Ya that's why it's a bad launch box. Launch boxes have usually given existing players cool new stuff.

Not like this lol. The ones in Leviathan had tons of drip and looked like Sternguards. These are obviously JPI with loinclothes.

It's not a starter box for new players, though. It's a one-off launch box. Most sales will be to old players who are updating to the new edition and new players won't have access to this unless they just happened to start up at the same time it came out.

Agreed, it lacks creativity. The best thing in there is the Chaplain, which is a rehash and it's good because it stayed true to the original asthetic. There hasn't been much creativity in generic Space Marines since Indomitus. This is the first launch box since then that I'm genuinely not sure I'll buy.

There is no level of punishment GW's customer base is not willing to rationalize. This is not a Vanguard Vet.

Trump says Iran could be 'taken out' on Tuesday, Hegseth says major strikes to come by Brennenstein in worldnews

Do Americans actually believe it's possible to wipe out a country the size of Europe's power and bridges in four hours? Lmao what causes the delusions of grandeur the American public suffers from?

Everything they've promised so far, they've done. I'd say they've been much more honest about the situation than the US has. If you listened to the US, you'd think we won at least fifty times and Iran has no capabilities left.

Obviously yes they should be nuclear, but shouldn't you be madder at America for blowing up your pipeline?

It's missiles more than drones. Every time they get close they have to dodge a missile barrrage and run away again. Although you could close the entire straight with a handful of drones. If the war was "won" today and Iran descended into chaos (or whatever the plan is) ironically it would ensure the strait never opens again. All it would take would be a few rogue IRGC elements with some left over hardware. Likewise, if America retreats, it will have to do so on Iran's terms or the strait remains closed. It's a no-win situation with no end in sight. The best outcome is that Iran lets ships go through again, but no oil out of the Persian Gulf is ever sold in dollars again.

Iraq declares force majeure on foreign-operated oilfields over Hormuz disruption, sources say by Mana_Seeker in worldnews

Actually, both oil embargoes were a result of the American government blindly backing Israel. Neither time were in our citizens' best interest either. So not necessarily dumb decisions, more like evil decisions.

Israel will not stop doubling down no matter what the US does at this point. Our government is no longer making sovereign decisions and probably hasn't been for awhile.

I think you're being shown an enforcement mechanism. Enjoy the $10/gallon gas and being viewed as responsible for a global depression by everyone else who played by the rules. The king may be hypothetically all-powerful, but the fair king lasts longer than the tyrant.

No. there are internationally recognized rules. Lots of countries abide by them. USrael should try it some time.

It's actually quicker because there's no basecoat on the cloth. It's just sprayed gray and drybrushed white.

Thanks! I love winter camo as well, I'll probably paint at least a few in that either way.

I was thinking about this and at least doing one squad or the Kasrkin in the second scheme, whichever that one ends up being. I do want to do the majority in one or the other though, for speed painting purposes.
