Setting up
First you need program to record and play keyboard presses. I'm going to use Autosofted Auto Keyboard Presser v1.7[www.autosofted.com] for this guide.



I used default settings and set script recording to F1 and playback to F2.

Second thing you need is few (high) level terminators set up in overwatch at the end of a long corridor, preferably somewhere where genestealers have to use couple turns to reach you.

I would also advice playing flash missions until you get couple good relics for you weapons and using broodlord slayer skill.


My setup in Secrets of the past map, Forge of Heroes campaign.

Launch the game once you're done setting up and leave Auto Keyboard Presser running in background.
Script
Keyboard commands needed:

F1 - Start recording
F2- Play script
1-5 - Select terminator
C - Cool weapon (storm bolter need to be cooled twice if overheated)
R - Reload weapon
T - End turn

Now, the script depends on what terminators you are using and if their weapons need to be cooled or not.



For example, i have apothecary (first terminator) with melta-combi and melee (fifth terminator) with storm bolter. Melta-combi doesn't need to be cooled but storm bolter does, so i would record my script like this:

1. Set both terminators to overwatch
2. Press F1 to start recording
3. 1 - To select apothecary
4. R - Reload
5. 5 - Select melee terminator
6. C - Cool weapon
7. C - Cool weapon
8. R - Reload
9. T - End turn
10. Press F1 to stop recording
11. Press F2 to play the script

Leave it running and it will rack +1000 kills per hour. :)
Final comments + save



Used turns and kill count after 15-20 minute test run.

Sometimes the script times so that some terminators skip their reload. Just adjust delay between keypresses if that happens. I found 1200 ms to work pretty well for my setup and have been running it for couple hours without single death.

I think i had the same problem but don't really know how to fix it. I just checked it from time to time and loaded if they were killed. I recently did the same achievement for older Space Hulk and used Autohotkey for it, and it worked much better. It probably needs some changes for SH: Ascension but here's the guide if you want to tinker with it: https://astats.astats.nl/astats/Steam_Achievement_Info.php?AchievementID=15&AppID=242570#tabs-2

I only encountered the issue, that with adding delay, some terminators if long queue will be skipped from combat scene and do not reload and die sometimes.
Any suggestion on that?
