Re: 2.5.X Balance

As far as I know Kasrkin have being underperforming and they have tried to solve this by giving them more melee and a new ability to run, I would like to say that maybe Kasrkin are like terminators for the IG, not in the tank like aspect but in the meaning they have for the troops around them, afte...

Re: IG imbalances

Ehh, the issue with bane wolves is that it is a drop in gen basher / light infantry hard counter. and i know at the very least the lord general does not need that kind of perk when he already has such an idiotic amount of perks as is.

Re: IG imbalances

Being weak in melee is an explicit downside for gm they should never be good in melee in relation to the tier they are in. Thus even with a sarge they suck in melee and even with a commissar they suck in melee (in relation to t2 units...) And you have to think that dire avengers are all technically ...

Re: I just got why people don't like using Kasrkin

personally i think the main reason many people dont like kaskrins is that the things they get arent usually what people want in a t3 unit. most t3 units have a few things in common. high stats/ or insane abilities. nob? huuuuge hp pool, high model hp, power melee damage, good damage too. easily 4 - ...

Re: IG Tier 1/1.5

60 power is considered a rather light T1 in most cases tbh. I tend to do 60 power when I go light and up to 150 when I go heavy. I think I have done 200 power T1s as well (not as IG though) Interesting - would you say that you would spend 100-110 power on average in T1? And for context, is this 1v1...

True, but they are also a short range unit. if they are already in combat range of a ww. then honestly it doesn’t matter at that point. i see it as no different than say a melta storm trooper squad infiltrating and killing a manticore , or a burowed RA with corrosive devourer murdering a fire prism ...

Re: Scout sniper reinforce

Re: Banshee scaling, or lack of

Banshees chasing your units across the map and deleting them might not have been toxic and unfun from your (Eldar only?) PoV but it was from mine and others. Problem was banshees didn't just punish bad positioning. They punished almost any positioning. Rangers one shotting models doesn't take any s...

a better reason would be that they are composed of units that need more effort to actually be good. higher floor and ceiling means a greater variety of opinions since they would require more skill to actually nail down.

the warp spider callin is one of the better call ins in the game.

you get a reasonable reduction in req cost, a elimination of power cost and you can poop them anywhere you have los? god damn i wish some of the call ins from other races were half as awesome as that one.
