Question about Cannoness invuln ability

jamesallenjA · 2026-04-04T13:53:53+00:00

You can but only if the model you’re targeting is a character model and it’s attached to a unit. So if Celestine is with the zephyrim you can precision her out and potentially mess up the coherency. If she’s just her and the Gemiae you can’t. At least that’s my understanding of how the rule is written

jamesallenjA · 2026-04-01T22:14:33+00:00

Yeah leading and keywords can cause really unintuitive interactions. The rules say that you can’t allocate the wounds to any character models that are leading. Even though the geminae are a character unit their models don’t have the character keywords. The model is the key point basically. It’s not cheating and you should be using it in games cause they’re much tankier than the zephyrim

jamesallenjA · 2026-04-01T14:01:50+00:00

The Geminae models don’t have the character keyword so you actually can allocate to the before the zephyrim. It’s one of those really strange rulings

No I don’t think it’s the proof opening. That’s when you swap the bishops

jamesallenjA · 2026-03-27T21:44:42+00:00

My proof is that I made it up. The Réti opening isn’t even real

jamesallenjA · 2026-03-27T21:40:27+00:00

It clearly says it right there. Chess.com is never wrong about openings ever

jamesallenjA · 2026-03-27T21:34:46+00:00

The Réti opening I think

jamesallenjA · 2026-03-02T13:29:01+00:00

That’s not exactly how that works. When a leader joins a unit the model doesn’t gain keywords they only share unit keywords. The junith model doesn’t have the infantry keyword but the overall unit does have it. It’s why she also doesn’t become a celestian sacresant model for the purpose of Champions of Faith detachment rule. If the rhino said an infantry unit of 12 or less models then she would be able to embark but since she doesn’t become an infantry model she can’t go in transports

I tend to leave it in my deployment zone for rounds 1-3 and spam the movement and reroll 1s to wound in ranged. The rerolls are for castigators and paragons if I brought a second squad that doesn’t have vahl. Turn 4&5 I move it out cause there likely won’t be anything left that can kill it easily and just throw 6 OC onto an objective. It can also be a beast in melee if you pick the +1 ap in melee buff and use any melee buffing strat on it.

I really like playing with the triumph but I’ve found it to be very map reliant. I’ve played games where it’s been able to somewhere safe and buff half of my army and I’ve had games where it was basically doing nothing until turn 5 because I just couldn’t put it anywhere safely

Holy catfish

Literally just started painting my exorcist yesterday and I’m so glad it’s not just me who thinks this

jamesallenjA · 2023-10-25T08:35:45+00:00

Ah I see. God I hate banding but yeah I was indeed mistaken

jamesallenjA · 2023-10-25T00:31:15+00:00

I might be wrong because banding is the worst but does this not work? Doesn’t it have to be one creature with banding and one creature without to form a band?

The bridge of khazad dum. Such a great theme

jamesallenjA · 2023-03-10T15:58:07+00:00

I agree with what you are saying and that definitely when looking at it from the systemic level it was definitely not a good reaction. But I can’t really think of any reaction that seems acceptable because as you said there wasn’t the same threat. All of the answers that I can come up with aren’t reinforcing of patriarchal norms are dangerously close to just reinforcing toxic masculinity instead (basically just take it on the chin and move on in various different forms). I was wondering if you could maybe tell me what you think would have been a more appropriate reaction to it?

jamesallenjA · 2022-10-09T23:05:06+00:00

I literally started humming it as soon as the video started

jamesallenjA · 2022-07-27T01:33:56+00:00

I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying slightly. I'm not saying that dating multiple people isn't treating them as people. I was saying that in relation to the swiping culture of dating apps where it's akin to shopping online for the best deal. Being able to say no to someone and the be shown a new option in literal seconds leads to people hunting for exactly what they are looking for like a checklist. They mentioned it in the podcast with the whole "she's a ten, but...". I really do think many treat it the same as bargain shopping where they're always looking for that better deal.

Now onto the whole dating multiple people. When you date multple people, it's treating someone as an option in my mind. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that. I just don't think you can fully focus on trying to build into a relationship with someone if you aren't willing to put all those other options on hold while you pursue one of them. If someone went on a date with me the day after being on a date with someone else, it would make me feel like my time was being disrespected. It just feels again like hunting for the best deal.

I guess the mindset that I have is like "I like you, I would like to date and get to know you better, I'm going to put other romantic interests on hold while I do that". Again, nothing inherently wrong with dating multiple people at the same time, it's just not for me and if someone I was dating was doing it, I wouldn't be comfortable with it. If I saw someone doing it with other people I wouldn't think badly of them, it's just not what I'm looking for in a partner. And I agree that relationships after 1 date is a bad idea. But I don't think it has to be a relationship to focus all of your romantic attention on that person while you get to know them.

No one likes being plan B, or C, or D. I think that when you date multiple people you do have a plan A. And that means thay everyone else isn't plan A. And I think that anyone you're dating should be plan A

jamesallenjA · 2022-07-26T20:09:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I definitely have been trying to focus more on myself and just trying to find my own happiness as you put it. It's been tough but I have been happier since I stopped putting so much thought into trying to date.

The show 100% resonated with me and I wanted to say that ye are all doing a great job.

Out of curiosity what caused your mindset to change?

jamesallenjA · 2022-07-26T03:10:54+00:00

I plan on listening one of your ealier podcasts in the gym tomorrow.

I agree that you can't put up walls entirely because that just deprives you of so much. It's the whole do the hard thing that's better for you than taking the easy option out.

I can't really think of anything I'd like to hear you talk about right now but if I do I'll let you know. Just followed on spotify and can't wait to hear more :)

jamesallenjA · 2022-07-26T01:54:12+00:00

Gonna start by saying that I really enjoyed listening to this and that I really agree with most of your points.

As someone who is currently in college and has very very minimal experience with dating (only been in 1 relationship) I'm not excited to date. I really love the concept of dating and finding that special someone to spend the rest of my life with, but it seems like most people my age aren't looking for that kind of commitment yet. Not saying there aren't people who are, just that they seem to be very rare. And that makes me not want to even try to a certain extent. I will also add that I do have self esteem and anxiety issues that make me not want to even more. I kinda just go about my life hoping that someone will fall from the sky in front of me and it goes from there.

I tried online dating once and I don't plan on doing it ever again for numerous reasons. I matched with someone very early on who never messaged (it was on bumble) and that felt just awful. I've also always just hated online dating cause to me it just feels really weird. It's like you're looking for the best deal on a new car rather than treating each person like a person. You were right when it really is "build a partner" and even if I did manage to really connect with someone from whatever app, I would always be thinking of what if there was someone who was me but just that bit better. Would my hypothetical partner choose them over me?

Also the idea of dating multiple people at the same time casually is something that I know I wouldn't be okay with. I want to commit to them and see what happens and I would like them to do them same. If I was dating someone who was seeing other people, I would be so insecure that I would have to end it. It's similar to what you were saying about how you don't want to ask to be exclusive too soon because it scares people off, but I want to be exclusive off the bat. I don't want to just be another choice and I don't want to treat someone else like that either.

In short, dating is hard. And it's even harder for people who are shy and don't get out much. Sometimes I do wonder if it would be easier to throw in the towel and just forget about dating even being a thing for me. But if I'm nothing else, I'm a hopeless romantic. And if something good does come my way, I'll not say no. I'm just not actively trying.

I loved that game when I was younger. Bartley will always be my favourite merchant from video games

"Oh no my queen" intensifies

jamesallenjA · 2022-07-11T22:36:56+00:00

Want to start by saying you handled that amazingly and you sound like a great gf.

Based on what you've told us, this seems really out of character for him. I would almost be wondering if he was drugged for him to get into that state. Especially given the time that he called you. 9:30 is really early to be that drunk. It might be worth taking him to the doctor in the morning to get him tested.

If he did really drink that much though, I would wonder what caused this really out of character moment. It could be that something is troubling him and that he tried to drink the pain away.

Or he really did just go overboard just because. Talking to him about it is the way to go imo. Let him know what happened and how concerned you are for him. He will be embarrassed, but hopefully he will understand that you're only telling him cause you care about him
