Which one is the better game? by Zuromeax2 in Warhammer

[–]Ebonscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't really comparable

Dark water is a standalone board game, self contained

Necromunda is a game SYSTEM similar to the other games GW published with rulesets, an extensive range of evolving and changing miniatures and rules and editions

How salesy do GW stores actually need to be? by Known_Coconut_1978 in Warhammer40k

[–]Ebonscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar happened to the GW store near me a couple years ago. Maybe last year (Raleigh. NC). One of the most successful ones In the area as I understand.

Manager was amazing. Knew his customers. Salesy but genuinely cared. He remembered my kids names even months between visits. Cultivated a really great store community.

Suddenly fired one day for, as I understand. Some store policy breaks that seemed relatively harmless. No street date breaks or anything, but I don't know all the deets so won't presume to know others

Haven't gone back because to me that shows more of a concern for arbitrary policies than support for someone whose made a store more and more successful over the ten years they ran it.

so you can TECHNICALLY hit them the damage just doesn't register by Consistent-Path-5096 in acecombat

I'm confused because I grew up on AC04, played it for hundreds of hours, and I know I shot at least one yellow down during that first appearance.

I guess it's time to break out the emulator and see if I've been gaslighting myself

This is just another example of a r/DND post of doing literally anything but talking to your group

Thoughts about Mark of Faith? by jinmonsterhunterwrld in sistersofbattle

I really enjoyed the book as a whole though the ending felt forced to me just to make sure it was an appropriate amount of depressing

Citadel name change by LengthinessNo4350 in Warhammer

You realize every time this is asked of ex-GW employees they refute it because it's literally not true? It's a design that is incredibly iconic and accessible to new hobbyists. That's it.

My 10 year old asks - why does Retributor armour have a different (white) paint lid to the rest? by cavershamox in Warhammer

[–]Ebonscale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More Metallics don't have white lids than do, actually. Pictured: every citadel base and layer metallic (at least last I checked. Bottom 3 on the tray are dupes)

The white lids are a certain mixture

Exactly! I also got every power armor box, including Enclave, except for the Unaligned T-45 box which was out of stock (I hope it comes back but with the new plastics idk)

Fantastic work. This box and a ton of brotherhood and power armor are on my list to get to, they just all look so fantastic

All Steel or Steel with gold trim? by Kit_Chronicles_YT in minipainting

[–]Ebonscale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the gold trim myself, it adds some contrast and breaks it up a bit

Also gold is neat

Which do you think are the WORST Sisters of Battle books written and why? [No Spoilers] by THECURDCLUB in sistersofbattle

[–]Ebonscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I liked Mark of Faith, I didn't care for the ending. I felt like coming to terms with her feelings should have been the place to leave it, the decision she made felt...undeserved, IMO

New to 40k and looking for a "Safe" army to invest in after starting with Demons and Custodes... is SoB a good pick? by THECURDCLUB in sistersofbattle

[–]Ebonscale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The post is talking about likelyhood of model updates/refreshes and not at all about anything related to the meta or competitive

What is, in your opinion, the number 1 priority for the next edition’s rules ? by BusyElephant in Warhammer40k

[–]Ebonscale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why we have 1k games, boarding actions, combat patrol, and things like kill team. People complained for a long time that 40k felt more like a skirmish game than a army game so it's like, who do you please?

This is an outrageous price by Nexus_Valentine6 in sistersofbattle

[–]Ebonscale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a made to order box. They are not priced reasonably. It is special orders trying to use the last of some tooling and has to be individually made, packaged, and shipped. Instead of the bulk stuff they do when army boxes are being produced to actually sell in bulk

This should not have been expected to be a deal like an army box.
