On the Rodoks and Nexus I'd do it, definitely. Also on all of my Malignos profiles that have combis.
Rodoks, Nexus, M-Drones. It'd hurt the most on M-Drones but it'd be worth the points saving.
It doesn't matter, because to do well in tournaments you have to beat the most powerful factions, and OSS/ALEPH has NWI/Dogged skirmishers....
I disagree about the "majority of targets." NWI skirmishers are a huge deal, given Posthumans and Dasyus, especially since ALEPH/OSS is so strong....
In Onyx, my line troopers don't even have combis (barring the K1 combi). But you just proved my point - the 5 point discount for an SMG vs. a...
Well, shit. Can't say I imagined Instagram being relevant like that XD
Where'd CB say this?
Are we 100% sure that shotguns will work differently in N4? And, more importantly, what about Plasma?
Irrelevant to my point. The point is that the SMG is disproportionately effective against a wide variety of targets compared to the combi rifle,...
It's not hard to get behind someone if you're TO camo, and then if they change facing you can hit them with something else from the front. The...
I'm well aware of the dynamics involved in that, and the difference is more like 50%, and will only increase with the changes to crits in N4. It...
And then it's a great weapon, because it's got free shock ammo and you paid less for it than a combi. I've taken out a Szalamandra with my KHD...
No, because we're talking about the HSG version, not the Chain Rifle version. I've had utility with the HSG Devil Dog in limited insertion...
The change to Total Immunity was a bad idea. They should have changed it to "Lethal Immunity" instead if they didn't like what the name implied...
Or, you know, the Stun (used to be flash) grenades that Loup-Garous carry that explicitly are meant to be used suppressing Dogface riots... but...
I dunno what other defensive game you think people are supposed to play against things like warbands.
I keep forgetting Kerr-Nau. When Onyx finally got its spec ops it was everything I was hoping for.
I hope not. The immunity to nonlethal weapons is unfluffy, unfun, and overpowered. He needs his vulnerability to flash pulses back, tbh. I...
Jaguars too, but yeah. I don't think CB's shown any signs of stopping gaming their own points system. I think Total Immunity needs to be...
Sure, that'd be nice. CB seems to like their points-efficient warbands, though, and a lot of players do too. McMurrough's an extreme example.
