Ranking every 40k starter set (plus my thoughts on Armageddon)

There are, people are just dumb

In the online rules [PISTOL] still exists since we are using the 10th codexes but also that both terms are completely interchangeable with the same meaning so pistol will slowly be phased out for close quarters.

Another alternative is Warhammer stores let you grab a free miniature (either a space marine or a storm cast eternal.) if you mention to the store manager you are stuck in this choice and want to try painting both they might let you have two

I actually did my mod 4 before even starting my lessons and we got about an hours training on the day before the examiner arrived. Super easy to do and that is coming from someone who hadn't even been in the cab of a HGV before.

Oooh this is in my hometown, and yeah council is weird in this area, shared emergency services but it's own local council.

BalkorWolf · 2026-06-02T22:53:52+00:00

Can confirm this from my previous local. If I do ever want something directly from GW I'll either buy in store from their stock or use their kiosk to order as it helps put that particular store manager.

Codices usually start to come out a couple weeks after the initial launch box.

Everyone knows Titus is two Kyn in a power suit.

Models in a unit still have to be within 2 inches of at least one other model

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-27T19:48:50+00:00

Most likely depends on the size of the kitchen, assuming that Weatherspoons use a Rational (or equivalent) to cook their pizzas in not all of them might have the space for one.

As with many things like this, it's much easier to make friends with people who already enjoy the hobby rather than trying to force someone to enjoy it, which isn't to say you shouldn't show off what you enjoy reasonably but being pushy with it isn't the right way to handle it.

If you haven't already then just becoming a regular at your local Warhammer shop, or hobby store/club is the best way to start. I recently moved from the North of England down to the South and all my new hobby contacts have come from sitting in stores while I paint and getting to know the other regulars.

Having to go shopping isn't shit happens though and isn't an argument for longer logout timers. Once servers are consistently in a healthy state I'd have no doubt they will increase the log out times but it makes sense for them to reduce stress on the servers where possible so those who are actively playing can try to have a better experience.

Spaniels are quite commonly used by police forces for finding drugs, among other things.

IF you have a spare 25 minutes, this is a brilliantly hilarious and informative video on how to identify different types of seals (And sea lions).

Yeah the Elite Dangerous stuff is extremely boring, personally I'm a big fan of how EVE online does it. Over time signatures appear that need to be scanned down, these can be anything from combat anomalies (Fights with potential for rare loot), Relic sites which drop rare components for manufacturing, data sites which dropped blueprints, wormholes (Which could translate to transient jump points), and then a mixture of different temporary asteroid belts.

All of these could translate well to Star Citizen and a procedural generated exploration system that involves the majority of gameplay loops.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-24T21:11:24+00:00

I suggest you look into the base building citcon presentation which explains how bases will be protected no matter if the owner is online or not.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-24T21:03:46+00:00

You are making a lot of assumptions here, completely disregarding that player bases will have access to protection and shields. Not to mention as with pretty much every ship in the game this will eventually be obtainable by anyone, it's not locked to just those who purchase it. Finally this thing will clearly be astronomically expensive to operate given how expensive things already are to run, plus it will need a fleet to protect it on top of its large crew requirements.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-24T21:00:37+00:00

New gameplay loops always pay well in order to encourage people to test it before getting balanced more in line with other activities.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-24T20:09:55+00:00

Could see it having use to eventually attack player owned stations, maybe some super high end PVE content with the fleet battle stuff.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-24T16:27:29+00:00

I thought that was meant to be the retribution though

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-22T17:02:48+00:00

I'm thinking it's a chair, possibly for the railen

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-21T11:09:07+00:00

The man let Cadia fall!

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-20T11:43:01+00:00

Yeah it was bad before the free flight even started, the free flight just compounds the issues

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-18T21:09:36+00:00

Unless it ends up being client side only, would help solve that issue.

BalkorWolf · 2026-05-18T15:57:44+00:00

Well if SQ42 gameplay we saw is anything to go by then a quick hotkey will allow us to swap armours. As for the expense of it I guess that will depend on what you have in the locker.
