September>December 2024: Nuclear winter has struck, leaving room for the N5

...yes? And it was always like this? "What if I'll face TAGs/HI links/Smoke/Mimetism in bulk/Warbands/large number of Camo/Paras/etc.?" We always had to take into account what opponent might bring to the table and make sure our lists have hard and soft counters. What flyers change is that you might also face a fast TAG with Mim-6, one STR less, lower BS, lighter weapon loadouts, that gets no cover but can't be countered by melee. It's far from not having a counter.

YES

 

Wow they are pumping them out today!

I'd say Budget Ninja! The hacker with d-charges looks awesome to me.

I'm not sure how I feel yet. This might seem like something I need to play to "get it".

But I really like the Feiquan. That E/M Carbine looks sick! It also has Sensor!

 

I dunno, I think the fact that it can fly through Disco Ballers, go straight into the enemy deployment zone, jump straight up, and shoot prone roofers in their uncovered butts makes up for the lack of fancy guns or ammo.

 

And the mobility means it’s going to spend a lot of time in the +3 range on the Spitfire, and hovering up in the air to negate Cover.

 

AP, usually yes, but because is the only option of the troop, not just because it has AP ammo. For MSV, i dont have plenty of them in my armies, and usually are not worth because expensive FT options or is equiped in a suboptimize troop.

It must be great to have options to cover every random posibility you'll face against random people with random lists. I havent. Thats why i always focus my lists in what the mission needs. But i see i am the weird one (well, not only me, also all the guys i play with)

That is like in N3. I dont have anything in my lists that need an Engineer, so why include my shitty, basic engi in the lists if i dont need it? Only to cover if i got hit by EM? I can use his points in more bodies or upgrading another troop in the list.

 

If the Red Eye spec fires the GL, then it's a further -3 to dodge? Dodge -3 and Out of LoS Dodge -3.

 

Isn't doge(-3) means that when the model makes a Dodge roll then the attacker receives a -3 penalty for the FtF? So it isn't penalizes its target's dodge.

 

Dodge (-3) is a modifier to an opposing Face-to-Face roll when you declare Dodge, not when another model declares Dodge against you.

 

I really like the Feiquan, thank you CB.
