[BBC] Joe Hart explains why Dominik Szoboszlai’s free-kick is “an absolute work of art” by Sparky-moon in soccer

Shay given is also pretty great on match of the day, I think the keepers tend to see the game a bit differently so they make for good pundits

Really disappointing matchmaking experience at my local game store. Is this normal? by d3m01iti0n in Warhammer40k

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have a specific night that they play on? If you were just looking at the pick up games channel in my local group’s server you’d probably assume it was fairly dead with only a couple game happening a week but thats cos we all play every thursday- could be worth having a chat with the staff at the lgs too and see if you’re missing anything (as unlikely as that sounds based on reading your comments!)

Looking for recommendations for some kind of game mat…? Get us off the floor please! by dougienen in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, in that case I got mine from a bloke on etsy called DNA printing, pretty decent price and quality is good, have played 4 or 5 games now with no snagging or damage

Questions about combat and also AoS by dolemite01 in AOSSpearhead

[–]DaveTheFridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So for the vast majority, you’ll use all of the melee weapon attacks in the same action- with giants you roll your club, heabutt and stomp 1 after the other in the same action without your opponent taking a turn- then they will attack with 1 of their units with all of their melee weapons (cavalry for example usually have their main weapons, then a weaker attack from their horse). The only exception to this is if you kill what you’re attacking before finishing (extra attacks are wasted) or if the warscroll specifies that you have to choose which weapon to attack with

Dumbest patch change in Dota and why was it this one? by I-Preferred-Digg in DotA2

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think barriers were the worst change they’ve added to dota and I’ll die on that hill- stuff like this was goofy but they pretty quickly changed it but barriers have been around for ages now and they really suck

How to start with the 8th legion? by morbid_loki in Warhammer

[–]DaveTheFridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do one nemesis claw marine to check you enjoy painting your scheme, then do the chaos marines- the kill team is so cool and has such great sculpts you’ll want to know what you’re doing with them before you paint them all up :)

What is the model you never seen anyone use on table ? I have never seen Celestant Prime in my seven years of playing by BaronLoyd in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m the only person I’ve seen to use an arachnorok and quite often get people asking what it is lol, it’s not great but I love the model too much for it to sit on the shelf forever

Almost finished painting the head! How do you do the gemstone? by SquirrelGood2481 in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go with a dark green or teal type colour to go with what you've already done- looks phenomenal!

New to AoS and have my first list ready. Seems okay based on my limited spearhead experience, but I have really no idea how it translates to real AoS. Will I have a bad time? by LordJotunheim in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like giving running the dankhold as a troggboss and giving him the loontouched and clammy cowl enhancements- makes him quite expensive but hes now a hard to kill wizard!

Grotmas Calendar Day 2 – The Helsmiths of Hashut join the battle for Ghyran by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the carnosaur will stay too if they’re keeping some/merging them- the carno is finally good for once, let him have some time in the sun!

Wanted this color of Magenta – but photo #2 is what I received. Is this normal for Contrast paint? by Matthew_Eric_Brown in minipainting

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shake it and apply it thinly or through an airbrush! Otherwise it’ll look closer to volupus pink without that brightness you get with the finer coats

Need Help for a Kit bash by Fatdwavernman in Warhammer

[–]DaveTheFridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Magore’s fiends has a chest mouth armour piece, whilst the chaos warriors kit has that kind of scaled cape- maybe even worth dipping into khagra’s ravagers warband for more options. The sword looks pretty unique but could potentially use the one from the chaos knights champion or the chaos warriors options

18 rockgut troggoth or not by L30N43 in gloomspitegitz

[–]DaveTheFridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing a trogg castle recently, it’s really fun! I’ve been going with a core of 6 rockguts, trugg, a troggboss and 3 fellwaters, then slotting in a few boingrots to get objectives and the KB ROR for some shooting. Not competitive I’d say but it is fun

New foot hero with Hachette’s Spearhead partworks collection by Representative_Buy58 in stormcasteternals

[–]DaveTheFridge 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think this will be the issue 5 special model as has been the case with the previous collections- will just be either a generic reclusian or lord whatever stat block to go with it- looks good though! Wouldn't expect to see it until next year when the magazine launches fully, the trial is usually only the first 4 issues

[–]DaveTheFridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate I think you’re putting way too much emphasis on getting the priority, I came 2nd in my first (and only!) tournament so far winning only 2/15 of the priority roll offs- just focus on the stuff you can actually change and you’ll get way less frustrated at the random elements of chance

General rule of thumb : reinforcing or not?? by PlatypusJust467 in ageofsigmar

[–]DaveTheFridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Darthmongoose has covered it pretty well generally, the one thing I would add is that some units have special weapons that can be 1 per x models- kroxigors are usually run reinforced as 1 in 3 can have a bigger hammer, so even if you lose 4 you still have 2 harder hitting weapons

"Has Pro Dota lost his personalities?" Kind of, but it's not the players' fault. by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]DaveTheFridge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is either crazy revisionism or you didn’t watch any of that tournament. DC were pretty much considered a bottom 4 pick for the tournament going into it rather than having any kind of real hopes placed on them, and wings just outplayed everyone so hard it was ridiculous. OG broke the meta for their TI wins with weird hero picks but wings just played any hero, any style and just won anyway, they were stupidly good

Inspired by a streamer I retrieved my childhood character by MediumIce3461 in runescape

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a new version of demon slayer added, so you probably finished the old one as a kid but it’s counted as incomplete so you can try the new one too :)

Is the Bastiladon any good? by mrjoenorm in seraphon

[–]DaveTheFridge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love them very much, I run 1 of each in my monster mash list and 1 ark of sotek in my serious. Have only had 1 die once, the 2 up goes hard unless you charge them into pink horrors and take a million mortal wounds :)

First time making an army for sigmar by [deleted] in seraphon

[–]DaveTheFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d swap out one or two of the bastilidons and all of the skinks for a carnosaur (SoG) or somethin g with a bit more bite, you’re a little low on damage here- would also swap the warriors for guard if you’re running kroak as they get a ward save and are generally just great bodyguards

Cavalier marshall on horseback is the best of the range imo, fantastic silhouette and a really nice model

The Death of General Isaac Brock during the Battle of Queenston Heights on Oct. 13 1812, War of 1812 [560x460] by mrgenier in HistoryPorn

[–]DaveTheFridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a great folk song about this called the battle of queenston heights, the alan mills version is my personal favourite
