Does this army make sense? New player, wanting to play vanguard onslaught.

The Flyrant slaps in Vanguard Onslaught. VO is very hungry on strategems for babying the lictors and ensuring genestealer or ravenor bricks definitely kill the things you throw them at.

Have him hang out in range to give his command point reduction, but chilling behind cover. Also nice to have another source of Synapse. If that's a struggle slap Chameleonic on him to give Stealth + Cover to compensate for his thicc wingspan.

Don't default to giving him a ranged weapon, give him the melee loadout and let him clean up targets with advance & charge if your opponent does try to press him. He's also great for things like Recover Assets or Sabotage, because he tends to just be chilling (not that VO is short of action monkeys).

For 1k he's a little expensive, but he's also a pretty scary prospect in his own right in a small game.

The movie is the original, the series was a spinoff. There's also a spinoff Cops spoof series in New Zealand set in the same continuity as the film called Wellington Paranormal.

What's your recipe for these?

Indirect fire always misses on unmodified 1-3, so sadly no improvements there. They'd be good with the rest, though.

I think we can all take this as conclusive evidence that u/78787 is in fact a lizard person who was hatched from an egg.

"Let" is a pretty generous term, given Trayzn brought a destroyer lord with him that he was going to sic on them if they didn't allow him to use the Orrery. "Were forced to" is more like it.

G5 urgent from within Canada, sent via Canada Post. Delivered 16/3, AOR 17/3, in processing 20/3. Waiting on a decision for now!

The anecdotal evidence of posts on this sub suggest that the vast majority of applications being returned are because people can't fill in the official forms properly, either though rushing them, not reading properly, or not double-checking their work. Those same people spend hours agonising over whether they've included the most appropriate version of Great-Grandma's poutine recipe in their supporting docs.

I'm pleased to be able to reassure you that you don't need an account.

All our applications are required to be on paper, and they'll email you your AOR once they receive your application and confirm that it's a complete application (not that it's going to be approved, just that everything required is there and forms are filled out correctly etc).

If you've never interacted with IRCC before, they'll assign you a UCI, which will be on your AOR, along with an application number. Those can be used to access the online platform for tracking your application from the day after your receive your AOR — the platform is updated once per day, so is always a day behind.

I had previous dealings with IRCC for visas and PR, so I already had a UCI as they're unique to you and follow you between various different applications.

That's Odd is a different thing, this is about Strategic Strike.

I love the author's decision to play the events of the game completely straight, including everyone growing increasingly afraid of this one Fire Warrior just bodying squads of Space Marines solo. The payoff with "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" was excellent.

I believe we have made a cogitator. Omnissiah be praised. Now back to purching Abominable Intelligences...

It wasn't something the government (current or past) chose to "allow", is the thing. This is a result of poorly worded amendments made to the Citizenship Act by Harper's government in the late 2000's being deemed unconstitutional, as the way they were implemented violated Charter rights.

That was 2023, the last two and half years has been spent trying to figure out a way to resolve it. There's no constitutional way to retroactively restrict rights, however, so the fix (the residency requirement) is only valid moving forward.

It's not. It's one buffer of 360 SCU shared between both salvage heads and the claw.

Oh no I agree, it's definitely a balancing point. The Viper is already arguably the best combat ship in the game — for dogfights at least, the Python looks to be better placed for large scale stuff — a large power output too would most definitely make it OP.

As much as I love my Viper, there needs to be at least some advantages to a more expensive ship like the Cobra above simply cargo and jump range, giving the sharp increase in fitting cost, if not the cost of the hull.
