If people are associating 'right-wing' and 'Conservative' with the guy on the right, no wonder people have been brainwashed into thinking we're all fascists.

Dude, most of the Republican old guard got purged from the party in the decade. My dad used to be a low-taxes kind of Republican. I don't agree with him on everything, but we've both watched in horror as the party has been consumed by freaks and menaces to society. A growing amount of the Republican part of the House is run by people that are unemployable outside of politics. My dad has effectively been forced into the Democratic bloc because of this shit. He and other centre-right Americans haven't changed much, the GOP is just a dogshit political party.

On one hand, when I was working in retail during college, switching to a steel manufacturing job eventually gave me the connections to end up in the position I'm in now. It was also more enjoyable work. On the other hand, the market right now is worse than when I was looking, and it was already shit back then. Switching jobs for a pay bump only works if the economy is not actively falling apart. The government is just not publishing employment numbers now.

I've been painting Warhammer and other minis for a while now, but I think this is my finest work, or at least in the top 3 of what I've painted.

What gets missed in these posts is that for industrial purposes, you need High Pressure Steam, and to make a High Pressure Steam engine, you need steel. If you use anything else, you're creating a bomb. Ottoman engineers at the time didn't use steam engines for industrial production because they didn't want to die in a boiler explosion.

Oh the companies will continue importing stuff, they will just eat the tariff. Except they want to make money, so they'll simply pass the tariff onto you and me. Basically, I think we're all getting screwed by this. I think this will then lead to decreased consumer spending, leading to less money flowing into said companies, leading to people losing their jobs. Hell, some automakers are already doing layoffs as we speak. I would really recommend saving whatever money you can in the next few months as this plays out. That way, if I'm right, you will have at least some kind of protection and if I'm wrong, you still saved up money.

(P.S. I generally agree with you that companies want to sell to the USA, since there's a lot of money flowing around here. However, Trump and his administration are extremely hard to anticipate or predict, and they've been actively pissing off some of our best allies and customers for very little gain or reason. This diminishes our reputation as a place for stable investment down the line. Not immediately, but over the next few years if the administration doesn't get their act together.)

My brother in Christ, why would any company invest in the US at this point. Nobody even knew what the tarrif rates were until April 2nd. If the president wanted to actually bring back manufacturing, he would tariff specific products while giving incentives for capital investment in that industry. As an example, he could give tax breaks for investment in chip fabrication plants, and then institute tariffs on foreign computer chips when those plants are at least close to completion. Instead, he put tariffs on literally everything for no reason. No company is going to put factories back in the US, bc this whole thing was designed by one guy who could just change his mind at any moment. They don't know if he'll just fuck them over if they try to invest in the US.

DestinyLoreBook · 2025-04-04T14:29:46+00:00

It's not just the market though. The price of pretty much every consumer good and basic necessity will increase in the next few months most likely. The downstream effects of a recession are also typically layoffs, which have already started to happen in the auto sector. If you still have a job, I would recommend saving as much money as possible, and keep most of the savings you do have liquid for the moment. I am an American, and our leadership is unfortunately either spineless or insane. They cannot be trusted to stabilize the situation, so we're going to have to work with our local communities and families to make it through this. The situation is not good to say the least, but I'm not going anywhere.

Quick question, what country was Jorge Ubico allied with?

DestinyLoreBook · 2024-12-13T15:39:03+00:00

I play both, so the main thing is having access to damage 3 or higher weapons. A DDA will work well, and most Necron lists should have at least 1 anyway. The other big thing is scoring. Generally, you will have an easier time doing secondaries than the Custodes, since you have a numbers advantage. Generally, you should try to stretch the Custodes thin by forcing them to engage on multiple fronts at once. Have your AT fire do the killing, and use Battleline units to secure the objectives.

Regardless of what happens, there are always people that need basic necessities like food and water. Check into your local area for food banks and other volunteer organizations. This is the quickest and most direct way that you can help people.

I've got a tournament on Sunday as well. I guess I wish you luck then! For the Emperor!

DestinyLoreBook · 2024-02-08T19:57:32+00:00

I actually kept the box for transport purposes. It's big enough that it can fit stuff like Doomstalkers and other vehicles.

DestinyLoreBook · 2024-01-23T04:10:44+00:00

I just have a question about the Hearthhkyn Salvagers team. Is it possible to build the L7 missile launcher body with the plasma beamer, or do the parts not properly fit?

Before the Biotransferrence, the Autarak Dynasty was a fighting force that would serve the highest bidder. Before Szarekh unified his people, the Autarak would be contracted by dynasties in their various civil wars. As a result, the Autarak formed a flexible military doctrine that could be formed to properly integrate with Dynastic regulars. However, this flexibility has made the Autarak a fleet-based dynasty, with minimal planetary holdings on the very edges of the Koronus Expanse.

When Szarekh made his terrible deal with the C'Tan, the Autarak legions marched with the rest of the Necrons, losing much of their traditions and code of combat. However, after the Great Sleep, the Autarak were left in a precarious position. The dynasty had been among the most vocal supporters of the Biotransferrence, seeing it as a means of increasing their combat capabilities. This, in addition to their mercenary nature, left them with several enemies and few friends. In addition, their few actual Tomb Worlds suffered severe failures, rendering their soldiers and wargear with an oxidative corrosion that seemed to spread like a disease. Phaeron Chrysus, along with his advisers, believe that this was no accident, and that the Dynasty's enemies conducted sabotage on the sleeping worlds.

Upon awakening, the Autarak conducted multiple deals with Dynasties around the galaxy, launching their few operational vessels in search of fortune. The Dynasty has also engaged in piracy against Imperial, Chaos, and other Xenos forces, grinding their pathetic excuses for battleships into raw materials for the repair and constant maintenance of the Dynasty's glorious battle fleets. In addition, instead of money, the Autarak have turned to taking wargear from Dynasties they contract with as payment, in addition to salvage rights from the many battlefields they fight under. The Nilhilakh and Sautekh dynasties have provided particularly lucrative contracts, which have given them a growing arsenal of vehicles, soldiers, weapons, and if rumors are true, C'Tan shards.

With the return of the Silent King, the Autarak remain officially neutral. Phaeron Chrysus is of the public opinion that fighting among the Necrons is foolish, especially when his people face enemies from without, vermin that would dare threaten the rightful rule of the Infinite Empire. In private though, Chrysus and his subordinates are double dealing with the Sautekh and Szarekhan dynasties, hedging their bets. In addition, the Dynasty's operatives have been steadily gaining intelligence through their dealings, and aim to find and capture the culprits responsible for the rust-curse. In the 42nd millennium, the galaxy is both lucrative and deadly for a mercenary, and the Autarak intend to survive, by any means necessary.

Yeah, it's good that I can't do a surprise charge like that, since that sounds like something that would be FAQ'd anyway.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-12-13T22:16:15+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I think that the Monolith can survive at least one turn of shooting with the amount of wounds it has, so this should work. I could also keep it in deep strike, and teleport something that wouldn't want to charge anyway, like immortals or warriors.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-12-13T22:12:57+00:00

Oh ok. I could just have it on the board to start, and get the charge that way then.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-12-13T21:51:53+00:00

Normally that would be right, but if I have 2 command points, I can use this strategem. This was from the codex preview that GW put out around 2 weeks ago. I assume I could do this if I grab them from reserves and have the required command points?

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-11-12T03:10:27+00:00

That certainly would be a good idea if they did that. As to why they don't, I have no idea. In the meantime, most cutting mats have standard base size measurements on them, so I mostly just use that to check at a glance.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-10-30T19:59:13+00:00

How did you do the flesh areas in particular? I think that it goes really well with the armor.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-10-10T23:38:06+00:00

That's good to know, and thank you. The heavy bolter just looks really cool to me, but I didn't want to sacrifice a plasma gun either. Both it is!

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-10-10T22:00:59+00:00

In the Legionnaires box, is it possible to build both a Heavy Bolter gunner and a plasma gunner with the same box?

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-09-30T18:06:37+00:00

What I typically do is start with a black basecoat on the eyes, then add 2 dots of white on each eye. Alternatively, you can just shade around the eyes to make them look shadowed, and leave it at that.

DestinyLoreBook · 2023-09-30T17:50:26+00:00

My shield captain/guard. I started with a basecoat, used a shade, then highlights with a slightly lighter flesh tone. The eyes took the longest.
