JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:How do stacking re rolls work? I’m assuming you only get one re roll per action? I'm 99% sure you can only do one re-roll from traits, they can't stack (this is why the Iron Hands vendreds aren't a good deal, for example, because you can't stack FNPs). Related: can you burn CPs to re-roll a trait-generated re-roll?

Corrode posted:The reason Alex beat Nick and Steve with Orks is that his list was explicitly built to fight them. He had 7 planes and Agents of Vect, which means that he could prevent the Lootas from firing most efficiently, and also take away their Grot Shields so that he could blow them off the table asap. Once the Lootas are dead, planes don't give a poo poo about Grots or Boyz, which was most of the rest of the list. He also had two big units of Ynnari Windriders with scatter lasers, of which one or potentially both can double fire, one of which can be Guided and the other having Ancestor's Grace (re-roll all hits/re-roll 1s to hit) against something with Doom. That will remove an Ork unit at a time from a safe range, and is able to reposition very quickly if needed. Nick's list was also apparently pretty new and he might not have had enough time to perfect it before the actual event.

A regular marine maybe wouldn’t (depends on the chapter) but once the geneseed has been removed I could see how an Apothecary would go full Klingon (again, chapter-dependent)?

Cool, I'll probably base it to look like a crater, have been playing with that concept. The biggest issue is my peeps are flouncing around on concrete and unless that redshirt got very selectively vaporized his positioning would be super weird.

When the job is killing and cracking open your marine buddies for the juicy progenoid gland within, apothecaries might develop a psychological justification that the gland is the freed soul or something and the marine is just a discarded shell. I am super tempted to pick up this GSC Doctor and make just the most disgusting Aberrant squad possible. A Biophagus, Abominant, Iconward, Magus and Primus backing up 10 hammerants and going apeshit on a knight. 40 strength 16 hammer attacks for the low low price of like 600 points.

Schadenboner posted:I'm 99% sure you can only do one re-roll from traits, they can't stack (this is why the Iron Hands vendreds aren't a good deal, for example, because you can't stack FNPs). You can never re-roll a re-roll. It’s a core rule. So in the above case with orks, you could use the clan trait to reroll the 1s, but you would have to save the other re-roll for a failed roll other than a 1. The second reroll is thus useless if you are hitting on 2s, but I don’t know if any orks do that. I don’t think you can do the CP reroll before the game on that warlord trait (like for Alpha Legion?) but it’s never come up for me. If I had to guess, I’d say you couldn’t on the same logic that you can’t spend a CP on rolling deployment type or rolls to go first or whatever. Rerolling the Alpha Legion trait if the first guy dies mid game might be fair, though?

Thanks for details on rerolls my friends.Skails posted:Which Necron dynasty were people running? I do not remember my friend. Is there a quick shortcut for calculating re-rolls? I know that re-rolling ones comes out to multiplying the equation by 7/6. Hi it’s a super boring day in the office of analyzing legal papers. Can you tell?

Anyone have good recs on a battle mat? Once this weather breaks I'll finally be able to collect the kitchen table out of my aunt's basement, and I'm looking to get a nice, possibly two-sided mat for 40k Wondering if anyone has a good, affordable option or two I can peruse. I've looked at all the major sites, but I don't know if paying a little extra or a little less makes a difference.

TheBigAristotle posted:I'm stateside, is overseas shipping expensive from them? $27 FedEx on a $66 6' by 4' mat. They're the crowd miniwargaming use for all their tables but they're also in Prague, so it's expensive even to other bits of Europe really. The quality I've seen on the different tables over at MWG is top notch though so I think you get the quality for the money.

FrontlineGaming has their mats for $75, and it's $6.99 shipping in the US. I've liked mine so far. It's held up for over a year without a single issue. I'm sure it'll last as long as I can take care of it. Plus, it comes in a bag for transporting it. of course, I bought it before I found out about FLG. I own BattleFoam and a FLG map. I'm a terrible consumer.

Tablewar donated a literal palette of cases and mats to the Camp Fire relief fund. They are a cool and good company, and their mats are super good. Winter Cobblestone is a gorgeous mat.

I thought the culture and attitude at FLG seemed kinda lovely even before Reece had a meltdown defending a nazi symbol, that just cemented it for me. I have a mat and some ruins from gamemat.eu and they're great, especially for lazy people like me who don't want to work on terrain. Then again, gamemat.eu sponsors/advertises on Strikingscorpion's channel, so that's a little unfortunate too.
