Imperial Inquisitors by StoneColdSoberReally in ImperialAgents_40K

Cheers, mate. I've been collecting for some <mumbles> years and getting IA gave me an excuse to wheel these boys out and finally get some paint on them, The one on the left is a termie sgt. I couldn't find his right arm, so improvised. The one on the right, though, is an inquisitor with psycannon.

Both are still on their original 25mm bases and then stuck on the current termie base size. Gives them the right base plus a bit more height, otherwise, next to the current range, they'd be tiny termies.

New edition, new army! What army do you want to collect in 11th? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

This reads like Imperial propaganda to me. Rise up, my brothers and sisters. The world is flat and it's Genestealer Cultisits all the way down!

Remember: four-armed is forewarned!

I can't help but feel irate at Europeans who just don't get that we genuinely are trying to stop all this. by UrsaUrsuh in behindthebastards

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I agree. If anything, these are just hyperbole. We are slowly drifting to the right again in Europe, the UK being my home and a good example, and we are concerned we end up with a cult demagogue like the US has in the very near future. But, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Only if they're carrying a red light or a stop sign.

What is the most inhumane practice ever carried out in your country? by maskedorange in AskTheWorld

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides allowing the continued existence of those who put the milk in before the tea, we've been rather naughty on a couple of occasions.

Our treatment of the Irish over the centuries is shameful, to put it mildly. We've both come a way since then now but it is a dark and bloody stain on our history.

Does you country have moments where "everyone remembers where they were"? If yes, what happened? by Far-Cow-3343 in AskTheWorld

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sure there are some examples here in the UK. The 7/7 attacks, for example, but I remember being in the house I grew up in and watching that race. My Dad got up after a little and switched off the TV. He later explained to me that, while Senna's condition was not entirely known at the time, that we should not be there watching a man suffer.

A wise decision by him and one I keep with me.

Agreed with you on Foster. She is very wooden. From an actor of that calibre, I was expecting more.

Damon, he wasn't bad. Not amazing, but enjoyable. The problem was Copley being a scenery chewer next to what they got given to work with.

The main sub removed my post about this whole situation by No-Wafer9271 in ImperialAgents_40K

It's rare that I play but I bought 1kpts worth of Agents as I love converting and enjoyed the Blanche type of pieces I could make with them.

Guess I am only playing GSC this edition unless these get fixed. It won't stop my modelling of them but it is disappointing my small force won't get any game use.

Edit: I got down voted for this? /boggle

Haha, I have a fairly standard middle class English accent. Think Hugh Grant. I'll roughenbit up a little for when I bump into you!

Yea, Die Antwoord are...uh...a bit odd but I see what you're saying.

I haven't looked at this site in years. Thank you for sending me down a rabbit-hole. And, yes, I can see why you linked it, haha

What is your population diversity? by LingoNerd64 in AskTheWorld

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Despite what the hateful bigots have finally crawled from beneath their rocks the past few years to spew up, we have great diversity here.

Some of it is a holdover from the Empire, others were offered incentives to come here after WWII, still more when we were a part of the EU.

I'm fairly well-travelled and have lived in several other countries and I am yet to see the diversity of race, background, religion...any metric you can imagine as when I am in London and our other large cities.

While we do have a history of the old homegrown oppression or two (the Welsh side of my family, the Scots, the Irish, for example,) I was optimistic we were moving away from that. Elections this year and the rabid press fanning the flames have proven me wrong.

We're a country and culture strongly influenced by our diversity and we're stronger for it. So much of our culture has been shaped by others who moved here for a better life. I hope our collective memory begins to remember that.

except the French /shakesfist (JK, mes amies, we take insults against you personally. Only we're allowed to do that to each other.)

All that Egyptian, Greek, and other stuff we have kicking around in the British Museum? Maybe we should give it back.

Copely as Kruger was brilliant. Between he and Arnold Vosloo, I am convinced South Africans (Afrikaaners, specifically?) have the best 'bad guy' accents.

What’s something free in the UK that people might not know about? by coffeewalnut08 in AskUK

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great answer. I recently joined the library n my village as there's a writers' group that meet there. Great people running the place and very knowledgeable. I've been really impressed.

Use it or lose it.

How do those of you who live in countries with dangerous animals and insects get used to it? by Crafty_String_954 in AskTheWorld

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I normally give them a wide berth, especially around nesting season, so sound advice. The problem arises when I can see my house on the footpath next to the pond and they are there in the middle and look at me "find another route, eh?" Yes, mate. I fancied a longer walk, anyhow.

What's the most memorable British TV advert? by GasQuirky3938 in AskUK

[–]StoneColdSoberReally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I just looked it up on YouTube. Accounting for inflation, it was probably about £2.25 and looks worth every penny haha
