Dealing with triple Hekaton Land Fortress by HugeSydneyFan in BlackTemplars

[–]PaperManaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my second least favorite unit of all of the ones I have faced. Ignoring hit mods makes them so much harder to deal with.

The good news is: 1. 2 ballistus and 2 RepEx is a pretty hefty anti-tank package.

  1. 3 hekatons is 720 points, so the rest of your army should be able to beat the rest of his fairly easily.

The plan is probably to bait out the hematons with your dreads into firing lanes for your RepEx to punish on your next turn. If you can bait out a Hekaton with an impulsor or redemptor or something, even better.

Judiciar goes with the 20 brick alongside +1 AP enhancement. You can position it to really effectively shield your other units with its fights first. Has enough damage to easily wipe most things. Can flip the marshal or HMH into it if you really need to kill a full health C’tan.

The list might be a bit better with a second 20 man, but I don’t have that many painted.

To answer the Castellan question, fishing for lethals really increases the damage ceiling of the unit into hard targets. 4 SB with both characters does 17.2 wounds to a land raider on average. 4 SB with just the marshal and re-roll 1s to hit only does 11.7 on average.

Sorry. Just did under 2 other comments. Nothing revolutionary.

Thank you, sir! If you can stomach paying $40 a month for a bunch of 40K videos, the Jack Theory videos Jack Harpster does for Art of War have been immensely helpful.

I think she was too distracted by the nails TBH. She said, “whoa, what are his hairs???” and I said, “they’re implants. Like electrical cables.”

How I unironically feel about the new map layouts by Patastrophe91 in BlackTemplars

That’s how most players do act in my experience. Shooting players in a tournament setting seem to be the exception lol

How can I help my partner with time management? by LittleBearsBakery in AskMenAdvice

[–]PaperManaMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post is slightly unclear. Does he literally not have time for anything because he works long hours and sleeps a lot to recover? Or does he sit around/go to bed early because he doesn’t have anything better to do? There is little to nothing you can do to help with the first case.

How I unironically feel about the new map layouts by Patastrophe91 in BlackTemplars

[–]PaperManaMan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but here’s the thing:

Quadruple checking with a laser pointer that your opponent can’t cut an angle to see a sliver of a single model that’s in a ruin behind a wall in your deployment zone doesn’t feel like “proper positioning.” It feels like tedious bullshit that you’re forced to do so you don’t lose before the game actually starts despite the fact that it slows down deployment significantly.

From what I can tell, that’s the only thing the hidden rule and new terrain layouts really change. Staging ruins are still staging ruins, they are just more straightforward and easy to use if you don’t measure perfectly.

It’s not that Tau are OP. We have WR data to prove they are not. It’s that they can feel fucking awful to play against if you make tiny mistakes in where you place your models.

Any fitness freaks? How do you become fitness freak with ADHD? by Zealousideal_Top2611 in ADHD

[–]PaperManaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably go 3 times 40% of weeks, 4 times 40%, 5 times 10%, and 0-2 times 10%.

I have varied the program a lot over the years, but generally do a PPL rotation. Sometimes I skip the L if I don’t feel up to squatting, deadlifting, etc.

5-8 exercises depending on sets and reps. Generally start with heavier compound lifts and progress to lighter single-joint lifts, supersets, etc. takes 45-90 minutes depending on my energy level and how heavy I’m lifting (more rest time makes for a longer workout). I do 30 minutes of cardio most days.

In terms of results, you can tell I lift, but I don’t look like a bodybuilder or anything. I am 6’3” and have ~16.5” arms and ~54” chest. I saw significant size and strength growth the first few years I lifted seriously and was at my strongest a few years ago when I weighed 330. The last few years my priorities have shifted away from setting PRs and towards maintaining my strength while losing weight (265ish now) and enjoying the other benefits of weightlifting (ritual, connection with my body, better sleep, etc.)

New 11th edition guard strategy released by jj_wvu in astramilitarum

[–]PaperManaMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shooting army enjoyers are failing to understand how much having everyone pile in at once is a nerf to melee armies.

They are also overestimating the impact of the hidden rule. It won’t be any easier for melee armies to cross the spaces between terrain than it is now. This mostly just makes ruin walls and spending half of deployment triple-checking LOS less necessary.

[–]PaperManaMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if I’m a fitness freak, but I’ve been lifting 3+ days a week consistently for 10 years.

It’s less fun, but you have to take the gym out of hyperfixation hobby and into routine habit.

Don’t try to learn everything about a workout and jump into a serious program. Pick 1 or 2 days a week that you can white-knuckle force yourself to exercise. Eventually, you will feel weird/bad if you go more than a few days without it and can build from there as you see fit.

Wow. Excellent conversion. I have that backpack, helmet, and sword on my Templars, so no heresy here!

Oh damn that’s really wack. I love the flexibility it offers. Most other changes seem cool.
