Anyways it seems like most of my games when I win I do so on caster kill. Are there any decent guides to improving my scenario game? It's non existant these days.

If I'm not mistaken the little thing on her chest just below her head is a literal aperture to whatever it is that powers her whole body (hence the name Aperture Blast for the gun)

Neat! Anything Khador specific out there? I feel like zerko1 should have a good scenario game but I'm bad and am having issues getting it going.

She lost her good scenario tech in the transition. Though considering how good khador jacks are right now it's probably for the best.

I get better at scenario play the more I ask myself "should I kill poo poo or would I be better off throwing/slamming/keeping them out of the zone and/or just neutralising their ability to cap?" Most of our casters have decent scenario game, and we have a lot of models that work well for that like bulldoze jacks, shocks, kodiaks and marauders.

Hopefully old witch gets buffed so her feat isn't so useless, at which point shell be a solid scenario caster.

I wouldn't call a auto pow 14 on moving an inch closer to witch a useless feat. Yeah it's not dumping a bunch of idrians on a caster but with what she carries for spells and abilities its far from bad.

Old Witch seems to suffer from the same problem as Krueger1, in that they both have good and relevant spells/abilities, but their feats weren't retooled for the new meta.


Also, I improved my scenario game mostly by thinking about scenarios more during list-building. When I started playing I mostly thought about direct synergies within my list, but now I care a bit more about how and where I ideally want to deploy everything. I don't really build lists to grind out scenario wins but I try to always include something that can pressure a flank and a unit that can hold the center for a bit so I at least don't lose on scenario.
I also always felt like building to win on scenario is kind of an exercise in futility because they are so varied, but using scenario pressure is something everyone can do.

It's a good scenario feat. If something can't move in without getting killed than it's not getting in there.

It depends on your meta. It doesn't do dick against Karchev with 15 Mad Dogs.

What does dick Karchev and 15 mad dogs?

I'd actually like to see kreoss 1 and like 8 redeemers and vassals/wracks to power 24 shots out of them.

wearing a lampshade
Mar 6, 2013

Enh. If everyone were still running double max melee infantry or whatever it would be good. But gunlines and jack heavy lists can for the most part ignore it.

Karchev with that many mad dogs just wants to play attrition. If you can bog everything down with something other than infantry you could maybe get the upper hand on scenario... But the best idea imo is similar to the pkreoss thing. Knock his screeners down and shoot the gently caress out of him.

Yeah this is why I think a dumb karchev list should probably have two devastators to be steady screens for him. You can still take 11 mad dogs.

Mar 6, 2013

Yeah that might start coming up more and more now, especially if it gets more popular. right now I think anybody seriously running that list would think 4 mad dogs is more boxes than 2 devastators and that's enough.

Playing Caine 2 I have successfully cleared out Idrians, Knights Exemplar and half of the Flame Cleansers. I position Caine so that their is 'no way' for my opponent to be in 11 inch charge with his Vengers.

Turns out ' no way' didn't factor in if he murders his own horsemans first and then feats them back that same turn!

It was only due to my opponents dice failing him hard that Caine survived and I won when my opponent gave up. That was a mistake I won't be repeating again.

Listening to the Primecast it sounds like PP is going to release a Mordhiem inspired game type. Hopefully it'll nice alternative to the regular game types.

Also Do Dragons Poop is the best segment.

A Mordheim style game from PP could be amazing. I'd like a game focused on the tabletop skirmish aspect where you can advance your characters but isn't the IK RPG. So basically the IK RPG but ditch all the non-combat stuff and re-balance it.

The rules, all 32 pages, will be available in the January edition of NQ 70. Please note my whole 'Mordhiem' prediction is just based on Will saying that they use squads in the game, and individual model decoration will really shine. Take that as you will.

Just got the $58 prime axiom.

Right now I have syntherion, 2 magnetized tripods, mitigator, and 2 galvanizers. Gonna pick up a diffuser, corollary, optifex directive, and some servitors. Maybe an ADO and a steelsoul as well. Eventually I'll want to get a flier magnetized as well.

Should I bother with eliminator and accretion servitors? Was thinking of just getting attunement and reflex for axiom to poop out.
