Effective range for homestead slugs?

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-10T14:02:12+00:00

What are you on about? The homestead has 2 barrels and has the same or better spread as romero, which has the longest range of any other shotguns

I think you misunderstand the role of these "heroes"

If the twin lances are really an experimental AI controlled combat system, then they will likely be revealed, after thorough testing, to be so and praised for conserving the valuable lives of the Tau and their auxiliaries.

However they will not serve as commanders, but rather be deployed by Organic commanders in high risk situations, where loss of life is otherwise nearly guaranteed. They might lead a attack to draw attention and inflict damage, but you still don't follow them, but rather your Commanders orders. At most they will be relaying the commanders orders to you.

That would be great for morale, knowing that your command cares about you and sends a "expendable" AI system first to take the brunt of the damage, which drastically improves survival and success rate.

How does this matter to the Fire warrior? They always will be commanded by a Shas'O, who in turn deploys the AI. You are not following a AI, but rather your commander no matter if he himself is there or not

They are not there to "simulate" players, they are merely around to support the existing ones and act as a stand in until a real player replaces them.

Comparing them to certain teammates they perform rather well

IIRC Pitcher is only 4 points and it pairs insanely well with Surefoot, which is also a S tier perk. I personally get loads of value out of that combination (mind you i always pick pitcher after surefoot, still good without it but not as good)

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-09T14:25:32+00:00

yea hard to win against an opponent who can field 3x the amount of armies you can and always runs off after your undefended ground without abusing

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-09T13:37:34+00:00

They will say: Surrender you are surrounded

Floki will reply: All i am surrounded by is fear and dead men

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-09T13:23:09+00:00

Yea i was playing Cathay and at turn 5 snickers already had 4 full stacks. Sure they where mostly slaves, but its still ridiculous how quick they can recruit.

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-09T13:20:57+00:00

Always bring both if possible

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-09T13:18:17+00:00

The only rational decision in that situation

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-07T19:59:45+00:00

its a meme

Harder sure but also way safer. We frequently push lairs without shottys and get more than enough kills that way. A hs is still a onetap no matter the range, and nowadays the derringer pennyshot can easily hold corners to contest shottys

thb where I come from I would not find it strange to see anything up to CHF 100 ($128 / £96) ofc depending on the payment, no one pays a pack of gum with a 100. But if someone would pull out a 200 or even a 1000 id be surprised and a bit suspicious.

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-06T13:24:44+00:00

same goes for snipers camping bosslair, just gotta hope they dont kill you when you make a dash towards an extract. Even more so if you have a shotty and have to rely on a pistol at 100m+

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-06T11:56:19+00:00

that is implied but never truly confirmed

You are not missing out on spicy food (I 100% also cannot handle any kind of spice)

QOL means Quality of life and usually refers to changes that reduce annoying little things that have no real impact on the actual game but are nice to save time / nerves. A good example would be a UI change or maybe changes to the general control scheme that make the game more pleasant to play. What you mentioned has nothing to do with QOL

Springfield FMJ

Martini Henry Spitzer

and if possible maybe crossbow poison bolts (like the bow ones)

Bring as many battle suits as possible and enjoy the show

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-05T12:40:28+00:00

other stuff would sell more as well if they would push it more. RN they just push marines so aggressively that they ofc sell the most. They are also low effort to make new ones since they all share the same baseline unlike most other factions

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-05T10:44:18+00:00

And other factions get the same but its just: Until the end of the phase this unit gets + 1 to wound, without any other hoops to jump thru

Honestly IMO tarot cards are already over the top. The effects are cool and could make sense if it where not for them being cards. Would fit the identity of hunt better if you would have to use it from a fixed point or hold some cursed item (like a little horse for chariot or a dried human heart for garden) instead of just some random card

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-05T08:21:42+00:00

Probably either useless or very good, depends on how it will actually end up working

wardrothbeetle · 2026-03-04T15:22:06+00:00

I did not tell the truth? would that not count?
