Can't seem to post this to the main 40k sub so thought i'd drop it here.
Tried making the gore bits work but i think i'm using the wrong type of glue for that, will have to come back to it later once i figure it out.
So, i had a chance to play my 3rd and 4th ever games today. The first game was a reality check and i got stomped mega hard by the nids. The opponent played nids again and i was like "ah shit here we go again ima get rekt"...But Khorne spoke to me and said "nah bro, not today".
I actually did a bit of reading and learned how to use blessings of Khorne and cover this time.
I rolled Dev Wounds and Lethal Hits for 3 rounds straight, in round 4 i got Dev Wounds and Sustained Hits. Every single shooting roll i did failed, i took it as a sign and stopped trying to even shoot after round 2. Khorne rewarded this behaviour by providing 8 zerkers with an attach that did 29 wounds and nids managed to save...3. By end of round 4 the opponent wanted to forfeit the game but i didn't let him because he was leading in points. So we went into round 5, zerkers absolutely wiped their arses with the nids and i ended up winning by 1 point. Nids were using command points and strategems and all the tricks, and none of it mattered, my rolls were just that fucking good.
Best part is that i don't use strategems yet and didn't even know that you can actually use both melee weapons with the Lord on Jugg.
P.S. I then played against orks and lost pretty badly but that doesn't matter, i walked away with an additional 42 skulls for the throne today.
Edit: Oh, and i didn't even use enhancements (learned about them after the match) or transport or any support, just 20 zerkers and Lord on Jugg.
The reason why AI on hard difficulty is actually hard is because it is meant to be like this. This isn't CoD where hard = enemies with more HP. Stop whining about it, it is like this by design. The game rewards system mastery over improv. You are not supposed to be able to beat the hardest AI. This game wasn't made for story telling, it was made by hardcore slavs for other hardcore slavs who miss HoMM 3. Git gud or get a refund, but for the love of god please stop fucking moaning about "Omg i started a game on impossible difficulty and it is actually impossible."
