    Apparently I have no idea how to beat Chaos as Tau, as Blind Prophet so kindly showed me :P

    Well I'm done for the night, anyhow.

    So...

    Rather then make a new thread about it and be an attention whore, this would be the most relevant thread.

    Some of you know I work at EA.

    Recently I quit my job at EA.

    (because it sucks and they are dicks)

    Also, because I got a way cooler job at Relic starting in May.

    Tell them to make Eldar units cool again.

    That's my problem. I try to make an early attack and fucking turret kills my squad and there's really no recovering from an early loss like that.

    Slow ass necrons.

    They should make it so I can build 2 things at the same time at the monolith.

    Or, or just fuck IG turrets.

    See, that's what it's like for me when I'm against IG, only I can run away. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do against that other than techrush.

    Your quote fails.

    Therefore, get your ass in Vent as penance.

    Didn't the IG take it hard in the ass from the nerfabat in the last patch? Why are they so bad considering that their artillery and assassins got downgraded?

    BTW, has there been any word about what Relic is going to unveil/release in 2007, as it says in the end credits of DC?

    So when fighting IG let their army leave their base, keill them, then attack their homo base with all the pew pew turrets.

    Stupid preds no longer start with lascannons.

    Uh, yeah, they do?



    I just built 2 last game to kill those fucking Dreads.



    And a good IG player never leaves his base until he's sure he can overwhelm the attackers.

    I think you missed a patch or something. Because I know my Preds, SM or Chaos, do not start with las cannons.

    You mean sentinels? Predator tanks are for SM and Chaos.

    before SM was AV and Chaos was AI now they both start AI.

    Too many tank names! D:


    It also doesn't help that 90% of them look the same/very similar.

    What I should have done is gathered to preds with lascannons and a land raider at the bottom and amassed tac squads at top. Move the squads in first then attack from the bottom and quickly destroy your structures.

    Preds and Sentinels don't even look alike, nor are they even on the same team. It's like confusing warp spiders for cultists.


    And Slip, IG got what they needed to be fair. Like, I've actually used harlequins now that they won't get killed in one shot.

    I just wished that the cap on the Leman Russes would be heightened a bit at least. Shit, make it an expensive upgrade or something cause only having 2 Leman Russes at once is a bit weird considering that the IG is supposed to be a heavily mechanized army with infantry as support.

    Anyone have any tips on how to not suck?
    I usually follow the build order in the first post:
    1. Build barracks
    2. Queue one builder and two stealth suits
    3. Group to two builders together, when they finish barracks build power gen.
    4. Send stealths to cap as they come out.
    5. Build Kroot Carnivores then TC.
    6. Build listening posts when I can.

    I throw in the jetpack upgrade somewhere in there. After that I'm not really sure what to do. Also, do you guys reinforce your squads or make more?

    That was pretty awesome when it went down. I've never been in a game that that happened.

    Also, you can't make just kroot, you have to used mixed arms. And yes, people reinforced their squads.

    It is no easy task winning a 1v3. You must jump many a hurdle, bettering three armies, the smallest.

    Aye, no mere man may win an uphill battle against thrice your men, it takes a courageous heart and will that makes steel look like copper. When you are that, then, and only then, may you win a 1v3.

    Reinforcing is worse than making another squad in a lot of situations (cost-wise it's often the same, but 2 squads are harder to tie up in melee). However it's also harder to manage multiple squads than just one large squad. Some squads cost more per member for the initial squad cost, than they are to reinforce (like IG).

    Also stop idling in Hamachi and play.

    I do both. It seems to work.

    Like on Bunker 149 that one time where 64 Dark Reapers gave their last breath to defend it.

    Well I was referring to the start of a match, when you tend to have plenty of squad cap available.

    Also I wanna play.
