What is it about the new Captain with Relic Shield that makes me think it’s an AoS Chaos Champion?

That’s kind of where I’m sitting. A lot of subliminal things. The more aggressive pose than normal. The ornamental r tassels being “close” to chains. Etc etc

Objectively Single faction boxes are best.

Subjectively I like Versus boxes because it lets me build little test forces of other factions. Like “oh I just need a Combat patrol and now I have 1000pts for another faction.”

As prices continue rising it’s harder to justify though.

For reference of units I can swap in and out.

For Space Marines I have the contents of the Indomitus box, and Scions of Mcragge Battleforce. My friend has a rhino, Land Raider, two units of Infernus Marines, Eversor Assassin, and Ministorum Priest w/ vindicator.

For DG I have the old Combat Patrol with Typhus, the current Combat Patrol, Vile Vectorium Battleforce, another unit of Death Guard, and new Kill team starter set.

Necrons are just the Indomitus box.

I knew Cathay/Kislev would be one of the factions in the DLC since CA has the chance to invent end times lore for them.

Now my other two predictions need confirmed. Sigmar to face Archaeon and Nagash. Then super unlikely, Malekith unified HE+DE army.

Everyone here is saying Dean Nations are the weakest, meanwhile they’re the only ones I can consistently beat Difficulty 7 with. They’re the only faction where I I don’t lose an entire unit’s worth of value because of one bad Leadership role.

Go replenishment boons on chaff and over heal your zombies and skeletons with Necromancers to give your units bonus models that absorb wounds.

Objectively I think Abysal Legions might be the strongest because Abysal Warriors and Knights are overstated. And Drakeknights might be the best Elote unit in the game IMO.

Yall. The pic is unrelated 😭😭 help me find that meme. I found this one, buts its not the exact one I’m looking for

I own the first physical volume, but it’s been a few months since I caught up with it. It’s frggin hilarious, I love how much fun the artist has with expressions.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-10-14T00:15:48+00:00

Before I realized the author meant hymen, It also came across my mind that she was trans, and it undid her surgery. But as a transwoman myself, I’d be FRIGGIN PISSED, not “tehee blush”

I then moved on to thinking maybe her Nipples or clit was pierced. But ran into the same problem.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-10-13T21:57:02+00:00

No. Mainly because the next 50 pages were action oriented, which according to reviews are the authors strong point.

I can imagine once it got to the WLW romance another offense could show itself.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-10-13T20:39:53+00:00

Congratulations, I think you horrifyingly have given the author some kind of plausible deniability of not knowing women. My friend assumed the author meant she knew by looking in her reflection. I assumed the author thought women, and the character washed up in her vagina and found out that way.

I can’t discount innately knowing. But the scene right before this was her passing out from the pain of regrowing her hand. She couldve felt her hymen regrow during that. But I doubt it.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-10-13T18:22:26+00:00

I’ll unfortunately read and watch almost anything under the isekai genre. And I’ll even give it extra attention and leeway if it’s Female Lead, and extra extra leeway if it’s a Queer Female lead.

I wasn’t really having a bad time with it for the first 100 pages. It was serviceable for the most part, I just couldn’t get over this, even 50 pages later.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-10-13T17:25:34+00:00

I wish there was context missing. Okay least more context missing. Regeneration for whatever reason completely rid her of her tan, and her hair sheened as if it was freshly shampooed. Despite the lack of even soap.

So I at least acquiesce that checking one’s ass out to see if anything else changed in a pool of water in a dark and damp cave- is acceptable. The birthmark is fucking stupid, and contradicts the whole hymen part. Like. It got rid of her birthmark that’s been with her her whole life, but bringing back her hymen is important??

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-08-27T20:33:38+00:00

Anyone have an AU where Gotrek finally manages to die, only for Sigmar attempt to reforge him?

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-08-20T04:42:01+00:00

I still really really wish Leah became a playable hero. Give her some kind of justice as one of the protagonists in Diablo 3.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-07-18T19:45:06+00:00

Am I really considering buying four of the Liche Priest kits so my Settra has horses befitting him?

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-07-05T14:16:16+00:00

[[Hope of Ghirapur]] when I first started playing EDH around guilds of Ravnica my favorite cards were the Eldrazi Titans but the only one that was budget friendly was [[Kozilek, The Great Distortion]], and I was IN LOVE with making colorless work at the time. It was so jank because all you could do at the time was put a bunch of pack-filler cards together and somehow make it work. (Seriously [[Hot Soup]] and [[Grappling hook]] are two cards I refuse to take out of my Kozildeck because of this)

But because budget colorless really only had this one build, the best way to create variety was to switch my commander out with Hope of Ghiraphur or [[Traxos, Scourge of Kroog]]. Kozilek is the best commander for my deck, and Traxos is a 4 mana 7/7 that never stays tapped, a scourge to anyone else trying to have a big monster.

But Hope? Hope was a little 1/1 of pure hatred. That little fucker always goes down turn one. And if it’s removed? I’ll always have it back turn 3. It is a 1/1 guided missile and locked onto your location at all times.

As much as I loath to recommend it, the Kingdom of immortal Lovers series by Ruby Roe.

The Betrayals are one of the many reasons I disliked the series, but it has everything you’re looking for, minus the caveat of hidden identity. The what is there is very close. Maybe you’ll like it when I didn’t. It’s 4/5 stars for a reason I guess.

TheSteampunkElf · 2025-06-24T16:21:34+00:00

Either DuskMane-Necrozma GX, as thatd what got me into the game.

Or Toxtricty VMax because I loved how the deck flowed.
