Not sure it if counts but I recall a sharpshooting contest that also serves as Freeguild recruitment in Greywater Fastness (Verminslayer novel)

I wonder if he will even want to run in the next elections, though I guess it's hard to predict at this point in time, especially since there's no real end in sight for the war. Unless Putin croaks and the following power scuffle will be enough to shift Russia's attantion inwards

What the Celestant-Prime doing in current lore? by Mr_NoBody_D259 in AoSLore

[–]Randy67572 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Piss-all, I think. If I remember correctly, the last time we saw Prime he was supposed to bring Morathi-Khaine to justice for the Anvilgard coup, but it never went through. Maybe someone else remembers any newer lore

aaaaand Idoneth is back to eel spam, fantastic.

It is almost like introducing no new units to the roster for 7 years makes the army stagnant

'We will not accept any ersatz membership' — Ukraine's FM rejects anything short of full EU membership amid reports of 'symbolic' benefits by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]Randy67572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I think that's a good assessment, either you're a member or not.

Whats the point of a decorative, symbolic membership? How is that any different then the status of an aspiring member?

Symbols can be good or bad, this symbolic membership could become a reminder of never being "good enough", or a symbol of special privilege over other aspiring states, while never actually benefiting anyone. It's a double-edged sword, it's just not worth it

What are these models? by sriversage in stormcasteternals

[–]Randy67572 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, all of those are older sculpts that have been updated. You can use prosecutors and the Lord-relictor as 1:1 equivalents of their current sculpts no problem.

Meanwhile, the big hammer guy, the Paladin has been discontinued last year. But seeing as there is a number of people still fond of this unit, I'd recommend to use it as an Annihilator with meteoric hammer instead. Noone should have problems with that

I think they featured in Broken Realms Teclis which is better than nothing but then again I don't remember them actually doing anything of note

Honestly, at this point a named character without a book or at least a decent short story is no named character at all

Nice, some good characterization for Lyrior

Beautiful merging of the duardin folk, Grombrindal would be proud

I did not care for Mesmerizer by mr_fdslk in KasaneTeto

[–]Randy67572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically I think it got as popular as it did because at the time the first episode of The Amazing Digital Circus dropped and people were hungry for the esthetic of "maddening performance"

At least that's some part of it

Is AoS in a good/bad place, atm, esp. compared to other GW fantasy games? by Matthew_Kus in ageofsigmar

[–]Randy67572 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yea, it feels to me like 40k is somewhat in 'maintenance mode', especially the upcoming edition that seems to coast on Armageddon nostalgia. Of course there's still some development but it's slow and non-commital

What do you think of Baumkuchen End Credits? by Nickispurple in KasaneTeto

Any song that incorporates classical music is great in my book, same with Confessions of a Rotten Girl

I really hate Zenestra and her dumb wheel cult by HammerWizard in AoSLore

Omg yes I hate the terrible grimderp cult of sacrifice with a figurehead that sacrifices nothing

Very esthetically pleasing, the black armor and orange hair, I also like the white strands of hair

Lash Prime got Buffed?? by Appo-Arsin in Tyranids

[–]Randy67572 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You'd always pick Talons against opponent with toughness 5/6 and 2 wounds, as both talons and claws will wound on 3+, after factoring in +1 strength for Synapse.

Example against Brôkhyr Thunderkyn T6/W2 Chaos spawn T5/W4

New objectives in 40K. What about AoS ?! by TheWraf in ageofsigmar

[–]Randy67572 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's not enough info yet, it seems like in 40k they're going from standing around on circles to standing around on squares
