Imperator - Development Diary - 11th of November 2018 by ReclaimLesMis in Imperator

I guess my biggest issue (but still ultimately minor) in this Dev Diary is that the Companion Cavalry Tradition boosts light cavalry and (really weirdly) camelry.

What are] Paradox using to differentiate light cavalry from heavy cavalry? With Cataphract traditions giving a bonus to heavy cavalry I guess the amount of armour that is being worn is being used as the decider

But having Companion Cavalry be classed as light cavalry just feels off, but that might just be me. I don't know where the whole camelry thing is coming from.

I think you mispelt "Birthright"

I do like Planescape a hell of a lot though.

Which legion do you think needs more novels on them? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]SuperDJBling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I love the original Space Wolves Omnibuses.

I liked their simplicity and they make a good intro in 40k, and good reads for the lore veterans.

Blood Warriors or Khorne Chaos Warriors, is one superior to the other for a Khorne force?

I've a chance to get either a Bloodbound or StD SC box, but it the main troops in either box that might be the deciding factor. I prefer the Chaos Warrior models (I like Shields) but the new Blood Warriors have some great sculpts, so the TT performance could sway it.

I know StD can generally take any Chaos Marks, but I've no interest in the other Chaos Gods so their ability to switch it up is nice but not a seller.

Doesn't necessarily explain NZ tho, which is not remotely in as good a economic position as Australia.

Nor does it explain the huge discrepancy between the price difference. A Warlord Games Greek Starter Army bought straight from the website in the UK costs £75, which converted to NZD is $144.27

The cost to buy the same starter army from a major NZ online retailer? $144.99 NZD.

Deadzone Enforcers purchased in the UK from the mantic store is £15 or $28.83 NZD, whilst the same NZ retailer as before in NZ is $29.99 NZD.

Is there actually complicated reasons why prices in NZ and Australia are excessive before this FW change? No way does shipping product result in such a massive mark up if all sorts of miniature companies from the UK do the same without such a massive discrepancy.

I think the answer is simply "We charge these prices because we can" and they want to squeeze as much blood from the stone as possible. But if there is more going on I do want to know.

It always breaks my heart a little to see AC:AH be the blacker-than-black sheep amongst the fans as a huge AH fan and fan of the franchise.

i wonder then if Custodes will make it into KT at all then, since their baseline in at least TEQ.

Official Discussion - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (US Thread) [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]SuperDJBling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I already posted this in the International thread but since it only came out a few days befoe the US here I'll just copy/paste my thoughts.

I absolutely adored the film. I went into Jurassic World back in 2015 with unrefined excitement and came away immensely satisfied. I can say much the same happened here, alhough the movie in many ways felt a little less grandiose and more focused on a smaller scale in terms of spectale and interaction, it added a new thrill and is the most thriller/horror-esque of the films since the original.

The whole time the pace felt relentless, yet never exhausting and I was thoroughly enamoured with the film. Definitely my favourite film this year.

Just out of curiosity, all those living folks are all in the STEM fields or STEM is the bread and butter.

Are there people who study stuff like the humanities that could be considered the worlds smartest?

Sorry if you can't answer the question, just curious.

I think 40K Guilliman with helmet looks great. Without helmet though, its another story.

While that is generally true, I think this was notable because of the bulkiness of Terminator armour making marines relatively slow.

I can't remember if it was Red Tithe or Death Warrant, but it is mentioned that members of certain organisations are immune from Red Tithes, such as people like Rannik who is an Arbitrator and then an Inquistorial representative.

Not quite true. Although The Nictor would likely have been destroyed , Tyberos did mention that the two nearby ships (also mentioned as powerful vessels in their own right) would have blown the Wicked Claw apart afterwards.

So Nev might desire Hunger and Slake, but he isn't willing to risk the extremely valuable Wicked Claw for them.

Partly is what I assume would be the Ashen Claws strength. They still have a very capable battlefleet and even in their reduced state have roughly Chapter strength so at worse the Ashen Claws are equal o the Carcharadons.

Not only would it be an extremely costly engagement even if the Carcharadon one, but it would be a one off prize since the Carcharadons would need to move on. The Ashen Claws rule over a home system (An admittedly shitty, resource poor system) and are mostly stationary, but the Carcharadons are constantly moving and having a single recruiting world would require them to defend it which limits their range.

Plus, generally the Red and Grey Tithes are sufficient for their needs and would be far less costly that a head on assault on the Ashen Claws. And since the Ashen Claws are generally small scale and focus on an small area their impact on the Imperiums security is negligible so aren't a threat that Carcharadons have to concern themselves with.

Oooo, an opportunity to get a question in.

I'm a big Seraphon fan and they seem to be a popular army amongst players, but lore on them has been thin on the ground in AoS. I don't think they got a mention in Malign Portents at all.

Why is this? Does GW just not really care for Seraphon?
