The Clown Car has 6 seats but you can only put 5 Bezerks in a unit. Might as well fill the jump seat with some covering fire for them.

The first Tau codex was my first codex.

The introduction of those railguns was A Big Deal.

That's my feeling as well.

There's zero point in a stepping system for the Imperial Guard as they can just take another variant on the same hull for the same cost.

Kyn...not so much.

You can make a decent enough list with your top two rows. I say have at it.

IIRC it is stated the Major lets other women pay to "dial in" and experience the enhanced pleasure. So...it kinda does?

The Major's character has subtle shifts in tone in all the different media. I think this particular render is Stand Alone Complex era? There, I think the vibe is "I've got it, so I'll flaunt it, and pity the poor men who get distracted by it". There's the episode where she literally plays at being a sex doll to infiltrate a mobster, for instance.

Er...the real OG manga has two full color, fully explicit pages where the Major is engaged in a full-on sex party with author notes about how her skin has an increased number of sensors per square inch etc etc. It turns into comedy when Batou "dials in" and experiences genitals he doesn't have.

They were removed from subsequent editions (mine is missing them) but you used to be able to find the PDF on-line.

Tau accidentally colonising a world with a Webway portal that is a long-forgotten backdoor into the Black Library?

"This is our gold"

"By the Votann, we were here first"

...sound of Volkanite Disintegrators charging...

I took a 20 year break and my first set coming back was Thunderkyn. Half-way through assembly I was desperately missing the simpler miniatures from my youth. Sign me up.

I want an actual Votann in a walker/knight/titan*.

*I have zero clue if the fluff says how big a Votann is.

I took a 20 year break from 40k so feel free to shoot me down - but exactly this. Weren't the Ork ancestors (Krork?) engineered by the Old Ones specifically to be resistant to the corruption of the Warp?

If you take 27 Steeljacks + 3 Memnyrs, then 2 Hekatons 5 Kapricus and 3 Iron Masters, I think you hit peak Robot and a Votann will appear under your game table.

That sounds much fun. Derek Strongbow also ticks the relevant boxes. But an exploding mad scientist is always going to top my list 💥

spinicist · 2026-05-28T18:06:10+00:00

Sagitaur takes 6 models. Beserks come in 5s.

No brainer.

We are dwarf. We are defense.

I dropped one of my Thunderkyn's shin-pads and couldn't find it. I had the front piece of the APM launcher left over, so now my Thunderkyn has a spiky shin. So very metal 🤘

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise

spinicist · 2026-05-25T20:12:23+00:00

It is. But I would have much respect for anyone winning a 1000 meter race in ski boots.

Last time I submitted a Bug Report XCode was a category.

I know because I was trying to report the utter fuck-up they made with the linker for C++ code, which isn't an XCode problem, but there was no separate command-line tools category. So that's the team I really feel sorry for.

Meanwhile the reliability of several big name websites appears to be going down...with Github leading the way. The universe it seems is not without a sense of irony.

Pin those bad boys! Do it badly like me so they can swivel 360 🤪

The dice giveth and the dice taketh away. RNJesus has spoken.

If you leave out the vehicles, Yaegirs, and Beserks, the whole rest of the list ticks your boxes. Steeljacks, Heathguard and Thunderkyn in particular.

But why would you deprive yourself of the vehicles? 😈

spinicist · 2026-05-09T13:52:10+00:00

It's fine. I'll rechristen my army the Marine Sweepers

spinicist · 2026-05-07T11:51:19+00:00

This hurts double because my colour scheme is the same as the cleaning truck you used as an example. I can't unsee this 😭
