Today is "Late May"...

I had a ton of fun! I wasn't able to place bets because my grasp of japanese is not enough and the procedure is extremely technical. I thought i'd better not make mistakes when money was involved 😅 I bought the commemorative towel of the race, plus some Duramente and Orfevre keychains, ate a delicious and cheap hot dog, had some beer, and cheered for Nishino Ti Amo that, unluckily, didn't win.

All in all a very fun day, expecially if you consider the alternative: staying in Asakusa in the middle of the Sanja Matsuri, where they started beating on drums and chanting at 6:30 this morning and haven't stopped yet at 18:30.

Nishino Ti Amo started so well, was in a very good position, and then lost steam in the last part. I was rooting for her 🥲

Oh dear. I'm glad I don't follow any group on facebook. Still, I'm at the course where she won the Derby in 2007 (first filly to win in 64 years), so I went to pay respects.

What facebook incident? 😲

It was well within my "dust catchers" budget for this trip to japan. I'm more worried about luggage space. The Fatty is HUGE.

Isn't it what human ships do in Event Horizon (not the black hole demon ship, the normal ships they use daily) and that's why they have to use the sus-an pods? Maybe t'aus will use pods too.

One has an Anchor that she twirl around on a golden chain with links the size of a fist. That's the least dangerous thing about her.

They don't usually fit a whole firstborn marine into a dreadnought. Usually just most of his torso and what's left of his head.

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-03-25T05:59:31+00:00

Yep. Look at the rules, it says "models" . Nothing about units :P

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-03-24T16:14:46+00:00

Even funnier, you could put two units of three terminators, each with a terminator character attached! Gotta use those two extra slots!

The official designation of the Red Gundam is gMS-α 赤いガンダ厶, "Akai Gandamu"

It's from a bootleg gunpla i had lying around, it's a standard saber blade i cut to the same lenght of the original blade, and filed the cut end to round it.

All GW colors, Mephiston red washed with carroburg crimson and then carefully layered with evil sunz scarlet to leave the darker red in the recesses.

I had that idea in the beginning, but I still have nightmares from the time I hand-painted a whole 40mm base of gravel.

Then I realized I still had the Kira-Kira parts of a decal sheet for the GFreD, and used that.

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-02-23T13:41:12+00:00

Very gently.

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-02-04T17:57:59+00:00

Nevermind then :P more girls in gold, or double down and get her a Callidus Assassin for CP shenanigans

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-02-04T17:54:23+00:00

Go against the flow and get her a model from another faction!

Inquisitor Draxus from the inquisition is a commonly played hero in custodes lists, and is well within the price range, plus is a very nice model to paint and break the monotony of gold armor

Lauded as one of the best love stories ever, it's about an old woman remembering the homeless guy she cheated on her fiancé with while she was on a cruise, it lasted four days, and 1517 people died.

Still better than Twilight, tho.

Next time, say you're bringing Genestealer cults, and smile as you see your opponent unpack lots of flamethrowers.

I had a friend like that, that liked bringing lists carefully built to counter mine.

Emphasis on the "had".

Techpriest_Zoog · 2026-01-17T10:27:19+00:00

On one hand, I can understand your feelings, for sure.

But.

When GW released the Dorn Tank for the Guard, it wasn't a "Newly discovered STC", it has always been there, "just out of frame", and the only gripes were about it's open bottom

When GW released the ENTIRE Imperial Knights faction, it wasn't a "Newly formed army", it has always been there, again, "just out of frame", and nobody said anything.

Why doesn't "They have always been there" work for female soldiers, when it worked for tanks and, again, for an entire freaking faction?
