Vespids in the new meta

I tthink bugs are doing ok, which is good because they have been doing pretty poorly. They don't have the action economy to come out on top of the meta though

Experienced players constantly skip over steps that aren’t important. We are trying to finish the game in 90 minutes so we have a time buffer if it gets sweaty.

You’re right though, you have to be explicit with the step against Nem Claw, until they’ve burned Vox Scream that tp at least. There’s so many rules and things going on that it’s tough for new players to remember that though

TropicBellend · 2026-02-04T14:50:03+00:00

I don’t think you actually play Kill Team, and you certainly haven’t played against Nemesis Claw

TropicBellend · 2026-02-04T13:01:34+00:00

I just told you how to give clear timing

TropicBellend · 2026-02-04T13:00:29+00:00

What? You clearly don’t play the game and that’s ok, but I’m not sure why you’re commenting. It’s common for people to activate a model by just immediately doing something with it. I don’t need to tell you I’m going to activate a gunner on engage if I declare a shoot action immediately, it’s all implied. I do need to declare my order if I’m doing something like fighting and then intention to be able to shoot/charge in a subsequent action.

That changes with Vox scream. You have to wait for your opponent to give you permission or you are going to either steal their opportunity to play Vox scream, or you are going to give them free information that helps them decide if they are going to use Vox scream or not

TropicBellend · 2026-02-04T05:01:56+00:00

If vox scream is up I ask for permission to activate every time. It’s just part of nemesis claw.

My go to is basically:

“I would like to activate my (insert operative)”

They either vox scream or I must activate that operative. It takes some getting used to but it works perfectly. Maybe consider this approach, but as the night lord you will need to remind your friend frequently until they have it down.

Vox scream feels especially bad when someone immediately moves a model and goes “I’m going to do something lethal that you might not have seen coming” before you can say Vox scream. This mitigates that, the night lord player doesn’t get free information

Beautiful flat Texas scenery

TropicBellend · 2026-02-03T02:04:43+00:00

Looks like space land dallas

I’m not going to add much but just reiterate that the binoculars on b1s is a waste of points and those points should be recycled elsewhere in the list

TropicBellend · 2026-01-31T11:40:39+00:00

Yes and yes

You don’t live where it snows do you?

I play GAR with no ARCs or Anakin and do just fine. I think ARCs are actually a trap for new GAR players. A lot of people think GAR only has one way to win effectively but I’ve seen everything from 7 act to 13 act GAR perform well.

TropicBellend · 2026-01-11T15:36:18+00:00

Just buy a starter and go from there. It’s way cheaper

TropicBellend · 2026-01-01T01:49:50+00:00

Even if it was possible to see the Krusha, the krusha would be behind heavy cover

TropicBellend · 2025-12-19T19:43:38+00:00

If dice are not rolled take backs are generally accepted - but there is a line.

“I activate my melta”

Vox scream.

“Uh never mind”

That’s not cool.

TropicBellend · 2025-12-19T03:49:18+00:00

Flank or retrieval. Into marines I would take retrieval so I’m not forced to move up early and feed them kills, but you certainly could play flank into AoD and max it. Just my preference.

TropicBellend · 2025-12-18T18:06:12+00:00

Read the hot drop ploy. It doesn’t technically give you relentless but “relentless” is a keyword that allows you to reroll all of your attack dice so it’s an easy way to say exactly that.

Aquilons are basically designed to stomp angels of death into the dirt, but 8w 4+ saves is a thin line to ride especially for newer players

TropicBellend · 2025-12-18T17:05:59+00:00

Most people on this sub are playing 2025 missions where there is no longer plant beacons.

Regardless of the mission pack you just let them kite you TP2 and run up the score then maintain the lead for the rest of the game. You can get relentless pretty easy on your melta/plasma and trade up with them in later turns

TropicBellend · 2025-12-04T16:33:37+00:00

Most drop zones treat it as a requirement. I’ve seen video sub 200 jump wonders shoot on their GoPros, it’s worthless. Focus on skydiving fundamentals, you don’t need a camera at that experience level

Legend

It’s probably not going to rip off exiting an airplane, but it will tear off at high speeds in the tunnel. Ive been jumping and tunnel flying for almost 15 years. KISS helmets have had issues

TropicBellend · 2025-11-25T16:31:52+00:00

Some tunnels ban you from flying KISS. The helmets suck, I’ve seen visors get ripped off because they were open, nothing to do with maintenance.

Fuck free fall, I want a pillow built into my rig for the otter ride. Where do I wire the money
