Re: Help vs GK please

I think you should try to use a much more standard example of the matchup. I played it very different than the normal meta would dictate, and of course, you made my shit micro pay the price hard by making very prudent decisions. With that said, you outplayed me in a very real way, so those would be ...

Re: IG imbalances

@Tarre I have to admit, I was quite frustrated at that moment. But I think this is where the context needs to be filled in by the source (me). I was more so frustrated my own play, rather than the new iteration of the HWT. If you watch the replay again, you can see that I did a few things that almos...

Re: IG imbalances

Harry, again, please use it before you toot the horn over it.

Execute on the HWT in T1 is EXTREMELY strong. It means that they are doing double damage with their long range modifier which actually ends up being a very respectable amount. Any damage you can dish out in T1 as IG should be relished.

I believe psi cannons are still too fucking crazy. I had a match with crew last night that illustrated this pretty well. I mean don't get me wrong, there is always room to play better on my part, but I think psi cannons need to do 0 splash damage. They are simply far too effective at killing vehicle...

Ofcource not! It's only to stop your own units from retreating. Thanks, but it's sad. LC seems the weakest character in IG. He has a steeper learning curve than the INQ and LG, but he can actually be the most dangerous IG commander to face if used properly. pffff I strongly disagree with him being ...

Re: Banshee scaling, or lack of

SM drop pod is a huge T1 boon for SM, on this you are absolutely correct. I also feel like scout regen is off the charts. With that said, every faction has their strengths and weaknesses at different timings. With the stronger T1, and also nothing but T2 buffs for SM afaik in recent history, it does...

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

Karskins were goodish, and now that 2.5.1 has roled out, they are great. I think they used to depend largely on your playstyle, and that's exactly why I'm glad Cael picked up on some suggestions and gave them a sprint. Now they have a very clear role, and will likely be included in a wider variety o...

I honestly think dark reapers are the new "black" in this matchup. I'm going to try and illustrate how this works, but before I get caught up in a bunch of theory craft, I need to make it work first.

Re: T3 upgrade too cheap? d:)

Inferno no longer does as much damage to vehicle armor. I think that is the only (yet very major) change that TCSM received, even though the change is not specific to them.

The only squads I can think of that get "premium" upgrades to carry them into T3 are sluggas/stormboyz via the painboy (which ends up being one ultra fucking expensive upgrade) and ASM --> vanguard, and that's also assuming that you haven't already leveled your ASM. Honestly, I love you li...

Re: Patch 2.5.1

GK rhino is over performing hard. Its a completely different dynamic than what the razorback brings to SM. Because purgs are being purchased in T1 and are scaling beautifully into T2, I think that the rhino las cannon needs to have a much more penalizing purchase cost. I'm agreeing almost exclusivel...

Re: Autarch upgrades

So bottom line here,

After all the mud slinging and etc, autarch shield should stay same price, but go up to 5:1 ratio and provide weapon_knockback immunity.

Ok great, lets close the thread.

Against 2x Dev I would hope that you have at least 1 spotter or catachan squad allowing you to disrupt the devs and do some forward damage before having to fall back outside of the firing arc. What you should be doing is using IG early game superiority (whatever it ends up being in your playstyle) a...

Glad to see you are coming to terms with some things in the mod Harry. As far as changing flamer costs back to 20 power, I would say absolutely not.
