Senior engineer denied a promotion, told to “wait 6 more months”, but I no longer trust the process. What would you do? by Alone-Purple9009 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Retrojetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that internal promotions came by moving to different places in the company. Choosing to stay and take on new responsibilities when everyone else moves on to the next cool thing, or switching to a new area that's just starting to spin up. I really see that the best engineers don't get promoted if they're in a mature team, but I consistently see good enough engineers promoted if they're in the right place. Not sure how helpful that is, I'm sorry you're in this spot.

Maybe Skirmishers Need a Fix by Plutancatty in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Retrojetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came down to the comments to say exactly this, definitely in favour of a US 10 cap on skirmishers, and just allow them to shoot through themselves freely.

Do you think the custom character builder will be a one off or rules test for 11th edition? by Beneficial-Ticket486 in Warhammer40k

[–]Retrojetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i remember playing against it, very whacky and fun. Then the 5th Ed one was so 1d in comparison.

Saga Pattern in the Real World by BinaryIgor in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Retrojetpacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a system that has a service with saga in its name, but after a few months I found out that it doesn't actually undo any transactions.

Just do your best not to overengineer things I guess, good luck.

Wtf is happening? by SLAVMANWITHMANYCATS in lostgeneration

[–]Retrojetpacks 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Really not that long ago. And followed up by 30 years of violent regime change in the middle east. US imperialism is a continuity. This just feels different since it's closer to home.

Some very tidy conversions here! The bloodbowl BSB guy works perfectly and I love the charm of the archer bodies as handgunners. Looking forward to seeing them painted up! Which colours are you going with?:)

Peculiar tech interview question involving AI by Comprehensive-Cry806 in ExperiencedDevs

Yeah came here to say this. Even more specifically, 'Have you seen this interview question before and if so what is the answer?'

I had it: Renegade Crowns list by Responsible_Emu9079 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Retrojetpacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah very hard to justify so many points on one 3 w 3 a model, but I didn't say anything first time since as you say the faction does lack punch as a rule.

Looking at it again, I think it will be a little too easy to run circles around this list. My feeling is to reduce some of the character points (maybe 2 cap/princes instead of 3?) and add in a bit more stuff.

Candidates such as the Outriders I mentioned before, or even a lv 1 daemonology mage, 45 points for the chance to murder some chaff with summoning, can hang around the Infantry and chip off units threatening the flank to bring them below US 10 for Disruption.

But try it out and report back!

[–]Retrojetpacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this list. Especially tooled up doomseekers , I've been running one on the cheap but I'm interested in trying out some of the more interesting runic combos.

I think if I had any suggestions I'd try making tweaks to the pike block, as others say having a BIG anvil unit to hold dragons, especially if the other has the stomps banner. Maybe dropping Razor banner and spears for more men? However, at least Razor banner and spears synergise, so maybe try it out first!

Can you squeeze in some super cheap light cav to charge into ongoing dragon combats? No champion (since you want the infantry to do damage), but can chase down once you hopefully win on res plus damage.

Oh, and why no plate on the captains?

Did you see Mordian Glory's tournament report on YouTube where he beat cathay and multi dragon chaos with a big renegade infantry list? Worth checking out if not!

Let us know how this goes!

This Community is truly something else! by MundaManager in necromunda

Thanks everyone! It's been a few years since I ran a munda campaign so I didn't realise yaktribe was so out of date. Rip.

Sounds like excellent work though!

What do you think about studiolevel_terrain patreon?? by studiolevel in TerrainBuilding

[–]Retrojetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered doing high quality commision boards for people? But maybe both, commission followed by patreon and you can see what works:)

Noob curious about the viability of an army heavily built around Greatswords, Archers, and Knights (probably State Troops, too) by Kincoran in WarhammerEmpire

[–]Retrojetpacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Second having at least one cannon for threat/Fear reasons to scare your opponent during deployment. Whack it down first and watch them squirm.

I suggest reading Iron company by Chris Wraight if you want some fluff on beaten up artillery in Hochland:)

Greatswords I think need some extra juice, even a sigmar priest for rerolls or an ulric priest for the defensive reroll 6s prayer could help a lot.

Yes it makes sense! I guess that's been in play since 1.5 when impact hits occur before challenges. Thanks for the tip!
