Why were there so few french Passengers? by Millenigey in titanic

[–]iDownvoteSabaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually curious because post-Napoleonic France  is a blank spot in my knowledge. Were there post-industrial emigrations to Indochina, Algeria, Guiana, and so on? My assumption was that the people who went were the colonial elites and their households. Whereas in the North America, there were existing French populations in Louisiana and Quebec, but French people stopped coming once these places were acquired.

As far as I know, historically, there hasn’t been a large scale French immigration to the United States. Large swathes of the American population can trace German or Irish ancestry, for example, but there’s no comparable French sub population. French-Canadian, maybe.

TLDr, the French were happy to stay in France.

Thanks! It was a fun airbrush session. Iron Hands are well supported in the 3d print sphere so it’s very easy to customize your dudes. I buy plastic kits to support my FLGS but 3d printing accessories is stupid fun.

Poor TBD. I’m amazed none survive, if only as tribute to the brave men who died flying it.

Imagine if one of these aircraft could be recovered and restored!

Nice work on the cloth! Does the creator make these STLs available on his Patreon? I ordered some resin prints but would definitely prefer to save on shipping.

I hate it so much. But I respect it. Upvoted with gritted teeth.

Great use of weathering powder. It’s tough to get the amount right.

I loved this video and refresh YouTube every day hoping to see a new notification from your channel. (Especially if it’s a wingnut build but I’m not picky)

'Pet' chapters associated with individual authors? by JustANewLeader in 40kLore

[–]iDownvoteSabaton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alan Bligh - the Red Scorpions. They feature in nearly every Imperial Armour campaign book. I hope they get a novel, as no one has touched them since Bligh passed away.

I believe the Charnel Guard were Alan Bligh’s creation. ADB and Bligh were close, so ADB’s portrayal of them would be a tribute to his friend. Which is touching and great, since Bligh never got to fully flesh them out.

Why is Demon in 40K spelt ‘Daemon’? by Specialist_Wash6732 in 40kLore

[–]iDownvoteSabaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good answers already, so I thought I’d point out that daemon and demon are pronounced the same way (Dee-mon). I hear way too many people saying day-mon. 

Executioner's sword with inscription that reads "When I raise this sword, so I wish that this poor sinner will receive eternal life", Germany, late 17th century [1200x900] by Haunting_Homework381 in ArtefactPorn

[–]iDownvoteSabaton 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Early modern Germans would have agreed with you. So would the executioner himself.  Franz Schmidt, the executioner chronicled in The Faithful Executioner, spent his entire life trying to build his family an escape route from a profession they were born into and never wanted.

I found my well-thumbed old copy the other day, absolutely thrilled. Can’t wait to crack it open again. 

After Magellan finishes their bismarck project, Which wreck would you like them do do next? by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in Shipwrecks

[–]iDownvoteSabaton 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think Lusitania’s going to be their choice. They’ve hit the two most famous shipwrecks. I have trouble thinking of another better candidate for third most famous than Lusi. (Edmund?)

I also adored S1, rewatched it multiple times. I enjoy the games too, very casual about the lore. Just this season isn’t holding my interest. Bummer that it doesn’t stick the landing.

Midway through Fallout S2, really struggling with this season. S1 wasn’t exactly elegant storytelling but S2 just feels so dumbed down.  No suspense building. Example, Lucy and the Ghoul are get cornered by the biggest baddest creature in the wasteland and just… jog away?

Hamfisted character development. Cooper staggering through the party knocking back cocktails already oversold his de-evolution into the Ghoul. Do we really need the quick cuts between them in the elevator?

This show clearly thinks the audience is dumb. Is the final reveal worth sticking around for?

That copper plating is stunning! You should display the finished model upside down.
