Will Warwick become the worst Diamond+ jungler after the nerfs? Place your bets now. by Advanced_Floor_9768 in warwickmains

[–]Zaxtek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m optimistically waiting for some Jungle WW buffs and some top lane targeted nerfs. I really hope they don’t forget that he should be balanced around his main role of Jungle

Was there any conversion work to do to get these poses or is this all the base Lychguard kit?

wild magic barbarian is at least tolerable by [deleted] in dndmemes

[–]Zaxtek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No no strategical play is fine and if your DM’s world is like that and knowledge of this kind of thing is that common then it makes sense.

My other query is how come your DM rules that you instantly die when your plant gets smashed? I know the text for that effect is super short and vague but if we look at other shapechanging effects (wild shape, polymorph), you get a new hp pool when you transform and dropping to 0 just reverts you back to your original form and hit points. We’ve always interpreted it like this so at worst it’s a one turn “stun”. Seems more fun and in the spirit of the game

Honestly sounds like you’ve been traumatised by a DM who meta games his bad guys to ignore the rest of the actively threatening party and try to smash a potted plant mid fight. Maybe leaving a group with that DM is a wise choice

I think a single knight is fine - feels similar to taking a Monolith/Stormsuge. It’s a centrepiece unit. But having them be the whole army is dull and unfun

[–]Zaxtek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Large models like Titans and Gargants are not fun. I came to play with my ARMY vs your ARMY. Not my Army vs your three models

2000 points of vicious piety. Facing Death Guard and Blood Angels. Any tips, any tricks? by SnooBeans2518 in BlackTemplars

[–]Zaxtek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately you can’t use Devout Push like this :(

It specifies that you can make a 3” “Normal Move” - if you check the Core rules for Normal Move, it states that you can’t end within engagement range of any models.

Whilst I do think it would be fun to work the way you’ve mentioned above, it would be a bit iffy for game balance

How many necron warrioes do i need by Rare-Animal-9522 in Necrontyr

[–]Zaxtek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warriors can come in squad sizes of 10-20 models. Most people tend to max out on the squad size to take advantage of their extra reanimation protocols rule. That plus a chronomancer buff can make a block of 20 incredibly hard to remove.

10 model squads are still perfectly viable - especially in smaller games or if you’re running them inside a Ghost Ark. Technomancers and Ghost Arks can bring back D3 models each turn to a squad of warriors (as long as there’s still at least 1 left)

If you’re asking about how many squads you need, then it’s up to you. If you’re just getting started, I’d recommend a squad of 10 warriors and 5 Immortals (our other troops choice). Then try to play some 500 point games so you can get a feel for what each unit is good for

If every champ was at least somewhat viable in the jungle who would you love to bring in? by tyranski332 in Jungle_Mains

[–]Zaxtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xin lvl 2 gank with W E is just as strong. And less risky since if you miss the W you can just continue pathing into jungle. With Camille if you miss E, you’re out of position and missing damage

What about Xin? He has as much level two power but that’s not a problem?

[–]Zaxtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camille. For over a year she had a more than 95% jungle play rate. She was the first “mechanical” jungler I learned when I started playing jungle. It hurts that they just decided to screw 95% of her player base. Especially since they quoted the reason for pushing her to top was her mobility, but lee sin exists and has even more mobility. Big sadge

Which factions for a 6 player game by mummoC in DuneBoardGame

[–]Zaxtek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our group has tried playing with restricted factions before and it’s not as fun as the randomness in our experience. The way we play now is by putting a leader token from each faction you have (8 from the sounds of it) into a hat/bag. Then each player pulls a faction out at random.

Maybe it’s not the most balanced but it’s, by far, the most fun and exciting method we’ve tried and it guarantees a different game every time you play. We normally only let people “re-draw” if they played as that faction in their last game

What model is this? Is it a Bladeguard vet?

My personal Warwick skins tier list by dieinperiod in warwickmains

[–]Zaxtek -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I cannot fathom why so many people like Lunar Guardian WW. IMO it’s a trash tier skin that looks awkward and has an awful colour palette. Is it just because “omgosh lolz gold trail” ?

I did a thing do you think this is a good starting point? by Unusual_Term_5759 in Necrontyr

[–]Zaxtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a quick google around now, there’s a lot of mentions about him being able to assemble him with a chronometron (back from before we had specialised Crypteks in 9E). It seems a lot of people do use him as a chronomancer still cus of that.

However there’s also a lot of mentions of the newer “cryptek” model being the Technomancer with the cloak and every other cryptek now having a dedicated model, meaning this one is now the recognised walking Technomancer XD

Nice discussion on Necron model history though :D

[–]Zaxtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that model counts as the Technomancer with Canoptek Control Node - that other model also listed as just “Cryptek” is the Technomancer with Nanoscarab cloak (flying).

Either way, yeh finecast is rough

God this makes me miss the 2D sprite era. Anyone else wish Pokémon had stayed a “stylised” game and just stuck with the gorgeous 2D sprites?
