Hey Flip, I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Firestorm Games, but the Aswuang with Spitfire is listed under Haqqislam on the website.

Hoboskins posted:I really don't love the tiny second group which in both lists have expensive (for Ariadna) dudes in it, and who need some orders to get poo poo done. The HMG para commando in particular can absolutely murder people if you position him correctly. Ariadna has tons of cheaper units most of which have either chain rifles, smoke or some combination of the two. For the cost of two Kazaks you can get 3 dudes with smoke and chain rifles Galwegians or Volunteers (ava 2 so you need to mix it up). Vet Kazaks are always awesome, I'm personally not a huge fan of the AP rifle variant, preferring the HMG/T2 Rifle+light Flamer and Xvisor the latter being 0 swc is even better.Most importantly not taking any Tank Hunters is a SIN. If you want to use the Zouave take a sapper variant. Hm. I'll have to think about it. The idea behind the second list was basically to spend a command token to shove the paracommando into combat group one, as I've invariably lost some units by the time he arrives. Really not a fan of Irmadinhos, but that's because the model is ugly as sin. I could convert/proxy some Metros as a stand in though. Tank Hunters are really good, yes, but they are kind of a crutch. Should I take the AP HMG or Autocannon in your opinion? This match is a long way off, and I got a sizable tax return, so I'll buy whatever I need.

Genghis Cohen posted:I prefer this second list as having fewer order-hog models. Suggestions: Downgrade the moblot to a chasseur, spend SWC to make the spetsnaz parachutist into a heavy machine gun spetsnaz. They are well spoken of as the best heavy weapon carrier in ariadna, and I think shotgun parachutists would be difficult to use, and 1 AD trooper is enough. I'll definitely think about changing the spetsnaz, but I kind of have HMG area denial down pat already. Besides, the Spetsnaz boarding shotgun is the coolest model in all of Ariadna. Hoboskins posted:if you already have some hmg dudes the auto cannon is probably a better option, especially with the range changes to hmgs. I like all the above suggestions, though if expanding your horizons and avoiding crutches is part of your plan Chasseur would fit that bill. If you hate irmandinhos I would probably hold off buying them. No doubt just as you purchase them CB will announce a resculpt. Tank Hunter with Autocannon sounds more and more tempting. Question: Do you get both the benefit of Level 1 and 2 for Marksmanship, or do you choose? The wiki doesn't specify.

So, made my first large order from Firestorm. Here's hoping they're as good as you say, Flip! Speaking of; over half of my order had availability 1–5 days. Is that a reasonable estimate, in your experience?Exmond posted:What happens if i mention the werewolves are.. FRENCH SPACE WEREWOLVES IN SPAAAAAAAACE! Oh goddamn it.

Genghis Cohen posted:Really? Seems like the non-template rounds are completely useless for shotguns even against single models then, unless you are up against models out of cover. If the original target beats my model by shooting, does the template still go off? No. The template only goes off if you actually hit. not sure if you have to wound or not. Besides, non-template rounds do more damage. Only use template rounds if you can hit multiple models.

Corbeau posted:If you hit a target with a template weapon of any kind, they do not get an armor bonus from being in cover. This includes impact template weapons like shotguns. So if we're talking about a Boarding Shotgun then it's always better to use the template rather than the AP slug unless the target is in the open (in which case there's no cover ARM bonus to negate) or has 8+ armor (in which case the slug would be +4 effective damage while the template would be +3 effective damage).   So, the way we've interpreted shotgun rules is that the template is placed after the ARM roll. That's wrong, apparently. Good thing I don't play two shotgun heavy forces.

Genghis Cohen posted:Hey, if I use a coordinated order to drop troops onto the field via AD, can I use one of those AD troop's order as the regular order, as I would if deploying it alone? Or does the coord order require a regular order from my pool? You use one of the airdropping models' orders, as you would if you were deploying it alone.

So I just had an interesting discussion with a friend who is playing in a tournament tomorrow, and we are pretty sure you can't use a lieutenant's special order to activate a fireteam. That's correct right? I mean seeing as a lt. order is not a regular order.

Flipswitch posted:Flash Pulse is a medium range weapon that causes blind, really useful for stopping a harder to kill model from rampaging. Yes I know what it is, thank you Ilor posted:That is correct, flash pulse =/= forward observation. One thing that's important is that in the 8"-24" range band, Flash Pulse is +3 whereas FO is +0. I'd have to run the math given the different burst values, but I think there are times when Flash Pulse may be the better bet (and certainly is in ARO, where both have B1). If you're in a situation where you're likely to have to go FtF against someone and you have orders to burn, it might be useful to Flash Pulse them first and try to blind them, because once they are blind they no longer have LoF and you can Forward Observe them to your heart's content without generating an ARO. It's situationally dependent, but has its uses. Exactly. The thing is, I see time and time again people using flash pulse, and then saying that the flashed targets are forward observed for the purposes of using, say a traktor mul's guided barrage. Flash pulse doesn't convey forward observation. I was just wondering whether I was wrong or not. Turns out I wasn't. Thanks.

Every time someone talks about buying a Spetsnaz with HMG I look for it, but it doesn't exist. Please stop suggesting people buy a model that doesn't exist. You're making me sad. I get my hopes up that CB have released it. Every single time.
