Hello, think i'm gonna withdraw from the tournament next week. Just haven't really been playing lately, and there's something I want to go to next Saturday. Thanks!

The best idea i've heard so far is the removal of dmg resistance debuff and a slightly lower stun duration. The weirdboy should be able to counter the asm or w/e that plow into your shootas and give them a chance to back off/let your sluggas get into the fray, but i'll agree that with such a long du...

Am I the only one who thinks it's better as an upgrade? sure it comes out sightly faster but atleast they have to sacrifice a supression platform which becomes extremely useful later in the game either to keep a priority target to tie up or just to babysit a VP in late game, vs retail eldar it was ...

Isn't the point of upgrades supposed to be a "win" situation? Aside from a few exceptions where the upgrade may be considered a "sidegrade," the point of upgrades is to make your army better at the cost of resources, not somehow be a hindrance. Unless you're just saying that the ...

Here's hoping to not get matched against Toilalee in the first round again!

You can't really criticize someone for bumping a "dead thread" when it's the "ork topic." Otherwise, they would be creating new threads about discussed info and everyone would be all over that person for "making useless threads." Anyways, regen was removed from spiky ar...

You should seriously consider running it in Beta 3. The only thing broken now is ST nade Barrage, but compared to all the other positive fixes and balance tweaks (especially to Grey Knights themselves), not to mention webway gates and Nid towers, I think it is well worth going with beta 3. Definite...

This. My vote would definitely be for Necrons, if it were possible with available resources.

I disagree. The time you spend firing at that vehicle with your anti-infantry squad could be put to much better use focusing infantry in 90% of situations. Sure, you might force off the vehicle a little quicker, but the rest of the army you neglected to pressure will be in your face with full health...

This is awesome! I greatly appreciate the continued support for DOW2 :) if I had the skills to contribute I would, but alas my career path does not lie in technology. I look forward to a new race, and of course the fine tuning the balance of current races. Thanks Caeltos and those contributing to th...

Will Saturday's tournament be using 2.1 or 2.2 beta? I didn't see this addressed anywhere, and was unsure if 2.2 was considered stable enough for it, even though my preference would be 2.2. Thanks

with 2 termagants that's 66% of the dps of a venom brood squad, now that in t3 you have 2 leaders in 2 absurdly hard squads to force off because of ES + leader and over 3kHP + no bleed, a venom brood for dedicated AV, and let's add in the mix commander AV or something like a carnie or lictor, and w...

While losing models like crazy to the dread multi melta is annoying, the dread does need to close distance with the enemy, putting itself at risk. If anything, reducing it's accuracy vs. infantry would probably be alright, but even then, it may become something nobody purchases given the upgrade alt...

We've already derived such an equation for 1v1: IG = SM < chaos < eldar < orks = nids I derive this purely on anecdotical evidence ftfy ur welcome This. Just because one or two people make some bs little "equation" doesn't mean that it can be quoted like it's some kind of fact.

Of course we're going in circles; you have your view, and I have mine. You think orks are OP, I disagree. I doubt any amount of back and forth posting is going to change either of our minds. I'm just kinda sick of everyone bashing on orks. Why don't we just remove big shootas, make the painboy have ...

The painboy just makes sluggas do something in t1. Oh no, instead of bleeding 3 models before they get into the fight (and getting wiped in the ensuing melee), they can actually make an impact. Like Caeltos said in the other post he made tonight, painboy builds can be very power heavy. The painboy ...

I would remove the DoT from his melee and give it back when he uses the health/speed/damage upgrade. That's actually a pretty reasonable suggestion, keeping him still relatively strong in t1 but not killing his scaling potential later on. I certainly don't think it should just be outright removed c...

I am well aware of the tools orks have to help counter jump squads and I realize the price differences of asm and sluggas. What's wrong with a 350/30 investment to have sluggas counter the unit that shuts down half the ork's army (shootas)? That's 685/50 power for burna sluggas/painboy, I would hope...

Keep in mind that an ork player usually has to choose between a painboy and lootas/stormboys unless he goes for a very heavy t1 (seeing as big shootas are more or less a required 40 power used already). Yes, the painboy is good at what he does in t1, but stormboyz(and probably lootas) can do a hell ...

Alright, I may have understated the nob upgrade when I used the word "slightly." It is awesome (pricy in power, but that's understandable), and I also consider it usually a t2 upgrade (something to buy while t2 is in queue most of the time). I do look forward to seeing more slugga play, an...

⋅ I STRONLGY second Nuclear Arbitor: webway gate abilities to "W" with gridkeys please. ⋅ Wonderful Vanguard changes, really think the range penalty on Vengence rounds should go as well. Range 30 AV damage = :( ⋅ Ork changes hit things that needed it, but mor...

While as "cool" as an AV deff dread would be, I would also have to agree that it is out of place. It's an anti-infantry walker, and really should be kept as such (hence the splash damage, anti infantry/gen upgrade). Sure, it can help a little taking down another vehicle with support, but i...

Try using the Painboy explosion on a shoota nob I know i've accidentally clicked on the nob a couple of times during frantic battles lol

Avoiding attacking the Warboss with the only squads that would be hurt by spiky armor (heretics, sluggas, hormaguants, and banshees) is extremely easy. I can't think of a single situation where I actually needed to move my melee in to engage the Warboss when I can have my melee go elsewhere and use ...

Another wargear that I believe should be looked at is spiky armor for the Warboss. I get the nerf to HP regen on it, because of the restoration of angry bits regen and what would be stacking regen similar to painboy+bits, but I just can't ever justify spending 25/30? power on 250 hp with an passive ...

Signing up.

This. Why is everyone so eager to nerf him? Or orks in general, for that matter.

I won't comment in regards to balance with races I don't play much, but as an Ork player, I can tell you that the main reason I buy 2x shootas as opposed to going 2x (or even 3x) slugga w/ 1 shoota, or even 2x slugga into quick Loota/Stormboyz is because of difficult it is to take on heroes (melee o...
