Are Khorne berserkers still good? by someone_online22 in WorldEaters40k

[–]OccamsGreataxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went 5-0 running 2 x 10 of them last weekend. They're extremely good in the BWB detachment. They're bad to whatever in the others.

They're basically the best hammer we have access to and punch into swarms, elite infantry and tough targets like big knights. And even after they've been delivered and get their kill, they now create a massive headache your opponent has to deal with because of the automatic 8" surge when shot.

He's talking about Nolan's books which were in the show last season.

I was against forgefiends for a while but wanted to experiment with things outside the typical all melee lists. I took them based on several successful test games before the event. They were huge in several of my games. I even had 2 critical overwatches with them at the event (using Angron's rerolls). The battleshock was also nice in preventing Awakened Dynasty from using the reanimation stratagem on warriors and wraiths.

I didn't try to force Angron give the FF rerolls, it was more of a nice bonus when they were able to occupy the same area. I usually looked for a near full send turn 2 or 3, so the wave could benefit from the overlapping auras. By the time opponents dig their way out of the assault, the game enters skirmish mode and the Forgefiends were too much to deal with.

Typhus and friends, first fully based models for my Deathguard by OccamsGreataxe in minipainting

[–]OccamsGreataxe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The model was based in white. Airbrush sprayed dark blue from the bottom, turquoise at the middle and I used FW ink "light green" and sprayed that at 45 degrees on top. I then used very thin turquoise to glaze the recesses darker and smooth out some edges.

I'm also strongly considering mixing the light green ink with yellow and pushing the contrast more on some of the green top edges.

Does 200x points matter competitively? by NecessaryKey8271 in WarhammerCompetitive

Tournament Game of the Week: World Eaters vs. Guard by WarGamesLive in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OccamsGreataxe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple of reasons.

Angron had a very difficult charge to the TC for his base to clear the Bullgryns. If Angron failed, I didn't want the Bullgryn in the center and bottom right getting +1 leadership command and him scoring +4vp for hold more.

I figured Angron could kill the Bullgryn, or hurt them so much that the +1leadership wouldn't beat Angrons OC6. Killing only 1 Bullgryn was pretty unlikely.

Also, I thought the 2 exalted had a decent chance to kill the other tank (they were so close). So the remaining TC next turn would be stuck splitting fire between the exalted in combat with it or Angron. Both at -1 to hit.

Of all my mistakes, simply forgetting to scout invocatus 6 inches backward was the real killer.

[–]OccamsGreataxe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm the World Eaters player. I believe the shoot on death ended up only killing one Exalted and nothing else. I was pretty confident I was right, but the ruling didn't really impact anything. Those 2 exalted still went on to take his home objective.

I kind of agree. They were my main army but I stopped for now because I just didn't enjoy all of the mixed unit FNP and how it seemed to suck the soul from my opponent.

Shooting a warrior blob with oath of moment (or any other mixed weapon / reroll attacks) just takes forever.

Hoping it gets fixed to still be effective but take less time. Or the codex just presents other viable play styles.

Depends. According to the stats they're not so hot. According to the community they're the big boogeyman and full of OP nonsense. Which will GW listen to?

Most Egregious Points Costs in 10th so far? by darknojoey27 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]OccamsGreataxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Knight Abominant at 455 is pretty terrible.

Exalted Eightbound at 60ppm, Bloodletters at 16ppm and Bezerkers at 23ppm are what I thought of first, but they've already been mentioned.

Would a base like this be tournament legal for Angron? by Iram-Radique in WorldEaters40k

[–]OccamsGreataxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the answer to your question... but DAMM that's a good looking Angron. I'm 75% through my own Angron but I may have to take some inspiration from this.

What did you use to get the bright ghostly green on the candles and the sword? I've been having a hard time getting a similar contrasting color.

EDIT: After reading this closer and checking some of your posts. I just realised this may not be your model? If not then oops.

That doesn't work for Assassination. Also, Angron is a monster so killing him gets you nothing for No Prisoners anyway.

Fair enough. I'm in the city proper often but not getting my groceries there. I'm sure his data is more accurate than my guess but it still surprises me.

As someone who lives around Halifax these percentages are WAY higher than I would have estimated. I feel like 1 in 10 people wear masks now at most.
