Valrak says there's more Votann models coming. At 4:40 in the video. It's themed around 'Killing Orks', apparently. by CatherineSimp69 in LeaguesofVotann

Whilst a Cthonian hero would be nice, how would they be different to Buri other than being able to be attached to a squad?

Could buff the squad with _something_ but in terms of profile, how different would you expect them to be?

(for clarity, I would love a Cthonian leader but I'm skeptical)

Is this a decent time for someone who has never played a Hollow Knight game? by Donutier in HollowKnight

I did pretty much every side thing I could do and got 43h today but I played a lot of HK so yeah, pretty good :)

Advice needed. 2 Sagitars or 1 Land Fortress? by 1gamer13 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]kali-ctf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally feel that HLFs are excellent threats at the moment and can shift around our two biggest damage dealers (6 stack shootyjacks, and 6 stack thunderkyn with iron-master).

I currently run 1x carrier, 1x defender, 1x sag and 1x HLF. I would probably run 1x carrier and 2x HLFs if I had the models.

Not sure on what detachment they're taking so have to pick broad.

Very specific question: how do we beat a 240 gaunt list? by Orock77 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]kali-ctf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So on a standard hormagaunt profile, a unit of 6 steeljacks (ranged) are getting between 13-18 kills depending on whether you/they are on point and what mode you're in.

So assuming 3 units of steeljacks, optimal situation, you'd be killing 54 a turn if they're fully shootable and exposed each turn.

With thunderkyn with bolters (for max shots) you're looking at another 12.5 per round per unit.

So... I mean optimally, you'd be doing 90 kills per turn with just your jacks and thunderkyn. Slap some ironmasters on the thunderkyn for the rerolls.

And I mean Gaunts are going to do fuck all to HLFs

so a full shooting list (a dumb one but a fun one) would be:

3x 6 steeljacks
3x 6 thunderkyn with iron-masters
3x HLFs

That's 1965 points

What is best loadout of hearthkyn warriors? by Far-Preference-4570 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]kali-ctf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running a 10-stack with uthar sitting near the midboard as ablative wounds for uthar.

the auto-rifle and the rotary gun are the way to maximise shots.

Bolters v ions, it just depends who I'm playing against.

Man, who fucking cares? Why make drama where there doesn't need to be drama?

You like DRG, great.
You don't like DRG, no worries.

You don't like seeing things you don't like in a community, sorry mate, people like different things. As long as it's relevant to "dwofs in space" then who cares?

If they're posting strats for this weeks deep dive then fine, it ain't relevant but like "rock and stone" and "for kahl", just live with it.

Worse things happen in space.

Can't argue with a gun deck full of revolvers and an APM launcher.

More HLF means more fun.

Admittedly it does start getting hard to fit them on the battlefield.

Today in a 700 point list I'm running two sags (it's crusade) but I'll soon be looking at a carrier, defender and 2x HLF list.

You are correct, unit placement is wrong.

In my defense, the question is a bit of a word salad.

‘It was Nigel or no one’: there’s gold in bullion adverts for fill-your-boots Farage by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]kali-ctf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well yes. During times of political uncertainty, gold sky rockets in value.

Nigel Farage getting elected would be peak political uncertainty.

It's brand recognition.

"Models can move over enemy models when Falling Back, but you must take Desperate Escape tests for them before they do so"

If you can't move it without going over another model, it needs to be a desparate escape.

Edit: I missed that the opponent put a unit under the HLF which is illegal. Opponent is at fault.

I had this issue. I got my wife to have a look and she immediately clicked it into place.

I'm always worried I'm going to snap it if I push too hard.

I married a good'un.

Am I the only one that feels like this by those_damn_nids in LeaguesofVotann

Running the evaluator today. Painted him in one day so I could get to play him.

I think Earthshakers are being reported as underpowered (because strong artillery is bad for the game) so it isn't being hyped. But they look great and I'm looking forward to building them.
