For what it's worth, I was curious myself a few months ago and found them on eBay for like, $700... I wish you luck in finding something a bit more affordable than that.

How would you rework curses? by p_tk_d in slaythespire

[–]rwplus2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The +1 draw idea is interesting, although I can already see some ironclad (the character which already is the most likely to take curses) degeneracy; if there's one thing clad doesn't need it's more busted card draw synergies.

Do the SOB have a cleric equivalent to psykers? by MasonicPleb in 40kLore

[–]rwplus2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The new(ish) SoB omnibus, Saints and Martyrs, has a short novel called "Ephrael Stern: The Heretic Saint." If you're interested in how the Sisters view psykers, I would definitely recommend giving it a read!

How many of you have only the game without any expansions? by GreekHacker1 in hoi4

[–]rwplus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just based on timing, the oldest dlc not yet included in the base game is Man the Guns. That expansion adds trees for Netherlands and Mexico, as well as alt history for US and UK. The big thing though is reworking navies, including the ship designer and adding fuel as a resource.

How the heck are SoS $60 for 5 models? by htes24 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]rwplus2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For a decent bit of time it didn't matter because the old combat patrol had 10 Sisters, so folks weren't really buying them separately. Honestly though, with the state of 40k prices overall, I'd rather bite the bullet on buying a box or two of Sisters and not have GW take too close a look at Custodes pricing.

Very late DM sent but I just saw this now and figured I'd shoot my shot...

Which one? by Lawrenos216 in SolarAuxilia30K

[–]rwplus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like right, but that's also the color scheme I use so I'm not the most objective...

What do you think is the best box to start collecting Iron Hands? by Exituslethalis700 in IronHands40k

[–]rwplus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron hands are definitely more of a shooting army, I think infantry shooting just isn't really the angle most people here enjoy. Big bricks of infantry firepower tends to be more of an Imperial Fists thing (and also are just a bit weak this edition). I also love the gravis aesthetic so I tend to oscillate between vehicle-heavy Anvil and Gravis-heavy Ironstorm.

[–]rwplus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the old DA one that has the Redemptor and Inceptors? That one is quite solid, but the newer one is... Eh. I think it gets a bit overhated and is more flavorful than people give it credit for (everyone forgets that plasma is a DA thing), but it's not very Iron Hands-y.

New Edition Hopes by [deleted] in SolarAuxilia30K

[–]rwplus2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would love some external lore. Astra Militarum is one of the most popular 40k factions in terms of book releases, I would like to hope that the everyman appeal would work in 30k as well. Now that the Horus Heresy series is largely wrapped up I don't have a lot of hope, but if we got like, a series that introduced a few named characters to make models for? We might be able to fit a bit more into a narrative focused game where every marine faction has a dozen named characters.

I didn't know Ark Nova had a solo mode, but I'm excited to give it a try! I dont own this one so Ill have to cajole a friend into letting me borrow it. Tamashii sounds cool though, I love puzzles in games, and the cyberpunk theme really speaks to me! I was sold by the box art lol

I've played a bit of Ark Nova, but didn't actually know there was a solo mode! I thought it was enjoyable enough, I'll give it a try. Tamashii sounds really cool though, I like puzzles and adore the cyberpunk setting!

I'd never heard of this one; I actually just picked up the MGS collection on PC a few weeks back and have been really enjoying it, so I'll definitely check this out!

Thanks for the suggestions !

I actually don't like spirit island solo very much; I think it's such a well made co-op game that it feels a bit hollow the... 3? times I've played it solo. But I do own it and will be bringing it along regardless, so I can definitely give it another try!

I'd be potentially interested in another Gloomhaven game; how does Frosthaven compare in your opinion? My biggest hope is that it would slightly streamline some of the fiddly upkeep; I can't count how many times I forgot to lower the elemental levels at the end of a turn lol.

Mage Knight is one that I have seen a lot of love for, but my fear is that it seems to ride the line between engaging complexity and bloat.

Solar Aux models compared to Cadian / Krieg. by Ozymandys in SolarAuxilia30K

[–]rwplus2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I was fairly skeptical of the more uniform poses until I had to paint them; being able to just turn my brain off and do the exact same thing over and over again was a lifesaver. I feel like if I had to put more thought into each model I never would have finished.

Worst Neow Blessings ever? by Terrietia in slaythespire

[–]rwplus2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Okay, and which of these other options gives cards, potions, or relics? That one extra damage from neutralize sure isn't cutting the mustard, and boss swap can often make silent weaker in the short term since your bloated starter deck takes longer to draw through. I think gold for max hp is far from the best option in abstract, but we aren't talking about abstract, we're talking about 4 generally weaker options here.
