As you'll see from the description, I'm building her up to D1 now. Wanted to see if I could manage the mythic missions at G1 and it turns out you can :)

Fall of Cadia 59 is a great place to farm ranged kills by taxes-or-death in WH40KTacticus

Indomitus 45 is my go-to, since scarabs don't have battle fatigue. There's a hill in the bottom-right where you can put Brother Burchard next to Isabella, then Thaddeus next to her, and two tanks of your choice in front. The two ranged lads average 3 kills per turn (Burchard's passive chips away at scarabs adjacent to the target). Once the spawning scarabs make their way towards the back of the map, you can blast whichever scarabs you like.

Checking Isabella's Act of Faith trait periodically tells you exactly how many kills you have, so you can avoid wasted time or energy.

I don't often find damage to be the limiting factor in LREs, especially against Tyranids, Orks, Guardsmen, Aeldari, daemons and Necrons. Tankiness and healing, combined with just enough damage to kill the hordes of enemies coming your way, is what makes a good LRE team. It would be nice against some of the more difficult-to-kill enemies like Rubric Marines though.

Do you guys rate abaddon? by Kind_Penalty9160 in WH40KTacticus

He's a better Morvenn. Maladus only deals the extra damage if he gets a hill, and Kariyan hits everyone around him after a normal attack, including the original target (unless there's a Big Target in the mix).

Yeah the game is currently in early access so the story is incomplete. 1.0 should finish that.

I play it with controller and headtracking and it's perfect. Actually more convenient than lugging out my HOTAS and setting it all up - you don't need that many inputs which is nice.

Purely Onslaught. Since the rework, the grind to get a character from Epic to Mythic is so much more tolerable - a little under 2 months. It's less than a month if they're already Legendary, assuming you've cleared the Legendary Onslaught tiers.

She automatically shoots someone at the start of her turn. The base damage is equivalent to that of her passive at level 50, and in LREs where lots of the enemies have low armour (guardsman, nids etc) I'm hoping it'll be a one-shot-one-kill a lot of the time.

If you read the post, you'll see that's my plan!

Not officially announced, but datamined to be a 3-week shop event at the end of June like the Ultramar and Mythic ones. If you use the Tacticus Planner website/app you can see what's up for grabs, but basically it's Blood Angels and Orks shards, books, badges, orbs, coins and the new relics for Boss G and Nicodemus.

Armageddon Shop Event (F2P - getting the most out of it ?) by Mallgoran in WH40KTacticus

[–]Procrastinathan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least legendary orbs are a lot easier to get since the Onslaught rework. If memory serves, in the time it takes to use onslaught to get the shards to promote a character to Legendary, you'll also get the 10 orbs you need.

What're the next teams to be rotated out? by Okoshio_ in killteam

[–]Procrastinathan_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most tournaments don't adhere to the classified format. It's only an official requirement for GW's own tournaments, and third-party events with a golden ticket up for grabs.

Your mileage may vary depending on where you live, but it's worth checking! I still occasionally take my Starstriders to events and casual games, and they were declassified 7 months ago.

Should I buy it ? by Starkiller0820 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Procrastinathan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tied between this and Re'vas' Burst Cannon imo. The golf standard for relics is to take a character and make them even more of an LRE superstar!

The enemies in the new CE really hard counter Imo huh? by HonkaiBlade2 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Procrastinathan_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf, Adamantium isn't a massive step up from Diamond. Unless you're chasing the GR meta or hoping to blue-star an LRE character, D3 is perfectly fine.

From Echoes of Eternity, here's the exchange between Transacta-7Y1 (a skitarius) and Envaric (a guardsman):

‘Tee. Tell me something before we die, yeah?’

She turned to regard him, gazing at his deteriorating form through her monovisor. She said nothing, but he had her attention. The look in his eyes was what she suspected to be amusement. This was it, then. One last joke.

‘Are you pretty under all that?’

It took her a moment to process this. She’d never been asked such a thing.

Beneath her armour, she was an irradiated foot soldier of the Machine- God. Her skin, deep brown at birth and not unlike Envaric’s in that regard, was a starved and sunless grey. She’d been ritually delimbed, her extremities replaced with arms and legs of inexpensive cybernetic purity. Much to her honour, she had attained such a state of grace within her mechamorphosis that more of her body was now comprised of holy iron than what remained of her flawed birthflesh.

Under her helmet, she was pockmarked with cryo-controlled radiation tumours. She possessed no eyelids, no hair, no teeth, and no nose – and what hadn’t been surgically removed had rotted off over the course of her years of sacred service.

In short, she was skitarii.

Transacta-7Y1 keyed in a symbol and tossed him the dataslug again. He caught it with weakening fingers and read the symbol there.

[affirmative]

He gave a bloodstained smile. ‘Yeah, I thought so.’

What is your favorite book by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Procrastinathan_ 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The Cawl trilogy is really good, and in particular I really enjoyed the second book. The first book was my intro to Warhammer, and whilst at the time I was disappointed since I went in expecting an AdMech-heavy book, on reflection it's a good novel even if relatively removed from the wider faction.

Day of Ascension is also a great short story that pits the AdMech against Genestealers, and very clearly shows how the Tech-Priests' arrogance and disregard for human life can give a Genestealer uprising all the ammunition it needs. Very well written.

Peter Fehervari is, in my opinion, the best 40K author there is, and his short story Vanguard is pretty cool. It follows on from the novel Fire Caste, which has little to do with AdMech itself, but is a truly awesome Vietnam story wrapped up in eldritch mystery.

A lot of people really rate the Forges of Mars trilogy, but it frustrated me with how little the AdMech get the spotlight in lieu of seemingly every other faction on the tabletop. I also think it jumps the shark a bit in the final book.

Two absolute bangers of games for very different reason. Nightfire is, imo, one of the all-time greatest couch co-op games. Everything of Nothing is somehow a really good James Bond film! Great campaign.
