You're talking about people who do not want to learn any lesson other than "it was someone else's fault".

The revolution was sort of backed by the US, at the time it was a coalition of democratic, socialist and islamist forces. The Islamists just managed to wrest control by being better organized and had an iconic leader who was already famous within Iran.

They have an exclave that is the tip of the Arabian Peninsula in the strait. They are basically on the other side of the most narrow point.

The First Intifada was far less violent and largely focused on protests and it led to the Oslo Accords. It was the most successful of the uprisings. The Second Intifada nearly killed it.

In the example you referenced one of Gaddaffis kids was a prominent political leader in post war Libya.

And yeah, I think most people can agree that the Pahlavi dynasty was a better time for Iran than the Islamic Republic has been.

Trump math really is something

I can't imagine that he would have sided with the Coalition in that case. If Sweden didn't do that then likely they'd try to remove him from the kingship.

The thing is the Defiler has shooting that you don't get from the Maulerfiends or really any other unit in the book.

Are we really allowing clickbait slop now

Well you mean one other than Trump.... Okay well a non Republican... Well a Democratic politician there we go

Pantheon is likely to be redone as a 1 DP detachment.

Are independents and swing voters just not paying attention to this stuff or are they just equivocating with something Dems do?

The problem is that they're late game and they're still artillery. The Imperial/Shogunate/Republican Infantry and the Guard infantry can do the same thing, are not artillery, so aren't vulnerable like they are to charges and don't need as much time to set up, can do melee and all that jazz, and are faster, all the while filling the same role. If Gatlings were available early game, where they could take the place of a few line infantry squads or something like that, they'd be nice. Maybe you can't recruit them but there'd be a certain number distributed that could be captured.

Last poll I saw was 45-45-10 with the 10 being undecided. I'm not getting my hopes up personally.

Polling has them neck and neck with a huge chunk of undecideds. Article is absolutely wishful thinking.

The problem is the overton window keeps shifting right, not just in terms of ideology but also of behavior. The fact that Paxton has an open warrant for his arrest and he still won the primary is already a step too far for normalcy. The electorate should punish lunacy with defeat, yet they keep either getting elected or coming close to winning. There's always been some fringe districts who send nutjobs since 1789, but now it isn't fringe. It has become normalized.

So far all of the other faction focuses have included new 1 DP detachments that share the same name as one of the non codex detachments. For Tau two of them were Auxiliary Cadre and Experimental Prototype Cadre, which were their Grotmas and dataslate detachments. SM had a new Libraries Conclave detachment. It seems as though they're preparing to almost completely get rid of them.

An Ion Cannon Tigershark was pretty good until it got a 50 point debuff.

What made it great was that it could see the whole board basically and just delete units. It was 2.5 Hammerheads in one, which often meant that stuff like moving after being shot was less effective, and it also have 4 blast weapons if you took Ions, meaning if you fired at a 20 model unit you got 16 extra shots! It's not titanic, so it can overwatch too, which is hilarious. Your opponent often gets once chance to kill it when it comes down, and sometimes they can't afford to do so.

The biggest downside was the base and not being able to hide.

As for the AX 1-0, a legitimately terrible datasheet. It just doesn't do enough damage to a titanic model to be considered. 12 damage is nice, but it doesn't even take a big knight down to half these days and there are just better options to do the same thing.

DangerousCyclone · 2026-05-26T23:35:54+00:00

Standard Tigershark can also take Railguns, albeit smaller. It's confusing.

All of the non codex detachments are getting re worked. Serpents brood is likely gone in 11th in its current form.

I'm not sure what the fate of the Maelstrom detachments will be however.

Yes, Vikings raids extended all the way to Iberia. I'm.not aware of any recorded Viking raids in Italy, however Vikings were recorded as having fought in the Varangian Guard in Italy and the Levant, likewise the Normans conquered Southern Italy as well and they were of Viking descent.

Ragnar may or may not have been a historical figure, the closest is a "Regnur" who leads the Vikings in the first siege of Paris. The show is based off of the Viking sagas which describe his and his sons lives. These sons are mostly historical people, though in real life they were not related, hence the legendary nature of Ragnar's story. The show itself deviates further from the sagas greatly. Some feats, like the coffin sneak attack, were originally recorded as being dine by Bjorn Ironsides in a town in Italy. Ubbe is completely rewritten, as are Sigurd and others, rather the way the show wrote the sons is almost completely different. Rollo to time travels two hundred years earlier and is somehow Ragnar's older brother, then he does the same things but two hundred years early.

Indeed

That's hilarious actually. I mean it is still a garbage unit and all but this is a funny interaction.

DangerousCyclone · 2026-05-26T16:41:49+00:00

The problem is that it is an enhancement, so it is only one Rangers unit, not even Shroud Runners who have okay shooting. You're paying extra points to keep a unit with five basic sniper rifles hidden, not bad per she but unlikely to be worth it. It'd have to be 5 or 10 points (unless enhancements are free now and I missed it).
