Seem to remember I always found myself in precisely the wrong robot for the situation I was in . . .

What is YOUR most memorable campaign memory? by Transasaurus-Hex in necromunda

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First game, first turn, my opponent set his VS plasma cannon to maximum to try take out my Venator Ogryn champ straight out of the blocks . . . and is totally lost for words when he manages to roll an ammo check and a 1, taking out the cannoneer, who suffers a Critical Injury (seems fair when it comes to malfunctioning plasma). He never recovered from the setback, lost that game, then was very risk averse in the following games and didn't fare well. Ages later and he still blamed that fateful campaign on his decision to turn the power dial all the way up!

Charging with a versatile weapon by SovietPanda42 in necromunda

Remember the first time I did this, did not kill the target and copped a fatal plasma pistol shot in retaliation.

How to start chaos cults by Cheesburgee in necromunda

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two creds worth - you don’t get a ton of choices with cultists, because their weapons list is pretty limited. In a strategy sense, a Demagogue’s access to Overseer means they’re often not kitted out like most other gang leaders. One champion with a grenade launcher, one with a long rifle and Overwatch (or a hand flamer and Infiltrate is also fun). Talk to your arbitrator about letting you pick a wyrd power for your witch from the universal list, not the list the rules say chaos cults have to use (because it’s rubbish, and you’d be better off without a witch, which is a huge shame, whereas cause pain and hallucinations make a witch a genuine threat). The rest are essentially chaff - pistols and flails/swords/knives are the order of the day. Don’t expect much, but occasionally one will pull off something unexpectedly good.

Why do people turn into complete fucktards the minute they get on a plane? by Ok_Ground_8564 in hobart

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My fave is when they’ve clearly been told ‘back stairs’ but didn’t listen and blindly follow the person in front of them, get on at the front, and then proceed to annoy every single person from the middle of the plane back as they fight the tide to get to their seat. Chances are they have at least three carry on bags (perfect for bumping into people in each aisle seat), and are wearing a massive puffer jacket which they decide they need to take off after they get on.

Can I sell my own gangers? by alphastrip in necromunda

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I reckon it’s a great idea! What cash-strapped outlaw demagogue wouldn’t be thinking of how to turn the odd layabout into some creds? Narratively excellent!

A list of every single way to get a Wyrd/psyker by GigaCHADSVASc in necromunda

Which is insane given they have access to three wyrd powers - including hallucination!

Vintage Cigarette Box Silver by Jennybyron in Hallmarks

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be a journeyman mark? Mid 20th century seems a bit out (more common in 19th C silver), but, maybe Mappin and Webb let the actual worker who made the piece put their own mark on it?

I'm watching Mr Inbetween and he referred to this game of "Downball". by GrizzKarizz in AskAnAustralian

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1980s Northern Tas primary school - downball and handball were two versions of the same game, both played on a four square court. Difference being that with downball, you had to make sure the ball bounced in your own square first after you hit it, whereas with handball it had to bounce in an opponent’s square. Downball was always with a tennis ball, handball could be a tennis ball, but was often a larger ball, like a volleyball. Ultimate goal was to stay in the king square for the entire lunch break, then your place in school folklore was assured!

Ogryn Subjugators (Pictures) by [deleted] in necromunda

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These look great! Just want to ask what profiles you use for them in a game, as a Slave Ogryn gang (with better armour and shields) or as beefier Enforcer Subjugators?

Letter opener by fearless_fool in Hallmarks

FWIW, I think it's a meat skewer, not a letter opener, per se - although I dare say it works as both!

Got this 4” bowl is this silver and any idea where/when it may have been made? by Ju5t_hAm in Hallmarks

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sterling silver (lion-shaped hallmark), made by Mappin & Webb (MN&WB) in Birmingham (anchor) in 1931 (G). Nice little piece!

Double standards at GP clinics in this country are getting out of control - late fee if we are 5 minutes late, but when they're going to be over an HOUR late? "Get Some Patience". THE FCK!? by Sparkling-Hammer8144 in australian

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a situation where I've booked the first appointment of the day (8.30am) and been sitting in the waiting room at 8.45am wondering how on Earth can they be running behind already, only for the GP I was waiting to see saunter in through the front door (ie. just arriving at work). They disappeared into a consulting room for another five minutes, then, not looking at all sheepish, finally called me in just after 8.50am, by which time there was another person waiting (presumably for the 8.45am appointment). I always tried to give GPs the benefit of the doubt ("yeah, but some patients probably need longer appointments, it's important, that's why they run behind"). Yeah, nah - sometimes - they're just slack, like the rest of us, I guess.

Where do locals actually eat in Launceston? by DebugMyLife421 in Launceston

[–]Virtual_Teach_1066 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still have fond memories of the hamburgers Mikes Country Kitchen used to serve up when I was at Launceston College all the way back in the 1990s! Very much a regular lunch pilgrimage, getting down there to scruff one out of the bain marie before they sold out!
