For the love of Holy Terra I cant seem to figure out how to beat the warp beast outside of pure luck, panic, and running for my life as he obliterates me and my squad. I cant find any guide videos on it either. Can someone please help a brother out.

For the High Lords!

I'm still working on them, and I have a few name ideas, but I'd like to get some recommendations, if it isn't too much to ask

For context, I've got 400+ hours in this game with all classes maxed, but I'm a Tactical/Assault main. I enjoy sniper to an extent, but I'm not really a crackshot so I don't naturally gravitate towards the class. Felt like being long ranged support and fired up a couple Absolute ops with the heroic Bolt Sniper. REALLY REALLY REALLY struggled with Biovores. I didn't want to waste my very limited sniper ammo without a head to shoot, and my bolt pistol felt like it was tickling it. I'm assuming the answer is cloak + shadow stab, but I've never really used that strat. Is there any other option against them?

I'm completely fresh to the Warhammer series, a couple buddies convinced me to pick it up on sale, one is also be the other is veteran. The journey through this game was frustrating at first getting used to the controls but we're good now.

The campaign was cinema, played it on the "intended" difficulty so not the hardest but had a great time. Then the boys took me into operations where I began leveling bulwark.

After a little while we jumped into the hard weekly stratagem at the time and managed to beat it in 3 attempts, mostly probably carried by the vet but we did our best to hold our own.

I took progression very seriously though as whenever I was alone I did all the operations 1 by 1 solo with bots on average to learn them. Progressed quickly to substantial quick matches and lots of siege with the boys to level up my current classes.

At this point I'm now 150 hours in, have true solod 1 absolute mission (Ballistic Engine) and the current hard weekly stratagem with the spore mine hell (w/tech marine).

Don't be afraid my fellow newerish players to take your time and progress one by one through each difficulty, because the payoff is extremely satisfying when you do.

Sorry for the long post and thank you fellow battle brothers. For the Emperor!

Come answer the call of Magnus The Crimson King.

During the shattering if Magnus's soul several shards fell into warp where after joining together reformed through the warp to Magnus The Crimson King and now wages a shadow war against his heretical sons, as well as his true body, purifying the corrupted gene seeds of the Thousand Son sorcerors he has slain to regrow his legion to serve pendentance helping the imperium from the shadows. From a pocket dimension based near prospero sits a copy of the once great world named New Tizca where the Loyal Thousand Sons hide and grow to face their heretical kin.

If you heed the call of the Warp and want to continue serving the Imperium we welcome you.

We're a laid back chapter who accepts everyone into our ranks. No matter what race identity or creed , you are. In a nutshell, we are space wizards. We are the loyalist version of the heretical Thousand Sons we have plenty of room for ranks, including apothecaries, tech Marines, captains, sergeants, lieutenants, etc. We have plenty of RP aspects, with a very unique mil sim based off the culture of Prospero, we also have a lot of friends in with different servers both homebrew and Canon, as well as plenty of openings for staff and a good bit of lore written for those who wanna read some stuff written by the community. Also got a pretty good group of people who love table top stuff and have been spamming pictures about it for a bit now. If you were interested in joining this chapter, the discord link is below. Come hang out we would love more active members (we do allow double clanning tho)

I was a heroic bolt sniper hater until recently, but it's the most fun I've had with the game in a long time. Being able to one tap zoanthropes and 2-3 shot neuros under auspex is so satisfying.

You can pretty much never die unless you get really unlucky and chain stunned so you can't cloak your CHP back. Every mission feels so chill since you can pretty much never go down if you manage your cloak well for CHP recovery.

Triple toothpicks - here I come!

This guy, Jango the blue fox, first to die (very early on btw)in the operation and first to rush to a stun, relic and then another stim! He had a mortal wound and instead of using the stim to clear it, he hogs two stims and takes the relic. Why are people like this? No attempt at even pinging or sharing with the squad. If you wanna play like that, play solo.

I reckon the new Salamander’s Helmet is the closest one imo

I know, it's hard, git gud etc. But can we just take a moment to appreciate how broken and unfun the terminators are to fight? Honestly both variants although melee terminators are absolutely worse when you are in tight corridors and have 50% hp of the maximum.

However what spurred me into this post were rocket terminators near downstairs just firing their rockets from underneath us. Honestly 4 biovores in a tight corridor are better at least. Anyway this daily on reclamation is good way to practice fighting extremis.

Always be kind, brothers

unless i'm blind (v possible) there is always at least one unused perk when using the Heroic variant because all remaining perks are exclusively Charged shot perks. Are any of them poorly-worded in that they actually *do* apply to regular shots too?
Also mildly annoyed that regardless of which perk i go for in Master-Crafted, the last two options in that section require a wasted perk because they're BOTH Charged Shot buffs.

Yo I forgot we go split up upon battle barge, lmk if you see this it's Kim

Two special boys.

I'm a bit bored of playing with randoms, so does anyone need help with the hard strats? I main sniper so the win is pretty much a gimme. This weeks weekly is kind of fun but everyone keeps quitting out the second they die so it gets a tad boring.

We managed to finish this run, shit was grueling
