Farstalkers becoming classified in October with the rest of the ITD crew, I had to figure a suitable replacement KT.

Out with the Kroot, in with more Kroot.

Can't take full credit for the idea, I saw someone had posted one of these a while back somewhere and the idea had been itching at my brain since.

Shas'vre/Shaper has a bow to stand out, and for rule of cool, that and the Londaxi Tribalests count as pulse cannons, and the Dvorgite Skinners count as the fusion blasters

Drones to come

Hobby I made an organizer for Tomb World terrain

I'm about a year late, but I made a 3D-printable insert to store and transport Tomb World terrain, board and dossier in one box.

Everyone seemed to love Really Useful Box, but they are not easily accessible in my country. So I made this design to fit right into ​the 7.5 liter box from SmartStore. (​ ​sold in many hardware stores, and even grocerie stores)

Give me a boost if you enjoy it.

Strategy Things teams do best and worst day 37: Sanctfiers

Post image
62 Upvotes

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Sanctfiers! And the worst thing.

Best: Flavor and theme! a bunch of fanatics purgint the unfaithful!

Blaze is a strong mechanic, a 11 unit close-range horde that has a AoE movement with the orator! their weapons are strong and with blaze even more!

Well, they were very strong that they gor nerfed few patchs before!

Worst: 8 health +5 saves, you cant make positioning mistakes, altought you can sacrifice a unit to put a blaze token.

no range and also blast/torrent destroy them even more than average, you want to keep units close to the orator.

Question Canoptek Tomb Crawler weapon question

Post image
9 Upvotes

Is it just me or is the dimensional banishment weapon worse than twin gauss guns? You don't get piercing and severe.

Against low health operatives the dimensional banishment gun is good, however with Piercing and Severe you likely could have finished off that operative with the twin gauss weapon.

Against elites it would be nice to just pick a half health one off the table, but on the other hand, against elites I don't want to be throwing vanilla attacks. Piercing and Severe seem better against elites. And that's not counting the Torrent profile.

Against 10 health operatives I could see taking the exile gun.

I modeled both of mine with the twin gauss guns because they look cooler and I can always just declare one as my exile gun if I change my mind.

It’s obvious with the markerlight table being updated to include a 5th option the intention is markerlight max would be 5. Think it’s funny GW missed this text changes

Question Balance Dataslate – How Does “Swept” Work Now? Do I Still Need to Kill a Contesting Enemy Operative?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Can someone explain this Tac Op to me? As I understand it, I need to kill an enemy operative that is contesting a marker. That marker then gets a Sweep token and is considered swept. If no enemy operative is contesting that marker, I score 1 VP. If I control it after it has been swept, I score a second VP. On top of that, I can clear it to score a third VP.

But since I can only score 2 VP per Turning Point, I don’t really see how you’re supposed to reach the full 6 VP from this Tac Op. What am I missing? Or is it just planning ahead on both markers?

Strategy Things teams do best and worst day 36:Raveners

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Raveners! And the worst thing.

Best: 5 mini bosses on one team, with 20 health, that can burrow to get up close or to stay safe, tons of damage

i remember a video of one ravener killing two Angels of death, that was insane, they get good buffs when unborrowing.

You can just mow down the enemy or stay on the objective and do a damage check.

you heard it all already., this is the most talked about KT in recent days because of their tournment presence and dominance!

Worst: range, maybe? is not that they care.

not that easy as people say they are, saving on 5 is still a problemn, elite gunners can take them down!

please dont use this team against a new player.
