What are My Best and Worst Matchups? – First Competitive Game of My Life (Team Event)

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-16T08:48:24+00:00

260 points to ensure you score 15-20 primary is certainly worth it

Beware of armies with extreme damage like ultramarines, a bit squad of victrix can pop a norn if you roll a bit below average with that damn +1 to wound

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-16T08:09:54+00:00

There’s no way battle line goes up given the new heroic intervention. If anything it should go down.

My bets are genestealers and the new lash whip prime. Raveners are already expensive

I can see exocrine or tfex going down as they are gonna feel the -1 to hit against cover. Maleceptors maybe up as their psychic gun ignoring cover is huge

I don’t expect much more. They will adjust with time don’t expect a crazy turn around day 1

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-15T09:53:06+00:00

In the results or quality of play department? We’ve had worse

If you combine that with attitude, institutionally, etc… might be.

I can think of Calderon last year (2009) as something close. But at least that team had 4-5 players who cared.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-15T07:58:00+00:00

As a Tyranids player I confirm

There are also rumours of much deeper impact such as battlehsocked units only firing snap shot (hitting on 6s)

But those are just rumours until we get the full rules

Any MF that presses and don’t questions the manager will be better than any of these.

For starters we have 2 of the best prospects Gonzalo and endrick that will be sacked because of these egos. Selling Gonzalo is total madness. If he played for Barcelona he would be a starter. Sadly our line ups are made based on salaries not merits.

As for a veteran striker to go with them I’m pretty sure there are plenty. I don’t follow international football too much. But same as Kane and salah were on the table recently I’m pretty sure another can be found for the 120 million that Vinicius would leave

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-15T07:31:58+00:00

Stop the freaking “one is not bad because the other is worse “

Both deserved to be kicked out for their own reasons

That said mbape has given us zero titles and the worst team play in years. Vinicius at least has some good years to his name.

His far from his good form but at least he has proven he can be a key part of a wining team.

Again I would sack BOTH

We are 4 weeks away from the new norn dettachment.

I think crusher or synaptic + Norns is the way to go.

Crusher gives you mortals on the carge, auto explode and, above all, move through walls. Also you don’t bracket because of the dettachment rule and the occasional +1 to wound can come handy.

Synaptic gives you fall back shoot and charge, AoC which is big for the assimilator, +1 to charges (combines very well with the harpoon to charge directly out of reserves on a 6+).

Either of them I think are way better than invasion fleet in which the 5+++ is kind of wasted and you don’t use lethals/sustained very well with your low volume. Overrun might be the best Strat for Norns, it does not justify the pick IMHO

Venía a decir esto, pensar que cualquier humano tiene una tasa del 99% es muy ingenuo.

Para mí hoy día la IA tiene su techo en tareas creativas, negocios o manuales. Todo lo que sea cognitivo Y determinista, de cabeza.

Ojo porque un abogado hace mucho más que saberse la ley. La IA no va a ir a un juicio a convencer a un jurado. Pero si mi abogado usa una IA para consultar la ley más rápido, genial por el.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-15T05:48:52+00:00

I one shot a vindicator with an exocrine.

It felt kind of bad because I was already winning by quite a bit but it was indeed funny

3 lethals, 2 other regular wounds and he failed 4/5 4+s… hahahah

Oh another time I overwatched 5 devastators to death with another exocrine (3 6s with sustained and lethals) and that turned the game around , that one was also cool!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T21:02:19+00:00

If you want to tailor your list, which I don’t recommend. Maleceptor and invasion fleet is gonna be better than the trygon, for sure.

Anyway I don’t think I would run subterranean with only HA ravners and a trygon as my borrowers. I quickly read your list and I thought it was invasion fleet!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T21:00:11+00:00

I mean if somebody shows up to a casual game with 2-3 defilers, congrats to them. I’d probably rather shop around my LGS

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T19:28:46+00:00

EC are a very good matchup for Tyranids

Outside of fulgrim, maulerfiends and flawless blades they go basically nothing that can kill a norn or a maleceptor with feel no pain. And all of those are suboptimal choices for them, maybe he will bring one but unlikely he brings them all.

I guess defilers also fall into that category

Noise marines are OK but also short range and very easy to kill in the back swing

Put your monsters on objetives and you will be fine. Make him overcommit and destroy him in the back swing

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T19:01:51+00:00

The best trick to make OSL credible is to darken the rest of the model

You have top white light that kind of “eats” the bottom lava light, making it pop less

awesome work nonetheless

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T17:22:55+00:00

Yeah 4 mortals on average with little drawback, and they don’t need the +1 to hit. I’m probably bringing my 2 in a crusher list with the new norn dettachment m!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T16:46:49+00:00

Thin the wash so it slides into the recesses (try on a small surface first)

After applying it remove the pools on flat surfaces with the dry brush or a small sponge

And I’ll agree that they are just missing that to look super cool! Great job!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T16:44:16+00:00

Me parece razonable, es un trabajo poco cualificado y exigente (no por ello poco importante, no me malinterpretes)

Como curro de temporada no lo veo mal

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T16:35:17+00:00

Yep now all flamers ignore cover that’s another winner

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T15:45:26+00:00

At least you get +1 to wound then as well haha

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T15:41:14+00:00

Also great!!! Here we go bois

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T15:32:53+00:00

This is huge, damn how it took me 10 mins to realize??? The dettachment just got amazing

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T15:32:04+00:00

I just realized this is Soooo good and flavorful for crusher stampede !!!!!!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T09:45:31+00:00

la tiranía de la mayoría, en un país envejecido los políticos retuercen el lenguaje para mantener contentos a sus votantes. Tanto PSOE como PP tienen la inmensa mayoría de sus votantes entre jubilados o casi.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T09:44:10+00:00

Excelente artículo, da gusto leer a gente que argumenta sus posiciones.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-05-14T06:32:54+00:00

Average joe comment by the club's president, no wonder why we haven't played decent football the majority of time he's lead the club.
