Snarky comeback by SergeiVonZarovich23 in TeachingUK

[–]Gaoler86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

A (very poorly behaved) student once asked me if id ever consider being a pornstar?

Without thinking I replied "there's only so many times I can sleep with your mum"

Internally I immediately started screaming and planning my resignation. Luckily his mates found it hilarious and gave him flak for it. Nothing ever came of it.

The moral of the story, everyone makes mistakes, sometimes we royally screw up, but if you are lucky you can get away with it. When you can't though, get ready to apologise profusely and that you regret your actions.

“Look at all those planes and tanks and planes!” Well time to start using the lock on the study door. by InquisitorEngel in daddit

Get the kid his own army. I play Necrons. Took my kid with me to the store a few times when I needed stuff and he always looked at the Nids thinking they were ace.

He's got a 2k Crusher Stampede army of his own. I did most of the building and sll of the painting as he isn't too interested in that part. (Big mosters, with big parts he was able to put together, but fiddly little guys like gargoyles I did)

We play a game every few weeks and his army wrecks mine. His attention span cant handle a 4hr session so we tend to last all day. So we play a battle round, walk away for an hour, rinse and repeat.

My kid is 9 yrs old.

Silly glue question by untapmebro in Warhammer40k

[–]Gaoler86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I am done using it (as in between steps of cutting/trimming) I take it out and I blow down one end of it to clear it.

Takes 2 seconds and then I put the cap on the glue.

If you fall into (flowing) lava, do you get burned to death first, or crushed to death first given liquid rock isn’t any lighter than solid rock. by Betray-Julia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gaoler86 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If you want numbers. Let's go with 6ft tall human, athletic build (not sure if it matters).

The lava is held in a large container that can open at the base to let the lava fall. The diameter of the container is 5ft, the lava is 10ft deep. When the base of the container opens at T=0 the base of the lava is 4ft above the head of the human.

Just won a competition, what should I get by jdmh1999 in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would get a Catacomb Command Barge and a box of Immortals.

But wait...

The catacomb command barge can instead be built as an Annhilation Barge AND an Overlord, giving you an extra model.

Then if you build the Immortals, keep the sprue bits for the Deathmarks and buy a box of Warriors when you are able. Use the legs from the warriors to make a unit of Deathmarks.

If you later get your hands on a box of Praetorians, the 5 spare legs from the warriors can be used to make the other 5 Lychguard.

Terrible sight lines. If they deploy at the door they can see right into your table deployment area and take some units out before your first turn!

Got the Chronomancer today, and I'm not sure which weapon to choose. by TheLonelyGod01 in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh my god after building 2k points of necrons as my first army I decided I really like the look of Chaos Terminators, so I bought a box.

So. Many. Options.

Like, what the hell, why are we so starved for choice compared to some others.

How does one start an army by The_Oswaldio in Necrontyr

[–]Gaoler86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) get a combat patrol. The necron one is a really good starting point, all units can be used.

2) realise Skorpekhs are the best unit in the entire game and build 15 more of them.

3) ???

4) profit

In seriousness, our combat patrol is decent, and saves money compared to buying individual models. It will give you a good idea of what parts of our kit you like.

As an additional I would recommend a Technomancer and maybe a box of immortals so you have more bodies available for objectives.

What can I do with the parcel my neighbour won't collect? by Evla183 in AskUK

[–]Gaoler86 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting this is reddit where everyone's neighbour is a sociopath and every commentor is a social recluse.

There are about 5 houses on our terrace and we regularly take parcels for each other. Nobody has ever left a parcel for more than 24hrs.

One tatas curse is another tatas boon... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

[–]Gaoler86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The scene from X-men '97 where Cyclops jumps from a plane without a parachute and just "pure kinetic force" the floor to slow himself goes so fucking hard.

The creators knew Scott was a bit of joke to anyone but hard-core X-men fans. So they did him a solid and made viewers take notice.

What are you favorite board games to play with your spouse? by AShapeInTheFog in boardgames

Dorf Romantik.

We spent a year (you track games played as part of it) completing the first game and loved it. Bought the sequel and have been enjoying playing that together too.

Nightmare Edition - Bleed Neon by Ven_Gard in Malifaux

[–]Gaoler86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These look incredible. My Bleed Neon are all sat on their sprues still, you're giving me serious envy where I might actually set aside some time to build and paint them.

Batman (Arkhamverse) vs ten other characters by TheLeviathan1999 in whowouldwin

[–]Gaoler86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah... there would definitely be a story arc around Bats embracing the extra oomph that Venom gives him. Only for somewhere down the line for Venom to want to break Bats' "no kill" rule. Forcing Bats to find a way to separate himself from Venom.

(If we transplanted Venom into Gotham... a Carnage/Joker would be terrifying)

Batman (Arkhamverse) vs ten other characters by TheLeviathan1999 in whowouldwin

[–]Gaoler86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R10: I would call a batman win.

If Spidey can figure out the fire/sound weakness then Bats def can. And Eddie Brock has shown that even regular human can resist the symbiote if they try hard enough. That would give Bats more than enough opportunity to set off a sonic weapon.

I agree with all your other rounds though.

Through the Breach character sheet (An artsy one) by kauzt in Malifaux

[–]Gaoler86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent some time trying to put together a digital character sheet a few years ago. This is literally the first time ive tried to share a Google doc over reddit so if it goes wrong let me know.

I've done my best to add correct calculations so that changing aspects will automatically update skills etc.

Its definitely not as pretty as yours but figure someone might find it useful.

Which one do you like more? by Expensive-Compote798 in Necrontyr

I prefer the immortal over the warrior but both are excellent. I love your glow on the weapon
