Daily reminder to kill all Eldar on sight.
Come ooon. Are we all so busy purging that we can't take breaks to share our tails of the xeno-hunt?

Erry tim. Best part is that I run a Slaaneshi fleet so it was extra sweet.
The best way to bait Eldar is to lead them into thinking they've got the upper hand, then punish them severely for their hubris.
>>335156123

Are the Tau in-game? If so, do they get the Mantas?
>>335157291
First thing that Tech-Priest cunt tells me is that "Oh, don't worry, Orks can't into tactics! They're thick as logs!".
>immediately outsmart me and go straight for my VIP targets
There again I am also an idiot, so that might be the reason.
How do i win the imperium of man, getting stomped most of the time in MP/ Help me get gud
>>335157353
Not yet but they'll probably be one of the first new races to be added if the game is successful.
>>335157269
Slaaneshi name conventions is all about decadence and debauchery, tasteful while still being very un-tasteful.
"MAXIMUM FUCK" and more straight on names are better fitting for the spess muhreens when they arrive if you wanna go with an angry marines theme
Does game randomly crashes almost every mission only for me?
>>335157353
The second race/faction that's coming is either Tau, Necrons or Tyranids.
Here's hoping for all of them eventually.
>>335157571
I've played for 7 hours and I haven't crashed once. That being said I've just been playing the campaign, maybe the MP's unstable?
Am I the only one hoping for more campaign with the inevitable DLC/expansions?
I don't get why you fuckers didn't like the story.
>>335157436
Don't be afraid to get up close and personal.
Spam torpedoes and be front aligned now and then to fire them off or use your lances, also higher armor up front to soak up damage if you are approaching into their firing range, but not your own yet.
Ramming with the defense buff is highly recommended.
Try not to get split up and overwhelmed, and keep them at 3-6km distance if possible.
Autocast lightning assault on your long range ships and boarding pods on your closer range/brawler ships. less shit to keep track of that way, muckin' about with the turning thrusters is stressful enough as is in the current torpedo spam meta.
Grab the skills that fit your own playstyle, be it bombs, mobility or utility etc.
>>335157353

Apples and oranges. That's like saying Age of Empires is better than Civ.
>>335160247
...the fuck?
Just how the fuck do I even play with Chaos? Supposed to have great long range weapons and their fragile ships should be kept away. My ships can't stay away from even slow as fuck ork ships unless I constantly baby sit what they do even if I have put their engagement ranges max. What am I doing wrong?
Also, if I order them to engage with their lances, they just sit in place and without moving and not caring what happens around them.
>>335160243
wat?
>>335160567
He's right, you fucking idiot.
A 4x space game is vastly different from a tactics based naval game.
>>335157571
I have almost 40 hours of playtime since the beta opened in march and I have yet to crash.
>>335161384

>he wan't to travel into the immaterium every time he wants to go somewhere.

>>335161384
frontal mode will just put your ships aiming at the enemy with the prow whenever they are in range, immobile.
broadside makes them circle around them while moving
You wanna break the shield and pop 'take aim' and pray to the four that you crit their engines and shields
The fuel refill skill is a gift from the chaos gods, highly recommended.
Always take note of what the ships are meant for by looking at their stats, weaponry and weaponry angles/range
Some of the cruisers have devastating broadside macros, lances and are slightly faster, but in turn have lower range and less 360 turrets. You wanna go armour, shields and survivability for these.
Others have launchbays and longer range weaponry, basically carriers meant to muck about at 12km
Then you have the 12km+ snipers/artillery which are basically more weaponized versions of the carrier type, but none or less launch bays.
But yeah, Chaos combat doctrine is basically to be an annoying cunt keeping away at max distance and rail lancer and bomber hell on them. Try not to get caught in close combat if possible.
>>335157571
pirate? i saw comments on codex's release that it crashes a lot. maybe it's a bad crack.
>>335159253
>>335162228
>>335162380
I just "acquired" that version. Installing right now, installer music is 6/10.
>>335161853
You fucking moron.
God.
What a piece of fucking shit.
Both games are still real time fucking strategy games.
In sins, the fucking capitol ships can cast abilities and special weapons.
You can fucking build massive fleets and colonize planets, or destroy them from orbit.
Would fucking fit well with a fucking wh40k total conversion mod that you can fucking play rather then this fucking game where it only lets you toy around with 3 fucking ships in space.
>>335159574
Comparing this game to Sins is absurd. It's a real time tactical game not a 4X.If you're waiting for a Sins sequel that will never happen as I am check out Stelaris. It's probably the closest we're going to get.
>>335160243
I swear I've seen that same French guy/site giving low reviews to otherwise positively received games before.
>>335162140
The dude crashing every mission sounds more like the exception.
>>335162584
>doesn't understand what makes a 4x game a 4x
Yeah, I'm the stupid one alright....
>>335162704
Because he's the only one affected and not one of the hundreds of guys on the forums complaining about the very same thing or anything.
>>335162584
Sins is a real time 4x game with an emphasis on economy and expansion, the combat in Battlefleet has way more depth than battles in Sins because that's what the game is about
>>335162747
Both games are still real time fucking strategy games.
>>335162584
They are similar, but the combat is much heaver in BGO due to angles, collision, torpedoes etc.
This game is also more of a conversion of the tabletop game with some liberties taken.
While you control more ships in the tabletop, it is also turnbased so you can accurately manage way more ships than the 3+ ones you have in the pc game. Just managing 3 ships mid-battle is a stressful micromanagement nightmare when there's torpedoes, bombs and rammings to avoid at the same time.
>>335162864
>>335162951
Lets just pretend they can both be converted to wh40k space strategy games.
>>335162881
Just kill yourself already you giant fucking idiot. It's pretty obvious that no amount of explanation is going to work it's way through your kilometers thick skull.
>>335162837
They don't represent the norm either. Yeah, it sucks for them that they're having problems but playing the issue up isn't going to change the reality of it. They'll have to wait for a fix or use more reliable hardware.
>>335154194
Only buying it when the Tau comes.
>>335163103
Yea I get it, they are both completely different.
One is a strategy game where you command ships, and the other is a strategy game where you command way more ships.
>>335163268
better hope its the second announced faction then.
>>335157571
Pirated version crashes every half hour or so. I guess CODEX will have a new crack up at some point.
>>335163290
You command a LARGE EMPIRE in a 4x game you fucking retard.
In this you merely command a SMALL FLEET and upgrade it to the best of your abilities.
Yes, there's a fucking difference.
Is it fun?
>>335163657very
>>335163312
who else could it be? i gueess there are necrons, dark eldar(please no) or tyranids to chose between.
>>335163657
Yeah man, if you like fleet combat it's great.
The ships look great as well.
Who's playing the campaign here?
Has anyone met any of the named chaos ship, ala Terminus Est yet?
>>335163549
You don't command an empire, you command ships in real time. Sometimes you split them into multiple smaller fleets. You create an empire by commanding those ships to colonize and defend worlds, but the main gameplay is commanding ships into battle, to the best of their abilities.
I plan to get this when it goes on sale.
>>335163783
I'm gonna bet it's necrons
>>335163930
the sudden DoW II necron update would make sense then.
>>335163783
dark eldar only have 1 cruiser and some escorts, wouldn't work at all.
So there's a 33% chance its either of them.
I'll be fine with any of them though.
>>335162523
Cmon m8 what's the sauce
>>335163860
And the extent of tactics in that combat is your ships parking in front of each other and simply focus firing everything down. Sins is probably my favorite space strategy of all time but that guy trying it compare it to this is absolutely retarded.
This game is too fucking hard for me to grasp. Played few hours already and even when I win against AI in skirmish, it rarely feels like victory.
I can't even believe how much micro I would need to perform with massive fleet when my ships can't do shit alone and AI does everything perfectly, like keeping distance or advancing in close combat.
>>335163860
if you can't understand the difference between different types of strategy games nobody here is going to convince you, just go stick your head back under your rock and hope that everybody will be dumber by the time you come back out to learn about the world
>>335164175
What faction are you playing? Maybe I can give you some help.
For starters space bar activates bullet time and you can use the custom battles to keep playing lower point fights till you feel comfortable enough to play larger matches.
>>335162228
>he wants to be relevant on a galactic scale
>>335164175
It's not that hard man.
Like example:
You have 2 dauntless cruisers, both are close range scrappers. So put them on 3km distance, so you get in nice and close.
Right click boarding parties & emergency repairs. With your Dauntless MK2, you can spin around and launch a point-blank torpedo spread.
Or when facing escorts, let them close in and then boost forward.
That is.. if you are playing against AI. Don't know about human players, doubt they'd want to snuggle in close.
Oh and watch out against Orks, they love to ram.
>>335164219
I understand the difference, it's just that they are not as different as in your over-exaggerations.
All I was trying to say was that a wh40k mod for sins would be a lot more fun than this game.
>>335162523
What the fuck is that from
>>335164024
They're completely unrelated games, companies and publishers
>>335164334
>>335164481
I tried Chaos and did some campaing missions. Imperium feels okay, since I just need to get close and ships actually try to do that even alone. With Chaos though they just can't keep their distance against anyone if they are left alone even for a second. Even some ork ships reaches them and rams them fast. I've seen others besides me having this same problem with Chaos. Is this faction just too advanced to play as?
Description says they have great lances with good range. If I set them to use those, they just stop moving and be a target. Should I just keep using those broadside cannons let them circle enemy forever?
>>335163268
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
>>335164681
No they're not. Warcraft 2 and Medieval: Total War are both real time based strategy games with medieval settings but that doesn't make them comparable types of games, and going into a Total War thread and talking about how much you would prefer Warcraft with a historical mod would be ridiculous.
>>335164929
Just to rile up some interest again. How else would you explain updating a ancient game like that
>>335164463
Hey man you don't have to control the world to be relevant, just look at Switzerland.
>>335165049
>no 40k anime ever
>>335165354
They're about as relevant as any other non-faction alien race at war with the Imperium
That is, not at all
>>335165071
Chaos are just really weird to play, they rely on kiting a lot. I haven't personally played as them yet but I have 40 hours as imps and from what I can tell the best strategy with them is to play with detection ranges and strike craft.
Bring an probe or something and spot the enemy then remain outside of their detection range the best you can so they can't fire back. You can use silent running to go back into stealth after you've been spotted and get back outside of detection range.
Bombers should be used against orks as they have too high of a troop rating for assault boats to be useful but not enough turrets to reliably kill your bombers. Bombers also target their rear armor which is the weakest (you can tell armor ratings on the ship stat screen at the bottom of the HUD. it displays like 75/50/50 which means front/side/rear armor.).
Assault boats are good at crippling ships with poor troop ratings and are best used against eldar but can knock a system or weapon off of any enemy ship if you're lucky.
Fighters are for countering enemy strike craft (bombers/ assault boats) and torpedoes. They don't seem to have a fixed duration and last until they shoot something down so it's smart to deploy them at the start of a mission since your hangars should be recharged by the time you actually engage the enemy.
>>335165150
You're retarded.
People conditionally go to total war threads and make the exact kind of suggestions I made.
>>335164024
In the lore. Didn't the Necrons have a role in the Gothic war?
How is the Space Marine faction and do they play differently from the Imperial Navy?
>>335165831
Wouldn't that be the ultimate heresy?
No 40K could use a well-animated western series.

>Come this close to buying the game

The Deceiver talked Abaddon into the whole thing in the first place, So I guess so.
>>335165946
Probably, the whole Gothic campaign was about Abaddon recovering some Eldar built C'tan killing doodads
>>335166014
They aren't in the game yet, they come out in a few weeks. They're in the campaign and a kind of limited AI controlled faction you can assist to make their favor cheaper.
>>335165913
Thanks for the help man. Gonna use those in my campaing play. I think I'll continue with it and move on to skirmish after that. Chaos seems lot more micro management heavy faction compared to imps and thats just too much for me after so little playtime.
I honestly went with Chaos just because I've used to play board game with them. Got World Eaters army sitting in my shelf.
Is the SP campaign any good?

>>335166497
It's pretty great so far.

>>335166853
Brutally cunning or cunningly brutal. They have lower accuracy at mid and long range, very good against boarding, highest ramming damage, slow and not maneuverable. They have boarding torpedoes (torpedoes with boarding crews inside, as orky as it gets) and funny voice lines.
Eldar are the most skill demanding race, truly, the race of real patricians.
Other races are for plebs and shitters.

>>335167773

>>335167207
Also since I assume he was born as this immortal being wouldn't that mean he's some kind of mutant or xenos scum?
>>335167537
They have no real warp travel, making their expansion slow and extremely limited
Their well equipped armies are only so well equipped because they have astronomically fewer soldiers to equip in comparison to anyone else
Their shitty depth perception means human pilots will always be better than Tau pilots
And their plasma is actually weaker than what the Imperium fields

He was born from the greatest psykers that mankind had, basically in pre-historic times there were these beings called shamans, which forsaw what would happen to the eldar, fearing a similar fate for mankind they all united, suicided and merged their souls into one super-soul, which would then go inhabit a fetus, eventually giving birth to the Emperor.

>>335162951
*some* liberties taken? Ships bumping into one another didn't happen in my tabletop. I could also adjust the angles of my ships very cleanly. Not making those things happen automatically in the video game is pretty bad. Made me feel like I was playing DoW again.

what the fuck is up with the point system in this game
ive been doing a bunch of 2v2's with a friend started with level 1 fleets
and after a few matches, every game we do the enemy team has a minimum of 10 fucking ships cause somehow everyone but us gets to field 2 light cruisers each in addition to 5 fucking escorts
i dont understand why all of our games are 6 ships to fucking 10
>>335154194
Is this game worth 30 bucks?
>>335169797
If you wanna adjust the angle of your ships on the spot, then you need to stop the engines and click where you want to align to.
Or just play imps/chaos and use the retros liberally.
Either way, the answer will always be more micro and faster.
Torrent crashes every 5 minutes, so can't decide if I like the game enough to buy
>>335169238
I think the micro would get overwhelming but I expect them to add higher point battles if they LET US FUCKING CHOOSE WHICH MODE AND HOW MANY POINTS DO WE WANT HOLY SHIT I HATE DATA CAPTURE AND CONVOY
>>335170361
it is kind of lame that its not turn based, since its supposed to be a carbon copy of the tabletop game

etc etc. I really wanted to like this game but fuck this RNG bullshit. Not to mention they slapped it in to the campaign as well which is dull as fuck because you repeat the same missions over and over again with an out of place loading screen between each battle which makes you feel disconnected from the actual battle and the campaign itself. A lot of wasted potential.
>>335170523
look up battlefleet gothic: leviathan if you want 1:1 conversion of the tabletop.
>>335170350
don't buy it if it crashes for you. There are steam reviewers that experience that and are left disappointed.
>>335156795
Pretty easy to stop them from doing that actually. Let your light cruisers enter the battle first and then sneak past with your transporters.
You will have to micromanage a few times to let your transporters dodge their ramming attempts but otherwise it's easy peasy
>>335170602
t. babby who didn't play tabletop

I'd assume the next one will be the Necrons, seeing how they are involved in the Gothic campaign.
Eventually we will get all of them if the game sells well enough though. Gotta get that sweet DLC money

And what the fuck is up with the timer on the enemy warp jumps? Shit takes forever when i do it, but chaos pulls that shit in 5 seconds.
>>335170708
this bothers me as well.
Every time there is some defence or escape involved and you are on the attacking side you bet your ass your two boardings will fail and that the enemy will juts float to the edge away from you for two minutes while you infuriately rage after it with boosters at max.
And if you are the defender the enemies will just charge headlong into whatever you are defending and destroy it as fast as they can.
The rng and "clever" bots are making this game a bit of a drag.
I do love the regular space clash battles though
>>335170697
christ, tau didnt have anything back in the 90s, now i'm angry
there is literally no reason for tau to be a faction, multiple novels point to the fact that the tau are utterly inconsequential on the galactic stage
>>335170523
>it is kind of lame that its not turn based,
fuck off , for real.
Does the cogitator mode work in MP? I assume not and it gets me kind of worried, if I can't micromanage in peace I will get utterly fucked by everyone
>>335154194
Is it just me or does this game just feel really tacky and cheap? I mean the menus, the campaign, the controls, everything feels off.
Missions in this game are total bullshit. How the hell do I steal info from that Chaos ship when my light cruisers cant reach it even at full speed? 4 fucking tries already. Not to mention how fucking fast they destroy one of my light cruisers every time.
>>335171071
you are aware that battlefleet gothic is a turn based tabletop tactics game and not call of duty with ships, right?
>>335170748
That's disappointing
>>335167727
OH MY EMPEROR!
>>335171097
afaik it works but you have a limited time to use it for, last I played was in beta so it may have changed though
>>335171118
Everything has that DoW II aesthetic, except maybe a bit worse. especially with the cheap glidy cinematics and stuff.
The UI is also really strange, bloated and overdone imo.
Decent game under all that tho
>check out 1d4chan's BFG armada article
>the strategy parts are dogshit written by a complete idiot who can't play imperium
Time to fix it.
>>335170941
>Neckbeards pushing their ships with those warmap minuture figures pushing sticks like crazy while throwing dices left and right with some markers here and there for good measure.
Now I want to see it
>>335170523
Bb2 is getting better, sadly at a pace of nothing for months. Norse are finally coming out though and look great.
>>335171319
>cheap glidy cinematics and stuff.
It's because they made the ships feel like tabletop models.
>>335171131
figure the devs h o p e f u l l y will look into it. strange it didn't get worked out after the beta, there must have been people pointing it out as boring gameplay to just chase something for two minutes and then watch as it ports out
>>335169106
>>335169349
The more people push ideas like "git good casual" more poor quality content developers will feel it is ok to get away with. If we as a community push for a higher quality of game the better the chance things will advance to an overall better place.
>>335171414
until they revert the rules changes they made to try to "balance the game" (when the point of blood bowl is to NOT be balanced) as well as release EVERY SINGLE FACTION from blood bowl 1, i won't buy it.
>>335171205
Yes you fucking moron, I used to play TT, but thank god we have computers that can simulate the game in real, which is always the superior choice, now fuck off retard.
>>335171479
>If we as a community push for a higher quality of game the better the chance things will advance to an overall better place.
you're forgetting about the ones pulling the strings who don't care what a gentile like us has to say
>>335171425
yeah that's fine. but i meant the UI being huge and clunky if that makes sense? and especially the opening cinematic where the inquisitor talks to spire after torturing him, check his damn mouth just wobble up and down real adobe flash style
I'm legitimately getting my ass handed to me by the AI on normal. I have a feeling its not because I'm particularly bad either. Seems they get some kind of bonus to their torpedo and boarding party success rates.
>>335171591
okay so you're just a massive casual, i bet you play blood bowl in blitz mode too.
i really wish i had the power to murder people like you with my mind, clean /v/ up a little.
Thoughts on Firestorms?
>>335171631
I mean, they had a very tight budget and it doesn't look that bad. The UI didn't look terrible for me, of course it could be better but it does its job. Now the real issue I have is the lack of hotkeys.
>>335171680
Same here. And really, stay away from more micro heavy factions like Chaos and Eldar at the beginning. Those are really pain to control without experience in this game.
>>335170347
Well yeah, that is how you play this game. That isn't how the tabletop played. My expectations were all buggered up most likely because I saw it presented as a PC version of the tabletop. I goofed when I assumed the game would have tooltips, good AI, and a properly built tutorial. Once I saw the error of my ways, I was fine with admitting them and returning the game.
>>335171741
>I'm a superior person because I'm a pedo who enjoys doing nothing whilst the other party takes forever to decide what to do
This is you.
>>335165946
>Didn't the Necrons have a role in the Gothic war?
They are the reason for the Gothic war. The Deceiver tricked Abandon into starting the campaign to make sure that the Fortresses get fucked up because those were capable of destroying the C'tan
>>335170287
Yeah, I'd say so.
>>335171847
I'm playing the Imperium, each ship has about 7 different skills to use and I have on average 4 ships in every battle. Seems a bit excessive to me.
>>335171519
A safe bet, on more exciting prospects they are releasing slann starplayers in this upcoming patch so we might get frog team.
>>335171809
oh yeah of course, i can totally see that their budget wasn't that of an AAA game and i can't complain about the finished product, i enjoy the game. just pointing stuff out
>>335171802
best frigate
>>335171847
I did great as chaos but I have experience with micromanagement from RTSes and Dota. It's not overwhelming unless you're in 700 points battles.
>tfw in PvP 2v2 and you notice the other dude is too busy microing his ship and left alone a few escort ships
>>335171910
I get where you're coming from, and that's fine.
>>335167203
Is that some fucking Red Gobbo at 1:11?
>Figure I'll torrent it to try shit out, not familiar with Battlefleet shit at all
>Crashes hard after the first 2-3 turns. Like clockwork.
Well shit. Any of you fellas with legitimate steam coppies experience this?
>>335171802
Reliable, more than widowmakers but wms are better at dealing surprise damage. Wearing your enemy down slowly or taking them down with surprise melta torpedoes?
Widowmakers are better imo but they require a bit more micro.
I am playing the campaign and I feel like I'm missing something here.
I'm on the mission where you're suppose to steal the Chaos plans from their ship, early in the first chapter.
I have two nice big cruisers, one light and one, less light.
The problem I keep having is that whenever I steal the plans, they just steal 'em back and warp out.
Am I missing something here, they just seem to be staling for time, and they're so fucking fast.
Do I just need to git gud?
>>335167574
I can't wait to fuck up some xenos with a battle barge
>>335172171
runs like a clock for me so far, around 8 hours into it
>>335172171
Works on MY machine.
>>335172171
Look, it's known that the CODEX crack is slightly fucked. Everyone with a pirated copy experience this.
I've been playing since release, and haven't experienced a single crash.
Explain to me how Data Recovery isn't a shit game mode, all it's about is who has more lightning strikes.
>>335172208
Basically it's fucking stupid. You need to exploit the disengagement timer. Stay close to the chaos ship, don't board or use lightning strike until he starts the warp procedure. Board him, let him board you back, board him AGAIN with the other ship and hopefully his boarding shit is on cooldown and you can warp away.
>>335172321
>>335172321
I've heard it runs well with the 3DM build, I think I'll start a new game and see what's what.
Buying a bunch of plates sometime soon, need the actua 40$ for some more weight.
Squatz.
>>335172208
i feel that you are meant to taste defeat and accept it at that mission. you have three light cruisers against you, unless you bait out at least two of the raids from them without them destroying anything important and then manage to steal it it looks pretty much impossible to clear. fucking rng though.
>>335172476
>Squatz.
RIP
>>335172418
No-one can defend this shit mode.
>>335172208
In these you gotta make sure you can steal the plans and warp out with the ship you used to steal safely it's a bit difficult at first but once you get the hang of it it's a lot easier. Control things like taunt and stasis bombs work wonders for he mission type
>>335172440
>>335172208
Taunt ships trying to warp it supposedly kills the warp procedure.
You could also try rocking two ships with the Lightningstrike upgrade? Or maybe a Cruiser with Assault Boats, focus engines/generator
>>335172527
They've been back a while now
>>335172527
Is it some new mem? I still remember when it was Squatz N Oatz
I don't stay up to date damnit, I'm getting too old.
How do you make Ork viable without ramming? Once you start getting matched with decent people they never let you get anywhere close enough to ram.
I don't want to abandon best faction, but it's starting to look that way.
What kind of weapon type should you go for as IN? Macro cannons out of the ass or lances?
>playing a 2vs 2
>my ally nurgle ship is called "Crusty Cumsocket"
>>335172986
Macrocannons and Nova spam while closing distance seems the best
>>335156123
very lore based strat
To all the imperial players who use nova cannons in pvp
THANKS FOR THE FREE POINTS
>>335172986
Macros seem great for imps. Got that upgrade that makes them armour piercing at 3k ranges and less.
>>335172440
Will Lightning Strike also steal the plans? I thought it had to be the other shitty side-board thing?
>>335173407
Yes. Lightning Strike only works on unshielded targets, boarding works on anything as long as it's in the AoE. They do the same thing.
>>335173407
i've only used lightning strike for it
>>335173208
ironically, the media mostly spreads left-wing propaganda, but still largely supports the same 'capitalists' that this image implies.
>>335173407
Nice, I think I'll attempt to lay down the fire then. See if if I can't cancel their little warp with a good Taunt.
>>335172608
I think I might look into outfitting both my cruisers with upgraded Lightning Strike.
Thanks guys!

They really should allow you to repair critical damage somehow.

The american "left-wing" is everybody else's right wing. Your right-wing is our extreme right.

>>335170523
t. micro shitter
>>335173789
I tend to not take slow ships against orks, you need to outmaneuver them.
>>335173789
Repairing huge ships engines and critical systems without shipyard would be too "unrealistic"
>>335174128
>>335174128
It would be kinda ridiculous considering the sheer fucking volume of Imperial ships.
Those Engine Blocks alone could probably crack a planet if you tossed them at one.
>>335174128
Well at least having an option to reduce the effectiveness of something else to boost engine speed to destroyed engines would be nice. Getting bad RNG at the start of a battle really is just boring and frustrating.
>>335159253
Most importantly
>no melee combat
>>335157420
To be fair, Spess Marine tactics are things like 'smash into the enemy at maximum speed, firing your bolter and swinging your sword for the Emperor'
Chapters like the Doom Eagles who make extensive use of stealth, speed, and Dreadnoughts are considered weirdos (besides the fact that they ARE weirdos).
>>335174115
>mfw i go into 3k range battles with macro cannons as imps against orkz
They actually go pretty well most of the time, but I really need to brace for impact and do evasive manouvers to avoid those rammings.
>>335174128
Just throw some techpriests at it, they'll fix it in minutes, tops
>>335173789
I kind of agree but I think the battles are too short for that to be a thing. I would love if you could take a separate version of the repair ability that healed half as much but gave you back one system that was destroyed.
>>335174393
I'd think ruinous Chaos powers could do some engine possessing even in event when they are completely destroyed. Chaos gods can into very fucked up things.
>>335174479
>To be fair, Spess Marine tactics are things like 'smash into the enemy at maximum speed, firing your bolter and swinging your sword for the Emperor'
Seems about right
