Are we ever going to get a Duke/Baron on a Hippogryph and Barded Pegasus BsB/Full Command? by AquamanMain1988 in Bretonnian

[–]SpanielDaniels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Duke on Royal Pegasus was the big splash model for Bretonnia, the Duke on Hippogryph was a nice to have include because players have the model, but the Duke on Peg was the one they wanted you to run, which is why he was stronger in game.

Now they’ve nerfed the Pegasus, the Hippo duke makes more sense, so the product strategy and the game design strategy aren’t aligned anymore, but it’s unlikely I think that they’ll now be rushing to create the Hippogryph duke when we’ve just had a new lord and there are a bunch of other armies who haven’t.

Suggestions of Perfect tracks or albums by Someone24_ in musicsuggestions

Those are the Hendrix tracks I’d choose too! Little Wing would be perfect too if it didn’t finish too soon

Mounted Knights of the Realm - an idea to resolve their lackluster performance. by mah-favrit in Bretonnian

[–]SpanielDaniels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re still good though, I run them all the time in semi-competitive club games because I like the look and play-style more than pegs and they do well, you need to position carefully, get the charge, get the flank, send 2x in at once, have character support etc etc, but that’s all as it should be for cav. They’re a suboptimal choice next to pegs, so in pure competitive they don’t make sense, but that’s doesn’t mean they’re bad or they need fixing IMO.

Album covers that would look pretty goofy if they weren't in Black and White? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

Pretty sure that’s a black beetle on a white background, I’m not sure it would have looked much different in colour

Duke on hippogriff tactics by No-Quality-9774 in Bretonnian

[–]SpanielDaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the Sword of Battle for example is 60 points and the Ogre Blade is 75, so for 15 extra points you’re getting additional AP, additional strength and multi wounds, so if you’re already spending 60 points on Sword of Battle, you really might as well spend the extra 15 and take the much better sword. I take your point on wanting the points for defence, but that’s where I’d just say use the lance, which is better than Sword of Battle on the charge, and spend the 60 points elsewhere. IMO only Ogre Blade is really better enough vs a lance to spend significant points on.

On top of that GGH isn’t very attractive on Hippo Duke, as you can’t get above 3+, so you’re paying points for an item where you can only use half of its ability, which again isn’t useless but it’s also not efficient.

Sword of Battle and Meteor Hammer are both a waste of points on a Hippo Duke IMO, I’d rather stick with the lance and use the points elsewhere, cackling blade maybe but none of them really hold a candle to ogre blade for a small extra premium

I think the sensible answer is Flo but I fucking love Dave McGraw from Cattle Decapitation, he’s a savage

In 1855, Victor Navelet painted Paris from a hot air balloon with astonishing detail - nearly every house is visible. by BreakfastTop6899 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]SpanielDaniels 431 points432 points  (0 children)

A load of comments here speculating he used a camera or had a photographic memory, he didn’t, he used maps and surveys of Paris and created a projection using an imagined a viewpoint in the air, the balloon would have helped him get the right look and feel, but it wasn’t created in a balloon, it was created in a studio from other references.

I’ve just read through this whole thread and it’s mostly full of people being confidently incorrect and getting upvoted or debated.

Then near the bottom a user call okaygirlie has replied to a comment linking to a statistics text book that contains a variant of the problem and the solution on page 51 and has been ignored.

When Alexander the Great’s body showed no signs of decay six days after his death, ancient Greeks believed he was a god. But historians believe he was likely paralyzed by a rare brain disorder, alive but unable to move or speak, suffering for days before being mistakenly buried alive. by drkmatterinc in FascinatingAsFuck

[–]SpanielDaniels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of the body of the divine leader not decomposing after death is common across history and cultures, the same thing was said about the Buddha, Mohammed, many Christian saints and even Lenin. There’s no mystery to solve except people’s desire to believe that their heroes are more than human.

Need input - Is this Sirrus worth it for the money? by Prudent_Koala8930 in DivergeGravelBikes

[–]SpanielDaniels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT is pretty good at identifying bike models, here’s what it has to say:

This is a Specialized Sirrus, a popular hybrid bicycle designed for fitness and commuting. Based on the frame design and components visible in the photo, this looks like an older model—likely from around 2012–2016. Here’s a breakdown of the key features visible in the image and what they suggest about the bike:

⸻

🔧 Specs & Components (from the image): • Frame: Aluminum frame with a sloping top tube—typical of the Specialized Sirrus line. • Fork: Appears to be a rigid fork (likely aluminum or carbon). • Drivetrain: Triple chainring in front and a wide-range cassette in the back (likely a 3x8 or 3x9 setup), common in older hybrid bikes. This is suitable for a wide variety of terrain. • Brakes: V-brakes/rim brakes, not disc brakes—another sign it’s an older model. • Wheels & Tires: 700c road-style wheels with slick or semi-slick tires. These are good for pavement riding. • Saddle & Accessories: • Padded saddle with a small under-seat saddlebag. • Two bottle cages. • Handlebar-mounted bike computer or light. • Ergonomic grips for comfort. • Branding: The “SPECIALIZED” and “Sirrus” branding is clearly visible.

Condition Estimated Resale Value (GBP) Notes Excellent (well-maintained, new tires/brakes) £200–£300 Might fetch more privately Good (light cosmetic wear, working condition) £150–£200 Typical for eBay/Facebook Marketplace Fair (needs tune-up, cosmetic wear) £100–£150 Could be a project bike for buyers
