I think you should be changing your engagement range setting. IIRC, Imp ships are better close in brawlers while Chaos are long range snipers

Thank you for listening about close range for imp ships. Notice how much faster the chaos ships went down?


As for name Lepus Leti

There will be more ships - this just means you get a bigger one!

Thanks! I expect it to die horribly!

Hey Grey, you aren't saving your renames. So the ships just sit there with their auto-generated names.

In light of that, and you immediately getting my ship blown up, can I get Lepus Leti back? :shobon:

Grey did you recently rewatch the matrix?

What does the blue 1 next to your xp bar mean? Do you have a skill unlock?


Also thank you for giving me back my Lapus Leti. As a lapsed catholic I felt a Latin name was most appropriate

Edit: looks like necrons have a pulse to disable torps/bombers. Maybe have an escort shoot two to bait out the pulse then launch the rest? I bet it runs off cooldown

As I understand it, the story missions only get harder and harder while the whackamole is the best way to keep building renown to get the tools you need as well as upgrading systems and the like.

Tyranids in campaign are annoying, doubly so for beginners, because most first time players will play their fleets as brawlers because it's the easiest way to play. Tyranids punish brawlers hard.

If you don't know how to play the 'keep away' game, they are a pain in the butt, especially with pure space marines fleets.

I assume Ad mech with like their novas, lances, stasis and rad bombs are the best? About to hit nids in my campaign

Something I found while playing this week are that defense platforms are your best friend when facing Tyranids on the defense.


So, first off, you know that the nids will just go straight at them at the start of the battle, letting you set an ambush easily. 2ndly, they have the escort pulse ability. So, as soon as they come under fire, pop it, reveal the enemy fleet, and drop nova/plasma/torps on em. As well, I found the nids lose turrets really fast so bombers are great, and target the synapse creatures first. That more than anything saved my rear end when I had like 8 invasions all at once.

Grey, for the latest video, that you haven't posted yet, when you gave the Ad Mech guy the anti-asteroid shields? You missed the unlimited Nova Cannon shot skill. I think that one's better.

Let's see if I can take out the Tyranid threat (for now!) -Some save scumming will be involved!

Even I'm not that mad!

The main problem is I don't have the time I used to - even finding time for text based LP's is hard. I'm at that time poor part of life. Video LP's work better as they don't take another hour and a half + to edit and type up.
in short, Adulting Sucks.

It's an Easter mircale. I once again have to work midnight to 8am for a two week stretch, starting Easter Sunday. Last time, I made it through by binging your great war LP (speaking of, are you thinking of going back and doing it from the Allies side? Marching Canadians straight into machine guns)

Hey Grey, dunno if you noticed, but some of your fleet commanders have unlocked some upgrade slots, but also, in battle, the Space Marines have a 2nd Lightning strike that IIRC bypasses shields call "For the Chapter" that is an order, and is only limited by the amount of troops on your ships. All lightning strike bonuses also apply to it. So you can literally do lightning strike twice in a row from each space marine ship.

We are at the point of the LP where Grey finally clicks, understands the game, and breaks it over his knee. So glad we got here and can't wait to see more Nova Sniping.

The only downside to Nova Cannons is you can't be in ramming range!

Counter-point. A full three fleets of Ad Mech cruisers, with each Ad Mech admiral with unlimited nova shoots means you never even need to see the opponents ships.
