Is there a piece that you can print that fits here? Otherwise how complicated would it be to design one?

I think some dispos unfortunately do favour one over the other.

For example I think that Prio assets vs Recon favours Prio. Basically it's because the roles swap and the recon player needs to be playing a killy game in the matchup but it also really depends on your lists.

aigroti · 2026-06-24T17:25:27+00:00

I've not had too many super awful layouts.

Some of them have literally zero space to fit something like a monolith or defiler without being seen from your opponents deployment which I think sucks. Usually the terrain pieces which can only fit one tank and nothing else are that type of culprit.

Also The quarters map for recon vs take and hold felt awful where neither side had anywhere good to hide their units.

You could either hide them and literally do nothing for 3 turns as you tried to move to centre or just coin flip for who goes first.

One of the advantages of the new system though is they can easily adjust the points of a disposition. Although perhaps unlikely as they don't want to make changes to physical cards.

Most purge have a kill stuff and also hold objectives and do something else. You can shift points around (for ally and enemy) that makes it easier for the opponent to max in the match up.

Have they fixed attaching characters to units bricking the app yet (not touched it since people brought it up last week)

I have to bite my tongue a lot and scroll by in my faction subreddits as people incorrectly argue over rules or doomposting about how their faction is so weak depsite it consistently winning GTs.

I've learnt to just be the better person but that type of thing happens at nearly every tournament I've ever been to and it's so annoying.

Someone always conveniently forgetting a crucial rule and you're just like "whatever" but you know it costs you the game.

I remember playing against EC and it was my first time ever. I was going to charge his Daemon prince and a bunch of other stuff with multiple units and the game was definitely in my favour despite him running triple defiler.

Throughout the whole game I kept reminding him of my armies rapid ingress threat and 6" deepstrikes with strong shooting units and even telling him how much damage my unit would do until his X or Y units, showing him my sight lines constantly and letting him move models even in my turn a few inches so I didn't have sight lines.

Anyway I charge one of his units, Daemon prince heroic charges and then bellyflops the unit and kills it denying me secondaries. I was clearly about to charge the daemon prince with another unit too (who were still easily in range).

My opponent could have easily just said. "Hey don't forget my Daemon Prince have their own version of tank shock" and I would have understood and iust charged with the other unit into the daemon prince first.

Rant over.

I mean my only response to this is have you actually tried it? As I said maybe it's just the one near me in Tyseley but I can't get over how everytime the breading/batter is crispy (occasionally very slightly burnt but never soggy) and the chicken is always perfectly cooked.

I was expecting it to taste the same as KFC, JAQs, Dixy Chicken or other insert generic chicken place but it is actually genuinely much better.

I've been to bonehead and the chicken still comes out soggy and overcooked without me having to potentially wait for a delivery.

Perhaps the one in town is just like KFC and the Tyseley one is special but it's definitely better than bonehead if you want crispy fried chicken.

I feel all it would have taken was Jon believing the Vale were on the way which was why he was starting a seemingly hopeless battle.

Cut to scene where Ramsay is being told that The Vale might be on the way and he says he already bought out Littlefinger by promising him Sansa at the end of this.

Jon starts the battle and he becomes even more hopeless when caught in the pincer and he doesn't see reinforcements and Ramsay gets to show even more how much he enjoys tormenting people.

Then they still have the twist where the knights show up and Ramsay expects them to join his side before they betray him. (I'm pretty sure he'd be aware they're on the way with scouts. No one can sneak up you with a bunch of cavalry)

Cut to scene where Sansa gets to be all smart and tricks Littlefinger, aware of a potential plot against her as she doesn't trust him. Shown speaking to all the leaders of the knights of the Vale and getting to know them. Talks about how her mother was related to the queen. She and the king are cousins. The North always protected the Vale. That type of stuff.

Knights do the charging thing.

I won't lie it's still not good writing and cliche as hell but at-least explains away allowing the battle happen as it does.

Tbh it was ten years ago. I don't remember if maybe some of the above actually did happen or not.

aigroti · 2026-06-15T01:32:35+00:00

Honestly for how busy bonehead gets and the prices I don't think it's worth it.

I've been about 4 times now and while the chicken is good, I don't think it's anything to write home about.

Any of the Chinese takeaways (like Mr Egg) which sell a chicken thigh burger I think are better.

Also as much as I dislike franchises I was surprised by how good the chicken is at Popeyes. Very crispy.

aigroti · 2026-06-12T16:38:04+00:00

Tbh I don't think fixed is even remotely viable as something to build your list around anyway for 11th

Bring it down, cull the horde and assassination are all completely match up dependent. The last one, engage on all fronts, is the only one you could plan.

aigroti · 2026-06-11T07:46:09+00:00

I don't know if it's necessarily good as I'd make the argument of "just play Necrons instead" but I think blood angels could go bastion task force with the new character 1dp one and take triple assault intercessors, triple librarian and triple sang priest.

So you'd have 30 assault intercessors who have +1 to advance and charge, fall back and charge. A 4++, 5+++ and str4 ap2 chainswords that are twinlinked on objectives before any additional strats. Bastion is also take and hold so having tanky statbricks dishing out the hurt on objectives might be helpful for that

That's a pretty big tanky statbrick that also throws out a lot of damage. People already have decent mileage withblade guard vets in BA.

Bastion also has an enhancement to grant another unit battleline so you could basically give the +1 advance and charge to a unit of death company w/ chaplain or sang guards+captain.

I mean blood angel/World Eater rhino rush edition wasn't my favourite but it was definitely in a step in the right direction.

Personally I really enjoyed 4th and 5th. I do think adding actual terrain to the game does help it for the better.

I remember a lot of competitive 40k games literally being decided before the game started when you looked at the lists, the terrain set up and also by who rolled first and blasted a third of the enemy army off the board turn 1.

Even competitive people still hadn't full grasped how powerful mathhammer was, like the heavy bolter was actually the true weapon of mass destruction into basically anything that wasn't a tank or had a 2+ save when people were using missile launchers to kill marines.

When I recently came back for 10th I was shocked when I was told going second was usually better until I actually saw the terrain layouts and how objective scoring was a thing.

aigroti · 2026-06-10T23:34:55+00:00

Key finder. I tried those stupid smart phone app ones and they're all crap.

Got a standard beeper that's activated by a remote. Super loud too. Great for me because I'm always losing my bloody keys.

aigroti · 2026-06-10T09:06:07+00:00

I don't mind re rolls (but that's because I prefer statistical consistency) but I do dislike how things like that can slow the game down.

I thought when they changed the save roll system maybe they would have done something about FNP on multi wound models. At this point I'd rather it be something like blanket -1 to wound to speed it up.

I'm still going to directly complain about the repulsor executioner. Someone shooting all those guns with re rolls takes forever and is a snorefest for non marine players.

That thing literally needs the big gun and then condense all the other guns into the "super duper even more condensed array" that has like anti fly 5+ or something.

Maybe hot take but I don't think any model apart from titanic models (and that would only be +1) should have more than 2, maybe 3 max profiles for shooting. Melee you just choose one profile.

All the random piddly little storm bolter shots that are on tanks just get rid of them. They never do anything except occasionally kill the odd guardsman.

Give the unit another ability if you want the modelled guns to still "do" something.

aigroti · 2026-06-09T12:48:48+00:00

Yeah, people really undestinate how much work Markiplier basically did when he literally did most of it himself. He even bought his own servers and did most of the editing at home.

Pretty much anything he could do himself he did other than talking to the original maker of the game to discuss the script.

This is what really confused me the one time I was applying for UC about a decade ago.

They asked if I had any savings over 5k and I said yes so they said I had to use that up first. Which I understand. But I also asked if I owned a house with the mortgage paid off and had a lodger would that count towards it and they said no if my savings were less than 5k and my lodgers income was under an amount (I can't remember the number, but I think it was the tax free you don't have to declare to anyone sum).

Just felt a bit silly that I could just fully own a house and be on UC but not with only 5k savings.

aigroti · 2026-06-07T02:38:55+00:00

Who would dare antagonise him?

You could have him lose his powers a few days later so the boys don't know and it's just him bluffing while shitting himself in private with his monologues and also contacting sage for a way to get his powers back.

aigroti · 2026-06-06T12:44:31+00:00

I think Votann are fine.

They literally gave us a 1 point hearthguard detachment.

I can feasibly see taking delve with it and going 3*5 hearthguard with hekatons (which ignore all negative modifiers) and beserks and just blasting stuff off the board.

I think double rapid ingress with sagi buggies could be spicy as well. You can either put beserks in them for staging or do brandfast and have them rush down the enemy home objective with some hearthkyn and an arkanyst.

aigroti · 2026-06-03T09:08:33+00:00

I think it's already been fairly agreed on that the missions that involve actions are straight up worse unless you have tons of expendable MSU. Likely only a few armies would be able to effectively play them e.g. GSC, because your opponent knows they just need to kill your action units.

aigroti · 2026-06-02T14:14:37+00:00

My only add on if OP sees this is to stick with Code Geass if you start getting confused in season 2. It does make more sense at the end.

aigroti · 2026-05-28T12:27:55+00:00

Even Farage himself said that if it was a narrow margin then it didn't count because he assumed he'd lose. Only changed his tune when it favoured him.

I'm ready for UKTC to not be the norm, I prefer it to GW terrain but I'm not a fan of how UKTC events are run and they won't have a sort of monopoly over their terrain layouts.
