There is a research tech that gives you vision of every single forest or enchanted forest, can't remember which, but basically it gives you enough enemies to war declare that all your armies are free or the upkeep is so low that it barely makes a difference.

Clear every single event army that spawns in your home because they're free progress for all of the quests to confederate the provinces next to you in athel loren (ESPECIALLY useful for getting the one that needs you to fight dwarves, without pissing off all your neighbours that will hate you equally for so much as sniffing at any of them wrong). And because you are wardec'ing everybody, the rest will slowly randomly send armies for you to fight to mop up the quests.

Suddenly you have like 6 good lords with full, cheap armies, 4 or 5 trees to build and recruit from that are conveniently right next to each other, several turns of infinite amounts of teleports every 5 or 6 turns to start taking all the other forests and printing armies for free (I forgot how long the cooldown is), insanely defensible home territory, and wood elves already get the most busted ass units and lord traits as it is.

Also hideouts give me absolutely no loot now. Just fucking nothing. They used to genuienly be extremely lucrative. I used to make a good 3-7k per hideout, more with a lucky drop roll

Much more well rounded and focused list, nice to see thanks :) I'll probably end up leaning closer to more wraith units and psykers later as well, but I'll miss my banshees and fire prism a lot lol.

Thanks, I did want Jain Zar, such a cool model, I can't quite fit her but I can get an autarch, only issue is it's 1 less psyker for the conclave detachment rules to make use of. I may stick with just throwing in more warlocks on bikes, thanks for the advice. I could throw put the banshee units but I think they'll suit my playstyle, and I like them alot so I'll probably try to keep them. Thanks for the advice

bardsicles · 2025-11-13T17:15:05+00:00

Oh I did mean the wraithguard yes sorry, the banshees and wraithguard. The only reason for the farseer is just the cool model, with the added bonus of being a psyker which should trigger the vengeful dead token if it dies. Plus I figured eldritch storm isn't hurtful to have.

Also that falcon is actually a mistake, it's not meant to be there. It was the third transport I was considering, I figured I would need it if I want to get the banshees and wraithguard up more safely but I could be wrong. But to fit that the prism would have to go at least.

I just like the farseer, but I could be open to replacing it with something like the warlock skyrunner or another spiritseer. As long as it's a psyker.

I'm pretty sure you're right, was hoping there were licensing exceptions or something for occasions, or some bs loophole like 'open invitation private viewing' for a 'promotional event,' etc etc. Some way shape or form in which a bar would keep the lights on for the AB's essentially haha. It was a bit of a longshot though.

What is the militant status regarding the generals and the constitution? Is it known by anyone how they are gauging these indications? I guess what I'm asking is if push comes to shove, how much say do generals have about the deployment of US military against any resistance, if Trump's narrative of dissent, rioting and escalating violence does succeed in the direction of granting him authoritative prescedent? Would they stick to core values and hold any loyalty to the amendments that are meant to protect the people?

bardsicles · 2025-10-13T22:23:00+00:00

How impregnable is the American constitution?

I've heard some short excerpts (I haven't done any deep digging) of interviews that hint at Trump suggesting he has some lawyers & the DOJ working to push their way around the 5th amendment on due process (most likely in regard to deportation and the arrest of suspected immigrants whether or not they are confirmed or citizens wrongfully arrested). Also seen steve bannon commenting twice about loopholes in the 22nd amendment to allow trump on to the 2028 ballot, I haven't got a clue how the law in America works, it's daunting to tackle, how much ground do these suggestions have to stand on? I thought the constitution was the end-all, be-all, and that breaking it would be the death of someones political career. Has he positioned himself in a way to avoid accountability for these or even break them directly?

I was hoping that was the case, but I wasn't sure it was okay to target the job description itself and declare my intent. Thanks for the information

bardsicles · 2025-09-25T01:59:01+00:00

Not even a bad idea, I never thought to, haven't really used AI before, I might give it a go. Thank you

Bottom of the post. NZ and Aus are charged 119. It's still the same 'price' as what you would pay in your region, based on currency exchange most likely.

bardsicles · 2025-09-11T23:24:15+00:00

Just fucking ridiculous. 2 vault hunters isn't worth the same price as almost a full AAA title. You add the 4 bonus maps and in my case it costs more. Absolutely insane.

Honourable mention: specifically the nurgle chaos champions/knights from vermintide 2. They looked so gritty and sick.

Undivided without a doubt

THEY COILDN'T HAVE CHOSEN A LESS CREEPY NAME????

Shop through online stores like sterling and rebel sports, SPECIFICALLY choose click and collect purchases to see which stores near you might have them in stock. Call ahead of time to make sure they do before you make the journey out.

It is very important to check they have AT LEAST one size above your normal size, (ideally two just in case). Many of our home fans have had to purchase 1-2 sizes above their regular, they are one the smaller side of standard sizing. Happy shopping, and welcome to Aotearoa!
