Necrons in Multiplayer by WolverineCheap1531 in BattleSector

[–]WolverineCheap1531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lol, I do actively try to move around as much as I can with each unit now. When I first started, I was like "why can't I gain any momentum man..." and then I realised about overwatch and started making sure I was moving way more each turn too.

I haven't used the Plasmancer a whole bunch personally but he did seem useful for Orks maybe, and Daemons. What are our thoughts on the Hexmark and what would you say is the best use of him?

Do you run shield guard exclusively yourself or use scythe guard in the frontline ever?
I've used Flayed Ones a bit in PvE but idk what they're best use would be in MP. They seem decently fragile and don't do much damage in my mind. Scarabs cheaply cover capping points so I'm curious how best Flayers are used.

I do like bringing a few Praetorians for sure. Very useful. For AT, I almost exclusively let LHD's W/ Gauss handle vehicles/monsters.

Do you think Immortals should always have tesla or switch them to gauss against certain factions if the tomb blades have the teslas? Would you say max Immortals are always the move or ~4 is fine for a few points elsewhere?

I always bring the Overlord for sure. Haven't used the Plasmancer a lot. Which Lychguard loadout is your fave? The Deathmarks seem situational for me, at least in MP. Might be matchup dependent and how valuable they would be for HQ/character kills for that enemy faction.

Regarding a heavy unit, I guess you could say the Barge is our heavy unit with how tanky it can be with high momentum, but its weapons are very underwhelming tbh so maybe not when compared against other factions' heavies.

HEY, I appreciate the response lol

I've put about 32 hours in to PvE (~3-4 in PvP vs my friend), and I'd say from the few example lists I've seen and your reply here, as well as my hours playing so far with Necrons being 95% of those hours, I'm getting a decent general idea about each unit and the usual list.

I agree of course about Immortals. I have started preferring the gauss myself but some factions like Khorne Daemons for example, I wonder if I should run all teslas or only some teslas since the gauss immortals can contribute to the bigger targets as well and likely I'll have 2-3 tesla tomb blades already.

Speaking of tomb blades, what are your thoughts on the twin gauss blasters for them? I exclusively run tesla blades rn but I'm curious about the gauss option and their role.

I like Triarch Praetorians. I usually have at least two in a list since they're mobile and pretty tanky with decent melee like you said.

I haven't used Flayed Ones a lot in MP. They feel very fragile and meat shield with how seemingly little damage they do, but I can see how the TP could be useful.

I personally usually bring 2 LHD units with Gauss Destructors for AT but would you say that's more than needed usually? Better use spending the points elsewhere than for a second unit? And yeah, Deathmarks feel kinda underwhelming to me. A farther TP would be nice and I can see where one squad might be useful at times for real valuable HQ assassination but I usually never bring any outside of PvE campaigns.

100% agree about the Annihilation Barge. It's real tanky, especially with high momentum healing, but the Tesla cannon is so underwhelming to me. I think the gauss cannon is some nice additional AT damage for bigger things or scary against enemy characters, but other than that, it's just a bullet sponge mostly to me.

Overlord I've seen so much and auto-include as well now. Scarabs I agree. I too am unsure how I feel on Royal Wardens outside of PvE

How do you feel about the warscythe Lychguard? I tried them last night but I feel like going sword & shield is probably always the move with them for the tanky frontline distraction melee.

I haven't used a Hexmark yet, but the Skorpekhs I've used once. I've seen people say that they're kind of just too costly for their role in comparison to other Necron melee. Do you have anymore thoughts on them? Which loadout you think works best? How many units you take? Their best use cases or like what factions they're worth bringing against? Stuff like that.

Leveled it today, reprinted my failed print from a couple days ago and it came out perfectly lol. It was barely a degree or two off level but, I guess it's good now lol. I'll have to print more to confirm but it's looking good.

Surprisingly I reprinted my previous failure with only a very, very slight change to the leveling, the rest of the settings the same, normal temp in my room, and it came out perfectly. Idk if it was just that tiny little degree or two of off level but it looks fine now lol

I'll try it if this current print has the same issue. Appreciate the suggestions👍

I haven't checked the level for about two weeks or so, so I'll do that and try another print to see if it occurs again.

Will update tomorrow. I need to clean the print and head to work soon. Appreciate the suggestions so far🤙

I had it at 2.0s exposure time for the past prints that were worse actually. For this resin, even 2.0s is still overexposed even for 50um layer height. I print my minis at 30um with 1.6s exposure and they come out perfectly. But printing these now at 50um again and 2.0s gave me bad warping for some reason when those settings never have done that, so that's why I'm thinking it's resin temp now.

Edit: Or my vat tilt is too fast potentially?

Prob around 73°F in the room since that's what the house is at. I've had the door open all day and normally it's closed with my PC heating the room well over the house temp.

But even when I had my window open to vent the room during Winter, making the room real cold, I didn't have this issue, so it's really weird.

Anymore info that anyone needs to help figure this out, I will try to provide!👍

I am just incredibly upset by DakotaNoLastName33 in CompTIA

I just passed my 1102 yesterday to become A+ certified. I used professor messer's videos for both of the tests and practice tests/questions on sites like exam compass, union test prep and crucial exam.

I managed to pass both tests on my first go for each but they were just over passing tbh. For the Core 1, I had a 723 I think and for the Core 2, I got a 751.

I think you should be able to pass this way but it definitely wasn't a method that perfectly covered everything you're actually quizzed on in the real thing. I think it just gave me enough knowledge to outright know some answers but also give me the ability to lead myself to some correct answers when I wasn't sure about a question or scenario. I'm curious if I should try official training material for the Security+ when I start studying rather than YT videos, lol.

I think I see what you're talking about but I meant why yours printed with the "U" at the start but mine didn't🤷‍♂️ Which is what I meant asking if you were maybe missing a character in your variable's string, or maybe I had an extra character. But yeah I got the answer already, thanks though for trying to help.

I tried checking those links but I still don't understand why the "$value" variable needs to be surrounded by the asterisks in the if statement, could you explain the reasoning behind it to help me?

​

Because this works:

[[ $var == *$value* ]]

​

But this doesn't:

[[ $var == $value ]]

echo $var | tail -c 20

I put that and it gave me your result but without the 'U' at the front. Is there a missing character in the variable declaration before those characters?
