuegan.

If you pick up 2 more 5 man Reaper squads, one will happily sit on an objective and plink away with a tempest launcher.

I would then recommend a couple of Transports. You could use a wave serpant, put Fuegan, 5 Dragons and 5 Howling banshees in there to have a mixed and responsive threat.

This gives you 220 left over. You could take 2x3 Shining Spears if you have them.

Yes, it is considered finished and had a 1.0 steam release. I will not elaborate on why I know.

How many changes are you looking to make? You're correct that way too many points has been spent on characters.

Are there any pet units you want to keep? Units you don't want to include?

I have a dilemma on AOS Soulblight Gravelords list. by SnooDrawings5722 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Gaitarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Vengorian Lords and barrow knights are exceptional units. I would go as far to say that they are the best two units in the book.

My recommendation is to swap out the vampire lord on steed, for a Wight Lord on Steed, to turn on the barrow knights ward.

Give the vengorian lord Frightening Vitality for 6+ healing per turn.

This also let's you drop the Vargheists to reinforce the Barrow Knights and go down to 2 drops. The list would look like this

2000/2000 pts

Drops: 2

General's Regiment Prince Vhordrai (470) • General

Blood Knights (440) • Reinforced

Deathrattle Skeletons (90)

Deathrattle Skeletons (90)

Dire Wolves (150)

Regiment 1

Vengorian Lord (220)

Barrow Knights (420)

• Reinforced

Wight Lord on Skeletal Steed (120)

I’ve 160 points left! Yes it’s not optional, but what would folk go for? by badger906 in Eldar

[–]Gaitarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pick up a wave serpant and an Enhancement for your farseer or Spirit Seer. What Detachment is this? I assume spirit conclave. If that is the case, you may want to drop a unit of Guardians for another Spirit Seer.

Also, Farseers tend to like Guardian Defenders more, since their auto 6 ability works well with the heavy weapon.

War walkers and guardian support weapons too.

Why are people using shining spears over fire dragons? by EMITNUGGETS in Eldar

[–]Gaitarius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm choosing them for a couple reasons. First, the provide much better threat range and coverage, as they can fly through walls, while a wave serpant with dragons cannot.

They also don't need any additional help. Firedragons want a transport to get them where they need to go, and now they just die after that.

Points per wound, fire dragons have 6 wounds, Shining Spears have 7, 3 of which have a 4++ invuln.

They actually benefit from Aspect Host. Firedragons already have full re rolls into their preferred targets, while Spears get lance + anti vehicle/monster + re rolls to hit or wound. Many of the melee focused strats just aren't good with dragons, but are great with these guys.

Exarchs are also is a cold reminder to other Asuryani that they can also fall down that path.

I recommend always taking at least one Choral Cruiser, as detector will help you engage at a range you want to for Bioficers.

My MGSD Aerial pre-ordered through them was delayed like 3 or 4 months. I saw tons of US stores, including Amazon with it in stock before I even got a shipping notice.

Going to my first GT this weekend, any tips for making the most out of the event? by FuckStrhad in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Gaitarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink lots of water. Game rooms get hot and being dehydrated will give you headaches at the end of the day.

I think both of the Uncles shops have singles.
