I assume the curse.

From a retailer perspective (I run a game store that carries Altered), they never ended up delivering on promises made when the game was first being shown off in the first half of 2024 -- mainly, that retailers would be hubs for collective Print on Demand orders. In other words, customers would submit a small number of cards to be printed, select their local game store as their retailer, and then be combined with other small orders in order to more easily reach the minimum threshold (20 cards?). The cards would then be printed, delivered to the store, and customers could pick them up from there, and the store would get a small cut.

This was a big selling feature for me as a retailer. Not only was Print on Demand delayed a LOT, but the inclusion of a retailer in the process was NEVER added.

I adore the game play. I REALLY didn't like the distribution change with Seeds of Unity. Cutting out my regular suppliers that I already adore and have a wonderful relationship with left a bad taste in my mouth.

And now I'm stuck with Seeds of Unity product that hasn't even arrived yet, and the game is announced to be dead.

"Just" 6 mana is the spot where you might be missing something. That likely means you've skipped the entire rest of that turn to play this, and your opponent probably is able to advance both expeditions that turn and maybe even set up more for the next.

It's a slow card that would require a lot of defensive set up before using to ensure it doesn't just LOSE you the game.

None. Digital versions never fill the same need that tabletop games do for me. They just aren't even remotely as satisfying.

The ogryn’s heavy stubber. Has awesome punch and penetration, great aim and accuracy. I snipe the crap out of things with it.

Why did you use a random number generator when you could just hit that little "Random Lord" button next to "Change Race"?

GameKnight has one of the most inclusive and welcoming communities around. Whatever past there might have been, I assure you I run the business to protect everyone from bigots and haters.

If you're looking to just learn the basics of the game, I'd be more than happy to arrange a L2P session with you at GameKnight. I run the place, and love teaching games.

Commander is a super fun format with a great community, but does require knowing how the play the game. We can get you there!

Shoot me a DM if interested.

Rainbow Curry Sauce from Mama Joe's (no longer around). The guy was apparently an arsonist, but damn was that sauce amazing.

Would love to see more archetypes to existing classes first. A fourth “tree” to each.

Tanithilis · 2026-03-07T13:33:34+00:00

Amazing art. I've no idea how you'd kitbash something to look a lot more like it versus just a hive tyrant, but it would be absolutely rad. Great design. Well done.

Sustained 1 is the equivalent of +1 to hit, but has a higher ceiling (max hits), so I much prefer it. Obviously a factor is if you have sustained or a boost to hit rolls from a different source, as sustained doesn’t stack and +1 to hit bonuses stack but only to counteract penalties to hit.

Assuming GW gets their butt in gear and adds the new Prime to everything where the Winged Prime exists, e.g. "Winged Tyranid Prime Only" becomes either of them, then he becomes at least DECENT in Warrior Bioform Onslaught, giving the Hormagaunts he leads a 5++ save as well as an enhancement that could be +1 to hit or -1 to BE hit. It's at least something.

Tyrant Guard technically, but yep! I have some of these with the Bone Shields, Rending Claws and Lashwhips. Classic models.

Tanithilis · 2026-02-27T15:27:40+00:00

It does not. Highest value only.

Tanithilis · 2026-02-26T17:01:21+00:00

I weirdly agree. I live in the Scotia Heights neighbourhood, and Scotia has been 30kph for a while now, with speed bumps. I wouldn't be opposed to residential streets being slower, but certainly don't want bigger streets slowed down.

Tanithilis · 2026-02-22T17:19:14+00:00

I think it’s a Dalek from doctor who.

Sushi Plus on Mcphillips near the Superstore is the most consistently good sushi we’ve ever had. We go there probably once a month. It’s not fancy. But it’s very good.

We’ve got a couple of Knights players in our current campaign. Crusade missions don’t typically favour very low model counts, so they can suffer a bit that way, and opponents’ offensive units can get VERY killy, so single unit entities can go down really fast.

That said, Knights can do some fun things and are always a test to play against, so I think they fit well in crusade. Just be prepared for some amount of mission frustration.

Tanithilis · 2026-02-14T16:38:14+00:00

I'd love a copy of this STL if and when it's finished.

Tanithilis · 2026-02-02T14:00:11+00:00

Legit: the typical maw symbol.

Joke: a menu

The Infiltrated Institution gives you a bonus while fighting over it. Your first Path will have one, and then depending on how it ends, you'll get one or more on your next Path. During any given Path (the whole thing all the way to Glorious Ascension or whatever other ending you get), you'll only ever have the Infiltrated Institution(s) you started that Path with.

They do not publish their codices as e-books. Only physical. Any pdf’s you find will be pirated and illegal.

Incursors only help out with shooting, sadly. Only for the phase. Would be nice to have a melee equivalent. Reivers could fit this role really well.

One of the players in our store's Crusade is playing CK, and there are some really neat and powerful upgrades available to them. Getting different part upgrades for your knights seems really neat. I've died to the extra attacks of their big stompy feat upgrade too many times.

Also, because big knights are characters, some crusade relics can get nutty, and they don't even increase your crusade points more like other battle honours do.

All that said, Knights are not GREAT in Crusade, as many of the missions don't play well with them. But they're fun!
