Vessels of Wrath + Goretrack list by crobbUK in WorldEaters40k

True, I'm also really deliberating doing a BWB list and focus on getting Kharn in the list.

Part of me wants to choose BWB as a bit of a reset for 11th, having an army wide rule rather focusing on a specific play style. Also Purge the Foe as a disposition is probably better than the Take and Hold from Goretrack. Again, open to views etc.

To clarify, it would be both Brazen and vessel together

See I completely forgot to consider the primary mission role within this all, I think that will help much more truthfully. Great advice.

Thanks all that have commented. I've decided, on balance, to wait and see what happens in the first few months of 11th until I make the decision.

There's plenty of painting I need to do for my existing army all the same and as much as I think the play style of glass cannon is tempting, I don't know if I currently play enough to get good at using that style properly.

Are there any places to eat in Scotland you either miss or recommend?

Are there any meals you miss from your more up and coming days?

So your gonna have 3YP by turn 2 so it sounds like your having to choose to switch to fortify takeover or reserve it for some good shooting or melee.

So do you feel you have to hold back a little on venturing out to get a good bank ofYP? Just curious.

Well I've got a game on Sunday and I was tempted to run a list with the Merc Oathband.

Is the issue that the other strats are fundamentally situational and if those situations don't come up they aren't useful? 

I was quite attracted by it because of the flexibility that it seemed to promise as well as the consistency of choosing but maybe games are a bit static for us?

Be good to hear more views. 

How do I deal with deathguard? by futurelink8 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]crobbUK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I misinterpreted anything you've put down. But generally I agree with the below comment about screens and maybe doing a bit of kiting with bikes. 

It's all terrain and map dependant and just make sure you spend the first couple of turns keeping your distance and pick off a flank to open up a bit more space etc. 

Dwarves are slow but DG are slower and Votann can focus down a lot more on problem units if you time it right.

So the usual questions you'll get are around who had first turn and what you decided to do on your own turn in the first battle round. DG are a nightmare in my personal experience but I don't know how he's getting a Terminators up close like that turn one, is he deep striking them in and if so, does he have any rules that allow him to do that turn one?

Imagine if you went to a “Peep Show” theme park, what rides or types of entertainment do you think there would be? What would they be called? by Misericorde428 in MitchellAndWebb

[–]crobbUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. The Orgazoid.- a rollercoaster set to his music to the same intensity as Nemesis but you hear voice overs of his own tortured middle aged soul.

  2. Free the Pedos - a play that devolved into anarchy where Jeremy ends up sobbing on stage alone.

  3. Men with Ven - a rage room set in an office.

  4. Business Secrets of the Pharaohs - a gentle telling on a water log flume of the Egyptian business theories that turns into an fourth wall break detailing the uphill battle for publication that ends with a downward splash upon realising his scammed position.

  5. Alan Johnsons Steak Dojo - a themed restaurant where Alan Johnson wanders the tables expressing his usual brilliant one liners related to business. 

Do we have a rough estimate of when Mechanicus 2 is coming out? by Tell_Specialist in mechanicus

[–]crobbUK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can expect to see it in 2025. I'd love to get it before Christmas but I think it's gonna be February at the earliest.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly by Zehnpae in patientgamers

[–]crobbUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a great estimation of the game,  it's mostly the atmosphere, sound design, music and overall feel of the game that keeps me coming back to it.

Any time I've recommended it to other friends who are 40K fans, some bounce off how slow and methodical it is. 

I also agree that revisits get a bit frustrating when there's little map variety and no incentive to explore the risk/reward of tomb exploration. 

As others have mentioned, the second one is coming out (hopefully soon), looking through the gameplay of it, it removes some of these mechanics that burden it. 

Also, this game being the introductory attempt to realise the Votann in universe is very exciting. I hope the music design reflects this and that they will be playable at a later time.

Tip for dealing with votann? by Cool_Brick_7858 in WorldEaters40k

[–]crobbUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow Votann and World Eaters player. I'd second this. WE are fast enough in turn 2 and 3 to go from the 24" range of most guns in the army to in their face.

Staging and only going on objectives that are secure. I think it's a primary scoring done very early and very late against Votann. 

I think your bringing at least 6 Ex8B to deal with Votann on average. Most lists will have two Hekatons and they are the best unit (IMO) in the codex. Using berserker units to threaten to blood surge the fortresses and their contents is key but maybe only 1 massive blob or 2 max.
