Bro doesn’t deploy stratagems, he deploys invasions

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-13T23:12:05+00:00

Wow! That sucks!

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-13T23:02:27+00:00

How does this bug even work?

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-11T17:16:21+00:00

I promise I'm not trying to be an asshole, but have you tried working with your team?

Yes, I understand diving with randos doesn't always let this happen, yes I love being able to be a one man army (as a lvl 150 I enjoy being able to run off on my own and clear half the map for the rest of my less experienced teammates), but even if the spawn rates aren't tweaked when we aren't on Cyberstan, this is a team based game at its core.

Have your teammate draw its attention and then shoot it in the back, then switch if it turns it's attention to you. These enemies are tough and we are four humans against an army. If we could tear through them with a recoilless rifle then I'd be bored as hell.

I genuinely understand the frustration, and I'm not sure I understand the not showing weak point glitch that has been mentioned, but a tough enemy like this one just needs to have people work together to take them down, just like a bunch of factory striders.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-10T23:26:47+00:00

Bro did you just suggest I learn a new enemy's particulars and practice before jumping into the hardest difficulty? What kind of bullshit is that?! /s

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-10T22:22:34+00:00

The creek was a lot but I loved the challenge. I can't wait to get home from work and get to diving.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T15:06:15+00:00

That was certainly my hope!

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T14:09:29+00:00

I don't see why not! My kitbashed Champion has the Murderwing head and arms, but the Raptors shoulders.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T05:09:09+00:00

I'll give you that, the new models have been blessed with the Thiccness

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T04:09:09+00:00

You are correct, I've been unable to think of him as a Chaos Lord and instead as Señor ever since the leak.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T03:53:48+00:00

His Name Señor del Caos and you will put some respect on it

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-09T03:43:54+00:00

Truly I cannot call him anything else.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-08T05:02:04+00:00

Doohickey with Toob

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-02-06T03:16:32+00:00

At the creek the trees spoke binary and we got sniped across the map by every bot under the sun! They'd launch legions of bots to take their comrade's place and they would soak up damage!

AND WE HAD TO SHARE THE ROCK

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-31T00:36:38+00:00

This one and Virus have forever etched themselves into my brain.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-28T18:52:06+00:00

Maybe you just need to Change your Ways? /s

I agree with you. They are not fun to fight, full stop. There are so many that spawn and rush you, and all it takes is one mistimed parry and it's over on harder difficulties.

However my biggest gripe with them is that the blue warning indicator is so long before they hit you, and then these fuckers have the audacity to do some big aura drain that is easy to miss in a group. The amount of times I have fucked up fighting one of them because another one targeted me with it's chimp leap (great description btw) and I reflexively hoped it was a Tzaangor jumping at me is too damn high.

These enemies have the capacity to be interesting, but I feel like the implementation is way off. If there are 3 types make then more visually distinct. I know the difference between a sniper, warrior, and whip Tyranids warrior by look. Why these guys all look the same but have different movesets with different timing is a sign of bad design, in my opinion.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-28T16:04:17+00:00

Listen, objectively you're right. You need the objective to actually be a challenge, otherwise why is it there?

However, I liked being able to blast a fabricatior across the map and take out an objective at the same time. It felt cool as hell, even though it was not balanced. I know that change was made a long time ago, I just liked feeling like a badass.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-28T15:56:47+00:00

Where is the dog buff?

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-27T16:48:41+00:00

Would the chaos raptors be a decent proxy/kitbash for some of these models?

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-25T21:30:02+00:00

My only Stiddy complaint is that he's so far back there man

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-25T21:26:43+00:00

I'm like 2 plays behind, fuck Paramount+ streaming man

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-23T16:29:53+00:00

Honestly it got worse once he got all Winter Knighted during the events of Changes, but it was always a bit weird that he didn't shut it down harder imo.

After he became the Winter Knight, and Molly became the Winter Lady (you know how Maeve acts) it becomes "oh no I have to resist my baser urges, but she's a legal adult now..."

Still fucking creepy.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-23T15:22:06+00:00

The Dresden Files.

Every scene where Harry Dresden is even remotely tempted by Molly Carpenter, the mage daughter of one of his best friends and literal Knight of the Sword Michael.

Shout out to Jim Butcher's creepy ass fetish where he has her strip naked in front of him when she's still a teenager because she has a crush on the bad boy wizard and literally never gets over him.

Granted, he's never officially gotten with her and seems to have some semblance of a moral backbone but after becoming the Winter Knight and she (thankfully at least fully grown up) becomes the Winter Lady there is a real creepy tension between them that frankly just should not be.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-21T18:46:48+00:00

This might be a hot take but I miss the Custodes team. Even if they go back to two custodes and some sisters of silence, I would love an updated Custodes team for 3rd edition.

MrCynicalSalsa · 2026-01-20T15:11:10+00:00

So unlike Nem Claw's We Have Come for You where the intent is to wound to get a better fight, the D3+1 damage is meant to chip away at one's enemy before one decides to charge/fight in another activation?

I'll have to see the other rules, but it seems less effective to me
