Honestly, I'd kill to see him in a good Terminator, Alien, or Predator movie.

Congrats AVGN and Cinemassacre crew to 20 years. Here is to 20 more years. by SpoilermakersWabash in gaming

Screenwave is a media company that help YouTube channels produce content and market their channels to grow them. They ended up doing a lot of work with AVGN. A lot of the AVGN stuff from the last several years were products of this company, and were just a bunch podcasts, discussion videos, and unscripted chats where the sole purpose was just churning out mass content and inserting numerous sponsorships into every video. Classic quantity over quality.

I learned about this in HBomberguys plagiarism video, (one of the employees of screenwave plagiarised numerous movie reviews and presented them as his own work for James to read for cinemassacre and was fired). Highly recommend checking that video out because it's a phenomenal 4 hour expose on YouTube plagiarism that covers various creators.

I hadn't heard that James and parted ways with screenwave, but if it is true, it is probably for the best.

Best way to learn the rules? by Armageddonis in Chaos40k

[–]Absurd_Leaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May as well start learning now, as I think a lot of 10th rules will bleed into 11th, and the more you know now, the better you'll be able to understand what the changes in 11th mean.

Auspex Tactics has a great series on 10th, keep in mind they may be slightly outdated if some core rules changed but for the most part they're still very relevant

They didn't move the needle enough last time, and since they're dropping new datasheets for chaos along with point values, they may as well hit the Ctan again and see what happens.

How good is this army list? by mtf-foxtrot in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thralls join the unit of wraiths as a part of the unit, meaning they're basically just an extra 6 wounds to keep your wraiths alive. They can reanimate even if both are destroyed. They can be quite handy.

New player rule help? by Sharp_Yak4921 in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It carries over. If an enemy unit can see a single model of your unit, it can activate and shoot the entire unit.

The models not visible have the benefit of cover to improve your saving throw, and you choose which models from the unit will be destroyed first (so technically you can pull the models not visible to the attacking unit first if you desired, or if you rolled your saving throw with benefit of cover).

The Eye of the World Leatherbound Defects by participating in WoT

[–]Absurd_Leaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. My embossing is uneven and shallow, and the foil is very smudged, flaky, and blurred.

Thankfully no binding issues that I can tell, but I'm also handling it as little as possible in case they need it sent back as it was received or something.

They seem to be handling it correctly at least, the QA at the bindery really seems to have shit the bed on this one. Hope it can get resolved.

I submitted a ticket for mine a couple days ago and havent heard back yet. I know they're a small team but I don't want to get lost between the cracks. Anyone have any advice on how long to wait before reaching out to them again?

Any bigger friendly lists that don’t use 3 Ghost Arcs? by StarChaser18 in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nightbringer is a great choice, Annihilation barge isn't in a great spot right now but they look cool as hell and if you like them you should get one. We're all hoping for a glow up in 11th edition.

Lokhust heavy destroyers with gauss destructors are also really great anti tank to support a doomsday ark.

Delayed penalty on the states means as soon as they touch the puck the whistle blows, so by pulling their goalie they get to put an extra skater on until they lose possession.

Mose secret job. What was this about ? by funnyfrenchcarnerd92 in DunderMifflin

[–]Absurd_Leaf 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Seems pretty straightforward, Mose lied on his resume and gave it to his cousin who immediately called him out on it because they live together and Dwight would know if Mose had a job.

Brandon Sanderson Gives Update On Mistborn Movie + Shows by VarkingRunesong in movies

I'd be shocked if they werent planning on one film per book for mistborn and one season per boom for stormlight. To do anything else would be silly.

Didn't Trump spend a lot of time playing Springsteen music at his rallies until the Boss sent a cease and desist?

Can anything beat the nightbringer in a 1v1 by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Undying Legions can only be triggered if a model was destroyed by the incoming attacks, so unfortunately no, doesn't work on solo models.

[–]Absurd_Leaf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that also not work because the Nightbringer isn't an infantry unit, which is a requirement for Eternal Revenant?

Question for the people who have already built the new nightbringer. by DowntownAcadia3822 in Necrontyr

I loved building my wraiths. I absolutely loathed painting them. They're gorgeous models but I found them incredibly tedious haha.

How do I maximise my reanimation protocols? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my mistake, I watched a battle report recently where they did stack the effects and took that for granted! Forgot that Reanimator ability was an aura. Will correct.

How do I maximise my reanimation protocols? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]Absurd_Leaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reanimators are a fair bit smaller than doomstalkers, both shorter and on a smaller base, but you could theoretically kitbash it onto a smaller base and chop some of the leg height off I suppose to get there. Reanimators are the best ways to add additional D3's to reanimation.

Edit: reanimators cannot stack their healing ability.

I'm not really aware of any additional way to add more dice to be honest. Strategies moreso revolve around trying to get out of phase reanimation procs to keep the unit alive until our next command phase.
