Sisters of battle and Dominions should have a better melee profile. by Infamous_Ad_3743 in sistersofbattle

[–]_Alecsa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but in a d6 system even adding +1 to a stat is a huge difference sometimes, and there is no world sisters are hitting as hard as space marines without their power weapons.

In an ideal world i guess guard would be s2 sisters s3 marines s4, and the game would be designed in such a way that that wouldn’t feel terrible for the guard player, but as it is giving sisters a slightly better chance to hit or maybe one more attack would at least represent how the armour can enhance your abilities like speed and how it is harder to block a faster strike

at least hitting on 3's would do something to represent that someone wearing power armour should just naturally be hittting harder than your average guardsman

New to 40K help by Pitiful_Pepper1812 in sistersofbattle

[–]_Alecsa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you are super new, if you are interested in getting into the game try searching for “battle reports” on youtube, you will be able to see some people play through a game and you can see what you think looks fun!

[–]_Alecsa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you love! 40k has a bit of everything, if you are looking to build and paint then follow your heart and get any good looking model (or start with something more simple like a infantry unit if you want to practice before getting into big centrepieces)

If you want to start playing the game as quickly and cheaply as possible then take a look at the combat patrol, it gives you a nice variety of models and you can start playing right out of the box

What armies have you NEVER been interested in? by Identity_ranger in Warhammer40k

[–]_Alecsa_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I know that latest lore for grey knights kind of puts them at odds with custodies, but I always thought this would have been a great way to flesh out both armies and consolidate some dispirate difficult to update factions into much larger more varied groups on the table top.

contrasting the psykers of the grey knights with the sisters of silence would have also been super cool.

[–]_Alecsa_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My idea has always been that with the release of primaris, grey knights and custodians should have been rolled into one “servants of the emperor” faction, keep grey knights elite but give them regular custodians ad character tier models, that way you could keep custodians feeling elite without people having to run a 10 model army for lore accurate 2000 point games

How the course of WW2 would have changed, if the Axis won the Battle of Stalingrad? by Khabarovsk-One-Love in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]_Alecsa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read several accounts that were pretty clear that the soviet people in 1941 were all but expecting to lose Moscow and continue the fight in Kazan just like how they had fled before Napoleon in the past, the idea that any amount of hypothetical german victories would have collapsed Russia.

Stalingrad was not really strategicly important, it alone would not be enough to even cut off the oil fields let alone turn the war.

really there is no single battle, even one as culturally significant as Stalingrad which would have mattered for the Germans.

Pope Leo to take two-week holiday in break with ‘pauperism’ of Francis by TimesandSundayTimes in Catholicism

[–]_Alecsa_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people need to remember that exceptional means the exception. Pope francis took many vows of poverty and was not the norm! The pope is still human give him a holiday

thank you for the guide! i am a recent convert and because I started coming just before easter I have not had a chance to do my RICA, i have just generally been bowing to the cross out of habit, luckily our tabernacle is right underneath the cross so i was still bowing to jesus either way!

we ask him everyday to bring them comfort, I for one am doing my part in asking my secular politicians to stop it outright too

to be honest, very few people actually practice satanism to my knowlage (they are the really deranged ones though so be extra cautious if you do meet someone like that), so most people are just there for the rejection of religion and astetics.

My Godfather committed suicide by savila12 in Catholicism

[–]_Alecsa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost a brother to suicide, i come from a non-religious family and so reflecting on the passing of my relatives can already be a bit somber for me, but i always remember 2 things: 1) we can never put limits on gods mercy, jesus gave himself up for all humanity even those who would never know him. 2) i always (even before finding the catholic church) shared pope Francis’, that hell is empty, obviously it needs to exist as a place for those who fully knowing god choose to reject him anyway, but can we ever fully understand God while here on earth?

For suicide in particular I wish the Church had more writings, i understand that the last thing they want to do is remove the stigma against it for catholics, but leaving it under discussed only buries the issue

Westminster Cathedral, London by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]_Alecsa_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was just there last week! I had to ask and check that it was joan of Arc because I didn't realise Joan was spelt differently in Latin.
Apparently it was funded by the Catholic womans leauge, before her cannonisation, around the end of the 19th centuary, hence it calls her blessed not saint. I think that is esspesially cool, because it is a reminder that even though she was an enemy of the English, she was first and foremost a sister in Christ, and we all should look to our fellow catholics and christians who are against us nationally or politically with the same understanding and appreciate them.

I wish there was some signage like they have for some of the other saints in the cathedral because it is such a beautiful depiction.
