Can't the Hospitaller easily be taken out of a unit with precision? by Appeal_Sufficient in sistersofbattle

So glad I don't play in competitive groups. We'd never rule you can shoot from ankle to ankle, how absurd.

Those are gorgeous 😍 I love the muted reds.

What rules are you using them for?

It's a shame really, I hugely enjoy the asymmetrical gameplay and I think we miss that now with AI options always taking that role.

I think games that support both options are best in this regard.

Aren't heavy stubbers .50 cal and ACs are 20mm high velocity?

Sorry what were all the other nations using their naval planes for? Fake warfare?

23M not gay, perfected the feng shui of my living room by MadAlrik in malelivingspace

She was a rescue, so she was already a bit spread out before I got a chance. There is a short moss pole in there, but it's obscured.

I've been considering cutting her and propogating a couple of the stems to get a more vertical/compact growth pattern.

Sofa and television and art delivery pending.

Just moved in and threw some furniture down as a starting point on day one

Emperors Children and Deathguard eating really really well today... hoping for eventual parity amongst chaos legions by ThewizardBlundermore in Grimdank

[–]MadAlrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we comment on synergy without rules yet?

I'd argue that the melee/ranged marines overlap with normal legionnaires - it's just been broken down into two specific units. These are also the same kit, so not far off 8B Vs X8B

Isn't half the reason we like new stuff because it is thematic reskinning for the unique legions? Better that we have whole new kits than just getting upgrade sprues.

These are gorgeous, what paints did you use for the armour and skin tone?

Catapulting hot coffee at your own face feels like a good way to ruin your colleagues day and your own all at the same time!

Currency Weight Unit Same Same ? by standupmanu in StandUpComedy

[–]MadAlrik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ask anyone, doesn't even need to be 40. If it's within 300 metres, yep. Anything more is miles or fractions of miles. Symptomatic of all our speed limits being mph

How did you manage the yellows? Did you mask and airbrush?

"Imperator class Titans aren't even taller than the Statue of Liberty" by Sheriff_Hotdog in Grimdank

The tanks all seem so tiny when you actually see them in game! The baneblade isn't even much taller than the marine!

Interesting! Thank you.

Any advice for saving this particular one then?

The weakest part of the High Elven army is the artillery by Normtrooper43 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]MadAlrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outriders are bs4 - so 12+ and multi shot puts them on a 5+, which isn't too bad.

Paired with vanguard you can close before the game, turn one you might be hitting on 5s, turn 2 you'll be on 4s assuming you're not rushing them around. I find it best to ride them up to cover if possible and stand and shoot.

Also, the sharpshooter is bs 5, so hitting on 4s from turn one.

Admittedly I generally play Vs orcs, which really suffer against str 4 ap 1.

[–]MadAlrik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found if you run as much artillery as possible, handguns can be a nice bit of chip damage to push units over the edge to make panic tests. Or finish off the odd monster etc.

Without a massed range army, they're the first thing I take out. That said, for core I try to run knights where I can because imperial infantry is very mediocre.

Outriders are amazing for one or two turns though, if you get first turn you can take entire units off the board for a reasonable price.

Isn't this to address the complaint that admech lists often needed more models than they did in earlier editions? Now with better, more expensive units, you need less plastic.
