Thread: Where is everyone?

Things have gone pretty much dead around here. Seems like things have crumbled since the last narrative campaign broke down. What's going on?

Strife is life.

there is a DL tournament this week so next Monday there might be something to complain about, I mean talk about.

We've currently run out of things to complain about it seems.

If you guys want drama though, Orks can now field Stompas for 400 points in ITC. I own like 10,000 points of Orks and I am all for them getting buffs, but I really don't understand how this one got through the voting because it really should NOT have.

Oh and they also "nerfed" Tau's new formation. basically ONLY markerlights are shared now which I would argue is for the best.

Expect to see orks being top-tier now in ITC events. (awwwwww yeaaaaahh)

There is a forge world HQ choice that can be upgraded to a Big Mek Stompa for +300 points. End result is a 400 point stompa with crappy guns and d6 void shields(They are really strong guns but single shot at BS2 guns....). You can also upgrade it somewhat for quite a bit of points for some good guns.

Expect all Orks to be fielding this thing in ITC games. Between D being nerfed and Grav Spam instead of melta this thing is going to be a VERY good unit and in my opinion propels orks into top-tier. (It is ~200-370 free points compared to the normal stompa)

I agree they should have at least explained the Ork Stompa thing. It is super obscure and you have to go through several forgeworld books to use it. At least they made sure only PURE ork armies can use it, and it buffed a supbar codex to the same level as most of the top-tier armies.

I am rather happy with it though if only because it is insanely durable vs alpha strike and grav spam armies which plague tournaments. Hopefully we see things shift towards Real anti-tank weapons(instead of pure grav) and less turn 1 alpha strike armies because of it.

Maybe we need a drama thread about lack of drama.
