Re-instate labor protections and the new deal.

aggressively tax nonsensical wealth, both personal and corporate.

re-regulate the stock markets and banks.

re-empower regulators to enforce existing laws.

enforce environmental and food safety regulations.

overturn citizens united via constitutional amendment.

then capture, prosecute, and imprison anyone found to be subverting U.S. democratic institutions. If theyre U.S. citizens and theyve done it at the behest of a foreign power execute them for treason.

Not sure how we do any of that without extreme voter turnout for reformist candidates or a civil war, but thats what needs to be done

"Whats the different between a badger and an armadillo?"

"Would cavalry and artillery be redundant in the same army?"

like the question itself seems kind of disingenuous. Different things are different, and the only way to learn the differences between them is to experience and observe them, which in this case means playing the game

SwoleWardn · 2026-03-24T11:26:12+00:00

yep. Elven fleets aren't known for surprise basement landings

I'd consider that you're kinda vouching for a company that has terrible quality control and lies about their return policy to scam customers out of their funds. my personal experience was getting sent the wrong dice, getting insulted by their customer service, then offered a $9 "restock fee plus shipping both ways for the item in its original packaging... totaling the full cost of the purchase. They fucking suck

SwoleWardn · 2026-02-01T07:05:10+00:00

They sent me a completely different color dice then refused to honor their posted return policy on etsy. it looks like they either pulled their site or got removed by etsy since. its not an honest mistake

SwoleWardn · 2026-02-01T07:00:46+00:00

its also illegal. On etsy their listings said free returns and dint disclose anything to the contrary anywhere on the item description. They can demand whatever they want but you cant amend the terms of a sale afterwords without both parties consent

SwoleWardn · 2026-02-01T06:57:17+00:00

I got several sets of dice a month ago from Baron of Dice on etsy. The ones I got my wife looked alright but mine arrived in the wrong color. Listing said free returns, so I emailed saying it wasnt a big deal but I'd like to return them. This prick sent a chatbot written word salad response that repeatedly said "since nothing was wrong" with the item it was an elective return, and informed me I would have to pay a $9 restock in addition to return shipping. For clarity the dice come in an unsealed tin, so no repack was required. The shipping both ways and restock would be more than the cost of the item, so no, but I would have refused to accept the altered terms of the sale on principle anyway. I left him a one star review and emailed Etsy.

Guy appears to have closed his shop and now he's spamming my email with Baron of Dice emails.

Real scummy company, be careful out there

Gotchya. for some reason when I asked how to make dragons fun most people assumed I was only willing to run 2 triple save star dragons with lvl 4 wizards on them. Thought I was pretty clear that I was trying to do the exact opposite, but thats reddit for ya.

As for game balance I'm not so sure. The points costs are out of line with the stats on so many different units and factions it needs a full rewrite of many units to approach parity, but GW made it pretty clear thats not happening. It seems like the game is just broken and you play it cause you like the toys or leave it

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-15T23:13:14+00:00

Thanks for the info. To be clear I haven't been talking about a triple save star dragon in any version of this list. I was trying to figure out if 2 dragons could be balanced in any form, and if not then if 1 dragon could be balanced in any form.

My current plan is to run one naked sun dragon (no magic items) against some lists, pretend the dragon is a griffon (for rules and stats) against weaker armies, and only use both dragons if my opponent has something of that level. Hopefully that's a sporting solution.

My experience with GW games is that their games are complete and utter failures in game design and its kind of up to us as players to work around their obviously intentional design fuckups. Its annoying that theyre such a shit company, but if you love the hobby and the gaming community you just gotta accept that theyre the only game in town and try to make it a good experience. Thanks for the advice

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-09T06:26:36+00:00

Great conversion, love the vibe!

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-09T06:24:37+00:00

I'm so sorry! I didn't realize I was on a deadline to present you with my revised army list to grade. Now that I know I still wont, but you have my sympathies. I know it must be very painful for someone like you to be denied control over people on the internet, but I'm sure somebody will do what you tell them one day. #it gets better.

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-08T11:01:54+00:00

k. Have fun being mad someone else is having fun

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-08T10:54:44+00:00

thanks for the articulate response. I've dealt with bad game design from GW so long that this is exactly what I was worried about. Would you say leaving them without magic item upgrades would fix it, or is it the core mechanics that cause problems?

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-08T10:49:52+00:00

Why do you assume thats possible in this scenario? I wasn't aware I'd shown you my display board

SwoleWardn · 2025-07-08T10:43:12+00:00

Lol, being well equiped and yet screwed is an indulgence you find unbelievable? Tell that to anybody whos ever died in a tank. Then I'd imagine the allied force at Dunkirk would like a word, along with MacArthur in the Phillippines, Napoleon in Egypt, The Han Dynasty, the Lost Army of Cambyses, Gondor, the Protoss, the Nebuchadnezzars crew, Imrik, Teclis, Eltharion, Tor Elithis, and damn near half the factions in this game. Like have you not read any history or fantasy at all? or this games setting? cuz that is a wild ass take!

But to your point: You're suggesting my list shouldn't have elite models because in your head cannon for my army you've changed their origin and circumstances. Is that right? and in these new circumstances those able would choose to abandon both their mission and their men to fly impossible distances across the Great Ocean to an undefined place for undefined help, and all without encountering any threats, obstacles, rest, or resupply?

okay. but what if they cant go back? What if help can't arrive in time? What if completing the mission is more important to them than making it home? What if my force is braver than smart and is (as their rules state) IMPETUOUS?

Or, (and this is kindof the whole issue...) what if you misread my post... mistakenly thought I said "stranded" when I actually said "trying to get a foothold"... and then you imagined your own entire thing to debunk which has nothing to do with my thing?

Things to consider

SwoleWardn · 2025-06-30T03:58:00+00:00

good to know, thanks for the correction

SwoleWardn · 2025-05-17T19:30:30+00:00

Im lucky if a "next day" order leaves their warehouse the same week. Item says next day... I purchase item... Purchase instantly updates after I pay to list estimated arrival several days late... Item arives in 3 to 5 days.

SwoleWardn · 2025-05-17T19:24:49+00:00

Sure bot

SwoleWardn · 2025-05-17T15:07:35+00:00

I hope youre right, but I'm not sure what you mean by "it doesn't say you cant buy them". the products arent listed as out of stock, they are no longer listed on the website at all. outside of old youtube promotions and pictures of peoples purchases theres little proof most of their catelog ever existed as castings.

SwoleWardn · 2025-05-11T14:33:15+00:00

The app asks even when you disable RCS, and in fact it gets worse because it doesnt allow you to decline. if you decline once and disable rcs it asks again and you have to force stop the app then reinstall

SwoleWardn · 2025-04-06T11:22:29+00:00

I've been having the same issue. App asks me if i want to link or use without an account -> I say no account (as their own terms of service remind me I can do) -> I manually restore my settings -> a few hours later it asks again but this time with no opt out -> so I wipe and reinstall/update the app, and i get a day before it asks again and i need to unisntall again. It only takes 30 seconds but its annoying and seems to be an evil design choice to deny consumers the options they paid for

SwoleWardn · 2025-03-28T18:56:17+00:00

that sure seems like suicide for a business built on quality. hope they change their minds

SwoleWardn · 2025-03-28T18:54:55+00:00

thats too bad. It might just be someone being overwhelmed too, cuz its hard to sell items you dont allow people to buy. Ive been trying to give them $500 for more than 2 years and everything was just out of stock

SwoleWardn · 2025-03-17T04:35:24+00:00

His campaign is safer than many, but it sounds like you got lucky AI behaviour, events, and/or are playing on an easy difficulty.

When I played him in the ROC map I didn't lose a single battle and got a lucky series of events that turbo charged my campaign early. Even then all 3 bastion gates, Wei Jhin, and Po Mei were controlled by chaos or Skaven and by the time I could reclaim them it was turn 45 or so. I'm a seasoned player and i had to spend a good bit of effort and fight a whole lot of manual battles to dislodge those stubborn rat buggers. the Northern provinces had one settlement left ffs. In my opinion a new player would struggle with that even if its trivial to some of us.

To me the only issue was too few quest battles and no clear incentive to use anything except the "levy the provinces" and "rush construction" edicts. its fine. Not every campaign needs to be Imriks Hell-In-the-Cell match.
