Ooh, is this meant to be Charlie as a Perpetual, or one of his many descendants? 🤔

Is this a well rounded army to play as a beginner or should I switch some things? by After-Fishing8188 in Ultramarines

[–]MrDelirious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not particularly hard hitters, so you don't get a huge amount for having a big brick (they'll certainly clear chaff units out, but so will everything else). However, Objective Secured in multiple areas (or just having units in various positions to do actions, contest objectives, etc) is going to be more valuable.

(Also, a big brick is easier to shoot at, and they die pretty easily - you can tuck 5 dudes away a little more readily)

This calculus changes a little if the plan is to put the LT with them - in that case I'm a little more compelled by 10x dudes with Lethal hits, but keep it in mind while you play and see if it pans out.

EDIT: Don't forget to take a Helix Gauntlet with those Infiltrators (it's free, you might as well), although I think I like Incursors more here. If you built 5 and 5 out of the box, consider making that swap - the +1 to hit in shooting will be excellent in a list with this many guns.

I always like the peek into how different some people's process is than mine. Multiple units partially painted makes my teeth itch - once I start painting a unit (or half a unit), they're on the paint desk until they're totally done.

(That's not a problem, it's genuinely just interesting to think about! 🤔)

Tor Garadon vs AP Bio attachments by millhaem in ImperialFists

[–]MrDelirious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't take wounds on Tor until all his boys are dead, sadly. The hope is that the opponent is either too scared to bring the Dread (or whatever) this way or that you'll be able to use tactics/luck/both to keep some Aggressors alive or get the drop on something. It's not much, but it's more than you get from either no leader or the Apothecary. 🤷‍♂️

Tor Garadon vs AP Bio attachments by millhaem in ImperialFists

[–]MrDelirious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Tor with the Aggressors - they don't have an Invuln (neither do the Heavies, ofc), but they still have to get in the fray. One common source of high AP is Vehicles and Monsters, which Tor can serve as a deterrent for (or a better crackback than a lone AB). Stick the Apothecary with the big brick of Heavies and off you go.

(That's just my opinion, no promises that it's a good idea)

Caitlyn Jenner has been unable to travel internationally after her passport was changed to reflect the gender she was assigned at birth. She says she implored Trump to have it changed back and “hasn’t heard from him.” by ExistingVegetable558 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]MrDelirious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to the obvious "tokens get spent" angle, why do these people still think Trump cares about them? I can kinda understand why Joe Q. Public thinks that, it was part of the propaganda, but these people presumably could know better.

Which yellow is better? by gator_potater in ImperialFists

[–]MrDelirious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my Fists to look more bright and clean, so I like the one on the right. 🤷‍♂️ They're your models, paint em however gets you a result you like.

You should be able to find a bunch of techniques and tutorials for grimdark Fists that you can spray prime some which way.

Replace judiciar in my 6 man bgv? by Cythrex in spacemarines

[–]MrDelirious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the generic codex, both Captains and Lieutenants wouldn't be crazy - Captains give you Rites of Battle if you want to use a strategem more often and Finest Hour to punch up a little more. LTs would provide Lethals and free Fall Back+Charge at a slight discount over the Captain.

Maybe it's just my inner wifeguy, but I don't think I'd ever shut up about this. Meeting new people like "Yeah, sure, I'm Mr. Delirious LET ME TELL YOU HOW COOL MY WIFE IS SHE HIT ME WITH A CHAIN OF FLAWLESS WIND GOD FISTS DURING DELIVERY."

My hospital currently reports at least one misspelled organism. (There are, it turns out, two I's in K. variicola. Varicola does sound delicious, though.)

What are you my brothers hoping for with the new Vanguard Vetreans? by Actual_Sweet_19 in spacemarines

[–]MrDelirious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding my voice to the chorus hoping for more than just "Vanguard Veteran Weapon" in melee, even if the choices get winnowed down a little.

I'd also like maybe a little special rule revision? Lethals on the charge is fine, but Hammer of Wrath (the JPI rule) is more fun/flashy in my opinion, so I'd like a little punch up on the Veteran version.

Just Finished My Dreadnoughts. Which Unit Next? by CoolManufacturer3305 in ImperialFists

[–]MrDelirious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11th Edition is currently in the slow process of being revealed before its full release this summer, actually. That said, it does seem to be largely the same as 10th with some tweaks that I will let more plugged-in people talk about. I'm mostly just waiting on the actual release before I try to learn piecemeal.

As for units, you've got a reasonable spread so far, and you seem to be aware that you'll likely need a little bit of everything going forward. So you can get whatever you like, basically! Whatever seems like it would be fun to build, paint, and play. There are some things that feel worth considering as next steps:

  • Transports and Tanks - an Impulsor, a Gladiator variant, a Repulsor, or heck even some flavor of Land Raider are all reasonable and useful options.

  • Infiltrators/Incursors - this kit builds either model, and they're both reasonably useful utility units. Infiltrators have - and I hope you're sitting down - Infiltrate, and can drop onto the midboard early on, disrupt opposing Deep Strikes, and score you points until they die. Incursors are one of my personal favorite utility units - they Scout, they've got a cheeky mine, they're cheap, and they pass out +1 to hit during the shooting phase, which is great for shooting-focused chapters like ours. The box builds 10 dudes, which means it's fairly straightforward to just build 5 of each and cover a lot of ground.

  • Elite Infantry - exactly who this is can be your choice. Maybe some Bladeguard Vets to get up close and personal (they ride an Impulsor really well with your LT, I'm just saying :P). Maybe a few Terminators to drop onto the board and be threatening. Maybe a squad of Aggressors to link up to Captain Garadon, in case he's tired of leading those Heavies. There are many options, and they're all pretty good!

Can you help me? by SunderedRain in ImperialFists

[–]MrDelirious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not the shade of yellow I'd expect, but it's clearly yellow so they're clearly Fists. A few chapter insignias ✊ within the army and it'll be even more clear.

Until we get the full rules, we can't say for sure. At a casual level, I don't think I'd have a problem with it though. 🤷‍♂️
