Re: mark of nurgle and slaanesh on chaos dreadnought ?
Please don't add this to chaos before the Tdread missile launcher is nerfed. wouldnt a new mark promote the use of the new mark vs infantry rather than MoT vs infantry? not sure of your logic here. My logic is that if I get a vehicle out, the Tdread handles it AND my infantry. No one gets the MoT j...

Re: Start of a New Series of Balance Topics - IG first
it still stands that until a player becomes pro, in this scenario against the revised sentinel, he stands at a significant disadvantage.
Thhis point is invalid given that balance is done around the performance of the best players.

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
I also want to contend that you need "dedicated" counters to deal with ogryns. How dedicated are shotgun scouts? Shurikens? It sounds from your wording that you are implying these counters are enough to not warrant dedicated counters. I wouldn't say these are sufficient counters: shotguns...

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
IG tier 2 is extremely potent. Honestly can't think of a T2 I'd rather have. GK is crazy strong but the cost is way high. However, its getting there comfortably which is the hard part. You have to survive a rocky, defensive tier 1. That's why I think the hellhound is such a good idea; it will provid...

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
Yeh soz Pro haha that's my bad.
@Torpid this is all true, but its not going to be easy to get Ogryns into a position where they can damage a walker in such ways?
However I'm sure we can agree the things Ogryns can do to eldar DAs and such without DR support are horrific.

Re: D cannons. yep ive heard enough hate:p
I get all that I'm basically asking if there are any models that will still be getting 1-shotted notwithstanding a reduction (say, half) in D-cannon damage. Due to the damage still exceeding their hp.

Re: D cannons. yep ive heard enough hate:p
I'm concerned that at faster speed it will still just own low hp model squads, even with lower damage. Even faster than it does now. Well if the maths is done properly it will be impossible for them to die faster as the dps will remain the same. I can't see how this works out, in the same way that ...

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
1) It makes them less useful vs walkers (their main use really) because they will get hurt even more from special attacks and lose significant amount of dps from earlier model losses. Ogryns are a stupid counter to walkers. Walkers get melee resistance and if you fail, you bled, and they gained exp...

Re: For Your Consideration: Elysian Droptroops
If ANYTHING, you could try and make them into some sort of support/map control like unit kind of like the sentinel but it can actually cap. Still, don't we already have catachans? I can so rarely afford to use catas to run around on their own because I need them to counter initiate and anti-blob fo...

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
That's the problem in 1v1, you blob too much around your spotters and you lose the entire map, so there's a trade-off between capping the map and winning engagements. This is tooo painfully true. IG's tier 1 units can't survive alone (catas are the most equipped to do so but still get outranged pre...

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
With respect to all, and I will say I do not consider myself as one of the skilled players I am about to talk about, I think IG are one of the hardest-to-play-well races (as opposed to, say, chaos, whose simplicity and unit roster allows for better use at lower skills. However, IG do have a much hig...

This I disagree with. Spotters are the best of a bad situation. I would much rather have a jump unit.

Re: Imperial Guard Discussion
For a start, and I quote Torpid (who is way more educated here than I am anyway): IG have arguably one of the best T2s. IG bleed far less than any other race. In tier 1 you can field more units at far less pop than other races. Take sm for example: 2 tacs and devs is like 1150 req. IIRC it is 42 pop...

Re: Get default weapon back on hero
It is part of the inherent balance of weapons such as the plague sword/bile spewer/Knob Knife that it is acknowledged that once you get them you can't go back to the more versatile high dps generic ranged weapons the heroes start with. This has always just seemed so clear to me. I don't think you s...
