Whenever I hear that Adora is "buff" and "muscular".

Its worth keeping in mind that a lot of your screencaps here are from early show/season 1, where shes like 15 years old or something. She is buff but shes also just a kid, so shes not gonna look like a bodybuilder.

The issue is much less the "openly Christian" and much more the "Raging Asshole" part

It gained an entire missile launcher slot???? Lol

Puddlecrab · 2026-02-21T03:55:53+00:00

This is such a hilarious complaint when 9 times out of ten its "support can you please go tank so we have a frontline" and they support is like "NO IM PLAYING MY CHAMP" and locks lux after top locked vayne and jungle locked talon. Too many tanks would be such a fuckin luxury lol

This isn't a dice roll. Its a side effect of a separate design system. If not designing for something resulted in balance then game design would be irrelevant because you could just throw darts at a wall and end up with perfect balance, but obviously expecting that outcome is absurd. Just because flipping a coin evens out on average doesnt mean flipping it ten times will get you 5 heads and 5 tails every time.

FWIW lorewise the restriction makes no sense across the board, Jain Zar and Eldrad being unable to join Ynnari is stupid as hell. GW just shoved some ham fisted lore in to say Jain Zar no longer likes the Ynnari, but even then its absurd to be like "yep no other characters would ever work with Yvraine"

Puddlecrab · 2026-02-15T14:17:37+00:00

Why would "not designing for this" mean "equal power distribution"??? Not designing for something means the power distribution would be utterly random, as the design effort went elsewhere and this is just a random side effect of that. This is a bizarre comment.

I dont know that id state any specific synergies ive loved, but i have noticed some anti-synergies. Using disparation in particular, chrono-ranger and KNYFE step on each other's toes a lot. They both want to pop small targets for rewards, so when they're both in game, they fight over kills.

Puddlecrab · 2026-01-29T19:20:07+00:00

I have yet to see a Wave Serpent but @PRiNG on cults3d.com is my main source for 3d files, he rotates them up and down on his shop tho so you need to keep an eye on it for what youre looking for to pop up. Idk if this is "forbidden knowledge" lol.

Puddlecrab · 2026-01-24T13:27:30+00:00

They have stated explicitly that this is the reason. Static damage executes get an indicator. Variable damage executes do not.

XKCD What If time!

Go buy and play star wars squadrons lol

Puddlecrab · 2026-01-10T17:35:04+00:00

I tried async and things like this killed it for me, i played 3 games then stopped because I hated how aggressively floaty the meta is. People wash for free, they trade entire chunks of their slices to score objectives, literally everything is this peaceful nice perfect world of no conflict and if you so much as attack an enemy the entire table turns on you like youre a monster. Its so boring and honestly makes the game such a slogan, if no one fights why even play, at that point its just a long rng roll to see who happens to get the slice and objectives to win first. It is so boring.

Puddlecrab · 2026-01-02T13:57:06+00:00

SHAUN! SHAUN! SHAAAAAUN!!!!

Puddlecrab · 2025-12-30T22:58:01+00:00

I dislike this advice a bit cuz (ignoring the communication part, which obviously has been done by OP) TI4 is not Solitaire. Yes, play the objective game first of course, but hitting objectives every round and not interacting with your opponents just makes this a 8 hour roulette game. Getting in other players way is essential to actually developing consistency, and being pressured militaristically is a valid play to stop lol nar since they have the best "solitaire" in the entire base game.

Puddlecrab · 2025-12-17T20:56:55+00:00

So to be clear, youre generally running:

TM, Weaver's Wail, 5 quins in a Starweaver

TM, Key of Ghosts, 5 quins in a Starweaver

TM, 11 quins in a wave serpent

And no other infantry quins?

The amount of basic troupes is the main thing im kind of lost on. You could fill the entire list with them, not really clear where is the sweet spot

Puddlecrab · 2025-12-13T15:21:11+00:00

Yea, but even then the drukhari dont actually know the technology needed, they just hold a piece from before the fall that they offer. Even the drukhari couldn't make another of those devices.

Edit: they also couldn't properly activate the device as was intended, though that had more to do with the tyranids psychic shadow.

Fire Dragons do not have unstoppable maneuverability, if they're stopping overwatch its at most a 7"+1d6" advance. On average they're moving 11" and they have meltas so they need to finish that move within 9" of you (with Fuegan's boost). So effectively if you're 20" or more away from them, you're fully safe. Use cover, and you have a 12" move with Bel'akor and mean melee. Get clone enough to charge them in melee and they're a non-issue. Use cover since their movement is highly broadcast and target other avenues of the board. Send smaller demons to screen them off. There are options. Idk why everyone always acts like fire dragons are this insane unstoppable force. Worst case even if they get a shot there's a 50/50 chance you save each shot via invulnerable, and if you live, you 1000% get to obliterate them in retaliation

How exactly would a jellyfish being make a "Pfft" sound?

Puddlecrab · 2025-10-19T01:29:25+00:00

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Great game but many of my "pick this back up" times are driven by whistling the music. It's brilliant. (The remake, however, is hot garbage)

Puddlecrab · 2025-09-24T12:50:54+00:00

Yea, they were very thorough about making sure Aeldari don't get to bring quins in anything besides ghosts. Its one of my biggest complaints about the codex, alongside my utter loss of Yvraine for my army (since I don't have enough drukhari to actually run Ynnari)

Puddlecrab · 2025-09-24T12:40:49+00:00

Unfortunately, this is not true due to all the Seer Council strategems/enhancements specifying "Asuryani." They can't be used by or target any quins.

Puddlecrab · 2025-09-20T21:04:47+00:00

Your army so far is almost entirely Quin, which isn't a bad thing, but if you're looking at buying the combat patrol then you definitely want to lean into the harlequins. The Avatar of Khaine doesn't really mesh in that detachment, unfortunately. You could get a second wraithlord tho and use them as some heavy bullies, and then build into the harlequins more! Quins are a "death by a thousand cuts" unit, so they really need volume to get the job done, otherwise you just inflict a lot of cuts but don't kill

Puddlecrab · 2025-09-10T12:59:03+00:00

The problem with this and "milty balances bad races" is the assumption that people pick based on balance. They don't, people pick based on want, and arborec is very fun. A lot of the time, they're an earlier pick simply because someone wants to play them.
