I wish T'au had more infantry support. Breachers are the only unit that has any presence on the board. Stealth suits just sit in the back spotting. Ethereals only give you CP on a coin flip. Compared to literally everything in your unit shooting an extra time it's hard to justify taking one. I would've liked to see a detachment that focused more on units buffing other units like the army rule does. With stratagems like Combat Embarkation/Debarkation it could've focused on hit and run tactics which is very on brand for T'au. Bring back Orbital Ion Beam too because it's fun. Retaliation Cadre has some of hit and run, but it wants you to use the same battlesuits that you're already using in every other detachment.
I'll be honest I haven't been keeping up with the codex stuff since I don't actually play (yeah yeah, nomodel fag here, but I have at least played the shit out of Dawn of War and the Spess Mehrine games) but it seems like Fire Warriors have been shafted hard by battlesuits ever since 7e when they let you take nine Crisis suits in a single unit and Breachers do the close support role infinitely better.

Breachers can do insane damage. Infantry is so weak this edition that breachers can wipe entire units, especially if they're on a point. My brother plays guard and if he takes a point with cadians I roll 30 dice and they all crumble. Strike teams are less accurate, less strong, and no AP. Their 30" range is literally their only advantage. If you play with a competitive terrain layout that 30" is rarely getting used.

Not that I don't like Crisis Suits, but they are such an auto include because they replace your infantry. They're better, faster, stronger, and are actually built to perform a role. I wish Strike Teams would at least give you sticky objectives. I don't know why Kroot are the only ones who can.
 
So, if I wanted to start a second army. Would sisters of battle be good enough? Cause, Im lookin at their Battleforce box and Combat Patrol one and the former seems kinda weak sauce, unless I get both boxes.
 
Lords of Silence

Other sources had them, if not pastoral, than at least not monoculture. Nobles need their exotic food too.

I imagine Forges just recycle nutrients. They got the power output for it, and I don't think servitors care about what nutrients they get circulated in with the 40 thousandth time.
 
I only come here to see if someone posted their minis. I don't want to read fucking essays about troon crusades and why black marines bad and doomposting about female astartes (for the eight time this month). I suppose it's natural because tabletop is for autists, but damn holy fuck how do you not get bored discussing the same shit over and over again?


Tell me it's not just me who thinks Titus looks like absolute shit?
I'm not sure I get your point. You say you want people to just post minis, then complain about an animation looking like shit. It's part of the problem. I agree there are those who talk about it too much, but there's also people who bury their heads in the sand and pretend what's happening isn't happening.

I learned something strange during downtime. Supposedly GW and FLGS don't allow you to play games any more. GW will make an exception if you're asking for an intro game, but that's it. I find that hard to believe and insane if true. Supposedly this has been the norm since COVID, but even pre-covid playing in store was considered bad for business, since players are not buying product.

I've been wanting to get into sisters for ages and from what I understand, both arent great. Old combat patrol was better but sisters dont have a box that gives you either good core or good building blocks.

Remain patient or start buying pieces separately.

That's pretty interesting. I may be misremembering but I'm wondering why the agri world in the rogue trader game was so different and allowed to be less cleansed. I'm assuming rogue traders have more leeway over their domains.

I am not sure which ones, but other books did also have them with more plant types and breathable air.

Nobles getting their exotic foods that cost more than a worker's entire lifelong pay has been a thing in the setting for a long time.

Like wheat, wineries, grox heards, the Administratum's planetary head pen pusher won't be eating corpse starch.

It could be grown in a hive hydroponics but never heard of that happening.
 
Also, now his girlfriend has a channel where she produces garbage

Hatty from Midwinter Minis posted a Q&A video recently, which is largely really boring and makes her out to be a bit of a boring bitch. Sadly, nobody asked "How do you live with yourself?"

However, I have clipped the only mildly interesting bit:



And I think it's interesting for a number of reasons, but chief among them, her use of the phrase, "We're still friends."

Remember, while Guy fucking Hatty behind his wife's back while she was pregnant with his twins is common knowledge to the people that regularly read this thread, Midwinter Minis have not actually issued an official statement with regard to Hatty and Guy's relationship at all - as far as their casual viewership is concerned, Guy is just her employer.

Why would anybody need to clarify that they're still friends with their employer?

So, yeah, in conclusion

LOL BITCH GOT DUMPED! :story:
 
I wonder what she sees in that prick who treats both her and his ex like doormats. One would think that she could do much better.

With that forehead? She looks like a fucking beluga whale.

"Hey there, guys! Welcome to Hatty Haunts!"

I don't know if I feel sorry for her or not, to be honest. It is a bit pitiful that she's now basically reduced to hanging around as Guy's skivvy doing menial work like packing his merch orders, but on the other hand, she knew what she was getting into, and fucking your new boss behind his wife's back, when he's got two eleven month old babies at home is a really shitty thing to do, even before we factor in that it was his wife who encouraged him to hire you.

Personally, I wonder who Guy's going to be monkey branching onto next. Do we think it'll be Rogue Hobbies? I saw her in the comments section of Hatty's video.

I'm reading A Thousand Sons, and have since lost respect for Leman Russ. Even before Nikea, he had it out for Magnus because "durr, Psykers bad!"

You have to be a real knuckle-dragging shithead for Lorgar, the Fredo Corleone of the primarchs, to intervene and look like the voice of reason to prevent you from committing unprovoked fratricide.

(And me running a Dark Angels army doesn't help my opinion of the Space Wolves. Talk shit, get hit, furboys).

I'm also scrubbing down and repainting my first Orks because I want to make them look better.

The battleforce is useless unless you already have an army started. The combat patrol is okay, but it would have been better if they'd put Retributors or Seraphim in instead of the Celestians.

That passage has become controversial among lorefags for that reason. Rogue Trader, Ciaphas Cain, and other sources have shown us agri-worlds that don't look like the first five minutes of the Blade Runner sequel. Some are almost pleasant to live on, even, aside from the constant backbreaking labor. It's definitely one of those things where the writer wanted to ramp up the grimdark without necessarily considering the ramifications of making all agricultural planets look like that.

Because they still want to keep up the ruse that it wasn't a sexual relationship and that's what drove Guy and Penny apart. You can't just swoop in and be the new hoe and expect the audience to be completely on board. The audience still seems willfully ignorant and wants to believe that it's a purely platonic friendship of two people who happen to paint Warhammer minis together.

Never feel sorry for someone who got exactly what they wanted. She made her bed, she can lie in it.

I haven't read all the books around Russ but it seems like he has very little remorse over his action. He makes every excuse for himself. It's not his fault, he was tricked. It's not his fault, Magnus was evil anyways. It's not his fault, he's just doing his job. Russ feels bad that Magnus is gone, but doesn't feel responsible. He cannot or will not accept that Prospero was entirely his fault and there is no one else to blame.

At any point he could have realized that Prospero was clearly defenseless and confused by the attack. In some stories sure he tried to reach Magnus first, but there were billions of civilians begging for mercy and trying to surrender and not once did the Space Wolves change tactic. Even when face to face with Magnus he didn't try to redeem his brother. He didn't try to make peace he just killed him. In this regard Magnus is also to blame for not trying to surrender or offer his own life for his people. I hardly hold that against him though when the Space Wolves have made it very clear they will accept nothing short of Total Thousand Son Death.

The thing is, you'd literally never say something like that in any other circumstance. You'd never say, for example, "Yeah, my boss had to let me go, but we're still friends," and it'd be a bit weird if you did say that. She's explaining her working situation, so all she had to say, if anything at all, was 'I've had my hours reduced, but I'm still employed by Midwinter Minis and I'm not leaving'.

The only reason you'd ever say to someone that "We're still friends," in this kind of context, is after a relationship breakup, if you wanted to reassure people the situation was amicable.

lol, that's also some funny shit admitting she can't be there when the kids are there, because of course Penny would probably be pissed about her being around when he drops them off for Guy's part of the custody or whatever. Also if she's only working 1 day a week or whatever, that's pathetic. She was working at GW previously, and it probably wasn't a glamorous job but it was also probably regular work. "I painted some minis and packed merch for a youtube personality" isn't exactly much of a resume builder.

Haven't read that one yet myself, but yes Leman Russ comes off as a retard most of the time to be honest. It's especially stupid with the "durr, psykers bad!" because the whole fucking planet supports psykers "these aren't psykers, they're our rune priests, and gothi and wyrd, and blah blah blah"

I'm pretty sure it was while she was pregnant.

I was under that impression too, but posts from Penny on Reddit (under the name 'ozzborne') indicate that the twins were 11 months old at the time they separated.

However, I wouldn't've thought you'd just move in a new woman a month or whatever after talking to her and then suddenly decide, seemingly on a whim, to throw your whole family away for her, so I would imagine they were fucking long before that, while Penny was pregnant.

Obviously he waited until she'd given birth to his children to leave her.

What a lovely bloke Guy is.
