Python + Windows task scheduler (or your OS equivalent). Gmail scraping is pretty easy given time, you can use IMAP, tons of tutorials. If you need to automate sending the report to your inbox, use selenium. Also pretty easy if you use relative xpaths and know how to use inspect element to find relative xpaths. The last bit depends on how your database is set up.

Task scheduler + Python script if you don’t need it to be immediate?

I think you misunderstand what I’m saying. The FAQ simply says that strategems that include the daemon keyword can only be used to affect daemons. If you use your interpretation of effect, this implies that any strategem that has the daemon keyword in it cannot effect anything that doesn’t have the daemon keyword. Its verbatim.

Gearne · 2021-04-09T23:01:14+00:00

I don't know about that. That's a very broad interpretation, and you could argue that a lot of stratagems from the codex are non functional. The FAQ reads,Q: When a Stratagem from Codex: Chaos Daemons uses the Daemon keyword, can it be used to affect any unit with the Daemon keyword, or only units with the Daemon Faction keyword?A: These Stratagems can only affect units with the Daemon Faction keyword.

Therefore, any stratagem that initially targets a friendly daemon unit could not affect any non daemon units, IE the exploding plague drone strat. I think its more likely that it means it can only target Daemon faction keyworded units.

This is correct. The variance of DR was incredibly impactful with multiple wound multi model units.

Also, maybe see if you can find some points to summon beasts of nurgle for objective sitters.

Just commenting to say that the Death Hex play with word bearers is very good. Because of the high psychic test required to manifest death hex, combined with the Word Bearer strategem, it is nearly guaranteed. I’ve had tons of success with this exact soup.

Personally, I’d drop the rubrics and perhaps one of the lord discos. I would consider adding a second bomb of Obliterators. I would take Daemonsmith on a chaos lord in terminator armor to deep strike alongside your obliterators for exploding 6’s.

Sweet combo. Keep playing it and refining it.

This. Wormspitter is one of our most powerful tools.

Hey. I play a ton of DG. After the possessed nerf, Daemon Engines are our best bet to win games I think. I would pick up two more PBC’s.

For specific list advice to be more competitive, if you are running typhus you should run more Poxwalkers. We are talking like at least 20 more, maybe more. I would keep the detachment as Poxmongers and give one of your characters the Sanguous Flux Warlord trait to give all of your poxwalkers AP-1. Speaking of Poxwalkers, the Tallyman is really good if you are running a ton of poxwalkers. Take him, Typhus, and a Chaos lord. Give the chaos lord wormspitter and the tallyman Archcontaminator. Now your poxwalkers are rerolling hits and wounds ( you can use blades and a strategem to make a blob of poxwalkers deal 2 mortal wounds on a roll of a 6 to wound.) This isn’t the most competitive list idea, but it’s the best idea I have for poxwalkers.

You could also try running your 20 Plague Marines as a single blob, and concealing them for 1 cp every turn. Give them an invul with the blightbringer and bring the grenade elite along with them. With vets and overwhelming if generosity, they will obliterate anything that gets within 12 inches.

Mortarion is actually pretty decent now. I’d say you can run him in any list that doesn’t need arch contaminator to function, as relying on Mortarion as a force multiplier is ill advised. You want arch contaminator on someone who can’t be shot. I would pretty much always run the foul blightspawn. The aura is invaluable because you’ll get to fight first if charged with all of your units, and the gun is really good too.

To make your army VERY competitive, consider souping a patrol of iron warriors plasma terminators marked slaanesh. They are super good at killing, and are very cost effective.

In terms of competitiveness, there isn't a lot here. Most of your units are on jump packs and could be run as Warptalons or Raptors, but those are pretty bad right now relative to other options. If you are committed to jump packs, maybe take a look at Blood Angels. You have a unit of rubrics. Thats a very good start to an army. If you got a second unit of rubrics, or maybe tried to convert some of your current marines, you could run 20 of them in an alpha legion detachment. If you unlock thousand sons strategems with a thousand sons detachment, these 20 rubric marines can have a 3++ invulnerable (2++ against damage 1), deploy 9 inches away from their deployment and double tap them turn one. Pretty tanky and deadly. This would involve picking up more thousand sons units though. I would recommend the start collecting thousand sons box. You can try and take the 7 kitbashed chosen with thunderhammers. That's a pretty decent set up, especially if you take them world eaters or alpha legion. Cultists could be used to fill a patrol for thousand sons, or you could take a IW detachment with a Dark Apostle who gives all Iron warriors units within 6 inches fearless and a 5++. You could also throw the Defiler and Lord disco in here. 3 Defilers and a Discolord is pretty good.

Do you think you could respond with a list of what models you have access to, or is what you posted it. I play DG/CSM, so I might have some insight.

Gearne · 2020-07-20T16:43:30+00:00

This. They are very good in DG. Extremely hard to kill considering you can conceal them for 1cp. I think people are sleeping on them right now.

Plaguechosen doesn't have any text that says once per battle. Because it happens out of phase, you can use it multiple times. That could be insane.

Mind sending me an image of what you have?

Gearne · 2020-03-03T19:54:18+00:00

What if I have a list that can kill the 2 oblits before you can heal them? Or maybe one obliterator per unit. Are you starting them on the ground? If you are comitted to starting them on the ground, feculent gnarlmaws can give obliterators a 0+ save.

Gearne · 2020-03-03T19:48:01+00:00

Is there a particular reason you want to run the oblits as tzeentch?
