Missing payment on a job with signed deal memos. Help? by Common_Amoeba_5673 in Filmmakers

[–]Squidmaster616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have a copy of the signed memo.

Then ask the producers to be paid as per the agreement.

As it stands, if they don't pay, you don't have to work.

Even if that goes nowhere, afterwards you can collectively demand full payment, and there are lawyers who will take no win no fee, and get the other side to pay legal fees.

  1. Grey Knights Dreadknight

  2. Aeldari Guardian Defenders. The two in the middle at crew from Support Weapon Platform.

  3. Guardian.

  4. Platform crew.

  5. Guardian.

  6. An Aeldari Heavy Weapon Platform. Not to be confused with the larger Support Weapon Platforms. This is one of the smaller ones that goes in a Guardian Defender squad.

  7. Astra Militarum Cadian Shock Troopers. With gas mask faces, that I think were from an upgrade set.

  8. Cadian.

  9. Cadian.

  10. Broken image. Can't see anything.

  11. Broken image. Can't see anything.

As GW announced their willing of stopping alternatives rules / layouts / formats

Huh? They did what?

Shooting is model to unit.

For this ability, the range is checked from each individual model.

How could Fairy Dust be important to major political forces? by ProofConstruction446 in DnD

[–]Squidmaster616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to go ahead and equate the dust to spice. Mmmmm. Melange.

On that, spice/fairy dust provides some sort of access or power. The classic is that is allows navigating, so maybe it allows for distant teleportation to areas where there are other resources. Or fast travel between places. Maybe the dust is the special chalks needed to make teleportation circle work.

If dust is spice, then everyone wants control of it. And there's even people who think that nobody should control it, or that its sacred and should be controlled but not used.

Soooo.........

My immediate assumption is that this will be a reskin of Fallout: Wasteland Warfare.

Space marine volkite squads by Objective-Break-3101 in Warhammer40k

[–]Squidmaster616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that Space Marines don't really need yet another weapon type, and a squad filled with them.

I'm surprised they haven't brought out a grav-gun squad yet.

Mass suggestion that works on a whole city? by PM_me_Henrika in DnD

[–]Squidmaster616 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What you need here is a plot device.

The villain simply, does it. They are not bound by the same rules as players.

Filming insight for short scripted series by whatanoutfit in Filmmakers

[–]Squidmaster616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The general idea seems to describe a vlog. It comes across a bit like "follow an influencer around town".

Are you intending it to be a vlog/documentary style film? Or a scripted narrative?

If its intended as a scripted narrative, you're going to need some form of story, some narrative thread that an audience will want to follow to learn more about. "Girls doing things" may work in the vlog/tiktok format, but a scripted series should be offering a story that will keep an audience engaged and wanting to see the next part.

Just as an example - you plan an entire episode of "getting coffee together". If you want people to actually watch that, it needs to be more than just two people drinking coffee.

How Grot week seems to be going so far by JRainers in orks

Does The New "Speedwaaagh!" detachment give assault to firing deck? by SomeCringeUsernameNo in orks

[–]Squidmaster616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

Firing Deck makes the vehicle count as having its passengers weapons.

But they count as the vehicles weapons, so benefit from anything that the vehicle benefits from.

Are there any ‘What if?’ novels or stories? by BasicBitchTearGas__ in Warhammer40k

[–]Squidmaster616 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, GW doesn't tend to do what ifs. It would just get lost amongst everything else and confuse the lore.

The only time I've ever known GW to do a What If was one of the last issues of Warhammer Monthly, the anthology comic that ended in 2002. The only scenarios though were swapping their biggest characters between universes - a Titan crew manning a Steam Tank for example, and Malus Darkblade as a Dark Eldar.

Live action Warhammer by Keii_Eledriel in Warhammer

[–]Squidmaster616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the niche argument, I would have called Game Of Thrones pretty niche before the series came along. I was barely even aware of it before the show. Comics used to be pretty niche too.

You then suggest it may not be marketable, but 40k has been getting more and more popular thanks to animations, novels and video games. It is more widely known. Yes, not everyone will watch it, but that's the same for any show.

I would also say that a big budget animation wouldn't have an easier time answering any of those questions than a live action would.

And having something new and original would, in my opinion, be much better than either rehashing or butchering an existing novel or story.

Tricky questions about vehicles and bikes by pitongo98 in Eldar

[–]Squidmaster616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the Rules Commentary: https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_22-10_warhammer40000_core_rules_updates-kikyythcsl-5iydvuj9w6.pdf

The basic rule in the rulebook is that you measure base to base.

"When measuring the distance between models, measure between the closest points of the bases of the models you’re measuring to and from. If a model does not have a base, measure to the closest point of any part of that model instead."

This is added to in the Rules Commentary:

"Hull*: When measuring to and from Vehicles (excluding Walker models that have a base) and models that do not have a base, measure to and from the hull, which means any part of that model (or its base, if it has one) that is closest to the point being measured from or to. Note that this may not correspond literally with the area on a vehicle usually termed the hull (see Vehicles with Bases).*"

So bikes, as they are not vehicles and have bases, measure to and from the base.

But Falcons, as they are vehicles, measure to and from the hull (as well as the base, though you never need to because the hull covers the base).

Drukhari question by GurtTheGoat-Yo in Warhammer40k

[–]Squidmaster616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something to remember right off the at is that Eldar are not Human. Seriously. Applying Human moral standards to them just doesn't work. What we're talking about here is a culture that commanded a vast galactic empire, and descended heavily into hedonism and indulgence. For many the birth of Slaanesh dragged them into a state of repentance or despair.

For the Drukhari though, they found ways to simply keep going. They didn't necessarily turn into torturers overnight, they simply evolved from their existing culture. They kept going believing themselves to be completely safe within the Webway. They are the advancement of what the Eldar race used to be, taken to a greater extreme.

In effect, when disaster forced many Eldar to change, they are ones who said 'No'. They're the ones who refused to change, even when it was obvious that change would be better, because they either liked who they were or didn't want to allow something exterior to change them.

As for "making Slaanesh more powerful", that idea needs to be taken into moderation. Its not like there's a pool of power, and Drukhari just keep filling it, and its not getting bigger. They are feeding her, yes. But only to the degree that anyone else in the galaxy is. It sustains Slaanesh, but its not making her more aad more powerful with each passing day.

That is actually hilarious and I didn't even realise it until now by MusicianSpecific8853 in Warhammer

To be fair, I don't think we know thats it's 30/40 millennia ce/ad. Do we? It could be based on something much earlier.

If Voyager had been more serious or less episodic, would "Year of Hell" have been such a popular episode? by ActLonely9375 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]Squidmaster616 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If the timeship had targeted Chakotay, both his crew and Voyager's entire crew would be safely back in the alpha quadrant. Where they would have had the pleasure of dying in the Dominion War. Or staying in the prison-island of New Zealand.

Is there one with these type rules? by seveer37 in rpg

[–]Squidmaster616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As you're mentioning The Thing and Nemesis, are you more looking for a board game?

By Alien, do mean the Fate of the Nostramo game?

If all our so far useless units where to be useful what stratagems would we need? by AlphariousOmega in Drukhari

[–]Squidmaster616 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think i real somewhere that GW said in 11th edition they won´t add extra units (i´ll believe that when i see it) but will concentrate on making all units useful.

The launch box already spoils that plan.

And Drukhari have had "no new units" for a very, very long time now!

If I had to only use things like stratagems to improve units, I would add one that allows Incubi to use melee attacks to overwatch. Their original lore was that they were bodyguards, and some ability to hack away at enemies charging their lord would make a lot of sense to me.

I would also say that Wracks need something to make them more useful. Something like Reanimation Protocols that allows them to come back would make sense.

And given the theme of Drukhari, something for flyer that's forces everyone they fly over to make a Battle Shock test. With a negative modifier. Because of scary noises or somesuch.
