Nids just don't belong in this game from a lore perspective. Small armies of squads that gain veterancy and retreat rather than being wiped is not remotely niddy in nature. True to some extent, agree with it lorewise. in lore nids literally throw shit at a wall until it breaks, billions of casualti...

I can only speak for myself being a Tyranid Fanboy in the tabletop game: I find the Tyranid playstyle I know and love from the tabletop sadly a bit lacking. In DOW2 you don't really have a swarm of weak units. So the playstyle for me wasn't that much different than Eldar or Space Marines which I pla...

I'm all for a new T3 units for Eldar: Striking Scorpions that is. In all seriousness, I don't see Eldar being in dire need of balance changes especially after the Falcon and the Ranger nerf. What could work, in my opinion , which is rather based on what doesn't break my fluffy heart of lore and back...

Thanks for the update, I think when the next Beginner-Tournament hits, I will finally get to play it.

Scanning through the Codex (7th edition but still), I simply don't get the fear of the grey knights (OM) being to close to Space Marines. So what? They are basically psychic dudes in power armor, whereas Chaos is evil dudes in power armor and space marines are...generic dudes in power armor. As far ...

I think that idea is super cool. When I started playing elite I got the idea that all the new units and balanace changes could really spice up the single player campaign(s) of the game, becuas ethey were quite strange gaming wise (mega hp-pools, anti-everything weaponry, broken abilities). Your idea...

[A player being happy over this awesome game] ...is greeted by his zynical brethen and sisters in this forum. Great work, community. Don't you have a random balance post to spew your negativity or do you just have to spoil the rare glimpse of happiness in this forum/game? Reconsider life, pls. Gree...

[Some wild mathhammering] Great, now I imagine a falcon with a plasmagun armed Space marine hanging on the one side and a flamer armed Space Marine hanging on the other side roaming the fields of Green Tooth Gorge like the Psychos in Borderlands. Thanks for that imagine! Not really apples and orang...

I'm sorry but no. Warp spiders do not have the same armor as space marines. Warp spiders armor is way more advanced, plates that are soft but harden on impact, but also offer less protection than your typical space marine armor. Unless you have some sources saying otherwise? In TT however they do i...

Hej fellow elitists, One thing bugs my mind every time I see it and that is why the Warp Spiders are labeled as infantry when in the fluff/lore they have the same armor as a space marine. I see, however, that from a balancing standpoint the infantry armor is more suitable. So what I want to discuss...

how about changing the seer councel models for an sheme (like saim-hann or Exodits) to striking scorpion models instead cuz eldar have seer councel in t3. giving them another unit like Scoripions in t3 which are most similar to them doesnt make sense This would quench my desire for a striking scorp...

Tier 1 Striking Scorpion call in for all eldar commanders similar to the inquisitor's stormtrooper global. 400/40/50ish, 4 or 5 man squad with ~~ 1k hp and infiltrate. melee damage, decent shortranged damage, infantry armour and melee damage. exarch in t2, can upgrade with a two handed chain sword,...

Zoanthrope: Zoanthropes now have two fire modes - Warp Blast and Focused Warp Blast. Requires a toggle to go between them. 6 seconds to swap between the two modes. Warp Blast is the same as the default attack. Focused Warp Blast removes area of effect damage, changes the damage type from psychic_pv...

I just looked up if there is something about the falcon in the initial list posted by Atlas and it actually isn't. So I think it would make sense if he wait how the nerf of the falcon in 2.8. turns out and then dive into the discussion once again.

Yeah, WS/DR/FD/WG are all very niche choices which should be pretty obvious given how many different options the eldar have in the T2 and so each individually will never be used compared to the falcon. A better comparison is the falcon vs WL. In which case the falcon is gigantically superior in pre...

Hej guys, Because there is this word "concensus" flying around and I'm not sure, based on the then following discussion, if the word is clear to all. Here's a quick link to the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision-making I want to point out that if there is no clear ...

Am I the only one who thinks this game is pretty decently balanced?

Greets
Schepp himself

Yep, simply the slower movement speed means all models don't get into combat as fast, which can mean the initial models that do die quicker as all enemy models focus on them. Also, during the full mleee engagement with all models, specials will proc, when suppressed the models tha get knocked back ...

Might I ask what you need to be a lead balance designer? Being able to read would be a plus I guess... :P As for whoever wants to be a balance lead designer, I'm not particularly partial on who handles the job. To clarify what a balance lead designer actually is, they are the person who offers the ...

Hello fellow elitists. I always wondered what the downsides are when a unit is supressed but also stuck in melee. As I got it, the cooldown of a melee weapon is 0 so no multiplier can increase it. And your speed is not of importance if you are in melee anyways. So, what is left? Am I overlooking som...

I don't know ybout you guys, but that balance reason doesn't satify me. I can understand it from a balancing standpoint and it may turns out balanced in the end but still somehow feels wrong.

Lets point out the obious here. Why they are so expensive to reinforce? They cost less than any Terminator variant, they are much fragile than any Terminator variant, they even do less damage from their Storm Bolters compared to SM variant (30.71 vs 33.87 dps) so in short, pretty much Chaos version...

No I don't think this thread has much value so far to be honest. I don't see how that would make unprovoked personal attacks ok though... Apart from the shitposting I think this thread, and other Antandron threads, have the value of being topic/thesis+reason+data. That is 100% more value than other...

Hello. Im relatively new to Elite mod , recently ive picked up playing OM , but however after some time playing (bout 5 matches?) , ive run into a problem. im fine when im fighting armies such an IG , But when it comes to more swarmy armies (Tyranids and Orks). I Seem to be in a situation which i j...

In other news I went through all the 2.7.2 games of IG vs Eldar where both players had a rating of 1300 or more, with an exception made for Lomors. ROFl with 28 of those 54 games being me you may as well say you analysed my games rather than IG vs ELdar :P And I am a part time nub And that's a MVP ...

I'm looking forward to play again! Thanks for putting this up, Hesus!

[...] No because the game is asymmetrically balanced and bad MUs do exist. Though I very rarely see people adapting. Vs IG you obviously need to go triple terms -> BSWB -> venom + zoan in T2. Yet I still see horms with upgrades, 2 terms, ravs even and sometimes Tgs in t2! Bizarre. Or charge on the ...

If you can be patient for a little while longer: Adila is working on a How-To document for each race which is compromised of high-level players‘ input on how their respective main race has to be approached mechanic-wise and matchup-wise. Iirc it will also have a paragraph on each races hero. It wil...

On a different note though I do think encouraging small re-balancing of all the none-die-last heroes so that they are still balanced in spite of being cheaper to buy back would be a good call. It's just a little more 'fun' as random leader wiping is unnecessarily punishing but it still gives some r...
