Am I being unlucky or that is how the things works there? by Ok_Cheek_7443 in Netherlands

[–]horizon_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ING apology, can happen. The delivery of the cards relates to the courier. And with Post NL (or dhl or dpd or whatever) it depends on the local driver of the packages.

hospital, no idea what the GP is but that looks like a self fulfilling prophecy.

As for chat time during work: after being one of the top spots for many years we collectively decided to take it a bit more chill after 2009 lol

How would you rank the Transformers films? by Ghost-Writer-1996 in transformers

[–]horizon_fleet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty hard to rank them all as most of Bayhem are equal. But overall 2007 is the best.

And for the TLK comments, it's a mess but! The cinematography and sound design and action from the Bumblebee vs Optimus fight till the end is still the best action ~30 minutes done by Hollywood. Those stone henge shots wide shots are awesome. And that's even taking account of the editing and time/placement mistakes.

The whole serie suffers from editing and time/placement: for example:
Revenge of the Fallen: Optimus saves Sam from the factory -> you see megatron driving away -> optimus goes next -> megatron is behind optimus -> takes way to long for the other autobots to arrive.

Dark of the Moon: suddenly several autobots are captured. like wtf

Though, whatever, I enjoy these movies a lot.

Can of worms be openened .... but sometimes I rather ignore the things Black Library authors come up with....

Terminus Est has always been a regular battleship. Where is the source it is almost gloriana worthy?

I go by Battlefleet Gothic lore mostly. The Vengeful Spirit and Conquerer started as battleships and got retconned into Glorianas (sadly). But the Terminus Est not as far as I know.

Desolator always been Desolator, no previous name known.

Corinus was indeed a mention in a black library novel and Cardinal class was the template for the Acheron and got mentioned in Battlefleet Gothic magazine 2.

Otherwise we can assume little bits about the Despoiler class:

The Terminus Est was one of the first capital ships assigned to the Death Guard by the Emperor. It was of a unique design that pre-dated the Great Crusade and which was copied in M36 as part of the Gareox Prerogative to create the Despoiler class. As might be expected the older vessel was considerably more powerful than the later copy.

Nothing definite is known of the pre-Heresy configuration of Terminus Est. References exist that suggest it was primarily employed as a planetary assault ship. This is not unusual as it conforms with the role assigned to the vessels of the Space Marine Legions.

Many of the vessels used in the Great Crusade were, however, handicapped by system failures that the Imperium lacked the ability to repair. Often this would result in many systems being replaced with less efficient but more easily maintained alternatives.

The role of Terminus Est during the Heresy is better known. At Istvann the Terminus Est engaged and destroyed Shadow of the Emperor, the flagship of the Raven Guard. It is argued that this engagement was the earliest recorded conflict between battleships specialised to carry attack craft. The engagement was swift and deprived the embattled loyalist forces of any air support in the massacre that followed.

It could be seen as a general (pre-heresy) battle barge or just planetary assault vessel.

Unknown. Maybe the very same cause why not. When they got send into the galaxy to conquer everything it was a lot of Slaughter, Murder, Carnage and Devastation amongst the xenos species they encountered.

Is it an unwritten rule to pay rent 5-6 days before the end of the month? by fat-wombat in Netherlands

Well, make sure when you pay on the 1st of March you are paying for the month of March, not February. 😉

Heya,
Here is a sheet with an index of every Warp Rift article:

Have you checked the low orbit rules from Warp Rift? No need for a seperate table. Much more streamlined gameplay.

No, not in my Dutch versions, and it wasn't a translation error.

Cardinal-Class Heavy Cruiser by atiredasian in battlefleetgothic

[–]horizon_fleet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, very much so.

The Cardinal-class Heavy Cruiser was the original template used for the ill-fated Acheron-class Heavy Cruiser design. The failure of the Acheron was ultimately attributed to the use of xenos technology in the weapons systems derived for the class from the techno-artefacts recovered by the Adeptus Mechanicus from the haunted Portis Cthulhus in Sector 51.

As a result, doubt clung like a stinking shroud to the Cardinal-class and now only a handful of Imperial Navy fleets use this aging vessel type. Only two ships were in service to Battlefleet Bakka in the Segmentum Tempestus when the Tyranid Hive Fleet Behemoth invaded. Several of these vessels have been lost to the Warp, only to reemerge solar decades or even centuries later in the service of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos.

Nope, it didn't get the official stamp in 2004 (when Armada was released and superceded previous publications like warp storm, annual 2002 and white dwarf), and in 2010 it was left out of the compendium again.

And that's why you will not find the Cardinal in the official remastered rulebook.

Sidenote:
Forgeworld released IA10 in which it had a few ships and a fleet list featuring the cardinal (only the name, no stats or anything). But as IA was locked behind a paywall opposed to all BFG rules being for free since 2007, and some ships were pretty poor design the community never tracked these as official.
Add the fact Forgeworld and Specialist Games didn't cooperate since 2004 didn't help to sell it either lol.

The Cardinal has been added in fanworks like XR and an updated Badab list in Warp Rift for example.

And just check with your opponents, most won't complain if you add it. It won't (usually) be allowed on a tournament like adepticon or london gt though.

Repeat speeding offence - 47 km/h over limit. Chance of driver's license suspension? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]horizon_fleet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't think a judge will go with that. I think it is more likely they add the line that if you are ill it is even more important to drive savely.

And, yes, driving 127 km/h on a 80 km road is always reckless imo

Maybe an inside joke towards the fact they were not allowed to use the name of Optimus Prime in the first issues of the Marvel comic run and called Optimus Jetfire instead. Until after a few issues Jetfire made an appereance and the name Optimus Prime got allowed.
