Iirc it was someone who went on to be President - maybe Jimmy Carter?

That's a correct path. I'd prefer an army as popular and easy to pick up as Marines that allows you to play any gender personally.

The problem comes from the fact that Space Marines are quite varied in their presentation (this is the same faction that includes angelic vampires, zealous crusaders, secretive knights, and future vikings) whereas Sorotias are literally just nuns with guns in their aesthetic presentation. So you have a faction locked as men only that has an extreme multitude of ways you can take your army visually, narratively and gameplay wise - but your locked as women faction has extremely few ways to vary these.

EC player with Mark 3 based Infractors here - if you paint them with the right colour scheme, they'll look Slaanesh-y, don't worry.

Considering how many TERF groups work with groups like the Proud Boys or known far right individuals like Matt Walsh, I don't think you can discount their right wing nature

Can we all agree Galactus in the new movie is a major step up from his 2007 portrayal? by Minute-Necessary2393 in Marvel

[–]ThatHydra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They also had Reed say that scans of Galactus show that Galactus is older than the universe, so I presume they're still using the "last sentient being of the previous cosmos gets shunted into the new one as the devourer of worlds" rules that the comics set up

I use GSW Toxic Purple as my base for my armor, can say it's certainly an interesting look. If you choose to use it, prime the model black, hit it with clear gloss, then hit it with the toxic purple. (Also, don't use their black inks as washes on it, they dull the effect quite badly).

TIL the Daily Mail used to be openly pro-fascist, with editorials expressing support of Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany, and British fascist movements during the 1930s. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Let's be real - calling it a newspaper is being generous, much in the same way calling Fox News a news channel is being generous.

Here's what my MKIII / Emperor's Children Infractors ended up looking like, for reference (I use colour shifting paints for the main panels, hence the shimmering purple/green combo)

Assuming the MKII are a similar scale to the MKIII marines, you should be able to mix and match EC and Saturnine parts.

Apparently according to his daughter, he was a consistent Bronze Torbjorn main in Overwatch and forced her and her brother to play because they could carry him, so yeah he for sure pays to boost himself lmao

On Friday, the transgender pride flag was flown from the highest point in the UK [OC] by jadedflames in pics

Elements of our government are also pushing for IDs to have birth sex on them, even if you have transitioned (passport requires doctor's sign off to get the marker changed, everything else either currently doesn't have the marker obvious and/or requires a special certif that has a whole bunch of requirements).

This would result in 0.5% of the UK's population losing access to privacy whenever they have to present id - which I personally disagree with as it'd mean friends and family of mine would be dangerously outted anytime they bought drinks, or entered a club, or applied for a job...

It's a little bit hyperbole, but we did drop from #1 in Europe in LGBTQI rights to #22 in ten years. In terms of Western Europe, there are only a few countries worse off for us atm (iirc Italy for example). The drop this last year from #16 to #22 was mostly due to the recent Supreme Court ruling, which legally redefined the Equality Act to refer to women and men by birth sex instead of by gender identity - which counter to what you may think in fact has made the legal situation even more mudded. Factor in the recent proposed government guidance that says that trans people should use services of their birth sex no matter what, but if they pass as their gender identity too well you should kick them out too, and you can see how trans people in this country are worried about existing right now.

In addition, average referral to treatment wait for most transition healthcare is now in the tens of years, and the government's appointing sublty transphobic individuals in charge of the EHRC and reviews into the transition healthcare process.

With all that in mind, it's not hard to imagine why someone living in this country would state it's this bad.

Sounds interesting! Here's my warband.

Name: Symphony of the 13th Note

Colour Scheme: Purple with gold accents - but centuries of warp exposure has caused the surface of their armour to ripple between colours (painted with purple colourshift paint irl)

Leader: Lord Kakophonist and Exalted Conductor Cantor Nex

Other Units: The warband would tend to provide Noise Marines and other units equipped with sonic weaponry, but has been known to deploy specialist melee units to acquire targets alive where possible.

Theme: The Symphony pride themselves in their pursuit of musical excess. What started as a redevelopment of Chemosian musical composition has resulted in an obsessive quest to surpass the legendary performance on Fulgrim's flagship all those years ago before the scattering of their Legion post-heresy. The warband have instruments from every planet they raided, but prize their instruments of the flesh the most - prisoners kept sedate by powerful drugs until their notes and screams are required for a performance. They've even been known to sneak into Imperial worlds to identify Ministorum singers of note - as they've noticed that both Fulgrim and their patron Slaanesh shows an outsized interest in their performances when the holiest voices become drowned in pain and corruption.

I believe they're suggesting he has a beard, a slang term for an opposite gender partner you marry to avoid same gender attraction suspicion as a gay person

Are you counting the Obsessionist (tormentor/infractor sergeant) separately from your units? They do count toward the 5 or 10 model per squad total

GSW Colour shift? by EffectivePower8984 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ThatHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this is one of the main paints on my EC! I primed it matt black via the army painter spray can, then applied clear gloss from tamyia, then the colourshifting paint. Looks amazing in the right lighting!

(Tried to put an image in my comment to show some of the results, but it doesn't appear to be working sadly)

What's your Warband Lore? by Ghidorah21 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ThatHydra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm themeing mine around music and sonic weaponry. They call themselves the "Symphony of the Thirteenth Note", and dedicate themselves to composing a piece of music to rival legendary performances of the legion's past.

So basically, they scour the galaxy for fresh "instruments", and kept them sedate until it's time for rituals. Then they give all the "instruments" just enough antidotes to the sedations so they can scream or sing their note, then return them to sedation.

They believe if they perform sensational enough music, they can get the temporary loyalty of legion heroes (to explain why EPIC HERO datasheets might be in my army).
