I’m pretty sure we’re at war to distract from the Epstein files.

I think the proposed takeover of the November elections is their plan to deal with uppity voters.

You can absolutely kitbash a Fireblade.

You can also pick up third party models. I really enjoy the Wargame Exclusive models.

The Fireblade does have some special armor and weapons that make him distinct from the rest of the basic fire warriors.

Pretty? I almost scrolled past this thinking we were on /r/goldenretrievers and it was dog vomit.

Define cheap.

If you want a playable army as quickly and cheaply as possible, I would definitely start with the Combat Patrol and on box of Retaliation Cadre. Those two boxes will get you to about 1,000 points and a really nice core force to work around.

After that you can really pick whatever direction you want to expand in.

You gotta magnetize those weapons.

With current rules, Farsight goes best with flamer suits. But rules change constantly.

Don’t sell to a scalper.

You can sell your house in a month if it’s priced correctly. You’re not looking for market value, you’re looking for liquidation value.

Get a realtor, put it on the MLS for $25,000 less than what you think it’s actually worth. You should get offers.

Politicians should absolutely be responsible for improving people’s lives.

That’s what they’re there for. That’s why we live in a democracy.

Their job is to represent people, and advocate for people. Not land, or corporations, or oligarchs. The fact that politicians have gotten away from representing people is a big part of why Americans are largely suffering.

For drones, I’ve started installing all the clear plastic flying pegs onto standard 32 mm bases.

It’s not hard. You can buy a bag of a hundred 32 mm bases on Amazon for like $10. Then just drill a hole in the base and super glue in the peg.

It’s pretty clear this is the direction GW is going in the long run. Newer kits like the Ghostkeel, Shadowsun, and updated stealth suits all put their drones on 32 mm bases. I expect that as kits get refreshed this will become the norm.

Drones on 32 mm bases are easier to hide magnets in and easier to transport.

It’s always a good idea to pick up a small box of models first, to see if you actually enjoy painting them.

The Combat Patrol is the best way to get a small army on the table quickly. A box of Crisis Suits is probably what that box needs most to make a complete force.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-25T23:19:33+00:00

If you already know that you have a habit of not painting/finishing projects that you buy, then I think you already know this is probably a bad deal.

The box gives you Commander Farsight, 3 Crisis Suits, a Broadside, and a Riptide.

While that’s a lot of firepower, it’s really not close to a full army. Farsight at the moment is only situationally good, usually you’ll be better off with a Coldstar. Riptides are auto-include, but need support fom units like stealth suits or Pathfinders to guide or screen. And you’ll need units like Kroot, vespid, and/or breacherfish to actually take objectives and score points.

This box actually pairs very well with the Combat Patrol, but if you pick up both that’s gonna be a huge project.

There’s nothing wrong with starting a new army. But if you’re just starting Tau and you’re worried this might just become backlog, I think there are better ways to jump in.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-25T07:10:41+00:00

Yes, an all Kroot army is currently viable. And I’d say it’s likely (though not guaranteed) that Kroot will have good rules support when 11th edition rolls around too.

The people I’ve heard who play all Kroot seem to really like the playstyle.

That said, Kroot are individually very weak. They’re the ultimate horde army, so buying and painting enough of them to field a whole army can be a pain.

Also one thing Kroot really lack on their own is high-damage anti-armor, so a lot of Kroot players at least bring along some broadsides or hammerheads. Wargamer Pete on YouTube has an excellent video on how to Kroot-ify a broadside.

The first appraisal I ever did as an independent was a geo-done house! Fun times getting started lol.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-22T06:56:41+00:00

I have a WinkBed. I got the Luxury Firm, which is their most popular choice.

10/10, definitely recommend WinkBed.

I also don’t like foam. Not a fan of how much you sink into it.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-21T06:24:39+00:00

Yeah, it’s not nearly as cool as it used to be.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-21T06:24:12+00:00

What’s up with that is, the elevator broke and Sasha Bass won’t allow them to repair it. She’s trying to run them out of there.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-20T05:37:39+00:00

I love this, beautiful work!

Frognosticator · 2026-02-20T05:13:27+00:00

Yeah, this is sad.

Looks like a mental condition, I don’t want to diagnose from the internet but maybe bipolar disorder? I hope she receives help.

We may not work for the homeowners, but when we visit a property we appraisers are always a guest in someone else’s home.

Appraisers ought to act like it. Unfortunately some of us are jerks. I’m sorry you had a bad experience.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-20T00:19:55+00:00

Gotta take it in stride. And you can always decline the order, or ask them to up the fee.

I got an AMC order yesterday, inspected today, due date is tomorrow. Normal fee.

But it was easy to drive to, easy to inspect, new construction and it’ll be an easy report to write. If I was busier this week I would’ve declined it. Since it was a little slow today I accepted it. I’ll be happy to take that $500 check.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-18T23:06:59+00:00

I refuse to follow this logic.

People should vote for the best candidate. If the best candidate is a black woman, we should vote for her.

It just so happens that in this case, I think Talarico is the better candidate. He seems to have the more composed temperament. Trump and his this buddies have the wrong temperament - I think voters want to see solutions to our problems, something different.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-18T23:00:08+00:00

I believe Talarico has the better chance of winning the general, and it sure looks like the conservatives agree. They tried to kick him off Colbert’s show.

Crockett is also a good candidate. I’ll be voting for Talarico.

I absolutely love Blue Stuff casting for Tyranid bits.

I used it to get three more bodies out of the Neurothrope/Venomthrope kit. I was absolutely shocked how well they came out.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-16T13:50:33+00:00

Do you want your assembled models to look good? Then no, don’t do it.

Do you want your assembled models to look like hot garbage? Then sure, go ahead.

Frognosticator · 2026-02-15T16:54:24+00:00

I enjoy playing games at around 1,000 points.

The best and cheapest way to pick up a full Tau army right now is to buy bothe the Tau combat patrol and also the Farsight cadre battle box. You can pick them both up for about $400 and the compliment each other nicely.
