We're

#

Okay so

#

Anything with the word “reload” on it needs you to sacrifice an MV before you reuse it yeah

#

How does the CARCASS Thrall’s Tactical Reload work

rugged musk
#

Just stack buffs

#

I had a stacked barrel morph with 3 strength tokens on it but it died before shooting anything. It was sad

versed ravine
#

Is it just “When you make a headshot, you can’t make any more headshots until you reload, but you get one strength”?

tiny fulcrum
#

No , Tac Reload automatically reloads you

tacit cedar
#

nah the headshot means you reload for free

rugged musk
#

Does Reloading a unit (like ammo goblin) reload ALL reload properties?

tacit cedar
#

reload is binary

bleak folio
#

yea tac reload is using the verb reload

tacit cedar
#

all weapons unload when you fire any of them

#

and vice versa when you reload

bleak folio
#

not the tag for abilities

rugged musk
#

I thought it was a use per weapon, good to have that cleared up

versed ravine
#

Okay

opaque socket
#

I think Reload, the tag, means you need to sacrifice a move to use it if you used one

versed ravine
#

I think I wish Unload and Reload were different rather than being the two contexts for the word Reload in abilities

opaque socket
#

and reload, the effect, means you reload your abilities with the reload tag

rugged musk

#

S.T.G is really weird
because its a big commitment for the Carcass player, and basically means you can't really use any Soul otherwise

#

but it also presents a huge threat if the enemy necro is ever not covered

tacit cedar
#

I think it's better with heresy for a thrall that's good at trading

#

and then devil bullet

#

Thinking about Blood Drinker / Apoplexy / Killing Spree for my Warlord. Just go for maximum frenzy mode.

rugged musk
#

On the previously mentioned "devil impact tie", before the tie I hit a headshot on my weapon with 6 soul, but given we were at Spite level I only picked up Overwatch

I don't know if I regret it, but a final round S.T.G. would have been so good

tacit cedar
#

which I would say gunwights aren't great for cause they feel like they wanna be in cover and plink

#

mostly cause they're very slow

rugged musk
#

Gunwights are basically markerlights with a small push ability

short cloud
#

is necrocide or carniphagous blade better with spreader?

lethal trench
#

Gunwights are great honestly

#

ignoring armor on their attack is huge

weak igloo
#

Gunwights are legitimately one of the biggest threats in the game

lethal trench
#

and you get a bunch of them

#

they can very quickly focus things down

weak igloo
#

If I run carcass I’m gonna have a hard time not taking 4

lethal trench
#

if you get just a bit lucky with headshots, they murder things very fast

weak igloo
#

Especially at higher levels with things like might and reload on headshot

tacit cedar
#

gunwights are awesome which is why you don't want them to mass die to enable stg haha

rich scarab
#

Yeah just take a whole bunch of gunwhights, nothing could go wrong Splash isnt real

weak igloo
#

I mean I don’t think anything besides stitches and warheads you actually plan to die

lethal trench
rich scarab
#

Stiches are also quite tanky because they can gain Vit

rugged musk
#

Heresy level, gunwights + antipriests

tiny fulcrum
#

Warheads are amazing disruptors since they're the tankiest thralls in the game

Oh that makes a lot more sense

Typo

candid monolith
#

So far I'm really excited for seeing what four warheads and two painwheels can do

opaque socket
#

you're right the typos aren't excusable Tom's been working on this for like, months he should have caught them/s

rugged musk

I know he had to crunch to release on halloween

#

He must rest

After 1 match against Goregrinders, my impression is you're playing chess but you capture like in checkers and all your pieces are rooks

candid monolith

Release a patched copy, included new, funnier typos

I'm not funny enough to give them

All Houses engage in war, but to Hause Grudgebearers the ritual gestures of war are an act of worship in and of themselves. In their hands, hatred of the enemy is beaten through sheer repetition into a rifle and a bayonet and hardened into the courage to charge headlong into the front, die, and then rinse yourself off and repeat anew.

Why kill your enemy when you can time them out or annoy them so much they forfeit lol

Presumably the devil right next to you is about to let you out in the most violent way possible

i can't wati to play deadsouls

so i think i just loose

thick sphinx

That's a lotta soul & actions spent on walls

such is the deadsouls way

tame pasture

its clearly paying off

i cant do anything

You need to see people to shoot them

You can shoot walls

I mean, skull crack one-hit KOs a wall

how much damage did the devil do

tame pasture

none

crisp night

or did it get smoked

#

Welp

tame pasture
#

smoked

naive glacier
#

im gonna tone down the wall creation in the typo update

thick sphinx
#

Think focus-firing on the wall-makers might work better? Devil seems like a bit of a distraction carnifex here

crisp night
#

awww

tame pasture
#

thank god

crisp night
#

i gotta get some matches in before then

naive glacier
#

(just slightly) its just a little too high atm

crisp night
#

i do agree though especially looking at

naive glacier

I think the comp I used in test didn't have that much wall stuff

what abilities did the deadsouls necro have

#

we're running foul monuments as placing walls instead of terrain

naive glacier
#

base + malebolge i don't remember the rest

tame pasture
#

which i assume is correct

naive glacier
#

yeah thats one of the ones im gonna change I think 3 walls at once on a good roll might be too much lol

nova mason
#

Deadsouls be like "everyone gets a free house"

naive glacier
#

just a little map cluttered

tame pasture
#

just little bit

crisp night
#

lucky me i didn't intend to use foul monuments anyway

tame pasture
#

og map only had 4 walls in the middle

crisp night
#

even if it's probably te better option

naive glacier
#

I will say it is rough on carcass especially though

crisp night
#

i like ivory serpent too much

naive glacier
#

you do have pretty good wall clear with the egis

tame pasture
#

#

as the person against gamba. i did focus the aegis knowing that

splash damage also damages walls

nova mason
#

I do like the idea that deadsouls is just baby jail Ngl

naive glacier
#

enforcer fire grenade can take care of them ok if you can get los

tame pasture
#

oh i thought they were immune to splash

naive glacier
#

no

#

they are not

#

they can be damaged by anything

tame pasture
naive glacier
#

lol

#

i will be adding a clarification but walls can take splash damage, line damage, etc

tame pasture
#

lets see if i can escape this anywho

#

before doom does doom things

naive glacier
#

good luck

#

I will say from the tests I've done I think token clear is pretty good to have

crisp night

what round are you on currently

good heresy

nova mason

Just bricks and piss everywhere lol

my heresy will most likely be deadsouls and abhorrers

because i really like abhorrers

i just like deadsouls a little more

I mean this with much love for the subs

tame pasture

and like

crisp night
#

sacrifices are funny little guys (doomed)

tame pasture
#

the after combat assessment was

#

could of just had more sacrifices

#

and chosen

tame pasture
#

instead of vizigheist and bound devil

#

which would have people boxed in much sooner

crisp night
#

i can see why that would be very effective against carcass

candid monolith
tame pasture
serene sundial
tame pasture
#

i think this strat dunks on a bunch of factions

crisp night
#

i want to use gheist and focus more on a sort of assassination strategy with my comp

#

so hopefully that's still effective

#

moar walls is funny though

tranquil mural
#

also having puppet master was a crazy strong backup with the sacrifices

tame pasture
#

goregrinders, abhorrers & igorri kinda just get dunked on by this

serene sundial
#

Walls seriously hinder some houses.

tiny fulcrum
#

Goregrinders? Nah you take Furious Roar and you never get boxed in again

shut hare
#

dead souls does pretty good against abhorrers yeah, i feel the most important unit in that matchup is abhorrer's penitent

#

being able to remove doom is so important

nova mason
tame pasture
#

you run out of soul faster than they spend to box in

tiny fulcrum
#

Roar ain't a soul ability

#

Just an ACT

tame pasture
#

oh even worse

#

💀

tiny fulcrum
#

No

tame pasture
#

you only get that once then

#

/ round

#

vs them getting to counter with a wall every turn

tiny fulcrum
#

Like, if someone starts boxing you in you just use it and reset any progress they've made

serene sundial
#

They still get to wall you in faster than you can reset their progress.

tame pasture
#

genuinely good in theory but in practice its not that easy to run out

tiny fulcrum
#

Plus it gives you speed tokens so subsequent uses move you 3 instead

tacit cedar
#

speed only affects MOVE

#

and step is explicitly not

tame pasture
#

tldr: wall strat kinda goofy atm

tiny fulcrum
#

Eh

serene sundial
#

And the more walls there the harder it gets to pull off all those MOVE in a straight line ACTs goregrinders have.

thick sphinx
#

If goregrinders kill enough of them to generate the soul to wall you in properly, I'd say that's job done

tiny fulcrum
#

Sure, they're not core to the faction though

thick sphinx
#

Since it's 1 soul to make a wall via the soul ability, and you only get one per round and then only after T1

tiny fulcrum
#

Like the whole reason Carcass gets demolished here is a combination of low movement and walls countering ranged

#

Goregrinders are the fastest faction in the game full stop

thick sphinx
#

By the time T1 is over the Goregrinders are almost certainly adjacent to half your units

tiny fulcrum
#

^

thick sphinx
#

T2 you get to make 1 wall +1 for each of your units the goregrinders kill, and if they're that worried about it then they're probably killing anything else that can make walls first

#

Though I'd probably be more focused on the stuff making weakness tokens

tiny fulcrum
#

Yeah that's the thing

#

The Grinders aren't gonna bother with Sacrifices

#

They just laser demolish everything else

tame pasture
#

ngl this is a white room scenario i dont actually believe would be reliable in practice

crisp night
#

i think the best way to settle this is to get into a gg v ds match and see how it pans out

tame pasture
#

i'll happily be proven wrong on this though

thick sphinx
#

I mean, maybe not, I certainly haven't tested it. I'd just be shocked if it does turn out that way

tranquil mural
#

yeah i feel like it has to be seen in practice. deadsouls is kinda ridiculous from my own use

#

with the boxing in and stalling

#

you can easily create somewhere between 2-6 walls withing 2 turns of the game starting atm

tame pasture
#

also i will note sacrifices generated 0 walls

#

if the rolls were different i could have been dunked on much sooner

I think I have some cool bones (hah) here
just need to dig into and define the units and what they Do

#

Can one play as a Goregrinder with just a horde of Warheads

umbral cipher
#

Yeah sure

crisp night
#

the fun part about building for thralls is that you get to spend all of your extra points on the necromancer to make them much buffer

#

and more versatile

#

i kind of want to figure out how to do a thrall-majority gargamox comp but i feel like that lends itself to catastrophe too easily

#

scum have armor but every faction has some way to deal non physical damage

#

and then they just pop

umbral cipher

I mean that's just true of thralls in general

tiny fulcrum

Yeah, Warheads are basically the one exception

i was the most hyped about abhorrers before release but now that i see abhorrers being popular here my contrarian brain wants me to shift my attention over towards other factions

#

i hate that about me

#

...all the factions are cool though so its not too bad

crisp night
#

i had something a little similar

#

i really was interested in igorri and carcass but all of my friends outside of this server are going to play carcass and igorri

#

and i want to avoid mirror matches

uneven prawn

i might just turn into a deadsouls kind of guy ngl

look at all that ward wow

deadsouls is pretty popular as well

considering that it is incredibly good in many matchups (apparently)

#

It might just be me playing recklessly, but I found the round threshold stuff in Abhorrer a bit difficult to utilise so far

tame pasture
#

i defo think abhorror asks you to play really reserved

tranquil mural
#

i wanna go against every house atleast once just to see how strong deadsouls is overall

shut hare
#

i think abhorrer benefits from early on vitality generation so it can get into the later rounds safely with higher HP when many of its things start to trigger

crisp night
#

i think that carcass operators constantly have touhou music playing in their headset

shut hare
#

usually my deployment is something like this;

Turn 1 Inquisitor winch (step into adjacency with antipriest)
Turn 2 Antipriest Blessed Censer (odd stance = splash vitality)

#

so everyone save for antipriest has vitality by turn 3

quite funny to me that the Necro's just a big ol circle

bit of a question for folks

#

if you attack someone

#

and the attack has an effect with like

#

a d6

#

do you count the attack d6 for it ?

#

or do you roll a seperate one

patent steeple
#

seperate

short estuary
#

I've only rolled separate

arctic solar
#

separate yeah

opaque socket
#

ah okay

short estuary
#

Not sure if it says explicitly raw

patent steeple
#

the effect die is distinctly seperate than attacking

opaque socket
#

damn we ruled it wrong with magnus then

#

lol

short estuary
#

Also I only roll 1 effect die if there are multiple options for different numbers

patent steeple
#

yep thats how it is

1 effect die

solemn laurel

made a dead souls guy profile if anyone wants to freely use him 👍 he puts the ghastly in maleghast

i just realized that the ammo goblin has formation even though it has no attacks

chadthink what could it mean

#

getting +1d on a whole lot of nothing

tacit cedar

just wants to be included

uneven prawn
#

imagine making an abhorrer gameplan that revolves around the holy body and the carcass player says "i rolled a 6 on the deathmark from the barrelform"

serene sundial
#

So what genres of metal are the maleghast houses?

serene sundial
uneven prawn
#

low risk high reward

#

worst case scenario you remove 2 vitality, which for the holy body might as well have been 2 damage

#

yeah for sure! u can just append it with my discord username (i never change it) or area_werewolf (my twitter)

pulsar lodge
#

for thralls, when it says you can active 2 at once, does that mean you can move both at the same time as if you're moving one?

patent steeple
#

yeah basically u get 2 activations for the price of 1

#

actually

#

u have 1 go then the other

serene sundial
#

I think you can do 2 turns back to back if you're doing thralls.

patent steeple
#

is how i read it

#

yes

serene sundial
#

So one thrall > 2nd thrall > enemy turn

patent steeple
#

its not simultaneous

crisp night
#

deadsouls is very specifically black metal

#

gargamox might also be one subgenre i actually just havent listened to those bands in their soundtrack

#

carcass is interesting because one of their songs isn't even strictly metal and another song is by babymetal, who i love, but is definitely different than a lot of metal music

serene sundial
#

I don't know a lot of metal so I was wondering what's the deal here.

crisp night
#

goregrinders is all death metal/deathcore

#

forgot about them

I want to homebrew a hozier house, he would fit the undeath theme really well

Hozier is alt rock. I dont really listen to metal either but I apreciate the aesthetic

I think its Alloy

just kidding if any house is made of alloy metal its Igorri

gray crystal
#

Does anyone have any experience with how effective the turn 4+ effects are? Things like Doom and the abhorrers seem sort of win more

opaque socket
#

on account of being made of other things

candid monolith
#

I'll say it once and take my punishment when I feel like it: even though I like metal, a lot of the genres like black/death/etc metal sound too similar to me for me to identify genre

opaque socket
#

Doom is fine

#

the damage is basically a good way to have like, an end goal

crisp night
#

a lot of them are very similar

#

a lot of it comes down to origin and nuance

serene sundial
#

Dark country cowboy house, their Necro is THE UNDERTAKER.

opaque socket
#

Doom is less there because you NEED the damage and more because it can finish off people by round 4 anyway

I just know what chisels the crust off the dopamine button long enough to get a few squeezes in

opaque socket
#

I legit deterministically lost last time because I had 2 doom on my operator at round 3

#

there was no way for me to actually get it off from my operator

#

and no way to actually kill the other necromancer

candid monolith
#

Oof

opaque socket
#

it was fun I did bring it on myself

crisp night
#

deadsouls fun fact! You are afflicted by 5 stacks of Doom,

candid monolith
#

This does seem like a game where I'm less interested in winning and more in having a good time seeing which one of us dies

gray crystal
#

yeah, that's my takeaway too

#

it's just as much fun to just see your opponents strategy work

candid monolith
#

Besides, I get a six day nap

opaque socket
#

I don't have experience with Abhorrer but they seem like their goal isn't like, neccesarily to last that long as much as they can finish off a fight quickly if it lasts long enough

candid monolith
#

That's a win of its own right there

tame pasture
#

the carcass suffering

lethal trench
#

damn, Carcass really has no token removal on the Operator

tame pasture
#

they dont have any like

#

in general

#

only egis can remove them from itself

lethal trench
#

only one I could see is the upgrade on EGIS yeah

tacit cedar
#

once above spite you can put it on bastion

opaque socket
#

Like for example for Abhorrer their hunter deals a lot of damage

#

the "ignore armor" bit is like

gray crystal
#

Carcass is definitely the strangest faction

opaque socket
#

icing on the cake

lethal trench
#

yeah Inquisitors are already good

gray crystal
#

Bad matchups/maps are crippling

patent steeple
#

yeah i had trouble getting to those round thresholds

#

when i played abhorrers

crisp night
#

we should give CARCASS a rambo unit with an LMG called the bonesaw and a walking fire ability

opaque socket
#

Like this

real bane
#

Speaking of Abhorrers, how's Miracle feel in practice? It reads kind of like Blood Fury but random, and I wonder if it works better in play.

opaque socket
#

this is already pretty good on its own before you get to the stance effects

#

Zealot is also nuts by default

patent steeple
#

miracle is a lot of fun

#

exorcist can buff miracle

gray crystal
#

Oh yeah absolutely. The only one which I think is just bad is the necromancer trait to gain 1 vigor every turn at round 4

tame pasture
#

miracle has a uh

lethal trench
#

Zealot is... interesting

tame pasture
#

funny

#

interaction

#

specifically in goregrinder

opaque socket
#

Look at this

tame pasture
#

they still die

#

so you get the points

lethal trench
#

I'm not sure what to think of them yet
I do think Smite is a big part of their strength

opaque socket
#

range 1 to 2 attack WITH a move or a push ?

#

AND move 4 ?

#

AND they get a vit for moving ?

real bane
#

They are horrors

crisp night
#

much like the zealot from vermintide 2; they look juiced as fuck

cinder isle
opaque socket
#

They're pretty good imo even before you factor in smite

#

nah

cinder isle
#

i thought that's what the "again" part meant

lethal trench
#

the thing is that compared to a lot of other Horrors Zealots are pretty low damage unless you use Smite IMO

opaque socket
#

Oh

#

my bad

#

yeah

lethal trench
opaque socket
#

its if they move again

cinder isle
#

yeah

opaque socket
#

which

#

yeah

#

chain counts

cinder isle
#

so not on standard MOVE

#

but still bonkers

#

because it has free movement in-kit

tame pasture
#

carcass just being the most honest house in game

lethal trench
#

though if Smite really is checked when you make the attack, I think you wanna Smite on even turns generally

tame pasture
#

yes i am biased

real bane
#

(and, again, Goregrinders get to Not Die for free)

tacit cedar
#

I mean you could also miss every attack

cinder isle
#

it should be check on-hit, yeah

tacit cedar
#

or never roll effect

patent steeple
#

u can buff it harder with antipriest

cinder isle
#

i think

tacit cedar
#

n goregrinders don't get soul when they enter rage

serene sundial
#

Wait, abhorers get souls before miracle?

tame pasture
#

yes

serene sundial
#

This... Big news.

#

I could have had so much soul.

tame pasture
#

only once though

serene sundial
#

Damm

tame pasture
#

no double soul

#

(thank god)

patent steeple
#

u get slain then come back at the end of the turn

#

if it procs

serene sundial
#

I was playing as if they get the soul only when miracle fails.

tame pasture
#

(i have enough soul abuse ptsd as is)

patent steeple
#

nope

#

u always get that soul

real bane
patent steeple
#

just

serene sundial
#

Big news.

patent steeple
#

ur units stick around

serene sundial
#

I could have had so much souls.

patent steeple
#

so u get the soul with none of the downsides

tame pasture
#

counter point

#

goregrinder

opaque socket
#

Miracle isn't really like, something you bank on imo

#

getting a unit back is pretty sweet as it is

patent steeple
#

kinda unfortunate that abhorrers dont have a thrall unit tho

tame pasture
#

i really gotta make it clear that miracle is a downside in goregrinder

serene sundial
#

I just lost abhorrers vs goregrinders yesterday.

patent steeple
#

blood grinder

#

but yeah

tame pasture
#

too much necromancy words

#

but yes

#

im assuming thats what u mean?

tame pasture
#

blood grinder

#

so many grinders

fiery orbit
#

how does splash interact with tyrants if i target a tyrant with a splash attack does that make it bigger?

serene sundial
tame pasture
#

you target 1 of their spaces

#

splash goes out from that area

#

wait no no

crisp night
tame pasture
#

i've been running it wrong

opaque socket
#

Nah splash is every unit adjacent

#

it does interact

tame pasture
#

yeah

this is good AND bad

#

use it well

#

i hope that berserker runs up to that holy body and rips it in half

#

as much as i like abhorrers

serene sundial
crisp night
#

thinking about an angel figure getting its head get crushed by a giant with a buzzsaw arm is great

serene sundial
#

But my exorcist got ripped in half by two juiced up carnifexes.

#

Welp, it was my first game.

i'll make nicer maps for other matches

what a world!

crisp night

holy body doesn't have a head do you think it'll accept the halo

tired bolt
#

yes

languid lotus
#

question: how much damage is a little or a lot. need some assistance determining

crisp night
#

i feel like anything above 2 is a lot but take this with an entire shaker of salt as i haven't played

tiny fulcrum
#

Anything above 2 is a lot

patent steeple
#

2 is biggy dmg

#

1 is average

#

but crumbles to armor

serene sundial
#

2 is good damage.

patent steeple
#

most stuff that isnt a thrall has 4 hp

languid lotus
#

noted, mainly trying to figure out just how far holy body's defenses go

patent steeple
#

so 2 dmg takes u to half health

serene sundial
#

Above 2 we're in big boy territory.

tame pasture
#

1 damage and then 1 damage again

languid lotus
#

cause it's got 3 hp but has 1) super armor and 2) high vitality generation

serene sundial
#

Holy body can take incredible punishment tbh

tame pasture
#

is the scariest damage

#

if you can apply vuln

#

or get strength

patent steeple
#

2 dmg can be big but u have 6 vitality for a reason

tiny fulcrum
#

My current theory is you should legit just ignore a Holy Body if you can

#

It's incredibly durable

#

Igorii can deal with it well via Strigoi

patent steeple
#

hazard creation is just super strong

#

ive found

tame pasture
#

also yes

i hope the errata release makes the pdf searchable

You ignore the holy body

Ngl I'm not sure if Tyrants taking damage from starting on multiple hazard tiles is intended

tame pasture

if not then remind me to poke tom about that

since there is no limiter in their wording atm

serene sundial
#

Yeah

You can just slap 4 spikes under a guy!

patent steeple

thinking about kitbashing together some proxies to make and print maleghast minis (for personal use) if anyone has files they'd recommend (:

brittle otter

Awesome!

tiny fulcrum

It also says "starting a turn in a hazard space" deals 1 damage, so you can interpret the wording my way as well

#

No clear indication in either direction

we thought that was excluded intentionally

fiery orbit
#

if you attack a wall do you still roll an effect dice for example
if you use flesh whip on a wall from the homunculus do you still roll to make corpses?

hexed coral
#

That’s a good question!

thick sphinx
#

I think that specific example is 'yes, you would make corpses' but that it'll vary depending on whether the effect in question references units

#

E.G. Gargamox's infect can't jump to walls

#

Nor can they be given plague tokens

fiery orbit
#

whose starts 2nd round? the person who won the coinflip or the passing person?

opaque socket

you always alternate

as in, no matter the number of units

unless I guess you have lost a bunch

Player 1 > Player 2 > Player 1 > Player 2

this goes past round

Player 1 > Player 2 > [ROUND END] > Player 1

It will have cover against any foe further north than those two Xs

does the sniper have los here

I'd say no

Walls are big

I've personally been saying, even if I only played like

once

which is why the Deadsouls truly are superior

tame pasture

cuz this exists

that it'd be cool if Deadsouls generated walls with 1 HP

100% no bias when i say this

elfin ermine
tame pasture
#

carcass is the most honest house

elfin ermine
#

this thing?

#

I read it as choosing different tokens for each corpse, and doing that instead of rolling

#

or maybe its choose a token type per corpse and just getting them, hmm

opaque socket
#

I mean i'll have to see there's some pretty wild stuff you can do with carcass

hexed coral
#

I feel like Carcass is about as straightforward as a house with guns should be.

#

In that they’re big on shooting

opaque socket
#

for one soul you can reload after moving and acting

#

on your operator

tame pasture
#

i get that but like

#

that compared to some of the stuff other factions can do

#

its not really going to checkmate anyone

opaque socket
#

You can deal 3 damage on a graze haha

#

I think you absolutely can checkmate people

tame pasture
#

they should've just dodged

#

simple solution

elfin ermine
#

I feel like goregrinders is pretty honest

tame pasture
#

go play skirmishers

the house i'm playing is the most honest one

see

all the others ? they're way too strong

now you get it

I think Tom should remove maleghast

The best way to play wargames and to play sideways fighting games is
-show up, pay your fees for the local tournament

-lose with the coolest looking faction or character
