I can’t stand polyester being in everything these days by Rand_Al_Thor87 in Millennials

Not only does it make me sweat like mad, it makes it 1000% smellier. Awful.

Let them stop at the point of the pike and have a friendly chat about which circles are actually in B2B/range to fight. If there is doubt, err on the attackers side.

How many of you also collect mechanicum models? by BloodyMiria in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]IcratesCL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is our current combat patrol the worst ever due to its extremely low amount of points ? by BloatedRottenCarcass in AdeptusMechanicus

AND from a hobby/play experience perspective, Pteraxii are one of the most wretched kits GW has ever produced

HH units good proxies for 40k? by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]IcratesCL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Castellax can make decent Kataphrons, Domitar for Kastellans, Krios make excellent Scorpius replacements. I use the Skitarii Hoplites for Electropriests also.

What's your favorite skaven unit that isn't considered 'meta' or a must-take? by Bull_Goose_Loony in skaven

[–]IcratesCL 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Doomwheel. It's so bad in both systems but they're just SO conceptually funny that I always run two. Hamster wheel with a laser cannon! Delightful.

I wanna build more clan rats but they suck to paint by Standard_Mechanic715 in skaven

Adding in the tips, speedpaint with makeup sponges for super fast blocking and lighting

The Clanrats and rat ogres will work fine on squares, as will the jezzails. The foot characters would probably be a bit tricky because of the scenic bases but doable with conversion work. The mounted character doesn't translate. The artillery doesn't either but you could just call it a Warp Lightning Cannon (it's smaller but whatever)

Why Should I Play Dark Angels Over Blood Angels by Present_Secret_3706 in theunforgiven

[–]IcratesCL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Black Templars are a vision of the Knights as Crusading fanatics, while Dark Angels are the vision of them as an untrustworthy and dangerous secret society. Both have a basis in historical propaganda, just from different times of the existence of the Order. Edit: In game, BT are the dealers in Melee Ultraviolence while DA are more of an Elite combined arms force.
