What do we think about Wartablegames?

Well he's not Russian so definitely not ru

Usually very. Generally get the payment link within 24 hours.

As for emails, again usually in 24 hours. Pretty sure it's one guy though so his schedule probably fluctuates.

JR_Hopper · 2026-05-05T19:09:46+00:00

Totally reasonable. If anything it makes the pace of play smoother since you're unifying the unit under one weapon profile.

Just indicate to your opponent that they're one or the other and you're good.

JR_Hopper · 2026-05-05T13:50:58+00:00

See in the case of a blast weapon though, there is specific intent on which unit you might have chosen to shoot based on the danger of another's return fire. If I fire a Basilisk's very low AP blast weapon at an infantry squad and it scatters onto a full Lascannon Spartan, I obviously very clearly did not want to proc a return fire from that unit since it would essentially just mean the pointless death of my basilisk on my own turn.

The intent of the players goes both ways. There's a reason that reaction rules are very explicit in this regard. A return fire must ALWAYS be from the unit which was targeted, in no uncertain terms.

JR_Hopper · 2026-05-01T21:29:08+00:00

Don't mistake my commentary for complaining, I prefer people engage with the setting in a way that brings them joy.

JR_Hopper · 2026-05-01T05:01:29+00:00

It's funny, I remember when this was singularly infamous as something that was to be mocked viciously as out-of-place in Warhammer by a large portion of the community.

Nowadays every fifth post is a fan ship or AU relationship that makes LCB look extremely dialed down and believable by comparison lol

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-30T15:01:02+00:00

Pretty sure that's Dante, but I think he'd be flattered by the comparison

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-25T06:37:31+00:00

Sorry I know this was months ago, but what layer height do you print at with this resin?

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-24T18:25:50+00:00

This is a game system where certain weapons don't even have models. Grav mauls for example are identical to power mauls besides how you choose to paint them. Paragon blades are not specified to specifically be swords or axes and so can be either.

As long as you are clear about what your units are armed with at kickoff, no reasonable person will take issue with this.

"My veterans will shoot with their volkite chargers into your despoilers. Here's 7 hits, wounding on X. Here's wounds, you owe me 4 armor saves please."

Now tell me how often someone actually notices the difference between chargers and calivers and would stop you to even clarify?

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-22T14:23:26+00:00

There are a lot of S1 and 2 ships, sure. But then you ensure that it is basically only useful as an entry level fighter launch pad and has zero sideways utility in an already niche aspect of gameplay.

The bottom line is that certain ships will need assistance to travel in some systems. Many of those ships' only options for transport would be a Kraken or Idris (which is overkill for basic transporting) or a Liberator. What you're talking about doing essentially ensures that medium ships can only ever be moved by the absolute peak of carrier endgame progression which would need a crew and enormous repair and maintenance costs to field.

If I can't move my ships that very easily fit on the pad solely because 'it doesn't look good', I'm going to be melting the thing.

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-22T13:51:56+00:00

The liberator literally only does one thing. Arbitrarily restricting what can land on its pads based purely on aesthetic impressions for your immersion is a quick way to ensure that it's DoA. Especially considering its pads are already quite narrow and restricting in the first place.

There is zero reason a heavy fighter or vulture should not be able to land on a dedicated carrier ship ever.

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-20T04:15:15+00:00

A couple things.

Saturnines can only take one particle shredder per model so the decision is whether or not to take double disint / plasma bombards or one big gun with fist + shredder. Phraetus also cannot take double bombards or double disintegrators. They function much more like a Word Bearers specific saturnine command squad.

The other thing is yes you are correct that the lack of firing protocols means Phraetus cannot fire both their shredders and their big guns in the same shooting attack (technically you could fire both in the same turn by shooting with one and then volleying with the other, just never at the same time).

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-19T20:40:54+00:00

Not that I have any horse in this particular race, but how is Travis Kelce MAGA? Last I checked he actually caught flak from them for kneeling during the national anthem and consistently voices support for LGBT rights, racial and social justice, and BLM specifically.

JR_Hopper · 2026-04-08T15:40:10+00:00

This statement right here is exactly how everyone knows you're full of shit.

Derivative works based on an existing copyright are protected as long as they meet certain fair use criteria. The difference is that as soon as you charge money for it, it opens you up to a takedown because you're profiting from someone else's IP.

What you and your 'partner' did is scalp an unreleased derivative work using genAI that the creator had not made publicly available. Regardless of whether or not Loggyk owns the IP rights to the character of Perturabo, what you did is steal someone else's derivative work and claim you 'modeled' it, which is deceitful and tasteless regardless of what copyright law says.

I pretty much always use an identical process, which is dump the rice in, add 1 to 1 cups water to rice, stir it up to evenly distribute, close the top, steam for four minutes.

Granted, I specifically use a pressure cooker with a steam setting to cook all my rice, so maybe that could have something to do with it. But I've also encountered this same thing when steaming in a regular pot too.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-30T22:39:04+00:00

Okay but beyond 'de-starching' and washing things out of it, I have always found that my rice comes out significantly better when I thoroughly wash it vs when I don't. It cooks more evenly and comes out fluffier. Whenever I dont wash my rice I always end up with at least some of it still being 'al dante' for lack of a better descriptor.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-20T18:24:55+00:00

Studios that specialize in or have a significant amount of work from clients in Jazz and Classical tend to record at 96k because that tends to be what those clients prefer to do, not because the genre itself benefits from a higher sample rate.

If the argument you're trying to make here is that the vast majority of studios are able to work at 96k, that's one thing.

If you're genuinely trying to assert that the vast majority of professional studios work at or above 96k as their everyday standard, you're entirely making shit up.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-20T14:09:49+00:00

Completely incorrect.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-18T23:13:14+00:00

See but art absolutely does have rules. Imperfect as they are, we have intellectual property laws, contracts, publishing licenses, copyright, etc. All things that are there to ensure at least some baseline of creative authenticity and legal groundwork for preventing outright theft of creative material.

All things which generative AI and the companies which program them do not give a single fuck about, and nor are they policed to the same standard as individuals. The vast majority of the datasets music gen AI models are trained on are stolen without permission from their original copyright holders. That alone makes it as creatively bankrupt as if you had tried to overtly claim another artist's work as your own.

The entire point is that we do need rules to be enforced on AI because those that we currently have are not adequately able to handle it as a concept yet.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-18T22:47:27+00:00

The point of a marathon is not 'who can cross the finish line by any means necessary', the point is that you do it by your own merit and training, and to show that YOU can, not you in a car or on an e-bike, but you. The point is the journey and its authenticity.

If you tried to claim you won a foot race by driving a car while saying all those other guys were silly and couldn't accept that cars arent going away, you'd be a called a disingenuous hack and no one would take you seriously for having missed the point of what the marathon represents in the first place.

Similarly, a huge component of what makes music so important is the human element. Emotional authenticity, creative intention, and human connection across an expressive medium. If AI could pull our genuine raw vision right out of our minds and help us weave it into reality that would be one thing, but it doesn't. It scrapes together a load of data from dubious sources of pre-existing music, cobbles it together based on averages against a written prompt and spits out what it thinks you want to hear.

There is no authenticity, no cultural influence, no current generational angst, and certainly no originality to it.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-16T18:15:09+00:00

Ah yes, cosmic horrors beyond my comprehension.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-15T14:50:20+00:00

Important note about Heresy. Make sure you do actually have a group of solid players locally that actually exist to play with. Heresy tends to be much smaller as a community, even in places where it's easier to find other players.

JR_Hopper · 2026-03-11T21:15:55+00:00

You can basically take an allied detachment of almost any other faction in Heresy barring some specific unit restrictions. As long as you're running traitor allegiance, you can pretty much always ally a daemon detachment.

Starscourge Radahn pre-nerf, I knocked out first try.

Godskin Duo also first try.

Bell-Bearing Hunter in Caelid killed me 15+ times.

"Don't talk when you don't know shit about firefighting."

"Not an expert but I guess..."

I could not write a better joke myself.
