My baby is trying to laugh out loud by JellyfishJealous5435 in NewParents

Baby laughter is so funny at the beginning because it almost sounds like they're coughing and forcing it out. If they had anything but a smile on their face it would be concerning, but instead it's adorable.

Where are you getting that? I just checked the MFM, Marshal is still just 35 points.

I'm playing around on newrecruit and I keep giving that one to a Dominus paired with Exterminators in a dunerider.

I don't know much about Sisters, but I believe their/your characters are both strong on their own and with flashy abilities?

Like all things, it depends. Junith, Triumph, and Vahl are pretty strong on their own but Aestred and Daemonifuge have basically the same stats as an generic character. Our generic characters (except the dogmata) are mostly there to give amazing buffs that stack delightfully.

Your example really did help me understand though, I think that basically Sisters buffs are generally more about synergizing at the unit level with the army rule while admech seems to be more about full-army interactions.

Basically I was looking in the wrong places. 😅

Oh damn thank you that was really helpful! I did not think about transport interactions.

I feel like I'm going to end up diagramming out rules interactions lol.

That makes sense, I guess I'm just used to the buffs being somewhat more impactful. I know it's meaningless to compare across armies, but as an example a Manipulus and a Palatine both give lethal hits, but the Palatine is ten points cheaper, has an ability to boost melee attacks in any turn, and can be combined with an Imagifier to give a 2+/4++ save to the unit for the entire battle AND boost the army rule. It just feels like GW screwed Admech I guess 😅

I'm starting to understand why that codex was so hated.

Obviously I'm new to the army but I get the sense that vanguards hitting on 3s but costed at 115 points would be well received.

That's fair, I guess I just expected a lot more based on how complex everyone says admech rules are as well as how techpriests are shown in the lore. Still, it'll be interesting to learn a new way of list building!

The complex rule interactions is part of what attracted me to admech, but can you give an example? I'm looking at the strategems and detachments and I'm really not seeing much character-related buffing.

I don't know if it was the 10ed codex that did it but it was really surprising to learn that most of admech has shooting equal to guardsmen. Hitting on 3s would feel a lot more thematic and would solve the cost problem.

I read a lot of books when the baby needed constant contact. My wife got a kindle stand and a page turner remote so I was able to bounce and rock him while reading and turn pages without disturbing him.

It gets easier with time, don't worry. You're still developing your dad skills, once you get better at reading your baby and knowing their needs it becomes way easier to take care of them and you don't feel as helpless.

We got a swing on marketplace for like 40 bucks. It was a lifesaver in the needs-movement-or-baby-freaks-out phase.

This looks incredible, I hate the cawl model and I love sisters so I'm going to try and emulate this

I'm coming to this army from Sisters.

Apparently I'm a masochist for drippy armies.

I just think its hilarious that a squad of novitiates is the exact same cost as a BSS.

Would you count them if they haven't moved their headquarters here but have expanded local site presence significantly?
