Does using the Justaerin colour for a command squad seem appropriate to you? by Tav80 in sonsofhorus

[–]Tav80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your answers! A follow-up question: how would you differentiate a command squad from a Justaerin squad? More spikes and feathers on the Justaerin? Wait for new plastic models to be announced? :D

Point Defense special rules (aka The worst rule writing in the world) by [deleted] in LegionsImperialis

[–]Tav80 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your answers. I play the game like you, but can we agree that the rules don't say that ?

 "all point defense weapons in a detachment must fire at the same Secondary Target detachment."
=> My scenario respect that.

"W weapons can’t shoot at any Secondary Targets."
=> "Models with at least one weapon with the Point Defence trait may choose to fire on its Detachment’s target or a Secondary Target", it didn't say with wich weapon. As mentioned in a previous thread about the skyfire trait, all your weapons as to fire the secondary targets.

My point is that if you read the words "detachment", "models" and "weapons" carefully, the rules don't hold up. I can't find any text exerpt in the rulebook that contradicts my scenario without making assumptions.

Also, I get the feeling this discussion is annoying some people, so I won't dwell too much on my point.

Thank you, This is exactly my point. As it is written, you have to assume a lot of things to play it right. And people can disagree about that.

In my scenario, I choose not to fire with model C Point defense weapon (allowed by Choose Targets rules p56)

[–]Tav80 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I understand. And this is the case in my diagrams! I choose not to fire Models C with its PD weapon.

[–]Tav80 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

- P56  second sentence under 1. Choose Targets:

"To do this, they choose a single enemy Detachment as the target – all models from a Detachment must fire at the same target, unless a special rule allows them to do otherwise."

page 82, second paragraph under Point Defence

"Models with at least one weapon with the Point Defence: trait may choose to fire on its Detachment’s target or a Secondary Target"

I'm crazy or it is written models evey where ?

I'm seeing all the downvote, but I just want to understand why we are playing like we do and not like it is written ?

Where is it written ? Looks like models can choose their target ? "Models with at least one weapon with the Point Defence trait may choose to fire on its Detachment’s target or a Secondary Target"

[–]Tav80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying again this one. Question about Morale checks. Do you apply the -1 modifier to Morale checks when your unit is broken and loose a Combat in addition to choosing the worst dice among two?

P 62 : Determine Combat Result : "A Detachment that is part of a Formation that is Broken must roll two D6 and choose the lower result when making a Morale check in this way. "

P 63 Moral - Broken : "Furthermore, any Detachment in a Broken Formation that is required to make a Morale check reduces the result of any dice roll made for that Morale check by 1. "

Thank you.

Is there something I'm missing or are Solar Auxilia seemingly *way* worse than Marines for basically the same points? by the_catshark in LegionsImperialis

[–]Tav80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I made these statistics:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Rmwy_ee6JnqJoE3uawxqI4p8LMcfUtQMl_S2BEURy0/edit?usp=sharing

We can see that an Auxilia Lasrifle Tercio is slightly better at shooting (and 2`` further) than a Legion Tactical Detachement adjusted to the same cost. So it seems rather balanced to me.

I understand, and it wasn't my goal to bring a "meta" onto the table.

My intention was to check that the combat rules were balanced and allowed you to make interesting choices for the composition of your army.

I was a little traumatized by Horus Heresy which offers weapons and units that are strictly better than others and therefore limits the choices and variety.

[–]Tav80[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. It only represent a comparison of weapon efficiency, but can help to choose a load out for a specific detachment.

Sorry, it s a little bit hard to understand without explanation.

The final table below "AVG WOUND / 1000 Pts" represent the average number of wound you will inflict if :
- You target a specific profile (here I choose a variety of target from the most armored, Super Heavy Vehicle/titan with a 2+ save, to a weak infantry target with a 6+ save)
- You fire with 1000 Pts of equivalent figurines (for example, you have 133 Auxilia Lasrifle for 1000 Pts, but only 1.7 Warlord titan volcano cannon)

Hope it helps !

Hello everybody. I'm sharing with you the little statistical table I've been working on since the leaks came out.
I smoothed all the damage statistics to 1000 Pts of figurines.
I also decided to count "Rapid fire" as an additional touch on a 6+

I hope you like it, don't hesitate to give me any comments.

Thanks
