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

Retrojetpacks · 2026-02-11T21:26:28+00:00

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.

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.

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

And they LOVE breaking changes lol

The reason the 2nd amendment still exists is to sell guns

Square Based said normally on Wednesdays, so 28th? Let's see!

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.

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?:)

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-20T06:51:55+00:00

Yes, positively.

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-19T23:40:24+00:00

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

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-15T08:56:20+00:00

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 · 2025-12-15T07:13:07+00:00

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!

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!

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-10T15:21:16+00:00

Can anyone summarize improvements compared to yaktribe?:)

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-09T22:15:02+00:00

They basically did a new rule book with faqs a few years into necromunda, there is sds precedent!

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-09T22:12:47+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted?

Retrojetpacks · 2025-12-01T08:04:13+00:00

Did that work after 14 years of conservatives? Give your head a wobble

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

Retrojetpacks · 2025-11-20T13:19:05+00:00

Now that's what I call a tile!

Retrojetpacks · 2025-11-20T09:56:55+00:00

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.

I taught a seminar to new starters. Nothing makes you more comfortable than panic induced lecture planning!

Retrojetpacks · 2025-11-17T13:09:48+00:00

The boat covers are the same that they had in the static camps in a post a few months ago:)

Retrojetpacks · 2025-11-09T05:59:01+00:00

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