Need help

I know that feel.

I love the rock raiders' minifigure bodies for lego oper8rs. I turned that flyer into a gunship/troop carrier.

>Relying on a slow moving, over costed, robot when you could use pic related.
Sure.

Serious the Sedrick formation is so broken. Its damn cheap, fast, and breaky it makes even Rock Raiders look meek.

Fucking Exo-Lord players, go back to Bionicle, you cucks. I am so fucking sick of their big stompy mechs, and shit. Who the fuck gave them so many dam heavy weapons while also making them so fucking fast? Even their Infantry weapons are BS. fuck your golden Katanas.

Y'know, I don't care if the rules haven't been updated in almost a decade. My Ice Planet shit still freezes out the exo-kiddies at my LLS.

I have no problems fielding ONE heavy hitting crawler, since the rest of my Army is going to be dancing and shitting all over yours. I mean, sure, your knights are good if they get up close, since they have the blessing of the Triangular lady, but that's why 90% of my army is equipped with thrusters, or are fliers.

Dude they have no buildings beside that one fortification. Plus all their units suffer from size.
They're not that bad.
Just bring pic related and they are toast. The trap mechanics are Exo-lords biggest weakness.

Jesus christ, there are still Time Cruiser players?

How the hell do you have a faction consisting of like, 3 vehicles, 2 heros, 1 villain, 1 minion and a really, really shitty fortification?

Yeah but how do you handle pic related.
A wizard + Dragon combo will be fast and super breaky. The only counter to dragons + Wizards are walls and large numbers of elite ground troops.

Nigga, you say that shit is like ONE fortification, when that ONE fortification is fuck huge. I mean, you do have to field it ALL as one, so it eats points like a mother fucker, but that shit includes:
>Gate Assault
>Sentai HQ
>Golden Tower

Not to mention bullshit like the devastator tank, which not only barfs out ranged infantry drones, but than shits all over light and medium infantry with gatling guns and disk launchers. Its bullshit, man.

But it's too expensive.
Rock Raiders will tear down the walls.
Knights will turtle and kill anything you send there way with Knights.
Johnny Thunder and Alpha Team have enough gimmicks to find a work around.
Ice Planets would have a hard time as would Aqua Raiders, but they always ally with Rock Raiders.

>He doesn't know about the Exo-Force unit SPECIFICALLY designed to shit all over flying units.

Top kek friendo. Let's see your Dragon doing anything while its tied down, and seeker missiles are being rammed up your wizards ass.

Face it m8, Exo-Force is, was, and always will be, the best faction in the game. Period.0

In return for putting up with my BS, have a link to the Set catalog. Feel free to counter my shit as you like.

Haha nerds. Do none of you run a classic space army? There laser weapons are so OP and plus the missle launcher can take out troops half the battle field away.

>using knights
>not using the Omnissiahs blessed machines

Filthy meatbag

>These fuckers don't know about how broken Time Cruisers are

Alright Chuckle fuckers, sit down and listen up, cause' your about to hear why I don't shed a single tear for you Time Cruiser faggots. Let me sum it up in one phrase:
Paradox

Time Cruisers were such fucking bullshit
>It didn't matter that you only had 4 infantry/hero's, since Paradox let you have as many as you fucking wanted, to represent them teaming up across time
>It didn't matter what armor save you had, since they could bypass it by attacking you backwards in time
>They could RE-TAKE THEIR WHOLE FUCKING turn, if they didn't like how things were going
>They move units back and forth across the table, by "rewinding" shit
>They fucking dash forward by "Speeding up" time
>When ever you tried to break down that mother fucking time lab of theirs, they could just rebuild it the next fucking turn, plus it let them spawn in more Heros
>FUCKING MONKEY SPAM BULLSHIT
>Every unit has counts as flying, due to time wimey bullshit
>They could litterally AGE your shit mid-game, making your units use old crappy weapons, while they get to "Steal" the good ones from the future. Try killing the bastards when they've got Storm-trooper cap guns, and you have FUCKING MUSKETS
>Meanwhile, they fucking shat all over your tanks, because they replaced their tracks with wheels, while they fly about in their Flying ship

And OF FUCKING COURSE, they get a fucking expansion through the Doctor Who faction, since he can be taken as a hero in any Time Cruisers army.

What absolute bullshit, you fuckers.

Also you forgot about the Wizard friendo!
Everyone forgets about the Wizard! Your missiles will do nothing while he's in the castle and he can cast buff spells for days! Days!
A Magic buffed Dragon would pass entrapment test easy. Plus the fun part of the dragon is its stupid cheap. I still have points for catapults.

Its nothing against Exo's their a great faction but Lego just gives Medieval more support than anyone else. Medieval has a solution to everything and always has some new castle or catapult thats cheaper and stronger than the last. It really hurts the meta honestly.

But you beat me most days. I can only run so many mutant fish to deal with your big mechs.

the martian ships are busted af, for their points they're twice as good as they should be

Mostly for fun, really. And sometimes breaking out the old 'Time Warp' meta that was never really nerfed or removed from the game against kids who have no idea how that worked and gawk at me killing their heroes grandfather before he was born, or attacking them with their own units.
Pretty fun.

This guy remembers! Good times.

>Always huge into mecha since I was a little kid
>Also way into Lego
>always tried making shitty lego robots
Little me would have fucking jizzed himself over Exo Force, but I was 22 when they came out.

>Exo-fags will try to argue their army is better than Star Wars
Your animu mecha aint shit

Oh gods not this again.
Even ThunderFags have more originality than StarFags.

Fuck off, starfag. You're cancer.

Star wars is BS every fucking year they get another codex with more goodies every time

Has anyone tried out the Space Marines addition to the Classic Space faction? I've been running a pretty standard list with some rovers and ships and was wondering if the Space Marines are worth their points cost vs. regular spacemen.

True, they've needed a good old nerfing for a while. Just bump point cost up and things get better.

>Forgetting the entire supplement dedicated to fucking with Time Crusiers.
>Forgetting Time Freeze Orbs
>Forgetting how the whole meta shifted to deal with the the Fucking Robo Scorpion.
Bring your Crusiers. I fucking dare you.

Nah mate, that award clearly go's to fucking Space. I mean shit, even Medieval only has 281 kits. But space? They have like 340. Plus, they have like six different armies, since they throw ALL that shit togther. I mean, come on, they get:
>Codex: Space
>Codex: Ice Planet
>Codex: Life on Mars
>Codex: Mission Mars
>Codex: Blacktron
>Codex: M-Tron
>Codex: Crater Raiders
>Codex: Space Police
>Codex: Insectoids
>Codex: Spyrius
>Codex: Explorians
>Codex: UFO's
>Codex: Futuron
>Codex: Alien Conquest
>Codex: Unitron
>Codex: Galaxy Squad

I only ever use them when I upgrade the blaster to a turbo. It's semi-expensive and only worth using on 3-4 out of a squad but the sheer firepower is truely something

I have no idea, are you guys just memeing or is there actually a way to play a tabletop strategy game with these guys?

I just processed that Lego is a traditional game.

Look, this is really a big mindfuck for me. Give me a sec.

You're all just mad because you know your factions are all trash-tier in comparison to the glory that is Star Wars.

>Lasers
It's all about the thermal rays, friend. Burn 'em for extra damage or freeze 'em to lock them down. And no one but NO ONE has better melee than these boys.

>The set released JUST so that Alpha Team fanboys would stop bitching and moaning about how badly they were getting beaten.
Seriously, it takes a whole HQ to beat Time Cruisers, plus there's a 50% chance those Time Freeze Orbs blow up in your face. Time Cruisers will stomp any list that doesn't specifically build to counter it.

We're memezing
There is a lego wargame called brikwars

The second edition of Codex Blacktron was completely different from the first, so it should count separately.

>Playing Brickopcalypse
I shiggy this diggy

>And no one but NO ONE has better melee than these boys.
I beg to differ.

For every jedi master you buy they can buy 5 melee troopers which can just swarm your pathetic jedi "masters"

>Tfw you are too intelligent to play lesser factions
>Tfw there is only one faction that fits your playstyle
>Codex: Technic
Bow to your gods, puny mortals. I have already programmed the next 12 games, you fools.

Have fun paying $500 for a 500 pt model.

Without psionics in the mix a Heatsaw Champion will chump any melee unit in the SW codex, generally without taking a wound in return. It's those broken powers that make SW characters stand out.

Now, i am become death.
Destroyer of worlds.

Sure, the Base model is 500pts, but by god, the bits! And that's not even counting the upgrades that mother fucker has! I've seen solo-technic models single handedly wipe out entire armies. Plus, your discounting shit like the Giant kit and the Cyber games kits, which really helps fill out the blanks in the army. This isn't even going into the Slizer line, which is like Bionicles, but in Lego.

Looking over the older lines, I have always felt the Ice Planet line looked cool and wanted to try to put together a army for them, but things like not being updated to the latest edition and not having any of the newer types of units always made me hesitant to try to seek out some of their sets. Should I try to find them anyways?
Looking over their unit list, I though all their units look merely decent, but looking over their gear list am I reading this right? They have some really good weapons (Basic units getting melee weapons with multi-hit and free damage rerolls?)

>claims star wars is good
>posts the vehicle/weapon hybrid that sees nearly no competitive play because of its absurdly high cost

Just about every single Ice Planet player I've met is a bro
>always somehow manages to carry the team
>brings plenty of support units
>always friendly no matter what
>orange transparent chainsaws

What is Veeky Forums's thoughts on the spiritual successor sets in the City line?

Did anyone ever play Nazis? I know they got a pretty limited run and the codex is no longer supported but there's something novel about taking an army of Nazi's and having them fight mechas and spacemen and Aqua Raiders.

Well, duh dude. In a meta filled with cheesy tilting army comps, Ice Planet smashed the Meta by simply at being so good, yet being so simple. Their Sub-Arctic ice rule helped shut down a lot of BS Time Cruiser/Medieval BS, Their vehicles were fast, yet durable, and their Melee put an end to the Space domination.

They never need an update, since they are so fucking (frozeen) Solid as a army.

Can someone archive this thread pl0x?

It hurts, but in a good way. If you play them, I salute you and I am glad you read the old fluff.

I have a small army of them; The lack of any actual tanks mean't you REALLY had to spam the Blitzkrieg rule hard core. I mean, they had a lot of high lethality, high out put weaponry, and some of the WunderWeapons you can get are really good. But like I said, Nazi lists always had a lot of Bikers, Cars and Aircraft.

Nigga, we haven't even reached the post limit; Wait a bit before trying to start the next general.

nah, they just seem so outclassed that even playing Avengers is more appealing

beyond the laughs I just don't think that price is worth it either, maybe if they were reprinted, but that'll never happen

Anyone still run bionicles? I used to field them as a suppliment for my roboriders and throwbots but they fell out of competitive play the edition after they were introduced.

Does anyone still play M-Tron? IMO There vehicles are kinda op as they can move about half the battlefield most times.

>Bionicles
We don't talk about the Spinoff, Age of Bionicles. Go start a new thread or GTFO.

>at my local LEGO store, hoping to find some pickup games
>there's another guy who wants to play there, fantastic
>we go to the table and start setting up terrain.
>I get my 1000 pt Power Miners army out of my bag
>the guy pulls pic related out of his bag
>have to make up an excuse to leave immediately
There are some factions that should never be played.

I had a 2000 point Bohrok army for Age of Bionicle for awhile, but I stopped playing when they released Codex: Piraka. Zahmor Sphere Launchers are the cancer that killed the game.

Man, sometimes when I see sets like this I wounder the what the hell they where thinking when they where making them.

>that one creepy guy at my LGS who smells like oysters and always insists on using his FRIENDS army
waifufags, I swear

Here I was thinking the SWfags were the worst

i'm holding off for 3rd edition.

Anybody have any tips playing as pic related? I've got this and the air temple expansion, but I just can't get them to go off. Lost last week to a Znapfag at my LGS and cant bear to show my face again until I figure them out.

You made a bad investment dude, Avatar is widely regarded as the worst army in the game. If you want to play a Nickelodeon faction you're better off playing Spongebob.

could someone please explain why THIS fucker is a 1000 points on his own?

There troops are VERY specialist heavy, You need to have a couple of expendable dudes to actually have a fighting chance. (Note that I think you can take a couple of black knights as allies) I would recommend only playing with other players on your side.

>he doesn't know about the Quiklich

Call me a sell out, but I have to admit: I love my CIS army. They just seem to have a little bit of everything I love, all wrapped into BB unit:

>Expendable line troops
Battle Droids
>Heavy Infantry
Droideka's, Super Battle Droids, Commando Droids
>Transports
MTT, Droid Carrier
>Anti-Tank
Spider Droid, Weapon emplacements, Homing Spider Droid
>Heavy Support
Tank Droid, Hailfire Tank Droid, AAT's, Umbaran Mobile Heavy Cannons
>Air Superiority
Vulture Droids, Droid Gunships, Magnaguard Starfighter, Tri-Fighter Droids, Hyena Bomber Droids
>Dreadnought Ship
The fucking MALEVOLENCE

Seriously, it was kick ass.

>All these minifig fags here
You may not like it, but this is what the ideal minifig looks like. Just bought the Lynchin' Pete and Two-guns Malone kit, added to my Redskin tribe abd went 4-0-0 on Saturday against 2 exo-meme armies, one Galidor glinch spam, and a Basketball dunk-tech mess. Feels good, man.

Who would want to play an army of "space marines"? That sounds fucking awful.

He gets a bunch of bullshit powers and can be taken in any army as a mercenary.

Nesquick is the only hero that EVERY army can take. While he isnt powerful on his own he can provide very op buffs to anybody on your side. Plus if you take the expendable fans as an upgrade then he can have a couple of mooks who can charge againist any enemy and force them in CC which is helpful againist range focused armys

I'm an Empire guy myself, but it's good to see another Star Wars player here. Everyone is hating on us because they know their own armies can't even compare.

Everyone hates you since you guys constantly get more vehicle,troop, and hero choices and while we have to wait a couple of years to get another codex you guys get one every year.

Don't listen to these mother fuckers; they are simply too WEAK to follow you!

Fire Nation is a bad faction, they say?

WELL THAT CHANGED WHEN THE FIRE NATION INVADED

Get 3 Fire Nation Iron Clads
Take Prince Zuko, stick him on the command ledge
Load up each Iron Clad with 20 Fire benders
Proceed to plow down the field, burning the fuck out of everything with your d6 attacks PER model.

Remember, the Iron Clad is a pretty durable vehicle on its own, but the fact that embarked units can still attack AND it can ram into fortifications makes it utterly broken.

Or, be a cheesy faggo and take 3 Avatar State Aangs. If you do this, be careful: If one dies, it turns into Korra And kills off the rest of the avatars :^)

>Who would want to play an army of "space marines"? That sounds fucking awful.
You don't. You take them as an elite troop choice in a couple of the space armies. They're best in classic space, as that army was lacking a good elite choice before the Space Marines release.

>Two-guns Malone
> Shoot two niggas once
>Shoot one nigga twice
What was LW thinking? The shooting round was hellish enough until that guy showed up. Shows how much LW cares about playability.

aaayyyyyyyyy lmao

Most AA guns or fighters can take out fire clads very fucking easily dude. If your opponent has any AA at all then your ironclads are fucking dead.

those were the good old days, when droids weren't completely BTFO by the forced Ninjago BS
so many people played droids because of how easy it was to do on a budget, I wish Lego would make more battle sets like they used to, they were so good for serious and casual players

Technic Fag here; Color me unimpressed.

>Basketball dunk-tech mess
Jesus, people still play that meme faction?

Honestly, I just bought them for the sweet Momo synergies, but I had no idea that the catapults on the Ironclads had such shit range and damage. Reminds me of the shitstorm that was the Belleville Carriage debacle.

He-Man legos???

Okay, lets be clear here: I'm REALLY getting worried about pic related. LW is really hyping this shit up here, and I /THINK/, and I am really going out on a limb here, but I REALLY THINK They are going to move the setting along.

I know, I know, its a play kit, not a toy box, but seriously, think about it. They are hyping this shit so much! And than they throw in this guy? Who the fuck is he?

Also, HOLY FUCK, have you seen this asshole's stat card? What the fuck does "Master Builder" mean? What the fuck is "The Special"?

I know a guy who still has a full NHL defensive lineup. Shit's sad, yo.

It's me

>What the fuck does "Master Builder" mean? What the fuck is "The Special"?
It's all going to be unplayable gimmick nonsense restricted to casual play, I guarantee it.

All Lynchin' Pete sees when he looks at those fuckers is an easily removable neck joint. Go back to your Cyber Slam hugbox.

>all these SW fags who cling to their old, useless faction

should've sold them off and bought into the Space Police back when they dropped

It's lego's Jace, a shitty face for a shitty product. I'm glad I'm not a lorefag

I mean, yeah, your right. I won't deny it, Fire Nation is a really shit faction. But, they can pull off some wins if they really get lucky, and get the ball rolling. Due to the FAQ manual, if any two fortifications from two separate factions collide, the one being moved into is damaged.

This is actually a HUGE buff to the Fire Clads, because they are one of the few "Vehicle fortifications" In the game, and not a Dreadnought, it means they still count as a moving fortification.

Also, I've seen some builds where Aang and Katara are thrown in, and I think they might actually help quite a bit. Katara adds 1d12 inch movement to all watercraft she boards, and Aang gives any vehicle he enters a 5++ save. Not amazing, I know, and its expensive as fuck, but it can still work occasionally.
