Fuck this model I swear

5912.jpg
 
I bought this on marketplace for a Sanguinius kitbash (eventually) and the model looks excellent. Ive even seen some St Michael kitbashes where they reverse the spear, creating a plunging attack. Thats what I'll eventually do with some demon on the base.

The paint job is excellent just btw, no way I would be capable of that.

Side note, check your fb marketplace. Ive walked away with a generous Eldar collection, not army but collection for 1.5k dollarydoos in the last year. Thats 2-3 of most models, nib or nos. A lifetime of painting ahead of me but thats maybe a quarter or fifth of the cost to buy it from the LGS with their discounts. You could go further and do salvage jobs for even less.
 
Invite him over for a 500 point game on a small board. He can bring more, just mix and match models up to the point limit and play quick games. If you cant host, pick them up and take them to the store.
I've tried something similar to that, but he won't list build at all. I've even tried the opposite of totaling up his collection and then building something to match it, but that didn't work either.


Related. I know I'm late, but supposedly the new Combat Patrol ...isn't. It's just a hobby and lore primer. Something that used to be free, then $10 with a practice mini. The "lists" are excusive to the app, and it's just 40k rules. Maybe they'll do an overhaul sometime during 11th, but it's a shame it's not Spearhead 40k.

It's kind of a show of GWs greed honestly. Sigmar isn't doing well, and Spearhead is it's most popular mode of play, so they had to flesh it out to keep selling models. Combat Patrol as far as I understand it hasn't been popular at all, and 2k point games are so ingrained into 40k that it's hard to get people to downsize. 40k also sells way way more than Sigmar ever will, so they probably don't want to lock you into a combat patrol and support the mode like they do Spearhead because then you won't buy new models to fill up your army.

But that could just be me talking out of my ass
 
they move like Napoleon TW but can take cover
Makes sense, actually. A 100 man block of Guardsmen is roughly a full platoon, which is tiny by Total War standards, and realistically you wouldn't send troops to the front in smaller numbers even IRL, and especially 40k in general given the scale and Armageddon in particular where an entire platoon getting sent to the Throne to live eternal at the Emperor's side happens so frequently as to be yawn-inducing.
 
So Razorfist is being a bit of a fag as usual

Most of the Warhammer games that have come out recently have been pretty decent and Battletech is still very much a niche franchise that's split between two owners
I'll concede its an IP thats hard to make good games about at times. Im surprised they went the total war route rather than Stellaris + Ground Invasions but its just the usual drama farming by 'content creators'. Even the term is some newspeak bs instead of artist because they know that they arent real artists.

Get a real job.

Battletech is already more niche than 40k, but the bulk of the battletech fanbase wants to have mechs shooting at eachother. This is obvious to anyone with a brain. There have been TTRPGs.. but those have always been way more niche than even the 40k TTRPGs. Who does he expect to fund a fucking CRPG that would have a niche audience, within an already niche audience?

I could also see a total war Battletech becoming a thing but even then it'd be weird since most Battletech conflicts in lore are relatively small scale, like ten to twenty Mechs per side on the bigger battlefields
 
I find it funny that people make fun of Guilliman for being statesman-like and autistic about things like tax codes and shit, when you remember that everyone in Ultramar is like that. Currently reading Enforcer where the main character is from Ultramar and this scene popped up.

MG-Dyel, Hazhim, Don-Croix, Ephaeda. She was sure she had exhausted the court libraries in each one by the time she had been reposted, but she couldn’t remember any treatises about that wrench that came from being dropped into an unfamiliar world where you couldn’t take your most fundamental assumptions about things for granted. Perhaps one day she would write one herself.

And one thing she would be damned sure to put in a whole chapter on, she promised herself as she reached for the next slate, was culture shock. It is a fact to which I would commend my reader’s attention, she wrote in her head, that although the faith and dedication of the Adeptus Arbites is as steadfast as the Emperor’s light itself, as you travel across all the Imperium’s worlds you will find our order addressing its duties in ways unfamiliar to you and for this you must be prepared. I shall recite my own experiences in passing from Ephaeda to the world of Hydraphur…

Is that one of the Shira Calpurnia books? Yeah, she's quite Ultramarian in outlook. Everything must be in its proper place, the law upheld, and none above it, even herself. The bit at the end of the first book where she decides to instruct the partying bint she smacked in the face with her baton on the moral necessity of her doing so was hilarious.

Yeah I'm reading the omnibus right now it's been a very enjoyable read so far
 
Being obsessed with regs might be a way to protect you from Nurgle, TBF. Btech issue is that the lore is stuck with the Clan invasion in most of the videogames.

Makes me worried. I’m getting Empire Total War flashbacks. Which also had troops taking cover and garrisoning building while promising a truly grand campaign of conquest but when it came down to release France was just Paris, AI still couldn’t do naval landings, and every battle wasn’t epic it was just a siege. TWW shows they fixed things a bit where garrisons are dependent on buildings and done away with navies completely and forcing recruitment with a general so you’re not fighting endless single units the AI likes would do. Looking at you medieval 2 with those 1 unit of spearmen laying siege to a full stack castle.

I guess I have to see more of the campaign itself really. I think my biggest thing with TWW was with all the factions I had no idea what to build. 40k, yeah I know the units and stats and what to bring a bit better. Plus I started with TWW2 as the colonial empire campaign and kitting around as a battle was off putting. And then I found out you can solo armies like that too with some heroes. Just didn’t feel fun.
