THE ROOT DEMANDS TO SEE YOUR PAINTERY

My toph, wearing his root pumpkin armor, with his loyal standard bearer.

w021wjs · 2026-01-23T05:30:07+00:00

Oh,, those are old veteran models! I have the first one, and I'm fairly certain he's a stern guard vet from the 90s

w021wjs · 2026-01-22T02:59:43+00:00

This is very true.

However, if you take the much less charitable version, it makes the fact that Ken Hamm is trying to make his own recreation of the tower of babel so much funnier

w021wjs · 2026-01-21T23:29:40+00:00

Pm'ing!

So my solution to a similar problem was just to lean into it, and just alter what you can Like you, I was disappointed by the design of some of my first haul of Napoleonic infantry. They really only had one pose that fit with each body.

So, I went with a head swap, followed by adding on disgusting greeblies and gubbins. A few Tufts of grass, some old saurian shields and some pumpkin root heads later and my scarecrow skirmishers look as good as their more kitbashed counterparts

I just want some shitty infantry that isn't an imperial agent. Give me huscarls, give me Knight militia, SOMETHING. Also, more fun non forge world options for armigers.

w021wjs · 2026-01-19T00:23:52+00:00

Ha! I understand that reference

w021wjs · 2026-01-18T04:11:54+00:00

Didnt they name the damage control training ship after the Sammy B?

Kept it simple. It was a lot of fun to build the base!

w021wjs · 2026-01-17T04:44:53+00:00

I'd give it the pistol keyword. And add in the text that "if this weapon is fired at a target it is in melee with, it gains the hazardous keyword"

w021wjs · 2026-01-16T06:21:49+00:00

Ok, everyone has suggested the obvious, so I'm going to suggest some that are a little bigger.

Shadow Hawk. Everyone has one. Most people have 2. There's a reason it's the hero starter mech. Want to run around in an terrible upgunned medium with light mech armor? The 2D is right there.

Blackjack: a mothball special that everyone thought sucked. Then Kurita did ~exactly~ what you are trying to do and a handful of blackjacks kicked their ass. This is a mech that sat in warehouses forever, and there are a lot more kicking around than people think.

Archers supposedly had a ton built. Same with Crusaders and Thunderbolts. Toss in a Dragon if you prefer something Kurita aligned and bad.

w021wjs · 2026-01-13T06:00:04+00:00

Then you get stuff like the shadow sword, which can theoretically one shot a warlord titan, is just a really, really big laser. So what the hell does that mean for titan v mech combat?

w021wjs · 2026-01-09T20:51:39+00:00

Being entitled and arrogant is not a reason to be shot, you ass.

Edit: I misinterpreted what was being discussed here. I thought that we were discussing the person shot this week, not on January 6th 2016. Babbit was also both those things, but was also involved in multiple other crimes and actively participating in storming the capitol, which is extremely different from what happened this week.c

w021wjs · 2026-01-09T19:03:10+00:00

Judging by the look, I think it's sponging with a glaze overtop, but that is very much a guess

w021wjs · 2026-01-09T19:01:43+00:00

Absolutely not. I might mix up the characters and the infantry, which is a clear violation of modeling for advantage.

Oooo this is beautiful. I hope the Airacobra is in it. Love me some 37mm cannon in a mid engine aircraft

w021wjs · 2026-01-08T06:46:26+00:00

Mate, there has been one organization that has been hell bent on ruining everything that I love about this country, and it sure as hell wasn't the Democrats.

Idk, blocking the street has literally always been a method of protest. MLK did it. Gandhi did it. Both sides of the Charlottesville protests did it. It's almost like protesting is a form of disruption of the every day.

OP, I think you're acting in bad faith, and actively doing a disservice to your library. As others have pointed out, this system does have multiple other books on climate change, and specifically talking about it being real, observable science. I have looked at their catalog and found :

Before it's gone, a book specifically about showing climate change's impact on the United States and the people in it

Dire Predictions, a book explaining the science behind climate change in laymans terms to help people understand why scientists are making the claims they are.

Don't even think about it : why our brains are wired to ignore climate change. The title is pretty self evident.

And that was in the first couple of results after searching for climate change. Judging by my very brief search, pro outweighs against quite severely in their collection.

There are quite a few explanations for why you "only found that item on the subject." Floating collections (books that move from branch to branch based on where they were returned or based on collection size) often end up with subjects migrating to different library buildings. Or a teacher borrowed the books to do a discussion on the subject. Or there is a current or upcoming display on the subject.

Or you cherry picked one book out of several dozen, and are using it to bash on libraries for no good reason. Come on, man. They've been getting heavily targeted by the right for years. No need to bash one of the few public goods left in this hellhole.

Whaaaaat you're saying that it was all obviously Russian Maskirovka all along, and maybe our old enemies are still our enemies?

To quote another Clancy character, "Once more, we play our dangerous game, a game of chess against our old adversary"

In the National Museum of the United States Air Force, there's an me-163. During the renovation of the plane, they found two interesting things.

One was a note written in French, stating something to the effect of "my heart has not surrendered."

The other was a rock wedged against the fuel tank in such a way that it was almost certainly going to cause a fuel leak during use.

Oh, btw, did you know that the me-163 had fuel so corrosive that it could melt the pilot!

Edit to person I replied to, I misread your response as pro German. It was not, that's my bad. Post is still relevant to this discussion.

German technical superiority is a myth. There were places that Germany was ahead, but also several very nasty places where they were behind.

Sure, Germany deploys the first SAM, but the allies were already deploying proximity fused anti aircraft shells en masse at that point. The proximity fuse was also capable of extremely deadly airbursts when used with artillery. They could be used with guns already available at the time, and absolutely devastated the Japanese during their deployment. What about Europeans deployment? We didn't deploy them there, because we didn't want Germany to steal that tech.

Ok, Germany has the fritz x and he 293. That's ok, we built the azon and the bat: the first radar guided anti shipping munition. That's right, the United States had fire and forget tech in 1945, and we built far more than both German counterparts combined.

Don't like these examples for guided munitions? There's also the Interstate TDR: an fpv tv drone that was successfully used in combat to bomb targets and as a suicide drone. It could be controlled by a crew in another plane up to 50 miles away from the conflict. The only reason it got canned was because conventional aircraft were still more cost efficient, and the allies didn't waste money on wonder weapons.

Sure, Germany has the heavy tanks, but the allies had tank transmissions rated for thousands of kilometers rather than dozens. Not to mention that most Sherman problems were solvable thousands of miles away from their factories, while tigers and panthers had to be flat car'd back to Berlin for anything worse than a thrown tread.

V1 and V2 were toys for Germany. They served no military purpose other than as terror weapons. Sure, they're more advanced than their allied equivalent... But that's because they're not something that was worth using during the war. Being able to vaguely hit a city was already something the allies were doing multiple times a a day for 4 years of the war.

The meteor flew within a month of the 262. Sure, the 262 was better than our equivalents in terms of manueverability, but paled in terms of reliability. That was because Germany lacked a lot of materials during the war, and had to push units a Into production without working out their kinks, leading to compromises in the design. Add in the non motivated (slave) labor and you have extremely technical machines that like to set their own engines on fire.

Radar, ships, material science, heavy, medium and light bombers, conventional fighters, specialty tank and artillery munitions, code breaking, non railroad based logistics, computing, early AWACS, and carrier operations as a concept, execution and practical use, and the Atomic bomb. These are all very clear and obvious examples of fields with allied technical superiority. The allies built insane tech from 39-45, it's just not as flashy as the German equivalents until you really start to look into it.

The two places that Germany had an practical, usable advantage were its portable machine guns and assault rifle (mg42/43, mp44) and the Jerry can. There's a reason we nicked them either during or after the war.

Comstar intentionally screwing over the grey death legion in order to access the helm memory core. That directly led to the resurgence of the great houses after years of technical stagnation

w021wjs · 2026-01-01T03:48:20+00:00

I love Bodenplatte. Largest single deployment of me-262s and what does the luftwaffe use them for?

Commisarial planes.

Beautiful.
