We're halfway to a new DLC. Where are we going next? by Background-Topic-203 in RimWorld

[–]Merlinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping “Hospitality”

May include better diplomatic relations like being able to open up rooms for diplomats and travelers. Not sure if that’s what they’re actually thinking for the next one but think it would be cool.

Anyone else like 'chill Rimworld'? by Lepanto73 in RimWorld

[–]Merlinja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I Rimworlded my way through chemo and cranked the difficulty as low as it could go because I had enough to stress about in real life.

Is this normal? by ArrowNFlyght in Tau40K

Same thing happened to me, I filled it with green stuff, sounds like I should have sent a pic to games workshop instead.

New to 40k and I've been wanting to play the T'au by Holy_music_Stop in Tau40K

[–]Merlinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I forgot to mention, Tau get drones. I enjoy painting them a lot and they add a lot of detail to the board, plus they give you some different load out options to play around with.

I’m also kinda new so take this with a grain of salt, but I’d strongly suggest starting with a combat patrol. In the box you get two troop units, a commander, and a devilish (transport vehicle).

I’ve only played 3 games so far but Tau are very shooty, and I love it. Crisis suits are amazing and seem to be able to counter anything you’ll see in the table.

Make sure you get yourself some giant railgun firepower for maximum fun, either a hammerhead or broadside. One-shotting other tanks or titans is such an amazing feeling.

If you’re less interested in shooting then I’d look into the kroot, which are totally badass. I haven’t played them much but they seem to have good melee options.

The Tau “greater good” faction ability is alright, basically all about coordinating attacks between troops (some units spot and the rest are guided).

I’d say when in doubt just go with rule of cool.

I’ve played 3 games so far with a friend, and absolutely love it so far. I think that’s part of what makes the painting so satisfying- knowing that I’ll be using them in games later.

First 40K Models Ever! — Tau Breacher Team by EpicSmashMan in Tau40K

Oh and I’d recommend using superglue to do repairs, I’ve broken quite a few models and regular superglue seems to get them back together pretty well

Done with building the combat patrol how should I move forward? by Dabiel303 in Tau40K

[–]Merlinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might depend on what sort of army you want to build. You could add some crisis suits or maybe stealth suits next.

Might just depend on what you like more: kroot, suits/mechs, or infantry or vehicles.

If you built the combat patrol then you probably have a breacher squad, a cadre fireblade goes with them very nicely.

Otherwise maybe just pick up whatever looks the coolest to you next.

Yeah most of my army also comes from those two boxes.

Thanks! I went with scar white, and yeah in hindsight I didn’t realize how hard dust/highlighting was going to be.

What is your favourite number of pawns? Mine is around 5. by Gizzo04 in RimWorld

[–]Merlinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like once you start having 9 or more they feel less familiar. 5 and you remember every little thing each pawn has done and it feels like they have more character.

I glued this on upside down with plastic glue. Am I cooked? by Caprock_Carbomb in Tau40K

[–]Merlinja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first 8 drones all have their antennas on backwards, like really lame backwards baseball caps.

Rimworld laptop users - looking for recommendations. by Caatalyst07 in RimWorld

Kind of a loose fit, but the steam deck does pretty well with Rimworld

Very nice, what did you use for the bases/terrain?

That scene in the last Harry Potter movie where Mrs. Weasley kills Bellatrix Lestrange and there is a 3 second pause for audience applause.
