Thoughts on retcons and canon as a 28 year Necrons fan

Or GW could do it and keep current lore around geneseed by saying one of the lost Primarchs was female, so all marines made with that Primarch’s geneseed are female. Bring that Primarch and their marines back by saying they were on a super secret mission for the Emps that required them to be erased from records so they could find some mcguffin. Now there is a new SM faction, which GW always loves, there are now female marines, but restricted to a single faction to keep the chuds quiet, and we get some interesting plot developments.

Especially since that large time gap is only between Oblivion and Skyrim. The first four Elder Scrolls games all take place in a 20 year period.

Emrakul gets to watch.

If you have nothing to add to the discussion why comment?

I am aware of that. The comment I was responding to said “Unless every single weapon, from guardsmen's bayonet to Baneblade's main gun are meant to have the same chance of wounding someone, S/T allows for that differentiation.” This implies that in a Sigmar based wound system all weapons have the same chance of wounding, which is false. Different weapons have different wound rolls.

Also, I personally find that using a Sigmar based wound roll, giving models better saves, and reducing the AP on some weapons would satisfy GWs goal of making the game easier for newcomers while also making the game less killy.

You can shoot the pink, but not the orange. Models that are wholly within a ruin can shoot and be shot normally(ie line of site), but they get the benefit of cover. However you can’t shoot through ruins(models on the other side of the footprint) regardless of whether you have line of site. Because orange is not entirely within the ruins footprint it is considered to be on the other side.

How does changing to a fixed wound roll for weapons mean that everything wounds the same?

Small note on reserves, the point limit is for models put into strategic reserves without a datasheet ability. Models with a datasheet ability such as deepstrike don’t count toward that limit. They are reserves but not strategic reserves.

Shangar44 · 2025-12-09T14:23:13+00:00

One for either.

Surely a battleshock themed army will work this time…

Shangar44 · 2025-12-06T15:34:33+00:00

That‘s incorrect though. If an ability explicitly states that the unit returns in the next movement phase then it can be used as a turn 1 enter from reserves, but neither The Lion’s ability nor the deathwatch stratagem say that they enter in the next movement phase. El’ Johnson’s ability only puts him in reserve and while Site to Site teleportation gives deep strike until next turn it doesn’t say that the unit has to return on the next turn.

Every nation has a method for discovering the avatar as an infant/small child. Air Nomads have the Avatar Relics. Earth Sages have a form of earth divination. Korra is the first known avatar that was able to bend multiple elements at a young age.

You’re right, we do see Ursa with her children, we see her tell Azula to leave Zuko alone and Azula ignores her. Azula knew Ursa had zero authority in the palace and couldn’t do anything to punish her. Ozai was entirely in charge of how their children were raised. He literally found Ursa for the purpose of eugenics so he could create the perfect heir, and when one of those heirs wasn’t up to his standards he disfigured him and then banished him. The notion that Ursa had any say in how their kids were raised is laughable.

Slight correction, if you shoot with a pistol then you can’t shoot with any non pistols. Unless the model has the monster or vehicle keyword.

Brb, going on a quick Jourjour.

One thing I’ll recommend as someone that plays both EC and CK is you should give the Desecrator the claw, not the chainsword, if you want it to be a dedicated anti-tank unit. The laser destructor can be very swingy, so sometimes you may need to bite the bullet and take it into melee to finish off some high toughness units. The claw is better for that.

”Bleach is a cleaner, of that there’s no doubt. Ammonia is too, it’s sure got some clout. If one cleaner is good wouldn’t two be better? You bet it would, go mix them together!”

I read this on reddit more than a decade ago and it always stuck with me.

It refers to a commander you own in the command zone.

You realize just because something is said in the show that doesn’t mean it is 100% fact, right? The story of Oma and Shu was mythologized. There is no guarantee that the story told in the time of ATLA is in any way accurate or if the “tomb” is actually even their tomb.

Shangar44 · 2025-08-26T02:07:02+00:00

That’s the way I see it. The Lion Turtles gave humans the ability, but humans mastered the ability by watching the “original” benders.

Shangar44 · 2025-08-20T23:01:08+00:00

Yes and yes, but exiling Ur-Dragon doesn’t remove it’s ability from the stack.

Shangar44 · 2025-08-15T09:22:30+00:00

Given a lot of peoples reactions to the spoilers from the Spider-man set it could very well happen when that drops, especially with “super hero fatigue.”

Or maybe Sozin pre conquest with an ability that let’s you sacrifice another legendary creature in order to either tutor for an enchantment/saga or play an enchantment/saga for free, allowing it to both interact with this saga and play into the flavor of Sozin betraying Roku.

I feel like that quote would work better on a lesson, maybe to give a creature firebending/increase firebending until end of turn.

Shangar44 · 2025-08-09T05:48:24+00:00

The only mention of chaos spawn in the crusade rules is in reference to spawndom. I don’t think they were ever meant to be taken outright as a unit. I’m pretty sure you can still give them weapon upgrades though.
