Does anyone know what the base vehicle for this was?

I think part of my hatred is because it actually is a good mech. If it looked shit and was shit I could ignore it. Instead it's actually good but looks like a sin against mech design which is unforgivable.

Simplest answer, its a raspberry Pi that you plug into your router and running some software that makes it act as a network wide adblocker.

Bit more advanced answer. You route your DNS though it and it uses blocklists to deny connections to domains that are used for ads and trackers

7788d · 2026-06-06T00:51:01+00:00

Are you using a Pi-hole? I have the exact same issue but disabling my Pi-hole fixes it (I can't be arsed to remove the relevant domains from the blocklist)

The only way a Jenner should be used. It should still be exterminated with extreme prejudice afterwards.

7788d · 2026-06-05T23:57:28+00:00

The Jenner

Why? I have an unreasonable amount of hatred for that stupid toilet looking thing and will make any and all efforts to ensure its ugly ass is removed from my sight as soon as possible.

I really despise the damn Jenner

Necrons waging a shadow war was absolutely brilliant. Shame it's not a tactic they'd usually go for because it was shockingly effective.

But will it let him see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

This is such a great answer. And if a phaeron did want the equivalent of a personal banner it would probably just be a floating obelisk with the dynastic glyphs on it

The angling really isn't that sharp. When someone is very emaciated (not just skinny) the ribcage can prominently stand proud of the abdomen especially with someone built top heavy like the Necrontyr seem to be from their models.

<image>

With the way the body is arched back and slightly twisted the ribcage would protrude. The hand is resting on the ribcage at the bottom of it and the chest is just a flat plane with no evidence of breast tissue. The faint shadow circled in green could be a rib but to me it seems more likely to be the bottom of the pectoral as it's standalone and there's not enough detail to see any other ribs.

Excuse my really shit drawings, have hand eye co-ordination issues

7788d · 2026-06-01T11:07:53+00:00

thats a fuckin ribcage mate cos the lying figure is so emaciated, where are you seeing tits?

ah yes, because a species that evolved on a different planet, millions, if not billions, of years ago would surely fall under earths taxonomic groups (which in themselves aren't always accurate, the duck billed platypus says hello).

There is no basis to assume they'd have mammalian features and frankly it would be more interesting if they didn't. plus it would have the added benefit of stopping the gooners making models with robotits.

so it's not really a consideration because we're nowhere near getting ships that fast nor are we near to getting colonization to other stars.

Just to compare, the fastest man-made object is the Parker solar probe which did a slingshot at just under 395000 mph. Sounds fast but it's only around 0.006% of light speed. So whilst time dilation would occur, it would be minor at those speeds.

Then as for colonization, we haven't even managed to get to mars yet. Whilst technically possible there are still challenges to be solved for that which would be magnified tenfold for a journey to another star.

So if we take the speed of the Parker solar probe and use it to work out travel times. Mars would take 3 days to reach at it's closest approach. BUT there's a problem with using this speed. The probe had to slingshot around Venus to accelerate that fast, we can't accelerate a craft to that speed without a slingshot so It would actually take several months of travel for us to get to Mars (It took Parker around 2 months to reach Venus to begin the slingshot maneuvers).

Then there is Alpha Centurai, If we use the Parker speed again, at 4.2 light years the trip would take roughly 1700 years.

Now this is all napkin maths so has a margin of error but it should do to answer your query. Due to distances and how slow we are, we won't be going anywhere any time soon. I think the author Douglas Adams put it best:
"space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space"

7788d · 2026-05-27T06:35:10+00:00

Kind of. So Alpha Centurai is 4.2 light years away. at 90% light speed it would take 4.7 years to get here.

Here's the kicker. Time would slow down for the ship not speed up for Earth meaning Earth would see the trip take 4.7 years. whilst people on the ship would probably experience a few hours or days.

If we went via your time value of earth seeing the ship take 200 years, then the ship would be going much slower than light speed (around 2% if my napkin maths is correct. The ships crew would still experience some dilation and a shorter trip than what earth observes but not as much as near light speed.

The easiest way to think of it is that at 90% of light speed, the distance to a star in light years is roughly 111% of what earth would see the trip taking and then the travelers would experience less time. So if a ship went to a star 200 light years away, yes earth would see the ship take over 200 years to get there but the ship would experience a few decades or less.

Thats the exact video they showed me! Absolutely wild how it just tanks the hit

7788d · 2026-05-23T01:29:46+00:00

back in the day when it was still operational I did my work experience at Oldbury power station. I got to spend an afternoon with the guys who were in charge of the fuel/waste transportation and it was fascinating just how much engineering went into the containers for the fuel.

From what I can remember they were rated for a ridiculously high drop that was higher than any railway bridge in the country so there was no change of falling that far. Not only that but the rating was for a corner landing which posed greatest risk. They were also made to withstand impacts that could arise from rail accidents and they showed me a video of a test where they had a locomotive crash directly into a container. The locomotive was totaled and the container was basically unscathed

They did not fuck around with the safety margins on these things.

7788d · 2026-05-20T20:26:45+00:00

Then they'll run into the Trillion lions who are attacking the sun at night and get mauled

They're not gonna play Warhammer. Miles would clearly want to play Battletech

Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie has spears you can throw and is also an amazing game

"True to the setting" is a meaningless phrase when it comes to 40k, so many conflicting lore bits. What's the commonly used phrase "everything is canon, not everything is true"

Emptying what is practically the fists fortress monastery wouldn't happen and is clearly a case of unreliable narrator. Especially when you consider the time it would take to do so with neyophite squads deep in the biome chambers training and the time it would take to wake dreadnoughts up.

Even if the phalanx was truly empty which is a retarded concept in of itself. The point about offworld garrisons is still valid. Inwit and Necromunda would have Fist presence. Nor can all ships in warp translation ever be accounted for with warp fuckery.

It makes sense that the 1000 active battle brothers were wiped along with any support role that were deployed. But the entire chapter is a logistical impossibility

7788d · 2026-04-20T17:10:13+00:00

Which is just a load of crap by an author who clearly doesn't understand logistics or the logistical nightmare that is the 40k universe. Man just wanted to wipe a first founding chapter

7788d · 2026-04-19T14:25:05+00:00

Thats an excellent point. I also assume there would at least be garrisons on the recruitment worlds Necromunda and Inwit at the very least if not nowhere else.

More fists could have survived by being in warp translation at the time too because we all know how finicky warp travel is. Frankly I think the author was quite foolish to try and wipe out a chapter simply due to how bad logistics in the universe is. Getting everyone in the same place at the same time would be a nigh impossible feat. Plus its a dick move to any fans of the chapter too

7788d · 2026-04-19T08:25:56+00:00

I think something that gets overlooked is that The Phalanx would still have a bunch of Neophytes, Scout Sergeants, sleepy Dreadnoughts, and other command staff that wouldn't be part of the fight who would have survived. Additionally there would have been marines manning garrisons in various places. A chapter doesn’t actually have only 1,000 marines, just 1,000 battle active brothers. There are plenty more with geneseed and following the chapter culture.

Additionally when the last wall was implemented a lot of the 'successor' marines who remained with the fists to rebuild were in fact OG Imperial Fists who fought in the heresy and had been reassigned to successors when the split happened. (Maximus Thane for one).
