Re: GM's portable cover

The reason I think the build speed should be increased is because pathing cannot be addressed, you can't change it. Well, I didn't mean changing pathing directly. One of the reason I brought up eldar shield is because of how it is built in practice. Ability creates a single rectangular block that c...

Re: Discussing countering melee with GK

...a thing that all other races do passively and with noticeable longer range. They also almost always require setup, vulnerable to flanking and are generally squishier and more cumbersome than purgators. I, for one, find it fine that we have a new race that doesn't carbon-copy some to-go stuff mos...

Re: GM's portable cover

I might need some help with that Post Traumatic Chaos Lord Disorder. Well, if build time is a problem, which I can agree with, just get the build time buffed, because the pathing wrecks any way of swiftly erecting concrete blocks (Yes Swift, but they are concrete, so it would take time). I know, bu...

Another idea is to make a video on stuff like basic combat guide . By the way, is it just me...

Re: GM's portable cover

I agree to these points. Another problematic feature about the portable cover is that it can be crushed by any tanky unit. You invest a lot of time building it up only to see a Chaos Lord, Sentinel, Hive Tirant, Rhino or Brother-Captain crushing across it in T1. That's kinda their job to crush cove...

On an unrelated note, I still wonder what's with commissars carrying refractor field generators everywhere. Probably so that they have and excuse to have something covering their backs from what can cause unfortunate incedents otherwise.

Re: ideas for Prime Tyranid Hero

I limited myself to the existing animations and models. A Tervigon would be a great 4th tyranid commander but would require a completely new and different model (or a heavily modified Carnifex model) that I wanted to avoid for my ideas. Fun thing is that some niche you'd expect Tervigon to have is ...

Hello there.

Re: Idea for Commissar hero model

LC has the strongest vanilla ranged attack from melee commanders (more ranged dps than for example a Tact sarge). Just thought to point that out. Didn't know that.

OT: That would require quite a bit of work, I'm afraid. Another issue, albeit subjective, is that LC's ranged attack is just sorta there, not really that powerful. For something looking as dramatically as hellpistol, it would be underwhelming (except when used for blamming :P ). The only thing i wan...

You do know that there is a reason elite is not implementing a fourth commander? For a start it adds a whole part of faction to balance and also, those slots are reserved for new factions, for example, if implemented, Tau will take the last IG slot. There's also UI tweak going own that may allow on...
