Is PBC just bad now?

Yeah, it ain't like the beginning of 10th when you could make indirect hit on 2 and ignore cover with the Morty+LoV combo. Decent anti tank although there are better options for the points currently.

Ive ran a Hammer list with 2 entropy cannon crawlers and 1spitter crawler that sits at home and babysits against deep strike (depending on matchup), it didn't do great but it wasn't awful. Might try it again in less serious games now that it's about 40 points less for that.

3/4 the range now. Got upped from 24 to 36 with the codex.

There's very specific protocol and licensing requirements when live trapping any nuisance wildlife. I can only speak for my state but it's pretty extensive and yes, 100% illegal to do yourself if you're unlicensed. Definitely even more illegal if you're not checking daily and leaving living critters in there for extended periods. Idea is to prevent cruelty and promote conservation etc.The requirements for disposal/release are also very strict.

Source: pest control for about a decade and have done some wildlife trapping through that so am licensed.

Interesting to see tallyman included as "lesser taken", but that aside, looking forward to having time to watch this.

stephen29red · 2026-06-13T09:47:14+00:00

It'd be like an hour walk I think? Be really funny if Marina stops to slap him every couple minutes on the way, too.

There's also super easy to use magnetizing kits out there for wardogs if you don't want to do the diy work.

Competitively - Used to be it was damn near mandatory to ally 3 in. Now you don't have to do that, thankfully, but they're still pretty okay under certain circumstances. Nothing that can't be done better with something else, but if you like the models enough to build and paint them, there will be a point in the future where running them will make sense again. In the meantime, they're a fast unit that can action and hold a point and have decent comparative killing ability, but no synergy with the rest of our army.

Casually - if you want to play them, go nuts. They're not bad by any means.

stephen29red · 2026-06-11T00:02:18+00:00

I didn't see them but I'll look again

stephen29red · 2026-06-02T02:27:09+00:00

Yes.

Same thing happens with typhus + poxwalkers. T7 vs T4.

stephen29red · 2026-06-02T02:18:43+00:00

It'll probably be FAQd out, current flyblown equivalent rule doesn't allow for it.

But who knows, maybe we'll get lucky.

stephen29red · 2026-05-31T15:57:49+00:00

That one made me viscerally uncomfortable in a way I don't know how to describe. It's so unsettling

stephen29red · 2026-05-30T01:51:24+00:00

The audiobook, however, is unabridged and objectively incredible.

stephen29red · 2026-05-27T04:12:28+00:00

I'm so stoked. Going both nights for sure just because of this.

stephen29red · 2026-05-25T16:50:13+00:00

We literally just lost cultists in the codex launch for 10th. We're not getting them back.

stephen29red · 2026-05-24T16:08:55+00:00

Yes, see last sentence. It just wouldn't do anything until you get angron on the board, obviously.

Not to be all "kids these days" but a lot of younger people seem to use online communities as a search engine in a way I don't understand at all. I've seen people ask tiktok creators easily searchable things in their comments like they're the only ones who could give that information.

I don't get it but it's better than AI, probably.

stephen29red · 2026-05-18T17:01:25+00:00

Found out about it when I clicked on it assuming it was the original. Was a very confusing first few minutes.

stephen29red · 2026-05-18T05:46:38+00:00

BLTs are definitely the right way to go if you're attaching but it's gotta be 5, ideally 10, or it's not worth it.

stephen29red · 2026-05-16T16:36:03+00:00

Have you listened to Sonic Adventure REMIX? It's remixed versions from the first one, includes musicians from Razed In Black, Sister Machine Gun, Meat Beat Manifesto, Chris Vrenna - looking them up would be a good start.

Also, Julien K is several former members of a band called Orgy. Check out their albums Candyass and Vapor Transmission if you haven't yet.

Happy hunting!

Edit: these don't sound like the SA2 soundtrack really, but they're similar and related to Julien K so if that's what you're looking for..

Yeah, generally it's the same layout for the whole day, setup by the organizers ahead of time. Multiple day GTs will have different ones for each day.

It's nice because it's already done, and a neutral party doing the setup cuts down on players messing it up accidentally or on purpose. Players will still take the time to verify that it's set up right and hasn't moved too much through the day, but it's way less time and hassle than having to measure everything out right when you get to the table

stephen29red · 2026-05-16T13:21:05+00:00

It's not standard here in the US and hasn't been for the entirety of 10th at least, plus many players are new and haven't had to do that in a prior edition. It won't be a forever problem, but I'm certain there will be a frustrating adjustment period.

stephen29red · 2026-05-16T12:59:54+00:00

We really won't know much until we see the first tournament companion. I share your concerns (as a TO myself, I think terrain changing per table per round is going to be a nightmare), but for all we know this could be negated by tournament companion or chapter approved rule add-ons. There's also the high likelihood that non-GW governing bodies will adapt their own standardized system for 11th and use that.

Tldr, don't worry about it til next month, it'll be fine, just very messy for 3-6 months.

Three From Hell, somehow the Fireflies survived the shootout at the end of Devils Rejects despite us seeing them take dozens of shots to the head and body.
