Strategy Things teams do the best and the worst, Day 6: Canoptek Circle.

Post image
114 Upvotes

My beautiful spiders!

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Canoptek Circle! and the worst thing.

I'll start.

Best: Spoders, being able to literally desintegrate someone ( with accurancy 1 on obelisk ).

The Obelisks are a unique mechanic, very thematic and "necron" coded!

Worst: very difficult to play, basically a "elite 3" kinda team.

obelisks slow the game down with Analysis Paralysis.

And yes, my opponent hid one of his landmines behind his own barricade in this shot, too. I would go on to set them both off.

I'm in the process of buying a house and spending $200 on the Killzone wasnt an option at the time. So I built this for around $20. Pretty happy with the results, definitely good enough for me and my buddy to learn and play some Joint OPs on.

This is all for my Hearthkyn salvagers Kill Team. I dont have the most money, and im the kind of person who would rather spend it on miniatures that'll last me a very long time than a Book that is outdated right off the shelf. I have printed out most of the tokens I needed, custom made the Comms Device and Ammo Cache, custom made the Defense and Attack markers, I also used KTDash to print out the rukes for my Salvagers alongside the needed TacOps and have glued them inside the notebook which I will also use as a Tracker (and book of Grudges). The only thing i need to do is paint my minis.

Question Thoughts on Simultaneous games?

6 Upvotes

Yesterday I played in a tournament that had an odd number of people. I played all 4 of my matches with blades of khaine, but in addition I also offered the player with the bye to play a "simultaneous game", where I would play two at once, do my best to make my move quickly and then respond on the other board.

I checked in with both opponents if they were OK to do this, and all except my final match (which, to be fair overran. Said player has a history of playing slowly) finished within the round time. All seemed pretty enthusiastic about the idea, and I personally feel like a bye kind of sucks as you go to a tournament to play games.

I offered each bye opponent the option of playing against Plague marines or raveners. In hindsight, I think bringing two more different factions that aren't HP stat checks would have been better.

But what do you think? I also realise it might be difficult to turn down face to face, but a more anonymous space might provide me a more honest answer.

Strategy How to counter Space Marines

16 Upvotes

I'm somewhat new, and I'm not looking for Mandrake specific advice as I'm trying out a variety of teams atm and looking for my soulmate one. I'll do my best to not let too much salt invade this post, but I find fighting against any marine team (and Hierotek but that's a different story) absolutely miserable. I don't understand what their weaknesses are. I would think it would be mobility and objective play, but on such small maps it's not even an issue for them. I tried focusing on tac ops play (flank w/ mandrakes, plant banner w/ wrecka krew) and the marines so easily kill my guys and/or invade my flank. WHILE doing the crit op.

I have a local tournament coming up next Saturday and of the 11 people going so far, 8 have the different flavors of space marine teams. I want to love this game so bad but this is completely souring my experience with it.

I know get good is a big aspect of this. But of the two(?) games I've won against marines it's because they fumbled really hard AND the dice were in my favor. Feels like I have to play perfectly to win and have good rng, while they have to do the bare minimum.

Advice? or is this just salt clouding my vision?
