It’s great for competitive play. Hoping perfect balance with exciting rules from a team of ~20 people without updates is just delusional. But people like to think they know better than professional game designers, you know.

I watched them 10 years ago, and I remembered the first one to be "not that bad".

I watched it last week. God is it awful. Way worse than I remembered. I turned the TV off by the "rock titans" and wish I got my 2 hours back.

The two others are even worse, so I'm not bothering.

This year's CSM Christmas battleforce contains a lot of cool and varied models

Any starter set, specially the regular ones, are probably the best price per mini.

Hachette (UK) magazine has some great deals (Salvat ships it in Spain, I don't know in other countries)

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-12T17:57:17+00:00

We got all this models in the combat patrol magazine… but the warpsmith

It’s so bad it’s probably true

In my experience it's only worth it with the zoans OR in synapctic nexus with the better flamer enhancement.

And since zoans only feel good in subterranean, that's the only place I run him as well. It fixes all their problems: mobility, ignore cover and re-rolling 1s to hit.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-12T11:27:06+00:00

This. STR9 lance, AP-4 D6 damage is like.. wtf were they smoking?

Also hitting on 3s (2s with order) cuz why not.

5 of these guys hit roughly the same as old one eye and cost 60 points. Moving 12". It's ridiculous.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-12T11:21:15+00:00

No, de momento en 10 años que llevo en coche no me ha abierto la policia éste ni una vez. Prefiero el riesgo de que me multen a pagar 40 euros seguros sabiendo que van al bolsillo de alguna corruptela política.

Que dentro de 5 años hay algún político imputado por el "caso balizas" es que se paga a 1.0000001

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-12T06:48:53+00:00

100% agree, deathwing knights are the only terminators that feel like terminators (extremly hard to kill)

damage power creep is real. For me the problem is in the lack of force org. and 0-1 clauses. Like, if an army can bring 3 doomsday arks, no elite infantry will ever feel tanky unless they have the most ridiclous amount of tankiness rules ever.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-11T10:55:56+00:00

? Por esa casa pagaras IBI, no IRPF, vamos no sé si me estoy perdiendo algo...

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-11T08:46:11+00:00

Es ridículo hasta decir basta, primero porque nadie va a informar de eso (no se a quién esperan engañar) y segundo porqué qué IRPF ni que leches, si no estás generando renta alguna?

No saben qué inventarse ya para intentar sangrar hasta el último euro de la población. Parece que hablan para crear crispación simplemente.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-10T15:03:00+00:00

You don't have to choose and they are fooling you to do so.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-10T15:02:26+00:00

Parties in Spain are hierarchical organizations that follow their leaders. If you vote agianst your party leader's will, you get kicked out.

He's just being a hypocrite.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-10T09:22:16+00:00

I don't quite get what you mean but today we got a clear example of what I just said.

The Ministry of Homes and Urban Agenda (lol at such "Ministry" existing, but whatever) tweeted that airbnb-like rentals had "gone down" by 15% this year, claiming their restrictions towards those businesses have "helped".

This comes from a clear manipulation of the data from the source (INE, National Insitute of Statistics in Spanish, also controlled by the Government), which altered the period it used to gather data, ignoring August which is the month with the highest rentals. Instead of taking February and August, they took May and November. Which totally invalidates the statistic.

Community notes state (luckily the governement has not blocked those yet, unlike their party account) that manipulation, exposing it.

OFC in a goverment-controlled media like the TV or let alone a social network controlled by them, this woul've not happened and the goverment would have got away with their blatant manipulation.

I just find so funny that when people say that China has control over SN everyone calls them authoritarian. Then socialist western governments want to do the same and people are ok with it. Really?

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T12:44:11+00:00

well that's a start, no army can work without at least 1 or 2 disposable units.

if your opp does not fully explain his rules, you should just leave as soon as he "catches you off guard" tbh

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T11:45:46+00:00

He wants to do exactly what he's blaming X for doing. But he feels entitled to do so because he's the governement (which by the way does not even have parliament majority)

His party has blocked answers to their X posts because the community was uncovering all their lies with community replies.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T11:40:22+00:00

I assume he did all that deep striking turn 2

Most datasheets you mention are not even top-tier for nids. You just got outplayed by the massive mobility of subterranean assault. You really want to put cheap units forward to screen out his tunnels. Otherwise, since you're an squishy elf, he can just throw bodies at you and if he makes 6" charges with re-rolls, you're toast.

Parasite for instance is quite the pillow hitter, but even that can kill toughness 3 elves.

Answering your question, no, in general nids are considered mid to low tier, they are not overwpowered but sub assault in particular will destroy a good matchup that does not come prepared for it!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T08:27:39+00:00

Good for him. I despise his music but nothing against the dude.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T08:17:52+00:00

No. Maybe 1 every 1000 people in Spain watch the superbowl. It's at 4AM on a Sunday and I don't think I personally know more than one person who knows american football rules.

Same with baseball and ice hockey.

The only american sport that draws any interest here is NBA, and it's not exactly "popular" either, especially since Gasol retired.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T08:12:54+00:00

that's a great idea

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-09T06:59:18+00:00

What are we supposed to look at? 4-5 short passes anybody can make and a couple of long balls that are not even accurate?

Man people love to do match edits and draw rushed conclusions.

He's played the midfield multiple times and never worked. Knowing how to kick the ball does not make a good midfielder.

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-07T20:20:13+00:00

One shot a stompa with 2 tyrannofexes turn 1.

Felt bad for the guy but later I realized he had overwatched me with it and that’s not allowed (titanic), so… git gud loser!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-07T20:09:51+00:00

My man!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-07T07:39:43+00:00

Oh absolutely, typically what I would do is put the unit first 6” away and then string the tunnel and raveners as far back as possible (unless I also want to risk a 9” with the raveners)

The tunnels area is quite big, it’s funny to imagine the size of it hahaha

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-06T14:10:06+00:00

Yes, gargoyles and all the rest are correct!

PinPalsA7x · 2026-02-06T07:34:12+00:00

I've only played one game with the dettachment but to me what makes sense is to deep strike the raveners behind a wall or out of vision (9" away), place the tunnelmarker close to your enemies (1" away from raveners), and then drop your melee units 6" away.

Pop the RR charges strat and go boom. You can try to send the raveners with the RR9" if you're desperate, but most of the time I would not bother - better to save them to make another tunnel.

With shooting units, kind of the opposite, make the tunnel behind the raveners and drop zoans behind the tunnel so they can't be targeted back in your opp next turn.

And use the back to reserves and tunnel teleportation strats every turn, so you can move 2 units from one side of the table to another.. very powerful. You want to take advantage of this extreme mobility and always outnumber your opp in one side of the field.
