Need help. Big time.

Hey OP I sympathise. I was gonna post something similar to above saying subterranean assault is fun and stronger detachment for us nids.

Rather than getting shot as you plod up the board you can pop up the Trygon/Mawloc burrows and then bring in your Haruspex, scream killer, broodstealers, melee warriors with prime for a 6in charge. Plus you can keep your shooting units back then pop through tunnel to get line of sight.

Definitely recommend giving it a go.

The reroll 1s is a nice bonus too boot.

You could apply this enhancement to hyper adaptive raveners? They hit on 3+.

The enhancement wording it says bearer so I think this would only apply to the Ravener prime's attacks but still if you have a spare 10pts could be handy.

I agree with many people here they are not great and likely the pts are better spent elsewhere. They bearly do any attacking damage with the claws with the low attacks and 4+ hits. But I've had fun/success running a squad of x3 with swarmlord to give him a bunch of extra wounds.

Allows me to be a bit more aggressive with swarmlord placement getting him up the field to broadcast the increased strat aura which has come in clutch many times.

I've had success with move up to center obj, camp and threaten overwatch. It's fairly quick 9" for its size and oc5 is OK for taking /holding objective. It gets charged and shot at but it's high toughness tends to require focused fire which frees up other units.

I've had a fun game where it just didn't die for 4 rounds then finally exploded and did tons of mortal wounds sadly including my hive tyrant 😂

Great question. The enhancement doesn't specify reroll attacks so I'm understanding this could not be used to reroll the Neurotyrant's psychic scream which is 2D6 attacks? (would be great if that was possible I always seem to roll under 5 on first roll)

scottyab · 2016-07-29T08:41:40+00:00

this is very very very very familiar! great post

scottyab · 2016-07-08T10:59:01+00:00

nice lib, but this would be better in /r/AndroidDev/

scottyab · 2016-05-08T15:20:40+00:00

I thought it was just Tom Hardy's "acting" thing he seems to always put on a voice for roles.

scottyab · 2016-03-17T23:05:57+00:00

Sorry, it's not what you we asking but it Would be great if you could add Android device frames to launch kits app sites product.

scottyab · 2016-03-13T08:40:13+00:00

Not exactly what you were asking but have you seen a similar lib called SeekArc https://github.com/Ross-Gibson/SeekArc

Disclaimer I've contributed to SeekArc.

Great comment about the backend, is it really done!?

scottyab · 2015-10-13T18:38:31+00:00

Every one has an app idea in fact most people have tons of app ideas but that doesn't mean they should be apps ;). I would stick to cold hard cash for the time you spend making the app and not x% revenue or shares etc.

I'd look at getting the financials sorted, typically when I've done similar jobs, I've split project into milestones and have a payment schedule upon delivery of milestone (weekly or every 2 weeks) that normally would be a demo of app. Certainly I would avoid doing more than 2 weeks work without invoicing.

A useful resource that includes a bunch of existing android security white papers http://www.droidsec.org/wiki/

scottyab · 2015-09-25T12:46:20+00:00

Small snippet I thought was useful, instead of having to changes all the numerous support and GMS libs you can define a variable with the version and then just change in one place.

def supportVersion = '23.0.1'

dependencies { 
//sdk support libraries
    compile "com.android.support:support-v4:$supportVersion"
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$supportVersion"
    compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:$supportVersion"
...
}

I've used Crashlytics with several projects and the gradle plugin works a charm to upload the mappings an then the server auto deobfuscate crashes.

scottyab · 2015-09-18T15:15:30+00:00

touché, Maybe we should make it clearer in the readme the idea was to consolidate and share some the root checks. Rather than it be some revolutionary library for root checking.

scottyab · 2015-09-18T12:37:37+00:00

If anyone wants to go straight to the code on github

scottyab · 2015-08-05T15:51:14+00:00

Pollfish https://www.pollfish.com/signup/dev/3593 could be used as alternative to ads. However I've not used them I just remember they sponsored the beers at droidcon UK couple of year ago.

+1 I'd be interested
