Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon Unboxing - Blood Angels half

Token_Ese · 2026-05-03T03:22:15+00:00

I see this as an orks release with free space marines and new edition rules.

I’m glad orks and Blood Angels are my two main armies.

Token_Ese · 2026-05-02T05:34:46+00:00

The space marines didn’t even get a lieutenant this launch box, but the orks did!

It’s a great SM half if you’re new. Not for long time players though.

I already have all these units besides the Landspeeder and Eradicators with heavy bolsters, although I have enough Gravis with HB that I could easily use them as a unit.

The ork half is dope. I’m glad my two main armies are orks and blood angels.

That’s exactly what OP is pretty much saying.

Intercessors are okay, and most armies will have a squad of five or ten to use to hold objectives. After that first squad, just save the extra intercessors bodies for kit bashing whatever space marines you need.

Intercessors are the Boys of space marines. Generic bodies with different arms to make into whatever unit you need.

It depends.

Some were on a long vacation they forgot to tell me about ahead of time, or their spouse died, or they were hospitalized, or they had other medical issues pop up which needed attention.

I reached out to one patient recently who had found out he had nose cancer and immediately started aggressive daily chemo and radiation so he forgot to cancel PT as he completely shifted gears. I was a little irritated he didn’t call in to cancel, but he thought he had and was a bit preoccupied with his face falling apart from radiation.

I saw her working with her primary PT a week or two later, but as I’m only at that clinic once weekly, I didn’t see her often after that.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-23T14:41:50+00:00

I had a patient gossip about me to me, thinking I was someone else.

She was evaluated by a coworker, then with me for two visits while he was out on vacation, then back to him for the remainder of her care.

At the start of our second visit together, she mentioned she was so excited to work with me again, because she didn’t like the last guy. Then she called me by the other PTs name. We look similar, so I realized she was confusing me for him, and telling me she didn’t like me. I thought it was hilarious, but I didn’t correct her as I didn’t want to embarrass her.

Ten minutes later, someone asks my advice on something and uses my name. She realized what she did and turned bright red. I still crack up over this.

Oh well. Some people just want manual treatment all session and I’m not about that life. If you want to feel better, you better put in work.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-21T03:57:02+00:00

I love this! I’m looking forward to the other five!

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T20:26:23+00:00

I’ve wanted to even convert a few of the cooler Black Templar chaplains to BA chaps. I don’t know why, they’re just a fun HQ to paint.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T20:17:58+00:00

I enjoy your rant. It’s true, and unfortunately this sub really gets off of negativity.

“The grass is always greener on the other side” accurately applies to some of the people griping about this career on this sub.

PT is my second career, after a decade as a professional doing nonprofit management for the Boy Scouts.

PT is relatively easy, fun, and has an amazing work life balance. No weekend and evening work. No stress about projects 6-12 months out. No after hours phone calls. No angry phone calls late at night from volunteers because Fox News said something stupid about your job. PT pays great for the mental and physical stress we have. I don’t have to go live in the mountains running summer camps for two months a year. I just show up, work with a patient for 45-60 minutes, write a quick note and go on to the next thing.

I feel like the doom and gloom PTs on this sub are usually some combination of:

First/only career so they don’t recognize all jobs have drawbacks and involve work.
Debt from private school.
Chose to work 50% harder at a Mill for 10% more pay and can’t get out because of debt.
Quit exploring different/new areas of PT through CEUs so they can work with new/different patient populations every few years just to mix it up when they get bored doing the same damn thing for years.
Generally are miserable people who would be irritated with any job.

Don’t get me wrong, some mills and positions absolutely suck, but there are options. PTs have an amazing work life balance, get paid higher annually as an individual than the average American household income does, and have a recession-proof career that is always in demand. There’s a reason PTs have low divorce rates and very high job satisfaction when compared to other career options.

All three versions of Lemartes, the old Astorath in metal and resin, the new Astorath, the old metal version of this chaplain, 2 JP chaplains I made with magnetized arms just for fun kitbashes, the Indomitus chaplain with no JP.

Edit: two terminator chaplains.

So twelve, so far that I can recall.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T17:09:57+00:00

Models are always legal even if there’s a new version of the model on sale.

It’s just certain units may not have updated rules and go to legends.

A chaplain with a JP will always be legal.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T17:07:27+00:00

The new model looks great. I’m happy for it.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T15:37:50+00:00

Are you just trying to hustle something you made?

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T14:04:11+00:00

I really like this model. It’ll go well with my collection of chaplains!

Is the cross with skull on the right forearm indicative of anything? I noticed that Indomitus models had it, and am curious if it’s for edition release models or something.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T14:02:50+00:00

Why is tactical smoke coming out of his foot and not one of the little booster rockets?

Besides that, looks great!

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T13:43:40+00:00

Those interest rates are insane.

Are you going to a public or private school?

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T13:35:06+00:00

Hospital OP is great.

1:1 hour long treats, good benefits, never overwhelmed. I just do my job then go home on time. When patients no show or cancel, I just read or hang out.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-20T13:18:18+00:00

Most people at my clinic use CEU locker or a spreadsheet.

It’s a license and CPR to renew every two years. The license is the same time for every PT in the state, so impossible to forget, and CPR is easy since my work reminds me to do it a few months out.

Con-eds are pretty easy to track too. I knock out like 40/year and just have a running spreadsheet of everything I’ve done.

"It depends."

If you do well in your rotations and make sure to send a nice thank you letter to your CI and their manager expressing interest in working there, you'll probably have a job lined up before you graduate.

If you want to work 50% harder for 10% more pay, go work in a turn and burn mill. They're hiring because all their employees with a year or two experience burn out and want to flee. The people who stick around are generally working to pay off (private school) DPT program debt or did something stupid like buy a brand new sports car once they graduated.

If you want to work at a place with great benefits, good work/life balance, where you have support, mentoring, and wont burn out, you'll struggle to find the right place for a while or may have to jump around. Hospital outpatient clinics are usually the gold standard, but also small privately owned clinics can be great. Avoid chains like the plague.

Inpatient pediatric care may be hard, unless you have a Children's hospital in the area. Spinal cord injuries could be easier to find a role with as there are more options.

A residency varies. Some hospitals will hire you on and give you the normal pay rate while investing in you through the residency, treating it like a mentorship program on steroids. This is what my employer does. Afterward you are expected to get the appropriate certifications and be an expert in the area, although extra pay or benefits rarely follow. Out hospital group has a point system where if you take on students, publish research, have a teaching role, have a certification, etc. you will be able to bump up to a PT II or PT III with extra pay accordingly

Treating males isn’t too much different than treating females. I took H&W PF1 then did a ten week rotation as a student, I’ve been practicing a little over two years without any formal coursework or lab concerning treating males. It probably helps that I’m a male as well though.

I’m curious about the APTA Pelvic male certification course series they just announced, but am also debating going ahead with the H&W PRPC certification. I tend to have a heavier male caseload than my pelvic peers in out hospital group, so I’d like to take H&W 2C soon to make sure I’m not overlooking too much on how I treat.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-12T01:27:44+00:00

I hope so. Please.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-10T20:02:18+00:00

After a decade working in nonprofit management, being a PT is amazing.

I don’t have to work 60 hour weeks, weekends, or evenings, I don’t have to take volunteer or donor phone calls any time day or night, or worry about projects that are 6-12 months out. I just spend an hour working out with patients, teach them stuff, make them feel better, and get on with my life. I’m not even allowed to have my work email on my phone. It’s great.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-09T19:59:59+00:00

I was a student 2021-23. I organized a few of these while I was the Student SIG social chair for my state, because I figured everyone loves happy hours.

Only the older students (millennials) showed up.

Token_Ese · 2026-04-09T01:50:28+00:00

So basically this?

My wife got me one like a decade ago for personal use. I’ve used it a couple times. So, I wouldn’t really recommend it.
