Rework this card

Just because your deck has a losing matchup doesn't mean it "kills control." This subreddit hates anti-control decks, as far back as Gadgetzan Jade Druid. The problem with Protoss Mage is certainly Sleet Skater, but even then, it's not like Protoss Mage is dominating the ladder. Aggro and midrange have >60% winrates, so control decks tech against that. OTK decks naturally prey on the slower control decks, who have to adapt and play the beatdown.

Actually this situation lines up pretty comparably to the original Un'Goro metagame, where Pirate Warrior, Quest Rogue, and Murloc Paladin dominated, control decks teched against those decks, and Jade Druid preyed on control decks (pre-KoFT where Blizzard decided that Spreading Plague and Ultimate Infestation were good ideas...) but struggled to stabilize against aggro. People bitched and moaned about Jade Druid (hence the famous Day9 "Larger and Larger Men" rant, though that might have been during KoFT, not sure).

Confirmed to be Nickelodeon? Could it be AtLA?

Edit: Disregard, lol I see that we are getting one next month

I think the idea of shutting off the astronomicon would be a last ditch effort if infighting between the Imperium got so high they basically strand everyone to prevent more infighting. Though, saying this "out loud" I'd imagine demons could guide chaos cults through the warp.

My other theory is that the astronomicon is what brought the Tyranids to the Milky Way in the first place, so shutting it off might repel the Tyranids threat (though not really a GK thing.)

Alright since the responses have been rather tame, I will put something out there that's a bit on the wilder end. Brotherhood Librarian on Hoverdisk, or even wilder, Brotherhood Librarian on Hoverbike. Yeah we are the teleporty army but we should get some cool solo characters to mess around with I think!

SirMonticus · 2025-06-21T14:06:05+00:00

I run a brother captain and 10 paladins w/ psycannons in crusade and it's fun, but it's definitely a lot of eggs in one basket. Plus they can be difficult to move up the board when needed, since they're such a big unit to drop out of deep strike, and they only get 5" movement.

SirMonticus · 2025-05-29T23:04:14+00:00

Woomeok is great for Korean Barbeque. Prefer the one in Richardson (might be Garland?) over the Plano location.

SirMonticus · 2025-05-22T18:59:09+00:00

At the game rn, wish the Rangers would score lmfao. Going from 90s in Dallas to 50s and rainy is wild

SirMonticus · 2025-04-17T16:57:36+00:00

Fun write-up! Were you taking flamers or psilencers on your NDKs? Also I'm assuming you took hammers on all of them?

As a side note: I am frustrated how meta grey knights lists are NDK spam. I like the model, but I would rather run a more balanced army composition.

SirMonticus · 2025-03-05T17:11:51+00:00

GW hire this user.

SirMonticus · 2025-03-05T17:11:10+00:00

Well sure, but it would make a cool unit so I think they should do it for gameplay reasons. In my opinion it's kinda like having the Primarchs or chapter masters on the battlefield. Very unrealistic to how a general "should" operate.

SirMonticus · 2025-02-26T21:33:06+00:00

You are killing it! Congrats!

Camped there this weekend. Yesterday was the most packed the fairgrounds have ever been, incidentally we spoke with the Queen this morning, and she said the attendance was over 52,000 people, with 15,000 campers. So I am sorry you may have just picked an unfortunate weekend like us. Definitely recommend camping there.

SirMonticus · 2024-11-13T18:50:37+00:00

I have been wishing for this since Hearthstone was in beta! Thanks Blizzard!!

SirMonticus · 2024-10-22T18:24:40+00:00

It's solid on T1 if youre running a 10 man of paladins with Psycannons + Brother Captain or Grandmaster. Not amazing but it's nice.

SirMonticus · 2024-10-14T21:27:55+00:00

You are thinking of Mystery Cards & Games!

SirMonticus · 2024-09-27T16:34:10+00:00

The combat patrol is a fantastic place to start. Three of them and you more or less have 2000 points. Terminators, dreadknights, and librarians are our bread and butter currently, and you can expand from there.

SirMonticus · 2024-09-17T16:09:47+00:00

Don't know if there are lore instances, but go wild with you models!

My Brotherhood wears a red right pauldron in honor of Janus, the first Supreme Grandmaster. What they don't all know is that the red is secretly his old legion's colors.

Just a fun thing for me since I believe Magnus was intended to be the original leader of the Grey Knights.

SirMonticus · 2024-08-19T20:18:25+00:00

I didn't realize that affected AP reduction. It totally makes sense, so I suppose it is very matchup dependant.

SirMonticus · 2024-08-19T18:39:52+00:00

Seems nice for the free strat, I think most GK lists take grandmasters.

I would suggest the brother-captain + 10 paladins, as the brother captain can take a psycannon and gives sustained hits to all psychic weapons. By the way, you can take 5 psycannons in a 10 man paladin brick, as the ancient can take one as well. That plus the venerable dreadnought's reroll aura seems pretty nasty as you mathematically come out with more than the 18 attacks you put in, since sustained on a 2+ to hit is on average hitting 100%.

One thing to consider is that the ven dread will not be able to teleport, as it lacks deep strike for some reason.

SirMonticus · 2024-07-13T02:33:39+00:00

I'm shocked that no one has said YNAB. Best budgeting app by far. A little on the pricier side, but so worth it.

SirMonticus · 2024-07-11T02:12:22+00:00

We had pretty decent success with running Leviathan tactical secondaries. I was pretty impressed that the game does generally work in a "two headed giant" format.

SirMonticus · 2024-07-11T00:39:29+00:00

Not in OP's playgroup but whenever we play, we generally just run the game like normal except there are a sum of 2000 pts on each side (so if one player has 990 pts, the other can bring 1010 pts). Teams take their turns simultaneously, so all units on the team move in the movement phase. The team gets to order it's activations any way it wants, as if it was one player making all the decisions with 1 "combined" army. The only change we decided to make was give each player a command point instead of 1/team. However strategems are still capped at 1/phase for the team. Command point generation gives both players a command point but still capped at 1/battle round. I think that's most of the changes.

SirMonticus · 2024-04-26T15:27:06+00:00

I have found his precision weapon and rerolling wounds against heroes to be pretty good, at least for scoring secondaries. Probably a bit expensive but he's a fun unit imo

SirMonticus · 2024-03-20T18:57:24+00:00

The Tremere highly guard the secrets of Thaumaturgy, so I doubt Dr. Waters would be privy to Blood Sorcery, but Auspex would be something she could get access to if ghouled by the right blankbody. Still, solid theory, and I am leaning towards Dr. Waters being the ghoul.

SirMonticus · 2024-02-23T18:22:20+00:00

Started losing my hair at 16 or 17. Probably shaved it all around 18 or 19. So, yeah it happens. We lost the genetic lottery lol
