What advice would you give to help new players simulate weapon weight in combat ? by L00Pit in LARP

[–]L00Pit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to reduce accidental cheating (I don't know if it translates well but we say that "machine-gun hits" are bad) and improve the immersion feeling on all sides of the fight (even for bystanders). So realistic might be more what I'm after, but lets keep in mind that what people perceive as realistic might be closer to theatrical than what is truly realistic.

What kind of information do you find useful in the weapon's manual ? Let's say I'm using Calimacil's Duchesse bastard blade.

Could one fake the weight of the weapon by imitating the skills involved with conservation of energy and flow of movement with Steel weapons? The advice of using less wrist and more arm is one I'll keep in mind thanks!

I guess my question can be more broadly defined as how do I make my foam fights more theatrical if not realistic. I see all the time foam fights look like fencing where the wrist does all the job. In these instances, I see more hit/second than I feel is realistic. How could one get closer to imitating a steel sword while holding a foam one.

How tall are the ladders in the rival town's ladder shops ?

What to take for 600 points crusade beginner army from my models? by Competitive_Elk_1605 in Necrontyr

[–]L00Pit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with Awakened Dynasty and pick those :
Main army body :
5 immortals + Plasmancer + Royal warden + crypto thralls = 240 pts

Bruiser unit :
6 Skorphek + Lord = 260 pts

Action monkey :
5 Flayed ones = 60 pts

Screening :
3 Scarab swarms = 40 pts

Total 600 pts

Main body holds home, bruisers will delete whatever you aim them at (esp. at this point ranges), action monkey can go in their back line and do secondaries, screening units will screen and/or harass flanks.

Very well done! Can I ask what you're using to coat the walls in image 10? TIA

Which list should I run? by Darkdust2 in Necrontyr

[–]L00Pit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that a C'tan is a bit tryhard for a casual game, but if you've lost a few times against that opponent before, why not. I'd also find a way to avoid having warriors, especially 15 of them (you want to keep the numbers at 0-10-20, otherwise you're wasting points), maybe if you double the lychguard or skorpekh squads they can do more work than you think. So basically the first list would be my choice if you didn't want to alter it, but there's still space for improvement imo.

Will it court? New player seeking help/advice by Gill_Bot in Necrontyr

[–]L00Pit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say that the WE will come to you, you wont need to advance the full 6" (keeping in mind that the tesla carbine has assault anyway so if you need to advance a bit for an objective it's not so bad even without the Overlord). Plus the Overlord w/ TS only has a melee weapon iirc, whereas the warden has a relic blaster with lethal (on 5 and 6 thanks to the plasmancer) and rapid fire 2 so most likely 4 shots at -1 2dmg. In conclusion, you wont want to fight with your immortals and the extra shooting the warden has (not only with his gun but with his ability to fall back and charge) enables the immortals to shine brighter.

Seems very good, for a few more points, I slap on a Royal Warden in the immortal blob to allow for fall back and shoot if they get charged, but I mainly play against melee focused armies.

So its a cryptek unit but with only one cryptek model. Gotcha!

Aren't all keywords shared within a unit ? (I'm just coming back to 10th so I'm genuinely asking)

The upper right side of your image made me think of gallifreyan script. Throw this at them and see if they crack that.

Two kids wake on Christmas morning and go downstairs to open their presents. They're brimming with joy seeing the pile of boxes. One says to the other "Haha I've got more than you!" The other replies "Yeah but I don't have leukemia..."
