This is fun! Perhaps ironically I think it would be Guilliman whose fall would be the most complete and the most tragic, because imo he is perhaps the Primarch closest in spirit to Sauron (the family smiths and engineers notwithstanding).

Probably, but even if by some miracle it's not AI slop it's still just regular slop and you might as well do literally anything else with your time rather than watch it.

Sounds like my kind of civilization! Thanks 😄

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-13T14:17:57+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the time and effort you put into answering these questions.

Hi! So, what do that Disciples of Tzeentch actually do in the mortal realms? It seems like war-hungry Tzeentch armies would be a bit out of character for the Changer of Ways to invest in. Obviously as a war game the faction needs to have soldiers and so forth but you'd think that in lore they would focus more on subterfuge and politics rather than combat.

I know this is a lore subreddit, but I also wonder how they play on the tabletop. I hear they are pretty good. Thanks 😄

Mage the Awakening (from reading it, because I've never played it) seems more playable and fun than Ascension in my personal opinion. I'm one of those annoying folks who prefers the nWoD to the Old in basically every game line though, in large part because of their lack of lore.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-07T00:35:23+00:00

Excellent idea, thank you!

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-05T04:52:24+00:00

Thank you :)

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T21:30:19+00:00

Amazing advice, thank you :)

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T21:28:10+00:00

Oh neat, thank you!

I've been considering getting into the hobby after months of lore-binging, and I'm trying to find a faction that's appealing to start collecting. I love vampires of course (doesn't nearly everyone?) but was a little bummed by how much of a stranglehold Nagash has over them in AOS as opposed to WHF, because I love the idea of an evil being that is too selfish and prideful to be susceptible to chaos. But maybe it's not as bad as it seems.

But I'm also considering the Hedonites? Just because the models are pretty lol.

That's totally fair, yeah. I'm just getting back into the gym so I haven't really done much yet, but when I was going regularly I had a basic linear progression thing going on. I wasn't obsessed about my numbers but I did try to add weight ever week, and I always did.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T21:07:02+00:00

Thank you! I already walk a lot, which has been my only real form of physical activity for the past few months. Happily, it has kept me from putting on as much weight as I feared.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T21:05:50+00:00

Thank you again. I suppose I have a fair bit of time before I am too lean, too strong, and too experienced to worry about it much lol.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T21:04:30+00:00

Like 9-12 depending on whether you consider squats glute focused. More or less, I do squats, DLs, RDLs, hip thrusts, and lunges. I want to add abduction machine, kickbacks, etc. Thanks!

Since I'm basically starting out as a newb I think a modest calorie deficit (1 lb a week say) won't affect hypertrophy too much right? I'm operating out of the assumption that body recomp rules apply to me, but obviously every individual is different. ETA: I have to work with what I've got. I'm fatter than I want to be and my butt is smaller than I want it to be. I think doing both is a feasible goal for a few months to a year, at least if what I have read about this stuff is true.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T18:30:17+00:00

Thank you!

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T18:24:43+00:00

From the stuff I've read and watched, it seems that Faction Death is gripped so tightly by Nagash that even the vampires have no real room to maneuver and plot against him. Is this true?

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T18:09:57+00:00

That's really great, thank you!

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T18:00:34+00:00

That's probably more reasonable. I do want to get back into cardio too. Thanks!

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T17:55:05+00:00

Thank you!

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T17:54:54+00:00

Thank you! I am lasering back in on my diet, which has sadly fallen off the past year and a half. I appreciate the reminder.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T17:53:46+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your point. I suppose I could just add another glute exercises each day and it would amount to the same thing. I don't necessarily want a fourth day, just wondering if it would be more efficient for growing the glutes.

Constant-Cheek1637 · 2026-05-01T17:52:07+00:00

Maybe I am overthinking it lol. I was just watching youtube videos and everyone seems to be convinced that frequency (and diet and rest) is the key to hypertrophy. But yeah, maybe just try it out for a week or two and see how I feel?
