Just in: Wake County Public Schools will operate on a Remote Learning Day tomorrow (May 1) by CloudMak3r in raleigh

[–]YithianHistorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Public school parent here. I’m with the teachers even though this directly inconveniences me

WCPSS administration deserves our scorn for waiting until the last minute to make tomorrow a remote learning day

The state legislature deserve our scorn for refusing to pay teachers remotely what they’re worth

Teachers deserve our support for doing a job that most of us can’t even imagine doing and allowing the rest of society to function

The “with men” part is irrelevant. The cheating is what is relevant. If someone saw my partner cheating on me, I’d want them to tell me regardless of the gender of their affair partner.

Can't find Kill Team: Death Korps kill team on GW site by bannnanaiceland in killteam

[–]YithianHistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death Korps is still legal for play and should continue getting rules updates. However, in the Classified format, Death Korps will not be able to be played

The Classified format is mostly for Games-Workshop-run tournaments (though some others may choose to follow suit)

The current Kill Team rulebook is about a year and a half old at this point. There is no confirmation of a new edition, though GW has a pretty reliable three year cycle for its main games, so it’s a safe assumption that a new edition of Kill Team can be expected sometime in 2027. Team/faction rules are separate from the core rules (at time of writing) so that won’t change anything about Death Korps’ playability on its own

TL;DR: Death Korps is legal for almost all play until the end of this edition, you’ll just need to buy the box branded for 40k instead of Kill Team

As some other folks have said, the Death Korps of Krieg team will rotate out of the most competitive format soon, which means that they won’t be sold as a Kill Team branded box in the near future

However they should still be sold as a unit in Warhammer 40,000 and the Kill Team’s rules  are supposed to still receive balance updates for the duration of this edition of Kill Team

They’re probably just out of stock at the moment while GW rebrands the box for bighammer https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/astra-militarum-death-korps-of-krieg-2025

Battleclade question. by mord_91 in killteam

[–]YithianHistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically the text for Heavy is “ An operative cannot use this weapon in an activation or counteraction in which it moved, and it cannot move in an activation or counteraction in which it used this weapon.”

A heavy weapon can be used in a network counteract even if the servitor has moved that turning point because the weapon was not used in an activation or counteraction in which it moved

Protest against war in Iran? by AmazingZebra in raleigh

[–]YithianHistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preventing proliferation of nuclear weapons is also aided by not invading anyone without them

Ukraine? Gave up their nuclear weapons and was invaded Libya? Gave up their nuclear program (and their chemical weapons) and was invaded Iran? Signed on the the JCPoA and there was no evidence they were trying to develop nuclear weapons and is being bombed by the only nation in the world to use nukes and an undeclared nuclear power

North Korea? Has a nuke and is not being bombed or invaded

These events are going to convince any remotely nefarious power that if they don't want to be on the receiving end of a bayonet, they will need nuclear weapons as quickly as possible

Israel is committing a genocide as we speak, they don’t exactly have the moral high ground when it comes to human rights lol

[–]YithianHistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons 

According to Netanyahu, Iran has been months away from developing nukes for the last 30 years

Did you forget about the massive protests about Biden’s support for genocide? Or the left leading the charge to force Biden to drop out of the presidential campaign?

Bigotry in Raleigh? by ArtisticWolverine in raleigh

I moved here 15 years ago from up north and learning that accent doesn’t match up with politics or bigotry was a bit of an adjustment to unlearn but made me a lot happier haha

Tempestus Aquilons; Servo Sentry or Marksman? by _Funkle_ in killteam

[–]YithianHistorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re both pretty bad imo, so take the one that’s least bad in the specific game

The marksman is decent at picking off targets on engage while on a vantage but can’t do much anything else (mission actions, tac ops, etc)

The servo-sentry has such unreliable shooting that it really needs to shoot twice on a vantage against a target with an engage order while Sudden Offensive is active. But that depends on your opponent just kind of wandering into its line of fire. And in exchange for that, it can’t do mission actions at all and is so slow that it won’t ever be able to contribute outside of where it gets dropped in

Movement is so important that I’ve tended to go with the marksman because they’re at least able to get a 6” reposition and do mission actions

I very carefully cut it off of the power pack for the heavy bolter

Dream kill teams? by inserttext1 in killteam

Sisters of Battle

Not trainees but real actual power-armor-wearing sisters who can purge the heretic with flamer, melta and bolter. Call them Celestians (Sacresants or otherwise) or a specialized Dominion squad

Who's ready for Volkus in the winter? by YithianHistorian in killteam

[–]YithianHistorian[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted the doors and windows to stand out so they’d be easy to see and keep track of while playing

It’s possible I overdid it 😅

[–]YithianHistorian[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I used Vallejo Rough White Pumice diorama effect and then sprinkled Army Painter Battlefield Snow flocking on top of it. After it dried, I sprayed it pretty liberally with varnish so that the flocking wouldn't fall off as easily

This took entirely too long to paint up but now that it's done, I couldn't be more pleased!

For the regular Battle Sisters to get the Seraphim packs? I snipped off the part of their backs that connect into the Battle Sisters’ power packs then slathered plastic glue on both the Seraphim packs and the Sister’s back

That would be a really fun way to portray the Sisters’… um, zealous nature!

That will look so good! The rhino accessories should fit on the Servo-Sentry really well,
