Hands are shaky from lack of practice. But boy am I clad I went solar watch.

Geedubs is introducing cylindrical d6s in Sigmar. If they come to 40k I think they'd look cool in a Necron scheme, however I don't know how I'd like rolling 20-30 of them(or paying what Geedubs wants for that many)

It's really too bad Tomb Kings are gone, because those look Tomb Kings AF.

The only time they would probably make sense is with the upcoming Sons of Behemat faction (which is all-giants), because they'll be about making relatively few rolls, but those they make are really damaging.

I wish I would've bought some of those extra-bouncy Squig dice. Those things are running almost $40.

Hm. So I varnished my Tac Squad I'm working on, and must have overdid it with one of them, as there's a little bit of cloudy bubbling on one of them where I must have left a little too much varnish on it and it built up a bit (like ~1mm of excess).,

Not quite sure what to do with that. Hopefully it will vanish after drying for a few days? I read something about using rubbing alchohol and a q-tip but I'd be worried about leaving a textured bit on it.

Shows how fucking boring the primaris models are.

I could forgive boring, but the designers missed the point of the Imperium in 40k. The Imperium is industrial-gothic punk. Their most common tank is a futuretech snow plow that they just happened to repurpose as a tank because it's literally all they have to work with. They literally rub random oils and sprinkle holy incense over it because they don't know how to make it work other than that + it has a psychotic, half-insane AI trapped inside that is just looking for an excuse to kill itself and everyone around it.

But not Primaris-Imperium, they're tooling around in perfectly working brand new hovertanks wielding platoons of plasma guns in identical, mass produced neo-futuretech armor.

Give me Primaris in a mix of pieces of Mk X, Mk 8, and Mk 6 armor, the occasional cybernetic arm or leg, with semi-random versions of their guns and I'd be a lot happier.

It's kind of a general problem in 40K that the level of technology isn't that clear. One book will have the Mechanicus having pretty in depth knowledge of the inner working of their tech, a second book will have them completely ignorant, and a third one will have them pretending to be retarded so they can keep the shiniest toys.

As far as I can tell, all 3 are true at the same time, due to some of them taking the religious part seriously and others being actual engineers. IIRC, this wasn't uncommon in the dark ages religious schools, either, so...

Regardless, they simply don't have the time and environment required to learn how the tech really works, so the cargo cult bullshit is literally the best solution to a bad situation they have.
 
Plebians, having to worry about technology. Imagine not having your own master class artificers spending 100 years creating your equipment inside The Emperor's palace. Imagine not playing custodes.

I hear the Salamanders and Iron Hands smuckling while saying "just The Emperor's Palace?" under their breath.
