In ITD the Deathmark's forward deploy only allows him to make a normal move if he's wholly within your drop zone at the end of the scouting step (so no scouting dash) and/or operate a hatch.

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Yeah he can only open a hatch

[@Slaneshhhh]

Great episode, it inspired me to try my hierotek again and try a different playstyle.

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Let us know how you get on! Would be awesome if it makes a big difference

[@zpauga]

Thank you for this!

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Thank you for your comment & support!

[@DodgethisCZ]

Congratulation m8! :)

[@benpalin4781]

Thank you!

[@turningpointtactics6177]

He’s the hero we need

[@dmereel]

I use seize ground to bait my opponent into thinking that it is important to me. Then I funnel them in and grenade or use blast attacks.

[@turningpointtactics6177]

All about the mind games!

[@anmtabletop]

This Ben guy sounds so Mean 🍎

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Not all apples are bad apples 🍏

[@deezdrones1463]

Worst of a bad bunch I heard 🍎

[@thidhus6589]

yea but does it apply to all Bens @@turningpointtactics6177 ?

[@GFNGaming]

That dude straight up sucks, you can just tell

[@benlewton3526]

cant wait for one on how to win with Salvagers :)

[@turningpointtactics6177]

I have some short heroes getting painted up as we speak! So hopefully not long till I can get something together

[@jonrollason5709]

I mained Hierotek pre-buff for SOOOO long that the idea of them being semi-good is weird. 💀

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Haha still only semi good! Although I think they’re getting better, they could struggle vs some of the elite hunters in the meta

[@skavid4811]

@17:14 HC vs Grey Knights this weekend: Tesla instead of Gauss? The GK 2+ save makes me automatically reach for AP/Gauss, but I haven’t learned the magic of KTeam calculators yet

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Tesla makes sense vs Nurgle legionary because of their damage reduction & auto retain crit I think you’d be better running Gauss

[@skavid4811]

Thanks! Great episode

[@stephenmaclennan2610]

I see you’ve not uploaded the latest episodes to Apple Podcasts - will you be? So much easier to listen on that KZbin! Great episode what I’ve heard so far

[@turningpointtactics6177]

Ah yes! Good point I will get on that

[@davidglenn4081]

Now with the 3 APL buff for the apprentek and having the possibility to use the charge into an enemy and then bounce a shot off him, can you confirm the ruling on getting line of sight ? Can you shoot the operative you’re currently engaged with ? I’ve discussed it with my group and it looks like we can only shoot a different operative not engaged with apprentek

[@turningpointtactics6177]

I think you can’t because of the way the “select valid target step” is written

[@zaroslaw2077]

1 hand of the archon video please

[@turningpointtactics6177]

I’ll have to put some hours into mastering them

[@PurpleDingoPress]

Really great insight - I just wish the interviewee/Hierotek player made fewer mouth sounds, or that the editor cut them out. Listening to someone constantly, wetly clear their throat, smack their lips, and loudly mouth breathe into the mic so much is hard to listen to and made me not want to finish the podcast.

[@turningpointtactics6177]

We’ll work on better audio quality where we can

[@PewPewTactics]

Thank you, awesome episode. Probably putting in a few summary slides would improve it a lot!

[@turningpointtactics6177]

I’m in the process of making slides for the adversary guide so will try and get them done when I get capacity
