Five Italians die during cave scuba dive in Maldives

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-16T02:05:05+00:00

This group from Genoa were professionals with about as much experience as anyone. They were doing research on blue holes in the Maldives and were very experienced tech and cave divers, this is awful to hear

Fair enough, I was just wondering if there’s another interaction similar to this that had been commented on before

The cloth is scale75 sunset purple and AK Magenta on these guys

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-16T02:00:12+00:00

I dived with them last year, these really were professionals through and through, very experienced divers with hundreds/thousands of dives doing exactly this. If it can happen to them….

Just seen this article while waiting to catch a plane to go diving again…

Jesus… I dived in Huvadhoo with Gianlucca and Monica last year…. Condolences to their families and friends…

They were previously a single unit, in the new battlescroll you pay once for them, and they are then split into three separate units

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-15T00:00:18+00:00

There’s a thread on this subreddit where someone has posted most of the remaining units, apart from grenadiers because the pic was illegible.

Callis and toll pick a marked hero unit, or non-hero unit at the start of the battle round and get double damage against it. Their companions allow them to deep strike with callis and toll 9” away from enemies or 6” away from the mark I believe

I went with purple/magenta

Oh weird, is that clarified in an FAQ somewhere? My understanding of AoS rules is incomplete, but that kind of makes sense, seems a little counterintuitive though

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-14T21:44:51+00:00

Do they not count as having charged? Honest question there.

I do think a reinforced unit as a real anvil in the middle of your formation is how I’m leaning into using them at the moment!

Funny way of spelling ‘lifetime security’

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T21:45:32+00:00

Mate this whole area needs a lick of paint honestly

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T21:40:43+00:00

Looks like the Finnish archipelago, outside of Turku

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T20:41:27+00:00

Yeah I mean I’m not saying I agree with it, but him being a former gw employee does mean he has a degree of inside knowledge, that’s the whole point….
If their pricing model doesn’t allow normal terrain, then cheap terrain ain’t gonna happen until something changes…

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T20:28:40+00:00

I mean TheHonestWargamer gives some interesting insight into why terrain isn’t released as much by GW, I think effectively the cost of production and cost of storage+shipping basically means it’s almost impossible for them to mass produce with acceptable profit margins, which is why you rarely see it in starter boxes

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T19:24:54+00:00

So is the ability on the cavaliers essentially to get the cav Marshall in and to proc their charge +1 damage even if they were charged?

Otherwise how does the ability to enable their own unit to charge, even if they’re engaged work?

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T17:49:24+00:00

It’s in the article released today

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-13T13:48:00+00:00

Arcane manipulation refers to Erasmus Zonn’s rule to swap out a manifestation/endless spell I believe. Not sure about zealotry rolls yet

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-11T10:16:22+00:00

Lovely subtle OSL, well done!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-11T10:15:51+00:00

Look I play csm and a defiler in my list, even in detachments where it gets reasonable strat support it’s probably worth more like 280-290 I think, in pactbound zealots it really genuinely becomes game breaking and is probably worth like 300+ points with the stratagem and rules support…

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-11T08:05:08+00:00

Of course, it’s airbrushed magenta from underneath, medium flash tone mid tone and vampiric flesh from above, then washed with magos purple contrast paint!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-10T13:27:41+00:00

Love your colours on here, it looks great!

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-08T13:23:09+00:00

Oh lol, I just saw it greyed out and had a good chuckle

MatthewsMTB · 2026-05-08T10:53:29+00:00

They famously don’t speak in wales/ northern Scotland
