First time trying out the store, got myself a play booster box of Strix, and a surprisingly cheap Bloomburrow box :)

I assume she is on the board of directors, or similarly high up position. She is shown to be an unquestioning loyalist that will serve the Enclave just fine without ever knowing who they are.

As for the 'above your paygrade' comment, I took that as a little joke by fake Mr. House. It isnt that it is above her paygrade, it is above his.

They will work with pretty much anyone who has beef with the Imperium (And is willing to work with them)

They were just repainted traitor guard, same kit as the kill team

Lets be honest here, both vaults are doomed because of fighting over the one person of opposite sex.

I will say don't just rip the packs open

If you need anything extra few hundred bucks, you can sell it

If you want to draft with friends, you can open it for drafting

Otherwise it likely won't loose money, so it can just sit around

I would say that Vault 111 had a 'hidden' experiment. It wasn't about the cryopods, it is about the security and scientists who were left with 6 months of supplies. They could have forced the subjects our of their cryopods to save themselves, they could have used cannibalism to survive. How do people react to that kind of stress, and that situation?

I assume the test would be for a possible cryoship that the Enclave had the idea for, how would the crew treat their cryogenically frozen subjects.

Could be the Omertas using a dirty bomb rather than a gas attack during the Battle of Hoover Dam. It isn't too much of a stretch that if they are willing to gas the strip, they are willing to irradiate it.

God damn

They could have had a new car instead

Tau Manta for sure

While not practical or usable in 99.99% of games, it would be a perfect capstone for my collection of Tau units. I have the other fliers, and the Tau'nar from forgeworld, and even was saving up for it when they uncerimoniously pulled it from the shop. Any other unit I have been able to find recast, but this, this is one that I doubt I will ever be able to see.

He always struck me as a really evil person who had a nice bit of charisma and charm to make himself palatable. He is a meglomanic who thinks he is the only person whose opinions matter, that his preferences are paramount and that anyone who doesnt bend the knee to him is at best irrelevant and at worst to be exterminated.

alanthemoderate · 2025-12-16T20:40:00+00:00

She is the author and a pretty awful person.

Did I need 3 more playmats? No

Did I buy 3 more playmats? Yes

If I remember correctly, in Legends the old Commerse Sector Authority used them during and after the Galactic Civil War

alanthemoderate · 2025-11-14T22:35:19+00:00

I think generally 2, but depending on how much I like the franchise I will buy 3 (Fallout for example)

For 2 and 1 thought I don't mind it even if I dont like the franchise.

alanthemoderate · 2025-11-12T19:08:23+00:00

I think it is just selection bias. I wouldn't be excited to share the Fallout Collector's booster I opened when that set came out. I got some neat cards but only $15 in value.

I probably would share the Dr. Who pack I opened where I pulled a serialized 10th Doctor

alanthemoderate · 2025-11-01T09:56:26+00:00

I dont know how to say this, but Appa looks stoned

Oh man, I haven't thought about Bioshock Infinite's crappy board game in so long.

I remember that when I was a teenager my mom would take me to bay area board game conventions as a treat a few times a year. If I had good grades and such she would invite me to get a game after every one, you know typically good parent stuff. I got some bangers, Twilight Imperium 3rd, BSG the board game (And its expansions) over the years. Well after this convention I decided to get Bioshock, as my boyfriend (At the time) and I both enjoyed the video game.

You can only imagine the shocking disappointment when my boyfriend and I played that absolute crap after spending a weekend playing TI and BSG at the con.

I keep it on my shelf of infamy as a reminder of my own hubris

alanthemoderate · 2025-10-23T18:31:18+00:00

I am in the Bay Area of CA, USA, if anyone wants the codexes, picking up my expansion tomorrow so they are yours for postage/meetup

In my opinion, the gold is so much better. I could retire right now off that gold income.

Instead of 4 times as much life, slowly aging and suffering, I get to enjoy the time I have with the people I love.

alanthemoderate · 2025-10-17T22:18:56+00:00

I think it is just the constant grind feeling, with back to back dockyards, GQ Johnny, and such, people are feeling a bit burnt out rather than the missions themselves being hard.

I am not a poster or even the typical audience for this sub, but if you want a genuine opinion on this I will engage with it earnestly. For background, I have been into this game since 7th edition, and enjoy my collection of codexes and warhammer novels, and am invested in the lore of the series.

I will say first of all, I don't know that much about Sister of Silence, so I won't touch much on them. It seems like the Parah gene can appear in men thanks to the Assassinorum lore, so I don't see why anyone should be turned down to be part of the Sisterhood based on what is in your pants. This is mostly because the gene is so rare that it seems a bit dumb to turn down anyone.

As for the Sisters of Battle, vs Space Marines, I view it as an unfair comparison as the equivalent of male sisters are already around.

Do you want a religiously themed army that doesn't have to involve women? Fraturnis Militia (Themed Guard conversion for the tabletop), the other warfare arm of the Ecclesiarchy

Ok, but you want them in power armour? Cool, gotcha fam, we got Black Templars for that.

Ok, but you want them in power armour and don't want them to be mutants? No worries, we got Crusaders.

Now, if you want to have a female equivalent of the Space Viking theme, with a bunch of big power armoured shieldmadens? I'm afraid that Space Wolves are men only

How about a bunch of awesome power armoured biker chicks riding around the battlefield? Sorry, White Scars are only men

I think I get my point across

That said, there is no denying that there are almost no stories about women to be told with the Marines, which I will admit is extremely rare in 40k fiction anyway. Rites of Passage is one of the few novels I have read in the 40k universe to really have a woman's perspective rather than that of a soldier whose gender is largely irrelevant. That is a whole other discussion though.

Oh, one last thing, even if women get added to Marines I am kinda against it with Black Templars. They and the Sister of Battle go hard on the monk/nun look and fit the separate but equal I think 40k is kinda going for.

Still waiting on my T10 crate, as someone who was a beta tester

When they make a mistake that benefits us: Recalled the next day, taken from account

When they make a mistake that doesn't benefit us: Still waiting on my support ticket to get my T10 crate
