Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

The problem with that salty is termis are very late game. Many games end before you can effectively field them. Even in longer games where they will see use I don't they would get over lvl 2. I'd much rather just keep their stats as is OR just allow them to level to 2 max and make it take as much xp...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

There is no doubt in my mind that the reinforce cost between the two is of significant importance. This econ upgrade in terms of a power bleed reduction most certainly must be looked at and part of the consideration. You're trading higher req bleed and xp feed for no power bleed. TSM vs SGSM is pret...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

Yeah, it's my understanding that the special ammo uses the base damage of the bolters which is about 14.5 (before leveling) and then applies special modifiers based on what kind of target they are shooting. Now I may very well be incorrect in how special ammo damage is calculated. Clarification from...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

Let’s get the math in here on what a level 1 SG squad's dps and hp looks like compared to level 2. Then we can all have a good hard look at it. Tac squad lvl 2: 1595 ranged dps with sarg: 62.35 melee dps with sarg: 91.465 (also has special attack) Stern lvl 1: 1450 ranged dps: 58.32 melee dps: 76 O...

Re: GK Balance Suggestions

They probably just deserve a buff of hp in t2 naturally to about 1200 from 900. An AoE suppression effect too would really finish the squad off imo. Give them the option to upgrade to a 4th model in t2 (which would get them to 1200 life). This 4th model would have either a sword and storm bolter or...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

De leveling and overly nerfed vengeance rounds are the major issues here... As people have stated, sterns do not compare well to many tier 2 and tier 3 units. In the vast majority of situations you're far better off taking a specific weapon for tacs and saving the resources you would have wasted on ...

make the BC's daemon hammer heavy melee. that will give walker's something to think about. no, it already counters melee, and does a shitload of damage, if it had 100heavy melee damage, his other melee wargears would be poor, Meh, maybe i'm teribad (probably) but I find the halberd to be far more u...

Re: Grey Knight Rhino in t1

Suppression on a very fast platform that cannot be tied up is a very bad idea, i'd rather see a dedicated psycannon team (With a T2 upgrade to make it AV)that acts like all the setup teams in T1 and the rhino moved in T2. while leaving the purgation as a form of close-anti blobbing by increasing th...

Re: Grey Knight Rhino in t1

It would be fine if it came along with the heavy bolter upgrade, making it cost 75/30. This gives me an idea. Grey knights obviously lack suppression, which has been of large concern in terms of this armies overall balance. Maybe the rhino could have 3 possible upgrades? Twin linked las, as is pres...

Re: I can't stop talking about Tacs n' Sternguard...

Allways kinda asumed that the level reset is primarly a technical restriction. Having them replaced with another unit with the same amount of XP I could imagine would be hard to mod. I think the major issue is that tacs and sterms gain a different % increase in hp as they level. The % hp increase p...

Re: Grey Knight Rhino in t1

I don't think giving grey knights a mobile reinforce point in tier 1 would be a good idea... That being said, an upgrade choice in tier 2 (either las cannon or reinforce upgrade at a higher cost) could be interesting.

Imo GK still need a bit of work. A couple more heroes and some rounding out of their army would not be a bad idea.

I'm okay with storm bolter for vanilla rhino. No more than 15-20dps tho. 10-15 dps with range 40 would probably be all that's needed. Having it do more dps than a single tac or strike marine is not needed. It's my understanding that the dps values on ranged weapons is including reload times for sai...
