For the first engagement use buildings. Deliberately start shooting the chaos lord when your shootas are nears building and then kite into the building when he starts to chase. pop out again when he wanders off and shoot him again. You must watch his heretics and abandon the buildings as soon as the...

I don't think that bit of the AI is accEssible What could be tried is going into ai_tuning.rbf and raising the priority of "support" . Generators are a support structure and I think they usually have a low priority. I was going to fiddle with this in the new year and let you know If it wor...

Add me: kankrusha

I posted a suggestion elsewhere a sugestion that the warp vomit duration could be reduced if the zzap was reworked so that it debuffed the target with extra damage and did not Jump from unit to unit (the anti-blob role of zzap is already covered by the weird boy's basic attack). This would mean Orks...

Aaah snap, each ability also has a stop_ability_on_retreat setting and it is false for both mellee resist and the banner aura They do both have can_work_on_retreat ='false though; so, does banner work on units that are retreating past the commander? (I assume can work on retreat applies to the targe...

Hi Guys melee resistance should not work in retreat - it is in the ability itself rather than a modifier applied by retreat (can_work_in_retreat = false) In Beta 8 the files say Channeling runes does not modify damage So it should be 35*1.3*1.3*0.85 = 50 (which you say it is not) Melee damage on ret...

Yeah, I realized that when i pressed submit. Specials do change the way that units fight tho, so instead of hitting a single model the unit is hitting multiple. edit - instead of killing a single model with a strike they could wipe a whole squad I am not saying 70 Melee skill is wrong, I just think ...

I would think twice before buffing ass terms melee skill. I suspect it is 60 so that they can be tied up by high melee skill units like seer council. Perhaps the other terms should have melee skill 60 too

Hi, this is an idea to consider for the beta, it is a different working of the weird boy vomit Most people feel the weirdboy vomit has too long a duration of action and shorter durations down to 6 seconds have been suggested (i havent seen comment on how current beta reduced duration is going) My co...

You clearly not married

Try delaying upgrading your catachans. They are a great squad but the leaders add a lot of population

For dark reapers in tier one, in order to differentiate them from guardians they could start armed with flamers (not fluffy but practical) upgrade able in tier two to reaper launchers (I have been working on a similar idea for storm guardians) They don't have fleet and they dont have infiltrate so t...

Do you have dlc enabled? You might need to replace the dlc models too (look for "chapter animations")?

Sometimes people forget to save the tab after making changes when modding. You might just need to try again.

Hi, there is an easy way to do this which uses the "mod foldering" of the game I assume you have downloaded Shuma's "Beauty Guard" which are the Chaos Rising models http://www.mediafire.com/file/eahbd970dwr5q8w/BeautyGuard.sga place the folder in your game assets folder C:\Progra...

I get the impression Relic were trying to copy table top where you lay down a "template" on an area with the heavy flamer Also, the current set up adds risk to playing the FC (or flamer terminator squad). You get one shot and then you have to back off. If you use up all your energy you are...

Wrex,

Host your own games. Call it "For fun" or something then everyone knows what they are getting into. People will join

He lost his levels and his levelling is stiffed up a but (not hugely). This means all the wargear unlocks won't work properly, ever again. And this one guy is Bloodravage. Plus gorb said same. Both incredibly experienced modders Probably worth trying it if you have a spare copy or account so you can...

But with cleverly interacting requirements you don't need to do that

You can probably also use the hero layout for any squad which I think is what Lulgrim is hinting at

It could be done

Put the new upgrade in the same position as commissar, now make commissar upgrade require sarge or the new upgrade to show

I have a little Suggestion: Increase Sentinel levelling from 10% health per level to 15% Issue: Several people have commented lately that Sentinel is fine in Tier 1 but usually dies in tier 2 Increased sentinel health leveling would improve sentinel survivability in tier 2 while having minimal effec...

Well if rangers do it too then "sniper formation" is not the fix Probably still worthwhile Lulgrim or Adratus adjusting the mellee leash lengths for squads that should be shooting instead of mellee-ing (I assume Asmon means the secondary squad members move to shoot rather tan mellee in the...

At Nuclear In sbps there is squad_combat_behaviour_ext and squad_formation_ext In formation there are lines for formation_default (which I think references to a separate folder attrib\formation which describes the pattern of formation) and there is squad_distribution. It is probably distribution tha...

Hi nuclear I don't think the "sniper formation" is so straight forward. Rangers have "eldar" formation whereas scouts have "default" formation and I can't find anything in the upgrade that changes that With regards weapons teams, eldar shuriken cannon have eldar formati...

Inferno damage!?! - slightly increased damage against hi while preserving damage multiplier against normal infantry means you could reduce damage output

(also plasma damage remains good against nids because of warriors)

I've always thought Warboss should have wartrukk+shoota squad global drop. This would be better in Elite now that shootas scale better in tier 2

Is adding abilities to him when he is in terminator armour going to be balanced? Doesn't he pay for having access to Assault terminators, and supplementing terminators by being an additional terminator himself, by not having abilities?

Hi This is purely a technical post suggestion for Lulgrim rather than a comment on what "should" be done The heavy weapons guy is only there for visuals. The barrage ability is dependent on him (requirement). If you were to try to adjust this I would suggest making the ability no longer re...

(Following is mostly for 3v3s but does count for 1v1 too as the Inquisitor's other armors pay off better in tier 3 1v1 than they do in tier 3 3v3) I think the Purgatus armour is great and doesn't need a buff, but in terms of cost I can see where crazyman is coming from. For the inquisitor it can be ...

I can't help thinking that removing synapse benefits to gene stealers would help. It seems an unnecessary bonus to me (from my pov if complete ignorance)
