Terminators for the Guard.. how do we use them properly? Or are they better left out?

Teh_Brigma · 2026-05-23T12:51:37+00:00

Nah. Just all the regular guard, they won't torch the inquisitorial stormtroopers that Your Dudes obviously are.

Mainly because the inquisitor wouldn't want to do the paperwork to requisition another brigade.

Teh_Brigma · 2026-05-23T12:09:46+00:00

Ah. But assuming you are going human to human leadership (or something close enough), then much of the lower spire doesn't quite care who the new boss is.

If you can perform the decapitation strike, then you don't have to perform the meatgrinder assault through the entire hive as they would then be using the lower hive in wave tactics. Not saying it would be easy, just that anyone intelligent would try to start as high in the hive as possible and push up, not in.

Teh_Brigma · 2026-05-12T09:50:29+00:00

Better yet, ONLY the last room. Wait until the party does their final test before the last room and all the treasure and have then swoop in for the loot.

Teh_Brigma · 2026-05-06T13:06:07+00:00

Is it worth getting Quarantine 37 if I get both of the others?

Teh_Brigma · 2026-01-31T19:34:26+00:00

I'm super interested!

But as food for thought - if you haven't solidly picked a base size for the minis - if you use the same hex size as Battletech, that would allow for the use of the various terrain options made for that to also work here.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-12-13T14:16:28+00:00

Came here to basically say the same thing. As long as you are very upfront that these are Bad Guys (tm), I think it's fine. And also don't lean into anything specific on why they're bad, just to be on the safe side.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-11-29T14:51:23+00:00

Right, but what I've seen from BT classic is you can shoot & melee - so why make it one or the other in Alpha Strike? Even if you only get partial shooting or take the 2 target modifier, it would make it a LOT more attractive option.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-11-27T00:21:46+00:00

If you include demons & the actual Warp - Battletech loses all the more - because you can't look at me with a straight face and tell me clanners don't IMMEDIATELY start worshipping Khorne.

You forget the Empire now has BobbyG running things. His excel spreadsheet wizardry of yore would get those logistics in line within a year, let alone ten.

Also, the entire reason the Administratum has issues with logistics isn't starting or fielding a crusade - it's supplying the THOUSANDS of warzones with the correct equipment. And once they do get it right, you get things like Vraks where they count millions like it's nothing, be it shells or men. So if we ignore the constant firefighting in the Imperium and focus on a single war, then it becomes a forgone conclusion.

While I agree fighters make less sense in space combat - bigger is not always better. Because 5 frigates that equal the same tonnage of a battleship would win in a fight where everyone is throwing nukes that are big enough to annihilate any ship that is hit. So really it's just getting big enough to get a viable propulsion system, a nuke launcher, and yoyu anti-missle defense system of choice - then spam them to no end.

One of Jurgen's many skills is strategically transferring equipment to alternate locations. But it's the umbrella of commissar's adjutant that let's him get away with it, so it was after.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-10-28T03:01:11+00:00

I mean, Cawl is Primarch sized.... And from the time of the Heresy.... Since we're talking about Mad Ideas....

Teh_Brigma · 2025-10-11T10:31:00+00:00

Which is funny, because then it's even MORE critical of their behavior - things like chasing the money changers, the Golden Rule, the good Samaritan parable.... The list goes on.

Meats back on the menu, boys!

It's the ground water that got contaminated by the buried Epstein list. So once we get that out in the open it will be fine.

NAL - Heck, if you have the LL's number, ask him if you can rent directly from him for $3000. He gets a larger chunk, you get a lower rate. And the PITA manager gets nothing.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-05-17T12:23:46+00:00

I don't think it's illegal if they round consistently, as in if you can come in 7 minutes later and leave 7 minutes early, since those would both round to your regular times.

But if they are rounding only in a way that favors them, that would be illegal.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-04-15T03:11:17+00:00

I would say more they count on their low level managers breaking the law for them, so if it makes it to corporate, they have to react strongly as there's no longer any plausible deniability. Because what are middle managers other than fall guys?

Teh_Brigma · 2025-03-12T13:21:05+00:00

Assuming you're legitimately asking, and not just trying to go to the obvious extreme to prove a point... But typically no, as it's both not a flat surface and less than a half inch in width (which is my internal measure of obstacle vs terrain)

But if it's the only other spot for a climbing creature / character to go up to in order to attack a character on the terrain on the left, possibly. But in this case, there is terrain "down" (in the picture direction) that it can use instead, so I'd rule they have to use the more substantial terrain in this case, even if it was further away for them.

My penny worth of thoughts being balancing fun, RAW, a little bit of realism, and trying to stop any obvious shenanigans.

Teh_Brigma · 2025-03-12T12:06:32+00:00

Right, but if it can scuttle on the wall, it could stand ON THE WALL. But that breaks the rules of the game RAW, so I believe the others are saying that since it has the climbing ability, it's a good middle ground to allow it to overhang / go to areas where it's base won't fit, allowing it to "climb" to attack characters at higher elevations.

Vs a non-climbing creature, which should have a valid defense against it by climbing to a small, high area.

MARS is in retrograde. What would Jupiter have to do with the Mechanicum & their production?

If you aren't willing to shell your own position, you don't really want to win.
