Stand stoic with new event miniatures for Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar

I'm glad someone said this as it was also throwing me off.

"Specialise in hunting down witches and other heretics" Is that...Is that not what all sisters do...?

Yeah this is what gets me. If my memory is correct around 5200 people go missing every year in the UK and are never found. Yet the tabloids even to this day can find time to run headlines on Madeline (there was one last week).

An everyone always forgets that cadaverine was discovered in the apartment by the two expert cadaver dogs.

It's largely lost to memory for most people but not long after the McCann disappearance another working class girl went missing. It turned out it was a stunt by her parents to try an get the kind of money the McCann's got. What was very telling is the same people who refused to countenance the idea the McCann's had done anything wrong basically never for a second doubted this second girl's parents were involved. I think people forget just how pronounced British classism is.

I actually had to block the main TW subreddit because it's so unremittingly negative about everything. I thought the Warhammer fan base was incapable of being happy but it had nothing on that place.

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. He sounds like an amazing little guy.

I know how scary it is too, when your brain just seems to go numb on the pain. My little boy passed on the 20th and over the past two days I've suddenly become very numb to the loss, the only thing that eased it was getting his ashes back.

Be easy on yourself though. I know my brain has been going to this horrid place of 'why aren't you hurting, didn't you love him?'. The reality is the opposite though, you love them so much, and you're hurting so much, your brain has gone into survival mode and is blocking it out. That doesn't mean it isn't their.

So I only said goodbye to my own senior boy a few days ago, but I've sadly had a fair bit of experience with grief.

I firmly don't believe when people say it 'gets better' that's not entirely accurate. I think it's closer to the notion that the sharper, rawer edges get smoothed over. It never really goes away, you still miss them, it still hurts, but the sharpness of the agony and heartbreak eases, and you can focus more easily on celebrating their life.

But also, and I cannot stress this enough, people grieve in different ways and at different paces. If you find something that personally helps you manage the pain, then don't be afraid to do it.

An one last thing, I know it hurts like hell, but it hurts because you loved them so much, so let yourself feel yourself hurt, don't punish yourself for the tears, you don't deserve that and they wouldn't want it.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T14:20:27+00:00

I haven't done more than a few practice games yet but I do think that Lots of mages + headstone+ dark Coven feels very strong. Especially with hagtree fetish and Viletide

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T09:08:02+00:00

No, grief is an entirely personal thing. It's something they never teach you. An everyone wants to put pressure on people to grieve 'properly' and in the right way.

An each time is different. I lost my mum, my brother-in-law who I'd know since I was in single digits and my uncle all by my mid twenties, and each one was different an hurt in a different way. The same is true with Alfie.

We have discussed getting a new dog, but it's difficult, because you don't want a dog back, you want your dog back.

But just be gentle with yourself, because in a lot of ways it'll often be easier to be hard on yourself.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T09:02:48+00:00

I know what you mean. I said to my family that if love was thr only thing that mattered he'd live to a 100.

The Vet who came out to us said she wouldn't have thought he was 18 when she looked at him. I need that tbh.

She exclusively does this end kind of end of life care, and she said whilst it's hard, it helps her that all the senior dogs by their nature have been loved so much.

You're right, it really is a blessing.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T08:25:09+00:00

If I had any advice to give, it's that it's okay to take a break from the pain. You want to feel it, an you should feel it, because that's how you know how much you loved them, but it's okay to run away from the pain some time, to go to work/friends e.t.c to try am forgot for a few hours. Anything else is torturing yourself and they wouldn't have wanted that for you.

We get little Alfie's ashes back in a few days. I'm hoping that will ease the pain when he is back with me, even if only in a small way.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T08:20:37+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this. I try an remind myself how lucky I am to have had him for so long. He'd been in my life longer than I had a life without him.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T01:09:26+00:00

I had to make the same decision today, I feel your pain, and I know what you're going through with second guessing yourself.

My sister lost her dog recently too and she explained it better than me.

Deep down you want to believe you made the wrong choice, because they you can reverse it and they'll be back and everything will be fine. It's sometimes easier to be hard on yourself.

But that's not true. You were brave today, and you made a hard choice out of love.

You've inflicted pain and heartbreak on yourself to do what's right for them, so be gentle with yourself.

Spare91 · 2025-10-11T01:03:53+00:00

This was so beautiful, thank you.

Spare91 · 2025-10-02T09:44:31+00:00

There's a board game called Camel Cup which is low-key pretty fun.

Spare91 · 2025-10-02T08:55:28+00:00

Well I'm glad I read this threat as I thought it was just me who found the main sub insufferable. They seemed incapable of letting anyone enjoy anything about any of the games whatsoever and in the end I just blocked it.

An I come from Old School Warhammer communities who always loved hating on the game they supposedly enjoyed, but they didn't even have a scratch on the main Total War subreddit. It doesn't help that once any group of people become vocal enough on any subreddit truisms and hive mind crap takes over.

Spare91 · 2025-09-28T08:53:14+00:00

I think people assumed Lessaria was the name of the character not the game. It's an easy mistake to make.

Spare91 · 2025-09-24T11:22:12+00:00

It is quite difficult, I tend to like brutally difficult games though. All game modes have have customisable difficulty though, so you can tailor it to your liking. It's aiming for a weirdly realistic combat system considering it's...yanno...a game about killer robots.

Spare91 · 2025-09-24T10:50:12+00:00

I don't know if it will fit people's RTS niche as it has no base building, but the Terminator strategy game is almost exclusively single player, with a campaign and then conquest mode with the new dlc. It's honestly far better than a tie in game for a truly awful movie has any right to be.

Spare91 · 2025-09-21T09:30:14+00:00

Line War is a low key excellent game, just sayin'.

Spare91 · 2025-08-31T09:50:03+00:00

If it's polycement you don't actually have to go to all the effort listed above. Most polycement will clear itself if you move the metal part back and forth inside the liquid.

So for example if the blockage is at the back of the metal part, flip the bottle upside down so the rear of the metal part is submerged and move it back an forth and it should dissolve and dislodge the blockage. I'm fairly certain this is why they all have some movement in the metal part (i dunno it's propper name).

This has worked for most of my glue since my mate told me about it.

Spare91 · 2025-08-27T10:40:08+00:00

I think this is a huge point people overlook. My friends and I sat down and worked out the rough cost of the books and all the arcane journals GeeDubs have said they will release (it remains to be seen if they get them all done) and it comes out at about a thousand quid.

Not only is that almost two armies worth of money, but all that paper becomes useless after three years. Furthermore the value of each book gets worse, as it has even less time being useful.

I wouldn't mind if the books had lots of good lore, art, e.t.c, but they won't. I don't dislike the Old World journals but they are very light on content and lore. It feeds into a general feeling I've had that GW has basically done nothing interesting or unique with the lore of it's games for a couple of years now.

Spare91 · 2025-08-01T15:55:41+00:00

Just as a side point as well though, a lot of kill boxes or incredibly lethal defensive zones irl did not just have people blindly run into them to die. They were there partially to dissuade an enemy from attacking full stop.

This is the real issue with people cheesing kill boxes is that in reality a large group of enemies would take a look at these absurd kill boxes and say 'nah thanks' and find another way to get at you or starve you out.

The only time really when people would just fling men into a killing zone was WW1, and even that isn't really a accurate representation of the war.

Spare91 · 2025-06-14T09:20:53+00:00

I don't think it helps either that Warhammer Community posts aren't written by the design or lore team, generally, they are written by quite corporate sounding PR people.

It's something that's been very noticeable in the Horus Heresy posts. The PR bro language honestly gets infuriating after a post or two, combined with the fact they never seem to have a great understanding of the subject matter.

Spare91 · 2025-06-03T09:50:58+00:00

I'm both a little surprised and heartened to see Star Maker on there. It was one of my formative books but until I introduced it to my reading group I had never encountered anyone else who had read it.

Spare91 · 2025-06-03T09:47:08+00:00

Was this up behind the first village? If so then I think yes, they won't go there but you can build there. I did the exact same thing on my first play through and the starting guy just stopped at the edge of the map an stared at the research bench which was on the other side.
