Midwinter minis done with 40k-ish
Cpt_Reaper replied to Inquisitor_Lensoven's topic in + AMICUS AEDES +
These drama farming doomtubers are, without a doubt, the worst thing to happen to any hobby. Followed by anyone who uses AI generated thumbnails. Seriously, they damage the hobby so much. Their reach is much further than I think even they understand. It's one thing that people who have been in the hobby for more than one edition have opinions, even if I disagree with said opinions, but I am seeing new players enter into the hobby space with opinions on games (not just from GW) that are fundamentally wrong. The most upsetting thing is that if I try to suggest that statements like "too much homework" maybe, possibly are not correct and are parroting these infernal drama farmers who either have only played for less than a few years or have no skin in the game at all gets met with "shut up shill". I left a local club because the president loudly announced nobody should listen to me because I am a "frothing fanboy" for the audacity to suggest that at the time Tyranids weren't unplayable only his hyper specific niche list was no longer viable and to ask if he had tried a different playstyle. When I hear someone isn't enjoying the hobby my first thought isn't "I hate you". It is "let me help you find your enjoyment again." If I cannot do that and you genuinely want to leave the hobby then I'd rather have tried to help then not at all. However...it's not an airport terminal. Don't be a drama farmer and announce your departure. Sincerely, the frothing shill. -
Edge highlighting looks terrible in general on hard surfaces. "But I need to simulate light hitting the model!" Ignore what 'Eavy Metal tells you.

What characters would you like to see as models?
Cpt_Reaper replied to Kaede45's topic in + AMICUS AEDES +
I'd like to see Captain Aramus of the Blood Ravens. We had Chapter Master Angelos from Forge World, but a plastic character in the main Codex would be swell. The Blood Ravens deserve something mainline. -
I'm that guy that just has to be different. If there is a mystery, the answer must eventually be known. Even if the answer isn't satisfying. Now, I don't think everything is a mystery. Take the two missing Primarchs. The questions of who were they and what did they do have an answer. Something that got them both removed from all records. That's the answer. No more mystery. The Terminus Decree was a mystery. What's in the box? Now we know...the Grey Knights have a job to do. Mystery answered. Another is the fate of Alpharius. Alpharius is dead. For realsies, no take-backs. Omegon may or may not be dead, and that will need a definitive answer one day. In short if GW knows the answer to a question or scenario they posed us they must answer it at some point.

Until I know more about this Dominatus Deck, I'm not giving up Crusade. However, I am open to it being good. Great even. But I need to study this deck (because WarCom won't give enough info before I get it). I loved 10th, and I always said it just needed fine-tuning. Crusade was not an aspect that needed fixing, it was fine as is. Too much book-keeping? The Venn diagram between RPG players and wargamers is nearly a perfect circle. Too much book-keeping...Bah I say!

Iron Warriors 40k teaser
Cpt_Reaper replied to Tolmeus's topic in + NEWS, RUMORS, AND BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS +
I disagree that it's a Defiler. The arm on the claw is way too small. More likely it's a venomcrawler dual kit unless the defiler is going to be drastically different...which is not something I look forward to. I just want a HD texture pack for the defiler, not a complete redesign. -
I'd do it one of two ways: You may take a single allied detachment, which may not be more than 25% of your entire army and must share a faction keyword (Imperium, Chaos, Aeldari, Tyranids). The allied detachment loses the Battleline keyword for any units it brings in. Do away with soup/allies all together. It clearly doesn't work and any way GW does it will be the wrong way.

Game design, "balance", "fun" and how they interact
Cpt_Reaper replied to Antarius's topic in + AMICUS AEDES +
I am glad the FoC is dead. Even when GW offered alternative FoCs built around non-troops they were inherently worse than the basic version. Sure, you could use a Spearhead detachment and bring just Heavy Support, but then you start with less Command Points than a Battalion with Troops as minimum. Plus you can only have up to 2 Elites and Fast Attack. What if you needed 3? At that point you may as well take the Battalion, but then you must take 3 Troops which eats into your points. I have complained about the FoC since 5th Edition. It was restrictive for no real reason other than the "troops win wars" mentality that seemed to be the only defence I heard when I asked to leave my Troops at home and just run what I wanted to. The trade off for running nothing but terminators, or an armoured company, or entirely too many Hellions was they cost more points. The only thing I want back, and I still don't know why GW thought it was a good idea, is wargear points and points per model. Those are the only two things I miss. I will never miss the FoC. -

Karanak and the Seeker Chariot. Both of which are available Online Only (although the latter is currently Temporarily Out of Stock) -
New Balance Dataslate just dropped

No update to Guard Legends document, so Infantry Squads and Krieg Marshals are still just gone (despite the latter being referenced in the Legendary Units document) I am not surprised, yet still disappointed. -
The day I use anything other than Revell Contacta is the day I've been replaced with a changeling. Also on the clogged needle, I pull it out from the bottle and hold it with a set of pliers. Run a lighter over it and it'll burn the glue out. DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE NEEDLE IN THE BOTTLE.
