Saga of Bjorn and friends (aka adjusting to DE meta) (done)

[Wulf Vengis]

Thorough enjoyment here. So much of 9th is still a foreign language for me but i get the overall gist of everything being described even if i can't figure out the damned maps.

 

What medium are these games taking place in/on?

 

How much does it cost, if anything, to play on this medium?

 

Could it be used to learn to play more thoroughly than say...me playing simplified versions of the game with my 7 year old?

 

EDIT: Can i play on this medium via my phone/tablet as i don't have a computer?

Tabletop Simulator

 

I got it on steam...normal $20 but often on sale for $10

 

you need mods to run 40k but very easy to find

 

laptop or computer only...40k will bog down an old slow computer too

 

 

this is a tutorial video from the community I play in

Thanks for the answer.

 

Unfortunately the laptop i own is 20 years old and has no protection. It is not allowed to know the Wi-Fi password.

However I had 4 matches on my calendar and this had the lowest priority.  When I couldn't fit it in I conceded to my opponent

 

I end this pod at 2-2

 

I didn't like this version of the Bjorn/Murderfang list...lacking synergy.

Gonna take it back to the drawing board

Interesting. Your previous iteration seemed pretty good. How do you feel the additions broke the synergy you had going in that one?

 

Loving the detailed batreps and army lists. It has given me a few ideas for my Blood Angels. I want to try the Phobos Librarian with Lord of Deceit and 3 Phobos units + Death Company. If I get T1, I will Forlorn Fury the Death Company up allowing for a pretty punchy T1 assault with some decent Phobos support. If I don't, I can pull the Phobos units back out of trouble and wait for T2.

too many melee units and inceptor shooting felt sub par

 

Murderfang and wulfen took up a big chunk of points but required too much finesse in games and I couldn't be aggressive

 

I felt the lack of jump WG every game
