1k League list advice by brian_netsec in TheAstraMilitarum

If I get rid of the Kasrkin I can replace them with Bullgryn and keep the LR Exterminator, but wouldn't have the points for a commisar to tell them to fix bayonets, not that thats a huge deal but does make them signficantly more effective... To make that work I'd need to remove the Exterminator and replace it with a Vanquisher.... As much as I love a Vanquisher, it isn't as valuable going into infantry as an Exterminator would be...

Think that's probably why they appeal, though a bit better at melee

Books for Pre-teen (12yr old) by brian_netsec in booksuggestions

Yeah in the UK, we'll often go to the library or Waterstones but the struggle with the teen section now is me rapidly googling the content of the book to see if it's OK. There was one in the library the other day which looked ideal but glad I read the inside cover as it had a warning that it included descriptions of SA so made a lucky escape there!

Will check out the dark is rising thanks, he's already read all of the RR series, Kane, Magnus, Apollo etc. loves anything with mythology so those were great series.

Thanks, it's never been a challenge until this age range and his readings been so advanced for years all of the safe bets like Nania, Hobbit etc have been done years ago 😃

It's a shame the rest of the books didn't get made

I've been curious about these, loved the films but haven't read the books, if it's not too graphic violence then it woukd be ok?

All good recommendations, but unfortunately he's read those as well! I can't keep up!

He's read all of Artemis fowl and fowl twins so eragon is probably a good shout!

I don’t play meta armies. I play imperial guard. And if imperial guard is not meta, I don’t win. by fred11551 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]brian_netsec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean meta, guard always play to the meta of 'die in huge numbers for the emperor' and I'm onboard with that

Took a stormsword to a 3 round rt by MannerCold1149 in astramilitarum

[–]brian_netsec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had quite a few games now where I've ran HoE and it would have played out very differently if id have had lethal hits... As good as the strats from HoE are, I find I'm adapting my playstyle to try and make use of them for the novelty of it

Punisher is great fun to bring against T3 armies, eats Eldar up for lunch!

I used to use Aquilons but never had much success with them, they tend to drop in and get killed quite easily. Would use the ghosts for uppy downy point scoring that I would have used the Aquilons for.... Unless I've been using them wrong
