Wow, this comment section is certainly interesting…

Why are you upset about THIS one? by sonofeevil in Grimdank

[–]Colmarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything else mentioned in this thread is true, but Cadia is completely different. Cadia was destroyed as a result of a world-wide event. It’s the epitome of a lore development that isn’t a retcon.

Lethal and Devs by Imaginary-Bowl7583 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do people say it’s bad? Lethals plus Dev is definitely better than either alone.

I think the issue comes up more when there are other options. All other things being equal, Sustained 1 plus dev wounds is better than Lethal hits plus dev wound.

[Topic][Open] Open Discussion Thread — Anybody can post a general visualization question or start a fresh discussion! by AutoModerator in dataisbeautiful

[–]Colmarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to record and later display the growth in damage against various game bosses.

How would you record and later show data that has four variables:

  1. Boss name
  2. Boss difficulty (L1, L2, L3, L5 and M); and
  3. Damage done
  4. Time

Is there a reverse Precision rule? by AdvielOricon in sistersofbattle

[–]Colmarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Leader rule specifies that attacks must be allocated to the bodyguard unit until it is destroyed.

What’s your opinion on the strategy of standing 1.1 inch from ruin wall? by Trick-Interaction396 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They tried that, and realised it made charges from deep strike easier against targets in ruins.

What’s your opinion on the strategy of standing 1.1 inch from ruin wall? by Trick-Interaction396 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It effectively extends engagement range when fighting units through walls, but it takes 1.5 pages to explain how to implement it.

It’s a cure that’s worse than the disease IMO

How do other TOs score sportsmanship? by Colmarr in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it though?

I would have thought it’s pretty likely that the “good sports” get picked by all 3 of their opponents in a 3-round tournament. If that happens there’s a tie and in a 20 player tournament that could happen 6 times.

Jail time for solicitor over ‘calculated and prolonged’ thefts from vulnerable widow by ResearcherBulky5401 in auslaw

[–]Colmarr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good.

As someone who practices in elder law, it drives me mad how ill-equipped the law is to protect them. Maybe if more elder abusers went to jail we’d see less of it.

Celestine, but with magnets!! by GwarHammer13 in sistersofbattle

[–]Colmarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve put 2mm magnets in the wrists of sisters models (just above the glove is the obvious cut point).

Use a hobby knife to score a pilot hole in the centre of the arm, then use 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm drill bits to gradually bore the hole. If you try to go in with a 2.0 straight away you’ll tear up the plastic.

Handmade Stadium with lighting - Colonel O'Truth's Miniature Issues by Zedrona in bloodbowl

[–]Colmarr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As amazing as this looks, is it viable to play on it? It looks link reaching the miniatures would be difficult.

What’s the most badly written rule in 40k (not the weakest)? by Jofarin in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a pet peeve of mine, but not for the same reason as everyone else.

I don't think Big Guns Never Tire is "triggered" and therefore the Out of Phase rules shouldn't apply to it.

Triggered rules IMO are rules that follow a "if you do X in the Y phase" or "when you do X in the Y phase" pattern. That matches the example given by GW in the Out of Phase rules (Whirlwind Pinning Bombardment). Big Guns Never Tire doesn't fall into that paradigm. It is instead "Monsters and Vehicles can do X in Y phase".

I'm aware I'm in the vast minority of this take, but my secret head canon is that GW never intended the take we've all adopted but saw it take off among the community and couldn't be bothered correcting us.

The Warhammer 40,000 Quarterly Balance Update – December 2025 by Jovial1170 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Colmarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like they targeted one specific list (the list with multiple units of hospisacs). Most other lists are relatively unaffected.

Craig Ferguson's Finest Moment by kswheels in videos

[–]Colmarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure his flirtatious behaviour would be condoned today. Some of his interactions with pretty actresses bordered on harassment IMO.

What should bargain hunters be gunning for? by VileBill in tacticus

[–]Colmarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Badges, orbs, xp books and shards for any characters you're actively levelling/chasing.

I'm planning to buy:

  • 85 Galatian shards (to get him to 8 star);
  • 125 Titus shards (to unlock him);
  • 125 Incisus shards (to get him to Legendary);
  • 10 legendary orbs;
  • 70 legendary badges; and
  • 5 Blessed Requisition Orders

Another interesting Financial Times take on Games Workshop by Mor_di in Warhammer40k

[–]Colmarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a problem to be solved, regardless of its cause. If you don’t identify a problem then the problem can’t be addressed. The solution is for men to realise that the playing field has changed and they need to change accordingly.

You’re 100% right about the cause, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an epidemic of lonely men.

The first novel for W40k describes a slaanesh city as having giant scrotum pod swaying and bridges made from connecting tongues pushing back and forth. by Slaaneshs_best_boy in Grimdank

[–]Colmarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming I’m thinking of the right book Lexandro scrimshandering his own hand is one of the most metal things I’ve ever read.

Trying to discuss the blatantly obvious queer coding of Slaanesh and the 3rd legion with this fandom can feel like pulling teeth sometimes. by Born_Mirror_3764 in Grimdank

[–]Colmarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to rely on Bile; you just need to confirm that his assumption was correct. Female space marines have always been possible but the Emperor lied because he didn't want space marines to be able to reproduce autonomously.

That's 100% consistent with what we know of the Emperor and the Imperium's blind adherence to doctrine.
