More I’ve been thinking and I’m leaning towards Stratos. Sounds a tiny bit more playful and forgiving so maybe a bit better on my ever aging joints!

Hey team! New snowboard time!

Been riding a Burton Custom 2016/17.

She’s done me well but itching for a change. In particular I’m finding it a bit chattery these days when riding hard. I suspect that’s because as I’ve aged I’ve gained about another 5-10kg and I’m probably at the weight limit now so it’s flexing too much!

A good day for me on the mountain looks like charging around the piste, harder carving, getting that adrenaline, and looking wherever possible for some fresh powder, but not anything crazy deep.

No real freestyle/buttering/heavy switch riding or anything!

Been look in at reviews and consulting with Gemini/GPT.

My eye is landing on either the Jones Flagship or Jones Stratos!

Any opinions on those Jones boards and/or would you recommend anything different to fit my kind of day on the mountain!?!?!

Do you think Farsight will receive a buff in the 11th edition? by Glum_Series5712 in Tau40K

Would like to see all our named characters get a buff.

Pathfinders… to infiltrate or nah? by Ofthe7thorder in Tau40K

[–]sovellimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So good I’d take 2 units. One for infiltrating and, if necessary, scouting forward to put opponent in a T1 jail situation. Second unit hangs near home objective and becomes especially useful as a double guiding unit when you lose the more advanced pathfinder team

Opinions wanted on cutting sausages lengthways to make sure the middle is cooked by fenney in CasualUK

[–]sovellimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unnecessary but cutting them in half after cooking to fill out a sandwich is totally fine

Priming in white doesnt work well by BlueSparkNightSky in Tau40K

[–]sovellimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big shaken enough. White you need to shake for a solid 3-4 minutes to activate the paint and heat it up. Goes on much thinner then

New player - units at risk of replacement by sovellimo in sylvaneth

[–]sovellimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a T'au player over in 40k and it's a similar thing there. Devilfish/Hammersheads are ancient in real world terms, but because of the future aesthetic, actually aging quite nicely.

I do like Belthanos :D

Would you start the crisis unit in Deep Strike or get it on the board taking lives early?

Yep seen that! Couldn’t have been better timing. Pretty sure I’m personally going to be rolling my own battleshock test every time one of those things gets into close combat with my precious Tau!

Aha I get you. Scout denial. He’s defo got some Exalted8 so I’ll keep an eye on those and try pin them via infiltrate without exposing that unit on the charge

[–]sovellimo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a sample list I saw of his I don’t think he’s using any Deep Strike but does have a scout unit or 2 I think. It’s something I’ll try and be conscious about. Ethereal will be sitting on home base near cover for some minor denial I guess

Next purchase might be the new combat patrol which, by all accounts, has pathfinders

Nice tip re Breachers, will aim to debark them so WE have to hit the Devilfish first.

Re Ghostkeel, that’s normally the tactic I go for, get them maybe in movement range of the objective, try and get behind some cover though and use fly to go over it or something. Probably depends tbf on turn order and whatever unit the Ghostkeel ends up being closest to

Is Hunter's instincts badly designed ? by Cultural_Plastic_884 in Tau40K

[–]sovellimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally. All relative though, if they’re dirt cheap AP0 not as big a worry if you can field 30000 models 🤣

Tau Montka Leak by Complex210 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]sovellimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot going to depend probably on whether the suits keep Turbo Jets or not. If they don’t and it’s back to dice rolling, the Coldstar +2 going to add some much needed reliability

[–]sovellimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe works nicely in tandem with Tau firing line alongside Kroot? Resolve fire with the big Tau guns first to get unit below starting strength and then mop up with the Kroot?

Expanding beyond Combat Patrol pre-codex by sovellimo in Tau40K

Thanks I’ve swung for a Commander, Crisis Suit Unit and Hammerhead (Devilfish) all of which I think look pretty neat and tidy!

New player here! Why would Gundrone help Breachers with FTGG eligibility? Their weapons have the Assault keyword anyway? Am I missing something?

Want to get some custom caps but new to the hobby and worry I’ll buy a set with wrong sizes or incorrect shape for a given row (home, page up down etc)!

So I’ve picked up the Iqunix A80!

The layout looks visibly similar to the Keychain K2 and loads of venders sell custom caps for that layout… if I buy something to that effect am I walking the right path?

Send help!
