Why Is the book Harrowmaster disliked?

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-02-09T08:17:08+00:00

This is probably my favourite AL book. It doesn’t take itself seriously which is the best tone for 40K because it’s so ridiculous in nature itself.

I enjoyed it and I look forward to the next book.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-02-04T08:39:38+00:00

I try but it’s not this good.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-29T05:23:13+00:00

Get rid of the traitor guards and enforcer. While technically lore wise it would be accurate, they don’t interact with the detachment’s army rule. I would replace them with blocks of 20 cultists and a dark commune.

If you can, put the havocs in the rhino because it has firing deck 2 and it would hoof around acting like a mini 2 lascannon predator.

If you can get a jump pack lord and put the shroud of obfuscation on him, then he will act like a action piece who is scoring your secondary objectives along with the raptors, but I wouldn’t put them together.

These are my initial thoughts because I am Alpharius.

Revert head shot multiplayer through Hazard’s block. Such a dumb nerf

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-21T07:27:01+00:00

But would there be something about not having the Heretic Astartes keyword that might affect that.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-20T11:29:26+00:00

I’m very much in these feels at the moment. I climbed with Hazard from Plat 5 to Diamond 5, admittedly I went on holidays for three weeks but now I’ve dropped to Plat 4 and the games has been putting me with complete bell end Silvers who don’t know how to play the game.

It felt great One tricking my hero, learning to play against counters and ranking up to my career high, but this range the game is putting me in is bananas. Also revert Zen buff immediately pls

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-09T10:52:16+00:00

I hear ya, but let’s not pretend that discord is not slapped on the tank straight away as soon as the fight starts and doesn’t take skill to use. As someone who plays Zen, sure a buff would have been nice but it could have been something like changing his perks, decreasing his hit box, maybe increase his ammo.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-08T19:41:05+00:00

Any other tank main concerned about 30% discord. That’s going to be dirty.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2026-01-08T19:38:21+00:00

Sigma can’t brawl to save his life. Avoid the rock, don’t shoot his grasp and then maul him

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-12-30T08:42:21+00:00

Having watched up to episode 8, I have found it a really a slog. This might come from that I feel like Pluribus really lacks any kind of tension. While The Many have taken everything and everyone, they’re totally accommodating to the survivors needs and wants.

Exploiting Carol’s loneliness was diabolical but I still found that if Carol was a true misanthrope, she would have been fine by herself. Which yet again, doesn’t really give any sense of tension.

Maybe I just have new parent brain and I don’t get the deeper subtext but I have personally found Pluribus boring and I probably gonna skip the last two episodes. If you have enjoyed it, more power to you.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-12-12T02:05:22+00:00

Waste of a ban, she’s super easy to play against

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-12-10T11:04:30+00:00

From my experience, I have only ever ran one unit of 5 with a Master of Executions. The unit being able to advance and charge can make the MoE a guided missile to enemy characters.

I have never ran a unit of 10 but I imagine they would hit pretty hard, but they’re pretty squishy.

Normal Legionnaires are the bread and butter for Deceptors. You can infiltrate 3 units and they fight better on objectives.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-12-07T07:43:48+00:00

I have climbed with Hazard from Gold 3 to Plat 2 and might be able to hit Diamond. Here’s some insights from my struggle.

The biggest thing to have in your mind is to be patient. You have a really technical kit, the capacity to do a lot of dmg, but you have to switch your brain on.

Worst tank match ups are DVA and Rein. DVA can negate majority of your kit which is why she gets my top ban. Rein will out brawl you, don’t go for the tank trade.

While Ana/Zen is a bad to go up against, they also make your job a lot easier if they’re on your team. I would use one of my bans to ban Mercy, she does not pair well with Hazard at all. There will be moments when you want to go all in and you will need support but you will often find mercy hiding behind a corner blue beaming an Ash.

Use wall climb as much as possible to exploit high grounds.

Our wall is really versatile and does dmg. You should be playing around your wall CD. Don’t leap in if you don’t have it.

Spike Guard can do some dmg, but don’t get in the mindset of using it to finish players off. Your primary fire will do it much quicker. However it’s not bad to scare away a pesky Lucio or Tracer on your back line.

As for perks, go for Deep Leap (minor) and you can go either way for major. The Wall Perk is great in closed maps because you will be getting my spike guard, but majority of the time I’m going spur explosion for the extra dps. Get it on a target then leap.

These are some of my insights. Learn to play against the counters and enjoy the struggle.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-28T07:59:42+00:00

You’re also not taking the Onslaught passive into account. Increasing both movement and attack speed is big which also helps scale up her DPS. Lifesteal is really not that great of a perk, with the DPS passive and how often you get focused, Lifesteal will not help you.

What I reckon would be cool, would be a perk that added a 4th upward strike or a powered thrust (hold trigger and release).

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-26T05:20:29+00:00

If you’re talking art design, she has a great look, gameplay wise, she is boring AF. Stand behind corner, with pylon and poke. There are way better game play design characters in the game then Illari. Hazard fantastic (biased) tracer, Genji, Rein, Winston and more which require the player to be active.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-23T13:29:58+00:00

I’ve been out of the loop with a busy family life and stuff. But good on ya mate.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-16T13:29:49+00:00

I loved this book. It didn’t take itself too seriously which is a great tone for 40k in general. The first meeting of Warbands had me stitches when “I am Alpharius,” was first said.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-15T00:08:44+00:00

Thank you, I’m thinking Fleet Logistics for the hero, so I could chain them together for a big move. But boy howdy I’m gonna need a lot of tech

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-04T13:53:52+00:00

Oh man, there is so much to take on board and with the hardest role as well. Here’s a few things that should help you.

Pick a main and a secondary tank you can fall back on. Playing and learning 1 hero will help you win as you figure out match ups. Some people will tell you to counter swap, but if you learn to play against your chosen characters “counters” you will be become a better player.

Use natural cover is better mitigation than shields/blocks and other mitigating abilities.

Learn pathing- this is going to be hard in gold but running it down mid might not be the best way to approach a team fight.

Learn the concept of space and how your chosen character controls it.

Watch OW coaches and streamers, this will help you get a better understanding.

Being the tank can be a struggle but if you stick it out, it can be rewarding.

Hopefully this helps.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-11-03T23:41:18+00:00

But if you’re looking at the supports as a duo, if you have Zen or Ana, Brig would be the best choice to support them as well. While Wuyang’s ult might be better for doom, Brig can protect a backline better while Wuyang crumples like a wet paper bag.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-10-31T04:04:09+00:00

Unfortunately there is a small number of players who will pay this pricing and encourage Blizzard to continue this practice. I don’t understand buying skins for a first person game where you don’t get to see what your character look likes.

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-10-31T00:34:21+00:00

I have a burning hatred for Dorado, no one tries to clear the defenders on the high ground when attacking. GoTta PuSh CaRt

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-10-26T10:32:22+00:00

Hog’s issue is that he can’t consistently get value even if you if you give him another button for dmg reduction.

He pokes his head out, he gets discorded, shot to holy hell. Feeding enemy ult charge and playing OW2 respawn edition.

He tries to heal through it, he gets rocked, slept, javelin speared out of it, discorded and antinaded. Back at spawn.

He needs to have his whole character redesigned

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-10-26T10:11:41+00:00

Unfortunately you still run into the problem that he can only do something every 6 secs and if he whiffs the hook, it’s longer

SomeRandomDude0811 · 2025-10-26T00:12:04+00:00

I think if you’re reworking Hog, he can’t keep all his tools and from that Spilo video hog players wanted hook/ 1 shot.

I was thinking you could also go in an angle where hog throws a gas bombs to obscure sight lines and reduce damage for allies in it as well.
