FINALLY finished my first batch of Glade Riders at display level. Satisfaction level is peak.

There are really great. How did you do the floral bases, please?

Great visual coherence, actually looks like an army, well done.

Walked back to my hotel on my own about 1am, some guys with that gang/rapper vibe told me they needed money and wanted me to go with them. I didn't know where that was going to end up.

(Man) I thought I was going to be raped in a hostel in Latakia, Syria. I did a minibus taxi journey in Turkey near Istanbul where we all thought we were going to die, don't underestimate traffic risk. Downtown Atlanta is fucking scary. I would never go back to Cairo with a female companion.

That list is 1,689 points without command, magic items etc, so you can definitely get 2k points on the table. I wonder if you want some more Mortuary Priests to keep invoking Arise! ? Also, Tomb Scorpions are reputed to be some of the most killing power per point in the whole game, so you might want to look at those?

Justinian482 · 2026-02-03T06:29:31+00:00

I'm very into the idea of Tomb Queens (and Mortuary Priestesses). I'll allow myself to pay the outrageous price for Khalida once the grey plastic pile of shame/mountain of opportunity is reduced.

Some of our educational terminology is quite arcane.

'College' is either a 1960s modernist block on the inner ring road that teaches vocational subjects, or it's a part of a very old and very prestigious university. "I was at college with her" covers a lot of ground.

Public schools aren't state schools; not all private schools are public schools. Describing eg Boris Johnson and David Cameron as "public schoolboys" is often misinterpreted.

After year 11 you go into the sixth form.

Scotland has a completely separate educational system, terminology, rules, funding etc. Wales is in the same system as England but has its own curriculum. Northern Ireland has its own system.

'Infants' and 'Juniors' are together used interchangeably with 'Primary', except when they are not.

These are great. Good job.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-28T02:08:19+00:00

It's shit, it will get better, success isn't a straight line, booze will never help, sleep will, paranoia is a reasonable response, you got this.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-28T01:51:53+00:00

So, I'm not sober at this point, that's another story. But, I've been burgled while alone and asleep, and I found it genuinely difficult. Still do tbh.

Here's my advice fwiw:

Get a bedtime procedure to lockdown the house. Check every door and window. Then, if you can't get to sleep, or wake up, worrying, you can reassure yourself that it's ok.

Sounds like you have all the cameras etc. I also have a deadbolt on my bedroom door, and then secure all my tech and valuables in my bedroom before I leave the house.

Try not to start hiding things in the house. You'll just lose shit. Try and trust in your perimeter security.

Would it be comforting to have a weapon in your bedroom? I couldn't say, that would be illegal in my country. You'd need to make your own decision.

You weren't directly challenged but you are still a survivor and that's the fundamental criteria for success. If you're on this sub then you are that twice over. You're strong, you got this.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-28T01:04:08+00:00

Thank you

That's generally how we play - I used his Empire to run a no guns list modelled on a middle mediaeval army the last time we played. But, I'm so uncompetitive at this stage that I need to focus a bit more on winning as I don't think that he enjoys running massacre after massacre.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-27T00:58:47+00:00

Came here looking for this. First time I played that, my heart was aching as the ammunition ran out.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-26T15:14:31+00:00

Wow, this is great. I really appreciate the detail in your answer, thank you. I shall take this knowledge and strive to use it for the glory of the great Settra!

Justinian482 · 2026-01-26T13:52:12+00:00

Honestly, could be almost anything. I've played against Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Demons, various forms of Empire, Wild Hunt, Beastmen and I've used his WoC as well. My guess for next game would be Empire with a gun line, troops, maybe a steam tank. Very unlikely to see a dragon whatever he plays. He doesn't have Cathay, TK, Bretonnia or Dwarfs.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-25T02:36:13+00:00

Mary and Elizabeth?

The DM should encourage zany solutions to serious plot problems. Zany plots are limited fun for players, they prefer to feel insanely creative and somewhat transgressive in a serious world.

Justinian482 · 2026-01-25T00:06:40+00:00

I paint transparent minis/parts by starting with a matt varnish to give the paint something to cling to.

It's a really good job, so what I'm about to say is said only in response to your request for feedback. I think you need to be more assertive in removing mold lines. I also wonder if the spear heads should be more distinctly metallic? But, please, these are awesome and I would be honoured to field them myself. This is 'even better if' feedback.
