Christ that was a weird game. I fought crimson fists primaris backed up by a stormtalon, missile devs and las centurions and after rolling utter trash for all of round 1 I won the game having only lost the repulsor, an intercessor squad and 4 terminators. It was one of those games where you go from exasperated at how badly things are going to feeling bad about crushing your opponent into the dirt.

The 'Feminist 40k' page on Facebook is a loving goldmine for grogs pissing and crying about the womz. That people post that poo poo with their real names and poo poo fully on display is magical.

There is a big difference between "I want inclusion" and crazy-feminist-manhater. Plus he is wrong, modern intersection feminism wants to segregate us based on race. Or was that the Russians tricking us into getting Trump elected? Hard to say.

We've got a live one:quote:The idea that guys are driving women away from the hobby is absurd. The nature of the game and lore itself is exactly the kind of thing guys like us love but women typically have little or no interest in, and that's fine. Altering the fluff and models in order to be inclusive would be a disaster. OUR HOBBY!!!

SteelMentor posted:Patriarch It may be a technically, but it also helps give their roster a massive fluff-up even after the nerf. It's also easier to mod the models to look under the influence of the Cult than it is to, say, make Imperium units look like AdMech, while also preserving faction cohesion. They also have a transport, which Admech don't.

'Postmodernists'? 80s/90s 40k was pretty loving postmodern if memory serves. I mean, the Imperium is basically if Foucault's Discipline & Punish was taken as an instruction manual.

Funnily enough, a lot of the fash types I've encountered love the poo poo out of Fantasy more than 40k. If there's one good thing AoS did, it seemed to have scared a lot of them off.

They take a single college class and they think they're experts on everything. I live and go to college in Orange County, CA which is pretty heavily conservative. I can't tell you the amount of people that come from conservative backgrounds that go to a history class and have their worldview shattered then spend the rest of the semester smugly countering everyone with bullshit arguments they got off youtube. This is what perpetuates that notion of "teachers are brainwashing us into liberals!"

I'm still fully down with the idea that Leman Russ was always a woman, and Imperial history is trying desperately to forget it and hope she doesn't come back and lay waste to it. If only because of how  the image of a woman in terminator armor breaking a whiny MRA-Primarch over her knee is.

I dug out my Night Lords models and decided to see how many points everything is worth. I've got roughly 1300 points, and the only detachment I can actually make is a Patrol. gently caress. I haven't played since 4th edition, so everything was built around the old Force Organization charts. I could get another HQ, split a CSM squad and have a battalion I guess. I am also lacking in nearly any kind of anti-armor. My lone Predator isn't going to cut it on it's own. I built this army for speed and fighting mass infantry (mainly my buddy's Orks).

I mean, Magnus was arguably the least goony neckbeard and/or entitled whiny edgelord of all of the nine that fell to Chaos. That's saying something. Except maybe Angron. That dude was just really loving angry.
