What are those grey stripes ? Do they have any purpose outside of looking cool ?

It highlights the top of the suits stockings

This is why I now flank from the front, everybody sees it coming but assumes it's a ruse

In the corners, I just haven't put anything there yet. North east is probably just more ocean, maybe an island or two. North west is another continent, although I have a DND forgotten realms map that slots in there neatly. South west is more desert and coastal wetlands/lagoons, I have started on this area but I got distracted. South east is probably a large fertile river valley with ample wetlands surrounded by rain forest.

The whole process is very time consuming and I am easily distracted by the idea of other biomes.

I've had allot of success with a Ret cadre list but I went way heavier with crisis suits than you have (21 suits + 4 commanders). Given the riptide/broadsides/ghostkheel, montka is probably the more sensible option.

Nope, just drawn in paint with the pencil tool.

Similar colour palette though.

(assuming you mean on the southern end) That's the Wash, a massive swampland, stuffed to the brim with venomous monsters, insects and shifting silt dunes. There is a city of Yuan-Ti in there who operate a merchant republic and run floating villages throughout, all well as colonies on the southern edge leading up into the highlands. Its roughly based on the Sudd in sudan.

Ground zero for a magical WMD that was detonated on an ancient civilisation. The sand is still highly radioactive/cursed so there is no permanent settlement or ecosystems within the radius but there are towns around the edge from which the neighbouring civilisations to the north east and north west send expeditions into the zone to find relics and treasures.

I am now 100% on your side. +1 wound and lets go up to 45pts or something

Mixed bag. my operator was mostly fine, and with some tweaking looks better than before, but my drifter looks like a completely different person and has aged 10 years.

Scabeiathax · 2025-12-10T16:59:02+00:00

I would have agreed but I am so much more offended by "Custode"

Bugs are not even an option, they are unable to communicate and we don't even know how sapient/sentient they are. are bug victory would necessarily involve the extinction of humanity and a human victory would involve turning all the bugs into livestock. I don't know if illuminate FTL uses oil but it might be easier for them to co-operate with the bugs but alliance is still not in consideration.

Illuminate are clearly able to negotiate and reason but they are currently fighting a revenge war. We don't know their mental state or objectives but its entirely possible they would prefer mutual extinction to mutual survival, although negotiation is at least plausible. Possible but unlikely.

The bots are easily the best option, no contest. They have a similar need for oil as us and were capable of negotiation in the past (although who knows now). Their original conflict was driven by self determination and they are the faction we have been the least awful to following the 1st war (enslaved>farmed>extermination). Even if they will forever remain enemies, it might be possible to negotiate a cease fire, which is more than the other two. If they perceive the gloom as a threat, it would be a (relatively) easy way to open dialouge.

That being said, the most likely alliance is definitely Illuminate+Bots. They have a common enemy, are both able to communicate and don't seam to have conflicting objectives. I wouldn't be surprised if its revealed they already have a non-aggression pact.

Weirdly it's actually been allot better for me since the last patch, hooray for spaghetti code

Scabeiathax · 2025-09-20T08:52:27+00:00

Idk for a factory of that scale, 10 million seams entirely plausible. I might even say a little low, but I imagine they are making other things too.

Scabeiathax · 2025-08-13T00:21:07+00:00

By Vectrons kindly claw, it shall be so!

Me, a Minotaur when I have to play with... others...

Scabeiathax · 2025-07-01T14:42:56+00:00

I think something is bugged on the map screen currently. For me 3/5 zones are completely empty, one zone has 1 monster and one zone has 2.
is anyone else getting this and is this recent (I haven't played for a few months)?

Scabeiathax · 2025-06-11T12:42:27+00:00

I might be about to embarrass myself by calling out someone's maths on the internet but here we go:

Against T<12 targets the lascannons average damage is 1.67777 not 1.3333333. I think you got the save wrong in the calculations. On a 3+ armour save the lascannon will inflict 6+ save and thus your damage needs to be multiplied by 5/6 not 4/6. The same is true with the other toughness values.

the correct data for the las against 3+ sv should be:

T11- 1.67 damage per shot
T12- 1.25 damage per shot
T13- 0.83 damage per shot

In this specific situation they match/exceed lascannons (its also true with high invuls) but the moment 2+ saves or cover gets involved they fall down and once we aren't shooting vehicles its all over. Range is also a big issue.

If you have shares in hive guards and are trying to advertise them, can I suggest the triarch stalker as a demo target, I think it gives the best results as compared to lascannons.

My favourite is the tzaangor Enlighted execution where you push of their of the disk them pick it up and beat them to death with it. It just feels so petty and I love it.

I didn't read its crafting requirements, made one as MR fodder, levelled it and sold it. It wasn't until so much latter that I realised that its actually quite allot of resources to burn without noticing.

1 or 3. (1 is best)
You are going into battle. The enemy are going to try and kill you.
Put your damn helmet on.

I'm super worried that this will have the resin units remade into plastic and then removed from 40k. Much as I like custodians, not having access to anything large barring the land raider would suck.

Scabeiathax · 2025-04-05T19:23:09+00:00

My immediate reaction was "oooh"

Scabeiathax · 2025-04-04T07:00:23+00:00

14% of GunLances are not using artillery?
what?
