@@mariojorge68 Would be mistake in both cases. You only get 50 % of value back, you loose time as units need to reach objective and those were trolls, units which get value by regenerating. They are designed to run from the fight, regen, come back, run, regen, come back. Especially with healing elixirs. They would reach their healing cap and give lot of value.
Medusas recently got an updated shooting mechanic (less splash dmg, better vs SE) and 30 bonus vs large in melee, which is what the champion that routed first got smacked with. They are wielding giant polearm-ish tridents, after all.
I think the Medusae probably just got a targeting rework. They used to always fire at the very corner of formations, and didn't do dick. It looked like the Medusa here was shooting closer to the middle.
Their shots now also pierce through a few targets with a slight explosive effect instead the old larger explosion. That explosion used to waste part of its radius by, as you say, hitting the edge of a formation and blasting back into thin air. Its damage potential was pretty good, but there was no reliable way to make it hit the center of an infantry unit. The updated Medusa is a true hybrid and noticeably better.
They have +0.2 % next to Festus so they only need to fight for 5 mins to get to healing cap which isnt that unrealistic with their armor if you have marauders screening.
Hey quick question for people My friend reallys likes to play dwarves and mass spam thunderers and slayers how do I counter that as Daemons of chaos cause my guys are held up by the unbreakable slayers while getting lit up by thunderers so I’m stumped.
The ranged artillery unit that khorne has is very efficient at breaking ranged mobs. Course I think it costs 1100+ value but if you're playing a wide khorne army having a few key artillery will efficiently deal with ranged mobs and increase pressure. Furies as well can be used to tie them up and you can flank them around and do damage to the thunderers.
Having multiple tools for different enemy compositions that can still do things to other things is good, while having specialist anti-infantry units or chaff to tie up the slayers will help too.
Cav can sneak around to the Thunderers, or Furies can kill them extremely quickly while Horrors kill Slayers, especially the Sourguts. The new Changebringers can also roast them.
8:49 I was like Walter White yelling at Hank, somehow trying to warn Turin that he was about to unsummon 15 troll models
Is the value return calculated by models remaining or hp in multi-model units? Curious whenever it was a strategic decision or just a mistake
WALTUUUH!

I love the constant upbeat optimism!
Losing all 3 points: "I feel like it's actually not too bad for us". This is the kinda guy you want on your side!
Did one of the units yell "Go go Gadget!" @13:50 lmao
cant unhear this now xd
You played it perfectly, the biggest mistake was the trolls, I think you would have rolled through the objective with them. In the end was gg anyway
Insane game, well played! Love these dom matches!
gg, always nice to see festus shine
Was waiting for a live stream, but I'l take whatever I can.
When was the medusa updated? Cant see anything in patch notes
Those armored trolls too though...
