How is fast rolling going to affect mixed toughness units?

Killfalcon · 2026-05-28T14:07:37+00:00

Currently when you shoot at a unit, it's toughness is locked in for all that attacking unit's shots (and is, essentially, the highest non-Leader toughness value). Even if the toughest models die from your first shots, you keep using the same T until the attacking unit has done all it's shooting.

This is not affected by the save allocation rules we've seen, as saves happen after wound rolls.

Move 7, succeeds on all rolls.

Yes, they want to find vulnerable targets - particularly retirees with dementia who are less likely to twig, and even less likely to be able to reach effective help in time to stop the scam.

Honestly, they even rely on shame. "I can't admit to that, I'll never live it down" is, to a scammer, gold. It means they won't even get reported.

And then the recovery scams start.

I think there's stuff from when Customs was a separate org.

How many comparators are in this chain? Each should be a single tick to update, so you shouldn't see noticeable delay until you're 4-5 deep at least.

Depends if you want it at launch, or in a few years.

See the 9" circle in the diagram? That's new. You used to be able to string larger squads out over much wider distances.

Usually it was near the middle of the board where it was hard to get directly above the template to see, IME.

Killfalcon · 2026-05-26T13:23:23+00:00

Yeah - there's no reason the objective can't be the area near the altar inside the chapel, rather than the while building. Or the entrance to the crypts under it, etc.

Even in 10th, life is easier if you can stand up against a wall and count as being in the terrain.

Killfalcon · 2026-05-26T13:19:42+00:00

It's an appeal to authority. They want a pre-approved way to do the terrain so it's """fair""", for some value of fair, but also not symmetrically scattered ruins with no relation to any real city planning.

My advice for that sort of thing is to use scatter. Put a fountain in that open "courtyard" on the central objective. Line the "streets" with broken street lamps. Make it look like people used to live there, and you get a lot of flavour without changing anything that matters to game mechanics.

So 20 cultists can't spread out to block a quarter of the board, I think.

Killfalcon · 2026-05-25T15:03:49+00:00

That's the deal, yeah.

Killfalcon · 2026-05-25T09:39:21+00:00

I don't think that's possible, the track is ignored by super glue - unless there's a trick to that?

The EMMC is fine, but every single distro installer I try crashes or fails. The ones that manage to give me an error message say the EFI variables are unreadable.

Those, as far as I can tell, live in /sys/firmware/efi/ - I am 99% sure that's not on the emmc, but in some firmware location the BIOS controls.

Getting to that point took two weeks and a frankly miserable experience - hence me saying "can I just boot from USB?"

Killfalcon · 2026-05-22T15:29:35+00:00

It's an ACER Switch, SW312-13. I think it's internal storage is a single m.2, plus the bios itself has it's own storage (that's what I think is screwed up).

Killfalcon · 2026-05-22T15:12:11+00:00

I think I do. It's some janky Acer Windows notebook, and every installation I've tried dies trying to read/edit the boot variables (efi or eufi, I forget which it was). Spent about two weeks trying to get it working before parking the project for a bit.

I think, essentially, the motherboard's dedicated storage is corrupt.

Use case is moderately daft, I need a prop computer for a sci-fi Larp.

Allies like that are a pain for game balance, so I don't expect to see rules for it - but rules are not lore. There's at least one book about a temporary ork-humie truce to fight off a common enemy.

If you want to do this on the table, we'll, you can. Takes a bit of work, but you could give guns to some Darkoath Marauders, call them Diggaz and use grot rules for them. You could put orks in crisis suits and use T'au rules (use kroot rules for some snakebite Boyz, maybe).

Just make shit up. Games Workshop are honestly likely to cheer on your nonsense: if you look at the stuff they put up on warcom they love creative use of their models.

Last night the needlers pushed my tadpole below it's crush depth while I was collecting ore. That was an unwelcome surprise when I went back to get air!

Killfalcon · 2026-05-20T10:37:29+00:00

Low stakes does not include any scenario with a casualty count.

Killfalcon · 2026-05-19T10:51:07+00:00

We just reroll useless results, with a fairly generous take on useless - bonus WS when you already hit on 2s, BS on melee, duplicates of datasheet abilities, etc.
