Hence the need for a FAQ!
Do spores count as having deep struck when they are placed as a result of a miss from a Biovore/Harpy, or not? That's a legit question in need of a FAQ.
While I'm...
Nobody, which is the point.
I played a test game last night with a buddy of mine.
Mawlocs are going to absolutely eviscerate backfield troops. Watch out if people take 3.
Also, the Crone's vector strike is probably...
No and No. I realize this thread is large, but we're not talking about stuff like that because it was discussed already. Not your fault, just explaining to you why the conversation has changed...
No good against most flyers, but that's what the Crones are for with the vector strike and tentaclids. And, the haywire thorax swarm is still S5, so it's a good flamer template to use against both...
2 x Dakka flyrants, toxin sacs
2 x Crones, toxin sacs
2 x Exocrines
4 x 30 vanilla Termagants
2 x 3 warriors, deathspitters and rending claws
1 x Venomthrope
1 x Zoanthrope
That leaves me...
I hear ya. I think that's probably how most people view them. I doubt much of anyone actually views them in the way you described.
I think they'd be doing a lot better for themselves (GW that...
Hmm...
Sad but true. And I'm still going to play their game. :-(
Well...you can put 6 MCs on the table alongside 120 troops, and still have room in 2K points for 6-8 other models. That's definitely different.
No kidding. There's no reasoning with a WAAC interwebz debater.
Yeah well...it says they do all of that FOR tableop wargaming. Strictly speaking, that means all those activities are subordinate to the purpose of tabletop wargaming. Not saying that's what GW...
You need to back off. Maybe you're a white knight by nature, but your crusade to make people see it your way is getting too aggressive.
He didn't misunderstand anything. In fact, he had a...
I understand that is their position, it's just a position that doesn't make sense to me. Any game where to players are pitted against each other and both are striving for victory over the other is...
It does not. The wording in the reference section of the codex is incomplete. In the wording where the rule is first discussed, it says the enemy psyker takes a -3 penalty to Ld if they are in...
I would argue that the responsibility lies with the game designer to do a thorough and professional job to minimize non-competitive rules. If the TOs need to clean up your rules to make the game...
Looks like only warriors and carnifexes get offensive grenades.
***edit***
Shrikes, too.
Order of operations is multiply/divide, add/subtract, set value. Since the initiative penalty for running though cover is a set value, it happens after you add the +3 from the whips, making you go...
If so, that would mean the Mawloc has the same rule and there is no way they would let three Mawlocs all deep strike on turn one.
Average would be 3 2/3s, given that you only get one Blind attack per model.
So I checked the entry for ripper swarms, it's just Deep Strike translated a la Español.
So the Spanish codex says they have a "Rapid Deployment" special rule. I wonder what that does. The Mawloc appears to have the same rule as well.
They do, 20 pts per model, Assault 1 blast S7 AP2
Yeah, seems to me though that Tyrant Guard won't be getting a whole lot of use with how much better dakka flyrants are now.
