/tg/ - Traditional Games

>>34015847
My game just crashed, sadly.

And just after I sent a thousand marines storming through system after system, purging orks.

Also, it's ridiculous that you can't trade an STC fragment with the mechanicus. Seems to me that they're be all over that shit.

>>34016095
Duke didn't finish STC work yet

>>34015847
Haha wow, it's actually real.

Best virus I've seen so far.

Note1: Can't select all of the chapters at first.
Note2: Text is hard to read.
Note3: Nice starcraft cursor.

Hmm, for me thus far is that text is a bit hard to read and it is either tedious to load everyone on barges or I missed a button somewhere.

So is Duke really working on this solo? Doing everything from coding, to audio, to graphics? Aside from bug fixing and suggestions that is.

>>34016425
1. They're not all finished yet.
2. Yeah, this is a pain. Think Duke is planning to redo this, but that'll take time.

Why have none of the threads been stickied?
Mods, get in here.

>>34016762
No. He has a small team.

>>34016799
He said that he plans to but it will probably be during beta

>>34016714
That's what you get for not playing Fleet-based.

>>34016425
UI is coming next big update.


>>34016897
The text and graphics? nah. He said that'd be one of the first to tackle.

Well I was not expecting this but okay, it fits in a odd way.

>>34017072

Will that ever get old?

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/33997206/
Were you there when history was made?

>>34017107
Fits? It might as well have been made for 40k.

>>34017247

I was, and I got to do my part in adding to it and fixing bugs.

Truly a glorious day to be on /tg/

>>34017107

Its a really good fit, I'm a little scared of all this music being removed and replaced with shittier fan made stuff. Same with the faction portraits and other artwork.

>>34017247
making the blood angels emblem

>>34017313
They can;t actually copyright other people's art, only their official emblems. That's why they used mostly 40k fanart.
And like hell the people who made Republic Commando are going to throw a fit in regards to this.

>>34017339

Its more about the possibility of everything being placeholders.

>>34017383
Duke used Vode An before the game was even released, in threads, so I don;t think it's leaving.

Just crashed on me when I tried to unload my marines on my monastery back from a raid on an ork world, but holy shit man, great job.

This is exactly what I wanted, 10/10 alpha, can't wait to see the stable versione

>>34017444
Playing Fleet-Based makes the game more stable and more fun, really. Also, email your bug reports to Duke, his email is on that one tab in the menu screen.

Rate my random

>>34017512
Pure/10.
You'll still get a lot of Marines at the start, so try not to give a shit about the Maximum size thing.

I noticed that during battles sometimes pressing enter won't show me the report, when I press it again it shows stuff like nothing happened.

Basically:

Press enter to start
My turn, press enter
Ork turn, press enter
Nothing happens, press enter
Ork turn again, press enter
My turn, etc

The battle seems to be proceding fine, just without showing me stuff

>>34017546
Can we fall to chaos in this version?
This is my first run and I feel that this screams Khorne worship ending up running rampant

>>34017577
Your Dreads are forming a wall, basically. There's a bug where attacks on Dreadnoughts don;t show unless it kills them.

>>34017596
Not, yet but eventually!
You can take and use daemonic artifacts, turn Governors insane, and attack the Imperium, though.

>>34017596
>mfw my chapter are a bunch of vampires who feast on the dead and never sleep or even go into suspended animation

>>34017700
Crusade time!

How do I raid and save this planet from orc scum?

>>34018041
You need your ships to have people in them.
Always play Fleet-based because otherwise you have to load everyone onto it.

>>34018059
Well fuck, I just destroyed some Imperial Navy ships

>>34018091
It happens.

>>34017618
Not him, what does it mean if we're stuck like that, though?

>>34018146
That's just a bug. Email Duke about it.

>>34017179
You know what won't get old?The baby.

Also, before anyone asks about artifacts:
>Go to the system with the planet that has an artifact on it.
>Once, there, go to "CHAPTER OVERVIEW"
>Click on one of your companies
>Choose a few dudes - you should see an option which reads "UNLOAD FROM SHIP".
>Unload onto the planet with the artifact.
>Use the numpad to decide what to do with it. Your marines should join you back on the ship.

>>34018282

Enough with that goddam stinking baby. It's not even the worst part of Other M.

Can I raid even if there aren't hostiles?
These ancient ruins popped up in a friendly sector, I wanna check them out

Ok, ive got my bug report/storytime.
The randomized chapter, Furious Gorillas, is a penitent chapter. A waaaagh occured and i sent the fleet to help. I was then excommunicated by the Imperium "for not fightan" even though I was.
I liberated some systems, fought after the traitor Imperium, found out a tech marine was probably a heretic, apparently killed millions of people on an uninhabited world, found a necron tomb and then CTD when i went to purge it.
Sorry, dont have the actual fatal error text; this was a recap of last night. After my session ill try the same thing again.

>>34018282
What babe?

>>34018512
ancient ruins don't do anything currently.

>>34018523
Necron Tombs cannot be raided or purged at these points in time. However, they will send out Necrons across the galaxy to skullfuck you, and they're the hardest enemy in the game. next time one pops up prepare ur anus.

>>34018512
Ancient ruins are unfinished.

>>34018591
Those orks are gun get rekt

I love the way the Imperial fleets will mobilise for nothing except corrupt marines.

Orks? Fuck that noise.
Tau? Nah.
Heretics? Don't think so.
A Marine sneezed somewhere? TO ARMS!

>>34018632
I've seen them mobilize against Tau fleets.

KILL THE XENO!

>>34018675
Really? Nice. They've never helped me do anything.

>>34018704
How do I collect this STC?

I think the game needs a button for "select all the fucking company at once" to load them into ships.

If it exists, I missed it

>>34018742
You don't yet.

>>34018742
I vote next thread be called "You can't get the STC" edition

I attacked some ork

lost

then some human said he hated me

I have no idea why

>>34018746
Select Size does that, but you can only activate it after you've already clicked one marine.
Play fleet-based.

>>34018742
STCs are not currently finished.

>>34018746
Select one marine, then click the number selected in the bottom right.
>>34018761
Seconded

>implying you didn't just become the best chapter

>>34018768

>>34018761
What can you collect?

>>34018808
Yes. Though it would be even better if you played Fleet-based.

>>34018830
Artefacts. That's it.

It's an alpha, it's not finished.

>>34018830
artifacts.
nothing else

>>34018830
Artifacts

>>34018830
Artifacts are currently the only things that can be collected.

>>34018801

you before I lost on the ground I did destory a ship

but I could of sworn it was an ork ship

>>34018824
I'm still learning how to raid

>>34018778
Oh thanks, I had missed it

I'm fairly convinced now that the custom chapter related crashing is due to some of the choices made during chapter creation. I just tried to make a chapter using the exaact same parametres about ten times in a row and it consistently crashed. Then I made some tweaks and it went through.

I'm suspecting some of the default weapon choices, but I'm not entirely sure.

>>34018865
Ork ships are rusty. Imperial ships are not.

Has anyone had problems with their techmarines vanishing? Not getting killed, just vanishing. I just had an invisible techmarine disciplined for building a freaky statue.

>>34017072
Whoa wait, this game is being made with copyright laws in mind?

That seems ridiculous

>>34018926
You underestimate GW's determination and stupidity.

>>34018892
I did for a while.

>>34017247
I was. I posted the Atomic Wolves

>>34018951
Well, I suppose so. I have heard of other fanmade projects getting shut down. But why use the names of the chapters but not the images? Aren't the names copyrighted too?

>>34018926
>That seems ridiculous
Never heard the tale of Spot the Space Marine, I see.

>tfw 2 Dreadnoughts from the same system

>>34018992
Nope. All the art isn't official, except for maybe the main menus screen, too.

You know what's really annoying about fleet based? All of your vehicles start on a planet anyway. And I can't seem to get my vehicles onto the ship that the rest of their company is on half the time.

>>34019009
>tfw screenshot for ants

To arms brothers, who knows what heresy could lie in there

>>34019042
Vehicles are unfinished. Remember, this is a very early alpha, we should be glad with what we have.

>>34019049
>ETA -1005
Lost in the warp.

>>34017247
I was the guy who posted the first screenshot. I was so fucking hyped.

>>34019034
Clearly alongside the official release we will need an unofficial art pack to correct this situation legally

>>34019042
Vehicles, apart from Dreads, do nothing in this version, so it's not much of a problem.

>>34019049
Just bombard it, it'll crash otherwise.

I traded with the mechanicus, but they're just stuck in the warp. I want muh minor artefact

>>34019049
>tfw Techpriests are lost in the Warp
Fuckin' cogs.

>>34019102
Once they get there I think even the ship itself will count as an artifact.

I sent a single frigate with 17 scouts on a Great Crusade and was given an artifact Plasma Gun. Who's running this Imperium?

I can't Purge ;_;

Ok. So last thread I was derided for not realising you right-click to set a destination for your ships in the star map, 'cuz that's what you do in an RTS.

Problem is, up until I wanted to sent out my fleet, the game feels/plays less like an RTS, and more like a menu-driven management game.

It might be just me not making the mental connection, but this seems like there's a certain disconnect between presentation and gameplay.

>>34019704
Killing people isn't heretical. Sometimes they need to be purged. And sometimes you're in-system with the navy and an accident happens. This kind of thing doesn't result in a marine chapter being declared traitors in the fluff, why should it in the game? It's "strongly worded letter" material.

How to successfully make a fleet based chapter?

It crashes when I finish every time

>>34019850
Try using random until you get something you want
Custom causes crashes sometimes

>>34019849
There is a literal corruption meter. Even in Fluff accidents aren't allowed, there needs to be a reason.
You aren't the inquisition.

>>34019884
I think naming the home/recruiting worlds the same as my fleet fixed it

How the fuck am I supposed to load this many marines into a goddamn ship? Can't it just be a "Select all" option?

That was a product being sold over Amazon, and Amazon took it down. This is something being passed around for free using DDL sites. It is not vulnerable to copyright claims in the same way that a swarm of bees isn't vulnerable to bullets. Changing shit to dodge potential copyright claims is the equivalent of a beekeeper making all the bees wear kevlar vests.

Those inquisition missions are bugged as fuck.

>>34020161
The stuff it changed is basically just the icons, so it's fine.

>>34019044
The whole game is teeny tiny.

>>34020161
You don't need to make money to be sent a C&D

>>34020193
It's bugged.
Ignore it.

>>34020239
Spots the Space Marine was never sent a C&D.
And even if they sent a C&D to Duke's feedback gmail, what exactly is that supposed to do? He can ignore it, or he say okay, and then start using a different name and pretend to be a different person while still releasing. Without a need to connect revenue, there's no reason his RL identity would ever be tied to this, and other identities are transient.

Is anyone else having trouble resuming their saved games?

>>34020387
No. It's literally just you.

>>34020387
I had some issue after shutting my PC down, but the only issues I've had reloading saves is after a fatal error caused me to need to reload.

>>34020775
Newfag question here, is it LITERALLY impossible to have Space Wolf-derived chapters, or is it just like how the Salamanders have no "official" successors, but you could totally use their geneseed tithes to found a new chapter, in theory?

>>34020815
the latter.

Space wolves aren't onboard with the whole codex thing

Great game, lots of fun and surprisingly much content for such an early build.

Only problem is how unstable it is, not really possible to play longer games at the moment. Looking forward to a more stable version.

>>34020815
Literally impossible.
The Canis Helix, which is present in Space Wolf geneseed has a strange interaction with non-Fenrisian initiates, with strange meaning they turn into horrific mutants, such as what happened to the only official successor of the Space Wolves, the Wolf Brothers. This is most likely to do with some sort of warp fuckery mixed with the genetics of Leman Russ or something like that.

There was an attempt to remove the Canis Helix about a thousand years after the Horus Heresy, but the experiment was stopped both externally, by the Thousand Sons, and internally, by the Wolf Lords, who were appalled by the idea of taking away that which was unique to them.

>>34020830
Wrong. Look up what happened to the Wolf Brothers.

>Mfw I found 2 STC Fragments nearby but I have no idea what to do with them

>>34021032
You can;t, yet. In the later updates they will give you crazy new tech options, which the Mechanicus will probably get mad at you for using.

been playing this non stop for a bit. saving often and reloading and avoiding whatever crashes my game has so far led me to last for a while.

I've seen graphics. I'm pretty sure they're just not implemented yet.

Wait, in the combat resolution I always seem to get ranged combat only, when is melee going to start? The assault company killed a bunch of orks just shooting at them

Could have been from the old attempt at making this too.

>>34022092
Fucking radical Inquisitors, man.

Just a quick bug report.

I'm kinda flying around with no idea what I'm doing after clicking on things I don't understand. And it's incredibly fun. After getting in a lot of assorted kerfuffles with Orks and Tau, I lose contact with a planet 18 turns away; it's the Nids. I start on a path towards them; on the way, it frequently has the popup "Scout added to 10.101" with a different number each time; sometimes, it gives the warning that there aren't enough scout supplies in the armory, which is probably my bad. Partway through the trip, I make an enemy in the Inquisition for reasons I don't understand but are probably justified, because it's the Inquisition. Upon arriving on the planet, this error pops up:

How the hell do I get artifacts off planets? I shipped a company over there and even had them raid it (against no enemy, not sure why you can do that), they deepstriked in, ate some guardsmen, then went back to the fleet with nothin'.

>Note that for space vessels, raiding is a free action while bombardment is not.
Why is raiding a free action? Seems like it would be good to prolong wars a bit by making it not.

So is the =I= quest to blow up a Tomb World currently fucked?

Every time I send a guy down with the plasma charge, nothing happens and the game crashes on the following turn. Or am I doing it wrong?

I wish giving marines bionics helped heal critically wounded marines.

>>34022331
I had that happened and it crashed.
It's probably bugged.

>>34022316
No idea.
I agree that in the current build it should be a full action for the deployed unit.

>>34022213
>>34022195

>>34022557
It's not in the OP, which is the problem.
Since CM is now a vidja game, it causes people to be stupid, which means we'll have to treat these threads like /vg/ does.

Has something gone wrong or not all premade chapters are available?

Woah, the Warp Storm animation is cool as hell.

>>34022505

I mainly wanted to see how their stats were, I already had fun with muh horned scars

Just reported 3rd crash. I mean fuck, is there anything else beside Orkz you can fight?
Also how do I get those artifacts and STCs found on planets? I tried raiding the planet but it only killed the orkz onboard.
Also can I do anything about necron tombs? Have they awakened for anyone?

"unload" marines to get artifacts. Yeah except that doesn't work.

No you.

Here is a question. Has Duke or anyone on his team come up with a way to keep the GW lawyer assassins off of their asses? Or are they just going to hide behind the non-profit thing?

>>34023036
Everything was going so well...

I can't do anything from this screen now.

>>34023190

There needs to be an option to trade for a sacred oil application.

>>34023190
I had this happen with admech.
Propose a trade, then click exit.

That should work.

>>34023142

Son I design UIs all the time and this one isn't very good because it's an alpha. Instead of being a dick about it you could either link to whatever you think explains it or just explain it.

>>34023099
Yes it does. You do realize there are buttons outside the raid and purge, right?

>>34023400

>>34023386

There. Easy.

Also, I'd like to see some of your UIs, so we can know you're not bullshitting to save your sorry ass the embarassment.

I can't wait until Necrons are a thing, can you guys?
Seriously, just imagine making a new chapter and seeing that little -???? On every planet near you.
Then checking it out and seeing a legion of Necrons the size of your own force jumping out of the ground, as well as a little sign saying "It has awoken nearby toom worlds"
And having 10 planets suddenly turn Necron and having jack all capability to stop it

They're technically a thing now, they just cause crashes when you fuck with them.

>>34023217
Yeah like that one, it didn't have a subject so it doesn't show up in the search. The only way to find it is searching chapter master by text and that list of results is hard to parse into individual threads.

>>34023533
Depends, is it made of fleshy tentacles?
If so, was it made by a Genetor?
If so, it's not heresy.

>>34023593
There is no mention of Flesh on that tentacle anywhere.

Objects connected to Chaos are immediately told as such. You cannot have intricately detailed flesh.

>>34023624
>You cannot have intricately detailed flesh.
Hah!

The FAQ and the thread don't say anything about research and I can't recruit new marines.

Not implemented yet I guess? I see no indicators for anything that might be a tech tree any where.

I think we should have a sector generation menu as well later down the line, unless this is already a thing.

Then we could fine tune things, little to no Imperial presence, high Necron, middling Tyranid, high artifacts, makes the game fun.

... How do I move my ships? I just started the game

>>34023624
>>34023593

First you select your fleet, then right click where you want it to go.

>>34020899
What? No How would the space wolves have a legion before they found russ on fenris you doofus. Terran Marines have been implanted with the spacewolf geneseed.

>>34023712
Recruiting marines is weird.
New Apothecaries, Chaplains and Librarians can be trained, but I've yet to see neophytes.

Research does not appear to be implemented either.

And if one of those allies is an Inquisitor...

Added FAQ and Manual to the wiki:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)#IT.27S_OUT

>>34023866
We don't know the answer to that yet. All we do know for sure is they never recruited from anywhere other than Terra and Fenris and Leman Russ was the second primarch found, so the transition was probably quite early. Seeing as the Emperor was originally overseeing the legion's recruitment and growth, he probably had ways of keeping it under control during the Unification Wars.

>>34024206
>losing forces to orks

>>34024238
You are not prepared for the Necrons.

New release is up with buildable ships. Also less bugs.

Psssst read the server message.

>>34024343
And where do we download it?

>>34024186
Try not to wipe the orks out.
Leave them at Scarce or Tiny status so they'll repopulate faster for more killing.
Also, the more marines you lose, the higher the % Penitent gets.
Try not to have overwhelming numbers.
1 full-strength company for anything Moderate or below.
2 injured companies to be safe with Moderate.
Anything beyond that isn't worth the risk of losing a company.
Heavy should use at least 150 tacticals, any anything beyond that should be bombarded down to heavy.
Otherwise the loses are too great, especially since recruitment doesn't fully work.

>>34024348
What's a server message

I talked to duke about this in the IRC but I think a larger discussion would be better
It is alluded to somewhat in the fluff that gene-seed can be harvested without the host's death
Should this be ingame?
Each marine has two glands, one takes 5 years to mature and the other 10, so every 120 turns you would get up to 3 geneseed per marine
I don't know if this time is already implemented but it should also take that long to be harvested from dead ones too.

>>34024415
Those are for orks only mind you.
If anyone can chime in with Tau/Eldar/Nids/Necrons/Guard/PDF? it would be appreciated.

>>34024414
We've been telling people to read the thread all fucking day, but this one is literally in the fucking OP.

>>34024442
I wasn't aware that it updated in the same file location.

>>34024442
>where do we download the new release
>HARGARBLE READ THE THREAD AND DOWNLOAD THE OLD RELEASE

>>34024438
Is there a way to gain gene-seeds otherwise?
There should be someway to boost stocks, rather than just preserving those of the dead.
I'm actually weak on my lore for this, but I would assume there is another method considering that the pre-heresy chapters still exist.

>>34024481
Well even if you only get two per marine it is still entirely possible to grow with that.

>>34024476
It's in the same link, you imbecile. Look at the damn mediafire's date, jesus.

>>34023991
>>34024009
It does decrease the governor's disposition by 1-2 points

THE NAMES ARE IN
>Got Alpharius as my Admiral
Holy shit??

>>34024481
It's possible to "farm" geneseed by implanting it in guinea pig humans. Chapters don't pay taxes to the imperium but they do tithe small amounts of geneseed to test for purity which is then multiplied and stored to make new chapters. I've never heard of chapters doing this themselves however.

Apart from that each marine is implanted with one geneseed and it causes them to grow a second geneseed. What happens next varies by the chapter, some surgically remove one or both from marines before they die. Others only harvest from the dead.

>>34024586
>What happens next varies by the chapter, some surgically remove one or both from marines before they die. Others only harvest from the dead.
Adding this as togglable behavior for the Apothecarium would be nice.

Does losing one gene-seed cause any penalties?
Weaker connection with the other implants or something?

We're autosaging now.
Make sure the next OP has all the needed links.

Umm guys, is there a way to research stuff? Im in the Chapter creation screen and is has DOOMED autoselected for me.

>>34024648
If you chose random you're screwed, fuccboi.

>>34024648
Disable it, or generate a custom chapter with all the same traits except that.
Research isn't implemented yet.

>>34024643
We're autosaging but we probably have another good hundred posts in here before we hit page 10.

Fucking escort ships, how do they work. Mine keep blindly charging at the enemy while getting blown to shit.

Also assaulted a craftworld for shit and giggles. I'm loving the game so far for what it can be, random crashes everywhere tho.

Well, Necrons still cause crashes.

>First version posted by duke

I don't think he even changed that. What defenses are in the system?

>>34025286
Yeah, Extreme Tyranid hordes taking no damage, and they'll kill your guys fast, even when the entire chapter is there.

You should attack their craftworld, it's hilarious.

The best way to play Chapter Master is if you were secretly chaos.

>>34025395

Do save before though because you WILL get butt-annihilated before you can blink.

>>34025411
Okay, looking at again it seems it is killing enemies but the game isn't displaying changes to enemy forces.

>>34025478
And apparently having two enemies on the same planet makes your battles an auto-win

Note: Don't destroy Tzeentch Artifacts, unlike the other 3, the Daemons inside aren't pushovers.

>Customcreate Celestial Lions
>Go blam some orks

I swear there is a code in it somewhere that makes this stuff happen.

Also all hail great Orthodontus!

the thing I desperately need is to be able to create ships. make them expensive as hell ill be okay with that. but has anyone else hovered over a forge world with a large fleet when at war with the mechanics? they pop out a ship a turn. sometimes cruisers and battleships. i must have this capability.
i hope diplomacy may flush out nicely as well.

>>34025643
Download it again, you can buy ships now

>>34025643
And the slowpoke award goes to.

Well fuck one of my marines is acting oddly and I missed the name. Anything I can do to find him, or is the chaplain role/individual loyalty not implemented yet?

Also same thing happened when the inquisition gave me a mission to purge some nobles. I didn't catch which planet. I wandered over to a planet with Maximum corruption, but I can't purge and there are no enemies when I raid (I'm pretty sure it's not the planet I'm supposed to purge anyway).

I seriously need the log to be implemented. It's so easy to miss information, especially if you've got a 12-turn trip and you're spamming the "Next turn" button and fly through some popups.

>>34025641
>losing to orks

>>34025692
yeah, as event keep happening at least a crudely functioning Log would be nice

>>34025694
>not having minimal numbers like good Celestial Lions would do

How powerful are artifacts anyway?
Certainly not enough to survive 1000+ orks on your own right?

>>34025641
You are not prepared for the complete assfucking that will arrive with the Shadow in the Warp.

>Leave 8 marines just kind of chilling on an agri-world after I forgot to pick them back up.
Well I hope they're enjoying their impromptu shore leave at least. Maybe they'll wake up the Necron Tomb that's on that planet.

>>34024618
Not entirely sure. The geneseed is the organ that regulates the other organs implanted into new marines. That's why some chapters have nonfunctioning or missing organs. But it's not clear if they need the organ all the time or just during initiation when the transformation begins. It's probably safe to assume that they need at least one.

Supposedly one geneseed is in the neck and another is deep in the chest. That's why the apothecaries have the chainfist, they need it to cut through the armour and get the geneseed out of dead marines.

If the canon chapters have a specific method of doing things that should be part of the game. For the custom chapters the player should be able to decide and it could have different effects. For instance if half of the geneseed is stored away it might get stolen or otherwise messed with. But at the same time having a reserve would make recruitment a lot easier.

Oh, and the tyranids just did me in. By the time I could finally move, a huge-ass fleet attacked my home system.

Alright, how the hell do I actually attack a planet.

I tried bombarding, but I literally didn't kill a single ork, though I DID kill the entire human populace of the planet.

>>34026343
you raid, as of yet unloading your muhreenz onto a planet from the chapter overview screen does nothing unless there's an artefact on site.

>>34026343
You put a fleet there, then hit Raid.

Alternatively, if you don't want to deepstrike, you go into your chapter overview screen and unload them. Then each turn, you'll get attacked by whoever enemies you have on the planet and you can choose to attack defensively or offensively.

Deepstriking is way better unless you have that one mutation, though.

With artifacts, I just unload the Chapter Master and it works just as well.

It seems like the inquisitorial missions always have a very short time limit. Is the idea that you should split up your chapter and station it throughout the sector instead of one huge fleet or something?

Is there a button to attack craftsworlds?

Not the other guy but...

Well, I sent 100 marines against 1000 or so orks. So yeah.

>>34026926
That's what happened to me earlier, the game would just ignore their attacks, and even when I got a 'buncha choppas hit you' message I got no casualties.

Of course, that was with a near full strength Chapter attacking with everyone, rather than this under half strength chapter.

Now I'm getting buggered.

>>34026894
See >>34026884

>>34026926
When there's a full waagh, you get infestations that, while still listed just as "extreme" also contain really powerful units including nobs with powerclaws that can rip and tear the fuck out of your assaults and are pretty effective against others. But I think most people lose to them before ever landing, probably. The orks could use a substantial buff.

It's too late. I "won" a battle with fucking 3 Necron Battleships with only my Battlebarge and 2 Escorts surviving.
