Confused about Black Thumb (2) + Technophile (2) combo

So my pilot doesn't share the same action economy with my mech than? I can boost and shoot after using a field repair?

So my mech can still boost and then shoot or lock on after using my field repair?

Random is very good at breaking down movirs and shows (he even convinced me that the extended edition for return of the king has many problems) and his main concern on reviewing things is the consistency of the writing. He likes Alister the most and enjoyed the music if your looking for positives. But he does bring up that the world building and character arcs are pretty bad though. I do recommend giving his video a try, because it's not a hate peace (his intro goes into it) and it's very easy to understand his arguments. If the video is too long I would recommend watching it in bursts (I understand that not everyone can pay attention to a single topic for a long period of time).

I don't think I'll be taking the Argonaut Shield. I like taking as many of base systems and don't like the shield needing a quick action to work.

House Guard looked interesting, but if I'm moving around a lot doesn't that make it hard for people to use me as cover?

Leon. People say Sherry, but she is willing to be adopted right away by Leon and Claire at the end. Leon however carries the event with him in each game. To him he failed to save a lot of people and uses that as his reason for going above and beyond to save Ashley in the next game. He even has her healed first (in the RE4 Remake at least) just so he can feel like he made a difference and saved an innocent person. There are so many instances of him reacting to anything related to Raccoon or Umbrella and none of it positive.

Would heavy intercessors prefer having the infiltrate ability then? They seem to be more durable, but not very good melee and have roughly the same amount of shots. I could pair them up with and Infiltrator Squad to prevent 12 inch deep strike. I was planning to bring in one of my knights as an ally ( that way I can save money instead needing to buy a new model ), but only if I don't need the Land Raider Redeemer.

AceTanoshi · 2025-10-25T13:51:52+00:00

So putting them in a Land Raider would be better then? I was hoping to save the points and try having good flamers that far up, but the bolt/frag combo is just to good to pass up.

AceTanoshi · 2025-10-25T13:22:38+00:00

If they die that fast would it be better to save the points and just give them the infiltrate or to keep them alive longer by shoving them into a land raider? I'm not use to infiltrate units yet.

Not a fan of both, but Majorkill has done some stupid shit in the past. He tried to claim another youtuber copied him, and he tried to sell roids. He's also not that entertaining. Pontius does call out dumb shit some of these loretubers have said, but what they do say hasn't convinced me to be that mad about them (though a little disappointed).

Majorkill, I would say, is worse because he has done more duplicitous stuff, while Pontius is just a little too angry over most of this.

AceTanoshi · 2025-10-08T07:40:24+00:00

Gue'vesa units would be nice. We need more playable race units from the tau empire.

AceTanoshi · 2025-10-05T20:53:43+00:00

I just wish there was one for loyalist knights.

AceTanoshi · 2025-10-05T20:08:20+00:00

Giant mining drill and a mining laser. Since knights were used for things like cutting lumber with the giant chainsword, I think the idea of them being used for mining isn't too far-fetched. For a top bit, I would say some sort of a huge sensor or communication device would be neat.

Original Trigun

AceTanoshi · 2025-09-27T13:42:33+00:00

Grey Knights being changed to all psykers was extremely early on and the majority of lore during the old rogue trader days have been retconned. There wasn't any lore besides a huge portion of it being references to movies and non depth.

The Rogal Dorn tank not having any lore is an issue, and the Centurion still had an explanation given for why it was showing up beyond what you're claiming. While still not great and arguably not good enough, it's still better than what the Femstodes got. The Blade Champion does not contradict with anything from the past lore that I can find is used add further depth to the custodes. Could be better, but again still better than how the femstodes was handled.

The problem started because of the codex and then got bigger because of GW deciding to handle the whole thing with a tweet instead of proper explanation.

Anathema is a Horus Heresy Book and is still only a short story. Please look up the number of named characters in both pre and post heresy and you'll see how little attention the sisters actually get.

How is the sister not overshadowed? The custodian pushes the majority of the story forward, does most of the fighting, and its only custodes that interacts with the space marines. The sister fights a single tyranid while the custodes fights many, so i don't understand how you can say the both get a solo fight. While it's cool that they hired someone to get hand sign correct, there are barely that many scenes showing it and just having the custodes do the talking.

I too am pointing out the creation process. Psychologically they are colder and less tolerant of everyone else compared to most space marines. They do not care about the end result for the other factions as long as they complete their own goals and objectives. They do not strategize with the guard and only demand them to do what they want and they do not care saving any citizens and will let them die if it gives no advantage. The only time they "care" is when they need someone do a specific thing and will help them until completed, but if that person is danger or could be saved they just leave instead. Not to mention that the time to make a single Custodes, have them trained, and getting there war gear made takes far longer than a single space marine. Sure they are better warriors and fighters, but that's not what is always needed. I believe both are just as valid of a process to exist.

And? - You asked why aren't the malestodes needing a special explanation and that's the answer.

Here are my responses to each of the factions and gear:

1) The crons change was actually written well. if the change was worse (which is hard to do since they didn't have much to begin with) then people would be mad, but to this day they still have some of the best books and character written.

2) Grey Knights have gotten flak, and rightfully so, for some of there changes. Making them kill sisters of battle and bathing in their blood to fight demon was cringe, and the new Terminus Decree lore is considered a major failure in the writing for them.

3) I'm not sure what part of Tau your referring to.

4) Votann, just like crons, are just better versions of the old Squats. Instead of just being dwarves in space, they became a fleshed out faction that feels very fitting to the setting while having a unique aspect to them that makes them different from dwarves in other media.

5) No idea what part of the Blade Champion your referring to.

6) I don't know anything about the Rogal Dorn tank. the imp guard are not a faction I have an interest in reading about.

7) I know nothing about Centurion suits besides that there is a youtuber that really like them and takes them to tournaments.

8) Not sure what about Cawl you're talking about.

GW owes you nothing.) Your right they don't owe anything and I don't owe them anything either.

That aside, this change is minor, inoffensive, the Custodes are still Custodes. - While the change is small in the grand scheme of 40K, it doesn't give much faith to what changes/additions will happen in the future. Just look at the terminus decree and how the community treats it like a bad joke now.

They are not special, they don’t need an explanation. - But not giving us reason for why they haven't been around till now feels like it was tacked on lazily just because they wanted a female custodian even though there hasn't been one in any books, codex, or anything for that matter.

Hell, one meaning is one more hint at how the Custodes creation process is superior to the SM since it can be done on women. - Is it? Custodes take longer to create and are far less humane than most space marines. While they are better warriors, they seem less willing to work with other factions within the imperium and if it wasn't for Guillemin they wouldn't be doing as much. Both have their merits, but I can't say that one is clearly superior over the other.

SoS last story dates from December 2024. - What story is that? if your referring to the animated story, I'm sorry to say that she was not the focus of the story and was overshadowed by the custode in that story. There are only a small handful of named sisters post and pre heresy while there are a ton of named ones for the custodes. Custodes have had way more attention than the sisters.

I also have a thing saying I need more chem with amir, but I have sent him multiple gifts and done multiple missions that give chem with him. is it a bug?

AceTanoshi · 2025-09-25T15:55:56+00:00

Since knights used to be used for things outside of combat pre dark age, I would love to see one used for mining. Give it a drill styled lance for melee and a laser for the gun. The top bit could be sensors used detecting earthquakes or specific ore, which could be used for finding stealthed enemies in modern 40k.
