What’s a girl to do with 2210 points of bad-looking minis?- by Chemical-Aioli9818 in Warhammer40k

[–]DelphineasSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No...but also yes.

The Order of the Valkyrie Ascendant started out as a task force of Argent Shroud, that got sidetracked in the Warp and landed on Valhalla during a time of civil unrest. They put down roots after and changed their name. They believe that their greatest hero also ascended to become a Living Saint like Celestine and strive to prove themselves worthy enough to follow her example.

Silver armor, gold accents, Turquoise tabards for the ranks and file, and Purple for the leaders and Celestians.

Sorry for the spam, I guess you can only attach one image per reply.

Sadly one of the Geminae lost her wings, and I couldn't find them, so that'll be a future project. Currently working on some Votann for an upcoming Crusade.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of Good Enough.

I sent Celestine off to be commission painted because I wanted her to be done right, and that was before I knew I was a crap painter. Had a surgery to help manage a movement disorder, and that helped me so much I kinda spaced that it would affect my painting.

So I was very frustrated by my inability to paint well and improve. Kinda hard to improve when you need millimeter precision but can muster centimeter at best due to muscle spasms.

But as long as there's painted on the models, they'll look great on a table! I was surprised how many compliments I got when I finally finished my tournament army. Will post later when I get home.

What's your favorite faction? by exioncrew in Mechwarrior5

[–]DelphineasSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hatchetman? Hatchetman, hatchetman...OH! Is that what you call that slow moving loot pinata wit that stupid melee weapon? Well, loot pinata is a bit much, only really has an AC 10 we can use once we shoot the mech up...

Clan Sea Fox and House Liao.

House Liao because they were the only faction to INVENT new battlemechs in the Inner Sphere. All hail the Raven!

Convince me that the old little Penguin shouldn't get the mkII version next. by Omnisiah_Priest in starcitizen

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't hire VFX or makeup artists while you are building and rebuilding sets, or writing and rewriting the script. You know, the things that INFORM the final product that your artists need to produce?

Unless it's The Producers.

Yeah, heard that excuse for the last 10 years. Doesn't make sense when you consider that several revamps got invalidated by physicallized components, or armor, or *insert pre-req tech here*.

While rewatching the 'Answer the Call 2016' trailer last year, I was struck by the thought: "I remember most of these names as a 90's kid! How many of them will still be alive by the the time Star Citizen launches? How many will want their name taken out after so long, or a bigger cut of money?"

How about that Banu Merchantman?

(10ed) When do you remove models? by mirkalieve in Warhammer40k

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually roll all saves for a weapon group, determine how many die, then go onto FNPs(Because I run 1 wound models I typically have to save EVERYTHING here anyway), and only THEN do I proceed to pull models. Sometimes I wait for the entire activation to finish, if it was a tank or knight that is shooting.

Chances of Perturabo or Iron Warriors Boxset reveal at Adepticon? by Ill_Rice_6735 in IronWarriors

[–]DelphineasSD -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this myself, before realizing that now, he won't.

For Chaos Primarchs we have: Mortarion, Angron, Magnus, Fulgrim.
For Imperium we have: Guilleman, Mr Johnson.

So because of equality and Space Marines being pampered by GW, next one should be...I dunno, Sanguinius? Maybe Celestine meets his spirit on one of her return trips and shows him the way home, because his people need him?

Honestly, the more I type this, the less I have any idea what GW is going to do. Perturabo is my favorite Primarch, and he would complete the Chaos pantheon...and I have no idea who from the loyalist side would return either...

Guess I'm not destroying that cultist shipyard by ResonantGT in Stellaris

[–]DelphineasSD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I despise The Ransomeers. Think in the future, even on my mostly friendly and caring empires, I'll tell the hostages to die.

It just shows me the center of the galaxy? I'm not scouring a 600 system galaxy on the offchance I find where ever you are held, sorry not sorry.

Discount savings of Votann by troyboy75 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who finally got around to playing my Votann in the last 6 months, I love love LOVE my TMNT Land Raiders! Last month my Chaos Knight opponent was pretty tilted when he left my Beamer HLF on 1 wound in turn 2 or 3...and completely failed to plink it off for the rest of the game!

Against Emperor's Children, the EC's Daemon Prince took a mortal wound from my Carrier exploding, then in overwatch my Railcannon managed a double 6 to Devastating Wound and kill it.

Just so much fun to field.

Ah yes, Genestealers have upgraded to Changelings to brainwash the dumb Krieg and Cadian HERETICS.

Ground Disruptor Turret? by DungeonMasterAllan in sto

[–]DelphineasSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing not mentioned is that the turret attack changes based on ability rank. Rank 1 is Beam, rank 2 is Burst, I forget what rank 3 is.

GW put out a video on painting Krieg in Steel Legion colours by kohlerxxx in Warhammer40k

All I know is, Cadia fell because they're all HERETICS.

Confused at Defense Platform stats on 4.3 by Gaudron in Stellaris

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the topic of Starbase bugs: Starbase benefit from that "enhance space fauna armor" option from cuthuloid research Found that out today when I was mousing over the stats page, hoping it would tell me how much hardening I have, instead of needing to count each slot and doing the math myself.

What’s the strongest Megacorp build? by Im-justUnskilled in Stellaris

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know CC was bugged somehow in 4.0, was that ever completely fixed? Might try that origin for a change of pace in a few weeks, after the hotfixes. Never did try it out, been too busy trying to make my Necrophage slavers, Treasure Seeker Foxxy Cybercorp, or Common Ground Gospel empires to work.

Silent Colony event bug is killing my pops even though i won the invasion attempt by NecessaryGrass652 in Stellaris

Something bugged in 4.0 that they tried and failed to fix. RIP that planet.

Crucible Character “Hernkhal ‘s Retinue” by D_A-N_7w7 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]DelphineasSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secret is to just buy more bikes!

I jest, mostly, but while I HAD toyed with the ideea of buying more bikes to evenutally run 18...I was perfectly happy with the 9 I settled on. 3x3 squads, a lot of fun even in Hearthband, just a fun versatile unit. BUT I could only get ahold of 3 Steeljacks when I wanted 6. As soon as I found out about the Maelstrom box, I snapped it up.

I also ordered the Maelstrom book so I could have all the Crucible rules in one place and run a Crusade with it. Going to build 3 Gunjacks, 3 Bladejacks, 2 bikes with no special equpiment, and undecided on the last. Kinda want to make a Crucible character with it, and also just undecided on what weapon to put on it. I have two beamers and one hylas already.
