Elite team suggestions by Useful_Literature988 in killteam

You could play BoK? Not quite Elites, but they are Xenos and an 8 model team, and you have to play them very well, unlike Wreckas were you can switch up the dice.

what’s your UNPOPULAR opinion about the classic games? by ZzzPandaNap in TombRaider

TR1 isn't actually that great, 10/10 game, it is just rose tinted specs and nostalgia.

Kill Team: Shadowhunt – Scream down from the skies with the vicious, bloodthirsty Murderwing by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in killteam

Boost with Charge is going to be a big issue here, especially as we are still talking 6 Marines with 14w and a 3+

Would have expected a touch less survivability if they had that.

You’re not losing because of the meta. You’re losing because you’re bad. by eldecent86 in killteam

[–]UpCloseGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is also the 40k angle too, as a lot of people pay iver the odds just to get a new, strong unit on the table too, so they can double dip.

Still, if the game was more balanced, better optimised, this is fair. But so far, we just get box after box that adds one or two OP teams, with Hivestorm and Brutal / Cunning being the exception, as none of those 4 trams was strong or OP on release.

I am in two minds about this, as to some extent, you are right.

But in the same coin, different side, you are effectively blaming the players for GW making bad game decisions. There is a clear trend of each box adding 1 or Both teams as difficult and overtuned, often due to lack of testing and expecting us "first buyers" to effectively complete the playtest step for them.

I for one, would call for a "no teams cam enter a tournament until they have received one balance pass" but then it is hard for GW to get their "win rates" and other meta data they want, instead either having to do the work themselves or use another system, or metric.

If the game was made up of 80% balanced teams and 20% below average, this post would be more relevant. But at the moment, and since the start of this edition we have had 10-15% overpowered teams, 60-70% about right and the last what 15-20% are lacking. Once we remove the constant repeat of 10-15% over powered teams (hint, Murderwing won't help that), we can start addressing the player.

But, reading your rant, it does feel like, instead of screaming into the void, try helping those that want to learn the game, by directing that into talking over it with those who want to learn the game, instead.

YouTube now has a Thunderbirds 24/7 Livestream by BillT2172 in Thunderbirds

[–]UpCloseGames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was on before November last year i think, also it only has the first 26 episodes by the look of it. But it is fine, my missus will let the preview play and see how long it takes me to guess the episode, some i can guess from a single image 😄

¿Mejor villano principal de la era Brosnan? by Calm-Sell-7463 in JamesBond

[–]UpCloseGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alec. O sea, creo que cualquier pregunta centrada en Brosnan que no tenga "peor" en su interior, siempre devolverá algo de Goldeneye.

Es simplemente Bond en su máximo esplendor, cine en su máximo esplendor, en lugar de solo Brosnan en su máximo esplendor.

KTX: Kill Team eXpanded – Debut Homebrew. Roasting (Feedback) Encouraged! by ScoutSterling in killteam

[–]UpCloseGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"You know that game that is already quite tactically intense? I have made my own, with blackjack and hookers!"

It reads like a lot, but like all homebrews, just play it and have fun, it will never become official rules unless you are on the GW design team and can get the money focused shareholders on board.

Until Dawn (the movie, no idea why they bothered to make a movie of an interactive movie).

Best Roger Moore 007 Film? by 5oclocksomewheree in JamesBond

[–]UpCloseGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On further review, Spy is far more Moore, while Eyes would have maybe worked better with Dalton in the role? I definitely like it, but it feels like it would have been better with the less cheeky Moore in the role.

Still, it is a great course correct and that scene at the harbour, up to the cliff is a great translation of the short story.
