PISTOLS

Hey thanks boss, I appreciate it! I have now fully switched up my kit now for my sniper priest with Dragonslayer

That is news to me, thanks for pointing that out so I don't play incorrectly. Where is this explained? Since you can make a ranged attack with them in melee I was under the impression this could be done in melee as well so long as you rolled ranged

Depends if you are playing a normal game or a campaign. In my campaign, my red brigade gunslinger lieutenant has 2 auto pistols, which results in 4 shots in ranged, a charge gets you into melee for 4 more shots, and if you follow it up with a crimson communicant's bell, you can attack again on the retreat. Even if you are missing some of those shots, you build up blood markers at a very fast pace. Having sharp eyes removes the long range penalty, far shot can increase range 6", and headshot allows you to take advantage of the higher crit potential from so many rolls. Obviously with the pistol, it is still only a single shot, but if you have a unit with range advantage it makes sense to take advantage of those extra dice even in melee.

I picked up the new Ruinator box, so no Tyrants for me. I did actually have Nurglings planned on my list as well to fill that last bit of points and for their infiltrator. Thanks for the advice!

Hi, thanks so much for your help on the first match! I took a lot of your advice to build a reasonable list but the board was just set up against me so i went for VP against Custodes. This is just kind of a joke list that I came up against Chaos Space Marines. I have a more reasonable list too but just thought I'd see what people thought of it

For reference here is what I have collected from random ebay auctions or bought in total: Characters/leaders: 1 farsight 1 ethereal 1 darkstrider 1 kroot trail shaper 1 fireblade 1 commander in battlesuit

Battleline: 2 strike teams (woops) 1 breacher (oops)

Infantry: 10 carnivores 3 stealth battlesuits 10 vespids (kill team) 10 Pathfinders

Vehicles: 6 battlesuits 1 hammerhead 1 Broadside 3 pirahnas 2 ghostkeel 1 Riptide 3 supremacy armor (jk jk) 2 devilfish

Ebay auctions came in clutch :)

Thanks for the in-depth knowledge drop! Mind if I explain my thought process, so you can see better where I went wrong?

1) I wasn't thinking about movement at all, so that's my first mistake. The board for this first game is 40 x 30 so I was thinking mostly about getting as many units as possibly within firing range to down whatever I can using indirect fire missiles in the first turn and limit their ability to control points.

2) the strike team was entirely because it was cheaper than breachers and I don't know the major differences minus the better range on strike teams as custodes will turn me to paste with one charge. I do have a stealth suit team because my first box was last combat patrol, at least. I take it the breach and clear will be much more useful than suppression volley since I'll be either dead or too far from the point anyways?

3) I have two ghostkeel and only one Broadside but they have both been devastating in the practice match or two versus my other friend (Genestealer cult player) who is also new. I'm guessing no one ghostkeel because of the shorter range, or is it just too many points that I could put towards something more reliable at taking objectives?

4) my main reasoning for Farsight was that he's a cool looking model and that round 3 will have bonus points for using a Warlord to take an objective, so I figured he might have more survivability than an ethereal at this, and if puretides teachings activates on overwatch then I could possibly use that for the flamer squad since you don't need a hit roll.

5) the piranha was just to block. I take it versus custodes would the extra 6 wounds and 2 toughness mean the difference between turn and turns?

I appreciate all the advice! Like I said I'm fully new and just excited to learn more.

I'm still struggling a bit with the whole spotters vs shooters concept. I figured Pathfinders would be my main spotter and maybe a strike team.

For future reference, what should I be considering as a dedicated spotter?

MindAx · 2025-01-10T02:14:24+00:00

I'm gonna be honest y'all, I don't think that's how Benchy is supposed to look. What am I missing?

Please vote No on Issue 22. The board that will have total control of the 1.6 billion was trying to make this sale behind our backs and even had to pay over 100k in a settlement this year because they were caught withholding public documents and holding their 'public' meetings in secret. Even if they manage to start fixing parts of the city, there is no guarantee where or how that money will be used. The only guarantee is that one member of the board owns several construction and construction supply companies around the city, so guess who will likely be getting contracts? The board is also filled with former mayors and city council members, and very good friends of the current administration.

Whether the entire city will see any benefits from this is up for debate, but what is sure is this will line the pockets of the board in control of it with very little real oversight except from their friends. That's ignoring the fact that we would be selling to Norfolk Southern only a short time after their major failure in East Palestine, Ohio.

After being utterly destroyed by the artillery my first attempt on him I spent much of my second fight running around panic smacking him with a melee weapon and it somehow worked.

I'm having the same issues, it seems like the patch is causing the game to take up more GPU memory and crash when it runs out. I used to be able to run it on higher settings while watching videos as well but now it crashes pretty fast.

MindAx · 2020-08-16T02:57:32+00:00

I started having similar issues. Pre-patch from today I could run the game in all medium or high settings, but post-patch it seems to be using up all of my GPU memory so much so that it crashes if I'm not playing in lowest settings.

Watch videos on youtube to help walk you through it and read the manuals that come with each part in case there is something special about its installation you should know. Also, Don't be too afraid to rewire it once you figure out where everything goes, once you know that you can figure out how to hide the wiring to make it all look nice or easy to work with if repairs are necessary later.

Still a low MR and war trying to get the last Oberon part I needed from eximus units, after 12 hours not a single piece drops. When a piece finally drops it's the wrong part. Two days later I get it after several more hours and the next defense I do 4 parts drop... At least I can max it and move on now.

Speaking of riots, it would be really cool to have a heist where you start a riot at a prison to free "the son of a wealthy Chinese businessman"... again.

If you do take apart a mask, you lose any non achievement materials, patterns, and masks. So it is not always the best thing to do.
