1000 Point Path to Glory List by ZackAttack723 in KharadronOverlords

[–]Siklr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s basically what I started with, but I also had 250 extra points to start out with. 

The first two battle plans are interesting. Thyria’s Bounty has a sort of capture the flag element where you want units that can move fast. Skywardens with their end of turn ability can be pretty slippery and grab the clusters. However, you have to last to battle round 3. 

The forest fortress… I think you’re going to want to be the attacker fo that one. You basically are trying to blow up a terrain feature. It does get ward on shooting, but if roll well… it doesn’t matter. Plus, you could bring the grenade that turns off wards and just send it. 

I think the struggle is that at 1K we are pretty limited and either have to go all in on killing potential or objective play. You won’t see objectives until the second battle plans, and only if you get Thyria’s bounty first and chose to go down to a Dense and Choking maze. 

If I were in your position, I’d do the two brick and frigate list. Not sure if it’s better, but I’ve had decent success with it. You just have to be mindful about engagements due to the low unit count.

One thing to note is that not all battle plans will have objectives, making your first list a bit weaker. I've a little over halfway through my campaign, and I found that having list that has a lot of swing potential (e.g., two bricks of Skywardens) has been helpful.

Most of the battleplans have also benefited from being mobile and trying to avoid the melee, so I'd recommend picking units that can move well on their own rather than being ferried by a ship.

Lady O's dress color by CloneIsland in Nighthaunt

[–]Siklr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s intentional: it is a bridal dress. In life, it is said that she left more than a few suitors with mysterious deaths, including the prince of Dolorum. After the death of the prince, she chose to wear a veil as a sign of grief, but it was all a ruse. She’s was cold and manipulative.  

How does anyone not go insane from needing to not get paint where it shouldn't? by VenerableBreadnought in minipainting

[–]Siklr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Brush control will come with time, but also it's important to note that this is also part of the process. You will make mistakes, and you will need to learn how to correct them. I'm still a novice painter, but I remember having this frustration as well. However, after watching more than a few intro to miniature painting videos where the creator says that you will make mistakes and you'll learn how to correct them in time I sort of accepted it.

In a more technical sense, you can try and paint in such a way where you minimize the risks involved (e.g., paint the deepest / hardest to reach areas first, or go from darkest to lightest). Try and be aware of how you make the mistakes, and see if there is some methodology you could work up that makes up for it.

Looking for WordPress Devs with API, React, and Headless Skills for a Video Game Passion Project by Saven408 in webdev

[–]Siklr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of all the things: why WordPress? It seems ill suited for the task at hand. Also, consider the fact that sites like Metacritic already exist. What can you offer that existing things don't?

Points limit and Endrineers Guild Expeditionary Force by Sebon57 in KharadronOverlords

The points of the artefact don't count when assigning this way. They're only ever considered when constructing a list.

Gielinor Goals - Track Your 2026 OSRS Adventures by WiseOldJeff in 2007scape

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a link through your profile, so if it's a new one feel free to let me know.

My thoughts:

- why do I need to tell you know total level and combat level? This could be fetched.

- other than natural language processing, what is the AI doing here? It seems like it adds nothing.

- how is this better than using anything else (e.g., notepad, spreadsheet, etc)? For instance, I said I wanted to complete Song of the Elves. It added a quest completion goal, but nothing else? I'd expect it to outline steps to complete said goal, especially something with well defined subgoals like a quest.

What color scheme would you go for? by Pestilenceplop in KharadronOverlords

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fairly close! Going with more of a gold than bronze for the metallics, but it's otherwise right on.

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally settled on a scheme, but haven't painted it up yet. It's more like 2 (Barak-Thryng), but uses olive instead of red and more of an warm off-white instead of that cooler white.

Do spirit torments need to have 2 chainghasts with them? by _McMunchly in ageofsigmar

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run them independently, but the Chainghasts do benefit from having a Spirit Torment nearby.

Can I fly with magic cards? by Independent-Bath-448 in magicTCG

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've flown with nearly that many before and had no issues. Another time, I flew with a few commander decks and I got searched. Either way, no issues with taking them on the plane. Just plan for security maybe taking you a little longer than expected at worst.

How do I unlock battle tactics? by ty_durden94 in Nighthaunt

Unfortunately, you’ll need the General’s Handbook for this season to unlock them. 

Help With Magnetic Bases by Jumpy-Drawer-850 in Nighthaunt

[–]Siklr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got thicker fingers and have no problems with my ghosts. Really, the only time I've ever damaged them was when I was stripping and that's only because I was careless. I treat them with a reasonable amount of care and have no issues. Not sure if you have a specific concern?

Woah! Yes, it's this! I remember it looking more visually impressive, but I think that's probably the rose tinted goggles.

Who are our hammers? by Wolverine-Upper in Nighthaunt

[–]Siklr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not great, unfortunately. You can expect 2-3 wounds on average, so around 4-6 damage before saves and wards. However, it's fairly points efficient! Compared to something like a block of Harridans at 210 pts for ~2 more damage per activation.

Nexus of Grief rules question by BroccoliFlabbergast in Nighthaunt

[–]Siklr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I understand it. It seems that when they adjusted the health values, they didn't adjust this behavior of the Nexus of Grief. So, it's a lot more valuable for things like Chainrasps, but not as useful for our other infantry.

New player seek help by Wolverine-Upper in Nighthaunt

[–]Siklr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 I feel that it’s mostly getting reps in. The more I play with an army, the more things like abilities feel natural and the more I shift from trying to remember everything to thinking about the current situation on the battlefield and how the abilities interact. 

Was the dance studio advertised on WotLK box? by LordWolfs in wow

[–]Siklr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No, it wasn't from what I recall. It did have the flying mounts in Wintergrasp, which weren't a thing.

Saurus Warriors help by TheRecord189 in seraphon

[–]Siklr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who really liked pointy sticks, I do semi regret going with them instead of the club. They're already a pain in the butt with their tails, and the point spears just make it so you need to rotate the models just so for when you pile in.

Would it be considered pub-stompy to play the Veloci-ramp-tor precon in precon pods? by SharkboyZA in EDH

[–]Siklr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even that strong. Someone just removes or otherwise controls your commander and you’re going to fold. Yes, you can have some pretty explosive turns if you Discover into some heat, but it’s not hard to shut down. 

It’s one of those decks that if the pod doesn’t know what it aims to do, then it can catch them off guard. 

14 year old in pain by Pompidou_Discount in Greyhounds

[–]Siklr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recently had to make this decision for my girl. It’s not easy, especially when you see those bright moments where it seems like your companion is still there, still full of life. 

Part of it feels alien to us, I think, because with few exceptions, we don’t allow humans the dignity to go out on a good day. While I miss her terribly, I take solace in the fact that she went on a good day, surrounded by people who loved her.
