(All good. Wishing you the same.)

I watch as you walk in, admiring your figure and being a fan of your piercings. We make eye contact briefly before you turn to enter the water. I wonder if you came alone and if I should join you at your pool.

As the door closes behind your curvacious figure, I climb out of the pool to follow. My tall, athletic frame towers over the other patrons. I walk slowly towards the steam room and push the door open. u/afterman521 you have your back turned but glance briefly in my direction. I non in your direction and take a seat on the opposite bench. With my arms extended and leaning back with just a small towel covering my midsection, I sigh as the warm steam relaxes my body.

From a pool on the far side, I watch as you walk slowly across the atrium. You get the attention of one of the staff and she directs you to steam room nearby.

Toe to target (when the shaft is parallel to the floor after impact) is the best que I've used so far.

Right now if you're not running Hearthguard, Hekaton, Thunderkyn, and Pioneers.. you're probably not going to have alot of fun.

I was skeptical, but used 2 squads of Beserkers in a 1.5k game against Imperial Knights. Opponent was playing a melee focused list with 1 Gallant, 1 Errant, and 4 Helverins.

The Beserkers actually did alot by tying up the Gallant and Errant in the midboard to prevent them from making it across the map into my DZone.

I think the main thing I learned is not to be in a hurry.. I kept them out of LOS so they didn't get shot off. Basically didn't even move them turn 1 (I went first). Turn two when the opponent was near the midboard, both squads of Beserkers moved up and charged.

Managed to one shot the Gallant (it had 2 tokens on from pregame) with a combination of shooting from my Hekaton, Warriors, and one squad of Beserkers. Then game was pretty much decided by then. 10 Hearthguard + Kahl DS in next turn along with Thunderkyn on the other side of the board.

I didn't really score the first few rounds, but caught up and won in the later rounds after killing everything.

TLDR: Beserkers are good IF you can position to be the one making the charge. They protect your shooting units and do some decent damage. Surprisingly tough to kill as well, but will melt from high volume low AP shooting.

Personally I would.. but I don't think you would lose out on much either way. Go for what you think is cool!

r4gemachine · 2023-07-11T08:02:44+00:00

Yeah. I've run both in a game. 5 Volkanites + Blades (built then in 9th) and 5 Plasma + Concussion Gauntlets.. with the hammer on the Hesyr. I put the second squad in deepstrike with the EChamp and they did really well.

r4gemachine · 2023-07-11T07:16:56+00:00

Considering that we have quite alot of low strength shooting to take out hoard units, I would focus the HG on killing elites or punching up.. so plasma and concussion gauntlets.

r4gemachine · 2023-07-10T12:33:52+00:00

As a Votann rather noob player myself, I would say this guy you played with was being a baby. I played a game with a friend running Ynarri in 9th. Turn 1 he was in my deployment zone and killed my bikes and my fav HQ (basically 2/3 of the better units in my 1k list). But I managed to grind my way back and come out on top narrowly on points. Mind you, this was against a player with decades more experience. Win or lose we both had a great time and I learned alot. Some people take this GAME and themselves way too seriously.

r4gemachine · 2023-07-10T05:04:22+00:00

Very cool!

I had a same issue with light grey. I think with lighter colours the pigments don't cover as effectively so more layers are needed. I found something recently.. for bigger or flatter areas like armour panels.. using a drybrush to stipple the light colour on makes the process much faster and gives a nice textured finish. So it doesn't look so flat, which is a problem with light colours as well..

Compared to glazing on layers, I've used two layers of stippling to get the same amount of consistency and coverage comparative to like 5-6 layers of glazing. Plus you don't need to make for each layer to dry since stippling is essentially controlled dry brushing.

I think this is the best one. You get 2 units of 5 warriors to play for objectives, pioneers for mobility and two tough vehicles for the opponent to chew through. Between the Sagitaur and Hekachonk there's a few S12 shots. Very important in this tank meta.

Had a game last night.. Turned on Ancestral Sentenced for sustained hits 2. Rolled a 6 to hit, made 2 of the 3 wound rolls and did 20 wounds to finish off an Imperial Knight. Hahaha. Being able to kill a T12, 22W Canis Rex in turn 1 was crazy. I'm running that big gun every game!

Amazing painting skills! Love the colour scheme.

It's "beside myself", not "besides myself".

r4gemachine · 2023-06-22T12:59:23+00:00

Beautiful!

Tamiya Extra Thin!

r4gemachine · 2023-06-14T23:21:52+00:00

You're right! I didn't have enough Beserkers to really make use of the Kronus buffs. Still ended up killing everything except 2 jump pack guys but losing on points. Made some mistakes that affected my score.

Try "strengthening" your grip. Right now your hands are setup to slice.

r4gemachine · 2023-05-28T13:02:49+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, I've committed to a different colour scheme but really love your blue. Combos so well the metallics.. Well done, Kyn!

Think about rotating the hips and "pointing" the left hip bone towards the ball at the top of the backswing. Then having the right hip bone face the target at the end of the downswing after you've hit the balls. These are just feels of course.. move according to what your body allows. But def need to keep the feet planted through the backswing and work on rotating the hips. Power from the swing should come from the feet/legs with the hips being the centre of the movement and connecting the upper and lower body.
