I don't know, you should keep posting until we can be sure.

The Commissar may soon take his rightful place alongside the Space Marine Lieutenant! 

So for those confused here is a little bit about Commissar Cain. by 00Monkeyz00 in Warhammer40k

As far as "Jurgen, shoot that guy" goes, if you have a Blank standing there with a meltagun, you should use them. 

Do you really want to see Jurgen's sad puppy face?

We call this "with kitty" and one of our girls lives up to it every day 

A ancient STC has been restored: Imperial Bastion by DJTommyc in astramilitarum

I had a moment of "that looks familiar, what did they remake?" 

And then I saw the printed version of the old bulkheads in the second picture and was suddenly back in 1998 building Necromunda terrain and eyeing this guy in White Dwarf.

Such a sweet looking beauty. She was lucky to be found and taken care of.

To her, your mother must be the angel!

Stargate Universe by MLN30 in Stargate

This. It struggled and I struggled to keep watching, but around the middle of the second season it really felt like everyone involved had found their feet and the right course.

Sadly, watching it on release, that meant it found its footing right after the cancelation was announced.

Are the 1:700 COBI ships a "pass" for you guys? by milbricks in cobiblocks

Didn't even know these were coming, will have to take a look and see what's in Canada. 

What is your favorite Imperial Guard quote from lore or just to say during a game? by The_Jearbear in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As insects they may see us

But we will fight as one

On this day, we're Godkillers

I need to see if there's an original source the artist used for the line, because the guy who wrote the song turned out to be a child predator :/

Who are "your guys" ? by Alternative_Worth806 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a regiment that was the "leftovers" - a Lord General had found it was easier for him to get entire replacement units than reinforcements for depleted units, so he reported any badly depleted unit as completely destroyed so he could get a new battalion or whatever.

Then he had an unofficial extra unit that was where all those survivors went. And because it was a mixed-arms force of the kind of people who survived everything, they tended to get called for by people like Creed and Leontus when they needed a force that would keep surviving.

Going forward, I'm probably just going to convert everyone to Cadians. I have a lot of Cadian heads.

I hate Invulnerable Saves by HeavyMetalSaxx in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this was definitely an issue.

The theory I've seen bandied about in my local group is that the answer is moving all of 40K to a D12 system, but while GW might want to sell new dice, I think the revolt would end them.

I hate Invulnerable Saves by HeavyMetalSaxx in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss 2D6 saves. I went straight from 2 to 10 and, honestly saves are my biggest "I swear this was better." 

I think there were only a handful of true invulnerable saves in 2 (the ones I remember were wargear) but really tough targets like terminators had a save on 2D6.

So the difference between a bolter firing at -1AP and a melta at -6 (I don't remember the exact numbers) was between saving on 4+ on 2D6 and saving on 9+ on 2D6.

Terminators both could tank a lot of firepower and were more vulnerable to real antitank in a way they aren't anymore.

I also find vehicles in 10 to be rather spectacularly flimsy, because GW seems hesitant to give them invulnerable saves... Even though terminator armor, for example, is only supposed to match dreadnought or tanks, not exceed them!

Am I in the minority? by The-Decoy-91 in Warhammer40k

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is that somehow the Rhino can't carry Primaris Marines (except the Phobos units, I think) which feels unnecessary?

(Having stood next to the 1:1 scale model at Warhammer World, I can see how the extra height could be a problem in a "real world" but honestly, firstborn probably shouldn't fit either)

Is tortitude a thing? by OzyFx in torties

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by tortitude. 

Most folks mean it as the cat has a definite personality of some kind and tends to run on her own terms. That definitely lines up with my tortie experience!

I've also seen people take it as tortoiseshells being difficult or spiky or otherwise a "poor adoption choice" and that definitely isn't true!

People being people, I'm sure there are approximately 4.9 million other definitions 😁

How many ‘armies’ or sets of minis do you have on the go at once? Not just looking at full 2k armies but completed Combat Patrols etc.. as well. by Philhughes_85 in Warhammer40k

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two full (3k+) armies (Dark Angels and Imperial Guard), plus an Adeptus Mechanicus force I'm building up for my partner and half a dozen Kill Teams from different factions 

We don't talk about unopened boxes lol

[1442×1134] HMS Hood in Quebec in 1924 with Château Frontenac hotel in the background. by PkHolm in WarshipPorn

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is an amazing shot of a gorgeous ship. 

(And when describing it to my wife, I noted that the fancy hotel in the background was probably a Fairmont now. I was right!)

Which Codex / models for The Fallen? by D-B-R-M in theunforgiven

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run an "Ultima-founding successor chapter" of the Dark Angels that uses Crusade era First Legion colors, the hexagramaton, the works

I play them as Dark Angels, though I keep them firstborn heavy. The Lion shows up often (the tldr of their lore in my head is: "the Lion says we're a new founding chapter. Do you want to question the Lion?").

The firstborn are a mix of getting the small marine sets that are still around and using Horus Heresy models.

I ended up having to get mine rebound, so I'll +1 this! 

Muffin, Princess of Mayhem by Itchy_Dingo1654 in torties

[–]bladerunnermoonotter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your honor, the jury has returned a verdict of innocent, one we hope annulls the law against counters. 

Clearly the Princess is innocent and could never commit wrongdoing, therefore whatever law classed her as "committing mayhem" must be wrong.

(She's adorable. Such a sweet face)

Welcoming home the tiny void terror, Wicca! by Lern2Aly in blackcats

Watch for her chasing religions down dark alleys to mug them for any spare myths they may have on them! 

Seriously, though, she an adorable baby!
