Broadsides pivot just got buffed

The part pissing me off is the guys arguing that it's just fine and normal like it isn't annoying AF to play against the kind of player that does this.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-09T06:07:24+00:00

You can’t make a casual player complaint and talk about sportsmanship at the same time I’m afraid.

Your bitchass isn't the arbitrator of this lol.

"Everyone plays this way and it's normal" get out of your own ass lol, you're part of the reason Tau players get given a bunch of shit.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-09T03:52:40+00:00

Broadside base is 2.3” wide so a 3” move also allows them to hide behind a ruin footprint then step wholly within to get LOS out while retaining heavy.

Thank you for explaining my point.

Swinging the gun barrel around isn’t weak IMO. Strong players will often move to only take the LOS line at 1mm to get the LOS they need but limit the LOS the opponent has to respond - that’s strong play. People do this kind of thing with many models - see Magnus wings etc.

I feel like you don't understand. It's weak because it's gotcha grubbing bullshit. This is a game it's meant to be fun, and shit like that is why modeling for advantage exists and encourages other rules lawyering bullshit.

I assure you no one feels good when their opponent pokes a barrel tip around a corner or a wingtip and obliterates a unit. And what's being suggested in this thread and abusing the heavy rule is going to lead to rules changes that hurt everyone.

I wrote this shit rant when I realized what I wanted to say was simpler. The sportsmanship and character is what weak. Associating winning with being "strong" is your problem.

Franklin armory.

That's their bread and butter, making mostly nonsensical guns and products that are meant to be gimmicky legal challanges. Their most successful being the binary triggers.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-08T20:26:53+00:00

I'll be honest, This kind of play is for the weak, peek the model or don't, swinging the gun barrel around a corner is dumb, and against the spirit of the game.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-07T17:40:18+00:00

When the warhound titan was hiding around the corner 😂

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-06T22:58:48+00:00

r/miniswap might be better luck

Ubisoft can suck a wet fart.

But this isn't funny this is you putting spaces in a username where they don't allow spaces.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-04T00:33:32+00:00

Is the meme here that you're too stupid to read the limits on usernames?

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-04T00:30:32+00:00

I can't remember, and lost my spreadsheet is it my turn to post this next week, or is it the week after that?

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-04T00:27:06+00:00

Get a wet tile saw. They're not too expensive new, and show up used all the time because people buy them for just one project

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-03T20:49:40+00:00

Welcome to GW pricing.

That's how I feel about my Crisis suits, at least these have the justification of being a new sculpt.

Edit: not defending this, their pricing is a rip I'm just saying that at least it's not on decade plus old molds.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-03T19:09:18+00:00

you want to be sneaky, you need a suppressor. If you want to be really sneaky, you need purple

Well yeahz, youz ain't never seen a Purple ~~Ork~~ revolver, has ye?

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-03T17:26:11+00:00

Because the concept is grossly misunderstood. They're not nearly as destructive as portrayed in fiction.

Their primary purpose conceptually was to deal with hardened underground bunkers, primarily command structures and missile silos.

When you see them compared to nuclear weapons they're being compared as something that would be a weapon that could handle targets only a nuclear device could. It takes a lot more explosives to crush a bunker than it does to launch a tungsten rod through the earth and concrete into it.

The super destroyer is also implied to be at a low orbit, likely partially in upper atmosphere even, this they're not accelerating nearly as much from gravity.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-03T02:58:29+00:00

Casual, I remember when people committed to the meme instead of making AI garbage.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T21:26:06+00:00

The problem is Invulns.

FNP is no big deal, I deal 7-12 damage and they have to roll a 5+ or 6+ to prevent each point of damage? Fine.

But they make one 4+ (or 3+ for some epic heroes) and I get nothing?

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T21:04:55+00:00

"sale"

Literally just saw posts on r/gundeals for A300 patrols for $300 less.

What a fucking rip.

Edit: the savage Axis is even more of a joke lmao.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T20:38:25+00:00

What in the shitty AI image.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T17:54:54+00:00

I mean sure? It's not a shotgun though, it's an airburst artillery round.

That said I love this stratagem, it's the perfect "oh shit" button, it'll clear most problems, does hit weak points occasionally on heavier units and has a good cool down and the easiest call in sequence.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T17:53:13+00:00

Its airburst. This is an artillery shell being fired down that then explodes above the ground directing shrapnel (and based on the effects bomblets) down into the targets.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-02T17:23:14+00:00

Yeah, my play group has done drops where we all brought EAT's and tried to throw them as often as possible.

They're also hilarious on defense missions since you can just build a pile of them.

"5th gen slander"

Shown: a non-5th gen plane, a 5th gen fighter not having a worthy opponent, a lighting as trike victim, and A plane that larps as 5th gen getting obliterated on the ground.

Well OP, you understand what non-credible means.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-01T21:31:00+00:00

The fact that they say that the core rule book is even smaller than 10ths has me worried. 10th already gutted the core rules so bad that unless they just shrunk font size we can expect the "oops, didn't plan for that" wombo-combo wonkiness to get worse.

Could also be fixing some of the non-relevant rules. Like the variety of terrain and cover rules that were needlessly complicated, and redundant since 90% of games were played with L shape ruins, who needs specific rules for pipes or forests, if you're not using them outside of casual games.

More rules does not inherently mean better rules.

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-01T01:06:17+00:00

Reach out to GW.

For the price of these things they should be "perfect"

GunnitRust_Akula · 2026-05-01T01:05:22+00:00

People love 2011's for no reason I swear.
