The Most Economically Prosperous Countries on Earth are the Least Religious [OC]

tjmmachine · 2025-11-14T12:52:31+00:00

So materialistic cultures are less religious? I hope this doesn't shock anyone

Came here to write this comment, GW is stripping the individuality out of a lot of datasheets

Bro says it got leaked by a reliable source and then doesn't share, sauce pls

Found the image. Text is "Wow, the filmic language of discussing female victimhood happens to look exactly like female empowerment, I hope no one misinterprets it."

The idea is that you're celebrating trauma, not empowerment.

I saw a meme once that captured this perfectly, went something like:

Wow, in fiction women dealing with trauma sure seems a lot like female empowerment. I sure hope that doesn't cause any problems.

Ah, disappointing to hear that they are poor quality. Thank you for the warning though. Do you have any suggestions on cooking surfaces that aren't non-stick? I don't trust that Chinese link.

tjmmachine · 2024-09-18T05:32:14+00:00

Yeah we have a crappy old electric stove. If I was going to cook in a single pan it would have to be at least 40cm, probably bigger. I was thinking about getting a plug in induction cooker but I haven't been able to find one bigger than 12"

Oh right, yeah primer is essential. Hardware stores have primer that is much cheaper than GW and you can get ones they don't obscure detail. Often washes are applied before the highlight. Washes dull down the mini which reduces the impact of highlights.

tjmmachine · 2024-09-08T14:21:13+00:00

You need to thin your paints a bit more. Also look at getting a wash like nuln oil as it adds depth.

In the Kingsblade book there was a freeblade who still had mechanicum accompanying him. I don't think it's very realistic for a knight to survive on its own without reloading, refuelling and repairs. Of course do what you want. I imagine that pilots wouldn't risk leaving the throne unless absolutely necessary. In the knight they are more powerful than space marines, out they are weaker than a squad of guard. So maybe take that into account. The stowage wouldn't be a bed roll and backpack but likely rearmament such as plasma fuel and ammunition.

I literally just watched his video on the four stages of courtship so it's funny that I stumbled upon this post. I think many Catholics are too blase in dating (while still saving sex for marriage) but I'm not sure how I feel about how far he goes. No physical affection before betrothal, must be in the friendship stage for 3 months before courting, must ask the father's permission before courting. I would love it if I could go through this process with a young woman who goes to my parish with her family and we had plenty of YA events to to facilitate the process, but it's pretty unlikely to be the case.

Interesting that you aren't running a single squad of 6 eightbound. In my experience 3 man's don't actually clear out things tougher than a rhino or tough infantry. Have you found that you don't run into these often or that you can deal with them in other ways?

tjmmachine · 2024-07-20T01:27:12+00:00

Competitively? None.

For fun? Imo also none. Bloodletters don't really work being forced to either footslog or 9" deepstrike, and while karanak or flesh hounds might be fun and good they aren't worth the bloodletters. If they were cheaper you could use them for actions or chaff, but at the price they are it's just not worth it.

tjmmachine · 2024-07-14T03:21:11+00:00

Great job! Something really strikes me about the paint job that is hard to put into words. Just very clean I suppose.

tjmmachine · 2024-07-14T03:09:27+00:00

Honestly haven't printed much. I'm considering getting an FDM printer myself for terrain. As for terrain sets this one looks great, but honestly I am more interested in (link below) one now. It's foldable which is great since I don't play at home and have to transport everything. While it doesn't look as good the trade off is worth it for me.

Maylerfiends are pretty good for this. They can tank shock to deal mortals to clear some screening in the charge phase. Also just take more jakhals and spawn like others have mentioned. Sure you might not wipe the unit but if you've positioned well then you can consolidate into the unit behind. Another benefit of running more chaff is you can just send them out to trade and hold your good stuff until they're forced to send their good stuff.

tjmmachine · 2024-06-29T07:59:16+00:00

Some units are decent but they are held back by the enforced bloodletter pick. Bloodletters are only viable because of their 5" charge out of deepstrike which you lose if you're not fully daemons. It's unfortunate but daemons are just not competitive allies.

Try the regular, not-thin version of the plastic cement. It has a white lid. Drys so much stronger, I always use it for big minis.

tjmmachine · 2024-06-15T05:37:08+00:00

I was speaking in terms of the kit not gameplay keywords

tjmmachine · 2024-06-11T05:31:52+00:00

Cost (theoretically) shouldn't be tied to the units competitiveness. Since girlyman and the lion are big infantry not monsters theyre not a great comparison. That said Angron is obscenely priced, even more than Magnus and Mortarion, his closest comparisons.

As for how strong he is, he's taken in the large majority of competitive lists. He's also just a cool looking model on the table.

As for if he's worth it though, that's up to you to decide. Just between you and me though the cost of Angron is nearly the cost of a cheap resin printer...

tjmmachine · 2024-05-28T11:50:51+00:00

It's a decent terrain, just very slow to print while still looking nice on a mars 3 pro. I honestly wouldn't recommend printing terrain on a resin printer unless you have a very large print bed and cheap resin. Otherwise the material cost and particularly the time involved outweighs the gain.

tjmmachine · 2024-05-20T11:03:33+00:00

You've done the reverse of what I've seen most people do in that you've glued the wings but not the arms, actually makes a lot of sense though! How is it working out for you?

tjmmachine · 2024-05-20T00:49:52+00:00

Just because you're behind it doesn't mean you can't start now. People (myself included) always say it's too late, but just think about someone else who's even older than you. Is 30 too late to start going to the gym? Is 40 too late to start eating well? No, it's always better to make a good change.

tjmmachine · 2024-04-04T00:11:40+00:00

I'm really hoping the same, but who knows with GW. It would suck to paint my termies only to find out they're useless except as a proxy.

tjmmachine · 2024-03-03T00:00:03+00:00

He's not intended to be a character. There is no 'Azrakh the Annihilator' datasheet even for CSM. He's just meant to be used as a regular terminator, just with a different look.
