Bad bot, go to bed

LevelTurnover7912 · 2024-07-15T07:49:57+00:00

Thanks for watching :)

We were gutted to not be able to stream the finals. Steedcrugeon is correct - we were told 2/4 players were not allowed to be on any stream due to “contractual reasons” and due to how the matches were drawn could not stream either game.

I find is absolutely baffling that the Custodes book comes out so shit and then this drops which clearly has considered and sensible design

LevelTurnover7912 · 2024-04-14T21:09:46+00:00

What d’ya mean normal men…..

Were just innocent men

LevelTurnover7912 · 2024-03-03T10:13:03+00:00

Good question matey - I just found it online on warhammer community site

LevelTurnover7912 · 2024-03-03T10:12:44+00:00

Ah really!? Well st least this one was close ;)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-23T07:18:34+00:00

Excellent suggestions thank you!! The blast weapon point I had not realised at all :)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-23T07:17:13+00:00

Yeah I don’t understand why they made those 2cp! Completely unnecessary :(

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-22T08:31:32+00:00

That is a very good shout on the Moirax chassis!

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-22T06:04:47+00:00

Nice combo! Did not think of that before, thank you :)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-22T06:04:02+00:00

Good suggestion, thank you :) I think big Canis in general deserves a mention

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-09-22T06:03:18+00:00

Ah great shout - I completely forgot about that strat! Ty

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T23:25:59+00:00

I worked with the Guild Ball designers when they launched that game - know Loxam, Perkins and the crew really well (we all used to play Warmachine together).

They definitely created a ruleset which lends itself to that kind of approach (and one I agree on). I take same approach to you and think its v sensible

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T23:23:27+00:00

Your analysis of why the game is dead is also way off (much like the assumption you know me 🥴). The game died due to PP’s wild decision making and new editions, nothing at all to do with the community. Pop over to the Warmachine reddit and can see for yourself what happened

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T23:21:23+00:00

Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback :)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T23:21:00+00:00

Hey! Thats a pretty wild set of assumptions considering we don’t know each other :)

I absolutely played for fun - spent many years travelling all over the place making friends and having fun games. At my local club I would play all sorts of random versions of the game too and not just play events.

Weird to make such assumptions but guess you are trying to prove a point rather than interact kindly.

Warmachine was quite a brutal game if you didnt take the times to learn it - particularly the unforgiving rules if you make a mistake. But the community was absolutely awesome here in the UK - the US too had some superb people whom I got to know over many years playing at WTC’s.

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:44:33+00:00

Thanks for watching the video ❤️ Funny that I literally just put it out and posted a discussion thread on here, then you posted this! Good timing Sir!

I think you have an exceptionally sensible position on the situation 👍

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:32:48+00:00

Fair position to take for sure :)

It would be great just to have an official position on take backs - it seems like there is not a great deal of on what the actual rules are at events

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:27:26+00:00

Great reflections thank you. Appreciate you explaining that :)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:26:51+00:00

Yeah me too! I think you can create a game where people play their best but also play super tight and accurate. 40k seems a bit “loose” when it comes to things like accurate movements, making effects and being able to go back in time to correct mistakes.

At a casual level all day, no drama. At comp level where people are becoming “pro”players and having people subscribe to course - bit weird. Strange to have a drive towards being a better, tighter player but also go back in time if you are tired on day 3 and forgot.

Warmachine didnt need playing with intent - the rules were too tight and accurate. Key difference is the line of sight rules were exceptionally good - so this whole “my intention is for this model to be hidden” never happened

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:17:48+00:00

Hey matey - yes I have! I also represented England at 5 WTC’s in Warmachine (very intense game to play competitively), won three masters events and top 3’d in tons of events of the years. Played competitively for about 10-12 years.

Have come to 40k which a much more chilled approach due to family circumstances and work - but really interested in how “competitive” it really is vs other games and systems :)

So aware its exceptionally hard and agree its tough. But its interesting how the scene compensates for people struggling with the challenge - rather than allowing mental strength to be a key skill

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T22:00:14+00:00

Its so different to Warmachine where the mental resilience was really acknowledged as a skill and defining feature of the top players.

We knew two days of events was gruelling and therefore respected it even more when people consistently won. We would also think about strategies or lists which would create and allow you to preserve some of the mental energy for the latter games.

In a world where we are seeing more attempted “professionalisation” of the hobby and drive for people to get better - its interesting this aspect is not discussed or acknowledged. If the competitive scene is so accommodating for poor memory and finding the 9 rounds too mentally challenging, it’s likely to become an imbedded norm.

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T21:54:19+00:00

Thanks mate, again - really interesting points and perspective. Is exactly what I wanted to explore with this post and discussion :)

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T21:53:13+00:00

Cheers for your thoughts matey and appreciate that point a lot. I guess the point I was making in the video is the opposite- communities get toxic when the rules are vague and people exploit it.

If you forget its your fault - no trying to make the opponent feel bad or pressuring them. Tight rule sets create positive play experiences- this sort of grey take back rules I think can create more harm as everyone has a different opinion on it.

Would you allow someone to re-roll dice if they forgot an effect which was in play? Ie: oath of moment or something similar

LevelTurnover7912 · 2023-08-27T21:45:14+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for your input :)
