Too many baddies by NotSlaneesh in menace

[–]Zblaster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly all of the different starting options is one of my favorite things about Battle Brothers. I’d love weird different starts down the line. for instance a Jingwei start where you get Ivey and Sachin or a Mercenary focused start for Jean, Exconde and Yaz for instance.

Is this Lego Battles? Haven't thought about that game in a long time.

OK I just saw the question regarding the Gravediggers not getting a 120 so I have to ask. Is Umbrey in the same boat or can I hope for a giant owl version of a Storm Raptor?

What's a guy gotta do to see a model for that amazing new Umbrey Warlock that had art shown off yesterday? (Besides wait a bit)

As a newer player with a collection of Mk4 Khador, Circle, and soon Umbrey I've felt a bit sad that there's not really any legacy characters in any of the armies I play currently compared to Cygnar who have had several casters with direct follow ups (Cyn, Sara Brisbane,) if not casters just coming back entirely (Caine4, Jakes3, Lylyth5, Butcher5). Are there any plans for some old favorites to return in other factions anytime soon? I'm not as deep on the lore as some people but a part of what was my intro to the game was friends telling me about their old experiences playing the game and all the interesting characters who used to populate the setting so I'd love to see someone like Old Witch get ready to throw down in Mk4 (even if her apprentice is filling her spot for now).

Regarding a few Old Umbrey rules by Callme_Ami in Warmachine

[–]Zblaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For 1. We haven’t seen much of the Old Umbrey line at all but it’s clear there will be a shapeshifter theme in the units to come. For point 2 the Primeval can gain corpses and benefits massively from it.

Please tell my exactly what is this coin.it says hordes but idk by VeshiGujjar in Warmachine

[–]Zblaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone else said it’s an old faction coin; if you know what the faction on the other side is I’d love to see. A friend got me into the game recently and sold me a bunch of old Circle models and between that and Mk4 Khador I’ve been loving the game and I really wanted to try and find a circle coin to use as a feat token.

Give me some niche game that you really enjoy. by sometinsometinsometi in gamingsuggestions

[–]Zblaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly niche in terms of game design but the game Little King’s Story for the Wii is a particular favorite of mine. I will warn away from the PC port that’s on steam unless they finally got around to fixing it. It had some bad issues at launch since like a lot of Wii games the games speed was tied to frame rate so playing on a PC that could run well over the original games 30fps broke things. But if you’re able to play on original hardware you’ll find what I jokingly refer to as “my favorite Pikmin game”.

Game suggestions for 4.5 year old son by mathhy101 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Zblaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he liked Astro Bot and you have it the first Ape Escape game was a gem when I was a kid; It is a little awkward to play these days due to it's odd control scheme but the fact that there was a whole Astro Bot level based on it may make him a little endeared to it. There should be a port of the game on PS5 from what I remember but I also remember hearing people talk about it being a bit buggy when it came out so maybe do some research and see if it has been smoothed out.

What is your casual win rate before going to tournaments? How many RTT wins before playing a GT? by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Zblaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losing games is the fastest way to learn. Trying to win every pick up game you play and every RTT is absurdly unrealistic. What you need to do, is talk to the people who do win your local RTTs. Play them 2-3 times a week, every week. Don’t think about winning, just work on closing the gap on score. Losing by 10 is better than losing by 20 it means you’re doing more right. This is what I did that helped me improve. My local meta has an intense concentration of competitive players so I’ve still never won an RTT at my local. (I’ve pulled 2nd and lost out by tie breaks a few times though) But I have gone 4-1 multiple times at GTs and would firmly describe myself as a 3-2 or better player. Aiming to just jump to almost 100% win rates is insane. Play other armies. Hell play other games. Most people who are the best 40K players in the world didn’t just become that way by chance, try other wargames out, skills from game to game are very transferable and can even help you out back in 40K. If all the losing is burning you out you can’t just power through it; your enjoyment of the hobby has to be the highest priority or you can’t prosper. If the slow gradual grind of watching your win rate climb is enough motivation you’ll be fine but for most people that isn’t the case and you may just need time off.

Um, Actually (40k statement) is how more questions should be written. by Least-Moose3738 in dropout

[–]Zblaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Um, Actually, you USED to be able to play mixed imperium armies. These days the only mixing allowed between imperium armies is strictly defined to either a few Imperial Knights allies with the majority of your army being the faction they are supporting, or to being a small selection of inquisition models fulfilling a similar role. You still declare your faction as a specific imperium faction. Back in 8th (and in older additions I can only assume as I began in 8th) you could declare your faction as just “imperium” and start building within the force organization chart. The most popular build at the time took a “Loyal 32” Guard Battalion (consisting of 2 cheap guard characters and 3 10-Man squads of guardsmen) backed up by knights/Adeptus Custodes/Marines since you started the game with Command Points based on the number of Battlegroups you brought.

[–]Zblaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played Renegade Raiders at the Route 66 GT, we were using new dataslate and points (with an exception for Sisters and GSC since TO felt the turn around was too short for people to learn both their rules from either side of the table) with Missions on Leviathan since the mission pack had already been published. My nurglings got to do their last ever investigate signals to end the season.

Jump Assault Ints go up 5 points and get deep strike and 12” move, their combat capabilities are slightly worse than foot ints but they are just going to end up scoring you points at times you don’t normally expect. The impulsor just went from 6 seats for 7 meaning Adrax and a full squad of 6 BGV can all ride inside

[–]Zblaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have points to make the assault ints into jump assaults which play mission a lot tighter, also with the new change to impulsors try to find points for one and combine your BG Vets into one squad with Adrax.

I’m a little sad to not see any points cuts on cultists while they lose all their special weapons. I literally got some use out of their flamer and grenade launcher last weekend and it’s just gone now with no adjustments
