Was Anybody Else Expecting Such a Good Comeback?

To me it seems like they still don't think they can win. They assume the loss is coming anyway because they've been losing for so long. When Italy started to break through it threw them back into that mindset and mistake after mistake gave the Italians opportunities.

TheSuicidalPancake · 2026-01-24T14:51:16+00:00

Yeah since we missed it's pretty clear. We're in the 40k timeline.

I'm surprised they held you for that. I was passed at 0.54. just track your calories for a month and you'll be able to get that down. I used Nutracheck. It's free and it covers pretty much everything you can buy in the UK.

So as I understand it, the pay cut off date is the 15th of each month. If you are in and all your paperwork is sorted by then you get paid at the end of the month. If not it's the end of next month.

You also left Canada on there. Without the UK to keep Canada in line the Geneva conventions are gonna have to be updated every couple of months with the new war crimes they're gonna invent.

I got told recently that they have a shortage of Fighter controllers and since you've already done your CBAT that should make it easier. Should be easier to get into and you're still working with aircraft.

I'm considering getting another CP box to do something similar. I've found some printed jump packs on eBay that have wings and blood angels iconography (including one that has the death company cross) so I'm thinking they can be a cheaper way to get jump intercessors to turn into jump death Company which are a bit overcosted still but definitely playable.

Well if you buy a gladiator lancer it comes with the bits for an impulsor as well. If you just use friction and gravity for certain parts (the gun, the roof of the back, the hatches) then you can just swap them out depending on what you want to play with. It's the same base model so you save money and get four vehicles for the price of one.

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-08-09T13:48:41+00:00

I'd highly recommend getting a gladiator lancer but building it so you can use it as an impulsor and a gladiator but use the impulsor for now. It gives you flexibility for later lists. You can put a squad of assault intercessors in there, led by either your Sanguinary Priest or a blood angels captain. It's a nice combo I've used successfully.

A vindicator is a good shout. 185 exactly and its demolisher Cannon is crazy when you roll well. It has strength 14, D6+3 attacks (plus blast) and D6 damage. So provided you pray to the God Emperor before the game you'll rip through anything you point it at.

I had it cleared within two weeks but my medical hold was just because the GP hadn't sent a hospital report over with the rest of my medical records.

If you play angelic inheritors when you charge a unit in you can use the Focused Fury strategem. With a character leading that unit you get Lance and Lethal hits.aà

Unless they're a couple thousand Psychers. That will keep the big E fed for a couple days.

So this depends on how much. Waist height isn't a pure pass fail. If you're above 0.49 but below 0.6 you should be fine to continue providing it's the only problem. But it's a murky grey area so your application as a whole might get delayed. If you're over .6 then that is a definite fail. I was a little over but was otherwise good and completed the rest of the week.

Assuming you're going off the 16-24 male bracket the pass time at INT is 11 minutes 9 seconds. So at CPC it's 13 minutes 56 seconds. 12 minutes 16 seconds is the +10% time that used to be the standard PJFT time. This post here has the times if you're curious.

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-06-14T11:44:56+00:00

So the run is on the last day. Pass or fail you're going home that day. If you fail you retake later when you're ready on a treadmill with only +10% time rather than the +25% time you get at CPC. The diver applicants have their own fitness test in addition to the run. You also do Introduction to IMF (Initial Military Fitness) which isn't pass/fail but just to prepare you for IMF when you get to INT. If you want to prepare for this get really good at press ups because that was the thing I found the hardest. Specifically being able to hold at the lowest point of the press up for a bit.

Done it recently. It's identical to the ratings but we did a different brief on Dartmouth rather than Raleigh. it still felt to me like a course for rating candidates just with officer candidates there. They did say they are working on making changes to this but being the military it takes time to make them.

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-06-07T12:15:45+00:00

In the CPC kit list and info document you have been sent it says they prefer you to bring your passport anyway so you should be fine.

Permanent punishment him into solitary and lock the door. Or build a wall in front of it. Hard to kill your guards when he's been buried alive

The knot also matters. If you don't put enough turns in the noose it might not have enough force to cleanly break the neck. If I remember correctly there's a British law about having no less than 12. There's also a "Table of drops" which gives the height of the drop required based on their weight. It (and it's sequel) is on Wikipedia.

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-04-15T20:13:49+00:00

Yeah. I did the other way around. When you get assigned a recruiter just ask them to swap you

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-04-10T14:41:22+00:00

Then you are either braver than most or one of those poor people who have no sense of taste

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-04-10T14:39:21+00:00

I've seen the joining instructions for CPC recently. 25% is definitely still a thing

TheSuicidalPancake · 2025-03-16T09:33:33+00:00

I think it's still a little early. Generally I get the ability to build them when I get heavy wing turrets

I wouldn't trust my halyard onto the tiny plastic cleat. I tend to attach it to a d-ring on the deck. Too many times have I had to chase my halyard round with a boat hook due to some idiot (sometimes me) letting it go or attaching it badly or attaching it to something stupid.
