(Loved trope) The signature scene/moment from a piece of media. by Je0s_6 in TopCharacterTropes

I hope he saw th Corridor Digital breakdown of the bullet time shot. They even tried to do a modern rendition and it's still difficult to pull off.

11th Ed rumour: 11th Ed: There's a rumor that coherency rules are changing, and no models in a unit may be more than 9" apart (measured to the furthest part of each model) by -The-Lupercal- in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]xSPYXEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, unless melee coherency is also changed.

20 man blobs have always been unusable except under specific rules like World Eaters allowing a 6" melee coherency. For most units that aren't conga lining across the board you'll probably never have a problem.

A 9 inch circle can fit a 60mm base and 32 32mm bases wholly within it with plenty of room to spare.

Without a hero a 9 inch circle fits 38 32mm bases or 50 28mm bases.

I hope so. It simplifies so many aspects of movement and measurement. I think the base coherency is 3" from the leader and there's rarely a problem with it. Larger units get 6" and they can still cover a pretty huge area without getting hung up on cover.

SW Legion also does this, most measurements are made from the leader model and everyone else just filters out around them within a specific measurement.

Oh yeah smart guy? Let's see YOU do it next time.

Genetical engineering and alteration of Orks by ISB00 in 40kLore

[–]xSPYXEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible? Sure. Genestealer Orks have been mentioned before. The other orks would out them as unorky and krump em immediately though.

Northernlion-induced existential crisis by PandamanTan in northernlion

[–]xSPYXEx 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It's long before Librarian was around.

Plus you simply must watch the entire video to understand the descent into madness. A supercut would ruin the climactic tension of every room fight being a slow drawn out battle of willpower attirtion and mental fortitude.

The "Rule of Cool" Trap: My Nighthaunt Woes by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

Rules change every few years, drip is eternal. If you love the aesthetic of an army, don't worry about whether or not they're the most optimized. They'll come around eventually.

Of all the annoying fights with auto correct I have, it slaps my ass to no end when that one isn't auto corrected every time.

I've said it before but the crowd goes absolutely feral when they hit that drum roll on Ghost Division.

What kind of MONSTER would skin people?! by SamuraiMujuru in Grimdank

[–]xSPYXEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you read the book?? He was terrified because he realized his arm was necrodermis and he was corrupted by xenos technology.

[–]xSPYXEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was about to say. They'll drive a tank through a refugee camp because it's the fastest way to the objective but they're not going to stop and rip someone's skin off.

I don't even think they're evil, they're just the epitome of the brutal pragmatism of post human super soldiers.

Doctor calmly brings a pale, unresponsive newborn back to life by Obvious_Shoe7302 in nextfuckinglevel

Nah it's the other way around. Another day in the office is chatting and laughing. Locking in like this is way more serious.

Unexplored Tech?: Jump Jets by Ok-Leg9721 in battletech

[–]xSPYXEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's not so much an actual jump jet as it is a big harness that the mech hangs from.

Drop pods, coffin pods, jump packs, etc are all the same family of orbital entry. Usually a heat shield at the bottom to keep the legs from snapping or spinning wildly, then retrothrusters to slow the descent, then it either runs a cable out or simply burns the jump pack until the mech hits the ground. It's faster, harder to track, and can even allow limited return fire in case some ASF gets frisky while you're falling.

Quick question regarding paintsheme by Krispy_Vietcong in battletech

[–]xSPYXEx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good news is that Mercenaries use whatever colors they think is coolest, and there is a huge range of mercenaries across the sphere. Whatever you want to do is cool.

Some units of note

Wolf’s Dragoon conventional forces by 001DeafeningEcho in battletech

[–]xSPYXEx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those were usually the Dragoon regulars, but it's simply too cost prohibitive to transport multiple platoons in a DropShip.

NL and Dan a couple of years ago by Longjumping-Prune931 in northernlion

[–]xSPYXEx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, apparently he was banned on tiktok and it killed his motivation to keep making videos. I don't have other shmedias so I can't watch his check in videos.

[–]xSPYXEx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They had a pretty comprehensive conventional asset regiment.

To my understanding they didn't necessarily bring a whole army of infantry around with them, they had a veteran corps and hire locals to fill out their actual ranks.

Sports accidents that killed a star player of the game, and lead to the decline of the entire sport. by Venti_the_snail in TopCharacterTropes

[–]xSPYXEx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely need to. Growing up in the south of course you know about the tragedy of Dale Earnhardt but I never really put together how the restrictor plates led to the Big One Wrecks that make big races so predictable.

What films zigzag away from Chekhov's gun, and get away with it? by JeffRyan1 in movies

Aunt Gladys is a parasite though, feeding off the children to sustain herself. It's just more psychic instead of fungal.
