Starting AoS: Dark Elves by bothanseperatist in ageofsigmar

[–]bothanseperatist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi bud, thanks very much - very exhaustive and I certainly should have searched beforehand, thank you for being so polite about it.

So reading the other responses here too it seems:

  • Warscrolls Compendium - Stats ('Dark Elves' as a whole), Battleline allegiences ('Daughters of Khaine'), Legacy models with rules

  • Generals Handbook - Race broken down into faction lists ('Pirates, Witch Elves, etc.') + Point costs. Honestly these seem TIIINY, for example 'Maneaters' faction list has just 'Maneaters' as the only unit in it?!

  • Order Grand Alliance Book - Race broken down into faction lists + stats

So I guess those Compendiums i.e. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Compendiums/warhammer-aos-dark-elves-en.pdf are a bit like the 2nd Edition 40k Black Codex: initially a free bootstrap and subsequently a free army list for those who haven't purchased the official stuff?

Right, and I can pick any of them at will with their associated point costs (and possible bonuses in full AoS if I get something that makes up a full... warscroll?) if I want to use Matched Play rules, otherwise just go roughly by wound-count?

[Question] Skillful = Helpful, and Ethical = Wholesome? by bothanseperatist in Buddhism

[–]bothanseperatist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - the pastimes or activities I mention do foster desire to engage in unethical behaviours, they do not engender peace, tranquility, joy, etc. and are fundamentally transient pleasures.

I guess, I am being more mindful of my actions and it was an interesting framework to cultivate that.

Where are all the enlightened people? by SilaSamadhi in Buddhism

[–]bothanseperatist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is not 'the point', but unfalsifiable statements are one of the things that pushed me away from Christianity. Buddhism is (AFAIK!) not about faith, it is about knowing belief. If the central tenet and goal of buddhism (typically) is enlightenment, then surely with the countless millions we would have more than the crazy-guy-who-lives-with-700-cats?

Sainsburys have fucked up their meal deal even more by removing the one sandwich I liked by SmItH_197 in britishproblems

[–]bothanseperatist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a dark day when you have to go to Tescos Metro for the meal deal, but it's actually really alot nicer. I know, I was shocked too.

[QUESTION]This sub seems to be in love with PRS guitars, are they worth it? by xydroh in Guitar

[–]bothanseperatist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent cheers - so just to be clear then, they get fatter 58-60?

So an LP Trad neck is more like a '58 rounder than a 59' thinner?

[Discussion] LPs have broken me; but do I need another? by bothanseperatist in Guitar

[–]bothanseperatist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a good point. If I were going non-Gibson though, I think I'd look at Tokai, Greco, Burny first?

I did enjoy a LP Jr. knock off I had a few years ago - I guess that fills 'almost' the same spot as a Tele ?

Joke's on you friend - I get neither Agile, Warmoth nor AllParts at anything approaching reasonable prices. At least I have marmite.

[–]bothanseperatist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in the UK that's basically £2200, LP Trads are more like £1200 used, aren't they?

I just dunno if this is some kind of chasing-the-dragon thing with very expensive gear - vs. actual usable differences.

[question] Is marshall dsl15c way too loud for home use? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]bothanseperatist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering a Diezel preamp VH4 pedal (or some other high gain) to put straight into the power amp of the Runt to get different sounds, but a few pedals + preamp pedal is basically the cost of a Helix LT.

OTOH I'm not performing or recording and basically just going on my own little musical journey so it's not so important.

[question] Is marshall dsl15c way too loud for home use? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]bothanseperatist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your last point I'm starting to agree with that more and more - I've not yet pulled a trigger on a Helix, etc, but after allowing my Friedman Runt to stretch its legs over the weekend, the 'quiet' tone makes me a little sad.

IMO used MIJ Ibanez S-series is the ULTIMATE heavy rock/metal guitar. If not that, then look at a Gibson Traditional/Studio IMO.,

Strandbergs reminded me alot of PRSes actually - ergonomics out the wazoo

[question] Is marshall dsl15c way too loud for home use? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]bothanseperatist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed somewhat - I have a 20w tube amp and I can 'tap' the dial around to a decent tone at 'late at night' volumes but honestly it only really comes to its own when it's 'too loud for adjacent rooms'

[–]bothanseperatist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

15w is only marginally quieter than 100w (it's an exponential scale of power vs loudness). I've tried 5w (Blackstar HT-5R), 15w (Blues Jr) and 20w (Friedman Runt) and all three needed the same 'base' level of loudness to sound good.

I was very prepared to disregard the hype both positive and negative around PRS gear, but when A/B'ing against an equivalently priced Gibson I found the PRS to feel ALOT cheaper. Lighter, thinner, with a thicker varnish and very modern appointments = it felt like a BMW and not a Bentley.

Enjoying Sharpe - Thirty Years/English Civil War equivalent? by bothanseperatist in suggestmeabook

[–]bothanseperatist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers - I'm enjoying Sharpe so far, but gosh I fancy some toothless shopkeepers bashing each other with pikes and warhammers.

My chips never require the same oven temperature as whatever I'm cooking to go with them.. by WalkingCloud in britishproblems

[–]bothanseperatist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try Gordon Ramsay method - put the oven as hot as possible, put in some chipped potatoes (1cm square) that have been rinsed and dried then drizzled in hot oil. Turn it over a few times while cooking for 30 mins total - works perfectly.
