Dr'o, is a smosh thing.

can we get a vs cron thread going?

[yoritomo]

Yes, we will in a bit.

It's counter productive to start a new Vs. thread as soon as a new army comes out. People need to play against the army before they can offer competent advice. The worst thing we can do to a Vs. thread is fill the first page with bad advice.

I'd look for one around the beginning of December. People should have been able to play a few games against the new codex by then.

cool, stupid robots got mean

[yoritomo]

Ok folks, new Vs threads are up.

making a nid vs nid guide ultimatly creates a paradox where by all you would end up with is a mirror match of exactly the same units (the best possible units that would kill the best possible units in any given situation). which in turn will end up being deciced by a roll of the dice. This would then mean that every cause would have exactly the same effect. every action would not have an equal and opposite reaction it would have equal and the same effect. the out come being that nids would have the sum of all possible out comes for every game. they would always win lose and draw every game.

It would cause the same kind of paradox that time travel would cause like going back and killing your self in the past or your father.

prehaps this is the will of the hive mind.... maybe its needs to be added.... something strange might happen. o.O!

lets defy causality and try it out?

A nid vs nid thread might be nice. Would have to be more general than specific, because our swarm is too adaptable to rely on any one type of tactic.

Seems like we could use a guide to identifying units in other armies. We have a good number of posts that show that many of our players don't have a clue what the other armies contain...

You know, "<insert British historian accent> ..and here we have the plasma cannon, a rare find our hive encountered in the jungles of such-and-such. It fires a small blast of armor save denying, ripper instant death ammunition, which potentially kills the firer due to it's hot nature."

Maybe a little picture of the thing and a gaunt in glasses pointing a "yard stick" biomorph at it...

I'm always asking what the Eldar weapons are. A guide to prey would be perfect

[yoritomo]

If someone wants to do a write-up on eldar weapons then don't let me stop you.

We're still not doing a Vs. tyranid thread though.

[davken]

something vs grey knights is somethin we REALLY need.

[yoritomo]

You mean like this thread?

When it comes to nid vs. nid, all it really is is whee you move your pieces. Or how well built your army is. If it is built to combat a specific army chances are you are going to lose. Though my question. a lot of little tyranid creatures like the gaunts, and rippers are completely controlled by the hive mind and therefore you have complete control over them when in synapse range. but if the opponent in a nid vs. nid match sends their minless hormagants into an area of your synapse creature's range, would they switch sides or continue to mindlessly fight? Also if both synapses overlap, would they cancel out, or kill all of the creatures in between? nid vs. nid is all about on the table tactics.
