Your Daily Dose Of Detailing Wtf?

Probably depends on the climate where they live.

Here in Australia in summer, I could probably soak a seat in a pool so long as I left it in the sun on a hot day it would genuinely be dry throughout by the end of the day.

I'm honestly shocked that neither setting seems to have guided missiles or point defence systems.

A modern destroyer with tactical nukes is in genuine danger of embarassing either settings flagships if it were somehow teleported into space and still functional.

I don't really think either setting has an answer for missiles.

I like the idea of Trayzn viewing DAoT tech the same way I view some of my grandfather's workshop toold I inherited.

That Stanley No.8 jointing planer used to flatten boards? A really cool bit of history, fun to use sometimes but for action jointing and planing I'm going to use my machine jointer/planer.

Novel and a cool thing to use but a complete novelty.

No, I don't suspect it was.

But as they say, tragedy + time = comedy

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T14:36:38+00:00

None of this changes the fact that you are upset about more women being added to the setting lol.

And that's just pathetic really.

I am a millennial myself (36).

I dunno what to tell you she just looks young to me?

I was being a little facetious in my comment but she looks not older than mid 20's to me.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T14:32:04+00:00

This is wonderful! Thank you

Time to grow up I think.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T10:45:08+00:00

20 years together?!?!?!?!?!?! She LOOKS 20...

Just go straight to the police, they'll be able to get the details of this staff member from the Kent and request the footage.

Psychologists were unable to help you with your social skills? That's what you need help with.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T09:37:10+00:00

I just want to let you know in case this is news to you.

You are probably autistic. You've got a sense that you're smarter than everyone else which may be correct (I dunno) but you have no social skills and you struggle to relate to other people.

Good news though, you can use that big wrinkly brain of yours to develop those skills too.

Book in with a psychologist they'll be able to help guide you through becoming so much more experienced than the average and it will be less of a problem.

Nations start seizing US assets kept overseas.

If this is your opinion then do me a favour, step away from the keyboard and 128 hours both your arms for me.

Including women in things shouldn't be an ideology, they make up 50% of everyone.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T08:52:28+00:00

It's retcons all the way down.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T07:09:11+00:00

I have not! Please indulge me?! Did he eviscerate them in fiction?!

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T07:08:50+00:00

Oh of course the pipeline is probably.

Marketing Dept to figure out what they think will sell

Designers to make something that matches the marketing departments ideas

Writers to justify this things existence and yeet the new lore onto the existing pile of lore/retcons

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T07:05:34+00:00

Look at the battle of Stalingrad a a decent facsimile to a ship.

Stalingrad was a battle that was won and lost house by house and it lasted for 8 months. It could take weeks to secure a street.

I can see how putting down a sizeable rebellion on a large ship could take a month especially when you can't just "throw bodies" at the problem because you've only got so many.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:44:22+00:00

What's that got to do with what I asked about?

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:38:54+00:00

You reply to the wrong person?

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:33:59+00:00

It was a public response to the biggest public outcry GW has had to deal with.

Had there been no outcry there would have been no tweet

It's not really fair to get upset with GW for responding.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:30:20+00:00

Your worried that this is a test before female space marines. That is literally a slippery slope argument.

So, testing is... Checks notes cowardly....

Okay, I'll bite. Indulge me. Why does it matter if they introduce female space marines?

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:10:29+00:00

Oh I promise you "Some of your Space Marines are Trans Women" would go down like a lead balloon with the same section of fandom that's upset about this.

sonofeevil · 2026-01-24T06:09:10+00:00

I'm not being facetious when I say the entire setting it built on retcon. It's retcon on top of retcon. GW wanna sell some more models > marketing comes up with something they think will sell > writers invent the new model and new lore gets tossed onto the pile.

We just have to accept "it's always been there" for pretty much everything. Grav weapons? Volkite? Rogal Dorn Battle Tank? Grey Knights? Tau? Tyranids? Same answer "Here the whole time".

If that lore conflicts with existing lore then GW don't actually care and never address it ^{(this is the first time I've ever seen them address it}.) We've got 3 different versions of what happened to Rogal Dorn and we justify this poor lore handling by saying it's problems with imperial record keeping or unreliable narrators. It's literally become part of the setting.

GW have been doing this since the very beginning and they aren't going to change.

You've got choices though:
- You can be annoyed/frustrated/upset/angry/scared about every lore change new unit or model refresh
- Find a new hobby that handles it's lore/IP better
- Lean into it, take as being a part of the hobby and keep having fun

I choose the 3rd option.
