Nah, if Kroothereals were real, the Tau would become good because the Kroothereals would teach them how to melee

Ethereals themselves are not terrible in melee.
It’s just the classism inherent in the society.

WS3+ with those honor blades, friend. They’re as good as an Eldar.

“Less shit” would be the 4+ of a guardsman, compared to the “shit” 5+ of a Tau.
They’re literally worse at fighting than a zombie.

Yeah, be me running a KSons army and I see Ahriman across the table constantly leading a daemon soup or DP brigade or cultist swarm. 'Cos y'know, fuck flavor, people wanna win.

Also Tau do plenty in the 5th phase of the game. It's just that it happens to also be shooting.

My justification for Ahriman in my Chaos Band is that they're seeking the same thing and he's amused by the dumb-but-badass Warlord so he's content to let him remain in charge... For now.

Also I miss him throwing out all that mindbullet. Newer editions cut his powers per turn. I had him hold down a whole flank from attacking Space Marines. That was actually a fun battle. I made some excellent tactical decisions.

Also I took Chosen pound for pound into hand to hand with Terminators and fucked em up. My friend was a bit pissed about that. Dem power axes and fists.

Who needs that shit when you have ALL THESE GUNS.

Time to deep strike some terminators.

One blood angels captain would be better then terminators squad. He can kill knight per turn.

When did we all start talking tabletop?
I don’t hate it, but it seems new.

Also Terminators are weird now. Custodes Land Raiders used to have a 5++ invulnerable save, but it went away with 8th edition. Everyone was sad but hadn’t really come to terms yet with the fact that a 5++ on something so heavily armored only becomes useful against AP-4 or more.
Terminators are in the same boat, except a shadowsword certainly won’t be shooting at them- so why pay for a useless save?

That face your opponent makes when you tell him your warboss wounds his Reaver Titan on 2’s.

I love for that face.

Is the face the deadpan: “Oh no. Nine wounds.”

Because anyone who is dropping over a thousand dollars on a model probably has a range of faces, and very few of them include your pimped out warboss.

Do titan weapons have a minimum range?  It would be tempting to apply a volcano cannon shot to said warboss.  Even if the blast might damage the reaver too.

Actually against a reaver a Warboss can get up to About 45 on average if his rolls are hot

Two questions I have trouble believing a Princeps has ever had to consider: "Is that one Ork is actually a threat to me?" and "Do I need to shoot myself in the foot to kill one Ork?" "Yes." and "Maybe."

How does one model wound 45 times on average? Assuming he hits on a 2+ because I don't know how Orks work, he'd need 9 attacks doing D6 wounds each, rolling a 6 on all his wound dice to get that.

edit: Which I think works out at around 18 attacks doing D6 mortal wounds each if he rolls "average" aka 4s on his wounds dice
