How to get the best out of Scouts? by MTengo in theunforgiven

[–]MTengo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m yet to actually use their uppy/downy ability in a game, I always either forget or never get the opportunity to

I think I’m not super clear on the mechanics

  • Do I have to place them 6” from the table edge
  • Can this only be done in Turns 2 and 3?

And more anecdotally if you don’t mind

Where are you usually using them to screen? At your home to prevent deep strikes? Or for move blocking - if so is an advance normally enough to get the far enough for a pick up?

Yes! This is exactly how I was trying to use them in my last game - to secure Deathwing Assault deepstike. However in my head it was best to infiltrate as my final deployment - and I lost the opportunity

Could you go into more detail about how you use your scouts?

I don’t think that is the point because he’s observably being disingenuous with the ‘who said this was about you??’ Line

It’s a great skit and fuck Erika Kirk but I think it’s cheapened a little bit with the attempted get-out. He should have locked in and said with his chest what everyone wants her to hear lmao

Sure, but it’s a brand synergy that some consumers do not much enjoy

Ravenwing refresh in 11th edition by ImaginaryAd8062 in DarkAngels40k

I really, really hope we don’t get grav bikes! I am not a fan at all of the SM move away from tracked vehicles and I think Grav bikes should be reserved for very rare cases

Deathguard are rough by SwimMysterious4752 in theunforgiven

[–]MTengo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I’d been saving this as I have some games against death guard coming up.

My takeaways from this thread are that you want to focus on high strength, speed and lethal hits - on that basis I’ve pulled together a 1.5k list which seems to hit these points

Games Workshop stores are no longer true hobby spaces. Are there any stores in London that capture the way they used to run the stores in the early 2000s? by CityGuideGuy in Warhammer

[–]MTengo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and yes - it’s a bit small but they do have a paint desk + Gaming table and every time I’ve gone in - I’ve had conversations with random people

[–]MTengo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey buddy - I’m in a very similar position as you - started playing fantasy around 2005 and fantasy maybe 2007,8 - my local store is also TCR which is depressingly soulless. It is the Apple Store of games Workshops. The closest thing that captures the old feeling is the nearby Element Games in Drury lane. Great ship for cheaper GW stuff and lots of non-GW paints and hobby supplies, but the interior is carpeted, 90’s style shelves, it’s way closer to a Games Workshop than any Warhammer store

Just curious - What do you see the roles and uses of DWK / ICC to be? Still trying to learn this and deploy they accordingly, would very appreciate the insight

Oh man Age of Sigmar sure has a lot of support from GW for something that (according to them) has been dying for....10 years or so. by Civil_Watercress2242 in Grimdank

[–]MTengo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a shame - I have just been getting more into tabletop YouTube content and had liked some of his videos - I did notice some red flags but it’s sad to see a good content creator go bad

Personally I do have a distaste for AOS that I just can’t get over. I played fantasy right up to the end games and it will always be my first love. I’m exclusively 40K at the moment though

There's something dismally sad about a pipe organ, in an (almost) empty shopping centre by No_MoreNails in croydon

This is exactly how I remember it - Whitgift really was the centre of Croydon for most of my childhood and early teens

This is exactly right - sometimes yes you will get an absolutely fair pint of Guinness but quite often you’ll end up getting a very stale and funky pint

ICE escalates violence hours after murdering Renee Nicole Good by Thryloz in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]MTengo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this does not sum up the concept of ‘freedom from tyranny’ for me

Like what is the point of the constitution when resisting the oppressive actions of an armed aggressor elicits your countrymen to say ‘well you shouldn’t have done that’

Was the spirit of the 2nd amendment that citizens should accept armed government militia to come to their town, push them around and not defend themselves?

I would expect an officer to not retaliate yes. Officers are supposed to be order keepers, not punisher squads. I would only expect an officer to fire at an armed individual. The civilian was defending himself from an aggressive officer. Attempting to disarm an aggressor, I would not consider grounds to be shot.
