So after going on a MWO hiatus; I've deiced to play it once again. Mostly chose to take a break due to PGI's stupid decision to make CERLL be able to only fire one Large Laser at a time. They rolled this back, most likely due to the amount of emails asking for refunds. Wouldn't surprise me; I was so close to being one of those angry peeps!!
Regardless; today isn't about Clan Mechs at all! It's actually about one of the best Light Mechs in the game; quite possibly the best in my eyes.
The Jenner use to reign supreme out of all the Light Mechs - 6 Medium Lasers and Jump Jets anyone? But then Jump Jets got nerfed...
Now the Raven is on top; and truth be told; the Raven is probably hands down the coolest looking Light Mech in the game! Why? Chicken legs!! Reverse leg Mechs are always simply the coolest things around; it's why people (me) love the Clan Mechs so much!
Oh any here's another thing; you'll notice I don't do many posts on Light Mechs. That's mostly due to the fact that I've never been a good Light Mech Pilot. Now I'm actually pretty good. My mate did say; when you take a break from a game; sometimes, magically, you'll be good at something you weren't before.
As soon as the new Space Wolves Codex was released; I rushed straight to my local Games Workshop to immediately pick up said Codex (as well as the Space Wolves novel Stormcaller). And so for the majority of my weekend was spent reading the new Codex. Tell you what; I actually really love the new Codex. Sure it removed and nerfed several things Space Wolves-esque; but also buffed some things.
Here's a hint; Logan Grimnar is a beast!! And I don't just mean the Canis Helix!!
Welp; I've finally returned from my long as hiatus from Warhammer! This is mostly thanks to Eternal Crusade; but also because I've needed the distraction from real life and games. Somehow I got inspiration from a tad bit of depression...
Regardless; out of all the Legiones Astartes, my favourites would have to be the Sons of Horus/Luna Wolves and the Vlyka Fenryka (Space Wolves)! I super cannot wait for the new Codex and Models!! I see so many opportunities for conversions with that new Space Wolves Dreadnought!!
Anyway, today is about the Sons of Horus Contemptor Dreadnought!
Well; thanks to the new patch (July 15th, 2014) Clan LRMs have finally had their minimum range removed. That is; they now no longer have minimum range; albeit they do less damage at any range less than 180; but it's better than no damage.
About bloody time I say! This should've been implemented right from the start. But hey, I guess better late then never ay?
I reckon you can probably guess today's build ay?
Check it out right meow!
So I recently signed up for the Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade Founder Pack. Actually I signed up today really! I was originally on the fence about purchasing the Founder's Pack. I mean there are a lot of negatives when I think clearly about it (none of which I'll name; but you can easily guess).
After some tragic life events (post on that when I get the heart); I figured spending $40 to support a game I hope becomes really good; seemed like a pretty good idea. I mean if you have $40 saved on the side for games/models; might as well use it here.
I mean the goodies I get for it are pretty good. I get to reserve the much coveted name of Thaddeus (or in this case Varro Thaddeus). I also get 40,000 Rogue Trader Points (RTP, similar to MechWarrior's MC). I also get Beta access and can reserve a Guild name. Most likely I shall be thinking of some awesome Space Marine Squad name.
Regardless; there's a whole bunch of information about Eternal Crusade. And also I shall reveal my referral code for people to get some extra RTP.
Truth be told; the title should actually read TBR-S (Any OmniVariant) Build rather than PRIME. Mostly because I actually used this build on my TBR-S; I managed to get to Master with this build!
During the grind; I partially fell in love with this build (its got nothing to do with the Anime character I named it off). Ironically it doesn't even have CSRM6s!! Or any SRMs for that matter!!
One can argue that it's kind of a "cheesey" build. And I would agree with thee to a certain degree. But it actually takes quite a bit of skill to use this build. More so than the simple "MetaWolf" of a CGauss and 2 CERPPC! After all; it takes someone with good heat management skills to actually pilot today's build.
Check it out right meow!
THEORY TUESDAY
I have another Theory build in which I need a gullible guinea pig to test this for me. Truth be told; on paper this thing is a beast with an extremely high Alpha whilst still remaining (relatively) heat neutral. The DPS is also very high. I will admit that it is rather hot, but that can be negated with a Coolshot and/or an Elite-ed Warhawk.
Check it out right meow!
