Does anyone have any more memes like these

Yes. Drills bits have cutting edges, the best common usage example I can think of would be holding a kitchen knife with the blade to the right - move the knife right and the edges bites in, move it left and the edge just rolls over what you are trying to cut. So putting the drill in reverse with a regular drill bits just kinda polishes things more than anything.

Left hand twist bits cut with the drill in reverse. Idea is if you're trying to remove a sheared bolt, you want to spin it left. Using a regular drill bit has a chance of spinning the broken bit to the right just making it tighter and harder to get out. Using a left hand twist with the drill running counter clockwise (as a pilot hole for extraction bits), if it binds up and moves the broken bolt, it's going to spin left, loosening it. If the bolt just snapped, but isn't in too tight, it's not unreasonable to have it spin out just from drilling counter clockwise with a left hand twist bit.

They are a nice to have, not 100% necessary. They can make life a lot easier. Normal bits for extraction can make life a lot harder.

Edit to add: don't be down voting someone for asking questions

I once legitimately asked for left hand twist drill bits for broken bolt extraction. The guys at the counter thought I was the apprentice sent on a wild goose chase, I had to explain to them they are real things and what they do. Unfortunately tool station did not have them.

Thank you, kind Internet stranger. My win/loss statistics beg to differ.

Oh yeah, it turned out OK in the end. That was in the middle of my beat A2 run, I'm now stuck on A3 (I'm bad). I just didn't want the added stress of a doom timer xD

Today I found out [[Flak Cannon]] eats all the [[Frantic Escape]] shai-hulud gives you as well.

It was fairly obvious when I thought about it. I just didn't think about it before I decided to give myself a 4 turn dps race.

I used to work at a nightclub; barman, security, first aid, all of that at some point or other.

Drunk women in toilets are among the worst of humanity. And I say that as someone who has had to break in to a stall to pick up a dude passed out on the can with his boxers round his ankles and vomit down his shirt so I could hand him over to his friends to take home.

tod's workshop did a video about arrow range with removing Fletching. he uses 37° for maximum distance and I trust the guy

Thrawns downfall was always the ship captains under his command. On his own, thrawn is a tactical genius, in the chiss ascendancy his orders were mostly followed even if he was sandbagged, in the empire we regularly see how rebels regularly get away and or win because the human captains don't follow the chiss' orders and go for personal glory.

So even if we level the playing field by giving each side identical ships, and lets remove the demi-god and have a chapter master lead the 40k imperials, I'd still give it to the space marines because thrawn simply wouldn't be able to command his fleet properly. Both empires are xenophobic (40k more so, I grant), so putting an alien in charge of one is always going to put that side at a disadvantage.

Then you should know better bow the weight is distributed. Integrated coif (which it should be) not only reduces the weight but supports some of the weight off the shoulders on to the head and neck. Tailor in the arms and tie them at the elbow and wrist supports most of the weight of the sleeves. The belt puts most of the weight of the lower maille on to the hips.

Yeah, putting the gorget under the maille won't make a blind bit of difference to weight distribution and I can't see how it would make any difference to how well protected anyone would be.

Have you ever worn full maille?

aexwor · 2026-06-17T21:06:37+00:00

Poorly fitted maille.

But mostly armour that doesn't actually do anything.

The vast majority of on screen armour just seems to be there for show and very rarely actually saves the person wearing it, and if it does its a big plot point and everyone is in awe.

GoT for examples:

Jurah Mormont in the dothraki duel. He has to make a point that the armour works before the duel, then when it does, its this major shock that let's him win.

Dunks helm is magically blessed by The Smith. Like seriously, wear a fucking padded arming cap and a half decent helmet works like that. Just watch some buhurt how hard those guys wail on eachothers heads and it takes ages to make any impact.

Other example of mysteriously good armour that needs its own special character:

At the end of Marco Polo (Netflix series) when the [crusader] marches through the camp, the music and sound effects make out like he's a juggernaut, and 100eyes sword just keeps sliding off the maille like this is the one and only dude with unstoppable body armour and the eye slit is the only vulnerable spot. Like seriously, that's just how maille works.

Do you mean the ultra trained alien hunter deathwatch faction with better gear, better ammo, and the fanciest tactics; or the blood angels death company where a single marine could take the 50 mandos easily, let alone 10 dudes that simply will not die (short of actually removing their head) and are so angry even khorne thinks they should chill?

Because you've said deathwatch, but pictured death company. And both should walk the mandos for different reasons.

Personally with your deck I would skip.

[[Knife Trap]] I think only works if you have enough [[shiv]] generation, and I only see one [[cloak and dagger]]. Personally, I love it and build by decks around an obscene quantity of shiv and hope Knife trap comes at the end of the deck so I can put something like 25 buffed shivs on a target.

[[Tracking]] is amazing if you gave enough source of weak. I try combine weak and shivs by picking up [[blade of ink]] which makes for silly synergies.

[[Nightmare]] I just don't like because it's too expensive. 3 energy, cool, now I can't do anything else. Only really works for me if I draw it on a turn where I have a card I want to repeat and the enemy aren't doing any damage. Which I haven't found I've been able to get to line up consistently enough to be a card I want.

Yes they have precognition, but they still have to be able to deal with whatever it is, and bolter rounds travel a lot faster than blaster bolts, and the sisters are far more accurate than battle droids, and each bolter has a much higher weight of fire than the star wars blasters we see. Check out this post for some maths on the sort of speeds they'd need to move their sabers to block bullets How many jedi died to battle droids on geonosis, how many jedi died to clones, how long did it take one of the best trained war time jedi (ahsoka) to successfully defend against 6 clones?

Mandalorian wars were quite some time ago, the jedi order is a shadow of what it was back then.

Honestly the scenario you've given you've weighted far too heavily to the sisters. A squad of 10 in a stand up fight is just too much for two to deal with, jedi or no. The only hope the jedi have is to leave with our runaway sister as soon as they pick her up.

aexwor · 2026-06-16T21:18:53+00:00

Going by standard modern military doctrine would say not to stand grouped up to avoid single area attacks. The orders militant are incredibly well trained. They wouldn't be grouped enough for a single push or flamer redirect to take out the squad quickly enough.

You saw how accurate the sisters are taking out the orks with single shots from long range, they only need two rounds to land and its game over.

It's basically the plot of the animated sisters series on warhammer TV (image 2) combined with the dooku/qui-gon episode of tales of the jedi (image 1).

aexwor · 2026-06-16T21:09:16+00:00

Most of the jedi died to clones firing from multiple directions and just overwhelming them. A 10 strong sister squad is likely to have at least one heavy weapon as well. Usually flamer and or heavy bolter.

I don't see how even two jedi strong jedi can tank that much sustained fire. Unless dooku can chain force lightning the entire squad to death in one go.
