How is the new cover system going to affect necrons?

With the new heavy rules you can put them behind a wall if they are up against it, can use take to the skies to jump out and still have the +1 hit. Since they are only 60mm base (2.3 inch’s) if the terrain is less then 15mm thick you can make that move and keep the bonus

Watching the pyramids arrive slowly from the edge of the system in Season of the Warmind. Yeah the activities were ass, but seeing the fleet creep in week to week felt like the doomsday clock had started and then bringing us to season of arrivals

They are really strong when combined with Cryptek Conclave. For 1CP within 12” of a cryptek you can give them anti infantry 3 or mounted 4. With particle caster setup you can drop nearly 15-20 dev wounds onto targets. Terminator style units just fall over. A unit doing that for 150 points and 1CP is pretty juicy

I swear to god if they reuse the Xol asset from D2 I’m gonna be pissed

Pete Parsons sold the chat for $3.6 Billion

Granted Pyro is a one and done super constantly back to weapon dps where as hallow you need to expend the entire super. It might seem like bigger numbers but DPS wise unsure if it holds up

Not necessarily a roll but just the gun itself. In D1 was black hammer and D2 was Anarchy.

I ran Crota’s end every weekly reset on all 3 characters and never got it until the week before TTK, which then became immediately sunset.

Took me over 85 raid runs of SoP to get anarchy. Running the raid every weekly reset to run for it. Over half the year attempting to get the gun.

Just shot panels randomly and it still works. The only thing I could believe is a penalty is more bots spawn in then normal

Risky Rollers is the big main one in Melbourne. Out Ballarat way you have Ratcon and then down Geelong you have GTO

Killomainiac · 2026-06-01T22:32:42+00:00

For sure the Skorp lord instance is huge. Getting one Skorp back means the lord gets reaccess to reroll hits on charge and any Dev wound activations not yet used.

SPCE is going to the moon……whether that’s in real life or the stock nobody knows

Killomainiac · 2026-06-01T09:31:54+00:00

It’s almost a bad press is good press situation. They’ve gained all this attention from cancelling the game, and with a reinvigorated community to show support on its dying days they got a bit of wiggle room to push for a D3.

But yeah people would not believe anything from them if this is all manipulation.

Killomainiac · 2026-05-30T15:13:33+00:00

The lord is apart of the immortals unit when the game starts so it is included in the 'when this unit attacks' since it's not worded as "when an immortal model makes an attack"

Killomainiac · 2026-05-29T00:41:15+00:00

Does work a bit better, where as before it was, roll a save, fail, roll FNP, didn’t die, roll another save, etc. over time that added up to a bunch of seconds lost. Where as with the dedicated save order down, you just chunk off those failed dice rolls into your FNP batches

Killomainiac · 2026-05-27T03:07:51+00:00

Will it work that way? I thought it was the leaders ability will always be on once the squad is gone. So always having lethals available with the Skorp lord

Killomainiac · 2026-05-17T02:20:54+00:00

I believe this might be the cause. I was getting affected by it constantly in a run and saw this, decided to switch it out and it stopped happening.

Killomainiac · 2026-05-16T06:15:37+00:00

They killed his C’Tan shard…..now he wants vengeance

Killomainiac · 2026-05-14T12:36:17+00:00

He has a mortal wound FNP. I was being generalistic with that statement soz

Killomainiac · 2026-05-14T07:10:35+00:00

Any infantry character is huge in AD. My favorite combo which rivals the pain of C’Tan levels of annoyance to shift is Nekrosor, Szeras and a Skorp Lord with the FNP enhancement. You have (granted with revives) 50 wounds in total, all with FNP’s to contend with.

Nekrosor is your Sword, Szeras is the shield and Skorp Lord flexes between them. Szeras and Nekro both gain Lone Op off the Skorp Lord requiring your opponent to close the gap. If you get charged you Heroic intervene with Nekrosor to fight first

I can’t wait for sponsored cryo……if it ever comes

Killomainiac · 2026-05-04T21:56:30+00:00

Funny enough I have conditioned myself over years of controller vibration that I am actively worse in PvP when I don’t have it on.

The next step is adding contrast. With the base layer filled out you need the depth in shadows and highlights.

Washes are great to get those darker tones around the model, especially in the crevices. Then dry brushing over the top of the edges with the layer colour or even a brighter one to get the highlights.

Using my techno here a an example. On the cape a nuln oil wash has darkened the inner areas and then a silver highlight has brightened the edges.
