Re: (Suggestion) Maybe a third weapon for chaos sorcerer

I recall someone requesting some of the following back around late 2014/early 2015: A Lightning claw that didn't have splash damage but gave an ability that made a single target intangible (like bloodletters) which could be used to stop a tanky commander from being devastating for a bit or to clutch...

Re: 2.9.1 Released!

I'll post replays later to support this but 2 bugs I've found: Nurgle shrines will sometimes suppress allies shortly after being destroyed.

Re: Do other IG players make use of "Loyal to the End"?

Re: So... since I came back...

I think I need to clarify on my suggestion for "gas canisters". I didn't mean it would outright increase their ranged damage although that would probably work out just as well. I was more so thinking of making ranged attacks have some form of infectious result. The Codex does not support ...

Re: Eldar Faction is way under powered and Forgotten

A Few comments: 1) Welcome to the forums 2) You generally don't want to use 3v3 games as your basis for balance. The Game balance at the 1v1 level is the priority. 3) The Avatar isn't just a beatstick unit, it's meant to provide army wide support ("Allied infantry units within 20 radius do 30% ...

Re: How Should I use Tzeentch Shrines?

At the very least, the shrine appears to provide the buff indicator for vehicles.

You can see the buff aura around the Dreadnought at this point. Later at ~27:59 you can see that the dread no longer has the aura.

Re: One of the two.

I will agree that its silly how tanky gaunts can be when compared with GM, but karkins are already really good. As long as you keep them back a tiny bit, theyre going to typically cause alot of bleed for your opponent. They're a fantastic unit for that reason alone. Also, kommandos and seer council ...

Re: (IG) buff leman russ plasma executioner

The executioner is a higher risk weapon than the vanquisher since it does have to get closer to the action BUT unlike the vanquisher, an executioner can go on a killing spree and absolutely annihilate unprepared infantry armies. Its well worth the risk and current cost.

Surely we could reduce their dps to compensate for an increase in accuracy? Unless I'm over simplifying things, it seems to me that its just a minor rng tweak that would make them more consistent in their performance.

Re: Chaos Sorcerer 3rd Weapon wargear ideas

Give the Sorc a ranged weapon to deal damage. However I suggest something similar to the Techmarines plasma gun. This will give the Sorc a different play style that is not so much focused on sorcery but on straight up DPS. This is useful for scenarios where you just want your Sorc to sit back behin...

This is a neat Idea but Im not sure why we would have a global that costs no red.

It shouldn't be moved to T1, because it allowed for chaos to easily snowball against some of the squishier races during the transition to t2.

I want to reiterate this. Protagonist I think you're belief that Ogryn's main use is countering walkers is a misguided one. They are a semi-hard counter to ranged walkers and best.

I do like the idea of an increase in the number of ogryn models(adjusting stats as needed). Currently the squad seems to be really inconsistent with its tanking. Sometimes the squad is down to ~150 hp with all models and other times with only 1 remaining. This can make gauging how the engagement is ...
