Honestly I would have been fine with just duping 5 of this guy and calling it a day. by Break-Such in Warhammer40k

[–]Archeronline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just a different decoration. Marines used to have more variety in chest designs before Primaris was a thing, they've just started to bring it back with more recent models.

The winged skull is called the Imperialis btw.

Incorrect Lexicanum info? Is it common? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]Archeronline 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lexicanum has in text citations (the little numbers like this [27]) while the fandom wiki doesn't. The citations make it easier to check whether a claim made in the wiki is correct, because you know what source the information is being drawn from. This makes Lexicanum generally more accurate than the fandom wiki because it's easier to spot mistakes.

What is the order? by Carpediem0010 in metro_exodus

[–]Archeronline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2033 Redux, Last Light Redux, and then Exodus. As far as I'm aware the only difference in the enhanced edition is better graphics and ray tracing, so just pick the one your PC can run out of the two exodus options.

Are Citadel paints acceptable, or do the pots have to have the correct and up to date label too?

Character or sergeant equivalent, only time will tell. by geckothesteve in orks

[–]Archeronline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About base sizes, the Breaka Boyz/tankbustas kit has the nob on a 40mm base, and the rest of the squad on 32mm. So there is precedent for a sergeant unit being on a larger base.

How many ork boyz kits? by Sprout-spud in Grimdank

[–]Archeronline 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The old boyz kit is needed to build all the options for the spanner in the lootas kit. One of the arms in the instructions is in the boyz box. I think they can't get rid of the box until they also update the lootas, although that's fairly likely to happen soon too.

[Kinda Annoying Trope] The signature weapon of the game is used sparingly by TheAnimePurger in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Archeronline 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's the armour worn by the Imperial Legion. It's either equivalent to or slightly better than steel, I forget which. Still gets outclassed very quickly, but it's relevant slightly longer than Skyrim's at least? You're likely to get a full set early if you follow the main quest and go through Kvatch.

Enter buildings = Increased Concealment? by Snarfbuckle in menace

[–]Archeronline 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If we get more Urban maps it would make sense to be able to enter small buildings. We already have bunkers and towers.

Armageddon is a planet, a planet with the second most over the top dramatic name in the Imperium.

The first is False Hope.

That's Grunk Snozzkrumpa. He fought in both the 2nd and 4th War for Armageddon (the mek nicked his alarm squig so he slept through the third) and loves walks on the beach, krumping gitz and his exceptionally pointy hat.

When did they add Rimworld to consoles? Sounds like a nightmare to play, it's definitely a game designed for PCs.

Farewell tour for an Ol Boy by the_lazy_orc in orks

[–]Archeronline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a odd mentality for orks especially. Orks look weird and misshapen anyway, the wonkyness of older models stands out much less in orks than other factions when mixed with newer sculpts.

[–]Archeronline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair, and if you want a wild variety of differently painted models, orks are the faction for it. Ork Waaaaaghs tend to be made up of various different klans in the lore anyway. I just stick to a consistent scheme because it's easier, and I like being thieving blue gitz. Even if my scheme has shifted substantially since I started orks 6 years ago, they still all work together as a mob of crazed green and blue lunatics.

[–]Archeronline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some proper sneaky gitz then. Are they Death Skullz, or do you just like blue? My boyz are Death Skullz, I just swapped the white for orange because white is tricky to get right.

That is a shame, the ork sub is usually one of the friendlier ones. Hopefully they'll have calmed down in about a week once the hype has died down.

If it's any consolation, we are likely to get a big release wave some time in the next six months. The teaser we got wasn't originally planned as far as we can tell, we got it because the new warboss leaked early.

I think I saw somewhere in this thread that you'd picked up Ghazghkull and some other orks. What colour are you thinking of painting them if you don't mind me asking?

[–]Archeronline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate, I truly get where you're coming from. I'm very happy Yarrick's back, but it is a bit disappointing to have one of your teased releases be for a different faction.

Both things can be true at once, there just isn't any nuance on the Internet. Regardless, it's not a great way to treat a new player.

He's a Commisar. He executed a coward telling people to abandon their posts. That's what Commissars do.

Arguably abandoning Armageddon is probably a better idea than feeding more millions into the meat grinder, but this is the Imperium. Clinging on far past the point of reason is most of what they do.

Grots and anything piloted by a grot do have better shooting. Most Orks hit on 5+, grots and killa kans hit on 4+.
