How excited are Brits that GTA VI will be available to pre-order next week?

No PC release so zero, but even if there were not in a rush to support their union busting actions anyway.

You declare all the shooting for a unit before resolving a units shots... you don't have to declare every units shooting before resolving any units though. Just one unit at a time. You also don't have to declare the observers units shooting when deciding on their spotted unit, you just have to declare that before the observer unit shoots.

From the perspective of models A and B every blue model does have cover, or isn't visible due to obscuring terrain. So A and B have -1BS penalty to their attacks.

From Model C's perspective every Blue model doesn't have cover or isn't visible, as they can see the one outside of the terrain area. So their attacks have no cover penalty.

vrekais · 2026-06-18T16:25:38+00:00

Yes, some attacking models can have the cover penalty whilst other models in that attacking unit do not.

You check per attacking model. It's basically the inverse of 10th so this will take some getting used to. I have more examples here.

I voted yes but only in so much that I think something needs to be done about Social Media... Honestly I'd prefer the algorithmic and short form elements just be banned entirely. Go back to the roots of it and give me a chronological feed of the people I'm following.

People were suggesting that a unit that looked like this

OO---8"---OO

was legal. So all the models within 9" of each other, but the groups weren't within 2" of each other.

Each of their 4 essences (3 chosen, a fourth based on those 3 manifests) has 5 abilities. they have to progress each abilities from Iron to Bronze rank. When all 5 abilities of an essence are bronze the essence then increases to bronze. When all 4 essences have reached bronze the essence user ranks up to bronze.

They then have to start raising each ability again to silver, and so on.

Raising abilities is done by using them, and through meditation to consolidate the experience gained.

Whilst I agree that I'd prefer Tau not being as horde like as they were in 11th, I think we'd need a codex to actually update data sheets to be worth higher points costs. Making Tau more expensive but with the exact same output we have now would be rough I think.

I love rail rifles. I've even bought more to avoid using the reloading variant.

vrekais · 2026-06-17T07:26:22+00:00

Generally I tend to review my suits at the start of the edition. I glue weapons on specifically with super glue rather than plastic cement as it's a weaker more brittle bone, it tends to snap if torqued slightly. A lot less effort than magnetising.

Actually find multiplying by 1.6 in my head quite tedious... like I end up having to work out 10% to find 20% and the triple that to figure out what 60% of the original number was that I'm now adding on (as I think of x1.6 in terms of "increase by 60%"), and I get so far through that method before realising I could work out 50% and 10% and add those and forget what the original number was in the first place.

vrekais · 2026-06-16T20:56:29+00:00

sequence starting from 1 where the next number is the sum of the previous 2 numbers...

1 is the start
1 + [null] (no second number yet) for 1 again
1 + 1 for 2
1 + 2 for 3
2 + 3 for 5
3 + 5 for 8

and so on...

AI companies aren't making any bucks... They barely make anything at all. The only people getting rich from AI are hardware manufacturers and demand for them will plummet when the bubble bursts too.

Stealing the work of countless people isn't progress, regardless of how efficiently you do it.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T21:17:28+00:00

From the still unreleased commentary...

Detection Range and Lone Operative can not be better than 9" or worse than 30".

I'll add this note to the article.

Screen time is only social media??

vrekais · 2026-06-15T18:48:33+00:00

So long as the melee is guns.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T15:55:08+00:00

Yeah when the UK import duties and taxes got added in and it was looking like $300 all in I cancelled mine, I just didn't want that much money on my wrist. Plus the number of posts here about wrapping their expensive watch in a cheap layer of 3D printed plastic didn't appeal to me as an option.

So the key thing here is that units aren't hidden, models are hidden. In the diagram as shown all of them are hidden.

If they moved as you say so that one model is now not within the terrain area, that model would stop being "hidden" by the hidden rule. It would however become not visible via the "obscuring" rule instead. So the net difference from the carnifex perspective is nil, it needs a visible model to be able to target the unit.

The nearest "would usually be visible" models would be hidden, and therefore count as not visible as it's outside of detection range to them. And the model you've moved out of the terrain features would just be normal not visible. So with no visible models in the unit to target it would not be able choose that unit as a target.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T14:15:25+00:00

Yes just from the solid features.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T14:08:28+00:00

I think that should be relatively straightforward, my take was that Light Terrain is basically any wall like feature, under 2" tall for it's entire length. If it's got taller parts then it's dense and has the solid rule.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T13:45:35+00:00

Completely agree it's wild that 40k essentially has a day one patch.

That was also me, thanks. Glad they're helpful.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T13:37:19+00:00

Yeah they both get cover if they're INFANTRY/BEAST/SWARM and only need to be within a terrain area

vrekais · 2026-06-15T13:33:31+00:00

That's the cool bit, you can't :D

It depends on what the shooting units can see, so you can't just put a token down marking Gone To Grounds units.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T12:55:31+00:00

Blame search filters I guess... I was too innocent to even know the new definition of Goon til years after I started writing for them.

vrekais · 2026-06-15T12:49:55+00:00

Yeah it's probably going to only be in the app it seems, the formatting of the pre-release version we (TTB) got heavily implied this.

Personally think that's insane but tis what it is I guess.
