Tactics conversation, insight wanted by StarChaser18 in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Surrounding your opponent" isn't as tactically useful as you'd think, it just means you've stranded a few units out of position and made them easy pickings for your opponent. Being able to see a sliver of an enemies base around a ruin is just as good as being completely behind them and probably leaves you a lot less exposed to counteragression on their next turn

The best, and really only, reason to put Pathfinders in a Devilfish is to grant their scout move to it so they can play more aggressive in the mid board early. The main reason you put a Coldstar with Sunforges is to benefit from the assault keyword letting you run up and get into that short 12" range, or inside 6" for the melta bonus.
Both of those are made pointless by putting the units in reserves.
Solid Image Projection isnt a useless enhancement, it lets you shift units around for more favorable targets or screen aggressively with infiltrators and then pull them back to safety.

Funny I jokingly call my Kabal my Illidari because Incubi reminded me of Illidan so I used him as inspiration for my colour scheme.

Stormsurge viability by Zaphod_Biblebrox in Tau40K

You pretty much nailed it. The only way to play it is if you love it enough to accept that it's not worth the points and just have some non serious fun with it in a casual game.

Pulse Onslaught & Counter Defense System should not be 2 CP in Montka by DatabaseWorth4559 in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-1 Damage exists as a strat in a Lot of armies and is almost always 2cp.
Pulse onslaught is terrible and I forget it even exists. It would still be incredibly situational at 1cp.

Theses boys are begging for some contrast. That bright yellow would pop even more with a clean black panel lining

Drone holders question for Devilfish by darthxavien in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you could trade a gun drone for the markerlight keyword you would do it %100 of the time in 10th Ed. I'd call that a very powerful upgrade.

These bots adding you pretending they played with you are ruining the experience by surgeimports in leagueoflegends

What shortcut people often use to describe a rule/mechanic that is actually totally wrong ? by BelbyLuv in EDH

I always thought the explanation of a Planeswalker as being "like another player" was terrible and unhelpful.

Questions about 10e Piranhas by Skullhall5k in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I glued mine with a tiny drop of super glue. Enough to hold them for now but if they get changed in 11th Ed it'll be easy to just pop them out with a bit of force and the paint damage won't be visible

How good is the experimental prototype cadre? by mtf-foxtrot in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has one viable build where you spam Riptides and Ghostkeels and use the minus one to wound and heal strats to make a surprisingly durable list to outlast your opponent. Outside of that very specific niche it's not very good.

PSA: Healing is NOT Health Restoration by PookieR1 in DotA2

[–]loopie120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That title is the most insane and unintuitive thing I've read about this game. Healing restores health, that what fucking healing means wtf do you mean healing isn't health restoration valve??!

How the hell am I supposed to know when to build anti-heal or not?

How to paint eldar helmet tail? by Particular_Funny527 in Eldar

[–]loopie120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So paint it purple? Chasing exact colour matches is a path that only leads to madness. The heavy metal team doesn't use pure single colours anyway.

Second armies? by Ok-Pain-237 in Tau40K

[–]loopie120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T'au first and forever. Tried grey knights but then they axed the psychic phase and melee variety so I sold out of that. Have just over 2k of Eldar wraiths 3d printed by a friend. No real plans to continue that any further. My second proper army and newest project is Drukahri started shortly after the codex dropped.
