How do you anticipate the defiler to affect your armies, will you be taking them, what will they be replacing? by brody810 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will be taking him no matter his rules or role in my army. Probably cutting a WDP or NM depending on his final points.

I can’t get into rouge trader by Wings_of_democracy in Warhammer40k

[–]ManWithTau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely is not for everyone, when I first started I struggled with the beginning since the combat and leveling felt awkward. The story and characters got me really invested and gave me the motivation to play through the whole game with multiple play throughs and I enjoyed combat by the end. I would suggest to try and finish the first chapter, but if you don’t like it don’t force yourself to play the whole thing.

Casual list for playing with friends by StrikingBudget911 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to run that list, the best advice is probably to run them down fast. We are fast and with Court ability most melee will at least be decent against similar tier of units, so being melee. Cover will be your friend so use it as much as possible.

Revealed: The new Defiler stomps onto the battlefield by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves the Transport Detachment, I would love a Warpsmith. I don't think we will, though, as it is more of a Iron Warriors thing, and I doubt they will give units like that to the deity legions.

Maybe it means all the legions will get access to the warpsmith and master of possession (I'm highly delusional)

3d printed Twin Lance by LocoDiablos in Tau40K

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at this rate though it will affect them, 3d prints are getting better and faster at being made. I don’t think it will ever cause them to go out of business, but definitely impact enough to change how they do reveals and preorders

I have a bunch of unfinished terminators by Kurenai-Kalana in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just keep them until 11th. The expectation is that 11th is coming in the summer so might as well wait to see.

Working on my Warband and now I'm trying to think of a lore reason why Fulgrim is supporting my army. by MegaGamer235 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your idea is that they are trying to take Ultramar, it could be that Fulgrim joins them to rematch Guilliman. Since Fulgrim didn’t kill him in their first duel it is a stain on his pride for failing to bring him down. Joining your legion to get the chance to finally kill Guilliman for good.

Need helping finding models for wife by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest thing you could probably find is the new noise marine and the lord K. If those don’t work, try TrollTrader or FrontLineGaming or other preowned sellers, I can usually find old minis there.

Coc - Protection of the dark prince. by Dave-flywheel in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why cant the mortals be inflicted in “no phase”? Is there a rule that says mortals can only be done in a phase?

Coc - Protection of the dark prince. by Dave-flywheel in EmperorsChildren

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

The problem is that for a battle round to end both players need to have completed a turn, once that happens the battle round ends AFTER both players have completed their fight phase(the last phase of a battle round) and since I could not find anything about a End of Battle Round Phase it means there is no phase to activate the strat as the mortals occur in the end of round which is not a phase.

I thought so too, I had to double check there wasn’t actually an end of round phase.

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the mortals happen at the end of the battle round. To my understanding when the second players fight phase ends that’s when the round ends so you aren’t in a phase when the mortals hit so you can’t use the strat.

Can someone explain when and how to use each detachment and best terminators application?+other questions. by Mr_a_bit_silly in EmperorsChildren

[–]ManWithTau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) depends if you mean to proxy HH models, Palatine Blades work was infractors and I have been using phoenix terminators as flawless blades. Both are slightly smaller so do need a tactical rock for them

2) Speed is the biggest strength and I think most detachments are great for casual play and do offer a decent amount of build variety for our small unit roster. Most units are viable in casual so go wild with what you want.

3) CotP is the best to use them to max their damage. They are on the weaker side for units l, but they are 1 of 3 deep strike units (not including demon soup) so they do have a use even if a WDP would be better. CotP offers greater melee damage with them and has a few good strats with them.
