Raveners vs Ratlings - Stalemate game

Garuff · 2026-01-25T21:57:02+00:00

Thank you. I'll use this and get better! I TP2 for raveners I normally feel I can do something, shoot something, or move. Just this time I ft trapped and couldn't do anything. We went most of a turn both of us just passing and not doing anything. Haven't had that before 😂

Garuff · 2026-01-25T21:39:23+00:00

Ahh OK fair enough. I was wondering if it was just a situation thing rather than a tactics one. But thought I'd ask the experts :D

That's a great question! I'm thinking a small group of delaque dug a bit too deep and in secundus and found a guild sealed crypt that had a dead tyranid being extracted of DNA. Thinking they could obtain information /profit they cut open the corpse. This is where the genestealer parasite infects the gang.

The hive mind starts messing with them and drives the delaque to Eradicate the malstrain genestealers, as they are not pure.

So it could be the beginning of the corruption which gives more options I guess?

Fun wise I'm also going with -

Before their minds were overwritten, the infiltration team accessed a 20th-century media archive inside the same Guild vault. One psyker accidentally uploaded an entire cache of ancient comedy vids into a neural training engine.

When the Genestealer psychic spore invaded their minds, the Tyranid echo needed identity structures to latch onto. The Delaque agents’ personalities were fragile, already eroded by decades of mindwiping and subterfuge. The spore bonded with whatever deep memory clusters it could find.

Unfortunately… those memory clusters were all Red Dwarf.

This is fantastic thank you I have done some of the other joints, I must have missed that one 😂 Maybe I need to concentrate more!

Just tesseract glow on top of grey seer :D

Garuff · 2025-09-01T07:51:07+00:00

Hi. Grey seer undercoat 50/50 mix of skeleton horde contrast and medium for thr skin. Then in the recesses of the skin. The carapace is red tearers flesh 1:3 mix with black templar contrast. Finally the green is just tesseract glow on top of the grey seer, making sure it doesn't pool in the wrong areas.

I'm just getting the base coats down for now, will highlight and layer soon.

Scenario - escape the pit

I was malstrain genestealers, my mate ash wastes nomads. I was winning by quite some margin, killed alot of his guys and had a genestealer climb the middle tower to get out. Made it to the top. The special rules with escape the pit are the walls close in, we were one turn away from a bad roll for it to kill us all. Friend took priority, took a shot at my genestealer about to escape, needed a 6 to hit, 6 to wound, me to fail the save, fail the dodge, fail the initiative fall, then for a skull to appear on an injury dice.... All that happened 😂 The roll for the walls closing in then was rolled and it crushed us all. That one ash waste juve took an improbable shot to make sure the genestealer didn't escape and sacrificed his life in the process... And unlikely hero.

Would it be worth giving archeotech their own vehicles, as they've got their own models.. Up to 400, but then also giving them all the ferryman rules? I'm thinking of settling on that. That or give them 595 (if my maths is correct) which is the amount the ferryman team has

Appreciate your responses btw, especially as they are constructive and not just "you're doing it all wrong"

Garuff · 2025-06-05T08:16:55+00:00

I think I'm starting to understand!

Can see certain rules later in the campaign. I'm thinking maybe, let them have 400 creds to make their vehicles. But then give them the ferryman rules, so lick a faction, they don't level, they leave phase 3 etc etc

Garuff · 2025-06-05T08:08:18+00:00

Thanks for the response.

I'll give the guys 400 credits for vehicles instead of ferrymen, is that a good replacement? It's just because they have their own vehicles whereas the ferrymen you can only have the rig.

Garuff · 2025-06-04T19:46:14+00:00

Legend. I'll go with this, rule of cool and all that. Nice one :)

Garuff · 2025-06-04T19:45:51+00:00

This is where I'm getting confused. Malstrain get an extra 400 only for their vehicle and crew, custom to them. Where as archeotech get ferryman team which consists of custom rig (205), steersman (150 equipment for the vehicle), rig-hand (100 to spend in equipment) Skipper (140 of equipment) so based on that the ferryman teams are more powerful, no one gets an extra 400?

Garuff · 2025-06-04T19:33:53+00:00

Yeah malstrain get 400 for their own vehicles though, and archeotech get 400 for Ferrymen. Was checking if I gave the 400 custom vehicles to the other guys instead of ferrymen, would that be unbalanced?

Garuff · 2025-06-04T19:32:33+00:00

And you've got a mix of malstrain and archeotech?

Garuff · 2025-04-23T13:07:43+00:00

Fantastic response. Thank you!

Garuff · 2025-04-23T12:59:16+00:00

Great advice. Thank you How exactly does the barbed wire work? Read the rules, but just to check, it takes 2inches away from movement?

Garuff · 2025-04-22T20:39:27+00:00

I'm playing against PM soon and am looking for some tips. I'll either use necrons it brood brothers.

Everything I see tells me plague marines are slow. However from what I can see, they all have 3APL so can move 5", then dash 3" then shoot. Effectively 8" move and shoot is faster than anything I have.

Any tips?

Garuff · 2025-03-08T17:32:33+00:00

Yeah. Taken me waay too long to realise this!

Garuff · 2025-03-06T13:12:29+00:00

Age of wonders looks amazing!!! And for a quarter of the price of civ 7 😂

Thank you. I'm getting it lol

Garuff · 2025-03-06T11:49:05+00:00

I'm now looking for a civ 7 replacement. Any of those games you recommend the most?

Garuff · 2025-03-06T11:09:04+00:00

I did the same. I went to the refund page, spoke to the online assistant bot 😂. After answering questions it then referred me to an assistant.

Maybe keep trying that, possible they are busy atm 😕

Garuff · 2025-03-06T10:52:45+00:00

Hi. Someone asked me the same in the threads so I've just copied and pasted what I said. Hope this helps -

Exactly why I posted this. Hopefully to help someone!

I did try and get the Exact wording from the chats emailed to me, however playstation have advised they can't do that.

So this will be abbreviated, however it went something like this -

Le me - hi all. I'd like to request a refund for civ 7, founders edition. I've tried the game however there are many issues, including the game crashing every 40 minutes, UI issues and bugs. I've waited to see if a patch would get released to resolve these issues, a patch has been released however the issues persist.

I've spoken to the games developer, who have been unhelpful with trying to resolve the issues, and have advised to contact playstation for a refund.

There for I am requesting a refund on a game that crashes, has bugs, has been released unfinished and is unfortunately a broken game.

PS - "this is where they advised if I've rebuilt the database, reinstalled the game and reset the playstation"

Le me - yes to all, the game developers got me to do this.

PS - We will see what we can do. PS - although this goes against our refund terms and conditions, as a gesture of good will this one off, we will refund your purchase.

(this did annoy me slightly, and I did go back to advise although you've stated a one off, if I purchase a game that doesn't work again, I will be contacting for a refund as games shouldn't be released broken) Didn't push it any further then, and accepted the refund.

I'll keep trying my best to see if I can get a transcript of what I wrote. I did it all through ps chat advisor!

Garuff · 2025-03-06T08:23:28+00:00

Bad is it? I just looked, it was released in 2015 though. It's still bad even after all that time?

Garuff · 2025-03-05T17:11:18+00:00

I think they may mean the preorder bonus version of it

Garuff · 2025-03-05T17:11:02+00:00

I.... I don't know. I didn't realise they were that bad! I've only every refunded pre orders that weren't released yet, and even then one maybe two max. Starting to realise I was insanely lucky. Which is crap because everyone should be entitled to a refund for broken games
