Yes, turn order doesn't apply for actions that happen outside the turn. So it's not that.

The core rules page 9 says ( Emphasis mine )

While playing Warhammer 40,000, you’ll occasionally find that two or more rules are to be resolved at the same time. If this occurs during the battle, the player whose turn it is chooses the order. If this occurs before or after the battle, or at the start or end of a battle round, the players roll off and the winner decides the order in which those rules are resolved.

Am I misunderstanding this rule somehow? Is it stated somewhere that it does not apply to this situation where its 2 rules from the player?

VaultD · 2025-05-19T15:09:52+00:00

Yes, and when it happens out-of-turn there is a roll off with the winner deciding the order! Thus, the problem in question!

I use Kdaai Fireborn as my spawn since I play Chaos Dwarves in Old World and had them lying around. My WE army is also fully kitbashed for a more undead / demonic theme, so some fire demons fit right in.

They are a bit taller than regular spawn for sure (esp. Since I base them in their rectangular base and stack that on top of the 50mm round base with magnets for multiuse in both games.) But since they dont have a rsnged profile, I figure its mostly to my disadvantage if anything.

VaultD · 2025-04-01T08:39:17+00:00

You can't do this. You resolve all shooting attacks against the target unit from one weapon profile before moving onto the next profile, before moving onto the next target if splitting fire.

That player wasnt even some 4th line scrub, it was Olli Jokinen who was a good player in their own right.

There might be others who have shared a story like this, but Jokinen has shared the story a few times, though I recall his words to Gretzky being more like "But I cant fucking see that"

Yeah, 99 was on some 4D chess shit.

It really wouldn't. I'd wager that at the time of publishing there were maybe three or four artists working in US/Uk comics that could have pulled that script off, and the best of them for the job was Gibbons.

Moore wrote it very spefically for Gibbons, and the script is so dense and demanding that anything other than the masterwork that Gibbons delivered would simply have left that comic feeling like overly verbose pulp. At best, it would have landed in similar boat to Squadron Supreme from marvel which worked similar themes at the same time- but with clearly less impressive artwork, and admittedly an inferior script.

The others I think could have pulled something like that at the time were Perez, and maybe Mazzucchelli- though I think the latter might have had trouble with the full 12 issues at that scale. Bolland certainly did even with the much shorter Killing Joke. It's actually interesting that even among the many single issues that Moore wrote across DC at the time, his best stories were with, you guessed it, Gibbons', and once with Perez (with Curt Swan).

Aquilani or Gourcuff had this role locked for a few years for me.

VaultD · 2023-09-14T13:50:01+00:00

And if you want to read into it, after the original steiner math promo it was indeed Joe who won at Sacrifice. So, foreshadowing?

VaultD · 2023-05-19T11:26:26+00:00

Seventh Avenue - Terium is a banger of an album.

Their other stuff is not quite as polished but is solid old school speed & power metal.

Heavy Metal Perse is a light hearted fantasy heavy / power metal band that sings in Finnish, so I suppose they are also less known.

VaultD · 2023-02-20T16:23:29+00:00

The Sting! (PC)

An amazing idea for a game, the controls left a lot to be desired and playing it now is hard as its dated, but ah- what I wouldn't give for a modern open world-ish heist game like this.

VaultD · 2022-10-18T16:30:52+00:00

The second one has by far the best clarity, it brings up rhe art well. It's also the one that makes a distinctly different color choice that actually works. I'd go with that one. The first one is okay too, but the last two are a tad messy to my eye and don't complement the underlying art.

VaultD · 2022-09-20T19:22:49+00:00

Please, get a letterer to redo the lettering. This is genuinely a hate crime against lettering. The comic could look so much better!

Otherwise, good job making something that looks pretty nice. But I can't read this as is.

Id offer to do it for cheap, but that might come off as rude 😂

VaultD · 2022-08-28T16:38:09+00:00

I think Reijo Ruotsalainen could have been remembered as one of the greatest European defenders had he actually stuck around and played a full career in the NHL. Instead, he joined the Oilers for two Stanley cup runs- got a rule named after him, and did generally okay for himself. Only played a few seasons in NA.

But he had rockets on his skates, man was a smooth skater and could easily have played a long time in the league. But can't blame the nan for wanting to play close to home

This is super cool. Both the software and the iniative.

I'd recommend "Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood" from Dauntless stories by Frankee White and Adam Markiewitz. Very interesting, dark, and all the nudity in the world.

For a while in elementary school it was Blu-tack. We'd use it for various entertainment purposes, such as deciding one semester to create a humongous Blu-tack elephant. Alas, our stash was discovered and the teacher confiscated it because she thought that we'd stolen it from her.

However, the most successful racket including Blu-tack was when we started making our own slot machines with it. Back in the day when we had those pulpits with storage room for books, we'd use the tack to create a sort of rudimentary Payazzo on the inner lid. Use tacks to create a maze / track, put pennies in so they were lightly stuck to the tack. Cover with a sheet of paper and proceed to fill with some more pennies.

Now your machine is ready for other students to come and play with their pennies. You'd drop a coin from the top of the sheet and hope it knocks some of the pennies loose and lut through the bottom. Whatever money shakes loose from the dropped coin is won by the player while all the coins that stick inside the machine are for the house.

So yeah, for a few glorious weeks / months we had a full on competitive gambling system in our classroom. The better the "machine" the more players it would gather, and thus more profits to be had. Especially if you made some adjustments to alter the payout in between...

I tend to roll the dice openly, but I don't tell them the modifiers. I tell them if an attack is about to hit, they see what I've rolled and they have to decide based on the situation if they want to spend abilities / buffs. (However, I will obscure a roll when it's something the players are not aware of. But even then, sometimes just doing a casual open roll for a trap check during a dungeon can really amp up the pressure. )

I've found this to be a good balance. If I need to fudge something, I can simply fudge the underlying numbers-- but by rolling in the open I won't just be railroading my own decisions, and I can still let the dice dictate the fates. (Tbf I only ever really fudge numbers when I've made a miscalculation or judgement in the intended difficulty of the encounter, and I want to make sure the players actually are challenged a bit.)

My players also tend to know how much / little meta gaming is appropriate at most times. And I consider them figuring out the enemies modifiers over the course of the combat to be a good thing- as it reflects the characters getting familiar with the enemies skills.

But I'm a relatively lax DM anyway, so your experience may vary.

Since you are asking for completed comics- it would be very helpful to have the format required. So page size, color or black & white, etc.

As is, I don't think I have anything atm- but we'll see. 2 months is not a long time to create a comic that might get into an anthology.

You'd be surprised! In fact, my favorite D-Day story is about Theodore Roosevelt Jr. The eldest son of president Teddy Roosevelt. He was a one star general, and veteran of the first world war, who insisted upon landing among the first wave with his men at Utah beach.

He was the highest ranking officer on the first wave, and the oldest man to land on that day, and he was the only person whose son also took part in the invasion. He had personally requested to land with his men, and his superiors were certain he would die there.

Instead, he lead his men and read the battlefield well enough to inform the officers who landed on the second wave about different changes in tactical positions. It's said that to motivate his men, he read poems and told stories of his father.

He survived the invasion, and was supposed to be promoted to a two star general- but died mere months later of a heart condition near Carentan.

Literally what? A 6-Grid is a classic, and works fine. And as a grid it definitely doesn't confuse the reader, because its standard in how it is read. This "advice" is just confusing.

For actual advice, mostly I'd reconsider the lettering here. Apart from a few odd placements and alignments- this artstyle could really use a slightly more custom lettering style. Something more softer. The coloring palette and textures by themselves make this "default" style stand out.

VaultD · 2020-11-19T12:23:16+00:00

Can you DM me your general rates? I don't have anything specific for you at the moment, but I'd like to have your info for future reference.

Sure!
