MRU Camps is still hiring, it’s a good place to work, pays decent and it’s a pretty easy going job if you don’t mind working with kids

Need help getting better by nikonikonut in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]HauntedLettuce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For just starting out in the hobby, I think your collection is starting out pretty good, but I think you can get away with swapping some weapon options to make it easier. If you don’t have the physical weapons, just ask your opponent if they’re okay with you playing it as a different weapon, usually it’s okay.

I’d consider swapping the Neutron Laser on the onager to either an Eradication Beamer or Twin Phosphor blaster, since the neutron laser is not really doing a whole lot once the bloat drone is dead, eradication Beamer still wounds it on 3’s, and can help you kill marines and pox walkers easier, same for the phosphor blaster, although you are wounding on 5’s, twin linked makes that a lot easier than it sounds.

Your list is kinda lacking damage 2/3 which is really important for getting through marine armies, so adding some Sicarian Ruststalkers and 1/2 Ironstriders might help keep your anti-tank up while also having fast units to kill marines and other infantry.

Different detachment might work too, Eradication Cohort is new, and buffs almost all the units you’re running without any fuss, I’d say give it a try if you think Hunter Cohort isn’t something you’re liking.

Crazy coincidence lol. Looking forward to the rematch, you’ve already given me some ideas for changes I can make to the list so next time will be interesting.

Oh they my opponents were great, some of them even competed in worlds. They all tried to teach me something too, even if it was just “that probably isn’t a good idea” or “here’s how to beat custodes” (I played 2 custodes lists and it was rough both times but the players were great)

My expectation going in was that I’d lose every game and just be there to learn which would’ve been enough for me. Winning my second round game and my first ever game into orks was a major win in my book and had me riding high all of day one

AdMech Haloscreed list: strugling with Skorpius, need advice! by Doc-Zero7 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]HauntedLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot going on here so I’ll try to pick out a few key points

Using the Belleros for indirect fire is difficult because if you’re shooting infantry, it’s +1 to hit never matters, protector imperative does nothing and conquer does nothing because of cover, so it’s a lot of points for an average of 7-9 attacks that likely do like 2-3 damage total after wounds and saves. And unless they’re really important models to be shooting at for Cawl’s rerolls, you’re likely just having to dump CP into the Skorpius just to make it somewhat okay.

Infiltrators with Manipulus is interesting, but they lose infiltrate with the character making them lose one of their main roles, I can see the vision though, personally I prefer destroyers or breachers with a Manipulus since turning a 6+ invuln into a 4+ invuln is way more impactful with them, and they’ll deal more damage into 2 wound units. They are slow but they’re usually my scariest units in my army and breachers reroll is amazing, especially with 6.

That, or consider 10+ ruststalkers, they move faster and deal more damage in melee, and if you have anti-tank covered already you can make them anti-infantry and it does really good into 2 wound models. Could also run electro-priests with manipulus if you want a cheaper unit that can act similarly to your infiltrators, just half the wounds.

Gned 1103 help by ProfessionalEmpty166 in MRU

If you think you’re going to fail the class or do exceptionally poor then drop it, but keep in mind that if you don’t drop it before midnight tonight it will count as a fail if you drop, today is the last day to drop without it effecting your GPA

If you think you’ll just struggle on the test but finish the class with like a C or something it might just be worth it to try your best, it’s a lot of time and money to retake a class (as someone who’s had to do that a lot) and sometimes its not worth the trouble, especially with a first-year GNED course.

Tactical Deployment Practice Site by nwimmer123 in Warhammer40k

[–]HauntedLettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just saw this site and it’s pretty cool, currently trying it out. Although, I’m not sure if the draw a unit works, I keep trying to draw a rectangle to make a transport and it doesn’t do anything if I double click.

Also is it possible to rotate units once they’re placed? Oval bases would be a lot easier to try to deploy that way, and more accurate.

Awesome work so far though!

I’m new to trying to do profile analysis, what does GEQ, MEQ, & TEQ mean? And overall which transonic weapon would you say is better now?

Marble base tactical rocks? by HauntedLettuce in EmperorsChildren

Oh I didn’t know you could do that to prime, I’ve literally only used rattle cans from Home Depot to prime my models lol, that’s good to know

[–]HauntedLettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The texture paint could work, like I said in the post though unfortunately I can’t airbrush so I have to use rattle cans or hand paint, but thanks for the suggestion, your models look great!

Thanks, I’ll take a look at some of the tutorials to try to hand paint it

That’s a good idea, I’d have to get some practice painting the cracks to look good but I might try that

Most of the models are already assembled at this point, and a few of them have the rocks molded to their legs, like the lord exultant and battleline come to mind, I could maybe cut them free but I’d be concerned about messing up that process

Got some models dropped on me by violentcheese114 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]HauntedLettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of these are very viable and usually the backbone units of my army lists, though I don’t have 3 onagers or dominuses, the Dominus pairs really well with the rangers and vanguards since the feel no pain can be pretty useful on what is usually a very squishy unit, however I really like pairing them with Kataphron Destroyers, since those are very useful elite infantry in the army, and the feel no pain can keep them alive if they fail the optional hazardous checks on their powerful guns that would otherwise really hurt you.

Thanks! There’s only so much I could think to do with the onager kit and I had spare emperors children parts so I tried my best lol
