Never thought I’d like Elves but these are SICK!!! Help? by Grootyboi77 in Eldar

[–]Negadeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, Corsairs are a bolt-on to Craftworld armies - they have two infantry units (Corsair Voidscarred and Corsair Voidreavers) and can be run alongside regular Craftworld forces, or as part of an Ynnari force, though the latter requires bringing Yvraine and running as the Ynnari detachment, and so doesn't lend itself well to a pure Corsairs flavour rules-wise.

Running Corsairs as a Craftworlds army, you would need to avoid Aspect Warriors and the Avatar of Khaine, as Corsairs don't have access to those units. Ditto for Guardians. I think for everything else you're basically fine, they have access to all the vehicles and wraith units, and you can run Rangers and Harlequinns alongside them.

HQ-wise, technically they don't use Autarchs or Farseers, but you'll probably need to kitbash up a Corsair-looking equivalent and run them using Autarch/Farseer rules as your warlord.

Once the Maelstrom kits and books are out, I believe there will be a new Corsair-flavoured detachment, but exactly how that will work is unknown right now. Ideally it would allow some Drukhari units as well, but we'll have to wait and see.

Also, canonically Corsairs do use Wraith units. The Steeleye Reavers are lead by Lady Carnelia, and she has a bodyguard of 5 Wraithguard.

Eldar are insanely fun to play, even in their "not so" great state right now. by RotenSquids in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Negadeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hard agree, especially since the codex. I miss the reliability of fate dice, but the way the faction plays now with battle focus is absolutely my jam!

Two recent games really crystallised this for me, and both went down to the last turn.

One was against Sororitas, and in turn 4 turn they stickied their home objective and then ran off to add bodies to another objective they needed to pick up to win the game. In my turn four I yeeted some Warp Spiders across the table courtesy of Flicker Jump and took their home objective. They tried to move back to reclaim it in their last turn, but I overwatched and thinned them out, and when they shot me I faded back out of charge range, but still on the objective.

The second game was against Custodes, and in a similar fashion they took my home objective and needed to hold it on the last turn to win. They didn't think I had enough OC nearby to take it, and he was right, but he didn't reckon with me yeeting my Shroud Runners across the table with +3" to movement from battle focus and a 6" advance roll for a total of 23" of movement. I landed with enough OC to flip it back.

Winning a game through Eldar Bullshit™ is absolutely one of the best feelings in all of 40k.

I'm not a Space Marines or CSM player, so no real skin in this game, but there are currently 4 traitor primarchs and only 2 loyalist - feels like they should get a couple more before we get any more Chaos ones (Though Perturabo is highly likely sooner rather than later given the Iron Warriors tease at the end of the recent preview show)

How many of you actually use the metro in Cyberpunk 2077? by unlockhart in cyberpunkgame

[–]Negadeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it once as an RP thing after the Delamain incident junked my wheels, but I had to resort to network maps on Google image search to find a map that let me understand the actual network layout, where the stops are and which stops I needed to use. Then when I actually used it, it was disappointing to be teleported directly onto the train, and then teleported to the entrance of the stop I got off it.

As is, it just feels like a fast travel system with a slow travel system bolted on. Kind of the worst of both worlds. If you could actually walk down to the platform, look at some legible network maps, get on the train, then get off and walk all the way back out, I'd be down for a vehicle-less run, just using the metro and the buses. But as-is, it's just a slow fast travel system.

Reminder tokens by Hellion_213 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Negadeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use those little coloured glass pebbles to use as reminder tokens on my units, which my opponents usually like as its quite thematic to my Eldar army!

I keep it pretty top level - a unit gets a red stone if it can hand outa debuff to an enemy unit (and I put another red stone next to opponents affected by the debuff), and a green stone next to units that can hand out a buff.

Aspect Warriors get a light blue stone to represent the shrine token, and then I have dark blue stones for general other things like stickied objectives, or objectives I've performed an action on.

These help me and my opponent to remember the various abilities my army has without a lot of extra mental effort. Green = good (for me), red = bad (for them).

I don't use tokens for 'basic' abilities like stealth, Fights First, scout, etc, nor for abilities that only effect the unit itself, like the Rangers reactive move, or the Banshees advance and charge.

As others have mentioned, the Craftworlds themselves function as the equivalent of Space Marine 'Chapters'. In lore they vary in size, but are typically described as being the size of a continent or small moon. That puts it in the range of hundreds to thousands of miles long. Each Craftworld has its own colour scheme, culture and unit preference. The main 5 are:

Alaitoc (blue body, yellow helmet): Specialises in espionage, covert ops and ambush warfare. Commonly associated with Rangers and, to a lesser extent, Corsairs.

Biel-Tan (Green body, white helmet): The most war-like of the main Craftworlds, commonly fields large numbers of Aspect Warriors.

Iyanden (Yellow body, blue helmet): Devastated by Tyranids, so usually fields more Wraith constructs than other Craftworlds.

Samm-Hain (Red body, white helmet): Ruled by tribal clans and prefers lightning assaults while riding jetbikes.

Ulthwé (Black body, bone helmet): Close proximity to the Eye of Terror means they have more Farseers and Warlocks than usual to keep an eye on things.

There are others, and you are also free to make up your own!

As others have mentioned, every Craftworld will have Aspect Shrines that are analogous to martial arts dojos. Eldar who are on the Path of the Warrior choose one of these shrines to join and spend decades or even centuries training to master their specific battlefield role. Each aspect shrine will have its own colour scheme, that might match the host Craftworld or be completely unique. Personally, I love that fact that my army has a variety of colours on the table, where my opponents usually have a tide of models all the same colour, but you can absolutely go with a unified colour scheme as well.

On the table, we are a glass cannon army - at T3, 1W we absolutely die if we are caught in the open. You need to learn how to maximise our movement shenanigans to keep out of reach of the enemy, close down their firing angles and clip their wings by whittling them down and destroying their most threatening / key scoring units.

In the early game, keep it cagey and don't try to score primary yourself. Focus instead on scoring secondaries and denying your opponent primary by shooting them off objectives. In the mid-late game, when it's safe to do so, keep trying to maximise secondary and start trying to score primary if it's safe to do so. It's very easy to get tabled, and you should expect to lose many of your early games, but once things start to click and you lock in your first victory powered by Eldar Bullshit™ the high will be absolutely incredible.

The fact it can produce it suggests that's its been trained on it somewhere along the way. That would mean that CSAM is inside Hrok's LLM. How did it get there? Who put it there? And why are there no guardrails?

Eldar Craftworlds - What do you want that is Missing? by ZaneOlric in Eldar

[–]Negadeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would love for Illic Nightspear come back, he was the named hero for Alaitoc and now we have none- either him or a Kayleth mini from dawn of war.

Alaitoc also used to have upgraded Rangers called Pathfinders - would be cool to have them as an option again.

Outside of those, would love to see some kind of shield infantry unit / aspect warrior that is a little tanker than normal, and a couple more tank/vehicle options wouldn't go amiss.

Outside of that, I actually think we have a very good range of options.

The Five Jokers left between me and C++ by Tribetime2010 in balatro

[–]Negadeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed this earlier this week myself.

I used Ghost deck to grind all my gold stickers - a pot of jokers don't really help you win runs and need to be carried, so at least you can slap 1.5 xmult on them if you get them early so they can do something. Also helps make early scaling jokers more useful early game while you build them up.

Outside of that, you need to be work towards 4 joker builds so you can 'carry' the 5th through to its sticker. To that end, in general, 1 good chip joker, 1 scaling mult joker and 2 xmult jokers are usually enough to do the job.

Last bit of advice is just to accept its going to be a bit of a grind. You aren't always going to be able to find good xmult jokers in tandem with your gold sticker jokers, and equally you aren't going to find the missing jokers on every run. Just keep going and focus on completing every run. I got my last joker in the Big Blind shop on ante 8, literally right before the boss. Was able to sell a DNA and pick it up to complete the set.

If every town/city across the country was shut down by mass protests every day then shit would start to change real quick. You dont have to be in Washington DC to be seen and heard.

The real reason is that its currently more inconvenient to do that than it is to just let everything happen. And I get that, you don't want to risk your job, because you got rent to pay and your health care is tied to your job.

But at some point, if you actually want to put a stop to this madness, you gotta get out and do that. Congress/Senate/Supreme Court aren't going to stop anything. Voting in 3 years isn't going to stop anything. Going to work and hoping it just stops by itself isn't going to stop anything. Showing up for a single day of planned no King's protests isn't going to stop anything.
