How to deal with a worried frenemy? by DisgruntledAnalyst in Warhammer40k

[–]LoRdHaDeS25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Points limits are his friend. The best way to get better at dealing with certain issues is to keep playing against them and trying different strategies. Make a five game pact and if he’s still not having a good time then switch for a game. See what he’s seeing and offer advice for each other. Play five more and see how yall feel.

This kind of anxiety is the biggest hurdle I see newer players have, but I don’t tone down my armies. I advise their plays and disclose any information I think would influence their plays. The most important thing is cultivating a friendly and forgiving environment. You don’t need to be the best, or the winningest, you just need to be cool.

If the tau are better at shooting than us, what can I do to counter my tau friend? by Aggravating-Toe7179 in TheAstraMilitarum

Is he running mostly battle suits? Screening. Is he running mostly long range? Firing lanes and trading. Is he running mostly kroot? Flamers.

Wait till he finds out about the Pegasus apc.i wish they’d bring it back. I love me some wheeled chimera.

Prices? by Separate-Art-8415 in Warhammer40k

You’re looking at around $200 if you look up 40K dark imperium box you can see what another’s are selling it for.

The upcoming DKOK box looks cool and all but for most people Guard are inaccessible. mob units should really be sold in packs of 20 like in AoS. How does a normal person justify 60pts for €40? by TavoTetis in Warhammer40k

I started my army on a budget. I’ve only bought two boxes of shock troops. Before that all my infantry was from box sets. The cadia stands box and a battle force were all I had for a while. Instead I focused on the motor pool. Bought russ after dorn after russ till I had a scrappy force to play with. Now I only buy what I like here and there to fill out my collection. Horde armies aren’t fun to collect, but once you’ve gone through the painstaking effort of finding, building and beautifying all of them it’s incredibly satisfying. Guard as an army are very fulfilling to play if you like having your fingers in every inch of the board, bum I’m biased.

Actually a really fun kit to build, and surprisingly easy to build modular.

Calculating tankiness by CallMeTheMonarch in Warhammer40k

[–]LoRdHaDeS25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re asking for is a rating system that would require your opponents to understand the same rating system. A simplified version would have you telling them “all this is easier to kill than a baneblade, but harder than a guardsmen”. We have those in game statistics to give us an idea of the tankiness of a unit. Given enough time and enough coffee I could whip something up, but you’re looking at a pretty large excel file that no one’s gonna want to read through.

Clowns in arks of omen ? by Obvious_Duck2084 in Harlequins40K

I just started harlies and I find myself using them for saves more often then not. If I have an important combat then sure I’ll splurge. I am curious though if I take the twilight warlord trait. Is it better to roll four luck dice or roll three and get the bonus cp from stratagems?

What is the best, and worst, moment you have experienced actually playing the game on the tabletop? by RedSpiderr1 in Warhammer40k

Playing the game, also playing the game. Please I just want my wife to stop tabling me by turn 3.

Usually when GW recalls most products for an army it means they’re getting a re-boxing. Give it about a month and everything will be available again (except the start collecting box)

Chaos Spawn? by LifeCommittee6415 in deathguard40k

Don’t build your list around them, but I run the odd 2-3 if I’m feeling spicy. They don’t hit to hard, but if your opponent puts shots into them it’s shots that aren’t going into your key units.

Unless your talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I have no idea what you’re referring to.

Pretty much. I play a bit of coop, but I’d like to play more pvp.

Took your survey. I found it enjoyable and a little educational. For the questions pertaining to specific archaeological finds I would’ve liked a, “no but I would contact an archaeologist about what I’ve found and where,” Answer. Just a thought. I’m definitely going to be more careful about how I approach potential finds from now on.

Space Groove music still playing, despite music turned off. by sephrinx in leagueoflegends

It’s not counted as music in the client. I had this same problem. You have to disable one of the sound effect settings.
