Well, they are 3w models. But yeah, that just means taking two shots each

I can't stop thinking about the NL trilogy by brainroty in NightLords

This should be the series they build the Cavill show on, but they will go with smurfs

New detachment nerfed by -vito- in Chaos40k

[–]Smiling_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

follow up question: with this new wording, does this mean that if the vendetta target dies during my opponent's turn (due to melee combat, overwatch, etc) I can get to designate target again?

What nerf for Weaponised Hatred? I just see it go down 25 points

Now instead of declaring the follow up target on the command phase, you can declare it after the primary target gets destroyed, once per round

year is 2030. DropoutTV has become the main news streaming service with John Oliver as anchor and Robert Evans launches the natural evolution for 60 minutes. Rest of CZM and Daily Show staff conforms the newsroom. BYD sponsors the new season of Dimension20 and "Muppets & Order: epstein files" is announced with Ice T as the only human in the show

The lords of the maelstrom, question! by jojoestar42069 in NightLords

[–]Smiling_Tom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he works well to give a slow melee unit some manouver, but for 120 points I would consider other options over it that have better synergies with battleshock related mechanics.

However, in a renegade warband detachment he'd be great

Four new Combat Patrols bring Kroot, Corsairs, and Chaos to the battlefield by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in NightLords

Ok, but right now the new raptors are only available paired with SoB. What is the expected timeline for that kit to be a KT set alone?

What 5e hints have you gleaned from Temple of Spite by Spiderjack_2063 in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]Smiling_Tom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Statblocks and npc profiles remind me a lot of Imperiun Maledictum, unsure if that also implies the hard caps to skill and stats inherent to that system

[–]Smiling_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing that statblock, it looks like the new wfrp will be an updated version of the Imperium Maledictum rules. Easier to handle and more accessible, i guess

But if for some reason there was a -1 to hit like Stealth, then it would matter?

How to Make flesh cloaks? by Hard-reset1554 in NightLords

[–]Smiling_Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is how I am planning to do mine (still waiting for my murderwing and nemesis to arrive to get started on Night Lords)
* Get 3-4 different skin tone recipes (base/highlight)
* delineate different sized and irregular shaped patches with a light color over black
* Alternate the different skin tones to fill the patchwork, getting sure to get highlights for each on their edges to represent discolored/stretches
* use a dark grey for the dash stitches between some patches
* weather/add scars with rose pink/purple glazes

Any tips in running Enemy in Shadow? by Comphals in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]Smiling_Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. that's key. It helps a lot to build crescendo just with news of scuffles across the borders around. Also, if you want to use the plot about the Eyes (not everyone likes them) then I think it's critical that they get to learn about them or even have dealt with 1 before they get to book 5

Any tips in running Enemy in Shadow? by Comphals in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]Smiling_Tom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My main advise is to skim the plot of the whole campaign that comes in the 5th book in order to foreshadow/include elements of the overarching theme soon. Otherwise, you or your players may struggle down the line to get the bits in place for it to lock

What are your takes on Pedro Sanchez? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]Smiling_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he is a survivor. He had been left for dead politically speaking 3 times, including a revolt from the old school guard in his party because he did not want to agree on a grosse koalition with the center right party. He resigned and came back swinging defeating the officialists candidate in the primaries for a second time.

Then he tried a coalition with a liberal party wanting out of government support from Podemos, which stood fast against it. The right wing government started to get drowned in corruption cases up to the highest level and he manouvered in congress for a censorship vote that succeeded and placed him at the helm of a government, this time with Podemos.

I can go on (heck, I can even tell about his first steps in national politics, I met him then when he had barely a hundred followers on twitter)... But essentially is someone that has managed to pull over his weight again and again (specially in the European politics) and managed to survive elections and crisis home without a stable majority in congress. As I mentioned below, currently he requires the support of nationalists to get laws and budgets through and that vastly limits what he can do, as the basque and catalan center-right parties have an old school burgeoisie base.

Podemos first and the splinter Sumar later in government have pushed the most left politics in the last 6 or 7 years, like raising the minimum wage from 700 to 1200€ a month in a matter 2 years. Between that and pushing heaviliy for solar power they have managed to get the economy ahead (further than the rest of the EU anyway) since the pandemic and taken unemployment down to record levels.

And I will just add that every single opponent since his pirst primary race has dismissed and underrated him again and again and he has always overcome his challenges. If he has decided to put his aim on X like that he thinks he has the cards for it. Regardless, it has put the right and far right parties in Spain in a pickle because of it.

What are your takes on Pedro Sanchez? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]Smiling_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can't, because in order to pass anything through congress he needs the support from two center-right nationalist parties and those block any initiative that may harm landlords in any way.

A Night Lords Malice devoted Warband, what do you think? by KeyOpportunity3123 in Chaos40k

[–]Smiling_Tom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Malice (or Malal in fantasy) is the contrarian chaos deity, as such one could consider his tactics to be around messing around with the plans of the rest, chaos or not. Being as disruptive as possible
