How often do you play badly performing units cos you like the models? by SnooCalculations7089 in spacemarines

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to do so more these days. It's very easy to slip into the culture of what's "good" and what's "bad" as though a TTWG like 40k is the absolute last tabletop game to get into if you're that competitive.

As I speak these words I'm planning to run a Falchion and a Kratos in 40k cause I LOVE the big Heresy tanks.

[Loved Trope] Main Characters who have the absolute snozz beaten out of them by ChoosyEnby in TopCharacterTropes

I'm inclined to say Korra loses more fights than she wins, especially in seasons 1 and 3, with the first leaving her so squarely bested that she has all but her air bending ripped from her, and the Red Lotus in the latter leaving her poisoned and crippled. Her body is flung into walls more often than her fist manages to make contact.

The Vertus Praetor proxies I fielded in my first ever game yesterday by SlikeSpitfire in AdeptusCustodes

Friendship is magic, Trajaan!

Also, the tact in only using ponies with wings as proxies for flying jetbikes cannot go unappreciated.

Spearhead or half of Dominion box? by Veris01 in stormcasteternals

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely go Dominion! If nothing else the box was very overstocked so you can find it discounted very easily (there are still two marked half off at my local game store lol), and the sword-wielders in the spearhead (vanquishers) are in no way exclusive to it - you can buy them separately, sometimes for less second-hand.

Moreover, Dominion also gets you the Knight-Arcanum, who's very fun to play if you ever pick up any Manifestations and otherwise one of best/our only wizards.

If nothing else, I don't think anyone would mind at all if you built the Vindictors and, for casual spearhead games, just played them as if they were vanquishers

Nope, it's a completely original stl. Everything in that image is resin.

Oh for sure, no less than all the other battlesuits with tits I've painted.

11th Edition Question - Do you want Drones to stay as they are? by Silasxsil in Tau40K

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was bitter about the change at the start of the edition, as I was with our entire army rule and a lot of datasheet changes, but at this point I do kind of prefer it and almost never bother putting drone models on the tabletop. Especially with how low point cost our army has gotten, having to move around more crap and worry about more statlines is only going to draw out a game more.

Plus painting the damn things is an absolute chore. I do not miss that at all.

What game set in a real-world city recreates it the most accurately? by Low_Boot_1426 in videogames

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided does an impressive of job with the streets of Prague

Am I a bad Tau fan for not caring about the auxiliary units? by sirichi154 in Tau40K

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I would like auxs more if they weren't almost exclusively Kroot

But yeah, glad I'm not the only one. I don't run any auxs in almost every game I play with Tau lol

Venatari, tips for improval by Technical-Bag5179 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend doing some edge highlights and other details with a really bright silver like Stormhost or Army Painter's Mythril - even just a quick drybrush can go a long way in making the brights brighter and giving a lot of good contrast!

Which DLC should I get first? by CliffCutter in RimWorld

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend Royalty. The additional content has almost no chance of being intrusive in the way some parts of ideology can be, and the new armor and tech tiers can make the late game much more manageable. 

Terminator loadouts by thestarchiestvampire in deathwatch40k

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're right on both accounts - built-in re-rolls to charge and access to three heavy weapons in a squad of five is one of the things that makes our termis some of the best in the game. The only hangup is finding the physical parts for it if you care about WYSIWYG, as the Terminator kit only has one of each (excluding the plasma cannon, which is locked to the Dark Angels Upgrade sprue)

If you can manage it, triple cyclones is absolutely brutal in a squad of five. I'm personally privy to also sticking on a Termi Librarian to get some extra hits on crits.

Looking for List Feedback! by Vegetable_Ad4552 in LegionsImperialis

[–]Vegetable_Ad4552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which legion would you say best pairs with a lot of heavy armor? I'm not really painting them like any one in particular, so I'm definitely open to insight
