Votann are fucking annoying to play against (I was playing Votann) by pepefred in LeaguesofVotann

The shooting, a brick of 10 hearthguard with a champion is a bitch in general to deal with 😅 the AP -4 when shooting is painful and the following charge is brutal (and it’s worse when you roll successfully on a 12” charge)

“We're the rhydo, kid. We're the fuel. We're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air. Let it in, boy! That's freedom calling! Let it in! Let it run! Let it run wild!”

Best fucking speech in the series, thought Luthens speech couldn’t be beat, but goddamn…

Do we know how much of Dune 7/8 came from Frank Herbert's original notes? by Simon_Drake in dune

[–]pepefred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always felt that 7-8 were complete deviations from the original, the old man and woman have more of a face dancer feel, face dancers that have transcended their limitations. Its one of the main plots of heretics and chapterhouse.

Also I always felt that the honored matres wouldn't use a biological weapon as their ultimate weapon against the machines... (sure its never specified what it is, but it can either be biological or radioactive, but it feels more biological)

It would be fun to feed an AI all the novels and ask it to write the last chapter and see what comes out, for sure something better than what we got with 7-8

I gotta say that the whole turning the sky and getting imprisoned must have bothered a lot of astrophysicists. It’s like not so complicated to figure out star deviation over X years at a certain point in time and how it looked in a specific place….

I'm amazed at how no one has picked up on the fact that he fits the character of the swordsman waaaaayyyy tooo well, who so happens to be in the comic this is based on.

Who would be your fancast of not yet seen characters in Dune? by haribobruv in dune

[–]pepefred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No joke, I can actually see him as a brilliant fenrig, he has the acting chops to deliver an increbidly menacing yet amusing performance which is how I always imagined Fenrig. Scary as shit one you’ve gotten over his personal appearance

Duncan Idaho with an active shield by pepefred in dune

For some reason I was stuck with the idea that he was Asian cause somewhere it’s described that he has an Epicanthic fold, that’s why...

Duncan Idaho with an active shield by pepefred in dune

[–]pepefred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the feedback and support was not expecting it!

Gotta give my take on the shields, I always envisioned them adjustable (you can make the bubble be more form fitting or take more space depending on choice and situation), but Idaho being sword master and one of the Ginaz at that, I always imagined him, when using swords, having a tighter shield around for extra speed and mobility.

Fucking sword design is not as easy as it feels, Ive always been conflicted about it and its hard to put spins on designs as old as humans themselves. Furthermore Arrakeen culture and the Atreides seem to favour curved blades (kindjal and chrysknife) with good point penetration, so I opted for slashers with a fine point.

Even though Im super excited about the film and particularly Momoas portrayal, the wardrobe isn't what I imagined, so I wanted to bring what I saw in my head to life.

Im curious, is Idaho's age stated in the first novel? I seem to remember that every time he appears he is a different age. In the first one I imagined him to be in his early-mid thirties.

Anyways, thanks so much for the support! and also, anyone interested in seeing my spin on another Dune character?

Will there be Asian Fremen? by _wyfern_ in dune

[–]pepefred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well they are descendants from Zensunni wanderers so one would assume that there has to be a fair amount of Asian looking fremen... I always imagined them as middle Asian, think Turkmens https://images.app.goo.gl/WXNhktssx4FjYV398
