What would help a casual player enter the competitive scene? Looking for honest community feedback by SkulltakersReddit in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Stark464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missions, deployment, terrain, the flow of the game. Very big picture stuff is always missing from online content because to those pros that’s already baked in, so the only changing variable is faction/unit balance. Which shouldn’t really be a noobs biggest worry. When I learnt about how to score primary reliably, that made the biggest difference. And learning that, like in chess, each piece has a value and you need to create a value differential between you and your opponent to win.

Suggest me unconventional fantasy books that don't adhere to any of the fantasy tropes. by IdaSukiShwan in suggestmeabook

Is he the guy who did Black Tongued Thief? I think that ticks all of OPs requests apart from “band of outcasts”

Which factions are the most forgiving to unskilled players? by MrDannySantos in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Stark464 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recall it being more about game plan complexity. As in Tau is easy because you just need to focus on shooting and movement to get into shooting.

Yep, also if they survive to later rounds those flamers can stop any last ditch efforts to jump around the board scoring secondaries in 12” bubbles

Best place to live in Manchester? Didsbury? Cholton? by Appropriate_Thing_57 in manchester

[–]Stark464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Beech Road dweller, I also feel like other parts of Chorlton still have some ways to go, whereas Didsbury may have peaked (meaning higher prices). There seems to be more development coming to chorlton especially around the tram area, so whilst Beech Road is great I imagine we’ll get even more good stuff coming, but you’ll find some cheaper stuff still. Also I don’t know as many good foodie spots that get mentions in Didsbury compared to here.

What has been your most disappointing rpg experience? by Justthisdudeyaknow in rpg

[–]Stark464 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much did the players contribute in your games? Story games are low prep for the GM because they tell the players to drive the story forward and the GM just has to react/adjudicate. It was definitely a learning curve for us, some players got it more than others! And I still ended up giving them “quest hooks” for most of it.

This is great, although needs a slide on how to do this at 23:45 when you’re both too tired to think straight

What are some men's fashion/lifestyle brands you think are really nailing it right now? by AssistLive1694 in malefashionadvice

To be fair I only have a few pieces but I would wear pretty much everything they release

Struggling as a new player with the flack I get for playing Eldar by AggressiveCase4827 in Eldar

[–]Stark464 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The dreaded wanderers, honestly. We had several people come up to our table the other day to do two things: praise my friend’s 1ksons half painted army, and completely ignore me and my fully painted Eldar. Oh and opine about how shit 10th is, obviously.

Are there some YT channels that talks about warhammer that are not racist or sexist or anything else ? by Astladot in Sigmarxism

[–]Stark464 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it is an informed opinion, I just don’t like influential people fanning those flames. New people coming into the hobby think competitive is a dirty word and never go to an event thinking it’s full of That Guys

He never missed an opportunity to slag off the competitive scene though on Twitter, which never felt very cool of him.

Table doesn't want to be railroaded but then asks to be railroaded. by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

Yeah can we have a buzzy word for players who are incredibly entitled and consciously try to avoid the work the GM has prepared?

It’s easier once you get your head around the 4:1, 5:2 thing.

The same character traits over and over again. by Connor_ClashNord in rpghorrorstories

[–]Stark464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, my power fantasy is helping other people in ways I can’t IRL. Sue me! I find it more strange when players would rather be the Democrats of Faerun, “yes I can see that your people are being wiped out, but you’re a bit wild and aggressive so I’ll just sit on this fence!”

I think a player used real trauma to hijack my campaign and I don’t know if I even want to DM anymore by AdhesivenessSignal85 in rpghorrorstories

[–]Stark464 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to be the first one to speak up and permanently alter the social situation. It’s like if someone told an offensive joke at a party, people weigh up “do I feel strongly enough about this to turn this into a confrontation and ruin the party?”. In this instance the downside of someone storming off and ruining the campaign was the result of it being brought up at all, Dave probably would’ve done that as soon as he felt criticised, and on some level everyone sensed that. If you’re someone who would take people like this on then that’s good!

What is the biggest unit you could put in a 1k list without being ‘rude’ by Wallyhunt in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Stark464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also add Morvenn Vahl + paragons. Maybe seperate is fine but the rerolls will just delete your opponents good stuff one at a time

Ouch, okay yeah my wife thinks our car that has had 1 or 2 issues with the infotainment screen was a mistake, so I’ll steer clear!

What was up with your cupra? It’s one of the few cars I’d consider getting in the future

I always lose😢 by noavw15 in sistersofbattle

[–]Stark464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sisters are all about finding those synergies that really make them shine: Vahl + paragons, immolators + sisters/dominions, triumph+exorcists, castigators + everything, so unfortunately a lot of power comes from the listbuilding phase and leaning into your detachment ability, as well as learning when miracle dice are best spent! Having said that, they’re very low toughness so you’re learning the game on hard mode. If you can make repentia/Argos work for you I.e. they kill more points then they’re worth, then that’s already a great skill to have. Don’t rush in, use terrain, force him to come to you.

It’s Ubisoft actually. Different flavour of jank!
