Re: Please Help!

You're either very unlucky - you went online at a time when there were no games of Elite beta 5 up. I doubt this though. Or more likely you've installed something wrong. Elite 2.2 beta 5 on top of normal retribution is what you're meant to do - although some people have been having problems with mos...

Re: Does GK need another AV squad?

Even with the changes to krak grenades, GK still lacks dedicated long-range av and suffers against any kind of vehicle play really. And the rhino is not good av yes because it keeps on selecting infantry while kiting. Could someone explain how this works? If it automatically chooses the target it do...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

To be honest I don't think there's anything new to say here. If something's going to get changed with tacs/SG it will be changed. The last 10 pages are pretty much all the same stuff just regurgitated and reworded. Again I'm sorry Magus but I cannot even fathom a change to tacs, and hardly one for S...

Re: Is it OP or is it UP?

I find a nice parallel is with Warp Spiders. They have great squad wipe potential in pairs (or 3s) by suddenly jumping on isolated squads often while there's a bigger fight going on somewhere else. Gates allow you to do this with an entire army. Especially the farseer. There is something fundamenta...

Or is this like the CSM vanilla AC where basically everyone agree it's imbalanced?

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

SG are probably the best T2 unit in the game at putting pure ranged dps on heroes. Magus I'm aware you believe passionately that tacs and sg should be buffed, but I'm afraid I must disagree with you. Like I said, I could concede a range increase on vengeance rounds but that's it for me. I may be mis...

Re: Could we change something with Orbs of the Omnissiah?

Orbs are also the best anti-bubbleshield thing in the game because of the insane amount of energy it drains and is pretty damn effective at disabling anything that requires energy. I would not make it point-and-click target on vehicles as that would ruin some of its utility while making the stronges...

Re: Land Raider Phobos

Rushing T3 and getting a super unit out is only really viable when you are already so far ahead and would likely push him out of the game by going for more T2, or when your opponent is not good enough to realise and push his advantage whilst you are teching and saving.

Re: CSM EW AC. Idea, reasons and video inside.

First of all, what the hell does leveling has to do with this? °_0 Nothing..? Second because the AC does 10 more DPS than the asm sarge and it was fine before because he was lacking a default ability. Which he now gets. So 33% more dps for the same amount of health (400) and a disruption ability do...

Re: CSM EW AC. Idea, reasons and video inside.

Nobody does, 25 power for that AC is simply not worth it just like paying 70 power for a lascannon wouldn't be worth it despite it sometimes still being useful. However, 25 power for an AC when you have a mark is worth it, so the solution is either to make the default AC better or to decrease the p...

Let me put this differently: is there anyone who genuinely believes vanilla CSM AC is fine in current form? make the AC on raptors do 10 less dmg Why?

I know that if your hero is in the process of carrying out an action (like using an ability or capping), then you cannot retreat if you get knocked down. This happens, for example, if you get knocked off a cap by the wse's deathspinner, or your painboy gets shotgun blasted while trying to cast a he...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

I cannot think of a MU where tacs consistently struggle or underperform. There will be games where SG are not the best choice for the cost, and there will be games where they will be the best choice. They're situational, so yes if you just blindly buy them they will likely underperform. I cannot con...

1. Teach me how to play since the game is so simple for you.

2. For god's sake of course 80 extra upkeep is worse than some bleed, it's like saying 30 degrees Fahrenheit is hotter than some temperatures.

Higher upkeep is worse since it's present at all time no matter how good you play and you can control bleed. It's that simple - you can just control bleed?

@Panda. SM's bleed and when they bleed they bleed hard. And they have higher upkeep which is the same as bleed. Sorry but higher upkeep does not have the same impact as bleed. And SM bleed very rarely - unless there is a discrepancy in skill level, SM will spend less reinforcing in any given MU tha...
