First for Tau when.
>>47097686
Hopefully never
Xth for ramming Ork ships with your convoy transports and causing them to warp outI still lost the match but it was worth it to see that giant Ork cruiser chased off by the little transport who could
>>47097713
Well too bad, they got announced.
Though it's probably atleast 3 months off.

I love how people respond to orks.
Does Goff favour work on boarding torpedoes and assault boats?Is ordnance bay spam boarding ork viable?
>>47097820
There was some youtube video where dude won the battle by ramming an enemy ship with one of his transports.
>>47098051
Literally only regular boarding actions. Assault action related favors are pretty mediocre like that.
>>47098051
>Is ordnance bay spam boarding ork viable?
It's not good, it doesn't work every match since rng, some build will shit on youI'm looking at you mono nurgle with triple crew upgrade. But there's high chance the first ship you see will end up fucking useless. Also I'd go bad moon or blood axe for it.
As my IN fleet has now universally hit level 10, what fleet should I try next?
Panzies,
Orkz,
or spikies?
>>47099045
Orkz
>>47099045
Orks, they are great fun, though be prepared to hate panzies even more.
>>47099065
>>47099062
Orkz it is.
Given my IN shipz were all named after cocks, I think my naming convention for the Orkz shall be old British metal bands.
>>47099076
Are you this anon?
>>47099128
...yes
Isn't the Imperial Navy supposed to be green and white? Why is the default color scheme...grayish? And then...why the fuck is Imperial Navy favor PURPLE AND AND GOLD?
>>47099128
>>47099151
I'm still very fond of the "Purest of Motives" as in the context of the rest of them, it just somehow sounds filthy.
>>47099167
...Maybe they forgot?
why do my tyrant and lunar lose a brawl to a dauntless and a mars
>>47099410
Maybe you keep turning them so they can't broadside but can be broadsided?
>>47099410
Are you ramming and torping enough?
>>47099410
Git gud
>>47099167
The default scheme is green and white. It's just pretty drab compared to tabletop colors. The lighting is also colored so shit always looks off-palette, for example tzeetch ships look purple, but are actually blue.
>>47099410
>>47100111
I missed the Ork dickwaving last thread.
>>47099410
What are your relative upgrades? Behaviors? Ranges? Are you using abilities effectively? Melta torps > regular torps.
>>47100521
I'm liking your build there.

You'z still in toime!
>>47100881
this is my lineup

but i never manage to ram anyone
>>47100983
Ah, i see your problem anon, your ship is dead.

>>47101029
Oh, so that's why its called "Unmoving".
>>47101070
Why did they do that?
ARE THEY FILTHY HERETICS?
Is the "Heirless Throne" Achievement only awarded if YOU kill the Eldar?
Because that dumb space gay nigger put his ship into abaddon's death ray like a goddamned idiot, and I do not have it.

>>47101070
Shit sucks.
But completely unrelated. Why the fuck do you Americans still have that many electric poles and lines hanging around. Literally 3rd world tier shit.
>>47101208
Because America is a big place and not every little town of 500 people can afford such things. Our government funds go into military, not wires.
>>47101208
Because to change it all, we'd have to go dark while everything gets changed over.
Also, who's the #1 country in the world? That's right, shut the fuck up you stupid jealous sand nigger or possibly britbong.
>>47101314
>>47101252
Figure out which one is the liberal and which one is the conservative
>>47101070
Damn, that's cool.
>>47101127
Yes. Tell the Eldar to fuck off each time they ask you and you will eventually fight and kill them.
>>47101208
Brit here, but I imagine they keep their shit cabling for the same reason corporate IT is often rickety as fuck; changing it is expensive, changing it causes downtime, it works if no one touches it so don't touch it.
>>47101369
So you get two achievements for removing Eldar?
The Ordo Xenos and that one? It's their game I guess.
Also, the game gave me the "no-mesis" before the Eternity of Pain showed up.
>>47101340
>>47101070
B-but why. You can't just let them deface the Emperor's glory
>>47101414
>So you get two achievements for removing Eldar?
>The Ordo Xenos and that one? It's their game I guess.
Yes.
>Also, the game gave me the "no-mesis" before the Eternity of Pain showed up.
For some reason killing three nemesises (the order in which they appear is randomized) is enough to earn that one.
>>47101498
apparently, the remove all nemesis is unlocked yif you killed all of those who apperad in chapter 3 basically, before the black Crusade proper. or it was before the 5th chapter, do'nt remember.
Concerning the two eldars successes, one is dedicated to the fact you managed to kill Eldrathain himself.
>>47101340
I support Trump and I'm the one that didn't say nigger.
>>47101208
See >>47101381 but also, America is Big. Much less concentrated population than Europe. And sure, the telephone poles and whatnot may be kinda gauche, but they're much cheaper than underground wire. Very dense and wealthy urban areas will have underground wire, but the vast majority of the country (especially where it gets really sparsely populated) will be using aboveground stuff.
Question about Melta Torps: do they start a separate fire for each hit or what?
Because when I use them I never notice the enemy catching on fire more than once despite an entire barrage of six hitting them, which makes it feel like I'm wasting a lot of damage by using Melta over regular.
>>47099167
IN Favor colors are blue and gold, not purple.
>>47101683
They aren't armor piercing (for some reason) but yes, they start multiple fires. Up to four.
>>47101252
>>47101314
So insecure about power lines, hehehe. But seriously, you can dig those lines underground and then switch when the underground gable is ready. Switching from poles to underground doesn't take long and the dark period is about 10-30 mins.
Also underground lines are much safer than poles.
Then on BFG, what is your favourite overachiever in TT or in video game? For me it was one armed transport in TT. That transport managed to destroy damaged Murder and one Iconoclast before running away.
>>47099937
>>47100983
Vs bombardment ships and carriers you need to get close and keep side-on to them. Set the target on their ship to generator or weapons. Try to stay close enough to let AP shells work.
Get AP shells.
>>47101687
Looks more purple to me.
>>47101683
Each hit has a chance of causing a fire. They're actually not very effective because they will both get shot down by point defense and have no armor pen, plus orks and IN give zero fucks about fire unless there's a several of them.
They do good against chaos though.
>>47101208
Other people have mentioned, but a few other things:
America is south of most of Europe. Paris, for example, is 8 degrees north of Banglor, Maine. Buried wires are cheaper if you get enough winter weather to damage them otherwise. Such winters are rare in the US.
America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires.
>>47101745
This is the lighting, like another anon said.
>>47101745
>>47101802
It's really blue though. There isn't anywhere near enough red in that to make me think purple.
>>47101794
>America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires.
Fuck...
>>47101838
Im still thinking that it's either very dark blue or just and just violet.
>>47101705
But spending public money to improve infrastructure and develop the nation sounds a lot like what the people on TV say is communism.
The only lawful, capitalisr use of tax money is defense procurement and massive subsidies for companies.
>>47101794
>America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires.
...Europoors actually do this?
oh man that pulsar range nerf really made eldar more fair to play against!i'll just continue instantly capitulating every game the enemy has an eldar
>>47101908
Yeah, especially ex-soviet states people will cut down power lines and sell them as scrap.
>>47101908

Copper is a quite valuable metal. There are organised gangs (as in, the actual mafia in some places) who rove around stealing it and selling it.

Evil Sunz or Goffs.
>>47102015
>single assault action
>no auto crit
>minimum range
>limited fire arc
Uhh...
>>47101629
The other factor is that in underfunded or sparsely populated areas benefit from having hanging cables because you don't need to dig them up to replace them. That makes them quicker and cheaper to replace and so they're more likely to be replaced than just left broken.
>>47102111

>>47102182
Lucky is the operative word here. Every one of your strikes may fail and even if they're successful it's more likely not to disable their engines than it is to disable them and it does nothing at at to affect their movement.
>>47102182

Yes

MORK AND GORK ATTACK
>MAGA
so shitposting and sore headed people aside, is there a reliable chaos counter to eldar battleship sneaky 50% damage favour?
if i had an imperial ship with xbox sized detection range at least I could detect it in time.
every match boils down to hiding in a gas cloud and moving around hoping the eldar gets caught out and comes close enough to taunt(they really don't)
otherwhise you just can't get them, not even carriers work because lol despotted. maybe if i change my probe to anti eldar beacon, but then I have a dud ability the rest of the time
>>47102182
>nail an eldar's engine
>lol he just boosts away with the 4 second cooldown
>still faster than your ork pieces of junk this way
>>47102511
/BFGV/ a shit
>>47102546
Chaos is actually the easiest faction to beat eldar with consistently. Just use carnages with slanesh tp and taunt.
>>47102608
slaanesh might do it, a shame there aren't more fleet slots then anon, as I currently have decked out my fleet the fun way, which is to say nurgle carnages that go through asteroid fields
>>47101208
because we invented electricity, and we havnt gotten around to replacing them.
>>47102643
Sigh I know what you mean anon, it's a shame you can't have as many decked out ships as you want for whatever situation like tabletop.
>>47102520
C'mon, it'll be just like tabletop!
>>47102566
So that's why you hit his deck next. He's not going to be making attack runs if he has to boost in AND out.
>>47102520
What eldar ships are not ingame, the Dragonships, the Wraithships and the shadowhunters?
>>47102520
>Ork ship are almost fully customizable
What are you smoking son?
>>47102776
>getting two crits against an eldar ship
how did you ever accomplish that
>>47102876
I don't know, never played the TT.
>>47102879
I just want different looking ships.
>>47102908
They have shitty boarding value, you dingdong. And if you max servitors SA attack on a light cruiser is like, 70 second cooldown.
>>47102876
Dragonships, wraithships, shadowhunters, void dragons, and ghostships. All modular, but they're all craftworld ships. The corsairs are pretty much roster complete in the vidya, though the class division between CC and BC doesn't make a lot of sense.
>>47103010
when i hover over boarding action (with SA) to a voidstalker or something it usually gives me a success chance of about 12%
>>47102506
Or you could use any of the other favors and get a guaranteed effect every time. Bad Moons is the least effective favor in regard to affecting an opponent, the most valuable thing about it is the additional upgrade.
why is IN vs IN the most fun matchup?
>>47101794
I have heard the xact opposite thing, that suspended wires were easier to repair during harsh winters. I'm inclined to believe it since alaskan and canadian villages have suspended wires as far as I remember.
>America is south of most of Europe
Yeah, but we got a nice little thing called the Gulf Stream, which means that temperature in Paris is higher on average than Banglor's.
In the end, it probably has to do with safety rules, since telephonic wires are mostly suspended here despite electricity being underground.
>>47101208
Quebec here, it's just cheaper to maintain now that the things won't break after icy rain.

Looks like ork bombas aren't as bad as I thought. Ork carrier fleet viable?
>>47104284
I want ther to be an option to have orbital mines instead of strike craft in game.
Basically it would drop a small group of slow moving mines, just like on TT.
>>47104284
Don't they have 3 attack too? I can't remember the tool tip. Still having a potential of 60 damage per ordnance bay on a 40ish second time isn't bad.
>>47104284
I'm disappointed they didnt just have fighta bommas instead of fighters and bombers
>>47104411
They definitely deal a lot less damage than other factions bombers

My hellbringer build
Mainly I'm a butthurt former IN player that gets owned by every other faction. Just lost two cruisers to a single chaos battle cruiser, after losing a game with three light cruisers against Eldar and their ZZZAP lasers. IN, even though I'm an imperial fanboy, is not for me.
So I said fuck it, I'm kiting for the rest of this games existence till the IN gets noob friendly, because honestly, with factions that specialize even better than the IN they are technically at a disadvantage.
>x3 squadron pilot crew upgrades

Does Khorne favor support Assault Boats?
>>47105196
Carriers aren't the be all end all. A good player will break detection range and silent running to remove bombers/assault boats or camp in a cloud.
You don't have any way of forcing detection like an attachable probe or even the augur probe.
Against Chaos I expect Lanceboats or Carriers and both can be ruined by just 3 or 4 upgraded escorts.
>>47105218
>>47105246
I figure I can kite until I can afford to slot and upgrade stronger ships.
>>47105196
>Does Khorne favor support Assault Boats?
nope
>>47105196
> Hellbringers with Slaanesh
Tzeentch cackles in disapproval.
For carriers, you want the auto refuel, asteroid shields, and emissions dissipator so you can kite real good.
Pretty sure Khorne doesn't affect strike craft.
>>47105196
Pu the weakened ships behind other ships so the bombers need to go though more turrets. Blob together in general. That's all it takes to cut bomber effectiveness by like 75%.
Or just get Emperor battleship and you're completely immune to bombers.
>>47105433
Asteroid shields are waste of slot. Just get the +100 shields so you can shrug off more long range lances and novas. Without the shield upgrade novas will just wreck you completely. With the +100 shield novas do fucking nothing.
>>47105196
Pro chaos kiter build here. Slaneesh is meh.
>>47097713
If only
>>47102546
Augur probe + Detection beacon on the fucker = 180s of revealed battleship no matter what he does.
>>47101683
If you hit Eldar with them it's awesome. 25% armour and shit health means 4 fires will wreck their ships fast.
>>47105523
>nurgle with AP ammo
that's mean
>>47105949
The problem with meltas is that the first salvo does nothing because they will just put out fires with repair. You need to actually get 2 salvos to hit and that's pretty tough vs eldar.
>>47106010
Yeah but then they waste their repair so you can slug them with macros.
>>47106305
>slug
>eldar
>costanza.jpg
>>47106305
I usually use meltas at long range (as in from deployment on,), then once I'm in about 6k switch to torps.
Meltas start fires, which in the long run (even if repaired) do more damage as they've already wasted their repair putting it out whereas one torp making it through the turrets from across the map isn't going to do much compared to that.
In a 300 point game (I.e. 2v2), three light cruisers with traktor cannon is hilariously good fun. Those things absolutely wreck the IN but if you can get Eldar with them it almost, *almost* makes playing against them worth it.
>tfw you traktor cannon your own ship into a dauntless into a minefield, then you bounce him into another ship and kill him by one last traktor into your allies slaughter. Poor bastard went from full hp to dead in 8 seconds.
>>47106902
Also, is chained squig mandatory?
>>47106987
Less fun.
>>47102333
that's how it is in the TT. IN and chaos are unusual in having so many options.
>>47106987
Naw, but without it if one of your kaptians decieds to leg it you have to pick right away if you want to try and stick around or if you are going to pound the warp out button on everyone.

Exactly, >>47105196 here, thanks to those light cruisers, I get away with a bit of experience and renown every game, making sure I have ships that can last in a fight and get more renown to spend on upgrades for better ships.
Basically I just harass every game till it's time to GTFO. Triple upgrade to squadron sergeant and double on dark navigator. I'm really playing a hit and run chaos navy till I get my nurgle cruisers.

>>47110618
>Mechanicus or Space Marines. (How much do you intend to lightning strike?)
I'd say deciding between them has more to do with how often you think you're going to GET boarded, rather than the other way around.
A front line combat ship that's going to be stealing data, receiving broadsides, and generally getting all up in the enemy's grill, will be getting its shields knocked down and/or boarded alot more than a Gothic/Mars at the back. So the extra defensive TV comes in very handy.
So how do Eldar play in the tabletop? They seem super fragile, and with half of every shot that hits doing a crit, it seems like I should just take a bunch of hellbore/aconites and a couple shadows so I have some fighters/bombers.
>>47110715
you fuck around not getting shot while blasting things with 9k+ range pulsars
>>47110715
Even more broken than in the vidya. The move-shoot-move makes it so that you can always be abeam in addition to all the other shooting modifiers.
ABROdal NO!

GET OUT OF MY WAY, HERETICAL FUCKING SHITS!!!
so in the TT why isn't stacking your ships on the same point in space more common? seems like it's make an escort squadron more manageable if you're moving them all the same way and shooting at the same thing.
also do blast markers ever go away or are they permanent?
>>47105523
>Pro Chaos fuck me in the ass mr ork build
>not Slaanesh
>>47111220
because outside of very specific circumstances you cannot end your movement with overlapping bases.
At the end of each players turn they remove 1d6 blast markers which are not in base to base contact with a ship.
how well does having shitloads of strike craft(fighters bombers boats etc) work in both the video game and TT?
What if i get all my ships destroyed in multiplayer? Yes im really bad at this game.
>>47111312
they give you a welfare dauntless to use in the battle
>>47111334
Better than the ork wellfare ship, a light kroozer with zero custom points.
what skills are best for each class of ship of each race?
>>47111385
>>47111385
IN
LC: taunt and/or stasis
OR
Augur/beacon
Cruiser
Taunt, shield transfer, stasis, beacon, fuel cells (depending on what you want it doing)
BC: as above
BB: as above + MWJ (and get the sensors upgrade).
AP ammo on everything.
Shield and hull upgrades.
Sensor upgrades on some stuff.
Mechanicus favour on everything not a dauntless MK2.
That's how I run my extremely guns heavy fleet anyway.
There should be pics of my level 10 fleet in the previous thread.
>>47111503
Oh and ram on everything that can take it.
Ignore strike craft, disregard escorts.
>>47111503
>>47111515
What is it with imperials and rams?
Honestly such a vulgar thing to do in strategic void combat
Can anyone help me figure out the sector color schemes and what colors i can best use? I have my huge irene order sitting on my desk and i am unsure which colors to use.
Anyone know the original dark green colors used for the imperial navy?
>>47111758
>Sir, this "panzy findah" we got from the ork fleet is pinging. Hard.
If recaster-anon is still on, there are a couple eldar FW models on ebay right now. Both cruisers types, transports and even a spire.
>>47111766
That dark green is almost definitely dark angel green, with probably snot green for the highlights
>>47111766
Saw irene too.
Are their cast good?
How does the plastic/reson feel?
I think to buy some ships there too. But not sure since thez are not cheap. Even if they are cheaper than the alternatives.
Test.
>>47111758
Imperials are second best at ramming, and eldars, chaos are pretty vulnerable to it. Why not use it to your advantage? Besides you get torpedo launchers with rams.
>>47112131
They arguably are 'the' best at ramming since they have an easier time getting into position and can take a ram upgrade independently of a favour.
What are some good builds for Orks? Or I guess things to look out for/avoid
>>47112466
Traktor beams are hilarious.
>>47112466
Im not really good at this but probably Taunt enemy, ram them, get close. They have best damage broadside as long as you close.
Advantages of a carnage over murder/slaughter?
Different anon with an ork based question. Heavy cannonz, are they worth it? Especially as broadsides?
>>47109120
You can modify your barge a little to look different.
Depends on goal or what your skills are.
>>47112539
Astra Strayans , reporting for duty, cunt!
>>47112511
They make your broadsides become really brutal especially with lock on and the upgrade for it
>>47112511
Id say yes.
They have slower fire-rate than the regular loads o' gunz, but when they hit they do massive damage. Their range though is horrendous and you WILL need the range upgrade as well as the AP upgrade.
Couple that with some speed upgrades and you will be eating panzees for dinner.
For someone who's just getting into BFG:A, can one of you kind skeletons tl;dr what the pros and cons of the different races are?
I have no idea why my ships have full health look, then on a split second they are in like 10 health.
>>47112638
IN
Pros: jack of all trades
Cons: master of none
Chaos
Pros: long range even if with the lowest ships
Cons: you need to take care of your ships,
Orks
Pros: well they are funny to play with roleplaying as a kaptin in chat.
Cons: you are slower than any other race and have shit range. Anons will try to convince you they are great with level 8 admiral meme builds, but you'll eat shit till then.. Truck loads of shit
Eldar
Pros: you can make people cry
Cons: people will hate you, you'll lose your friends.
>>47112638
As far as Durability goes: Orks 1st, Imperial Navy 2nd, Chaos 3rd, Eldar 4th
When it comes to speed, the races go in the opposite direction.
Of course, upgrades and favours can change this to an extent, it's possible to make a Chaos Brawler fleet, or an Ork Speed fleet, but by and large the above ranking holds.
I'd recommend starting with the Imperium, they have fairly durable ships and good firepower and don't need huge amounts of micro to be effective.
>>47112668
AI is that guy from the american top sniper copypasta. They'll land everyshot right over your ship. Yours will be glorified disruption bombs at best.
>>47112638
I'd recommend not playing Eldar till the next balance patch, they're about to get some heavy changes.
>>47112687
>you are slower than any other race and have shit range. Anons will try to convince you they are great with level 8 admiral meme builds, but you'll eat shit till then.. Truck loads of shit
Depends, Orks v Orks or IN can be great fun. Chaos is difficult, and if you're against Eldar alt+F4 immediately
>>47112726
>Alt+F4 immediately
Unless yer not a grot an' you brought da most dakka!
>>47109120
A lot of battlebarges are retrofitted Battleships. Space wolves have an Emperor class as one of theirs IIRC.
>>47112702
In multiplayer, to the point I think it might be a bug.
>>47111243
>>47111220
Actually you can always overlap your bases. It's just physically inconvenient to do and comes with negatives cheifly that area effect things like blast markers or a nova cannon will hit every ship in the stack.
>>47111283
On The TT its can work well as a viable strategy. It used to be OP but they changed the rules so you couldn't have potentially infinite bombers on the table.
>>47112726
Every eldar i faced fancied themselves orks, it didn't work in their favour natureally
>>47112539
>>47112551
In space there is no up or downunder.
Just space.
Dont know why the pic got upside down.
>>47113237
>>47112484
Range and firepower.
any advice on names and load outs?
>>47113264
If your flagship is not named
Fistus the Elbow Deep I will be disappoint
>>47113264
"Oh shit nigga what are you doing."
>>47113264
Sheeet, Orks must just insta-insurbordinate when they face you
Traktor beaming a panzie into his own plasma bombs is super satisfying i must say.
>>47113264
Here's mine. I think I lost maybe three matches so far.
>>47113818
How? Eldar should drop plasma bombs from 9k range.
>>47113839
And only now do I realize I made a fucking typo. Meh, I don't use that Hellbringer all that often anyway.
>>47113818
>traktor beaming a voidstalker into a minefield after he already swooshed
>>47113891
The traktor beam might be the greatest tool in this game - there's so much dickery to be had. Considering changing the favor on my BB to it, just so I can fling gits around more often.
why does hitting a broadside with a retribution feel so good
So, how do I not suck with the Mars pattern? Every time I use it, it gets blown up, no matter what I do with it.
>>47114353
hitting a ram with the upgrade feels even better
>>47113264
the violation of purity
the tainted taint
the rusty venturethe fortress of hand-holding
the consensual missionary position
>>47114394
It's the one with a nova cannon, right?
Just hang back with it while your other ships go brawl.
Either throw a fighter screen to help against enemy bombers or send some bombers of your own to do some damage.
And keep the nova cannon on auto-cast.
>>47114394
I just stock it full of support abilities (Probe, shield transfer, stasis bomb etc) and keep it at medium range. I tend to take it against chaos to counteract their bombers. Also bear in mind it's still pretty powerful, it's got the firepower of an overlord but with one less macro battery.
Though it's not the greatest I admit, it can be useful in the right circumstances
>>47112696
I'd honestly say imperials edge out orks for durability just because they don't have 25 armor ass ends.
