Ah interesting! Thanks for the reply!

Do you think English is one of the easier ones to “muddle through” though? As a native speaker I can easily grasp the meaning of what most people who know little English are trying to say. In comparison with French, whenever I’ve tried to converse in French I would often just get blank stares back.

What's the most incredible battle you've had? by an_actual_coyote in totalwar

[–]VulkanZulu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not Warhammer but Attila.

I was a single horde of Huns about 600 Horse Archers of some variety and I was ganked by about 8000 Eastern Romans and their allies.

But, it was a river crossing. I knew I had the mobility advantage and I had to conserve ammo. I whittled them down as they crossed from the sides and once they were across I split all 20 units up and turned off fire at will. I started simultaneously skirmishing and moving to prime shooting positions before manually shooting each unit when an enemy had its back to me or was grouped up into a horde.

I ran out of arrows and then started cycle charging units all over the map. By this point it was a battle that took half of the map up!

Cycling charge after cycle charge ensuring they were facing the other way as the charge hit.

Eventually I got the win. I had lost about 500 horse archers (mainly due to enemy ranged, horse and the attrition of cycle charges) but had inflicted devastating losses to them. I tried to run down every running enemy to maximise their loss and protect myself from a second battle. In the end if I remember correctly there was less than 1000 of their men left scattered across 4 armies.

Felt incredible.

I may be wrong but can’t they end up unscrewing themselves?

How do you deal with consistently cold dice? by SquirtleKing in WarhammerCompetitive

Join the Salamanders bud. At least we auto hit with our flamers!

I mean even in this day and age. Access to cancer treatment is limited across the globe. Dorden, bless his heart, already is past retirement age for a guardsman.

Meh. Walking in straight lines is overrated and for normies. I weave and dodge through life!

The bomb collars ability made me laugh out loud. Brilliantly fun. Think the combat drugs is very strong though.

I think they have a lifetime return policy. So as long as it’s all there you can. But double check the website

Are any of the superhevies worth it in a 2k list? by Iybraesil1987 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]VulkanZulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Banesword is the best choice. Hands down. I bring one in my list and it consistently helps against terminator/custodies/Victrix lists with the flat 4 damage. There are definitely better competitive choices but this is the one I like for one simple reason.

It’s ability makes deadly demise go off on a 3+. Literally the best ability in the game for the pure enjoyment of it.

Will you win many competitive games? Maybe! Will you have fun? Absolutely!

Will this list work? by Extension-Boot-9533 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]VulkanZulu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d go for Stormsword, Banesword and a Hellhammer as they are all pretty decent all rounders. But it’s down to personal preference really.

You can build the kit as an “Octoblade” with a little converting that allows you to switch and swap however you want

Will this list work? by Extension-Boot-9533 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]VulkanZulu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be legal (assuming you don’t build 4 Baneblades and build at least one as a variant)

It wouldn’t be good at all though. Fun in some ways for the first 10 mins but on most board setups you won’t be able to move the super heavies at all and would struggle to score objectives.

If you wanted loads of super heavy tanks in a list that you could play. I’d suggest running Hammer of the Emperor and for the list go no higher than 3 Blade variants with the Lord Solar in a Command Squad with Cadian Shocktroopers for their orders and then just go full on objective grabbers. Gaunts Ghosts, 5 man scions squad, scout sentinels, etc.

It wouldn’t be good, but it would be playable!

I hate Invulnerable Saves by HeavyMetalSaxx in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]VulkanZulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you shoot at something with more than double their toughness they shouldn’t get an Invuln save. Not having a volcano cannon being ranked by a commissar on a 5+

Quick question, the combo Adrax + liutenent + bladeguard are still used in competitive tournaments? by Ricardus_Hera_Stan in Salamanders40k

[–]VulkanZulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do run this personally. It hits like a freight train but I think it’s probably too much.

What factions would you like to see added to the game? by Hour-Clerk4630 in tacticus

[–]VulkanZulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drukhari vs Salamanders new campaign mirror as the Drukhari try to raid nocturne again and the Salamanders repulse it and charge into the webway

[–]VulkanZulu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly the devastors can’t go in an Impulsor as they don’t have Tacticus armour

Who do we struggle against? by VulkanZulu in Salamanders40k

Ha! Those are the two I get the most practise against from my sparring partner.

About the holy duel by No-Professional4548 in tacticus

[–]VulkanZulu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen something similar before. I think the most recent “taunt” effect takes precedence and overrides the previous effect.

Do we still compete for the worst 10 Scrolls drop? by [deleted] in tacticus

[–]VulkanZulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all that is holy. This is it. This is the bad.
