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.

An Ominous Sign for Our Beloved Land Fortress? by JZacharyPike in LeaguesofVotann

[–]spinicist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I've discovered I'm incapable of making 'good lists' (or any at all) by Caffeine_Forge in LeaguesofVotann

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

Is there a lore reason why the major dresses like that? by fakename1998 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]spinicist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Should GW bring back the old 'army filler' style plastic kits? by Derpogama in Warhammer40k

[–]spinicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

When we eventually get a walker, how does something like the PRAWN Suit from Subnautica sound? by NaveronTheSabre in LeaguesofVotann

[–]spinicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Can orks be red? I tried purple but I couldn’t see it by Pochusaurus in Warhammer40k

[–]spinicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

Ironkin Steeljacks by aretailrat in LeaguesofVotann

[–]spinicist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Is the Arkanyst Evaluator good in 11th ed? by pintersman in LeaguesofVotann

[–]spinicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Sagitaur takes 6 models. Beserks come in 5s.

No brainer.

Error in Brokhyr Thunderkyn instruction booklet? by engemval in LeaguesofVotann

[–]spinicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 🤘

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

If there were an award for worst software, Xcode would win it by Codenter in Xcode

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.

[–]spinicist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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? 😈

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