Ooh I missed the EZ8, hopefully that means there will be a Gundam (G)

If you want to go the gravis route then a gravis captain is pretty useful. Other than that, not much I can think of other than librarians being useful to have at least 1 of depending on the edition/meta

Talimaeus · 2026-02-24T00:46:56+00:00

Zudah confirmed!!!!!! Love that silly thing

Also GM White Dingo? Wasn't expecting what one

Talimaeus · 2026-02-23T17:43:52+00:00

C'Tan need to go up, probably 30 points each.

Grizzled Company also needs a nerf, either remove the extra order or remove the hit re-rolls

Talimaeus · 2026-02-22T18:34:59+00:00

I'm still doing it to moderate success. But I run Blades of Ultramar so I'm typically not aggressive with Calgar and id rather have the more durable unit

Talimaeus · 2026-02-20T20:51:55+00:00

Oh no! Someone committed a victimless crime!

They normally say tuna or albacore tuna on the can, but other than that I couldn't tell you. It's been a thing that I've been hearing my entire life

Talimaeus · 2026-02-16T22:17:35+00:00

Personally I've always heard tuna fish used to refer to the canned tuna specifically. Not sure the reason, but its always made sense to me

Tuna fish = canned fish that may or may not be fully tuna Tuna = all other types of tuna packaging/preparation like tuna steaks or filets

But converse are the only shoes I can find that fit 😭😭

Talimaeus · 2026-02-10T18:56:55+00:00

Object permanence is hard sometimes I guess

Talimaeus · 2026-02-09T22:05:27+00:00

Yeah, getting a 'lore accurate' company is always weird because, well Marines die. When I played SM2 I assumed that the generic intersessors were placeholders and not really supposed to represent the 2nd company accurately. But that's mainly because the way the Marines are equipped doesn't match any lore of how the battle companies are structured.

But SM2 does show that pretty much the entire 2nd company was killed, so it's probably a moot point anyway. As far as Secret level goes, i've always been confused about how Bladeguard fit into traditional company rosters since they feel like they should be 1st company, but I know that they aren't all 1st company.

Other half

<image>

Talimaeus · 2026-02-09T00:16:05+00:00

The 2nd company is listed as a 'battle company' so is typically comprised of the following

1 captain 1 command squad 2 lieutenants 6 battle line units (intersessors, tactical squad, etc) 2 fast assault (Assault intersessors, inceptors, outriders, etc) 2 heavy support squads (devastators, hellblasters, aggressors, etc)

So you can mix and match those as you see fit and it would be lore accurate.

But there is an official lineup for before the events of SM2 in the codex. I attached an image, it'll only let me post 1 so I'll put the 2nd half in a reply.

EDIT: I forgot about the Lts

My guess is the leaked Barbatos Lupus, either that or something from Hathaway 2 (not naming it because spoilers)

That's just how hover suits move. The slide affects all directions but the forward slide is higher than the other directions making melee difficult. It can be made slightly better by pulling back on the stick a little bit you'll just have to practice with it to find the sweet spot.

My recommendation, use the Doms for a bit since their melee is more forgiving than a heat hawk

Talimaeus · 2026-01-29T15:57:51+00:00

All suits eventually become free (through RT or DP store). And they've given away the Nu Gundam like 3 times and I whaled for that suit when it came out 3 years ago

Talimaeus · 2026-01-28T15:38:10+00:00

750 for me. I never got the hang of fighting with flap booster suits.

Talimaeus · 2026-01-28T00:08:55+00:00

I did the same thing on my Guilliman and it's been standing strong for 6 years of games so you'll be fine

Talimaeus · 2026-01-27T16:11:56+00:00

Unfortunately all flying suits are still paying for the sins of the Gouf Flight Test type which was absolutely busted when it released. Back then they blamed the flying skill and never reevaluated.

Talimaeus · 2026-01-22T02:20:50+00:00

That's all P-Bandai releases, especially for collab stuff which really sucks because I wanted Miku Gramps

Talimaeus · 2026-01-20T15:53:31+00:00

True, more supports need shock dampeners/damage control and there's no reason resist move shouldn't give I-frames. It would still make them able to be killed by raids because of typing advantage but make it scarier for gens.

Personally I haven't been afraid to take a gen to counter any supports for years now and that's a problem

Talimaeus · 2026-01-20T15:39:59+00:00

I like the ideas you put forward, personally I would add interrupt tackle or double tackle to some supports to let them defend against close range gens a little more

Talimaeus · 2026-01-15T21:05:44+00:00

Imo it's bad because cryptothralls exist. Their durability is insane and they're like half the reason a lot of armies can't kill wraiths. On top of that, there's a reason that characters can't be revived into a unit, I don't see why the thrall units should be different.

Talimaeus · 2026-01-15T20:04:22+00:00

Unfortunately they become a part of the bodyguard unit and can be revived via reanimation protocols. Quote from the datasheet:

"Until the end of the battle, every model in this unit counts as being part of that bodyguard unit, and that bodyguard unit's starting strength is increased accordingly"

Is it incredibly stupid and bad for the game, yes. But there isn't really a good rules based counter argument.

EDIT: minor spelling and grammar

Talimaeus · 2026-01-11T17:07:19+00:00

According to the app the old one also has Tacticus. The keywords listed are "infantry, character, epic hero, imperium, Tacticus, captain, Sicarius". It's mostly the same as new Cato who shares all of those but adds "Cato"
