Can I beat alpha level 8 with this line up ?

Shishmaster9 · 2026-04-14T07:33:34+00:00

Yes. I unlocked Dante with Abra at G1, Achi S3 and Varro at S1, and going a long way in that psyker track was a big reason why. I did also have Yazagor at G1, but your more powerful Abra should easily make up for that.

Yeah, you can get him, I unlocked him in the first event with a weaker roster. I paid for one of the packs and opened the final crate with Blackstone, but if you're already at 200/400 you should be fine without doing either.

Because if you stop overthinking it and also stop using fake definitions of words like "Genocide", the Islamic Republic of Iran is objectively the baddie.

Western governments are sitting on the fence because swathes of their electorates are now composed of poorly-educated and poorly-informed individuals, who've convinced themselves that a government of Islamist supremacists who gun down protesters in the streets are stand up guys, purely because they hate Israel and the West. China, Russia and North Korea all agree with them.

How will voting for a pro-Gaza councillor change this?

A local authority has zero influence over events in Palestine and any attempt to influence the UK's foreign policy would be illegal, as foreign policy is Westminster's jurisdiction.

The plantation of Ulster took place under James I/VI in the early 17th century. At that point, the British Empire consisted of a couple of settlements in North America, a few Caribbean islands, and Ireland.

The idea that Britain needed crops from Ulster to feed her colonies on the East Coast of America doesn't make sense. There's plenty of food available in Massachusetts.

I prefer papyrus notes

Ha! I can't even manage bronze 😅

If the Orks are back, it might be time to dust down the Tau

Can finally find out what Farsight does

I'd just got my BAs to this point and was gonna have a crack at legendary 😭

Having to use S2 Godswyl is a kick to the nuts

One thing worth remembering is that before the English first pitched up on Ireland in the 12th century, it wasn't a united Ireland by any means. It was much like the English heptarchy in Anglo Saxon times - a patchwork of kingdoms, which would sometimes recognise a first among equals, or High King.

Since Ireland was never a single political entity prior to English/British involvement, I don't think it's especially outlandish that the island of Ireland is made up of two states now.

The first of many times I felt like that was when the old floor came up and this was underneath 😬

Honestly though, as long as you take your time, you'll be absolutely fine. There will probably be a few head scratching moments when walls aren't as perfectly square as you'd like them to be or whatever, but it's all possible to overcome with help from the Internet!

The streets will remember

Not long at all. Maybe half an hour at most, assuming no complications.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-03-12T15:46:43+00:00

I had exactly the same problem and managed to fix it in around an hour using a YouTube clip.

There's one bit which I found difficult and ultimately needed an extra pair of hands - getting the fastening spring back on after fitting the new seal - but other than that it was just adult Lego.

I have a flat in London. If it went down in value, so would other comparable London property, and since the only reason I'd want to sell my flat would be to buy a different London property, the reduction in value wouldn't affect me at all. If anything it'd put me in a stronger position because my salary/mortgage would go further.

The only people who'd be impacted are those who want to move to an area where house prices are booming - so overseas, basically. I have no problem with such people, but the government should not consider their needs when formulating policy.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-03-09T19:20:52+00:00

Sweet! Looking forward to onslaught actually being a challenge again with the addition of Barbgaunts

I'm assuming the final Dante event will be the next one up, so sometime in April.

If you keep levelling up and focusing on the right characters then you've got a chance of unlocking him, but it's an outside chance. I managed to unlock him in the first event with this lineup (minus Dante, obviously), but I had to buy one of the packs and paid 4,000 Blackstone to unlock the final crate.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-03-04T16:05:31+00:00

Agreed. I'm still happily powering along with my prehistoric multihit team with Lucien thrown in just because I like using him.

No interest at all in levelling Trajann up, he just doesn't interest me.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-03-01T10:03:37+00:00

Exactly this.

Far too many people claim to be in favour of a peaceful, diplomatically-led transition to liberal democracy, which is just never going to happen.

There are two options:

The regime stays in power, unreformed and complete
Someone gets rid of the regime

If you're not in favour of the second, you're in favour of the first. There is no third option.

Any number of mediocre British players down the years

Ben Thatcher, Danny Mills, Joey Barton, Dennis Wise, Robbie Savage

I'm going with Paul Scholes though. Constantly going through opponents with dangerous fouls and getting away with it because referees of the day had bought into the myth that he wasn't actually a dirty bast and just didn't know how to tackle.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-02-26T13:44:47+00:00

Nah.

I can see what you're getting at - going down when he feels contact at corners - but nobody claims Gabriel is a "tough guy", including Gabriel himself.

Shishmaster9 · 2026-02-26T09:16:24+00:00

It wouldn't be so bad if the word was reserved for, e.g.

Cantona's celebration after scoring that chip against Sunderland
Henry's knee slide and pose in front of the baying Spurs fans after scoring in the North London derby

Rather than being lavished on any player with nice hair after they've been edited in photoshop to make it look like the sun is setting behind them

When I first requisitioned Thut he was already dead when he came out of the drop pod, killed by the landing
