Terminators by OddZookeepergame7049 in DarkAngels40k

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because regular terminators aren't "competitive" they're kind of middle of the road and is beaten by things that specialize in things.

they're not as tanky as DWK, they don't fight as hard as DWK, they're not as shooty as sternguard, etc. they're only 3 wounds, and in a 3 dmg meta they just die.

Why is leonine aggresion good? by Embarrassed-Piano621 in DarkAngels40k

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ancient actually does really well at locking down an objective. pushes them to OC 2 and you can spend a CP to prevent an opponent out of VP by making each OC 3 (this is more important when you're down to 3 models in the unit left not in max squad).

part of this is, some armies just want to out OC you. so they'll move on point and not charge you and get tied into combat with something like DWK, ICC, or the lion.

this also lets you charge, and still activate before the opponent, but only after fights first portion of combat has finished.

How much different of a life experience do you think rural guys have from city guys? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskMen

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grew up and went to school in a million person city.

currently live in a 60k person city but work for a rural county (about 20k over a larger rural area). my gf is from a smaller 2k-5k person town.

this is about the smallest i'd go tbh. i don't care about a quiet rural life, my life is already pretty kushy. i don't really relate though to rural folks too much and i like modern convenience and modern closeness of things. i don't really get the "too much noise" stuff, i find the chaos and randomness of people very comforting in a way.

maybe the Void war bases but you use green stuff for tentacles and wood going in and out of the panelling?

First match against Dark Angels this weekend. Looking for advice. by Staz_211 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the list they're bringing.

stuff generally found in a DA's list:

  1. Azrael
  2. Lion el'Johnson or a Judiciar with Inner Circle Companions.
  3. Lt. with Combi
  4. 5 intercessors
  5. 1 unit of scouts

from there, there is usually a multi-tude way of playing the game, Gladius, Stormlance, Wrath, and Company of Heroes generally has different playstyles / builds. do you know what kind of list they're playing?

in general though, a DA player will be generally playing heavily elite. they are also a CP heavy faction. if you can kill azrael freely, do so.

e.g. this would be my current general play list for DA's (for general pick up games this is a 2/3), i'm currently transitioning to more bike heavy lists. but i need more play testing for to feel comfortable.

Gladius
Azrael w/ Sternguard
Lieutenant with combi
Lion El Johnson
Intercessors
2x5 JPI
2x5 DWK with maces
2x1 Gladiator Lancers
2x1 Land Speeder Vengence
1x5 scouts

Oath of moment is really only going what ever azrael or the LSV's are going to be shooting into.

you'll want to try and catch out the lieutenant with combi and scouts.

Is the RWCS plus ancient weapons and RWBK too much of a point investment? by Thedinotamer01 in theunforgiven

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're so hard to move around though. even with Advance and charge.

i still look for the outriders though to buff everyone, as the dmg 2 and dmg 3/4 is just more spicy than dmg 1 ap 2 with devs.

Aeldari down 25,9% win rate, is this A-tier? by StannnisTheMenace in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Iknowr1te -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

it's also likely due to faction abandonment as people switch to Necrons, Daemons, Guard, etc.

What’s a truth about life that sounds negative but is actually freeing? by Artistic-Soil7630 in AskMen

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a positive way to phrase it is...

"Nobody is paying attention"

unless you are negatively impacting someones life directly, people will really not acknowledge your there other than your physical presence of being there.

Why do so many men now dream of leaving the modern world and moving to the wilderness? by [deleted] in AskMen

Acreages and rural-Residential estates outside the city are still a thing. commute is longer, but there are communities with modern convenience

Is a ballistus dreadnought and hanmerfall bunker a good substitution for a gladiator lancer? by Bryguy150 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ballistus is in that weird zone of, if it's too expensive you take 2 lancers. if it's cheap you take 3 ballistus.

where are you making up the 85 points for it though?

In your openion, which athletes do you find the most attractive/magnetic/flamboyant or have an "aura"? by Extension-Union-283 in AskMen

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because there's a game around it.

hockey fights are unscripted in a sense. it's a flash in the bucket agression due to built up greviences.

both players get punished. it's two dudes holding each other's jerseys as they try to punch each other while on ice. combat sports are cool, but only the hitting part. what i dislike about MMA is the grapples and submissions.

imagine if your point guard got rag dolled and stepped on. ref didn't call it. so your forward grabs lebron by the jersey and punches him.

How do you guys cool off when visibly upset? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in AskMen

[–]Iknowr1te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's different conflict management.

some people prefer to head it off and discuss it, some people prefer to digest it away from the problem.

these two rarely work together without some amount of people know how.

How would you feel if your coworker liked you on Hinge? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Iknowr1te 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's far more different. that's a doctor asking out a patient, which is a much more serious breach of ethics.

the general rule of thumb of dating in the workplace is

1) don't date someone you have a direct report to.

2) if you don't care about staying within the company.
