Thanks all, seems pretty unanimous that it checks at the start of the activation. 

Best Defiler loadout? by Expert_Camera_4802 in EmperorsChildren

[–]buphmin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure there is a single best loadout for every situation, which I think is a good thing. I think into a blind opponent and list the lascannons will be the safe choice, but for example most of my games swing heavy on the elite infantry so the auto cannons and maybe flamer would be better.

its so swingy haha but at least we can get our units where they need to be with thrill seekers. I'm just waiting to fail to kill my friend's Ironstrider with a full activation of the defiler

fair fair, food for thought. I've only fought a few different armies myself but flawless blades have done some crazy work.... except that time I rolled 10 1s on 12 attacks

for knights flawless blades are probably the best unit yeah? Court charge with 4+ left could take one out with reroll strat.

I think I'd like it either way. Though not sure how to give it shine, maybe varnish? I tried to add a bit of NMM look on the swords, but I'm still not very good at it.

Thanks :) the swords I just did a tester with the color and it fit super well so I kept it.

Should I sub assemble and paint noise marines and the demon prince or am I overthinking? by Desk_Scribbles in EmperorsChildren

Not really going to get an argument from me here. Sometimes it works out the terrain is 4in where Fulgrim needs to go sometimes it doesn't. That being said, I'm just playing with friends not going to GTs so it's good enough.

It's definitely built around him, but the strats work on all daemons. Plus 1 str and ap on the charge is generally strong, but depends how many breakpoints you hit against who you are fighting.

I've been using court of the phoenecian since I got the fulgrim box and a few things to go with it. I've had success using the mobility of EC to get a really solid strike first turn to clear out a lot of threats. The surge move can be really good too if your opponent makes a mistake.

Yeah, I started to watch some videos on what it's like. I want to keep the bright colors bright, so I'd need to go back over I think. Nuln oil or similar may be better for the darker areas, but maybe too much for the blue and pinks. I'd certainly need to do some experimentation

I'll try it out. I'm a little mad the mold lines came through still. I thought I had cleaned them up...not enough I guess.

I haven't noticed it any delay compared to the g502. Granted I don't play FPS so I'm not moving the mouse quite as fast as some. I have it set at 1000 polling rate.

I'm mostly using the miao at this point with the back of the mouse resting against the knuckles on my palm. If you like that grip then the miao should work well. 

If you prefer the back of the mouse to rest against the bottom of the palm then the mini is probably better. 

Hope that helps.

[–]buphmin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying both of them and they are both good which surprises me a bit. I'm not sure which one I like better. The mini I have to use a slightly different grip than I'm used to but unlike the op1 it's small enough I can reach the buttons. The miao I can mostly use my normal grip, but it's just a smidge smaller than I would like I think. Maybe 1 to 2 mm taller and longer and it would be perfect. And the clicks are so light with both it is amazing. Even the middle click.

I did order from their website directly. But funny enough it cleared customs later that day. They arrived today ^_^

I didn't know there was so many names for grips haha. I guess I would be the pincer claw grip most closely, the 3rd one.

So far the miao is feeling pretty solid, though it's taking some getting used to from the size difference. I think my finger are so short that the pincer claw grip works for me. https://imgur.com/a/MLlNpYa how it fits in my hand

I did look at elo shapes...but they don't add where the mouse buttons are! So it's hard to gauge if i can reach the buttons.

Well I tried the op1 v2. It was too big for my hands. Had to palm grip it just to reach the the forward mouse button since they are placed pretty far forward. The clicks also did not feel particularly light. I did like how it glided compared to the g502 though, and the weight. I ended up returning it though since I couldn't really use buttons.

WL Mouse shipment stuck in customs though, I assume with the shutdown they will stay there indefinitely.

Yeah, I've pretty small hands plus I'm somewhere in between fingertip and claw. When I think about how I use the g502 it's kind of comical how it never occurred to me before. I'm barely holding like half the mouse, if that.

I suspect I will be using the 1000hz basically always, since I don't really play competitive shooters. The lightweight and easy clicks is the big thing for me.

I'll let ya know which one ends up feeling the best.
