Pendent posted:I actually went back to look at your post history in this thread for some reason and you have plenty of perfectly reasonable posts. It's just the super inflammatory stuff that derails the thread for days at a time that's getting really old. AoS is still understandably a really hard topic for a lot of old fantasy players and what you view as just joking around is really just reopening old wounds for people. Likewise you've posted some pretty weird poo poo generally related to third party models that has not been taken particularly well. Lmao he has 17 pages of posts in this thread and started posting Jan 17th 2018. 17 pages of posts in 107 days. Here are some of his great contributions to the chat: Neurolimal posted:As much a reputation as 4chan rightly has, tradgames has a surprisingly large community of not-idiots. It also has 14 year olds and its own share of weirds but that comes with the territory of being a free anonymous forum on the same site as alt nazis and memelords. Neurolimal posted:Apologies for interrupting actual game chat, but I was curious where Tau story/lore currently is? Last time I checked during the GW Dark Age they seemed obsessed with giving them really sloppy pointless grimdark aspects, which alienated me from them. Neurolimal posted:I think it would make for a neat story where some radical chaos eldar are trying to warn Nurgle that Isha is telling her followers cure for diseases behind his back, and it turning out that he already knows and is part of the reason he loves her; he's not the god of mindless destruction moreso than stagnation, and it wouldn't be any fun for him if any of his diseases managed to kill everyone for good. On the "two sides of the same coin" note, perhaps Isha could even have stockholm for Nurgle, having seen him create endlessly elaborate parasitic 'life'. Neurolimal posted:There do exist people who get really weird about any boobplate/breasts/nudity at all, who kind of missed the point on why people complained about that stuff in the first place. Neurolimal posted:Sorry if I insulted an army you like? I never knew anything about GK before Ward started focusing on them, and I'm sure that was the case for plenty of people. No need to get angry about someone reading an accessible wiki to catch up on stuff they've missed. Neurolimal posted:Is my brain just making up the concept that GK are rumored to be heavily comprised of librarians from traitor chapters that refused to defect/traitor geneseed that resisted corruption? If not then that would be neat for them to lean into; units of basically more-prestigious Blackshields that are survival-of-the-fittest'd into their chaos resistance. You could even reverse the "super immunity marines" concept and have them specialized in converting traitors (plenty of book material for a grey knight and a chaos librarian trying to convert each other) with their force of will and faith (...and their ability to relate to each other via shared traitor chapter history, plot twist!) Neurolimal posted:It's an interesting idea, no reason to froth over it being written down on a wiki you dont like. He wouldn't be the first Custodes to be operating outside the group, he and his chapter are Terra-based, and the spear is a pretty decent jumping point even if it's not 100% concrete. Neurolimal posted:Yeah, Custodes were explicitly supposed to be post-crusade Primarchs, being exemplars of scholastic and artistic pursuits that aren't created by stealing warp power and shooting it into babies. After the crusade the primarchs were to 'retire'. Neurolimal posted:At least fluffwise Space Wolves are pretty clearly the closest legion on the loyalist side to being Bad Guys in 30k Neurolimal posted:Yeah that's why I edited that out. For whatever reason I assumed they had faction splits into Aeldari, Drukhari, and Harlequin. Neurolimal posted:Ah, I'm not as up-to-date on Necron lore so I thought the lords were only the start of them regaining sentience. Still amusing though. Like a fantasy skeleton empire that rides into battle on wagons made of other living skeleton warriors. Neurolimal posted:Ah drat, me and my scrub-tier lore knowledge. Neurolimal posted:I actually enjoy arguing, stepped away because things broke down to spear memes and yelling retard Neurolimal posted:I admittedly have pretty limited knowledge of all of GW's specialist games, but if those are 1st party mini's I'd guess Epic conversions from the troop square bases. Neurolimal posted:By the way, since Blood Angels have shown up a number of times here I figured this would be worth sharing: Neurolimal posted:It's pre-heresy thousand sons, as every member held within themselves the power tKANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Neurolimal posted:I can only assume that this avat means I've leveled up into True Warham, thank you Neurolimal posted:I assume we're talking about the Black Widow model? Its chest isn't particularly egregious (certainly not as bad as their lychguard chests), Neurolimal posted:Do we even know what necrons looked like pre-enslavement? Considering the majority of non-swarm races in 40k have two genders it seems reasonable to assume necrons were the same. Neurolimal posted:Idgaf what anyone thinks of me, I like arguing and I think the average TG "hyperventilate about any and all sex characteristics" is dumb. There's certainly a problem in nerd communities WRT female representation, but I dont think "deranged immortal robot pharoahs that replace their bodies with impractical poo poo on a whim" is the place to draw the line.

I'm participating in a "Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes" event at my local GW. Just picked up a box of 10 Tactical Marines yesterday. 10 of us got assigned 10 chapters. Mine are: The Sons of Guilliman, Iron Snakes, Angels of Vengeance, Revilers, Hawk Lords, Sons of Medusa, Genesis Chapter, Masters of Protelus, Angels Porphyr and the Subjugators. I think I have a pretty good idea on how to paint most of these, but what green paint should I use for the Sons of Medusa? I was thinking the new Deathguard Green with a waywatcher green glaze or two over it. Also, if there's interest i'll post some WIP shots. I have a ton of extra Space Marine bits, so I want to give them all some character.

Funny enough the only Stormcast I have is an abandoned attempt by someone else to make true scale marines that I picked up at the FLGS way before Primaris were a thing. Also I think the person used later variants that had a lot better poses as well.   If anything they could make decent Ultramarines Primaris just because of all the greco-roman ornaments and themes.

I feel like Neuroliminal has been around a while and his posting history has not always been like this.Then again I skipped like, hundreds of pages for the year and a half that I took off from 40k. His lovely posting is starting to remind me of Warseer - if I get a probation for pointing this out/attacking Neuroliminal it would complete the circle

I've no idea who warseer is, but I assume it's another weird sex poster like docthunder. To be honest, I post about people going overboard with the anti-sex characteristics specifically because I was also a lot like that, and it only was after talking with girl goons, other feminists IRL, and reading up on player statistics that I have the current view on the subject. "Nothing feminine ever" is just missing the entire reason behind the push for equal representation in nerd hobbies, doubling back towards attitudes that scare away women and feminine men from these sort of hobbies. Stringkini guardsmen Infinity style is fuckawful, but plenty of girl nerds are into badass women in dresses or mild boobplate or robots-that-act-like-people with feminine traits. It's a matter of accomodating everything from commissars in dresses to ladies in identical marine power armor, not exclusively pushing for a No Sex Zone.

From a few pages back:Lungboy posted:It's also a lot easier to test dodgy-looking dice. When I started up again, I followed a link to an article that suggested that mots commonly used dice are, in effect, loaded. Supposedly the combination of soft, rounded corners on the dice coupled with a lot of missing weight on the six side (because of the pips) results in something like a 30% chance of rolling a one, rather than the expected 16.6% Found it again: https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/That%27s_How_I_Roll_-_A_Scientific_Analysis_of_Dice The solution was supposedly dice which are either painted or with numerals etched onto them. Was this debunked or does everyone just ignore it?

If there were other feminine necron sans tits I'd favor them, but currently the necrons are stuck in a transformers-esque "they have no gender! They're robots!

Wouldn't it make more sense for the production line to just slam out the same model, rather than "oh poo poo, this lobotomized soul was a woman, lets give it the lady chassis" ? Gender doesn't even make sense for Necrons, the entire point of them is that their previous selves are completely destroyed, and it's not like they reproduce. Not to dredge up the argument about women being represented in 40k, but to me it seems like making robot skeletons feminine makes about as much sense as Tyranids.

I'd be nice for them to include a Lady phaeron to make the Necron character roster less of a sausage fest, like with them sprinkling in a mix of pronouns in the T'au codex, but with the mite bit more effort it takes to actually make a playable character. Tiddies on a robot skeleton still dumb tho.
