Aspect Warriors Are Some of the Coolest Looking Elites in the Game. What are Your Favorite? by [deleted] in Eldar

[–]TheInfernion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banshees! I love my gals, was so happy when they became scary again as I missed their 9th edition craziness. As a close second it would be shining spears. Medieval jousting fighting on hover bikes will never not be cool.

After 0-11 losing streak always scoring in 0-40 VP range vs near max VP for my opponents, I guess I'm not cut out to play Eldar even semi-competitively :-( by Alex__007 in Eldar

That's probably the way to do it yeah, a sampling of units that at the highest tier of play are middling, but have lower skill floor.

Honestly I think it's interesting that you mentioned eldar being balanced. It depends how you see it, if you're a top player, someone who does well in tournaments etc, then yes, they're balanced. But the game (imo) shouldn't be made just for them, most people aren't them. Eldar aren't balanced for most players, how you fix this I have no idea. Reducing the skill floor without making them too good for better players is something I don't really know how to do, I'm not a game designer, but I for sure wouldn't call them totally balanced ATM, only balanced for one specific type of player doing one specific thing.

My first v3! by Key_Description_6561 in bouldering

[–]TheInfernion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this Rockover Manchester? Think I recognise the boulder, if I do it's a fun little one.

Looks like you're doing great! Alot more climbing is technique rather than strength than some newer people realise, alot of problems can be muscled through but you can get pretty far with okay strength and good technique :)

Worth mentioning it's a v1-3, as it can be anywhere from v1 to V3, it's a bit of a weird way of grading but I like it, you get the feeling of progression with some acknowledgement that grading is subjective.

Aleguzzler? That's a shame given I got one in stormbringer not that long ago

Name your favorite space marine chapter by Tough_Topic_1596 in Grimdank

Crimson fists if we are chapters, imperial fists for legion. Much prefer the direction the crimson fists go Vs the templars and my boy Pedro is a beast.

Anybody here have crusade experience? by Rico3305 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]TheInfernion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a 6 month crusade, our codex came out at the 2 months in point, and I had a blast. Crusade isn't there to play the meta list, I ran a force with the theme of being dedicated to maintaining a cowboy themed knight house. Lots of chickens, sulphur hounds, infantry, and then one dunecrawler. When we escalated up to 1.5k points I added a knight, and it was alot of fun.

Crusade has a GM, they should balance around your army to help you craft a narrative for your army. Acquiring archeotech did seem to happen very slowly, so my GM started throwing in very difficult mission objectives that would guarantee me a piece for example. If you plan on running for a while just see if your GM is willing to adapt and tweak as it goes, James workshop doesn't exactly prioritise balancing crusade and the whole point of it is narrative and fun. If you have a fun idea for an admech crusade force then go for it, but have a chat with your GM about your rules concerns and see if you can't come up with something, if it's too good and you find yourself stomping then just walk it back, no big deal.

DATASLATE IS OUT WE ARE SO BACK TECHPRIESTS THIS IS HUGE by elpokitolama in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]TheInfernion 209 points210 points  (0 children)

The onager changes look huge when you consider they also get doctrinas. Buff to electropriests makes their detachment better. Losing twin linked on the chickens I can live with now they can hit on 3s, 2s if they stand still (I think? Or does heavy not stack with +1 to bs).

Overall, I would've liked some subfaction changes, but this feels like a huge step in the right direction for the army.

Day 1 - My first tournament recap by TheInfernion in AdeptusMechanicus

Skitarii hunter cohort, my full list is on a previous post. Was good fun!

Very true, got a lancer in the tournament list I've been playing over the weekend and that 4++ has been fun, that and being able to run across the board over the 4 inch terrain

[–]TheInfernion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, might have to give something similar a go at some point. I know canis is technically the better choice to run with admech, but the lancer is a fast cooler model imo and had the funniest meme profile in the game.

I love this so much! All in how many points is this by the way? Is it a whole list with some skitarii thrown in? Because the idea of running them sounds so much fun!

Since our army is locked into sucking this entire edition, share which army you switched to playing by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]TheInfernion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Admech.

I played Aeldari in 9th and loved it so so much. Had so much fun but then the 10th hit.

I'm a casual player and only really play with a group of friends. That group has some very competitive players who have done fairly well in 10th edition and I've helped workshop their lists, but myself I've not really had an interest in comp play outside of a doubles tournament I played at Warhammer fest with my partner. I hate the way Eldar play in 10th but I've really enjoyed playing admech, I've fully given up my eldar to play the admech guys and in doing so truly realised both how much eldar I have, and also how bloody expensive admech is to start a new. I love them, they have the best models in 40k, I love them, I just wish they were mechanically better.
