    Here's something I just learned: the carnifex can continue to attack your units even after it has used up all its action points!

    I stumbled onto the carnifex in A9M1, my T4 blood angel assault marine had one AP left, so he couldn't run far enough away. Not to worry though! He'd chopped up a few bugs along the way so by now his dodge % was around 50.

    The carnifex all but two of his attacks, my valiant blood angel takes about 1/3 of his health from counter attacking, I was relieved! He'd weathered the storm... But Lo, the foul xenos continued to attack two more times after all of its AP were used and slayed brother-captain Tycho, veteran officer of the first company, hero of the deathwatch. Praise the emperor!

    Also: which chapters have the best T4 marines? I lucked out and have a T4 BA Tac Marine and the T4 meltagun. I also have a T4 space wolf and BA assault marine, the space wolf's passives seem much more effective. I have two space wolves so I wonder if I should just use both of them and put my BA assault marine on the bench, I have most of his skills unlocked and he doesn't hold a candle to the wolf

    There are people in the beta who have played multiplayer, the reasons it hasn't been released aren't our fault, its an iOS issue.

    The iOS9 gamecenter issue still remains the last I heard, i'll try and find out a bit more.

    I'm sorry I haven't been active for the last month but things have been happening though. Sadly, this will be my last post in an official capacity as at the end of the month I will be leaving Rodeo.

    Hopefully I'll still be able to get info for you guys and if you want to chat you can hit me up on twitter.

    But as always, any questions or issues please contact support@rodeogames and hopefully someone will get back to you.

    This issue is fixed in 1.3.

    Marines are only unlocked from card packs, not end of mission rewards.

    Some general help/info

    Hi all,

    Hope to gather some help/info about this game.

    ATM i'm in normal-mode A9M2 and am pretty much rolling around with my team.
    My team currently consists of:
    3x T3 UM Tacticals
    1x T4 UM Tactical
    1x T4 SW Assault (which i pulled after act2 WITH a T4 chainsword --> *BEST* *CARDPACK* *EVAH*)

    All decently leveled.
    My tactics atm mostly consist of hanging back with my T's and overwatching and flanking with my A, "backchaining" all the huge-ass biggies. But now i'm wondering if i'd need a (good, at least T3) Devastator to dish out some big damage, especially when i'm going into the Veteran campaign. If so what would be the preferred weapon to give him?
    Reason i'm wondering about a change in my team is the trouble i'm already having when facing some big dudes (carnifex, broodlord, etc) with only my A to dish the big damage.
    So basically: what would be the ideal team-composition?

    Another Q: does a broodlord count as a "Large unit"? Wou;d be good to know if beast slayer is useful to use against them

    Yet another Q: Plasma vs Bolt, which would be preferable? personally i HATE the 15% overheat, but it might be worth it in the end?

    Also, any other general tips/hints would be appreciated :)

    TiA!

    New Note:

    HOLY COW! just finished a9m4: BARELY... with 2 guys left I sacrificed 1 guy to the Hive Tyrant and with the other one i just *RAN* for the checkpoint... How in the name of Zeuses butthole can you finish this map in regular style? This mission makes me VERY afraid for VeteranMode...

    FFS why isn't this game compatible with iPad minis (not mini 2). Plenty of high production quality games (e.g. WoT Blitz) are fine with older devices.

    I find the devastators too slow to be much use, the heavy weapons cost 2-3 ap, I just don't seem to get them in range before my other marines have killed the target. But that's just my experience from normal, we'll see what veteran holds for me. I have a Sternguard with the T4 melta gun and a lone wolf who I rely on for taking down the big mobs

    Plasma, lots of plasma!

    For the missions with the big beasties, defo need plasma gun & cannon. Use charged shots and delaying tactics with stun grenades and your Lone Wolf with Oath of Immortality.
    I completed normal level with 3 Assault who delay, 1 Devastator with plasma and 1 Tactical with plasma. When no beasties or defending I switched to bolters. For Heroic, I had 2 Lone Wolf, 2 Wolf Guard (1 bolter & 1 Flamer) & 1 Long Fang... I made a mess ;)

    Lone wolf will continue to dominate. You might find your T3 tacticals don't have enough punch for the step up in hp that the tyranids have
