More or less accurate. I think because of a number of reasons that it's morally bankrupt, and I agree with the United Nations, every artist I know, and, much to my surprise, the Pope that the best way to use LLMs is to not. Furthermore, this is something that has existed for a only few short years, and everyone on this forum has lived most of their life without it. It is simply unnecessary and counterproductive for the human-engagement focused environment that B&C has cultivated over decades, and will only harm the community. There is a beautiful spark of creativity in every single person who comes to this forum, and I want to see that grow, not be stifled and crushed under the weight of slop we see in so many other places. I come back here again and again over the years because I want to see all of these human endeavors in art flourish.

you can block users which hides and minimizes anything they post (so you have to click in to see them)

If I had my druthers, anyone who intentionally used any genAI/LLM in any way would be banned, zero tolerance, and any unintentional use would be removed with a warning. Since that seems to not be the route this is heading, I'd like to see as much of the following as possible: 1. extremely harsh penalties for intentionally feeding anything posted in the forum into AI, even indirectly. ("How do I respond to..." or photo editing style prompts, mostly) 2. a tagging system for every genAI/LLM involved piece of content that tags at the top, so I can safely ignore it 3. a system to autoblock all genAI/LLM tagged content 4. a system to autoblock all users who have posted any genAI/LLM tagged content, even their non-tagged content.

Excited to hopefully have the full period for painting this time. (and thus finish the models I've hardly touched since last time, even though a good chunk of them are past the allowable point for scoring).

Still haven't finished my vow from last year *however*, I did get more paint down attempting it than I have since ETL days. So I'm definitely in again, and hopefully I can finish painting my current stuff that is too far along to revow before this one starts up!

feels kinda skaveny, tbh. I might get one for a headswap depending on how the sprue is split up I like it as a mini, but it doesn't seem focused to me for ork weirdboy specifically

The fact that the head is specifically called out as word bearers (and not just a clearly word bearers inspired head included in the generic CSM options) means this seems extremely likely.

most of the character models

weren't the orks in the scouring more elite than the current horde? overall, scouring with xenos could be used as a sort of TOW equivalent, for good and/or bad

the 4th edition chaos codex did in fact happen in 4th edition, so yes. Not at the beginning of 4th, but certainly when updated to 4th point costs and the like.

It'd be interesting if we found out that Yarrick did die and they've done some cloning behind the scenes. It would feel like something Yarrick might order though: "The Orks think I am too stubborn to die, so by the throne, I will be. Make a new one, and get it right this time!"

I like the proportions on the new model, a marked improvement for me over the previous, but keeping all the good stuff the previous one had, it seems.

Really want to see a video of the paint handle in use, because it *looks* terrible, but I wonder if there's some trick to it that isn't going to just stress the plastic to snapping in a few months.

except chaos, of course, who lost those options in 4th

The hive mind psyker is similar to the mindwitch from the dark commune, I wonder if that is convergent evolution or direct inspiration.
