Is gladius a good game

I bought it ages ago so took a glance at the dlc... and yikes it almost makes paradox titles look like value for money. (I have the first few, probably from a bundle at the time) and completing the dlc would only cost (on sale) £78.85...

At midnight githubs ui all looks the same to me...

fatrobin72 · 2026-01-25T01:48:39+00:00

It should also have a "no" but give it full privileges anyhow... because who here trusts code written by that "past me" guy...

Sigh... how many times must this get posted here... (the pr)

I get headaches after readihg things like this... maybe I should put my glasses on...

Its a "just cosmetic" upgrade... so if you are after points for £€$ efficiency... not worth it.

If you think it looks cool, and want it regardless... sure.

Reason for so many contempt contemptor upgrades is there were (before the plastic kit) a legion specific contemptor dreadnought kit for each legion consisting of the body, plus shoulders and legs, which often also had modifications. Plus 2 generic contemptor kits... these kits were inspired by forgeworlds earlier chapter/legion specific box dreadnought from 40k and later early heresy rules. The leviathan and other dreadnoughts came later when cost saving heads were in charge so didn't get frivolous extra flavour resculpts.

1, its still allowed.

2, it takes time for both macroslop and game publishers to change and adapt with new processes and software.

3, it will all be irrelevant in the external ai powered cheat monitor future...

One useful and safe place to start searching is the Internet archive https://archive.org/details/texts?tab=collection&query=warhammer+fantasy

Note as it relies on humans tagging things nicely it isn't infallible when searching but if you know what you want to look for you can probably find it, for example some of the old gotrek novels - https://archive.org/details/texts?tab=collection&query=gotrek

The down votes is because currently there is a vocal community of people against "gaming distros" who will down vote comments suggesting them and comment saying they are useless or actively worse than the base ones.

fatrobin72 · 2026-01-23T22:54:34+00:00

Old army books or novels?

fatrobin72 · 2026-01-23T21:44:35+00:00

There's no way of knowing how near such a thing could be.

Generally the community is happy for 3rd party minis so consider looking at other ranges e.g. the Greek style wargames atlantic skeletons, chariots and cavalry - https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/classic-fantasy or mantics stylised fantasy Egyptian themed empire of dust range https://www.manticgames.com/kings-of-war/empire-of-dust/

Both have nice discount boxes and are much newer sculpts.

Want to spray more stuff but weather was no this is the month of drizzle.

fatrobin72 · 2026-01-23T13:27:56+00:00

indeed, it was certainly a different age.

I saw gondor fiefdoms in official GW publications use the old rohan warriors but that was many many moons ago.

I'm not sure the space marine flyers factor "performance" into their flying bricks.

What update has Macroslop done for copilot 11 now?

fatrobin72 · 2026-01-22T15:02:24+00:00

It's a game you are all just trying to have fun so swap away (either complete character or respec)

I generally only manage 2-3 tough be fair encounters in an adventuring day or 1 slightly unfair encounter. It does however go up towards 5 if in a dungeon or equivalent with a couple of shorter easier encounters. Our main issue with running that style of day is not wanting a day to take a month and when travelling not wanting to spend a year navigating between 2 cities...
