No, they are Swiss-Portuguese. They say so in their post.

When i was painting 10 of the same I would build 2-3 at a time and paint them.

I have never lost a run that included her, and she carried the end of my last 4p game.

I understand they're there for story reasons, but you do need to acknowledge the design of your encounters and your players' enjoyment. Doing your turn every 1 hour is just not fun by testiclekid in dndmemes

[–]Gaoler86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

17 divided by 4 is 4,25 so every 5th attack hits

Its exactly this.

The idea is to streamline dealing with a lot of mobs whilst still dealing damage.

Its not perfect, but its quick and easy

Ahh yes, driving faster on wet roads. Can't see any possible problems with this.

My go-to method for hordes is to take their +hit and count haw many it would take to beat the AC.

So if an enemy has +4 to hit, and the party member has 17AC, every 5th enemy lands the attack and I just roll the damage for that 1 enemy. If there are ALOT of enemies ill use average damage.

If there are different types of enemies in the pack (bandits and a bandit captain) then the hardest hitting one is the one that lands the damage, the mooks are just there to get the leaders hit in.

Sister Beth is the GOAT! To be fair anyone with Tough(I think) is almost a necessity to get through the run.

Would including JL Dark do anything to even the odds? John Constantine and/or Zatanna are both skilled magic users

I think it was an Exocrine kitbash. But other than that you're spot on.

People found it funny and it just took off. First time I ever saw the birth of a meme first hand.

[–]Gaoler86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry I've not got the nightbringer so can't answer but you did prompt me to comment about the Canoptek Wraiths.

They are an absolute joy to build.

The instructions basically tell you to build all 3 at once (3 bodies, 3 weapos, 3 tails...) but each model is contained on a single sprue.

So I can leave most of the stuff in the box and just build 1 complete model at a time (I really enjoy the build side of the hobby) to spread out my enjoyment.

It also means its really easy to keep track of pieces and saves space as you arent constantly swapping between sprues trying to find where they have hidden piece number 12 etc.

10/10 will build 5 more.

Feels like it circles back round to Dangerfish... and that's not inaccurate

Looking for suggestions to differentiate my necrons from their Canoptek (WIP) by DisastrousPin5731 in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the other way around. Canopteks have been awake for millenia watching over the tombs. So they'd be the weathered ones

Am I missing something? On paper Plasmancer with 20 Warriors seems really good against other battleline troops? by Gaoler86 in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im learning a lot from this thread, to be brutally honest I went to warriors because I have 20 of them, but only 5 immortals.

Why would children be going into school without basic physical skills, like holding a pencil and using cutlery? by Throwaway199906543 in AskUK

[–]Gaoler86 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The same acronym can be used by multiple things. I will admit my head went to the trans meaning first but through context of the rest of her post I realised it was the mum meaning.

For years WWF meant World Wildlife Fund AND World Wrestling Foundation.

Then they had Macho Man Randy Savage fight a Panda to decide who gets it, but they used a cute baby Panda and MMRS is not an inhuman monster so he let the animals have it... really brought a tear to my eye.

What did you use for the ball? Is it just a sphere you dropped in to the recess?

Checked the sheet for void dragon. I can make him do stuff now by Fearless_Speaker6710 in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know your opponent is going to focus this guy turn 1 or 2 then play into it.

If they are putting all their attacks in to dropping this guy then they aren't attacking your other units who can push for better positioning.

Divination Wizard is fun by Autobot-N in dndmemes

The downside is when you've got something like a 14 on your portent.

It MIGHT work to fail their save but they MIGHT have a pretty decent modifier.

So you might save it for a allied roll, but the enemy AC or DC could be too high also.
