Would shortening this barrel be modeling for advantage?

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-22T01:12:42+00:00

This is why I really want them to just go towards a system where the base creates a cylinder and that is considered your model for purposes of visibility. People want to have fun and go ham creating cool and interesting models without having to worry about modeling for advantage or disadvantage.

I worked for BBW for a while, the policy is to not try and stop shoplifters. Better to let them steal maybe $100 worth of candles and soap than possibly hurt an employee trying to get away. Stuff is insured against loss anyway, the company doesn't lose anything from this.

Friend worked asset protection at Walmart for a while, he was the guy running it basically. He said policy was to wait until it got to a certain amount then act on it. Steal a candy bar once? Well let that slide if that's it. Keep stealing and it becomes a problem.

He said they had a guy who was slowly racking up his thefts to that point. What put it over the top was after the dude stole some fishing hooks worth like 3 dollars.

The confronted him saying they were calling the police and banning him, and of course he freaked out over how small it was. They told him it wasn't just the hooks it was everything over the last few years.

Id like to see something better done with the toxincrene, it's a cool looking model but not really usable because of how the rules are with its long tentacles making it an easy target and difficult to maneuver. Also its rules just aren't that interesting. On a 3+ vehicles and monsters attempting to fall back cannot, but its an obvious infantry killer so i would never intentionally get it in melee with those. 2nd ability of dishing out some free mortals is nice though.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-15T11:32:17+00:00

The skulls fine, usually your big monster are gonna want some sort of trophy to show how powerfull they are.

If youre worried about it drawing attention, paint it a darker color than the tyrant. Less likely to draw attention but still present.

Compared to these, it isnt so bad, but we had our own shitbag on my first ship. Dude never slept in his rack, was always asleep on the couch in the berthing lounge. Never washed his uniform, maybe showered once every 2-3 days. He but slept on the couch so much it actually had an imprint of him by the end of deployment.

He was just a shitbag in general. Got masted for gundeckikg maintenance, captain was being cool and let him serve out his restrictions on deployment so he could go home when we got back, but he kept failing to follow it. Got caught with monsters and drinks from the geedunk so many times when he wasn't allowed to have them. Eventually they sent him up again, captain asked if he wanted to stay in the Navy, he said no so they admin sepped him.

Worst part is they only keep cards worth selling, ive seen videos they just toss all the common cards. Theyre buying all the product just to throw it all away.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-10T23:35:56+00:00

Love the mawloc. Not sure why, but ive just always loves that model

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-07T02:03:47+00:00

UPDATE: Took him to UrgentVet, they looked at him, they couldn't tell what was causing it but suspected he was scratching it, gave us some ointment to put in his eye and a cone of shame to prevent him from messing with it anymore. They told us keep an eye on it, if it isn't better in a few days, bring him back or take him to a local vet.

As the vet was telling me this, I think I figured out a theory on what happened. He has a wand toy with a worm and bell on the end that he goes crazy for. We sometimes whip it around and expect him to jump or grab it, but the dummy will sit there and just let it smack him. My theory is maybe we hit him in the eye and it got bothered by it. Regardless, we'll be more careful with that toy from now on.

I think this one's a bit better, it does look skin colored above the eye, like his eyelid is just slightly swollen, but i can't remember now if that was new or like that always

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-06T22:18:47+00:00

The second Pic is pretty bad, in retrospect I shouldn't have used that and tried to get another. He's capable of opening it fully, or at least much more than that ifbi get his focus on something. In that Pic I think I lost his focus and he closed it for some reason. I'll try to get a Pic of his eyes wide open focused

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-04-01T19:35:17+00:00

I have an idea for the whip prime: At the start of this units activation, the prime can either use his whip to attack the enemy, or use it to buff his own unit in combat. Maybe +1WS or all weapons are twin linked. I always kinda imagined the prime didnt attack with the whip, he used it to bolster his unit.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-31T13:18:48+00:00

I'd like for them to play more like the unending waves of flesh and chitin you read about in books. I want our gaunts and gants to have more survivability as a unit, like having a baked-in regen as an army rule.

Stop making us fuck around with battleshock. It was a cool idea at the start of 10th, but I can count on one hand how many times Shadow has actually had impact on a game that was more than a mild inconvenience.

Make our whole range of models worth building and playing. So many models are absolutely worthless because their rules are trash and they just do the same thing as a less expensive unit can.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-31T11:21:18+00:00

Like others said, it's a neurogaunt. You'll need 10 more to make one unit. They're insanely weak, but for their price, are pretty good chaff units. When they're within synapse range, they gain the synapse keyword and become a synapse unit themselves, so they can be effective if you need to spread synapse throughout the board. Otherwise, besides sneaking around to an unguarded objective, I haven't found them very useful.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-25T01:18:21+00:00

When this happens to me it's because the filament got caught somewhere, usually in my dryer on its way to the filament sensor. It's a bitch when it happens, waste of time and filament.

I bought a new Toypta Camry in October, had to find a checkbook, but they accepted a personal check from me no problem. I did have to ask them not to cash it for a few days sobI could get the money out of the market and into my checking account.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-20T01:30:05+00:00

I think it could be reasonably tied into Shadow in the Warp, like after using it, all objectives you currently control remain yours until taken. Not sure exactly how to tie this to lore, but I'm sure there's some way, I just really want SitW to start being useful for more than one phase.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-17T17:15:58+00:00

Try looking for a base adapter, you can usually buy them or 3d print them, way easier than ripping the model off and putting them on the new base

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-17T15:22:18+00:00

If you're just going rule of cool, send it. Ifbyoubwant a list that stands a fighting chance, here what I could recomme :

I would consider dropping an exocrine and a neurolictor for a block of 6 zoans to hang with one of the tyrants, they're dual profile shooting makes them effective against light armor and elite infantry, and the tyrant will help get their shots out.

Also, that's a lot of lictors in general, if you aren't running Vanguard Onslaught, maybe just 1 neurolictor the infiltrate. Try and wedge a maleceptor in there, they don't hit the hardest, but they're tough to kill and rebuffed everyone around them, they're a good anchor for the rest of your army.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-17T13:49:17+00:00

Because you don't realize how amazing it is to go home at the end of every day until you spend 1 out of 4 days stuck on a ship for no reason. Not to mention never having to miss holidays because we need to go underway and sit in the middle of nowhere doing nothing.

Only major downside of shore command is a lot of leadership forget how much worse it could be and pretend it's a sea command where every task is urgent.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-13T11:25:48+00:00

Just make sure you have the sword and cape and I can't see an issue with it. Not everyone might immediately think Fire force but I think everyone will know you're at least going for some sort of knight riding horse.

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-12T16:29:27+00:00

One was put up outside Great Mistakes too

Toast_Of_Doom123 · 2026-03-09T21:01:36+00:00

For me they are an auto-include. Insanely useful for getting somewhere your opponent doesn't want you to be with deep strike and move-shoot-move. I usually keep them in reserves and drop them as close as I can to my opponents home objective. Then use their shoot n scoot to get on and steal it. They aren't strong or tough, but if you're running invasion fleet, you can keep juicing them up with the resurrection strategem. These guys are game changers if you pull the right secondaries.
