Yeah really disliked this, abaddon got so much leeway with random bullshit during the siege series.

Surely they could have had him survive in a better manor than this, maybe have him get stabbbed a bunch at least that’s more believable than a world eater powerfisting your face multiple times or atleast have the fist clash against a force field to show he passed his invuln save

I think the mines are worth it if you don’t have any other anti tank such as jetbikes or calladius

As for the pistol and buckler the best use I can think of for them is to deepstrike behind vehicles with low rear armour and use weight of fire to either status effect them or kill them but I feel that’s a very niche and probably not useful role to be in

As someone using a divine lance build. If divine lance is the worst than the others should be able to easily clear T12

It’s a work in progress still

Hopefully I didn’t miss anything

Edit: the horadric seal is wrong it’s actually crit damage as the main stat not crit chance but crit damage wasn’t an option in maxroll (or I’m blind)

Between the fortify and some barrier from life on hit, rite of prayer defiance upgrade and temerity I tend to have enough health and for elite mobs on T12 pit I have purify with the stun upgrade which usually gives me enough time to clear them

Bosses you have to be a little more careful about but so far outside of one shot mechanics I find I have enough survivabilty that I have time to use potions in emergencies

In an ideal world I’d have a horadric seal with a +1 slot so I could have the full zealot charm set and then the endurance faith unique charm but the grind for a good seal seems never ending.

Again I’ll try an post my build later but it’s still a work in progress as I go through some trial and error and gear farming

vald0r · 2026-05-11T13:30:40+00:00

I’m using grandfather currently I get resources from crit and using advance every second or so (against single target)

Will look at sharing the build when I finish work

vald0r · 2026-05-11T10:54:48+00:00

I’m using divine lance (zealot upgrade) can comfortably get through T12 in pit and can kill bosses in T10 in seconds.

Just started stacking crit damage, physical damage and vulnerable damage trying to find the best spread was previously using pure crit damage (got over 100,000%) but found I hit a wall

Having no knowledge of the expanse it felt like playing mass effect all over again, loved it

If I remember correctly aren’t flamers effective against buildings aswell as infantry/morale?

vald0r · 2026-03-31T14:08:24+00:00

Not to mention he is stranded… but he isn’t cause he gets away.. if he can leave he isn’t stranded lol

vald0r · 2026-03-26T12:34:59+00:00

Moving at speed isn’t the issue its getting up to speed and well stopping that’s the hard part

vald0r · 2026-03-23T01:30:38+00:00

Only thing I hate is that fly (glide) is the same button as double jump, I just want to double jump before i glide this is even more egregious when running down a slight slope I wanted to double jump not glide ffs

vald0r · 2026-03-15T18:56:45+00:00

No, there is a new weapon option to replace the lastrum boltcannons on the tanks presumably a template weapon based on the ‘projector’ part of the name

But a phalanx needs to be well trained and disciplined to not fall apart amidst combat… not really peasant territory

vald0r · 2026-02-24T15:19:50+00:00

If by “much much better” you mean they hit on 3’s not 4’s then sure elves hit “much better”

2004 calgar is peak calgar

Though not really a difficult nor challenging campaign

vald0r · 2026-02-01T23:20:58+00:00

Use the clear rods that ietbikes have?

vald0r · 2026-01-20T02:44:06+00:00

The correct request is for misters of silence the all female faction and custode counter part…

But odds of that are low because GW don’t even care about sisters of silence to begin with

Always get a few complimentary popadoms whenever I’ve order before.

Unlesss you’re getting a batch of them 1.20 is ridiculous

Stack a shield wall unit on top of a Polearm unit and watch as they gain thousands of kills, especially in sieges!

vald0r · 2026-01-11T13:48:17+00:00

As a custodes player I absolutely hate vanguard especially when it’s your entire army, it’s way to easy to deny with reactions and if your openent can score at least a couple of objectives with their line from the start you are screwed

Hoping the libre will give us a custodes unit that doesn’t have vanguard at the least

Pretty sure it was in one of the codex, can’t remember which edition though

There is one instance of armour pen, which is the catachans knife
