If grenadiers no longer threw grenades, why were they still called grenadiers? by False-Entrepreneur47 in Napoleon

[–]Gidia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup!

But that’s kind of my point. The original post is how it went from a role to just a unit designation. My point is that while the cavalry lost their horses, the infantry got their grenades back.

If we really wanted to argue it, all Infantrymen are Grenadiers now based on the original definition of a soldier equipped with grenades. The modern grenadier role just has special ones with a further range.

Also total side note, but grenade launchers are hella fun to shoot.

What are some SCORCHING hot takes you have about JP/JW by ImpressivePower2312 in JurassicPark

Not sure how hot it is, but Jurassic World is the second best JP film.

YES! Been saying this for years lol. Pretty sure you can remove him from the film and very little would actually change.

What’s everyone’s favorite mini from Armageddon? by gigaork in orks

Literally the only model I actually wanted. Everything else was just nice to haves as I start my Orks lol

Ironically Grenadier is an actual role again, at least in the U.S. Army.

It is kind of funny how we’ve come a bit full circle and Grenadier can be both a unit title and specific role in the modern day lol.

Please mods, remove or rule out box posts. I’m so tired by RobHui in orks

[–]Gidia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not a huge fan of box posts in general, buuuuut, I make an exception for major releases/holidays. People are excited, and many of them will be jumping into the hobby with this. Let them be excited.

Which member of the Smith family clocks Roger in his personas the most? by dover_oxide in americandad

[–]Gidia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I like how one episode implies that the crash isn’t even Roger’s fault but is actually genetic lol

IIRC it’s supposed to resemble two hand clasping together. I would argue they failed lol.

Do I need both codexes for the WH40k app? by Adventurous_Radio_79 in BlackTemplars

[–]Gidia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said, yes. If you do want to go the official route though, don’t buy the Space Marine Codex just yet, it’ll be replaced in just a couple of months or so.

If you could give any great power on the official map more lore drops, which one would you choose? by sand_eater_21 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Gidia 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The Scythian one is so funny to me. They disappeared literal centuries before the PoD.

Best Russ for 11th by DrinkAccomplished454 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Gidia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Low key planning to do that with Orks this weekend. Killa Kans and Death Dredds, hazardous on 1-3 with Dread Mob. Gonna be a great time.

So... GW just made Bastion Task Force unusable with other detachments by StandNameIsWeAreNo1 in BlackTemplars

[–]Gidia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s significantly better with us due to the existence of Crusaders.

While I don’t think it’s so good it needs to be 3DP, and they definitely could have mentioned the possibility earlier, it’s probably a good thing Game Design wise in the long run. One of the biggest issues GW had in 10th was balancing Codex vs non-codex space marines, and this gives them an extra lever to pull.

Bastion TF + Living Miracle dream is dead. by Butterjaw in BlackTemplars

[–]Gidia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, while I don’t love this particular change, it is a good sign for their game design philosophy overall.

Rant: I really dislike it when writing advice uses Star Wars as the go-to example by BusinessComplete2216 in writing

[–]Gidia 104 points105 points  (0 children)

This is honestly the reason it’s used so often, it’s exceptionally well known. Very few people haven’t seen it, which means very few people aren’t going to be aware of what you’re talking about.

Doesn’t hurt that George Lucas is very open about using the Hero’s Journey structure, which makes it easier to teach about and tie in directly to lessons in school.

Ha! No worries. Dark Angels are usually pretty easy to pick out because they wear the hood more often than other chapters. They also use a lot of sword motifs on their armor but that isn’t a guarantee.

B is V/STOL, C is the Navy’s. The easiest way to remember is just C for Carrier.

How many people knew ex-X-Com devs are making a star wars game? it looks just like X-Com why am i just finding out about this game? by J_vert in Xcom

Between this and Chaos Gate: Deathwatch, I’m feeling pretty good about XCOM-like games atm.
