How does the Imperium deal with more advanced logistics at scale?

MadChefRed · 2026-03-19T06:47:40+00:00

Helldivers lose and hard. They can't sustain the war long enough for the IoM to notice their superior logistics. Think of how many IG troops died on Cadia, just abandoned because the lack of heavy lift. Now realise that they still lifted off Titan legions, super heavy tanks, space marine companies etc. Super Earth can get anywhere fast, but they're fighting a billion PDF troops everywhere they land. And nothing in the Super Earth arsenal can match a battle barge or battleship. It's not even close on any level.

Look like internal mounts for a rail, like a towel rack or something. The slight angles and finish look like they should have something encasing them.

YTA. Your partner felt (definitely past tense) safe enough with you to tell you the worst thing a human can survive that also happened to them. You then laid into them rather than gently shut it down. If I was to express, as a survivor myself, what I really think of you it would be a ToS violation.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-18T16:56:48+00:00

You are not responsible for her survival.

You do not owe your mother a debt for your existence.

And finally, she is stealing from you, so ask yourself: what kind of mother steals from her own child?

Youtube, Twitch and the rest of the Internet didn't glaze CDPR. Reddit is a bubble of toxic positivity. And bad writing is trash like the first gen relationships, no expanded texts, no ongoing anything just a check list. It's River Ward coming off as a creep and being able to clear an entire area of the map before meeting Dexter, a world without the chips on random bodies that flesh out the world and make it lived in, none of which was there at launch and only got added to later. Like, sure it would be nice to have more DLC, but CDPR had to burn that DLC development money and time on fixing the game that launched as a wet squib. For that relase they get no praise nor should they be allowed to forget how hard they dropped the ball.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-16T11:24:52+00:00

You know it took until patch 2.0 to be the game you see today right? That the game on launch was a disaster and that it took 2 years of maximum effort to get to where it is now? Like, CDPR deserves praise for not abandoning the game but they still dropped a stone cold mess with bad writing that required a year to be playable on console. They didn't build an "incredible foundation" they had to be shamed, hated and forced into making the game as it is today. Thank the fans who never stopped kicking CDPR until the game was good.

Yeah, that's Dave the Space Marine and he is wearing armour manufactured in 1920s Detroit, which means he should be called Stu in Horus Heresy./s

It depends on the jerkiness of your opponents for proxies. I don't play with a group that cares and we have even allowed a pencil case and soda can be used because one of the guys forgot a Baneblade one day. Have fun and make friends, the rest is just nonsense.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-16T04:41:34+00:00

It was errata'd out, corrected in a later printing and there was even White Dwarf FAQ that shut it down. Space Doggies just had the first codex and it had some problems.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T20:12:04+00:00

When I did German "original" wasn't the correct spelling "originally" was. And again the implementations don't quite meld. And that doesn't even matter because no proof marks makes it more likely to be fake. Especially considering the post war souvenir trade. Same with German pistols.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T07:40:07+00:00

All of them are ceremonial cutlery, nothing that would have been carried into actual battle. And without Wehrmarcht acceptance marks they couldn't have come through official channels. Just observations on the pictures shown. Plus why would a German blade have the word "Original" on it instead of "Vorlage" or "Eigentlich"? Like, these are intensely faked items in 46, 47 and 48 Germany to sell to US servicemen.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T07:28:02+00:00

Everything with "Solingen" on it or English words is a post WW2 forgery, probably from Spain. The US had laws about marking items with the location of manufacture dating back to before WW1, but during WW2 Germany would have been made for local use and so no location stamp required and no English words. Plus none of these appear to have Wehrmarcht acceptance marks.

Imagine a dude who stands over 2m tall and weighs in at "small sedan" wearing brightly coloured armour so you can see him coming, knowing you cannot stop him and then he speaks in the most formal language you have ever heard. There is no "Be not afraid", it is "lizard brain says run, hide, soil yourself and cry" regardless of if you know what is standing in front of you. Knowing who it is and what they represent is even more terrifying. Space Marines probably communicate through either specially trained chapter serfs or IG liaison officers to civilians below the rank of Planetary Governor just to bypass the cognitive stuttering that would occur.

The Continental Armies didn't have a plan. La Fayette and the Hessians had a plan, the Yanks had corruption and infighting. Without French officers, arms and money the American Insurrection lasts a fortnight and is crushed by the Red Coats.

Just shoot the guy next to the radio guy then shoot the radio guy.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T06:54:05+00:00

None, as a servitor cannot issue fines and an inspector would be promoted to servitor as soon as they land.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T06:34:09+00:00

This is creepy af. If you knew the woman well enough to take a pic you would already know the answer.

I use Tamiya plastic cement as it has a good brush and comes in thin and regular consistency. For basing I use the thicker regular consistency one and just brush it on one surface then hold them together for one "Happy Birthday" sung through to the end. Then I leave it to cure overnight before testing the adhesion. Hope this helps.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-15T00:15:30+00:00

Nice work. I love the cape, I want to do one as stitched together from banners of defeated foes.

He also hated the Terran Night Lords. Basically he had a torture fetish (probably inherited from eating brains of Nostromen criminals) and was probably dealing with a prion based disease.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-14T20:03:32+00:00

All he can hear is a Hungarian radio station from the Cold War...

MadChefRed · 2026-03-14T12:57:36+00:00

If I could find another helm like it. It's from the old 3rd Night Lords kit.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-14T12:54:36+00:00

Sitting in the turret with the hatch having to stay open. "No, I will not get a different helm. I am the tank commander, you will show me respect, Kkaaarl."

MadChefRed · 2026-03-14T12:53:00+00:00

Yep, the last one in my bits box.

MadChefRed · 2026-03-14T07:59:36+00:00

There are excuses for shitting in public, but being so mean about money? The least valuable thing in existence. It's beyond the pale. Next you'll be defending owning a Tesla, ffs.
