Thankfully doesn't happen anywhere near as much as what it used to but curious of what a more seasoned player would do in this scenario? Usually play 2v2 or 3v3 so sometimes we're really struggling for power but req is decent. Is it best to pile up on T1 / T1.5 (where possible) units to try and over...

Fair shout on the melee considering the units they'll be up against through T3. Been noticing it now.

That's twice in a row now my games have been far too unbalanced

I don't want to sound ungrateful or even a sore loser (trust me - I lose most of my games) but they've been over within 5 minutes.

Pretty rusty on IG but happy to give it a go!

Possible Vindicare Assassin Bug: When I click on a target, there will be several occasions where he runs towards them and gets really close as if he's in melee stance. He won't just get within range, set up and shoot. Also the Mark Target thing - I don't seem to see an indicator but it is considered...

Ok, been trying double Melee SS for several games now (irrespective of opponent(s)) so I might switch to one of each as another test - although my macro I'd forget which was which, forget to use the slow down ability etc etc. A point on the slow down ability, I could be wrong, but I think the Psybol...

As someone who has mained OM for some time now (and still terrible), I have fallen into the habit of sticking with ranged SS due to their previous benefits. In T2 they had the facility to get a Psycannon which was great for early AV. I think I'lll start playing around with Melee SS as when I've used...

Maybe they have x-ray glasses

Ah great - that's what I've been doing.

Suddenly occurred to me that I could be blinding my own guys

OK - so do you throw them on your own guys / allies to make it harder to shoot them

OR

Throw them on the enemy to hinder their shooting?

solid OM changes for 2.7.2, currently in its best state balance wise from when i join back in 2.4.2 to now OM have gotten better compared to how broken they truly were once. I've been playing them for a while and I'm still struggling - getting ruined 1v1 against IG at the moment as I struggle to ge...

Not much to tell, which is makes it more challenging perhaps... The installer downloads fine and both double clicking it and right clicking it to run (including as admin) result in the twirl by the cursor suggesting something is about to happen but nothing does. No pop up, no alert, not hidden box ...

Thank you very much guys! Literally never used Enfeeble as I tend to go Psychic Lash when there are set up teams that allow the grabbing of the gunner and Unending Purge to couple with Ageis and Purify abilities on the SS. Will have to give that a spin so thanks for the advice. I found a similar iss...

If I'm facing Eldar I know I'm in for a tough time regardless. As soon as I see banshees, I go for the melee upgrade on my first SS otherwise they get obliterated. Even with the melee upgrade, they get munched but less so. Their mobility of course really messes me up but ultimately I can't see any r...

My lack of knowledge on balancing etc to one side - I certainly think the Strike Squad changes and subsequent tweaks look good.

Looking forward to trying them!

For the Strike Squads - can you switch between melee and ranged upgrades?

My thinking is it's likely you'd go melee in T1 and look to potentially swap them to ranged in T2 to help a little with AV, so would this be possible?

Bear in mind, I'm still pretty low skill and I'm learning OM at the moment, I'll throw these comments into the ring: I don't seem to ever use Operatives, so not sure if having a Shotgun blast would be overkill. For me, they're really hard to manage and pretty much have to flee any engagement. I'm st...

I was just starting to use Ordo Malleus on 2.6 but it really feels like Strike Squads are made of paper now. I notice a difference in ISTs but that was to be expected based on the changes. The caveat is that I'm still a pretty terrible player but has anyone else noticed a stark difference for Strike...

Let's look at our game for example. It was a mirror game (which always sucks) but I approached it knowing the strength of IG and that is the Sentinel in T1. I simply engaged you when I knew I had the upper hand, which was the first engagement at your VP, and sent my Sentinel in with the Guardsmen i...

I know this is old but thought it made sense to keep my tales of woe in one place. :( Got back into playing again after a while and it's really not happening for me. Same situation no matter what faction/commander I'm against now (I used to only really face Ork WB). People have been super helpful an...

Sorry for the delay guys - you're all heroes! :) The above is helpful for sure. I went from a "standard" build (GM and Sent) with a relatively normal opening of grabbing VPs and local Rec/Power ASAP but was getting munched, to a more aggressive opening opening to GM, GM - use one squad to ...

Hi All, I LOVE this game but I STILL suck big time. I mainly play IG, and I've gone from LG, to LC and now Inquisitor and I lack answers to counter anything my opponent throws at me. I tend to play 1v1 against a friend from work (and other people too) and he's usually Ork WB and he just trashes me e...
