Xth for ramming Ork ships with your convoy transports and causing them to warp out
I still lost the match but it was worth it to see that giant Ork cruiser chased off by the little transport who could
Michael Reed
Well too bad, they got announced.
Though it's probably atleast 3 months off.
Samuel Morgan
Really, mate.
William Cox
space marines soon?
Easton Cox
yes

Blake Cook

I love how people respond to orks.
Charles Gray
Does Goff favour work on boarding torpedoes and assault boats? Is ordnance bay spam boarding ork viable?
Jaxon James
There was some youtube video where dude won the battle by ramming an enemy ship with one of his transports.
Daniel Thomas
Literally only regular boarding actions. Assault action related favors are pretty mediocre like that.
Landon Rivera
>Is ordnance bay spam boarding ork viable? It's not good, it doesn't work every match since rng, some build will shit on you I'm looking at you mono nurgle with triple crew upgrade. But there's high chance the first ship you see will end up fucking useless. Also I'd go bad moon or blood axe for it.
Gabriel Sanchez
As my IN fleet has now universally hit level 10, what fleet should I try next?
Panzies, Orkz, or spikies?
Michael Roberts
Orkz
Ayden Cooper
Orks, they are great fun, though be prepared to hate panzies even more.
Jason Ramirez
Orkz it is.
Given my IN shipz were all named after cocks, I think my naming convention for the Orkz shall be old British metal bands.
Oliver Sanders
Are you this user?
Anthony Richardson
...yes
Carson Wilson
Isn't the Imperial Navy supposed to be green and white? Why is the default color scheme...grayish? And then...why the fuck is Imperial Navy favor PURPLE AND AND GOLD?
Ethan Lee
I'm still very fond of the "Purest of Motives" as in the context of the rest of them, it just somehow sounds filthy.
Isaiah Green
...Maybe they forgot?
Aaron Smith
why do my tyrant and lunar lose a brawl to a dauntless and a mars
Hunter Price
Maybe you keep turning them so they can't broadside but can be broadsided?
Jack Foster
Are you ramming and torping enough?
Isaac Long
Git gud
Nicholas Gomez
The default scheme is green and white. It's just pretty drab compared to tabletop colors. The lighting is also colored so shit always looks off-palette, for example tzeetch ships look purple, but are actually blue.
Camden Howard
...
John Wilson
I missed the Ork dickwaving last thread.
Jaxson Brooks
What are your relative upgrades? Behaviors? Ranges? Are you using abilities effectively? Melta torps > regular torps.
Jeremiah Thomas
I'm liking your build there.
Parker Allen
You'z still in toime!
Owen Gutierrez
this is my lineup setting both to 3k broadside engaging, using meltatorps if they're not burning but i never manage to ram anyone
Hunter Reed
Ah, i see your problem user, your ship is dead.
John Gonzalez
that happens every 2 turns
Bentley Martinez
>just got my car inspected >they had to tear off my rear window decal rip
Jose Johnson
Oh, so that's why its called "Unmoving".
Kevin Peterson
Why did they do that? ARE THEY FILTHY HERETICS?
Sebastian Myers
Is the "Heirless Throne" Achievement only awarded if YOU kill the Eldar? Because that dumb space gay nigger put his ship into abaddon's death ray like a goddamned idiot, and I do not have it.
John Kelly
...
Daniel Collins
I'm surprised you didn't get told to remove it in case anyone thought it was offensive
Adrian Reyes
PA is full of heresy when it comes to vehicles >no window tinting on cars >it's perfectly fine to have a decal on the back window of pick up trucks though!
Matthew Brown
Shit sucks.
But completely unrelated. Why the fuck do you Americans still have that many electric poles and lines hanging around. Literally 3rd world tier shit.
William Sanders
Because America is a big place and not every little town of 500 people can afford such things. Our government funds go into military, not wires.
Ryder Gray
Because to change it all, we'd have to go dark while everything gets changed over.
Also, who's the #1 country in the world? That's right, shut the fuck up you stupid jealous sand nigger or possibly britbong.
Adam Watson
Figure out which one is the liberal and which one is the conservative
Mason Cruz
Damn, that's cool.
Parker Hall
Yes. Tell the Eldar to fuck off each time they ask you and you will eventually fight and kill them.
Nicholas Robinson
Brit here, but I imagine they keep their shit cabling for the same reason corporate IT is often rickety as fuck; changing it is expensive, changing it causes downtime, it works if no one touches it so don't touch it.
Alexander Walker
So you get two achievements for removing Eldar? The Ordo Xenos and that one? It's their game I guess. Also, the game gave me the "no-mesis" before the Eternity of Pain showed up.
Jeremiah Thompson
...
Sebastian Smith
B-but why. You can't just let them deface the Emperor's glory
Anthony Gomez
>So you get two achievements for removing Eldar? >The Ordo Xenos and that one? It's their game I guess. Yes. >Also, the game gave me the "no-mesis" before the Eternity of Pain showed up. For some reason killing three nemesises (the order in which they appear is randomized) is enough to earn that one.
Ethan Morales
apparently, the remove all nemesis is unlocked yif you killed all of those who apperad in chapter 3 basically, before the black Crusade proper. or it was before the 5th chapter, do'nt remember.
Concerning the two eldars successes, one is dedicated to the fact you managed to kill Eldrathain himself.
James Davis
I support Trump and I'm the one that didn't say nigger.
Xavier Anderson
See but also, America is Big. Much less concentrated population than Europe. And sure, the telephone poles and whatnot may be kinda gauche, but they're much cheaper than underground wire. Very dense and wealthy urban areas will have underground wire, but the vast majority of the country (especially where it gets really sparsely populated) will be using aboveground stuff.
Jace Howard
Question about Melta Torps: do they start a separate fire for each hit or what?
Because when I use them I never notice the enemy catching on fire more than once despite an entire barrage of six hitting them, which makes it feel like I'm wasting a lot of damage by using Melta over regular.
Adam Edwards
IN Favor colors are blue and gold, not purple.
Caleb Sullivan
They aren't armor piercing (for some reason) but yes, they start multiple fires. Up to four.
Brayden Martin
So insecure about power lines, hehehe. But seriously, you can dig those lines underground and then switch when the underground gable is ready. Switching from poles to underground doesn't take long and the dark period is about 10-30 mins. Also underground lines are much safer than poles.
Then on BFG, what is your favourite overachiever in TT or in video game? For me it was one armed transport in TT. That transport managed to destroy damaged Murder and one Iconoclast before running away.
Easton Howard
Vs bombardment ships and carriers you need to get close and keep side-on to them. Set the target on their ship to generator or weapons. Try to stay close enough to let AP shells work.
Get AP shells.
Christopher Garcia
Looks more purple to me.
Kevin Campbell
Each hit has a chance of causing a fire. They're actually not very effective because they will both get shot down by point defense and have no armor pen, plus orks and IN give zero fucks about fire unless there's a several of them.
They do good against chaos though.
Julian Miller
Other people have mentioned, but a few other things:
America is south of most of Europe. Paris, for example, is 8 degrees north of Banglor, Maine. Buried wires are cheaper if you get enough winter weather to damage them otherwise. Such winters are rare in the US.
America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires.
Hudson Richardson
This is the lighting, like another user said.
Carter Butler
It's really blue though. There isn't anywhere near enough red in that to make me think purple.
Gavin Hall
>America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires. Fuck...
Caleb Harris
Im still thinking that it's either very dark blue or just and just violet.
Nathan Reed
But spending public money to improve infrastructure and develop the nation sounds a lot like what the people on TV say is communism.
The only lawful, capitalisr use of tax money is defense procurement and massive subsidies for companies.
Jordan Ramirez
>America isn't full of retards that will try to steal power from suspended wires, or try to steal wires. ...Europoors actually do this?
Gabriel Torres
oh man that pulsar range nerf really made eldar more fair to play against!
i'll just continue instantly capitulating every game the enemy has an eldar
Connor Moore
Yeah, especially ex-soviet states people will cut down power lines and sell them as scrap.
Cooper Barnes
Blame the migrants.
Thomas Gonzalez
They haven't done anything yet you stupid autistic shit.
Leo Miller
Copper is a quite valuable metal. There are organised gangs (as in, the actual mafia in some places) who rove around stealing it and selling it.
Jeremiah Garcia
Best Ork favour for light kruisers?
Jordan Morgan
There hasnt been a patch yet retard.
Owen Lewis
I stick Bad Moonz on them for all dem shok-attaky actions.
Jonathan Lee
Send help
Evan Reed
Evil Sunz on everything. Blood Axe is okay for 1v1 nova spam, but Traktor ramming fleets are better for general purpose.
Samuel Jenkins
Evil Sunz or Goffs.
Aiden Scott
>single assault action >no auto crit >minimum range >limited fire arc Uhh...
Blake Davis
The other factor is that in underfunded or sparsely populated areas benefit from having hanging cables because you don't need to dig them up to replace them. That makes them quicker and cheaper to replace and so they're more likely to be replaced than just left broken.
Easton Jenkins
>eldar gits dive into range >eldar gits run away It only takes one lucky strike to nail their engines, user.
Brayden Richardson
Go fast, ya grot.
Carson Carter
Evil Sunz it is.
Justin Nguyen
>always played Corsairs on the tabletop >decide to try to main them in the vidya >always lose
I think im shit when it comes to microing
Jackson Flores
Ah, right. America has metal scavengers too, but they mostly hit the abandoned houses and industrial facilities that became super common after the financial crash in '07.
Isaiah Barnes
>queue up >pick random ork ships with torpedoes >if enemy has eldar i capitulate >if my teammate is eldar i ram him and shoot torpedoes in his ass
having more fun than actually playing the game this way
Gavin Wright
Lucky is the operative word here. Every one of your strikes may fail and even if they're successful it's more likely not to disable their engines than it is to disable them and it does nothing at at to affect their movement.
Thomas Smith
>Eldar git dive into range >Taunt them >40 assault and a ram later it disengage because it doesn't have weapon anymore Sometimes boarding spam make me scared.
Andrew Phillips
>Ork Admiral Name Danald Krump >Battle saying BUILD DA WALL.
Approve?
Brody Perez
I once won against two Ork cruisers with one crited Eldar cruiser, some web-way fuckery and shit ton of torpedos.
Leo Sanders
Yes
David Bell
Anyone else is a little disappointed at the minimal line-up of Eldar crafts past light-cruiser?
Jace Clark
>being an asshole to your teammate because they want to play a faction
why?
Adrian Ramirez
how do i git gud as eldar?
they fit how i want to play, i just cant pull it off well enough
Jonathan Rogers
How is life treating you, Alphie?
Benjamin Roberts
he already is the major asshole by playing eldar i'm just trying to even the odds a little
