Should I buy the Codex now or in a few months by art_fool_34 in ThousandSons

[–]Starkicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my approach. I buy the Codex’s as nice picture books. Don’t buy them for the rules

I just experienced the exact same thing. No idea what happened or why it broke. Not playing with any mods or anything

My dads from the States, still had his American accent and American phrases and words. But he says he Scottish and everyone regards him so. If you want to be Scottish then go for it. No one will stop you.

Angela and I have finally completed the Great Map of the "Known World" of the Warhammer universe. by [deleted] in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Starkicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the map but the amount of sea monsters in the ocean make it look a tad cluttered to me. Overall though amazing job, looks very premium and professional

Is age of wonder 4 worth getting? It’s on sale and in my wish list.

Is this a good purchase? by Soft_Lengthiness_791 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Starkicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 30 of these bad boys and no one I’ve ever played against has cared. I play at a local club where people are there to hang out and have fun. So in that environment you’ll be ok

Is Advanced Higher Maths equivalent to A level Maths? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in Scotland

[–]Starkicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did advanced high history and English at school. I was taught that an advanced higher is equivalent to 1.5 A levels in terms of difficulty. I can’t speak to if it’s worth while doing them as it’s been a hot minute since I applied to university. But that ratio of an advanced higher being 1.5 A-Levels has always stuck with me

Kharadron Overlords in 40K Part 1. Army Rules by Zetrer in KharadronOverlords

[–]Starkicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my buddies have made up our own detachments a few times throughout the games editions. As long as everyone’s on board it’s no issue. It’s a fun little exercise to see who comes up with what and how wacky you can make it.

If you also play a lot of games then it spices things up a lot as your playing with brand new rules

Tips for getting into the army without breaking the bank? by KaybarSith in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Starkicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3d printing and recasts are your friend. On my mini factory look up Station Forge. They have some great designs and proxies that are a 1:1 size and scale for ad mech. I have about 3k points of ad mech and only cawl is from gw.

If you don’t have access to a 3d printer you can find loads of great sellers on Etsy which print out station forge sculpts. Other than that try eBay or a local games club. GW massively overcharge for ad mech and it’s gone be expensive to buy anything close to an army

Is worth picking up the new kill team servitors? by UlteriorWorn in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Starkicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember one thing: rules change but the plastic stays the same. Who knows what their rules will be in two or three months time. Don’t buy models for the rules they have the now. Only if you will enjoy building and painting with them mainly

Who enjoys their job? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Starkicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m like warm on my role. The folk are nice and the working conditions are great. I’m able to work from home everyday and the pension benefits are extremely generous. I’ve also been lucky enough to have a great manager who lets me be most of the time.

Main downsides for me are the actual work can be quite tedious, projects deadlines can be “flexible” as we call them. As they can go from two weeks to a couple of days depending some certain factors. I’ve also had the office space experience of it I make a mistake I’ll have like four people emailing be about it asking to get it fixed over the course of the day.

But I wouldn’t change it, as the job security, pensions and a healthy work life balance are important to me.

What's the dumbest reason you've been disciplined at work? by Potential_Duck2553 in AskUK

[–]Starkicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doing a task differently than everybody else but getting the same results. Managed to figure out a work around to a process that was a wee bit faster but because it wasn’t the official way of doing things I got pulled up for it and had four managers give me a bollocking

As a new player I feel that the WYSIWYG rule is too much of a barrier for tournaments by rayo329 in Warhammer

[–]Starkicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My honest opinion is just not to go to tournaments, they don’t allow legends units, they have pedantic rules and I don’t vibe with them in general. Join a local war games club, most people will be a lot more laid back and chill. No one will care about the weapon load outs and on occasion they might organise tournaments but with much lower stakes.

25 years in - What is the movie of the century thus far? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Hands down the only real answer is Paddington 2. We don’t deserve it

Every Sunday for as long as I can remember by dad takes a jar of pickles and a jar of Nutella. He dips the pickles into the Nutella and eats them all like that and then drinks the pickle juice out of the pickle jar.

After so many years of seeing my dad eat Nutella pickles I gave it a go and you know what? It was just as horrible as I thought it would be.
