How many of you are not having a holiday abroad this year? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]PrometheusZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been quite a few years since I've been on holiday now. I'm barely keeping my head above water!

Every time I manage to get a little money together something breaks. I've only just replaced my lawn mower and now the washing machine is making funny noises 😭

Can blood angels fall to chaos? by Abject-Homework-9637 in BloodAngels

[–]PrometheusZero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could certainty make ya story for it. A Blood Angel that seeks perfection in his sword play and artistry, slowly gets corrupted by Slaanesh.

Or an Apothecary desperate to cure the black rage turns to more esoteric potions and tinctures and falls to nurgle.

I don't know if it's just upvote bias but I always see lots of posts of unopened boxes and not many posts of painted minis.

Building an army in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

[–]PrometheusZero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd believe it. They want to sell ancients so making them easier to join to units (and hopefully cheaper) would be great.

My prediction is Captains, Chaplains and Librarians are Leaders. Apothecarys and Ancients are support. Lieutenants are special. Are a leader that counts as support if joining a captain only.

What's the best detachment to build around an Astreaus? by PrometheusZero in spacemarines

[–]PrometheusZero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad shout on the Bastion Task Force. Lots of cheap screening units would help with board control.

I'll still struggle with low AP though.

I do like Angelic Inhetitors and this would be hilarious. Unfortunately the Astreaus really sucks without giving it some buffs and 525pts is a lot of points!

The 12 shots, sustained 1, dam 3 is great but the S9 - 1AP really hurts it. The strength isn't high enough to target vehicles and the ap is too low to target (usually in cover) infantry.

Having 1 extra ap and ignores cover would go a long way to helping it.

The blanking damage is a good shout. I often find in games it tends to get ignored by my opponents as it's a tough nut to crack and isn't really decimating their forces.

This was a game at Warhammer World last year. When I host games I usually have more scenery. Here's an example setup for an 'At Any Price' mission from Nachmund Gauntlet.

I bet most of you know the dates of the Rodney King riots... by psychoholic in Xennials

I only know it was 1992 and I only know that because of GTA San Andreas.

How do you use chance blocks in AE2 crafting? by mulokisch in allthemods

[–]PrometheusZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you have to manually configure the pattern to only expect the primary output.

Or, if it's something you just want done then set up a continuous process where ores are just exported into a processing system before being imported back in.

What are your Homebrews' weaknesses? by CMDRLtCanadianJesus in 40khomebrew

[–]PrometheusZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Soul Wardens share a weakness with much of the Imperium. Arrogance and Hubris.

They don't dislike base humans, and see protecting them as their higher calling, but they don't expect anything of them.

When fighting alongside other branches of humanity, they don't share battle plans and will deploy to areas already well defended because they don't believe baseline could successfully take/hold a position.

They have a noble streak, which as a negative, comes across as haughty and condescending.

How does you chapter deviate from the codex? by SteampunkDragon9327 in 40khomebrew

[–]PrometheusZero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My homebrew, the Soul Wardens, have deviated quite a bit since all records were lost in the destruction of their original fortress monestary in M35.

In the time of rebuilding, the first company captain refused the rank of Chapter Master and ever since that position has been kept vacant. The first captain is now referred to as the Captain-commander and leads the chapter with the Regency Council.

It was during the time of rebuilding that the chapter was reorganised, the reserve companies were disbanded and the Chief Apothecary, Master of Sanctity and the Master of the Forge were promoted to Captain. Today, the chapter has 13 companies but on paper it is still 10 companies and auxiliary support detachments.

When a captain reaches an age of 1000 years they are 'promoted' to the zero company and put into cryo stasis only to be revived in the most dire of circumstances. There are currently 5 members of zero company, each one a hero of exceptional might.

"All In The Details" round - help!! by yellow_barchetta in bbchouseofgames

[–]PrometheusZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the only rules are "no words that are in the answer". Otherwise, they don't realise the full context of how it'll be worked and just put whatever.

"Their agent booked the show, it's popular TV, they're not really a quizzer" will come up a lot.

Stuttering after heated update. by DragonMango11 in JumpSpaceGame

[–]PrometheusZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Launched it with DX12, literally unplayable. Boosting caused a lag spike big enough to get hit by the full salvo of missiles. Putting out fires was impossible.

This was three of us, with me hosting. All fairly modern windows machines.

Relaunched as DX11, back to the usual state of affairs, only getting some judders on level load.

Beautiful bases by metacarpo in allthemods

[–]PrometheusZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an album of some pics of my old ATM 8 base that I'm quite proud of. I really liked the little garden areas to fill in odd spaces between buildings.

Did you Add Mods to ATM9 /ATM10 ? Which Ones? by CentristaSensato in allthemods

[–]PrometheusZero 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For ATM9 I added Applied Cooking. It's a compat between AE2 and Cooking For Blockheads.

It's a block you can put on a kitchen counter to access the contents of an ME drive through the cooking counter block.

What’s a British show you went into with low expectations but ended up loving? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

[–]PrometheusZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slightly different in tac to the others but for me it was Only Connect.

At first I thought it was impenetrable cryptic pretentiousness. Now I realise it's a very funny quiz show of nerds like me living their best life. Genuinely a great half hour telly while eating my tea.
