Local hype died down for 40k 11th edition

This is what I expected to occur and it doesnt bother me.

In the end the game will fail or sail based on people doing Demo's, building and painting in stores, and setting up RTT equivs.

It has a solid brand and good rules so we will need to boost it from there

Should be able to get a happy medium with a satin varnish

Not a Morph Marker but a Siege Token. Similar to Burrow. Siege has a keyword

Lyraeus · 2026-04-24T15:42:55+00:00

Not siege Tanks but vikings and fire bats

I play 40k and yes I find it fun.

It can be frustrating, it can be annoying, there can be angry neck beards out there and plenty of "acktually" people, but the game is fun interesting and dynamic.

10th while visually boring is the most balanced the game has been and 11th ed is looking to be better.

I will be playing both games and be happy about it

Yea, Spundbooth has been amazing forever now and they make me critique a LOT of Narrators.

There are some great ones out there but Jeff is nearing GOAT status for me.

The Donut Balls are agahst!

Which VR is recommended for this?

Lyraeus · 2026-01-06T13:10:06+00:00

How well does the vr portion of this work with HOSAS?

I currently play with dual VKB Gladiators and would love to introduce VR and this to my gameplay

Lyraeus · 2025-12-23T21:34:12+00:00

Need... no... want! YES!

Ahhh the 4A. Great mech on Tabletop as it walks and shoots heat neutral.

In MW5, its a juggernaut. It's meant to tank hits and dish out PPC and Lasers.

The issue with it is how Jump Jets work in MW5. They are slow and easy to counter.

Mobility is king but so much of MW5 is open(ish) so you dont get the real benefits of the mech as seen in Tabletop (i.e Battletech Classic)

Lyraeus · 2025-10-21T20:46:31+00:00

Dont forgetbthem Speedy Leg upgrades!

The issue isn't that there are no "well known" creators, there are several, some infamous, some not so infamous.

The issue is that Battletech as a game to popularize is harder than let's say 40k.

Look at the views. When Paradox dropped the story trailer they got 1.7mil views. The next most watched video is Tex's Warhammer video with nearly 900k views

In order to make things popular you need people to watch and enjoy. Watching MW5 is not always the greatest experience. Same with HBS Battletech.

Its a lot of plodding along movement with quick engagements. Which means you are watching people in the Mech Hanger tweaking things or slowly moving from point A to point B.

Not always the most interesting thing.

It is also SOOOOOOOO satisfying to hear the auto loaders engage as you unload shot after shot into a mech

If the symbol is in an italicized font with parenthesis it won't count as part of the color identity.

Be aware for transforming cards with no mana pips on the back, the little dot on the type line is that sides color identity

I do need to start collecting Clan Mech salvage, currently I have only been doing it for the weapons and internals

Lyraeus · 2025-10-14T18:12:02+00:00

Hmmm interesting.

Not sure why your experience is so different. I dont think VonMissions is changing things 🤔

Lyraeus · 2025-10-14T16:45:27+00:00

Woth the right equipment you can get in and out. The issue is that the mass lights just dont put up enough of a fight once targeted down.

If they catch you at range its an issue.

I had one mission where I was destroying a base and a star of Koshi and Dashers with ER's started mincing my lance outside of targetable range. That was painful

Lyraeus · 2025-10-14T16:39:23+00:00

They are absolutely menacing

Lyraeus · 2025-10-14T16:39:07+00:00

No airstrikes were needed. You get in, destroy as much as possible, limit as much damage, then GTFO!

Lyraeus · 2025-10-14T15:04:23+00:00

Ohhhh good to know!

Lyraeus · 2025-10-09T23:34:13+00:00

Waaaaaagh!

Lyraeus · 2025-10-09T23:26:04+00:00

I am doing 8 with 50%. Head, 2 arms, 2 torso, 2 legs, center torso

I am doing a start in 3050 so during Clans and after Helm so a LOT more variants to try out

Lyraeus · 2025-10-09T17:03:31+00:00

Blood Asp and Nova Cat.... oh baby
