Re: Goatboy’s 40K Meta: 2 MEAN Lists from NOVA Invitational

CrusherJoe — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 12:28:00 -0000

"Both these lists are Imperium, utilized Imperial Knights in some way, and lo and behold both have the Command Point battery regeneration. This should tell you what will most likely get nerfed come a few weeks after the Nova."

REALLY? So if you come out on top at NOVA it's nerfbat time? CP regen needs a tune-up I'll admit (but only because I'm sick of seeing my beloved Guard whored out as a "CP battery" in every list everywhere) but Guard themselves don't need any nerfs. Neither do Knights. WTF, people? Have we reached a point where the game has de-evolved such that if a list/combo wins games, it's automatically up on the nerbat block?

That...doesn't make any sense.

Abe, man, have you sustained a serious head injury you haven't told us about? AoV should be one use only per game. Giving it to everyone will just make the problem even worse. One use/game, 5 CP, if you roll the 1, you can't re-roll it. There -- that lets the elves keep their special snowflake power, but tames it to the point where it's not crippling the other player. As it stands right now it's pants-on-head stupidly OP. I'm not saying remove it, but it needs toning down.

Re: 40K: To Make Games Finish – Make Them Smaller

CrusherJoe — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 18:41:55 -0000

I'll bet a Kill Team game ends real quick like...but that's not really 40K anymore, is it? 2K is where it's at, and where it should stay. Use a chess clock to train yourself to play faster (I have begun to use one to make myself more cognizant of time, and it really helps). I play Guard, too, so I know it can be a challenge but the better you know your army and the more games you get in with your army the better and faster you'll play.

Oh hey, awesome! Abe used the PLASTIC SISTERS I WANT TO BELIEVE image I created (read: slapped some text on another pic using Photoshop) and put on Facebook. :)

I've been waiting for a long time for the announcement. I'm excited but trying to keep my expectations low (as we all know, "Hope is the first step to disappointment").

Re: 40K Op-ed: The T’au Book We Really Need

CrusherJoe — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 01:36:21 -0000

Of course, this assumes that 40K needs Tau (don't tell me how to use apostrophes!) at all. One of the reasons 8th Edition has been good so far is the lack of Riptides on every damned table. If the new book brings that trash back out I'm gonna embark on a Coast-to-Coast Murder Tour.

Re: 40K: The Unbeatable List – LVO 2018

CrusherJoe — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 15:28:46 -0000

Unit size is one thing, but the real problem is the 3 Dmg the krak missiles do. If it were d3 it would approach something like balance. Dark Reapers remove many of the balancing factors that most other heavy weapons have, and that coupled with their bargain-basement price has resulted in Codex: Yynnnnaarriii Dark Reaper. Thumbs down.

I can't agree with this article more. Hats off, Black Blow Fly, for saying this. It's 100% truth.

Re: 40K: GW Should Avoid Video Game Industry Pitfalls

CrusherJoe — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 08:42:27 -0000

Wow. Abe my man I KNOW you know better than this. It's like this was written from the standpoint of someone with absolutely NO idea how publishing paper books works. It take months to get physical books from a printer, especially on the scale GW produces. The 40K FB people said C:AM was at the printers before 8th edition was released -- and I believe this to be true.

Sweet Geebuz there is no pleasing you people. From 4th edition all the way through the long nightmare that was 7th edition all I heard was people bitching about how "GW never listens" and "it sure would be nice if GW would release a FAQ" and now they're actually ON TOP OF THINGS and instead of even recognizing how GREAT that is, what do we get?

MOAR BITCHIN', of course.

Abe I know you man. I respect you. More than that, I like you.

But this article was trash, and feels like it wasn't written to enrich the community, but to invite clicks and comments for all the wrong reasons. You're better than this, man.

Re: 40K Deep Thought: How to Handle Ynnari

I think we're ignoring the BEST "way to handle the Ynarri":

Ret-con them out of existence.

Soulburst is game breaking on a good day. On a bad one, it's downright retardedly broken. Say good-bye and good riddance to that abortion of game design and move on.

ESPECIALLY not the space elves. They can't have any weaknesses at all. *rolls eyes*

Except the majority of Eldar players knew exactly what they were getting in to and what they were doing. "Oh, wow, I totally and completely JUST SO HAPPENED to pick up the most OP army in the entire game? Woo, lucky me!" Nope, never happened.

Oh, Thomas, I love you brother, but man, you say something like this:

"Hopefully the rumored changes coming with Chapter approved will help curtail this constant barrage of counts as models, weird conversions, and just really craptastic army crutch building that is the Malefic lord."

...and then you forget to include this line:

"But until it does, I'll be fielding 14."

Be part of the problem, or part of the solution. You can't be both LOL.

Re: Geekery: There’s a Lot Going on in this GoT Finale Preview

CrusherJoe — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 08:45:39 -0000

ASoIaF is a pretty dark political fantasy setting. Magic slowly creeps in (with the return of the dragons) but it's less fantasy and more medieval, honestly.

If you want a fully realized fantasy world with amazing writing, I highly suggest "The Stormlight Archive" by Brandon Sanderson. The first two books are the only ones out, but "The Way of Kings" and "Words of Radiance" are both two-thumbs-up good. I'm far more excited about "Oathbringer" than I am about "Winds of Winter" (even though that probably makes me a heretic).

Re: Geekery: We Might be Getting a Robotech Movie

CrusherJoe — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:56:31 -0000

What really grinds my gears is I don't want a re-telling of the Robotech saga (which I love). I want either Robotech: Sentinels or a continuation of Shadow Chronicles/The End of the Circle.

Macross F(rontier) came really close. I had some good deja vu moments while watching it.

Re: 40K: Start Playing 8th Today

CrusherJoe — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 14:02:51 -0000

More fun things to try:
*Look on with happiness and nostalgia when your friend takes out the Dark Eldar army you pretty much forgot he had.
*Give Celestine the "Hand of the Emperor" AoF, move 24" then charge...first turn.
*Forget Murderfang is a Character and let him get two-shot'd by a Ravager dark lance gunboat.
*Just play the game. 8th Edition has made 40K FUN again.
