I look at that tyranid list and have no idea how he did it. It seems so simple: lictors + mawlocs = accurate blasts. But to prevent all 6 from being blasted off the board before reserves arrive and still have enough pressure to make them count must take some practice.Texmo posted:I wonder which number is higher: the number of posts in this thread by Hollismason, or the number of posts by people who can't stop talking about Hollismason?

Thanks twig/boon! I guess you too Hollis. Probably going with the lynx in that case! And I'll finally have a use for the eldar themed landing pad I made last year. I already have three serpents plus on falcon, so in theory it'll complement what I've already got. Pictures will come, but it's a ways off for that.

Well, think since you mentioned it as well the Warp Hunter isn't a super heavy: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Eldar/ELDAR-WARP-HUNTER.html It is actually based on the Falcon chassis. Unless you mean the Cobra which has the heavy D cannon I believe. LordAba fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Only one can be a formation or codex specific detachment (such as Leviathan). If you have two, one must be a CAD. Forgeworld is allowed. No Lords of War that are over some amount of points (don't remember what, but enough to allow knights but not stompas). I think knights and the lynx were the only super heavies you could use.

I spose people come to expect to play against the typical knight lists and eldar lists and build hard counters to them. Subsequently those lists, will have a game or two or three against a hard counter which is enough to take them out of the top tables. The hard counters themselves, however, get beaten by players who aren't playing the flavours of the month. Players who think further outside the box and bring a strategy outside of the meta will surprise people. There's been times at tournaments where I've lost matches because I was unfamiliar with an army or unfamiliar with the strategy of the player; In those instances, I knew, if we played again we'd have a very different result.

I mean, its they were still brutal, but the guys who took the top had much more balanced armies. At least it seems like it from the few that have been posted. It's also just the nature of the ITC tournament setting they've got going here are the basic rules of it. https://www.frontlinegaming.org/las-vegas-open-hotel-booking/las-vegas-open-2015-warhammer-40k-championships/ This also has the missions, which is here as well is a example. My group uses these to play and their a lot of fun and well balanced actually. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByVzaY23LOX-aGVDYmszR2E2MU0/edit?usp=sharing Pairings are Swiss style, based on strength of schedule. The top 8 players from Friday and Saturday will go on to the finals on Sunday to determine the tournament Champion in a single elimination, 3 round, winner takes all finale! From what people have said sometimes your more likely with super crazy gimmick lists to run into someone who has a exact counter to your army and that's why stuff like 3 Imperial Knights Adamantium Lance meets the middle of the pack because he went up against a 10 Drop Pods w/ Melta Gun Salamander army. Which makes sense. I've only played Coastcon? (NOLA used to have one) several years ago and a couple of the Miniature tournaments when they still had them at New Orleans, but never a "grand tournament" with 200+ Cataphract posted:I spose people come to expect to play against the typical knight lists and eldar lists and build hard counters to them.

Boon posted:Only 1 Eldar in the top 8... I played against 5 eldar players (3 tau[one repeat] and a marine player) over the weekend, 2 of them were 5 serpents and they both lost 4 serpents on turn two. The third spam player had two forgeworld Knights and 4 serpents and I picked up both his Knights and a serpent on 2. One in highlander lost his serpent, falcon, and spinner on turn 2 and the other highlander player was some weird wraith thing that I tabled on 4. So in highlander I went 3-0 and my buddy Trent won it overall. E: I'm terrified of mawlocks. I have to deal with them a lot because my teammates caught on to them almost a year ago. But yes, it's the first couple of rounds that scare me more then anything because they can be weird rear end lists that you haven't practiced against.

Noted hairy fatasses Ghost Hand and Cataphract finally turn on Hollismason after he makes a crack about hairy fatasses, and at a ham tournament no less. Seriously, of all the things he's posted that's what you get upset about? 29 pages of posts with such gems as cooking animal parts for bases and that's your final straw?

I never thought I'd ever see someone taking a stand against another person for objectifying men. Personally, I'd be pretty flattered if a random stranger made a 'wildly inappropriate' comment about how they find me attractive. I'm with spacegoat on this one, it's a pretty silly thing to get all up-in-arms about.

Von Humboldt posted:I'm actually curious about this. There's a lot of debate in my gaming group over how good Sicarans are versus Serpents. I maintain that they're alright at handling Serpents - you knock off a HP a turn if they are in cover, and two if they are not, rounding up in both cases - but are better used to kill about a thousand other things that might show up. Versatile, basically, but not a hard counter. Some of the other guys have raging boners for the things, and claim that they are just the best loving things versus Serpents and a direct counter. I've run sicarans only a few times and I was never impressed with the results. Fast AV13 and ignores jink is nice, but rending is a real crapshoot. Then there's the Orth sicaran, who gives it BS5 and tank hunters. Then it gets nasty. Naramyth definitely didn't run it that way, so I'm also curious. e: two thudd guns cost about the same, have better versatility, and will get more glances despite the 4++

VolatileSky posted:There are other uses for the internet? I have both a Scorpion mk II and a magnetised Lynx, unpainted and unused but they look super rad. I'm practising how to either freehand or stencil on eldar runes before I paint them, super heavies deserve special attention. The Warp Hunter isn't a super heavy fyi, it's a Falcon chassis with a resin d-cannon hooked over it. The Lynx is 50% larger than a Falcon chassis, but at twice the size the Scorpion and Cobra are definitely centrepiece sized, though that also makes it a little unwieldy for a 6x4 table.

I am constantly on a hair-trigger over my extremely hairy and sweaty rear end-crack. I was born with a congenital disorder where my rear end-crack hair grown uncontrollably and as a result, every three days I have to shear the hair from my taint all the way up to the tip of my crack, lest it become "fly blown". The only upside is that I combine the sheared hair with superglue to make some sick basing, or I collect the crack-dandruff and use it to season my famous gazpacho Forums poster Hollismason has triggered me greatly with his rear end-crack comment, I have been in tears for the last 15 minutes or so as I rub hair removal cream all over my body as I sob profusely. He has no right to insult or shame my beautiful, hairy rear end and I hope that one day I will be able to display this enormously fat, hairy rear end in public.
