To get there on my own I had to leave before that. Was already on my way by the time I checked this again.

So yeah, since this is pretty last minute for me I'm just now looking to avoid a $35 lyft bill to get there in the morning. Anyone willing to give me a ride? I am in the Tigard/Beaverton area, but can use Lyft to meet someone somewhere to be less out of your way. Anyone coming from the general Southwestern part of Portland willing to pick up a ringer? Obv I will chip in for gas or buy you a drink or 2 or something. Not looking for a free ride, just not a $35 one. haha

Okay, I'll show up then. Worse comes to worse I'll just go home.

Okay, so just Sunday right? Just want to make sure one last time.

I can do both but would prefer to never play 7th again. haha

sure

I can come out and hang around. If you need someone great, if not I can go home.

He just wants hugs!

20 Genestealers coming out of a Trygon hole and with a decent advance roll charging first turn.

Wait, so when someone points out that t8 doesn't mean really even half as much as it did before you decide to focus just on that one fact rather than the context of everything you were saying before that? WTF does it matter if an army has 1000 t8 wounds if every weapon in the game can damage it now and quite literally every heavy weapon in the game wounds t8 on no less than a 5+ with the *vast* majority of them wounding on much lower rolls than that and ALL of them degrading the armor save of the knight. 120 wounds when just about every weapon you're going to direct at a knight is going to be doing multiple wounds in a shot, the majority of which will lower the Knights save to a 5+ just doesn't amount to the huge deal that you are making it out to be. You knew that was what I was saying but since that ran counterpoint to your little hissy fit you decided to focus on one line out of the multiple paragraphs of garbage you were spewing out about 120 t8 wounds with a 3+ save being op. Ell oh ell

Dude! T8 in the current rules cannot be harmed by str4 and str6 needs a 6+ to wound. In 8th Str5 only needs a 5+ to wound, and all of the str5+ weapons I've seen have some sort of AP on them. Hell a effing Heavy Bolter has 3 shots, only needs a 5 to wound and will take the save down to 4+. Comparing ANYTHING like this to the current rules is silly.

It also very likely has FnP from the icon.

When you say something like this and there's only been one person to say anything about not wanting to make the trip for smaller point games... You don't get to act like this when the guy you were *obviously* talking about responds. LH didn't think you were talking to him. He was piling on about someone having a strong opinion about point levels.

Isn't that a Revenant back there? I mean, point still stands, but still. :D

If you're going to blob up the platoons, having MBs on all the sargents when you can only have 1 guy in the unit use them in a given phase seems kinda silly to buy it for them all.

Q: Can units that are created from a Formation rule (e.g. Skyblight Swarm’s Skyswarm) Deep Strike? A: No, only specifically stated otherwise.

So many Battle Company lists. If I bring a Riptide wing I don't want to hear any bitching. /wink

Pax, you're delusional. lol

9 or 10" into my DZ is a good long way, don't get me wrong, but not that hard to stay out of. And if he doesn't get a good roll on BOTH of those rolls he's got no chance at all. And even then, let's be real here. It's a largish squad of Berzerkers and a Chaos Lord or 2, neither of which has a particularly dangerous weapon. If he fails the charge and is sitting in no man's land he's going to lose that entire unit to shooting. And even making a charge, that unit loses to any *real* CC unit. Like I said before, if it works for you, good on ya. But... Yeah.

So, either your opponent is going first and has a turn to move away from your big unit, or you deploy first and the other guy knows where your big unit is before he deploys. What I'm saying is that, generally, if you manage a first turn charge it's going to either be a speed bump unit, or something that your opponent thinks can beat you, like a real deathstar. I mean, if it works for you, then great. But it would seem like getting to charge something other than what the other guy wants you to on turn one isn't terribly likely without you seizeing on someone.

See, I don't think there are very many players out there that truly don't care about the enjoyment of their opponent. I've been to more tournaments than I can remember and can count on 1 hand the amount of times I've played with someone who was stomping me and not sharing in my bad time. Just because the other guy's army is pounding your to dust doesn't mean he doesn't care about your enjoyment. Now if he's stone faced and not interacting with you, or even worse, rubbing it in then you have a reason to complain. But again, that simply isn't an issue in the VAST majority of the time. In fact, I've run in to more bad attitudes from "casual" players than from tournament players. No one made you bring your *insert weak list here* army. You knew you weren't going to be able to hang and you brought it anyway. You had a bad time? The reason you had a bad time is in the damn mirror.

I won't speak for anyone else, but I for one self identify as a competitive player and find this statement incredibly insulting. It is a gross over generalization and comes off as incredibly holier than thou. Get off of your high horse buddy!

They have got to the get First Curse in there somehow. That one is going to be a game winner against a lot of armies.

The only thing that BA lack is a Battle Company. The only reason that guy won with DA is because they have a Battle Company. Talking about any kind of SM ina tournament settibg is a binary conversation. Does it have a Battle Company? Done and done.

Truks are garbage. Free garbage is still garbage.
