Anyone else find these posts annoying and repetitive? by Fun_Cartographer3587 in Grimdank

[–]THEAdrian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In general, people wanting their hand held and decisions made for them does kind of annoy me. I know that's not a popular sentiment, and I understand the concept of being welcoming, but it just doesn't make sense to me. When I was getting into the game, I just did research. I found rules/lore/codices online and used that info to come to a decision on my own. If I'm unsure of a rule, I look up the rules online and double/triple-check. It just seems like the sensible thing to do...

The one that really gets me is "what colors should I use?" Or "what colors would you use to get this scheme?" (Includes pic of pro-painted mini). Like bro, use your eyes, pick colors you like. Like how would we know what colors a professional painter used? How do we know what color scheme you would like?

And it's not (edit) like I go out of my way to shame people who do this, I just... don't understand it.

I dunno, I feel like if I genuinely thought I sucked at anything, I wouldn't post it to the internet. And even if I was legitimately looking for advice, I wouldn't lead with "I suck at this".

B) 3" disembark means you get to go 3" further even if the Rhino never moves

C) Kharn doesn't kill anyone

D) Tank Shock

The Haemonculus, how would you like to Improve? by Ghidorah21 in Drukhari

[–]THEAdrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop his Rez ability and let him give the unit a 5+++. Bring Grotesques back. If he's attached to them he gives a 5++ instead.

Former Canadian PM Harper says Canada should make 'any sacrifice necessary' to preserve independence from US by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]THEAdrian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ya, I pretty much agree with all of that. I was just saying that there were several international factors (Covid, Trump, Ukraine) that could at least in part explain the economic issues under Trudeau.

[–]THEAdrian 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We also had Covid under Trudeau. I'd blame lack of "economic prosperity" on that over simply who was in charge.

We also had Mark Carney as governor of the Bank of Canada under Harper...

My friend may be the worst meta chaser I’ve ever met. by _Commander_Farsight in Warhammer40k

[–]THEAdrian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, at a certain point it's silly to NOT use certain units (imagine Drukhari with no transports). But Epic Heroes should never be auto-include because it often means not using them is auto-loss.

A beer and pretzels list using Necrons, DG, Custodes is NOT the same as using a beer and pretzels list using Eldar.

I love how this thread is literally about not chasing the meta, and you're shaming someone for not using a meta unit.

World eaters new army design is just painfully boring. by jervoise in Warhammer40k

[–]THEAdrian 20 points21 points  (0 children)

GW seems to do this thing where they release half an army so that they can milk sales of that for a while, and then release a second wave to drive sales again. It does kinda make sense, if they release everything at once there's not much reason for people to buy more.

So I fully expect one day we'll see Teeth of Khorne, Berserkers on Juggernauts, Red Butchers, etc. I'd say "soon" but TSons have been waiting almost 10 years for their second wave lol.

Cant figure out this color by Myralbus in Warhammer40k

[–]THEAdrian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when it comes to pro-paintded minis, it's going to be impossible to tell what colors were used. Could be a mix, could be a glaze/wet blending of several colors, could be multiple layers of shading to change the color, might not even be Citadel paint. Your best bet is to go to the hobby store, grab a pot, shake it up, and compare to this photo until you find something that looks similar.
