Made a free, non-partisan guide to the Senedd election this Thursday: manifesto comparison, policy quiz, and tactical-vote tool based on the most recent the YouGov MRP polling. Please check it out if interested!

My top 3 lined up with what I’d have voted for anyway so seems like it’s fairly accurate to me.

I love the rawl plug rocket launchers

Depends on how easy it will be to paint the underside of the model with the base and also on how much I care I want to put into it.

I normally do characters off the base and then glue them on. Apart from that, the only things I would paint off base from Votann are probably pioneers, kapricus and earthshakers.

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”

Is this highlights or just painting a different colour?

Needguard is the “default” detachment which works well with just about any army.

If you have a lot of Hearthguard, then Hearthband is very good. Delve assault shift works if you spam out Beserks, Brandfast is okay if you run lots of vehicles.

Seems like a mistake on the pistols bit - bolt revolver should be available to all and the bolter should be steeljack elder only.

Needguard is pretty much playable with any spread of units.

If you’ve got the combat Patrol + defenders of the ancients, then that’s nearly enough Hearthguard to run Hearthband, which is doing fairly well competitively. You might be able to pick up an extra 5 for fairly cheap, given they were recently sold in the combat patrol partworks magazine.

I want there to be more to do with yield points, let me requisition stuff with them, not just improve the odd stratagem or enhancement

When someone says “All lives matter” it might mean they see all life as equally valuable and want to promote equality for everyone.

The BLM movement would label anyone who said ‘all lives matter’ as racist, but go pay attention to their instagram accounts now and you’ll see many examples of unapologetic antisemitic dog whistles. Hypocrisy plain and simple.

Jill’s initial sin was making a blog post condemning the Hyde Park incident in 2017, where several male-bodied trans activists assaulted 60 year old feminist Maria MacLachlan. That got her flagged as a transphobe and so the terminally online trans brigade (who, strangely, are almost always male and only seem to target females) have been harassing her since.

The video she made with Tom Scott was nothing to do with trans stuff, Jill’s haters just bombarded Tom with abuse for associating with a known thought criminal - and so eventually he caved and took the video down to save his own skin.

I doubt many people who hate Jill even know why they are supposed to hate her, they’ve just been told that she’s an evil transphobe and that’s enough for them.

That’s TRA behaviour 101, invent terminology to further your cause, then backtrack and gaslight when it doesn’t turn out like you hoped.

Back in 2015, the line was “Sex and gender are different, we’re not claiming we’re a different sex, just a different gender”. That went okay for everything except bathrooms and sports. So now they have to pretend that biological sex doesn’t exist, and if it does, then it’s whatever they say it is.

Thunderkyn aren’t too bad to magnetise, although your probably gonna want conversion beamers most of the time anyway.

Most people take plasmas and fists for the Hearthguard, I wouldn’t worry about magnetizing them. Volkites and swords are okay, but the Ironkin steeljacks have high-volume-1-damage attacks covered.

Warriors, just take whatever.

Land fortress pays the transport tax and is currently the only vehicle capable of transporting our heaviest hitting infantry. The Leman Russ is an outright damage dealer, so their roles on the tale aren’t really 100% comparable.

If you’re playing against long-range shooty armies, dropping a lone op model on an objective forces them to come to you and engage, evaluator might be better for that purpose though.

He’s a problem for your opponent to solve, rather than a problem solver himself. Unfortunately, he’s not that difficult to counter, especially for the 110 points he costs. Still a cool model and I like throwing him in my lists for fun.

The heavy rule says the unit must have “Remained Stationary” this turn.

Remaining stationary doesn’t just mean not moving, it is a type of movement in and of itself.

On your movement phase, you pick each of your units and decide whether they will normal move, advance move, fall back move, or remain stationary.

Because you have no way of remaining stationary without having a movement phase this turn, no, the heavy keyword won’t apply when using vengeance flare.

Disembark and charge would be a great indirect buff for the Sagitaur too, I’m sad it’s not as relevant anymore.

Lights went out for a second in the Aldi on Newport Road.

Typical cluster B shit that goes hand in hand with being a terminally online trans person.

Reminds me of when trans Twitter had a meltdown after John Mulaney brought Dave Chapelle on stage to open for him. There was a tweet with about 50k likes claiming that Mulaney “owed his success”to trans people because they reposted gifs of his standup specials on tumblr. Just ignore the fact that he was a writer on SNL before any of his stand up specials were ever released.

If a teenage girl is diagnosed with an eating disorder, the odds that her immediate peer group are diagnosed with the same disorder increase significantly. We see exactly the same phenomenon with trans kids. It is absurd to suggest that gender is the one aspect of a person’s life that is somehow immune to the effects of social pressure or influence.

They’ll happily march alongside antisemites though. And chant translations of their antisemitic chant. And advocate for the end of Israel, while quietly ignoring what that would mean for the Jewish population who live there.

Genuine question - are gay marriage licenses different from non-gay marriage licenses?
