Re: For The Emperor(FC Global)
Well, you are asking for FTE to get improved since you consider is underused and/or not red-worthy enough, either way what you are asking for is a buff. When you're asking for a buff it's implied you consider it needs one and therefore that the ability is weaker than it should be

Re: For The Emperor(FC Global)
you use FTE to allow tacs with rocket launcher to 2 shot a transport instead of 3shot it. That's pretty much it, big thing tho

Re: How to counter Chaos melee and Empyreal Abyss?

Re: Eldar Autarch drop please stop it wiping set up teams
I dont want to talk about the libby in an autarch thread. But she does beat the libby in 1v1 (useless data i know none of these subcommander will ever engage in melee with each other) and since both have 360 specials but autarch attacks a bit faster she's a bit stronger in melee than the libby, by a...

D-cannons usually shits on whatever t2/3 the SM can have, FP + Dcannon should be able to easily handle predators and terminators at the same time

Re: Imperial guard vs eldar more focused early and late game
easy solution IMO is to revise wraithguard, IMO makes no sense they also suppress with their shot. The damage is fine as it is, no need for added effects

Re: How are terminators balanced wrt nobs?
IIRC nobs are actually more expensive than termies, tho in elite they are super buffed(yes they are) which is kinda gay The only problem i see in termies vs nobs is that nobs can level and termies can't. Lvl 1/2 nobs are possible to handle, lvl 4 nobs... that's another story. Ofc torpid will come in...

i think the apo actually shines in t1 and then falls of in late t2/t3. And that's i think makes people say Apo is strong, since he does actually make a huge impact in t1

Re: Sacred Standard in T2.
It's not like the SM roster is filled with very hard hitting units anyway. I mean, it's not a nid army buffed by a 25% damage aura from the RA or UYC beefing one the killiest squads in the game by 35%

Re: IG vs Vengence devs
then get catachans + spotters or 2 spotters. Spotters are cheaper than devastators
