total comes to 1849
Are the two Canoptek Harvests and 4 units of tombblades enough going forward on turn #1?
Leonard Nimoy was in both the last star trek films .. boom! :P…..gonna miss him, damn he was cool.
Ah that’s right, he was! haha
Frankie!
Nimoy!!
Once that Covenant fleet releases, you can guarantee there will be at least one L3 commission request headed your way.
Nice!
That Necron List pays a tax of 20 warriors and extra overlord for no benefit. Pull that out, add more wraiths. 3 Wraiths are killable, 5-6, not so much so. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the effectiveness of 3 Wraiths vs 6.
With the Decurion Detachment, those beasts can get a 4+++ RP roll. 3++/4+++ T5 W2… sick.
Genuinely curious why the warriors and overlord are considered to be a tax by so many players with a 4+ Sv followed by a 4+ RP roll rerolling 1’s and guns that can hurt anything within 24”. Sit in cover on different levels next to an objective and see how much firepower it takes to shift them. Overlord without scythe or res orb is probably a waste . Is it a Tournament thing ? Not disagreeing as not a regular Tournament player just curious
It’s a sad day when Frankie gets the pronounciation of Barrie right and Reece is way off base.
Is it pronounced like the fruit? haha, in my face, if so!
Yup just like the fruit! Source: I live 20 minutes from there.
Damn, I got taken to school, lol!
I don’t understand the point of the second reclamation legion in that list. There is room in the first legion for the 2 warriors and immortal squad of the second legion, you would only loose out on 1 min squad tomb blades, which you could split up to beef the other 3 squads and the overlord with no upgrades who adds nothing to the list. By just removing the “tax” overlord he could add 2 more wraiths. Or use the points from the extra tomb blade squad and overlord to field an additional night scythe to help with the lack of fire power problem.
lol – Frankie’s been playing Chutes and Ladders and knitting these past years – Leonard Nimoy – omg
I know, right? Haha
Reece, the guy who never plays Vidya Games hasn’t play halo, I’m surprised.
I played a lot of Video Games, but just never Halo. Last game i played was Skyrim, which I enjoyed a lot.
You said you never play video games several times on the podcast and in person. After ever quest you said you dont.
Now you are telling me you do?
I just rarely ever play them. Like, once or twice a year. I used to love them.
I miss the bus driving by.
Lol!
Haha
The ship design in halo is pretty good, but is there really a huge range of ships available to support a game in an ongoing way? I’m just interested, as it will be up against firestorm armada, starwars armada, and dropfleet commander zone 😛 Going to be a great year for space combat junkies.
It’s a pity that firestorm never appealed to me.
Leonard Nemoy !!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Frankie he is in both of the new Star Trek movies….. as Old Spok from the future
Lol, that was a classic Frankie-ism! haha
Well poop, i thought i had some of this stuff figured out. Wouldn’t all those Canoptic Harvests each be a detachment and so by current standard for ITC not playable?
