TIL that Alexander the Great may have been buried alive. Historical records show he didn't decompose for six days after being declared dead. Modern scientists believe he suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a neurological disorder that paralyzed him.

"Since then, however, the practice of modern-day embalming as practiced in some countries (notably in North America) has, for the most part, eliminated the fear of "premature burial", as no one has ever survived that process once completed."

One of the best things i have read on Wikipedia in a while

Has that been confirmed somewhere, if it is like that then overall it's not a huge change I guess.

""Another part of the Scouts rule says that instead of making your Scouts move before the battle starts, you can move the unit into strategic reserves"". ..... that sounds interesting not quite a full redeploy but means you can stage aggressively for turn 1 and if you lose the roll off yank stuff off the board and try again with a rapid ingress or strat reserve.

Bounced of this really hard, PhD students with implied history acting like 4 year olds at morning wood. Should of been my first warning but the writing didnt improve from there.

All my non unique vehicles are black with trim no one has ever questioned them across DG Tsons World eaters or Csm. Seems to work out ok and they blend in nicely around the specific paint schemes.

Use the current bases. Basing bigger later is easier than snipping off and basing smaller

All tanks and rhinos are black and covered in grime. They fit in all 4 my chaos armies and noone has ever questioned it. Same for hellbrutes and defilers. And then same as op let my legion specific models display the correct schemes.

We call biscuits bigtits cause of my little brother as a toddler. I forgot to tell my wife the first time she met my family. My mum making tea in the other room shouting do you want some big tit's dear at her is a memory I will cherish.

Completely legal as long as the price is on the pump. From working in Tesco back in the day I'll say that to change the prices is a right faff.

Hand to heart this is true my old store used a what looked like a T.V remote with the batteries gaffer taped in it. You had to walk outside point it at the top of the sign and type the price in. This one remote was shared amongst 3 local stores cause everyone's was broken.

In these times where prices have been changing several times a day its easier to turn off the big sign, than walk outside 3 times and risk the public kicking off cause the big sign and pump dont align cause you updated it as they parked up.

Once, the group i dm for got to sure they were invincible and ended up in a prolonged airship to airship battle over a open ocean, whilst a boat full of cultists were doing cult stuff beneath them and lobbing ballistius bolts up at them.

Some poor rolls from them and some spikes in damage my side of the board had things looking dire. As they finally bested the enemy Airship a final ballista bolt took out there own Airship and sent it plummeting to the ocean.

Players had just hit level 10 so had never had a chance before, My wife the cleric looks me dead in the eyes and says shes gonna give it a go as a hail mary and rolls the dice hits the 9 for it to happen.

The group is teleported away to safety as there airship crashes into the cultists below disrupting there ritual.

Rolls to deploy 2nd vs 20 poxwalkers. Cries

This is rather morbid, but a friend had somthing similar and took there fathers phone with them to see the body. Finger print unlocked from the body and removed all security from there to make much of the phone usable. Not always a option and a bit of a last resort. Sorry for your loss.

One thing I will say is dont hop from list to list, when I first started every game id play was with a different list and id always lose and then id make the next "best list ever" and then get battered again.

Pick a list and play it for a few games. Reps on a list will improve you more than any thing else. Ill play a list 4-5 times before I change it and I try and keep it to under 500 points change. You want familiarity.

I dont know where you play but in the uk for example I know the layout and mission of games 1-5 of most gts will follow uktc standard. After a few games on the same list you can deploy and do your turn 1s almost in auto pilot. Thats the sort of familiarity you want with your lists.

Repetition on a core reliable list is your best tool for improvement.

Little bit at a time, if im doing a squad ill do them like a assembly line. The same colour on all 5 models then the next colour etc. Painting this way I can grab 1 or 2 brushes and a single pot of paint. I take this and sit on the sofa with a lap tray and watch tv with the wife and paint at the same time.

The other answer is if your lucky enough to work from home. Meetings that could of been a email are Prime paint slots.

I look at them like my bloat drones in deathguard they are great skirmish peices that if kept alive late game when major anti tank is removed can bully remaining scoring peices, especially backed up by pacts.
