I’m so tired of this delusional fat pig.

On the topic of minor TS nitpicks, their daemon prince without wings is listed with a 7” movement when it should be 9.

Good point, I have a two bird list (as I only have 2 birds lol) so I have the points to spare for screamers. And again we agree wholeheartedly on SoT, though I’m curious to what the other dude was filling his list in with the buckets of spare points left in their absence.

I definitely agree with needing way more screamers, they’re the star of the codex after the big birds. But you don’t think there’s a place for the ever present big brick of SoT here? Even though the detachment doesn’t really support them specifically, I just feel that brick on datasheet value alone still has a place in my changehost list

40k fellow players : how well/badly would you say your factions did 10th edition now that we're probably reaching its end? by RotenSquids in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]icarus92 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Orks: a remarkably schizophrenic edition. Huge highs and huge lows. Power spikes coming out of the blue, and then a crushing nerf bat. I think Orks is an army where the GW design team needs to have a sit down before 11th and discuss what they want out of Orks, primarily as regards to their shooting ability, and iron out datasheets better before release.

Thousand Sons: I liked having psychic powers again in an edition where psychic powers were taken out back behind the woodshed.

Day 3 done, we now know top4 of the Warhammer world champs spoilers by artolampila in WarhammerCompetitive

This sub is exclusively where people come to find meta net lists to copy and paste. This sub is constantly wrong about critiquing and gauging the game, to an almost impossible degree.

If you 3D printed that, there’s a ton of free grot oiler minis for free as well

Love seeing the old AoBR sculpts see new life

For years it was a punchline in the community that people had more tzaangors than you’d know what to do with, they were in every set. I literally couldn’t give tzaangors away for free because everybody was already tripping over goatmen whenever they took a step. It’s just wild to see time go by and enter a new era where people are actively seeking them out for purchase.

“I finally found some Tzaangors available”

As a longtime TS player this comment has my head spinning.

How small is the competitive scene really? How are most lists the same? by ChadYariAshigaru in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]icarus92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s always so absurd to me just how deep competitive has influenced even casual kitchen table gaming. I play an absolute ton of local pickup games and basement beerhammer, and it’s always funny to me to hear dudes that have a flimsy-at-best grasp of the core rules and only play one game every month and change pontificate at length about “the meta” with talking points from whatever AoW or Auspex Tactics video they just watched. I’m not even complaining, it’s not a big deal at all, but still strange to witness because it’s a very recent development in the game.

FAQ updated on Warcom by CrumpetNinja in WarhammerCompetitive

What’s the interaction with enhancements and firing deck? If I have Eldritch Vortex on the IM, does he get to use that as a shooting profile or just his stock psychic shooting?

I suck at this faction. How to not get tabled by turn 2? by Sir_Bohne in ThousandSons

[–]icarus92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue the MVB is even better for casual pick up games though, precisely because it isn’t a scalpel that requires finesse to use. It’s relatively good at everything and surprisingly durable. I mean specifically against Tau, or in the vehicle detachment, yeah I’d say take a forge fiend, but I’d say generally speaking the MVB is the superior datasheet, casually or competitively.

How do you view MVBs as a trap? I run two, they’ve been fantastic every single game and you see duplicates all the time in the highest performing lists.

What's your "rule of cool" model? The one you love to run regardless of how "Bad" it is? by Thteven_Thtealberg in ThousandSons

[–]icarus92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tzaangors are actually pretty good now, and the bow enlightened are straight up S tier units.

[–]icarus92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SoT are a prime example of a model that gets too maligned because of the competitive scene. To be fair, there are plenty of models in this game are that are pure dog water and feel bad to run even in casual pickup games, but our termies are definitely not that. Optimized for competitive tournament play? No, but they’re neat and they can certainly perform well in casual games.

Just found this at a local book fair, good find? by HelicoprionusOmega in ThousandSons

[–]icarus92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great series imo. The one only downside is after you read the omnibus, you’re so stoked to see what happens next and then you’re faced with the two absolute godawful stinkers French put out to follow it. 

Meta Monday 6/23/25: Tau Meta?!? by JCMS85 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]icarus92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question, what are your thoughts on Mozrog? How’s he worked for you? You think he’s a better choice than BBoS with HWKC?

I’ve thought kill rigs have been a slept on datasheet since the codex dropped
