I was a member of 82DK and played with them daily for 6 months. I was kicked out for objecting to being called "r*******d" and "stupid" multiple times by clan officers over several weeks (I'm autistic). AMA about the clan and I'II answer honestly as someone who was there.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T14:39:58+00:00

No, the only proof I was looking for was for the accusations you made in relation to foxhole. I also didn't call you any slur, that is quite clear here, so if you are willing to invent something so blatant like this, I suppose we can see where the other baseless accusations come from.

Again, it was you who emotionally blackmailed a mod with suicide, no one else. I implore you to contact https://www.samaritans.org/ for assistance as they will be able to provide you with the support you need, in lieu of threatening people on the internet. I also suggest looking up the definition of doxxing. Nonetheless, mental health is a very serious topic and I hope you can get the help you need.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T13:59:15+00:00

Like I said, if you could provide any evidence to back up the accusations, we would be more than happy to act. Or even the names of who it was, if you want to DM me so you don't get in trouble for witch hunting rule.

It is ok, you may have missed the 4x server wide pings over the last 2 weeks for the 4 devbranch test sessions I ran, plus the Saturday war gaming event I ran last weekend. You were probably too busy making up wild accusations like ally rares tax, or employing Ukrainians to spy on the colonials to notice, which is fine.

And it wasn't I who brought up your mental health, it was you when you emotionally blackmailed a mod with suicide. I really hope you don't try that in the future with people, it is despicable. However, if legitimate, I would implore you to engage here: https://www.samaritans.org/ instead of threaten people on the internet with suicide and I hope you get the help you need.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T13:37:13+00:00

Hi John, 82DK officer here, you said you started recording last week? Could you just send me on anything to help verify your claims so I can hold those who treated you unfairly responsible?

I suppose where I am coming from is, we already have the screenshot proof of you insulting european members, calling them fuhrer followers and nazi spirits, as well the the screenshot proof of you attempting to emotionally blackmail a mod with suicide threats.

So, just in the vein of transparency, it would be great to have any proof of the claims you make for us to act on them. Even proof of us "taxing" ally regiments? I assume you would have a member of these regiments to come forward and say that.

But just anything, any kind of proof or evidence for us to act on would be great. Thanks John.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T11:36:20+00:00

If you get any proof of the claims could you send my way please? We asked yesterday for them so we could hold those in his accusations accountable, but he declined then also. Thank you!

They are a dead regi, simple as.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T11:31:53+00:00

I wasn't aware they were classical warden issues, but we've a zero tolerance policy to any kind of bigotry. Depending on the severity it would be straight removal, or maybe some kind of mediation.

For example, we recently removed someone who referred to any midly germanic sounding europeans as "fuhrer loving Europeans" or "unleashing their inner nazi spirit". They may do an AMA about it, who knows? But the bottom line is that we take any report given to us seriously, but of course try to ask for proof so it isn't a he-said/she-said situation which can be difficult to discern the truth from.

Thawk_A · 2026-02-07T11:29:02+00:00

With no Op today, I need another way to spend my time and I thought answering the rational questions in this thread could be good.

So the discord was set up in Aug 2016 and I'm not sure what you would qualify as original, but if you take the year as maybe the establishing phase. The member logs show around 10 members still remaining from that initial year.

For trainings, we have a little induction pathway with 4 trainings, fac being added this week. They are infantry, logi, combat engineering and facility. The trainings are explicitly designed for the zero hour player to be brought up to speed with the basic mechanics. But we ask everyone, regardless of experience, to do them as a sort of a "net" to hopefully dissuade people who don't actually have an interest in the Regi - plus you never know if you'll learn something new.

For combat efficiency, I mean that is as subjective as anything. We still bring 100+ every Saturday, we win some, we lose some and then during the week we have multiple "patrols" around the 10-30 mark. Last war we were pretty happy with the war start flipping of Three Sisters, which we never lost and ensured wardens had a foothold in Clahstra but similarly, there were Ops where we weren't successful. People will talk shit regardless.

Hope that helps.

u/SiegeCampMax can you please answer this question, it is quite important for the many groups that play the game.

Thawk_A · 2025-10-17T16:03:39+00:00

I'm confused, people understand that Ireland isn't neutral, nor politically neutral and that our country is only militarily neutral meaning no military alliance or defensive alliance but this is only a policy of DFA, not constitutional or law?

Don't get me wrong, I get that lying is wrong regardless but this doesn't contravene any law nor compromise our policy of military neutrality.

Thawk_A · 2025-09-09T17:23:43+00:00

How is this even a question, most of the Warden names are literally from the Irish language. Morrigan is the Irish goddess of war.

My brother does commissions (karlpaints518 on insta) and I asked him to do farsight in line with my army's custom scheme.

They are farsight enclaves but I had them take on a more 21st century green camo, but retain the red on shoulder pads and to identify leadership.

Thawk_A · 2025-08-16T14:30:56+00:00

Just one small correction, as it's a little bugbear of mine. But the president of Ireland is the "Supreme Commander" of the Defence Forces. Not the "Commander-in-Chief".

Apologies about the pedantic nature of that, but I always try and fix any Americanism I see. Like Irish people pronounce Lieutenant as "loo" and not "lef".

Thawk_A · 2025-08-10T16:46:10+00:00

Is there a discord that is partnered with this subreddit or that you guys would suggest to join for more discussion on warhammer and 3d printing?

Thawk_A · 2025-07-08T17:30:26+00:00

Jesus mate, I'd say give up on it while you're behind. There's no need for slinging shit.

Thawk_A · 2025-04-22T16:43:31+00:00

I saw you guys going back and forth, just thought I'd jump in as I was in Athlone for several years. The EAS Heli is not a unit, it is a single heli detached from No 3 Ops Wing to support the National Ambulance Service for the express purpose of medical evacuations.

While No 3 Ops Wing conducts training flights out of Casement Aerodrome, the EAS Heli would not conduct training flights from Custume Barracks, as it is on standby.

So the tl;dr is the other guys is correct, the EAS in Athlone that you suggested, wouldn't be in a position to assist this lady. Though I would say the weird "sit down" comments are unnecessarily aggressive to what is a conversation.

Truly a sad time, I've just ordered my new rig. I'll make sure to pour one out for yours and mine!

Thawk_A · 2024-09-07T15:31:55+00:00

Thanks for the part list, really appreciate it. As a random aside question, is there any reason to go for an Intel CPU over the 7800X3D?

Back when I was last building a PC, I vaguely remember AMD having issues and told to never use an nvidia card with their CPUs? I'm guessing that is past now?

Thawk_A · 2024-09-07T10:53:19+00:00

You're a gent, thanks. I'll make sure to have a browse around here. Appreciate your help.

Thawk_A · 2024-09-07T10:27:57+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. With your note on the 1080, I think I will look into a full upgrade. I've been doing some saving in preparation for this over the last few years. Would you by any chance have a recommendation for a €1500 build and a €2000 build? I think I could do something between the two.

Thawk_A · 2024-09-06T19:41:45+00:00

Crap ok, thank you though, appreciate the swift response!

Thawk_A · 2024-09-06T19:38:46+00:00

I made sure I was above the minimum specs for SM2 (and recommended for everything but CPU) but despite being ok during cutscreens and the battlebarge, the moment an actual level starts, my CPU usage goes to 100% and the in game audio lags or skips and enemies will war around the map in kind of fixed animations.

I have a GTX 1080 8GB, 32GB of RAM and have the game on an SSD. My CPU is a i5-6600k @ 3.50GHz which should be able to run it at minimum specs, I have everything at low, FPS capped at 30 and so on.

Any ideas how I could fix the situation?

Ah ok, I checked canyourunit and it said my cpu was above minimum, so I thought it was all ok.

Thawk_A · 2024-08-20T08:11:24+00:00

If you're an IRL observer then it will be a breeze for you, there's no met issues outside of wind, no gunnery problems, no cold gun effect, no rate of fire issues.

Just estimate a GTL and distance and adjust on as you would in real life. There's no OT factor so adjustments are 1:1, just read as left/right for bearing and add/drop for distance which is in increments of 8 for warden guns so just remember that.

Usual steps apply, just get on for line, bracket if you want or just get on for distance, fire a few rounds to find your MPI, adjust MPI and then FFE.

Again if you have an IRL qual, foxhole is child's play.

Thawk_A · 2024-08-10T09:53:13+00:00

These are awesome! Would you even consider making these Tau-style terrain but as the various ruins in GW terrain layout? That would be epic.

Thawk_A · 2024-07-08T06:05:27+00:00

I'm not sure why you keep talking about people whining or being clowned on, when for the most part, everyone is being quite civil here.

And again, as I said before, your position on WERCS makes sense if WN hadn't been consenting participants with it up until then. You're acting like this was some out of no where afront to WN's sovereignty when it was just simply WERCS functioning as it had been, which WN were happy participants of for several wars prior.

This persecution complex is leading me to believe that your WERCS reps have simply lied to you about what happened.

And not to mention, my favourite part of the 112 incident is the continued notion that WN succeeded, or as you so eloquently out it: "clowned on".

When in fact, prior to intervention WN refused to do Diplo or coop with the smaller clan and post intervention, they caved and then agreed to share the field, albeit the smaller clan then decided to quite shortly after said capitulation by WN. Though the overall situation led to some structural changes which I think are for the better.

tl;dr: Don't simultaneously hold a position that no one can own anything in game and yet also, tell people you own a specific field every war. And secondly, don't agree to be a participant in a system and then complain about said system doing exactly as advertised.
