Fucker should've used Samurai instead. As all good reconquestors know, the best way to not get btfo in CQB is to not get into CQB in the first place.

So I've been working on my dropfleet stuff, and letting my dropzone stuff build up; I didn't realise how much of a backlog I've got until I put it together just now...
Kayden Evans
Gonna get into DZC Scourge stuff. Any tips on things to get? How are Screamers? They seem so different to any other units it's a little hard to comprehend how they're meant to be used.
Kayden Gomez
personally I don't play scourge, but Iirc people generally agree that the tormenter is, generally, not a competitive option, same goes for their corsairs.
Luis Clark
I hate fighting Screamers. Everyone hates to fight Destroyers but they're an exotic choice and that means filling out an Occupation Patrol scourge troopslot.
Gavin Rivera
survive thread!
Jason Martin
I think screamers are cool, but you don't really need them. You have your searching troops and then units like destroyers, to fight CQBs. If you need to. With them I can do multiple role, where the screamer just really fills one.
Gabriel Edwards
Any info on how many pieces the advanced sector pack contains? It's sensors/power plant/laser from what I recall, but any word on how many of each?
John Stewart

With the quality of Scourge scouts that doesn't seem like a big problem. It's not like UCM where the only scout you'll ever need is in a support slot.

Ian Roberts
I've noticed similar things with my PHR for the Hyperion laser and supernova laser as well as the railguns with heavy broadsides. I like seeing the designs carry through.
Ryan Cook
God corsairs are shit.
Why can't their accuracy just be improved one step? It would be a huge fix.
Tormentors aren't so bad. They're still not great, but the biggest reason they aren't picked is that people don't recognize the value of area denial, assuming a unit that doesn't get to shoot is worthless.
Bentley Thompson
Tormentors just don't offer that much to the faction, especially nowadays. They're not a bad unit in a vacuum though armour 9 wouldn't go amiss but a flame unit that isn't super speedy and doesn't do anything else can't have that much of a place in the faction with the best CQB in the game. Compare it to Fireblades. Almost the same unit, yet Fireblades are well loved while Tormentors are ignored. That's because UCM takes to CQB like a fish takes to an oil spill, so they need a flame unit to offset that. Whereas Scourge can just shoot a few Razorworms through a wall and fly in some Destroyers/Eviscerators.
But you can't have a discussion about shitty Scourge units without Vampires and Invaders. Old Ones can come too.

>somebody selling "1 - 2 of everything" for Dropzone PHR including books and gear for $110 on eBay I'd buy it in a heartbeat if literally anyone else played DZC around here
Damn that is one slick paint job. I love the little vents on the Scylla.
Isaac Rivera
Does anyone have suggestions for setting up a DZC demonstration game? I've got sufficient PHR, Shaltari, and UCM to host something, but I feel like the base starter scenario is a bit too limited on battlegroup variety.
Adrian Campbell
I'd say bring the starter set then an equally priced 'big' unit to show differences between the factions. A Hades for PHR, perhaps a unit of heavy tanks in an albatross for the UCM, a big swarm of prowlers for Scourge, and a warstrider of your choice for Shaltari. Something to let each faction's different tastes show through. I definitely wouldn't bring command cards, just a suggestion.
Connor Evans
You guys have such great stuff I am peanut butter and jelly.
Time to buy some n-scale stuff to make my board look better.

I shall bump this thread by harnessing the pure rage of a true UCM Legionnaire.
Sure, $1100 sounds like a lot, but the listing offers you financing for an easy monthly payment of $52/mo! You'd be crazy not to jump on that deal!
All that and I don't even think it's one New Orleans worth of soldiers.
Parker Baker
I assume he got a lot for real cheap, or otherwise he's actually an insane person. 6 Seraphim and 42 Legionnaire bases is more than anyone needs.
Grayson Reyes
I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation but it's funnier to imagine someone throwing down four figures on every possible component for a game with no rhyme or reason and then never bothering to touch it again.
Grayson Martinez
be the change you want to be. consider picking up two different boxes and introduce people to the game, talk to your store owner. I mean it could back fire, but it's better than nothing.
Isaiah Bennett
A store near me (well, in my country) had a similiar list of stuff when they went out of business. Got some cheap Falcon-As and Legionnaires that way.
Austin Campbell
Are either of the Menchits useful for anything these days? Those spud rockets have got me curious.
Jordan Morris
A1 is still fucking terrible.
A2 is good. You can get away with being a slow flame unit when you double as an AT shitkicker and aren't stuck in a squad with long range units. They're perfect for going after big multi-wound things like Shaltari heavies and Resistance hovercraft.
Logan Baker
Looking at UCM, PHR, and Shaltari, I have:
Kodiak in a Condor with Missiles 3x Sabres in a Condor with Missiles 3x Rapiers in a Condor with Missiles 2x3 bases of Legionnaires in 2x Bears in a Condor
2x Ares in a Neptune 2x Phobos in a Neptune 2x Immortals in 2x Triton A1s Hades
Would the Tritons or added "cool" models skew things particularly hard in one faction's favor?
Ayden Moore
Triton's aren't all that great to begin with so...
Gavin James
Last I heard they were a lot better than Junos.
Wyatt Phillips
That UCM is a bit shit desu. Kodiak doesn't need transport and is pretty useless without spotters anyway, and Bears are a generally poor choice unless you're using heavy weapons teams. Raven-As would be a good investment, and perhaps some Wolverines and Raven-Bs to spot for the Kodiak as well.
PHR on the other hand has Tritons and a Hades. Light dropships are just plain better than APCs, so that's a definite advantage they have over UCM (Havens are a bit of a weird outlier with their Shaltari warp fuckery, so they should be fine). I'm not sure either rival faction really has the tools to deal with a Hades, especially a walk on Hades. At 900pts with a more concrete force, sure. But not at 700 with forces focused around the starter. And the big guy is going to be mostly demo and area denial anyway, since he wasn't designed as a walk on unit. Consider replacing it with Zeus+Odin in a Neptune.
You nailed it with Shaltari imo. Gharial is a solid centerpiece that is very powerful and flashy, but can still be effectively engaged by Sabres and Ares.
Maybe try: >Kodiak >4x Wolverine B in 2x Raven B with missiles >3x Sabre in a Condor >3x Rapier in a Condor >4x Legionnaire bases in 2x Raven A
>Zeus+Odin in a Neptune >2x Ares in a Neptune >2x Phobos in a Neptune >4x Immortal bases in 2x Triton A1
We'll see in a week or so when I get it how it is. There were positive comments on the Facebook Dropfleet group about them, so for only $25 I'm sure it'll be a worthwhile upgrade from the paper mats in the starter box.

Doesn't matter; all ships of the same type in a BG form a single group; outlier still has to maintain group coherency.
Logan Ortiz
I'm not sure I like the breakaway from the Shaltari tripod aesthetic (since Scourge are mostly 4-legged and PHR are mostly 2-legged to differentiate the faction's walkers), and the fact that the gauss cannons blinker the pilot's sensor clusters really bothers me. Chalk this one up to upstart tribes who cannot into practical engineering, I guess.
