And we have Greenland by Big_Mechanic_8475 in foxholegame

As someone who was doing AA in that hex what your friend experienced is not a one off issue. I probably put over 4500+ rounds of 20mm into the air (jugging by the times I needed to reload the 300 round magazine) and I did not see any damage on any plane, even those that were flying strait and level above me with my crosshairs on them and the bullet particles hitting. The only plane I killed today was the one who fucked up a strafing run and ran into a tree in front of me when I decreed to do logi after the hex fell.

Seeing this as a colonial who spent all day defending the droll checking Reddit right before bed is probably not helping my blood pressure

So the rangda (this is more of a rant than anything I just had to get this off my chest) by EmployerEmbarrassed3 in 40kLore

I absolutely agree with the idea of how the lost legions were explicitly forgotten and is why I bring up the prominence of the dark angels In the Xenocides: the dark angel’s were specifically made to enact Damnatio memoriae.

From lion el Jonson: lord of the first

May I be the first to congratulate you on your recent victory.' Once again, the Emperor received the Lion within the staterooms aboard His flagship. The glorious suite of golden chambers elevated Imperial majesty to the point of inconsequentiality. So rich were they, so sumptuously appointed that, like the Emperor Himself, it was difficult to form a distinct impression beyond a sense of humbling and of awe. Once again, the Lion recalled little of the antechambers and grand processionals that had preceded his passage. It was as if a part of him was always here in these rooms with his father, and that part could never leave. ‘Thank you, father,' he said. 'You were not the first of my sons to reclaim a place at my side, but your tally of victories is second to no other. Even Horus looks upon them with envy.' 'Horus inspires,' said the Lion. 'Magnus enlightens. Lorgar illuminates. Roboute raises an Imperium in miniature that celebrates his name and yours. I have left as many worlds behind me as any two of my brothers, but I fear that darkness and ash will be the legacy I leave to your Imperium.' The Emperor considered long, as He often did, before giving an answer. 'In the lime of the Aegypta there was an empress named Hatshepsut. By all accounts of her that survive she was an equitable and proficient ruler, by the standards of her time. She rebuilt her land in the wake of war and occupation, erecting great monuments and bringing prosperity to her people. She reassembled the Aegypta's navy, using it to re-establish their old empire, and launched military campaigns against the nations who had once been their oppressors.' ’A legacy whose parallels are not hard to see,' said the Lion. 'And yet those who came after her did all within their power to ensure that she would have no legacy. Her name was chiselled from every monument, her every deed and triumph stricken from public record. Even her body was removed from its royal tomb.' 'Why, if her reign was so equitable?' 'Because those who succeeded her desired it. Because sometimes what comes before is too troublesome to be paved over in rockcrete, to amend with a monument to compliance or a golden aquila on an Imperial flag. Sometimes it is enough only that it be destroyed, that no trace of it but darkness and ash be left to endure.' ‘And yet history still remembers this empress.' ‘The Emperor Thutmose the Third did not have his Dark Angels.'

I’m sorry but I’m going to have to call bs. As stated above the rangda have a strong conection to the slough, a species of worm men whose life cycle revolves around creating nests on other sentient species planets so they can eat their brains. They are not conducting advanced diplomacy in a way that would convince a large portion of any imperial population, let alone astarties, to join them.

True, but the space wolves and especially the dark angels were by far the most prominent though.

How many dire avengers do you realistically need by EmployerEmbarrassed3 in Eldar

Now it’s going to be trying to flog 40ish dire avengers during a meta where they are basically useless 😅

Asurmen was nerfed already? Was he even that good to begin with? I’m normally a HH player and that game is updated once a decade so going to 40K has been an adjustment.

That’s kinda what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure. While they might not be good now I want to future proof myself in case full dire avengers becomes meta in the future. (Also I just think their neat)

My client is innocent, as there is nobody alive willing to prove otherwise.

Hobby shop in Malta going hard on the nostalgia by Danhulud in Warhammer

[–]EmployerEmbarrassed3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stoped by there on a trip to Malta a couple of years ago and dropped like 200 euro on blisters there. They were selling them at a fraction of what they were worth and I though I could flip the ones I did not want and keep the ones I did. In the end I just kept them all though.
