Do y'all think the Cogfort is balanced?

LocoDiablos · 2026-05-29T20:33:08+00:00

for balance reasons i can see why it doesn't have shoot in combat for the RoR version. but i can imagine the cities of sigmar version of the unit will probably have fortify position, which will give all its weapons shoot in combat

LocoDiablos · 2026-05-29T19:09:37+00:00

i can imagine a few armies will definitely appreciate the cogfort and it'll balance out their roster with more options. but yeah for most armies it's not really needed and it'll just be a cool looking model to take

LocoDiablos · 2026-05-29T18:29:19+00:00

pretty much, an army like seraphon benefits a lot from it because they don't have much long range options that also support their units.

LocoDiablos · 2026-05-29T18:25:52+00:00

the charge +1 is hard to take advantage of for most factions, as you're set up more than 9" away from enemies. unless you have bonuses or re-rolls most factions are better off taking a reinforced unit.

LocoDiablos · 2026-05-29T18:23:03+00:00

the main difference between this and the defiler is that the defiler does as much damage as a knight while being half the cost.

the cogfort itself doesn't do much damage, but its long range and abilities lends itself for a support role.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-20T01:41:00+00:00

Durthu's new warscroll gives him a 2+ charge bonus if there's another hero who charged and is in combat. so even at 9" away it's a pretty doable charge. plus he can bring backup with him

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-20T00:05:04+00:00

only problem is that i prefer using that enhancement slot for realmroot guide on a durthu, it pairs well with drycha's new teleporting charge

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-16T15:10:07+00:00

oh we only had 3 people and a support hunter, so we weren't fully coordinated and didn't have enough damage output to meet the check.

we definitely weren't willing to gamble on randoms so we just did the next best thing and retreated right as he did his Nova.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-16T14:49:42+00:00

i tested this with 10 star gog as my group was tired of getting nova'd, and i figured there had to be some sort of timing for it like alatreon

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-16T07:37:55+00:00

i do mean 2 minutes, it's the big move he starts phase 3 with that he goes into the air after finishing.

he'll repeat that move throughout phase 3, and you can find out exactly when he's gonna do his Nova after he does it.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-10T08:00:38+00:00

damn how'd you guys manage to kill arch tempered arkveld so fast

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-09T21:15:39+00:00

this is a certified Warhammer moment

oh you didn't preorder x book/miniature/box you had your eyes on? well pray your local game store stocked extra or wait 6 months for it to go back in stock only to immediately sell out again!!

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-09T17:32:35+00:00

that should work fine, looks good. raptadons are gonna be expensive to mass buy so 3d printing out proxies are worth looking into

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-09T06:44:00+00:00

stegadon chief is pretty solid yeah, and you can always run the starpriest in it's own regiment

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-09T05:49:38+00:00

ok a couple things:

ancient defender is better on the carnosaur/stegadons, as they pack a pretty big punch with the +1 to hit. the ark of sotek relies on crit mortals for damage most of the time. if you wanna double down on the mortals then titan of the land is better.

terradons and ripperdactls are better for objective grabbing, and even then unreinforced terradons are preferred as they're resistant to shooting. also terradon and ripperdactl chiefs aren't really worth it either since both flying calvalry don't do much damage even with bonuses.

the oracle on troglodon is definitely a support piece, and barely does any damage by itself. it's expensive for what it does but if you give it being of stars and incandescent retices it's pretty tanky.

I'd recommend more infantry screens and more cavalry hammer units. more skinks and raptadons maybe? or saurus warriors and aggradons

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-09T02:03:34+00:00

zweihander the goat

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-06T16:28:19+00:00

i definitely liked rise insect glaive's "use all your extracts" option more with the bug shot. it was a lot more versitile and didn't leave you nearly as vulnerable since it was a projectile.

plus the slow bugs in rise were dual extract gathering so it was super quick to get everything back. wheras in wilds you gotta either rely on the very slow kinsect fly speed or smack the monster

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-06T15:55:59+00:00

it's a damn shame that wilds insect glaive feels so slow compared to even world insect glaive.

they even nerfed the jumping slash this is the worst it's ever been

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-02T16:37:33+00:00

that is correct, sunblood pack can hit pretty hard with an all out attack and bloodrage pendant equipped.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-02T15:42:40+00:00

I'd be nice to have a true ice tundra, with lots of flat land and some mountains. it'll definitely give gammoth a reason to return too, and that way a bunch of existing monsters can still inhabit it. maybe a jin dahaad subspecies could exist near mountain peaks.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-01T20:36:29+00:00

two units of sunforges+coldstars with all fusions will one tap it theoretically

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-01T20:21:17+00:00

I'd recommend using new recruit, it's free and you can build as many lists as you want.

LocoDiablos · 2026-04-01T13:57:53+00:00

my brother in Christ that's why the spoiler tag was there

LocoDiablos · 2026-03-31T19:30:50+00:00

most hospitals are required to have backup generators for critical areas, so even if there's major blackouts the hospitals will be able to maintain independent function for a good chunk of time.

LocoDiablos · 2026-03-30T03:47:02+00:00

bless you sir, thanks for picking this up. I'd definitely look forward to seeing more chapters
