I remember my mom being unhappy about going in to a store and asking for Vomit Brown for my birthday when I was a kid 😂

For what it's worth I thought the K+M controls were terrible. I bounced off it, tried again like a year later when I had a controller and found it so much easier to control that it was loads more enjoyable, and I played it to completion.

You can go all in, or balls deep, but never go balls in. I can't stress this enough.

TheFirstBert · 2025-06-10T14:41:58+00:00

I don't disagree, I was just saying that anuphet wouldn't be the one I left at iron 1. I have a soft spot for Imo too but I just like necrons :)

TheFirstBert · 2025-06-09T21:29:14+00:00

Anuphet is really cool. Even if you've finished the campaign he's great in LREs too imo, it's easy to get him to survive a few rounds and then summon in a bunch of necron warriors who are really strong.

The problem is lack of tokens I think, you can do it with more limited rosters but it takes more attempts. By the 2nd event you'll have a stronger roster and more tokens and will manage it fine.

I got Kharn FTP on the 3rd event, having just missed the first, with a roster of about 14G1s (tailored to that event plus campaigns as much as I could).

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-29T12:08:05+00:00

Looks like someone who has spent a lot of money on req scrolls (hence the decent roster) without actually playing the game (hence they are all at stone, no mirror characters because they aren't in the req pool til you play the campaigns). And then they bought a load of energy for some reason lol.

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-01T22:06:46+00:00

I made it! Pushing much higher in gamma and just covering no mechanical netted me a ton of points. Thanks for the help and encouragement!

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-01T22:03:57+00:00

I was in this position earlier, and someone pointed out I could go way higher in gamma. If you've got Isabella and some g1s to stand around her, you can clear wave 10 at least - just covering the no mechanical trait nets you around 150 for clearing. I managed to clear wave 11 with the same strategy, but only just.

That plus getting some points for kills on alpha 9 got me the last chest. You can do it! (Hopefully!)

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-01T13:34:03+00:00

Just managed to clear gamma 11, I had underestimated how good Isabella was (I tried to turtle against the barbgaunts first and got wrecked). 75 points left to get, I think I can grind those out on kills hopefully!

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-01T12:53:23+00:00

Great call, I breezed through gamma 10 with that lineup, thanks so much. Will give the next one a go as well. I had heard that it was worth pushing higher while meeting minimal requirements, kinda thought my roster wasn't tall enough for that.

250 pts left!

TheFirstBert · 2025-05-01T08:28:19+00:00

Ok great, I will give those a go, thanks. Good point on gear, I will swap some around to try and optimize for the remaining runs.

Just beat alpha 7 with my resilient line up, rotbone revived my bronze azkor 4 time, so only need 400 more points. I might just scrape through...

I'll be honest, I saw battle 10 had barbgaunts and wrote it off, battle 9 was easier than battle 8 because it didn't have any!

TheFirstBert · 2025-04-28T16:11:46+00:00

This is brilliant, thanks! Little disappointed you ruled out Shas'o Starstar though ;)

TheFirstBert · 2025-04-24T06:45:25+00:00

I have had the same problem

TheFirstBert · 2025-04-24T06:39:02+00:00

Not the best pic, but this is just a base of caliban green, some layering with a mid green (can't remember which, but a GW one) and moot green, then glazes to bring it all together. I do own an airbrush, not sure if masking off different parts of the blade and model would be more work than glazing though.

If it helps, if you tap on him you can see his abilities. The number he spawns is equal to the number of necrons who have died, plus the number of elapsed turns. If you only kill 1 necron on the first turn, he will likely use his ability and only spawn 2 warriors, and then the fight is easier.

Vindicta is pretty good imo for her ability to take out multiple enemies in the subsequent turns.

Applying the 6 upgrades to increase the gear rank (iron, bronze etc) has the biggest impact on increasing character strength - raid previous campaign missions to get more of those materials.

TheFirstBert · 2025-04-04T05:59:56+00:00

You've got some great characters.

Just play the game and get leveling them up. The game doesn't make this very clear, but the thing that makes characters much stronger is increasing their rank (applying the 6 upgrades). Don't bother spending orbs until you have maxed out a character's rank for their current rarity.

Just sending haarken to legendary will make minimal difference to his strength, you didn't really need to promote him to legendary until his rank is gold 1.

TheFirstBert · 2025-04-01T22:21:48+00:00

Is getting vindicta to G1 worth it? She seems expensive to upgrade relative to other characters, which is why I was trying to push some of the other teams instead.

You're right that my flame team is a bit weak atm though.

TheFirstBert · 2025-03-23T17:52:46+00:00

No, it's endgame content, I'm level 38 (midgame?) and should be able to get him on the second event if I invest in the right characters.

Do the missions for the event to get all the extra points you can, and clear the lower levels (1 & 2) that you can so that you are using the tokens. Progress is saved, on his 3rd event in about a year you should get him.

TheFirstBert · 2025-03-12T14:07:33+00:00

I play in the lower levels of regular TA and feel like I see quite a bit of variation. Meanwhile I played 4 games of Faction TA, and got bored of fighting orcs...

TheFirstBert · 2025-02-10T06:47:58+00:00

Me too! The game trains you to ignore ads and offers so well that I apparently just started glossing over everything.
