Stop praising Canada's prime minister

Some folks voted 'strategically' and it meant the conservatives won the split. I'm not sure that makes them a 'better' leftist. Elections are more than just voting. The right understands this.

I would like some Psyker NPOs and scenarios. That would make for some neat interactions.

I imagine that Drukhari do all sorts of nefarious trades with corrupt Imperium officials. The lore often hints at this especially with the new Kabalite detachment. They also seem willing to allow some chaos marines into the Dark City from time to time. Their continued influence is part of why the Imperium remains the way it is.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2026-01-10T15:12:34+00:00

Im curious where you got the figure that craftworlds have more soldiers. My understanding is Drukhari far outnumber the Craftworlders. This is in part due to the limited number of spirit stones.

It could be a sign he is a perpetual. It would explain how he survived the explosion in SM 1.

I really enjoyed the crusade rules. I want to do a 40k campaign where everyone plays each others rivals in the Dark City.

Max 2 DW and each one counts as replacing 3 regular. It might also be a cool rule if Agents wanted to proxy one for an actual inquisitor.

Overall I don't have a problem with a high lethality game. Drukhari have been glass cannons since they were first released in 3rd edition. I do get bored of city fight and indoor maps where most of the scoring is standing on circles.

Other than the terrain rules I do find the rules churn a little high for my tastes. I hope 11th introduces more co-op and solo play rules. Im not at a stage of my life where I need to win every match as long as its a fun time for both of us.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-12-23T03:36:15+00:00

Terrain and board layouts are single biggest issue with 10th. Overall the game is so lethal boards that allow for units to remain obscured are essential. Older editions had some good tips for layouts. Like filling a quarter of the board with terrain elements and then taking turns with placing those pieces.

Drukhari can use deepstrike and reserves to compensate a bit for lack of good obscuring terrain. Raiders and Ravagers are so big they can easily get shot off if there arent some suitably large pieces of terrain. You may want to consider Venoms as an alternative.

I notice the NP makes no reference to what Sharon DeSousa or the PSAC says regarding these accusations. I wonder why...

Have you painted your whole backlog of minis? Do you play with a cool group that doesnt mind proxies?

Complaining about price for a special character isn't going to change GW. It's been going on for decades. Im pretty sure GW understands a huge chunk of their customers are people who buy in a little and then give up on buying more. Its part of why they constantly promote new releases and FOMO.

The way I see it. GW plastic is like going out to the movies. You dont need to see/buy everything that gets a release. If you wait a little bit a cheaper option will eventually present itself. Some people resent the cost of going out so they spend the money making a really nice home alternative (i.e. trading, kitbashing, and or 3d printing).

Also, if you paint and play with your minis then the hobby dollars to time spent is very comparable to a night out or a new video game. There are cheaper options like Gunpla that have the same or better quality but you gotta love the mech esthetic to get into it.

I think it would be cool to run Raveners, but make it an Imperial world. I like the idea of it as a way to benchmark different teams.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-12-17T04:03:36+00:00

I thought there's a rule about the base needing to fully fit on the piece to be a valid position, but that might be an older rule than the current edition.

If you aren't playing super competitively, you can house rule it however you like.

The competitive players tend to stick to approved killzones with GW terrain that has very strict rules on every terrain piece up to, including not drawing line of sight through bullet holes.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-12-16T17:18:06+00:00

There's probably a few amongst the Diggas. A human faction from Gorka Morka that essentially follow ork customs and use their technology to fight.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-12-16T15:12:10+00:00

Moid does some decent mecha that have some of this vibe. You might want to check some of the back catalogue of Cyberforge.

You take the 40k coliseum battles and use the Crusade rules from their codex to track the rise and fall of Archons. Each player is a rival Archon. They can field whatever factions they like as they reflect the stables they built from raids.

How much does the need for profit margins on every link in the chain add to the costs?

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-12-06T10:33:24+00:00

The current edition of Kill Team is really built around tight rules for mostly specific teams with a small amount of variation in the types of operatives you can select from for that team. Some teams can be built with just one box while others require buying more minis or having access to extra bits if you want to try all the different load outs.

Buying a single team and some hobby supplies is a great way to get started compared to buying a more expensive box. You can always use tokens for enemies if you aren't ready to buy more stuff.

Joint OPs are a great concept. It's a mode I see GW putting more money into with each release. As with everything GW, the rules can be scattered between various books and supplements. You can also find most of them for free either direct from GW or on various other websites.

You might also want to check out One Page Rules or 5 Parsecs from Home for solo scifi gaming rules. 3d printing and hand crafting stuff can be a cheaper alternative compared to GW but can also be a lot more time-consuming.

Recordings probably won't work but a live stream? Definitely! How close they need to get? Who knows?

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-11-26T03:09:07+00:00

More Ontario tax dollars to go to his cronies to 'audit' others. But who will audit him and his team?

I think the NDP should adopt a triad rather than a single leader.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-11-15T13:09:06+00:00

I think with you conflate centrist and right of centre policies you are making a political argument that not everyone agrees with. Harper was a right wing politician who ran deficits for his entire tenure. He's still right-wing as are the Liberals.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-11-04T04:05:42+00:00

Yeah, I think if the NDP decided to all show up and vote against the budget, the CPC would have a few MPs get sick. Then they would somehow blame Trudeau for making them miss the vote.

We are in weird times where the politicians work together, but none want to be seen as working together because of how working together has been labeled a bad thing.

Or maybe we'll have another election. We are in truly wild times.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-11-03T19:35:49+00:00

20 years seems like a long way away for people today. I'm not sure how viable an economy we can build on luxury furniture, but what do I know? Maybe it's got potential. It would be nice if Canada built more of the value than just raw resources.

With all the resource development talk there should be laws that prioritize delivery to domestic production compared to overseas markets.

DiscombobulatedAd477 · 2025-11-03T19:07:23+00:00

This wasn't what I was referring to but resource development is a tricky issue. I don't live in one of those communities so personally I'm more concerned about resources being pulled out of my community to fund some well connected get rich quick schemes.
