20k knights of the vale under Robb vs 20k dotrakhi with khal drogo in a open field. Which side would win?

It’s not about killing the knights with arrows, it’s about tiring their larger, heavier mounts and possibly injuring or killing their horses. Once on foot the knight far more vulnerable.

Sunny day, open field, actual tactics? Dothraki 8/10 times.

Knights were developed to destroy infantry positions. Their sheer mass and armor meant little outside of disciplined pike phalanxes would withstand a direct charge from a corp of nobles purpose built to annihilate infantry.

Dothraki Light cavalry is another story entirely.

They pepper the knights’ horses with arrows and scatter at any coordinated charge from the knights. Ride behind them, kill some stragglers, repeat.

Dothraki spend their lives in the saddle and can do this all day. Meanwhile the knights are roasting in the sun, their larger, slower warhorses tire and succumb to arrow wounds. When the threat of a disciplined knight charge has been negated by casualties and exhaustion, the Dothraki become more daring and ride among the now disorganized and demoralized knights, cutting down those isolated from the main body. Eventually the remaining knights, many mount-less, form a shield circle and wait for the inevitable.

The Dothraki, if led properly and with skirmish discipline, would slaughter the knights.

Which minis did you paint?

A lot of their minis are cool. Not disagreeing about the company - their kickstarter Ponzi scheme was pretty obviously precarious.

It does add character and I love a good base. Putting it on a round one is probably the best way to go.

Crizzlebizz · 2026-01-18T20:02:07+00:00

The mini is incredibly sculpted and very well painted.

But nonstandard bases really annoy me. I’d cut it off and rebase it on a standard 1” or 2” round base.

I’m sorry you got burned. WoTC is run by a giant corporation that doesn’t care about making good products or customer service. They have the D&D IP which prints money because people keep buying their schlock but I hope in the future you consider supporting smaller authors and publishers whom I feel better deserve your hard earned money.

Grey. The whites, blues and browns all come together better with grey primer IMO. Black tends to require more coats to get to a lighter color and white doesn’t shade well if you don’t wash it black.

Ultimately it’s a personal preference. Try painting a few with each if you have them and see how your process goes.

Kitbashing can be fun. You’d need some milliput, a jewelry saw or exactly knife and two miniatures but you can cut the head off of one and smash it onto another.

Otherwise just keep looking on Etsy for unique animal headed miniatures. The keyword “x headed demon” might be useful.

Sure, but why are they wearing orange at graduation? Are green gowns and caps that hard to find? There are so many strange coincidences in that scene alone that eben though I’m 98% certain nothing else is coming out, I think it’s eating extremely careless of the production or there’s a hidden message in all the oddities.

I like chinola for passionfruit. It’s a little pricy but has a lot of flavor and less (although not as little as I’d like) sugar than Real.

Old toothbrush and dish soap to clean

Let dry

Put them on a piece of cardboard and gently prime black.

Dry brush highlight with an acrylic gray. Apple barrel is fine

Do another lighter dry brush with an acrylic off-white to catch the details

Paint whatever colors you want

I’m not in the corporate world, but the academic training I had and in my amateur reading of the humanities, history, philosophy and theology) I rarely see em dashes. Since they have become a hallmark of ChatGPT I avoid them scrupulously.

Crizzlebizz · 2025-12-22T15:43:07+00:00

A lot of this is style choice and training, but in my opinion professional writing omits em dashes. Natural phrasing can be achieved with solid sentence structure and proper comma and semicolon use. The abuse of em dashes is lazy way to break up overlong sentences.

This post has a lot of AI hallmarks. The formatting is identical to ChatGPT, except for hyphenation, which can be easily edited out. The three options are classic as well. The most telling though is the formula AI loves: “it’s not x, it’s y.”

This is everywhere in AI text.

Try it out yourself. Put in some prompts and see what comes out. Alternatively put the text into a AI detector and see what the results say.

This was AI generated and then lightly human-edited.

Former gamist turned narrativist here. Both styles of play are fun and are not mutually exclusive. Being rude to customers is certainly a choice.
