Watching this video I don't think stikkbombs got buffed. https://youtu.be/LEydDGLlkgc?t=793

That grenade buff was the stragest buff. How many grenades does it work on anyway?

Didn't know you could sacrifice shrine bloodleters but considering how's the ability of chaos to hold the line normaly it might not be that bad. I'd have to see it happen to make a real decision though. Anyway usually I see people use that global to win engagement they'd be barely loosing and as lon...

Each and every one of them except the penultimate one. That one is just plain silly.

Well since this is a completly fantastical and unrealistic thread about OM balance then all I really want to see are Grey Knight terminators in T2 and the dreadnaught in T3. I don't know how you'd balance it but it's lore friendly and come on, T2 terminators and end game dreadnaught. It's awesome an...

So on a rellatively similar subject, any tips on how to deal with then as tyranids. Yeah I know flank them, fight somewhere else or get some teamate to help you but sometimes none of these options are available and you. HT can tank, RA tunnel, LA is LA. You've got raveners at your disposal. And spo...

You know if you find spotter to hard to use you can always go for catachans. They are weaker at dealing with ranged army a bit but they can fight. Also to answer your question about T2 AV your options are storm troopers, HWT (bought in T2), commander wargear or Ogryn if you'e feeling a bit ballsy.

i actually have a question as well (for the more exped ig players) how critical is a sentinel to an ig build order. generally speaking i hate vehicles. i hate their path finding, i hate how exposed they are if the rest of your army is forced off. The sentinel in particular is very pop heavy but it ...

Damage per hit or per second? 20DPS is half the dps of a default FC and only 6 dps less than a tac sarge or LC leader... The sarge does not need a dps increase. If the chainsword bothers you so much you can remove the visual and soundeffect to be happy :) Yep. IG sarge is mostly a reinforcement dis...

I've been trying out the suggestions people have been making, and I quite like what I've tried so far. However, I'm still wondering: How do you guys determine whether to get HWTs, Cats, or spotters? All of them have various forms of disrupting enemy squads/armies - spotters can effectively shut dow...

Yeah sorry I see it now... I saw the 2.5.1 section and I thought it was all there was to the post. I also checked the codex but I wasn't sure it was up to date.

Well heretic damage had gone down but not their health. So a player can still be aggressive with them you just won't get as much as a reward if successful. You keep saying that but I'm almst sure I read on the 2.5.0 release notes that their health was lowered too. Although it's so fucking hard too ...

Really testing the validity of the phrase never enough dakka right there.

Uhh... Umm... Special inquisitorial project?.. Ok I've got nothing.

Sure the last stand makes sense! A couple badasses got tired from their respective factions and they decided to secede and ally for their own reason with the appropriate reaction from their race. Or in the case of the bloodied colosseum it's just chaos doing chaos stuff.

Well this is the gift that keeps on giving isn't it?

Tyranids Hormagaunts - they are already really fast, their models are spread out (which means shotgun blasts usually don't cover the entire squad, suppression doesn't do much damage to it while they slowly approach plus fire weapons don't rape them as hard as they do Tics for example), and when the...

Nah I find that the dakka deffgun sound fine if you consider that orks usually tend to favor quantity over quality. Mind you you could always go over the top and make a mess of things by adding the sound over itself as if you were trying to double the amout of bullets being fired. The beammy deffgun...

As far as what units to use execute on I'd say that you had the right idea by using it to empower the already scary damage of you setup team but you can also use it on ctachans. Storm troopers are also an other unit that work since the higher dps they gain will make up for the loss of a single model...

Well alright that has the decency of being clear at least. But still feel like 1v1 also has it's own kind of variable unique to it like how good races are a capping the edges of the map or how good they are at holding a central point with as little units as possible. So unless the amount of variable...

Yeah and i still say that the balance should be made on 1v1. You can have a choice ... dont play that map or change commander / race... Or ... lets start to make maps that are even for all races. So what you're saying is that we shouldn't focus on team game balance because most team game maps aren'...

Sad but true , the map in DoW2 it does matter. Faster ppl will understand that , faster we will get better players. Just simple example , Desert Showdown 2v2 map , that map , especially spots with Power Node are really great for builds with 2 setup teams or even 3. Snipers build , nade ticks builds...

I could have sworn they did less damage but I don't remember when such an update was implemented. Oh well they are kinda broken in retail anyway.

And as stated before, they give as much XP as GM models. Doesn't seem something out of the ordinary. Well keep in mind that guardsmen also have 25 more hp and don't have to get in melee to do damage.

Before you roll out the fix there's an other small issue that happens with the army painter this time in retail. When I play a game in Elite I will lose whatever custom color scheme I made for the necron overlord so could you look into that?

Not sure removing the melee charge on meltagun raptors was really necessary. They suck at actually dealing damge in melee but they still can tie up a squad more efficiently than some other units. Not that it really matters that much either ways really.
