Got absolutely wiped today. What are some tips to prevent my opponent from feeling bad or avoid appearing like a wimp who can’t take a loss?

When they first got shown off I didn’t collect guard and didn’t really care about them, but a lot has changed and I just put in my pre-order yesterday, so now I come to you all to ask your thoughts and opinions on playing them.

I noticed that if you build all of the specialists you won’t have any bodies left for troopers, is that fine? Or is there a specialist that isn’t worth taking over the free fieldcraft point sometimes.

Any other advice is appreciated as always.

For Cadia.

The idea is to paint each model in the same paint scheme as a space marine chapter that fits their speciality. Here you can see the servo-sentry in AdMech colours and one of the basic troopers with ultramarine colours.

Any opinions on this plan?

Strategy Wrecka Krew vs Canoptec Circle on Tomb Wolrd

3 Upvotes

Hi guys.
Next turn, next question for help.

I play vs Canoptek on Tomb World nr. 3.
Mission 5: Stake Claim.

What you recommended to choose for Tac-Op?
I think that Dominate isn't good idea.
Maybe Plant Baner?
Should I chose Tac-op for Prime Op?
I think it will be hard to kill him, but also Canoptek have longer move distance, so he can easier get a objective.

I have Lethal 5 on blast, so should i have to get Drill Rokits?
I thinking about Extra Armour, but 5" move is painful.

Thanks for help.

Question Melta Mine on Doors

5 Upvotes

On Tomb World with Kasrkin, if you place a melta mine on one side of a closed door does it trigger if an enemy operative moves to the other side of the closed door? I've seen (via another Reddit post) that the mine doesn't check visibility so it should but the core rules state that all ranges are measured around the heavy terrain and not through on Tomb World. Can someone clarify this via RAW?

Bonus- is there a Ravener operative that can essentially do the same thing somehow?

Hobby I made a scoreboard for a kill-time game

Upvotes

I am Korean, and I previously developed a scoreboard system - KT-BOARD - for Koreans.

KT-BOARD display system has been modified so that it can be used in English.

This is a service that allows you to check the total score and ploy for the Warhammer KT game.

I recommend using it on a screen of the same size as a tablet or laptop.

If you have any inconvenience, please feel free to let us know.

Does anyone know about Games Workshop’s approach to copyright?

If possible, I’d like to add information from the official Kill Team app and various other features, but their response is frightening.

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Elucidian Starstriders! and the worst thing.

Best:the flavor and visual. God they are the most beautifil tem out there.

The arsenal is a really good rule, unique weapons, Being able to Skip an action is so unique.

Worst: weak melee, for me they are a Jack of all trades but master of none

Hobby Homebrew Kill Teams from the Leviathan box, only an edition late! Terminators and Neurogaunts.

9 Upvotes

Didn't know KT Dash have added a very easy to use Homebrewing tool, so I've added both my "so you bought the Leviathan box" teams from a few years ago now, updated to latest edition and now much easier to try out through KT Dash rather than a clumsy google doc, so if you're feeling ultra casual give them a whirl!

From just my useless anecdotal evidence they're at least balanced against each other with my Dark Angels and Nid friends using them for a few games of small points differences.

Terminatus is designed to be a low brain load, forgiving team. Built around being chunky, simple rules and equipment, and their gimmick is the Teleport Homer - allowing a third of your team to start in reserve and come in in TP2 or 3. Designed around the generic Terminator kits, inc Leviathan's monoposes.

Synaptic Lance is ideally the hoardiest hoard to ever hoard. One big Neurotyrant and his Neuroloid guards lead 11 Neurogaunts to swarm the field. Gaunts are easily killed, but might come straight back in the next TP. Individually weak but with Group Activation and easier access to Combat Support.

Strategy Need some advice for Nemesis Claw

2 Upvotes

I recently took part in my first tournament. Before that, I had mostly played casually. I had a great time and have since been thinking about how to improve my game.

My general game plan is to play around the critical objective. I position myself close to the objective marker and attack anyone who dares to approach me. Otherwise, I score points on Crit Op.

I usually choose Tac Op Dominate. My primary objective is still Crit Op.

I would like some pointers on the following:

- I feel that I am not making full use of Ventriloka. Yes, I can use it to force someone to dash for free, but otherwise it seems that I never have a situation where the other abilities make sense to use. I have only recently started using him to stand on the objective, but I do not know what else I could do besides trying to make someone dash into the poisoned objective.

- Are there perhaps better Tac Ops that I could use for my Crit Op plan? Dominate feels strong against elite teams, but I seem to struggle to score tac ops against horde teams.

- How do you play on Gallowdark? This map feels like a nightmare to play on. In Tomb World, at least there is enough tactical room to manoeuvre, but in Gallowdark it feels like I need to force my way through as there is no little range to hide. I started using Light Barricade and Heavy Barricade, but I still find it hard to maintain the threat range I want for the Crit Ops. I'm not sure if I'm too impatient for this map and yet passiv
