List Review
I love the show, listen all the time and would like to submit a list for review (I’ve posted it on the Forums as well, so not sure if that is expected or makes this not viable? I’ve never submitted one for review before for the show… either way, here goes)
1850 – Clan Raukaan, Red Hunters, Inquisition, Fortification
Primary (Clan Raukaan)
Chapter Master – bike, art. armor, gorgon’s chain, axe of medusa, digital weaps. (warlord hoping for a 3 on the trait table for 3+ FnP!)
Scout Squad – 10x bolters
Tactical Squad – 10 man total, plas, combi-plas, rhino
Stormtalon – skyhammers
TFC x2
Inquisition
Coteaz
Fortification
Aegis – quad gun
Allies (Red Hunters)
Captain – bike, artificer armor, power fist, storm shield, combi-grav
Command Squad – bikes, apothecary, 4x grav
Bike Squad – 6 man total, 2x grav, combi-grav, melta bombs
Devastator Squad – 6 man total, 4x lascannon
Overview of Red Hunters Chapter Tactics (Forge World, everyone might not be familiar?):
– Adamantium Will
– Battle Brothers with GK and SoB
– Once per game, activate one of the following special rules for the number of units equal to the turn num (so if it’s turn 3, 3 units can get Skyfire for instance): Skyfire, Tank Hunter, Monster Hunter, Counter Attack, or Hatred.
So the thought is that the chapter master, captain and command squad ride together up the field. The Clan Raukaan Chapter Master tanks wounds, looks out past the first one/two to captain, hopefully gets 3+ FnP from warlord table, regens next wound with IWND, etc. Coteaz and the Red Hunters dev squad setup behind the aegis. I’ll be able to get 4 lascannons to be tank, monster of flier hunters, with divination blessings by using the Chapter Tactics. Also, the versatility of the Red Hunters Chapter Tactics would allow me to give/(also give) these bonuses to the bike squad or command squad, which could be huge on turn 2 or further into the game when fliers arrive…
Thanks for your time,
Austin
Santa Clara? Aww, what happened to oakland? I would have loved to just get off bart and go to the Tournament.
And I would commute, why spend 115 a night when it is a 55 min ride?
Yup, that attitude is exactly what we’re afraid of.
Reece, I love the stuff you guys put on. But that is the problem of having this in a metropolitan and suburban area. vegas was in the middle of a desert with few other cities surrounding it like the BAO. People will drive to things and sleep in their own beds if given the chance. You cant expect people who live so near to spend that much
You can’t expect us to throw an event and lose money, either.
You are correct, I have no rebuttal to that. you asked for opinions on the podcast, I told you mine and what I would most likely do.
I wasn’t attacking you, buddy, and I am glad you were honest. That was just what I was afraid I’d hear.
Why don’t we just have it at your house?
I would be willing to drive down to Santa Clara as long as I’m carpooling and am reimbursed for the gas by my passengers.
It’s beautiful down there, too.
I sense a Ponzi scheme afoot from the FLG guys! Next thing we know it FLG will be closed and Reece and Frankie will flee to a non-extraditional country. The will be sipping pina coladas on a tropical island while showering eachother in GW bits while laughing sinisterly.
Hahaha, he’s on to us! Frankie quick, run!
I will be getting on of the hotel room for the event
Traveling attendees will certainly have to get a room. Thanks for speaking up, Ben!
Almost certainly going to Kingdomcon in April, not so sure about the other Berkeley crew. How are you guys set for that?
Nice! We will be seeing you there! We are flying down, I think.
Can’t make Kingdom Con this year (work won’t let me off). It was a fantastic time last year and I would highly recomment it to anyone.
Too bad you can’t make it, Vince.
I went to Kingdom Con last year and I can agree that it was a good time in a very nice hotel.
Yeah, that is a really fun event!
Can you have both the Chains and Axe on the same char. as they are both relics?
Ooh, good question, I will have to double check. The wording in theirs is different, it doesn’t seem to stop that.
As a fellow man in uniform in the war that is customer service and retail, thank you Reece. Your comments about that guy being an asshole to Frankie had me half cheering as I listened. Retail can be all fun and games until your customers decide you don’t deserve to be treated as a fellow human.
Seriously, I was half tempted to road trip to California just to buy you a beer after that.
nice as always guys _< ALWAYS SHOUT YOURSELVES OUT MY GAAAAAAAAAAAWDDDDDDDDD
Lol! We aren’t pros yet! haha, but yes, thanks for the reminder.
Thinking I’d get a room. Looking forward to the BAO!
So lets see some battle reports with those knight titans!
