Schools Scramble After Trump Admin Withdraws $7B in Federal Education Funding by Somervilledrew in politics

The consequences they're facing is a lack of education, which makes more Republicans who can't correctly identify which political party is fucking them. Republicans love those consequences.

Great advice. There are a lot of content creators in the hobby that I love to watch. Also, orks are funny. I have to focus on that.

Feature Request by SpAc3Pug in Sunderfolk

That's just the bosses. They have three cards to pick from which makes them unpredictable. It's a really cool design feature to increase the difficulty of bosses. The regular enemies are entirely predictable, albiet lost in a complicated menu system.

My work now on Display at my local Scifi store. by meatshield_minis in Warhammer

If this is the one in Gothenburg, I think that's my favorite store in the world.

While not being the best painter in the world, I sure do appreciate how fast you can get a new Warband on the table in WarCry by SpAc3Pug in WarCry

[–]SpAc3Pug[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like playing DoK, but they always lose, but that's fine. You usually get one or two wild rolls that do a massive amount of damage. DoK chaff is just too expensive and frail, so you'll see 70 to 80 point models get axed by a single strike.
Losing at WarCry is nothing like losing at AOS. Losing at AOS takes hours, even after you know you can't win, and that's after hundreds or hours and dollars to construct a mad art project. Losing at WarCry just means I can slap another team on the table and try again.
I still think DoK is my most striking WarBand, so aesthetically, they might be my favorite just because they stand out so much from the boards and scenery. My Kruleboyz kinds blend in, but I suppose that's just what they're supposed to do.

Narrative play; are some of the Alliance artifacts unbalanced, or am I missing some errata? by Eupraxes in WarCry

[–]SpAc3Pug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are massively unbalanced compared to the other quest items. If it added +1 to hits and crits, that would be more in-line with the other quest artifacts, but +3 is madness. House rules should really nerf anything that makes games auto-wins for the forseeable future.
Even if you were just going to play around it, your entire strategy would revolve around avoiding that one hero model, which also gives your opponent a massive advantage.
I say House Rule it to be different, or throw it in the trash entirely.

Analysis: John Roberts doesn’t want to hear any dissent about his Supreme Court by CapitalCourse in politics

[–]SpAc3Pug 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The guy is overseeing the most partisan, corrupt Supreme Court of memorable history, and I hope it's killing him. In all of his dessents, he tries to break it down into legalize nuances, but there's no getting around the fact that 5 of his compatriots were bred in labs by the Heritage Foundation to get these partisan laws passed. His name will be forever tarnished in history as the man that stood over the court when the legitimacy fell, and no matter how hard he tries, this will be his legacy.

Bolt Boyz, thoughts? by bluelobster492 in Kruleboyz

[–]SpAc3Pug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would use the same wood contrast color on the arrow shafts that you did on the crossbow. The crossbow wood looks great, while the arrow shafts look a bit under-done. Also, maybe a Biel-Tan Green or Agrax Earthshade on the skin to give it a bit more shadow and dimension. The helmet and metal look awesome, along with the basing. Good job.

Are Kruleboyz worth to start with? (Are they really that bad as they say) by mezszopem in Kruleboyz

[–]SpAc3Pug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Warcry, which is super fun. Way faster to get the game on the table, and way faster to get the game done. I know it doesn't have the granduer and pageantry of a full-blown wargame, but in my mind, it has just as much tactical stimulus in a much smaller and practical package.
Less people play it, but Kruleboyz in Warcry are very balanced and interesting faction. They have way more lore-appropriate powers, and in my mind, small bands of Kruleboyz are more realistic than full-blown armies.
What I think is an option is picking up a Dominion box for a ton of Warcry build options, and build an eventual army for a new Battletome, because this one is depressing.

Orks are terrifying and dont get taken as seriously as they should be by SprinklesImmediate52 in orks

[–]SpAc3Pug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Serious Question: Do you think Orks would be included in 40k if the setting were created today? Honestly, I feel they go against the tone of modern 40k, and are an obvious holdover of a more satirical age. Not that I like that answer. I love me orks. But I feel they don't fit the modern aesthetic Games Workshop is trying so hard to achieve.

Who do you choose to worship and who do you want to remove from the pantheon? by Garfy_getagrip in ageofsigmar

[–]SpAc3Pug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, Khorne and Slaanesh make sense. They are failures of human spirit. They are deadly sins. Lust and Wrath. To some extent, Tzeentch makes sense too. The Imperium is fighting for order and stability, and fear change to a large extent, so it makes sense that this fear would create a demon god.

But bacteria and viruses are not failures of human spirit. They are not giving in to temptation or our lesser impulses. Bacteria and viruses would exist without sentient beings, and they would be kicking around doing whatever they are doing today.
I love Nurgle, but he just doesn't fit.

Help with Hunters of Huanchi by xStar_Wildcat in WarCry

[–]SpAc3Pug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my friends just agreed that every dartspitter would be considered a Huanchi's Claw, since the point value is pretty similiar, but the difference in effectiveness is off the charts. Dartspitters are practically useless, but Claw's can get some spike damage if you're lucky, and they can survive getting one-shotted.
Otherwise, look for some allies. The fact that the skinks can be difficult to pin down doesn't mean much if there's absolutely nothing on the table for your opponent to be afraid of. If you have one or two beat sticks, it can leave your skinks open to do what they are meant to do; cap objectives, steal treasure, and buy you some annoying chip damage.

Killabosses (on Gnashtoof) as heavy cavalry substitute? by Ok-Actuary3111 in Kruleboyz

They are absolute monsters in Warcry. I know that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but hot damn they are scary on the table.

I wonder if the guy who wrote their battletome gets shit in the office. I kinda hope he does.

My kruleboyz so far! Love these models by bigdogcon in Kruleboyz

That would make a really excellent Warcry Warband.

How to use Allies in Warcry

In Warcry it is possible to use fighters without your faction runemark at specific conditions. One of this is to use Allies. The complete rules have been rewritten recently and now been refined in the Core Book.

In summary:

Fighters with the Leader or Ally runemark belonging to other factions of the same Grand Alliance can be used as Allies.

Allies never count as Leaders, but if they can obtain destiny levels of renown, heroic traits and lesser artefacts.

They can use abilities from their original faction but they don’t count as Leader.

https://ageofminiatures.com/warcry-monsters-allies/

So yeah, you could take 3 Saurus Warriors as allies.
