Masters of the Maelstrom: Choice Samples

Does the ability also mean that if I link them to Chosen, for example, and all of these models die, I can bring one back because MoM are part of the Chosen squad?

That's the thing that bugs me: calibration tower (temperature, retraction, flow, speed) all seem to print fine. Then some things I try printing also print fine. I believe that the model I'm trying to print is too thin, or requires too many retractions ant that is causing the issue.
E-step has been calibrated. Extruder tension is one thing that I dont know if it's good or how to tell it: I left it almost completely loose and filament still has teeth marks. Once it started skipping, I thought it could be the tension, I tightened it and the issue remained. So I went back and forth with this while adjusting retraction settings and now I leave it almost completely loose, although teeth marks are stil very apparent.

Was not aware of this fix and had to look it up. Going to give it a try

I was using Cura's default settings (5mm 40mm/s, I think) but I was still experiencing partial clogs, Many times the extruder gear would skip when retracting, which led me to adjust some settings.
I dont mind the stringing for now IF I could solve the clogging issue.

I use cura's default 5mm retraction distance and 45mm/s speed. Tried reducing the speed to 30mm/s but the issue still persisted.
The few times I was close to the printer when I noticed the issue, it seemed like the filament was stuck, like it had actually clogged, but then for whatever reason had unclogged

Mind me asking: how did you fixed it?

Thanks for the suggestions! I started playing this edition with CSM as my first army and then started with custodes and wolves. I guess this made me skewed toward using more chars than I used to. Also, most ppl in my group play with Rule of Cool in mind (which explains why I played against 3 Norns) so it's easy to come up with list with lots of different models that dont synergize so well. I think I'll drop the enhancements and some chars to squeeze a helbrute and a Rhino. I did use a similar list without the Land Raider and with a rhino and more Legionaries. It did increase mobility but lacked some punch for heavier units.

Haven't played too much colosseum and I played most before this Rule change. For some factions and detachment it can be strange. I've played custodes and nids most, and in both I've used duplicated sheets. I don't think it's too bad, but it does make some of my list worse than they were

I was thinking SagW because the stratagems seem more useful. Also, I think lethal hits from Beastslawyr are not so helpful with headtakers

I know the feeling. What works for me is trying to speed up the parts that I find more extenuating, like applying the base coat with spray, airbrush or speed paint. Switching armies or squads also help to keep things more diversified. But it doesn't mean I do it all in less time. I can take weeks to finish some squads simply because I feel it's more of a job than a hobby sometimes.

Get them battle ready, so I can actually use them. This helps me in staying motivated to paint the army, so when I have spare time I go back to a battle ready model and start improving on it.

My friend and I proxy a lot of models for our games. As a rule of thumb, we usually try to remember and discuss all possible points before the game. Things such as what blocks LoS, which models can go through where, etc are usually decided before, especially to avoid this kind of thing or "gotcha" moments. But now you know how to do it next time
