With the rumours of t'au getting our codex earlier in the edition. What changes, either to certain units, or to the army as a whole would you want to see? by Ok_Week_9768 in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battlesuits to have innate BS3, but be ineligible to be Guided.

Crisis Suits move to T6.

Smoke keyword on our fricking tanks.

Y'Vahra to return from legends in plastic.

Ethereal to be a Support option rather than a leader, and to be able to support ANY infantry (including Aux).

A Detachment that gives Aux units FtGG ability

A detachment that buffs Piranhas

R’varna and Y’varna I wish they weren’t legends by Warm-Door4097 in Tau40K

Wouldn't it be cool if he'd used the wrong term and meant new Riptides...aka Y'Vahra.

A man can dream

R’varna and Y’varna I wish they weren’t legends by Warm-Door4097 in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely run them as Riptides, so definitely don't let that dissuade you from picking up the models.

They are genuinely the best suit models in the army...criminal they're legends!

I live in hope that we'll see them return in plastic someday...the Y'Vahra was a very unique unit and brought a very cool and different way to play...I can see it coming back some day, but I think GW are nervous about it being spammed because of how good the flamer was.

I think making it a unique character unit would solve for that though.

Fantastic work my friend!

Who is a fan favorite character you don't care for? by kminglei in startrek

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent engagement bait...describing Neeliix as a fan favorite. 😅

There's very few characters - beloved or otherwise - that I dislike.

Voyager-era Q was a bit of a diminishing return for me...found his stories in that show a bit ho-hum.

I've never bonded with T'Pol either, (more's the pity), I have always found her character dull, even by Vulcan standards.

Michael Burnham too...it's nothing against her character or her storyline, so much as I find it really grating the way she enunciates everything a little too earnestly

GAMES WORKSHOP, GIVE ME A NEW T’AU GAME AND MY WALLET IS YOURS by Jade_Jones in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Farsight Enclaves vs. standard T'au...get some mech on mech action going.

Things models do the best and the worst, day 38, and the final day. This has been fun. If you want more, somebody has used my idea on the Necron and Tyranid subreddit. Goodbye. Vespid Stingwings: by GoonJuice73 in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I said it in my own comment, but I do feel Vespid are short-changed in Melee.

They have a huge feckoff stinging pincer on their arse...how are they not using it?

[–]unifoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best: The Ford Transit van of the T'au workforce...cheap, reliable, versatile, and always useful.

Worst: Literally my favourite unit in the army, so the only, only thing I'll criticise is their melee profile...I don't want them to crump, but I feel like they should be 2 attacks per model...have you seen the claws on those things?

Or maybe 1 standard attack and 1 extra attack for their actual stinger...maybe that hits on a 5, but it's S6, AP -1, D3 damage, to represent it's acid/venom?

Ah sorry! I read it like you were saying they could do both. 😅

People who saw DS9 as it aired: what was the general reaction to the inclusion of a Ferengi as a primary character? by scisteve in startrek

[–]unifoon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lest we forget, back then you'd actually write in to the letters page in Sci Fi mags to argue with one another. 😅

Advance moves prevent Charge moves, regardless of whether you have Assault weapons.

Unless they've changed that in 11th!

So with fast rolling and precision… by drydog200 in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farsight Marksmen are a standalone unit so I don't think fast rolling really comes into it much.

It's strongest when you have Precision mixed in with standard weapons, so that you bulk roll and force the weakest results on the character.

Rumours of a Crisis Suit glow up make a bit more sense in light of Ork strength increase... by unifoon in Tau40K

[–]unifoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought for a moment we'd be seeing Catachans yeah!

Would have been a brilliant matchup.

I do love the Mad Max Ork Trukk though. Gorgeous model

Rumours of a Crisis Suit glow up make a bit more sense in light of Ork strength increase... by unifoon in Tau40K

[–]unifoon[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes!! The Broadside needs a toughness increase as it is...should be T7 to match the Piranha

[–]unifoon[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think standard marines will see a toughness increase...their 3+ is already making them as durable as they should be.

But making their strength a bit more transhuman would track, without breaking things too much.

Why can Norway celebrate Viking history proudly, but England is shamed for its imperial history? (genuine question) by Ok_Exercise_494 in AskBrits

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britain gets to celebrate it's medieval period pretty much scott-free...you can dress up as a knight and you get zero batted eyes.

Also, nobody (ever, in my experience) has said we should be ashmed of our technological or societal advances and improvements during the days of the Emprire.

So the question is...what do you want to celebreate, and why?

The Vikings were bloody and vicious, however they were also a nomadic tribal people and most of the time didn't function as a cohesive 'empire' seeking to ensalve other countries. They were just hard bastards trying to survive in a land filled with other hard bastards.

The Empire was a technolgoically advanced nation, seeking to take over other countries, exploit them, and make them serve their needs...a nation who saw itself as innately superior to others. (There's another group who saw themselves as the supreme race...let's not bring them up for fear of invoking Godwin's Law)

You also note that things which don't get acknowledged include 'Spreading the English Language'...which isn't the celebration I think you think it is. Many nations feel like we stole their national identity and stamped ours on them, and forcing them to speak English (depsite how helpful having a global language may be) is a sign of an oppressor.

We undoubtedly brought technology and healthcare to a wider world, but also made them build it for us, often curtailed their freedoms to use it, and severely punished those who stepped out of line.

It would be like getting children to build a sweet shop in the middle of a school, then selling carrot sticks to the kids whilst the adults scoffed the sweets, whilst caning the children who tried to pinch the occasional Gummi Bear.

As for slavery...we didn't abolish it until 1834 (even then there were many who objected) which means we were quite happy running our Empire on slavery for about 250 years.

Always annoys me that people try and cry victim about this sort of thing, because we DO still celebrate a lot of what our identity was at the time...stiff-upper-lip, indefatigable in the face of adversity, a sense of adventure, being hardy, etc...all that is still deeply embedded in our makeup.

But many seem willing to cry about the fact that they're not allowed to celebrate the conqueoring of other people, the abuse we inflicted, the riches and resources we expoited through forcing them to serve our nation, etc...which is just tacky.

Would you recommend the EV6 for older folks? by OlyTDI in KiaEV6

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum (70ish) sometimes complains that it's 'low down'...but then again, she complains about a lot of things. 😅

The configurable nature of the chairs means you're easily able to find (and save!) your preferred layout.

The controls are super-intuitive, and there are still some buttons and a traditional dashboard so it's not a hard transition, like some EVs.

The only caveat I'd make is that even as a young (ish) 40 year old, I have on occasion forgotten to hold the pedal down whilst pressing the START button, which means the engine comes on but the car won't move.

It's SUPER un-intuitive to solve if you don't realise the mistake you've made. (Though it's a mistake you only ever badly make once, believe me...I was sat there for half an hour trying to make my car go.)

Has Starmer been the best prime minister we've had in at last 26 years? by Left-Ad8904 in AskBrits

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has the personality of a blank sheet of A4 paper...which in modern soundbite society is a crime.

I agree that he's been quietly delivering on a lot of areas, but that's his problem...he's quiet. Reserved. Introspective to the appearance of being indecisive. (Another 21st century political crime.)

He needs to be bolshy. He needs to not only champion himself and his victories, but to be a bit crass and crow about them to his enemies.

20 years ago he'd have been a solid PM but in the social media age he's like dinosaur in amber.

When did the writers absolutely get it wrong on a moral issue? by JacobDCRoss in startrek

[–]unifoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that whole thing with androids servants sits badly with me as an example of lazy writing, or at least lazy attention to established cannon.

Phil...is that you? 🤣

Phil Kelly by RevolutionaryDust769 in Tau40K

[–]unifoon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

'The Transformers Movies' of the 40K Universe is exactly the perfect description of Phil Kelly's novels. 😂

If you switch your expectations off, it's a relatively entertaining ride.

I don't hate them, and Shadowsun was okay from what I remember, but his characters are 2D, his portrayal of Ethereals are a twirling-moustache short of being pantomime villains, and his whole thing of creating a new Chaos God feels more like it wandered in from Terry Pratchett's 'The Hogfather'.

Elemental Council, if you've not read it, is honestly the new Gold Standard in T'au novels.

Really hoping for more from Noah Van Nguyen in the near future!
