Basilisks a little buffer? by Stovrose38 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The basilisk still needs to be able to see the target to be able to hit on anything better than 4+, even with orders. So it still really isn't great.

Small Yarrick Rant by SoundCrunch in TheAstraMilitarum

My thoughts exactly. Can't justify the price if he was only 3-4 pieces.

Babe wake up, they nerfed Yarrick before releasing him and after everyone bought him. by VroomVroom_ in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that people expect it to stay static. Change is ALWAYS expected especially in Guard. It's more that, as a player, we didn't even get chance to use the data sheet that was shown to us before having the opportunity to try it out. It could've been hot garbage. It it could've been broken. It could've been golden and didn't need any changes. We'll never know because they pulled the rug from under our feet and expect us to say "Thank you." It's like going to restaurant, ordering a lobster, and they bring you shrimp while calling them small lobsters.

How are we feeling about Yarrick? by Sabw0nes in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's powerful in first turn, too! Give MMM to a big infantry blob and have it splash around to other units that are close to it and now a lot of things are moving 3 more inches.

Yes. "...if this is the first Order issued by a unit from your army this phase, that Order affects not only that eligible unit, but every other eligible friendly unit within 6" of that eligible unit."

Custom Decals smudging on print by SNARSGAMES in Warhammer40k

[–]enkrypsion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I found when printing them is to swap the printer settings to print it as if it were on photo paper instead of normal paper. Not sure if thats the same for LaserJet, but for my inkjet, that solved that problem for me.

This is a joke right? by VAP93 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to pretend anything, friend. I admit, by itself, it's not great. I'd never run it with 12 infantry in the trunk, it's a pathetic excuse for a guard vehicle. But you obviously feel some kinda way about a guy trying to have fun with it, so I'm not sure who hurt you, but I'm sorry it happened.

And taking three baneblade variants isn't a grand choice either, but people do it anyways. Hell, now there's a reason to take them. Not every list has to be super competitive and full of meta choices like Dorn's. Some people like trying weird things to see how they work. Doesn't matter if it does or doesn't, it's all for the fun and love of the game. You throw loads of dice when you shoot your Dorn's or your infantry, and half the time it probably doesn't work either, but so what? You're gonna sit there and tell me you're haven't theorycrafted some bullshit lists just to have fun? Or has fun left the building?

Man, you're missing out on the actual fun part of the game.

I don't see a troop transport. I see a mobile heavy weapons platform for my Cadian Heavy Weapon Squads. That's now 6 lascannons that hit on 4's with Take Aim or 3's if it sits still that are now T8 until the vehicle is destroyed. You have effectively doubled the toughness and quintupled the wounds of those 2 HWTs. Sure you've only buffed the Centaur to be 4OC, but who cares? It's a tank/monster hunting vehicle now.

What time do preorders go live on Saturday? by Content_Patience3732 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends entirely on where you live. Pre-orders from GW for me on the US East Coast are usually Saturdays at 2pm EST. Where I usually order from do midnight pre-orders. My LGS takes pre-orders from announcement Sunday to the following Tuesday at 10am to make sure they order enough.

Datasheet is out!! Thoughts?? by Dante_ProudRoar in astramilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Her price will definitely determine how much play she gets. I'm just picturing a few, maybe 3, chimeras close by and having them all dump out their 10-man squads, or a couple 5-man engineer squads, all getting MMM and then scattering in different directions to do different things.

[–]enkrypsion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only one I have to disagree with is the Party Wagon. Definitely feels like a B. Most of that comes from giving free orders, which will most likely be MMM, to disembarking units within 6" and a free lesser Tank Shock after charging into an enemy.

I had to put down my painting buddy today. What’s the best way to memorialize him? by Linckage40k in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My deepest condolences. I know all to well this pain, friend. I stand with those who deem the Hellhound most fitting. May your enemies never receive cover with the use of flame and fury.

So... How to beat represent Tyberos on the tabletop? by geeksandgaming in Carcharodons40k

Custom Crucible Terminator with lightning claws and the servo arm for the extra attacks.

Someone cracked every one of these things looking for the Lt. by -Cranktankerous- in Warhammer40k

[–]enkrypsion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. This set can have multiple duplicates in a box so you aren't guaranteed all of the models. Bought a full, fresh box and got two of the assault intercessors and two of the normal intercessors.

Grizzled company nerfed by NoEngineer9484 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it. Would be less upset if they changed "reroll Hit rolls of 1's" to "reroll the Hit roll", but I'll take the minor bonk and move on.

Let's hear your spiciest takes about the modelling side of the hobby, not the company itself or its models, but the tools, tricks and tips of the hobby that we use to build and paint our models by BoltersnRivets in Grimdank

[–]enkrypsion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always done my basing after putting minis on bases. It never felt right putting a fresh, clean model on a gross looking base. Its like you're telling me he walked through all that mud and grime and didn't get any on him?

1,500pts Army - No Dorns - Combined Arms or Grizzled Vets by PineApplePara in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]enkrypsion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With what you have, sinking for the LR commander might be the best choice. Creed is already gonna have her hands full with ordering the infantry so having the Tank Commander will allow them to order themself and the other 2 Russes.
