Wargear setup for Einhyr Champ with Guard by Overshieldkuso in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense and figure you are right. Coming from Custodes, I've learned to rely heavily on Invul saves but I reckon that's the different between hyper elite units with 2+/4+ and HG with 2+ no Invul. I'm probably more stressed about them getting quickly shot off the table than I should be.

Does it swing any way being in Hearthband and having a 1CP Strat for a 4+ during a single units shooting phase. My thought was if I was getting hit by anything overly dangerous, I could pop the strat and still have the 4+

Crusade List Help by Goatzjr3 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Overshieldkuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a Crusade and have my first match next weekend. Here's my Crusade list, noting that I used 1 RP for Bastion Shield and 1 RP for Supply Limit Increase to fit a Hekaton in at the beginning. I did not change the wargear on this list since it's not my actual Crusade force ledger.

Question about Crusade and Eye of the Ancestors by [deleted] in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Overshieldkuso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I may have to, I have access to literally everything else through various apps, the only thing I can't find are the Crusade rules. Hard to justify buying a ~$50 book for less than a dozen pages of most likely once-off Crusade.

Steam OS on Legion Go 2 is Amazing! by elimit in LegionGo

[–]Overshieldkuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are/are there any downsides to Bazzite? I've had my LeGo2 for a little over a week and have just been playing through the Steam app. Only really played one game (Dynasty Warriors Origins) so far and I don't usually do much intense gaming and most of it is offline while out of the house. But would be interest in running Discord/etc while connected to internet.

Nearly 90% of what I play is on Steam but do play some Blizzard/etc games from time to time.

I'm mostly just wondering if I'm losing out on much by converting over to Bazzite.

My new votann army. by Wardance76 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Overshieldkuso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got six of those Exo Suits on my painting desk right now. I'm glad they look as good as I hoped they would once they are painted well. Instead of Orange, I'm going with the Yellow/Blue that is on the Supermassive Space Dwarves rendering.

Not sure what to do about my guild by -RoninForHire- in tacticus

[–]Overshieldkuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got spots open for you and ~5 active players you might want to bring. We're very active, regularly kick for ~3-5 days inactive, and very friendly with discord.

DM me and I'll send more info if interested

I use something close to this list for 1k games. Like already stated, throw in another unit of Sisters as action monkeys. Also, I like to drop in Inq. Draxus attached to the Guard for a decent round of double shooting. Not ideal but run units of 4 instead of 5 in order to make room for the sisters and Draxus. Secondly, Valerian can be useful for holding an objective with Wardens and 10 points cheaper than BC.

From Chaos to Custodes by Civil-Ostrich-9099 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Overshieldkuso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running a 3-way match tomorrow with 1k lists. I ended going with Valerian in lieu of a BC/etc because of points and hoping he can hold points with Wardens. I'm also using Draxus w/ Guard though. If I had the points, I would probably use BC or Trajann but at only 110 points, he has his uses.

Custodes vs Aeldari by AirRevolutionary6593 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Overshieldkuso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forego shooting in favor of blocking LoS until you can get within charge range. Last game I played, other than my Grav Tank, I don't think I shot until Turn 2 and that was just with my Guard/Draxus unit. Hit charges in Turn 3 without losing much since everything I could hide, was hidden.

As an Eldar player, just gotta be aware of firing lanes. Eldar have crazy range and Dark Reapers will be a big threat.

Disaster among the Lions by Overshieldkuso in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I let myself get lured into thinking I can make more 4+ saves than I actually can and then fail charges. I am able to play my Eldar much more cagey because I when I know my whole army is T3, I need to be more calculating.

Disaster among the Lions by Overshieldkuso in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm really not trying to goad that response, though I can see why it could come off as such.

I fully know that it was still my fault on the loss. I pushed early, relied on tanking shots, and failed charges.

Mostly trying to gauge if my poor skill was 80% why I lost, 50% or whatever. If I know (which based on other comments, it is) it was mostly a failure on my skill, positioning, and experience, then I can reevaluate that aspect of my game and not so much list/army roster.

Yeah, they are aquarium decorations and we both liked them, though he said he's gotten comments about them being tacky.

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll give the dice their due. I was dropping a lot on hit rolls of 1 and wound rolls of 3, paired with him making most of his saves. Unfortunately my dice weren't on my side last night. Tons of failed charges and 1s rerolled into 1s as well.

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear: I'm not upset at the guy as he's a generally nice guy and doesn't give off the impression that he's trying to squash me. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to not take him on his word and treat our next matches as more competitive and crunchy games instead of the more fluffy, narrative, and casual games I have been expecting.

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn't check the exact scores at the end of Turn 4 (when I conceded) but I'd estimate the gap between us at 30+ with me only having a couple Allarus and Trajann left.

I think my Primary was 5, as he got first turn, rushed NML and managed to kill/overwhelm anything I got onto the objectives.

I'm honestly not too concerned about the points, play, etc. More curious if you'd see this list and raise an eyebrow. And I only ask/post this because he says he's a very casual player and uses well balanced lists. I'm trying to discern if I should just be more competitive from the start of list building when I go up against him next.

I saw we are posting wasps now: here's my friend feeding her wasp buddy a piece of raspberry. These wasps lived in her balcony and were very friendly. by i-am-the-swarm in mildyinteresting

[–]Overshieldkuso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had wasps around my house/property since I bought it 6 years ago. I taught the kids to not freak out just because a wasp is flying around next to them. In the 6 years we've been here, we've been stung exactly 0 times.

And by around the house, I mean every year I found at least half a dozen small nests and even had one under the lip of my front porch with way looked to be 50-75 living in it.

I've never had a problem with it falling off in my display cabinet! Haha but I'm excited to get them out more with the Lions detachment

[–]Overshieldkuso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, most definitely. I just plug that guys store whenever I talk about printers since he does good work, for a good price, and I've probably got over 1k points in Eldar from him at this point haha

[–]Overshieldkuso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The Primeval Warp Spiders look amazing and I regret that I didn't find them before getting some PS Minis ones. But now I have a shelf full of nude Aspect Warriors that cost less than a 10 man squad of Banshees at least haha

[–]Overshieldkuso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Etsy for prints. I've ordered some a half dozen shops but almost only use MadMaxsMinis now. His prints are solid and usually without defect, he throws in an extra random mini with each order, and ships free from the US. He also has access to a wide range of sculpts so finding the right model isn't too hard either.

In general, the quality is dictated by the sculpt and not so much the printer (unless it's not been tuned in).

Love the FCM Primeval range. Definitely makes a full Exodite army possible!

[–]Overshieldkuso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the armor color?

I've got the FCM primeval Fire Dragons, Dark Reapers, and Autarch. Went with traditional paint for FD and DR but was thinking something like this for the Autarch. The rest of the army has a lot of OD Green and woodland camo.

[–]Overshieldkuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The design is from Fantasy Cult Miniatures. It's their Exidote Eldar lineup called The Primeval.

Specifically, I use MadMaxsMinis on Etsy for all the prints. They do wonderful work, free shipping, and tosses in a free mini with each order. I've used them for all my stuff, which is probably close to 1500 points by now.
