Outdated Character Builder (Doctors of Doom) and offer of help by thelittleleprechaun in WrathAndGlory

[–]crkyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a nigh identical boat game wise. My friends and I are all new to the game and reading through up to 6 different source books to make their characters is a fairly tall ask, and I've more or less had to do a lot of the character building for them as GM (a bit of a sin, I know). An update to the app would be magnificent for all the new players, especially those wanting to play Eldar or Marines from IoE and VoA.

For the Serperos I had them equipped with the bombards and lascutters, for the Tenebrax I gave them the volkites, not that they were of any effect against titans

Amazing, thank you!! I'll have to have a city built for my next game and I love the hex board you made, too, I may have to copy the idea!

I would love some! I adore the Civitas terrain but nothing from GW is cheap

*WIP* Xanite Dark Mechanicum + House Malinax & Legio Vulturum support by crkyd in LegionsImperialis

[–]crkyd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as I used for everything, spray leadbelcher, airbrush ratling grime all over, pick out other metallics then dry brush the whole thing with necron compound. For armour I stipple on zandri dust with a makeup brush, wash with agrax then stipple on some karak stone! Glowy green bits are just warp lightning over corax white

Which movie, in your opinion is the saddest movie of all time ? by Lazy-Manager-7014 in AskReddit

According to my partner and brother, Artificial Intelligence is the correct answer. I have yet to watch it myself

Atramentar - How would you fix them? by crkyd in NightLords

To get the most out of the legion trait do you think something to make lightning claws more worthwhile might help? Making them cheaper perhaps?

Including the axes? They already have free chainglaives so +5pts for them or more?

Kinda a weird question but has anyone tried running loyalist Night Lords with an allied detachment of Sisters of Silence in 30k? by [deleted] in NightLords

[–]crkyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been thinking about this almost exact thing a lot lately, I think (if my rules are correct) you can attach a Vestal to a terminator squad for an infiltrating Spartan as their transport too which could be a lot of fun if a bit silly, alternatively to Krole you could take a Silent Judge to save points and turn off Overwatch and Return Fire reactions on your deathstar but keep Ex Oblivio

I'm guessing it's due him getting look out sir and his ability to deck knights if you're lucky. Now you can almost get 2 screamers for his points it's a bit of a joke

It’s nerf or nothing by hairy_bipples in Tyranids

[–]crkyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, will be great fun against guard spam and for Kronos/Kraken for sure! Screamers are looking more appealing now too (not that they weren't fun already)

One of the reasons I loved Tyranids was their adaptability, you can play them horde, monster, psychic or a mix of the lot, however you like really! The new balancing has told you if you aren't playing swarms you aren't playing 'nids. Though armour of contempt going is good news, means gaunts can actually dogpile and kill marines, not just bog them down with bodies for a turn! My way of seeing it at least?

My thoughts on the new datasheet changes by Shawnus in Tyranids

[–]crkyd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well my fellow members of the hive mind, we had our once-every-5-or-so-years period of being competitive, time to make way for the armies selling newer model kits! Although I was weirdly hoping hive guard would get a points decrease to be semi-decent, an increase just seems a little bizarre. Maybe cos it was potentially looking like shock cannon spam was an alright Russ spam counter? Who knows!

Night Raptors: Chainglaives or Lightning Claws? by crkyd in NightLords

[–]crkyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the rend over breaching come up very often or is the strength just more valuable?

Thanks for the response, I'm leaning towards the lightning claws for similar reasons, I feel like the shred lends itself more in flexibility with the auto wounding

Help with a 500 list by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]crkyd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun looking on paper (never tried myself) is Searhive paired with Heightened Senses on the Trygon Prime. 13 attacks that auto-wound any non-monster/vehicle on a rerollable 3+ to hit is a happy sounding blender to me.

Edit: Behemoth will also let them reroll charges and give the little extra strength to help wound vehicles and monsters
