There was aa line I saw once on the effectiveness of Lasguns (possibly an Astartes talking to an Astra Militarum?) where one character derides the Lasgun as little more than a flashlight, and the Astra Militarum says something along the lines of "perhaps, but you get ten thousand (or maybe ten million) firing at once..."
Was this from like a book or codex? Or a fever dream?
So got the game about a week ago, primaried techmarine bc I'm one of those dirty dirty AdMech fan/fembois. Capped out tonight at my first lvl 25 with all purples (plasma rifle, pistol, shoulder Canon, and a speedy axe). But I've been playing quick play on the two lowest difficulties. Perks are: Omnissian Axe Deflection as I tend to find myself wadding into groups of larger bros, Long-range barrage as I also find myself playing mob control at greater distances, Battlefield Repairs which I am sketchy about as idk which enemies are Majors+ and it seems to not be *too* helpful at lower level, Inexorable Salvo, Augmented Tarantula, and Fortifying Salvo as those seem the best for a more support/mob control role (when the goddamned turrets spawn), And Decap Strategum (again. Questioning how helpful it is at lower level).
Is there a better build I can run at low level Ops, and what is everyone's build for high level? I find my play style meshes pretty well as a TM melting mobs at range, setting up turrets to be a 4th man, and getting in the thick against big bois once in a while. Advice from an elder follower of the Omnissiah would be helpful though before I reset and move up a difficulty level.
Edit: Also, I have never ran across another Techmarine. Are there just none? Or am I playing a class generally considered to be shit?
We need to crowd source an Altar of Celine somewhere in Chicago so that the Wonks have a place to pilgrimage to and lay flowers and gifts in remembrance. Or gather on some anniversary.
Had a box from a year ago and finally got around to getting magnets for it and assembly. Holy *Fuk* was that an ordeal! I admire the complexity and attention to detail AdMech demands but JFC that box is something else! Every step I had to read, re read, and even then missed something. And the kit itself is so infuriating to assemble that I found myself on no less than four occasions. Had one robot sealed up in the chest when I realized I had forgotten to install the protocol chip (feel free to roast me here lore nerds, I forget what they are called). So I had a spare data chip. Thought I would glue that to my datasmith's backpack arm only to discover that due to it's awkward nature of gluing the top fingers, I didn't have room, also the left arm was offset. Pulled off the left arm, cleaned and re oriented and thought fine, I'll put the spare chip in the front arm. Used my tweezers and dropped the chip on my grey carpet, it is now lost to the warp. Decided to prop open the plate on the second robot after figuring out that due to the placement of the legs, which I foolishly didn't check the fit before gluing, that one would be in an upright and motionless state. So that one would be in reset mode as I glued the 2nd chip to the datasmith. The other robotics in a wild running stance so took both the bent "action arms" and attached to that one.
Despite the mistakes I think it adds a touch of comedy and motion to both, as well as the DS. Anyway, I'll post them when finished.
Just out of curiosity, how long does green stuff take to fully set? I messed up the polarity of the magnets and had to test one which pulled the magnet off hours later. I don't want to test again until fully set.
