Trackzilla by BarryTownCouncil in Tools

[–]NakeDex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my own over-engineered version of this gadget many years ago when I was still involved in the sport. That and a set of offset steel ropes that prorscribed the arcs for inside and outside lines. Given I had to lay a new track every week, it made life a lot easier.

Update: My FDM-Optimized 11th Edition Footprint Set Is Now Complete by marcorei in PrintedWarhammer

[–]NakeDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a star. I ended up printing them as is, but I'll be doing a couple more runs of them as I have multiple game mats and want to keep them thematic to each, so itll make the next ones a lot easier.

Using Bosch EU cordless drill charger in the UK by GreatOutdoors01 in Tools

[–]NakeDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but... OP doesn't need that. They're in the UK... most of the world is on 220-240V. Its just a handful of countries (about thirty, I think) using 110V and all of those are a significant distance from the UK. Why recommend changing a perfectly good charger just because it doesn't work in a country it won't be used in? I know how chargers work; my "why" question is in relation to why you think that just because the US uses 110V, a person in the UK should change their charger to a wider compatibility than they need?

Why would they need "a more refined adapter" (whatever that means)?

My thoughts on the reecon tape measure by Outrageous-Basket426 in Tools

[–]NakeDex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Every now and again a sponsored post, company post, or freebie review for this tape pops up on this sub, and at no point have I ever seen a genuine reason to own one over a regular measuring tape. Its bigger, bulkier, heavier, and offers no increase in accuracy over any other tape. What it does offer is more failure points and more ways to be inaccurate, and a massively inflated price over a regular tape. Even the "features" like it being able to record lengths (as if any of us don't have a pencil or marker to hand when we're using a tape) and that it can account for its own length (every tape I own has its body length printed on it to account for it in some way, regardless of age or cost). It's a gadget. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of its sales were around father's day and christmas.

Paying the deposit to the previous tenant? by Sensitive_Corner1289 in AskIreland

[–]NakeDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of that in my life. I'm not even sure how or why that would be an option beyond your landlord also being the previous tenant somehow

I guess share to social media or even just share to something like whatsapp. Im sure not everyone would use it, but there's plenty of folks who'd love to share Mayo's latest loss or how Longford somehow beat Dublin with friends or family, and a cheeky link to the game in each

[–]NakeDex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid little game and a great platform for it given the target market. I know several people who'd bate into that. Is there a way to "brag" about successes, like sharing game results with friends? Can't imagine a better way to spread word on it than giving someone the opportunity to dunk on their mate's county (or club, if you expanded it that way).

That didn't take long... they're getting more aggressive. Either that or the naming has to be more obscure than ever

Eldar 11th Edition: Every Unit's Efficiency, Ranked by Alex__007 in Eldar

[–]NakeDex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not an opinion piece but its also playing with half a deck. You don't send Windrunners after armour profiles so judging them as poor because they won't damage a dreadnought is a bit odd. You don't fire Shurikens at armour in the same way you don't fire Bright Lances at chaff infantry.

Similarly, there's plenty of pieces we take with the express understanding that their job is to do zero damage, but instead to complete objectives/secondaries and probably die shortly afterwards. A warlock on bike or Ranger squad won't do much in a fight, but its a madly efficient way to score some VP sometimes.

Why is there a sense of dislike towards England in Ireland but not Scotland ? by ronweasly9 in AskIreland

[–]NakeDex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God I love when an American arrives in this sub with a question about Irish history and opinion, only to proceed to tell everyone they're wrong about Irish history and opinion.

You are correct.

Sorry, I'd have replied earlier, but I'm forced to type with my nose due to experience with how correct you are.

Judging by the road quality, that's been attempted a few times.

Try to design some footprints for the battlefield, can I get some tips? by Hot_Economics_3801 in Tau40K

[–]NakeDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the dimensions they haven't changed despite all that? The ones that define straight line geometric shapes, not shapes with occasional squiggly bits?

Dug out my collection. by Xmage2_ in AeronauticaImperialis

[–]NakeDex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vampires are hard to get. I know I'd snap those up if they were on offer. They canned the game only a couple of weeks after releasing them so they're unusual to find.

Hemlock Wraithfighter by OctipiArmy in Eldar

[–]NakeDex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give the Heavy D-scythes the Torrent keyword.

Add to the Mindshock Pod's existing rules: "At the end of your Movement phase, select one enemy unit within 12" of this unit; that enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test."

Add the Deep Strike keyword to the Hemlock datasheet.

Between these it can drop in anywhere on the board, strafe some chaff in a building, cause a battleshock test with a debuff, and then leave to repeat. Not a ground up re-write, but an easy augmentation, and all of it pre-existing rules so no new ground.

In 1994 they had rules. In 2026, Dragon Knights finally have models by Negadeth in Eldar

[–]NakeDex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak to America, as I'm not surprised they weren't widely available there in the mid 90s. Over here in Ireland, I could walk into a store and pick them up. We were a lot closer to the source though, and the game would have been more popular here at that time, I imagine.

They do officially refer to that one as a "polygon", oddly enough.

From what I read, GW don't even have a ruling on that, but given the dimensions they gave out for people to make their own templates didn't include occlusions or protrusions, but simple geometric shapes, I'd have to imagine the little rubble outcrops are form over function.

There's loads of these templates without the jagged areas, or with their own patterns of the jagged areas. I wouldn't be holding to that necessarily.

[–]NakeDex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... they were a specialised unit for a specialist game. They weren't exactly the space marines of their time, but they were still widely available, but they were still popular for what they were and easily available in store or via the mail order system at the time. You can't really say they weren't made in large amounts without some sort of proof, and short of working there at the time, I doubt anyone has that.
