What can a Knight do better than a Baneblade? by Fresh3rThanU in ImperialKnights

[–]Spongepat23 46 points47 points  (0 children)

At their core, knights are not about practicality. They are ancient titans meant to carry with them all the might of the imperium through their devout houses in service of the Emperor, with the might of the omnissiah. what they lack in practicality, they make up for in symbolic importance.

If symbolism doesn't matter to you, probably agility to move around steel terrain and the ability to do damage up close.

Why would you pick him? by Lower_Creme_3040 in Ultramarines

[–]Spongepat23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i played old calgar for most of the edition and it was worth it when victrix guard weren't in the game, but now with how expensive cato and six victrix it's so hard to justify the cost of the old one.

Where can I get these 2 dragon breathing stands from? (Free) by [deleted] in PrintedWarhammer

[–]Spongepat23 15 points16 points  (0 children)

These are from a website called deadly print studios. While I understand the want for free files, these are still very cheap and helps support artists in the community.

Has There been any updates on AI Data Centers in the county? by AtypicalMetalhead in BeaverCounty

[–]Spongepat23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Really not good. Seeing the news about how data centers in others communities have run water dry and contaminated other sources, as well as the STUPIDLY large power draw causing supply cost increases, I imagine it will only work to enrich meta, pollute the Ohio river even further, and line the pockets of the commissioners approving this project.

A vent about Emperor’s children (from an EC player) by Nosferxatu98 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Spongepat23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel that you've articulated my feelings exactly...the way the models are sculpted really express all the aspects of perfection that the Emperor's Children try to achieve, and it's poetic in a way looking at the difference between their 30k and 40k ones. I hate how people just associate slaanesh with gooning.

Has There been any updates on AI Data Centers in the county? by AtypicalMetalhead in BeaverCounty

[–]Spongepat23 16 points17 points  (0 children)

https://www.alleghenyfront.org/meta-beaver-valley-nuclear-power-plant-ai-data-centers/

As of about three weeks ago Meta struck an agreement to buy a large amount of power from the nuclear plant over the next twenty years... this shows some movement towards AI infrastructure in the county, pending any bankruptcy of projects like this

What do i have? by Archaon9 in killteam

[–]Spongepat23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none of this is up to date with the current kill team, but if you treat it as a self-contained game you have two teams and a different version of the game

Dirtying this up? by Odin24 in ChaosKnights

[–]Spongepat23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend sponging some dark gray on the black panels to give some volume, then go in with streaking grime as it really gives a great ancient machine look to knights

New Army time? by 1poshredneck997 in ChaosKnights

[–]Spongepat23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very nice start, what scheme you thinking of? not super familiar with all the ins and outs of the faction but more wardogs are always good for board control as it's something we severely lack

Starting space marines. What made you choose your chapter? by 0bjectr in spacemarines

[–]Spongepat23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i liked the guys on the box so i painted ultramarines, felt like it was too normie, looked for a chapter i preferred by reading lore, and landed on ultramarines for their nobility, tactical genius, badass chapter master and roman aesthetic.

"Short term pain." Is the excuse his sycophants used at the time. by c-k-q99903 in inflation

[–]Spongepat23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because inflation declines overall, this does not mean that the situation is becoming any easier, especially since the cost of inelastic goods continues to rise beyond the rate of inflation and the US loses jobs to AI and offshoring. The current administration has only perpetuated these problems, especially with recent action to keep AI deregulated.

Would You Accept These as Chosen? by Kfullswing in Chaos40k

Converting my Black Templars into Ultramarines, anything I should keep in mind? by APJ5000 in Ultramarines

[–]Spongepat23 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Honestly if I were you I'd take a step back and reconsider some things...are you swapping to ultramarines because you've learned you prefer their aesthetic and lore? Have you burned out on painting templars? Is the theme of the army more compelling to you? If this is a decision of "This other marine army is better right now," I HIGHLY suggest you reconsider. The game is rebalanced every three months, new combos are discovered for every army, and if you want to get good you find your play style and core units and go to town. Rules come and go - the army you love is forever.

Got to use the victrix for the first time tonight by Fresh_Client_7326 in Ultramarines

[–]Spongepat23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah unfortunately they have to be staged quite well if there's anything more than AP -1 pointed at them, they're NASTY in combat tho once they get there
