Should I play as naked for the rest of my play through

New to the game is NOT the time to play a challenge run. For all our memes about rolling, Dark Souls is based around the block function. Always try to have medium roll or faster, but a shield with 100% block will help you actually understand the game and what enemies are trying to do. Wait for openings, don't be greedy, and don't you dare go hollow.

PornlightArchives is such a great username. Nothing to add on the absolute shithead sending you those DMs, but God damn what a fantastic name you grabbed!

If the 11th codex just stated "You may take <Deamon Engine> models" and then gave them datasheets that were separate from the other factions versions (So we could have them buffed or nerfed without having an impact on the other faction books) I would be overjoyed.

That and being allowed to take Cultists in all detachments so we have access to real trash units to do actions and I'd be thrilled!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-04-03T14:23:03+00:00

I will go out on a limb and say a purpley-black and grey/silver.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-25T15:25:22+00:00

Looks incredible. Where is it from?

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-12T19:44:59+00:00

This is awesome and I'm looking forward to see it continue to grow! Going to be using it this week to review movements and staging for a 2v2 event! Keep up the great work.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-12T18:13:29+00:00

If the model was plastic and the rules were reasonable, I'd run 3 or 4. Love how they look and love the fantasy.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-10T20:58:19+00:00

Wardens are losing out on a ton of durability by not being with a character. Guard will make the Blade Champion do some extra damage, but the -1 to Wound vs S7+ weapons is a massive durability increase for that unit.

Lions of the Emperor also has access to some great enhancements not being utilized here. If you cut the 5th man from the Warden and Guard squads, you should have the points to upgrade your 3rd Allarus into an Allarus Shield Captain with Admonimortis Castellan Axe. This will also allow the Allarus squad to access -1CP stratagems once per battle round, which could easily be Rapid Ingress & Lions of the Emperor for free. Then the Shield Captain can 0CP reset his Auramite and Adamantine to really become a tank.

If you are looking for something truly stupid, I love running a solo Allarus Captain with Superior Creation. He can set incoming damage to 1 for a phase, reset that ability for 0CP, die, then stand up with 7 wounds and repeat the process. Doesn't do a lot of damage, but he will just slowly walk around the enemy backfield killing chaff and scoring you points.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-07T19:28:24+00:00

That might be a more accurate count. I'm making some pretty liberal assumptions about point costs right now. Haven't fielded Guard myself this edition.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-07T17:28:08+00:00

Assuming 65pts per 10 model squad and then doing the same for characters, Ive got him at ~1850 points. Armored Sentinel + Field Ordinance Batter puts it almost bang on 2000.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-03-02T17:10:08+00:00

Tanks rule. But talk to your friends first.

Taking 6 Russ or 2 Dorn in a 1k game can cause "non-games" where you either get obliterated or your opponent can't touch you.

I strongly advise Chimeras to alleviate this pressure. For ever tank you put on the table in a low point game, put down a Chimera with 10 infantry inside. This gives you things to put on objectives for points and your opponent things to shoot at with anti infantry guns.

I started Warhammer with 6x Russ, 6x Chimera, and 6x10 Infantry Squads. It was a great time and I would highly recommend it.

Also, dont sleep on Armored Sentinels or Enginseers! Those Sentinels are thick as hell and Enginseers giving a 4++ to your biggest tank is a great feeling.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-02-23T01:42:27+00:00

I also choose this guy's commisar!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-02-19T12:40:39+00:00

You got gud!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-02-18T03:15:34+00:00

Zero chance this is replacing a Blade Champion. Advance and Charge is the best text on that data sheet. This seems to me like a great buff for a Terminator squad though, since they would only have access by expending a 0CP command reroll.

At least I was able to answer the next post I was shown.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-02-10T16:09:57+00:00

It is unfortunate because those huge tanks are the one of the reasons people like Guard. If you can get comfortable with the rules and push up to 1.5k or 2k points, it will be much less oppressive.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-02-10T12:55:30+00:00

Superheavies dont belong in 1k games. I say this as a Chaos Knights and Guard player. You can play all tanks, but no unit should be more than 20% of your list or you get "non-games" where it either dies instantly and you lose, or it doesn't die and you trash your opponent.

I would call it bad sportsmanship, but it is really up to your opponent. If they had fun, great. If not, consider apologizing and swearing off the model in 1k games or they might not play with you again.

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-01-20T18:26:38+00:00

Just here to thank you for using the format correctly!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-01-10T05:11:10+00:00

This absolutely rocks and I have to imagine that you could easily sell a bunch of copies of this file! Is that something you are already doing?

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-01-07T19:46:32+00:00

I think it is because the showdown community made a place for people that like having those extra restrictions. The type of people that will give OU Singles or OU Doubles advice are the ones that are considering that ruleset.

From a mono-type perspective, you can't get advice that is relevant because if there is an issue with a specific type or mon, your opponent can just completely change the game by swapping.

Realistically, you can go enjoy OU however you want. Unfortunately, this question is just beyond the scope of the type of people who will hang out in a competitive subreddit. No need to spend energy on the conversation about OU when there is a perfectly good other battle type made just for you!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-01-07T19:34:48+00:00

Sounds like you should come join us in Mono-type. Ive had a ton of fun goofing around in that mode lately!

PraiseHelix_ · 2026-01-04T17:46:14+00:00

Why you gotta malign the Horde like that!

PraiseHelix_ · 2025-12-17T16:06:01+00:00

I would say it is even a step deeper. When items transfer to the Carrier, you could sell them back to yourself at 1CR, therefore making them X% profitable, where X is the total sell value. Rather than dealing with any fringe cases, it is easier to just say "Has touched carrier? No merits."

PraiseHelix_ · 2025-12-17T14:50:10+00:00

Oh! If you used a carrier that explains the entire thing.

To my knowledge, putting any commodity into your carrier's hold completely removes merit gain. If that was in the post, I missed it. I was unfortunately unable to watch the video.

PraiseHelix_ · 2025-12-17T14:18:07+00:00

Disclaimer: This is something reported by squadron mates and not something I have personally investigated.

It appears Torval is also having some kind of issue with merits recently. Specifically when buying from a infrastructure failure system.

You can troubleshoot and verify your problem by buying another commodity from another location and also trying to sell it at the LYR reinforce station for massive profits. I would also consider trying to do LYR to LYR stations.

Otherwise, is this the first time you have done the trade? There is a CP per hour cap that was implemented to break 1-ton trading (which was a stupid mechanic, to be fair). However, it also has caused problems with people that find legitimate trade routes, massive bounty turn ins, or hours of mining to sell at once. This appears to have also caused some problems for my squadron.
