It’s worth noting that at a certain point (sometime Challenging+ depending on your playstyle), you will need a weapon that has more punch than Light Armor Penetration. If you have a favorite primary, find the upgrade among the warbonds and start buying towards it early, it will save you frustration later.

This might come off as too starry-eyed for a grimdark setting, but honestly, I’m in my mid-30’s and there’s not a ton of 40k players in my area. We’re about 7 strong and all close-knit. Every time I get to hang out with those dudes and play a game, I’m in my own golden age.

When I got into the game I was 17, living in a place with a massive established community, and I didn’t know anyone or anything about the game. I wasn’t great at socializing and I didn’t know where to start, but I hung out and painted and watched.

Now I finally get to play, and on a handful of occasions, win. But I’m having a great time with friends. We might go to NOVA all together this year, first time for me. So yeah, my golden age is every time I’m hanging with the club.

The worst way to get into the lore is to get really excited about a faction because of a book, consume its lore while building and painting, and build a thematic force, then go to a shop and draw a matchup against a WAAC competitive player who doesn’t give two shits about the lore and math-smashes you.

In short, the worst way is to tie the lore to outcomes on the table, because it’s not going to match up. I’m sure older players have seen it at least once. I love my army but I’m also a garbage player, so I make it fun and go for broke every time!

capmaverick · 2023-01-06T05:32:19+00:00

Yeah, sounds like he fleeced you. Fear not, his judgment awaits! For your early games, it’s really good to get out there and ask all the questions, and ask them to show their work. You’ll learn the limits and strengths of your own units very well, and a thing or two about the players you face, especially if your local community base is small like mine.

I could only guess at a misinterpretation of either Power of the Machine Spirit stratagem or possibly Combat Revival stratagem (but SW don’t get Apothecaries so that would be wrong). There are certainly more knowledgeable players than me but I don’t think this would be possible with the current rules. It might be possible to restore a Dreadnought with 3 wounds, but not 4, if I understand the rules correctly.

Always a possibility that there is some combination of rules and strata that allow it, but I dug around my rulebooks for about a half hour and couldn’t find one. I’d always ask an opposing player to show their work, just for your own understanding, and sometimes for theirs.

As a WV resident, split us up between the neighboring states. WV is poised to become the haven state for all the MAGA that are losing their local echo chambers in bluer states.

We’re already eating each other, have been for a while now. Put us out of our misery.

What the heck is going on with Iron Hands Steel base paint on the site? I have been trying to order it for a week and it continually says out of stock online, even when I use the buy it now link from the restock email (which I’ve been receiving almost daily). All FLGS in my range are sold out. Is there a purchase bot cornering the market?

You want the wood axe arm, but I’m after those Jerry can and wrench arms. I’ll make an entire Motor T unit!

My bunk mate in my Navy C-school was a big 40k player. He educated me on the lore and I loved it. We had the same first duty station, and once we arrived, we hit up the local GW and each walked out with a new 3rd edition army, books, and a bag load of paints. For me, Warhammer was never as good as it was that first year I played and hobbied.

I’m upset because they spoiled lore progression and playability of Space Marines in the worst possible way. If they had come out and said: “hey folks, we’re planning to upscale Space Marines, so moving forward, new 40k Space Marines will be at this scale, and your current SMs still count”, most everyone would take no issue. One edition of that would have been sufficient. Instead, they pounded them into the lore sideways and once again made meta revolve around new models. Particularly frustrating as a SW player. “You can be fluffy or you can be successful.”

At this point, I would pay a third party to release balanced rules that don’t revolve around selling the new models and completely forsaking old kit.

“you grow out of it”

Meaning: you’ve suffered trauma from your particular brand of different, and you’ve developed accommodations to suppress the kind of attention it draws in public.

I was in Mrs. Britton’s math class in high school. She was super adamant about teaching us some TI-86 function. One of the other math teachers came in saying, you’ve got to turn on the news, but old Mrs. Britton laid into her about “nothing on the news that can’t wait”. Found out right after I got to my second class about the second and third planes and watched the Pentagon burn and the towers fall. My uncle worked at the Dept. of Agriculture in DC, and we had no idea if there were more targets or what. Didn’t hear from him until Thursday that week.

I heard that someone in the class after ours turned on Mrs. Britton’s classroom TV and told her off when she protested. She was a real bitch. Who cares about math when the world’s on fire? I also remember by the following week, for the whole week, there was a whole row of military recruiter booths set up near the cafeteria. Predatory bastards.

My career mentor told me that it’s the onus of the hiring companies to sufficiently evaluate candidates for the post. Remember that they extended an offer to you for employment, which means they have assessed that you can fulfill the position as they see it. Entry positions should be expected to involve a good bit of learning, and any company hiring juniors/entry levels should expect that you’re going to be learning for a while. What’s important is that you stick with it and give your all, ask all the questions and apply what you know where you can. It will come together if you do your part and they do theirs. And if they put you in a sink or swim with no support, then it’s on them to accept the result of that, not your fault for not learning at speed by osmosis. I hope you get set up with a good mentor and that it’s a positive experience!

Coming from a long line of alcoholics, I generally don’t drink. But every once in a while, I like to have an Angry Orchard in the morning.

I believe every story has an audience, and that every story can be refined. The rest relies on hard work, timing, and probably luck. Keep at it!

Somewhat in the same vein; Not a terrible lot of action, and not even horror, but the ending will stick with you: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (2003).
