They stick a parasite organ in the first humans they can capture, said humans run off and gently caress like rabbits, parasite organ makes any kids come out as increasingly human looking half-breeds, cult grows over several generations and then they start causing bother.

Zuul the Cat posted:But...they're skeletons. Specifically robot skeletons. 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. Thats why I think tits on drone necron is silly, but necron lords explicitly have sentience, free will, and regularly change their bodies and/or accessorize, hence my hovertank bit; it makes as much sense for a necron to keep their legs/go spider as it does for them to wear jewelery, have a masculine body, or have a feminine body. It's entirely up to their whims. If we're going to get into the skeleton theme, then standard Necron absolutely have masculine features that distinguish them from a standard human skeleton. In particular their large sharp jawlines, exaggerated torsos, and small pelvises. They're not genderless in design at all. Neurolimal fucked around with this message at 19:54 on May 4, 2018 |

I know some dudes are just shitposting, but in case anyone genuinely missed it:Neurolimal posted:3. I'm less focused on that model than I am with the general idea behind my argument. 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! Besides the broad chest, thin hips, and all-male voice acting." Rut.

Transformers currently has a glut of ladybots without any real significant diamorphism. Hell, some of the recent comics made nerds mad by having a bunch of characters wonder "hey wait why do we have gender anyway what the gently caress" out loud. Skeletiddies are dumb.

Hell, some of the recent comics made nerds mad by having a bunch of characters wonder "hey wait why do we have gender anyway what the gently caress" out loud. That's a modern transformers thing; starting around the time Windblade was created you had a lot of old grognards moaning about having such a feminine bot in their Totally Gender Neutral Besides Arcee Squad. I understand why you might do it subconciously, but it's still important to recognize that just because they're a robot doesn't mean they dont have masculine features, were modeled off male reference material, and exclusively have male voice actors.

I think a lot of you guys are pointedly ignoring Neuoliminals actual argument, that since Necorn characters change their bodies to be like their former regal status in life, it would be good if some of them were lady Necrons, and instead just saying "skeletons don't have tits". Which, while true, isn't really germane to the discussion

Mine are: Sons of Medusa are almost a neon green, what you're describing will be more of a pastel Easter green. I'd probably do Waywatcher Green, go up to Moot Green, then start using Bad Moon Yellow for the edge highlights. Do you use an airbrush?

Maneck posted:They managed to get an experiment involving rolling 1000 dice wrong? Are their details? Or was it determined that they just made it up? There are two sample sizes in play. One is "dice", the other is "number of tests". I'm almost certain at least one of those sample sizes is lacking. I'm also absolutely certain that even if they were even halfway rigorous about it that their sample size was not wide, it was just "let's get a thousand of whatever dice we have on hand" which is not representative in the loving slightest.

Strobe posted:There are two sample sizes in play. One is "dice", the other is "number of tests". Your expectations about what the authors did are understandable. They are also wrong. Check the article. It was written by someone with at least a passable understanding of statistics. The test design used a sample of 1,000 dice at 1,000 trials, with the results for each die being individually tracked: quote:I then constructed a series of plastic barriers that would be used to keep each die independent of the others. In the lab we have a table that is 4 inches thick solid slate built on hydraulic legs to keep balance and resist independent movement. On this table we put all of the dice in the rolling container and labeled each case, giving each individual die its own chamber and number. My 4 students then shook and rolled the dice 1000 times, recording each individual result. Each die was individually rolled 1000 times, so 4 sets of 36 dice (144 dice) rolled 1000 times equals 144,000 rolls. Each die was tracked on its own and kept separate from the rest. More ones was universal amongst the dice tested. The best performing dice (i.e. the flattest distribution) came up at 23%. The worst performer was 33%. The aggregate average of all dice was a 29% chance of rolling a one. And after the testing, they modified the dice to fill in the corners i.e. straight edges. This helped (19% ones). The only thing I disagree with is conclusion that casino dice should be used. Numeral dice are a thing and presumably would have a flatter distribution. Unless he made the whole thing up. I wasn't sure if someone tried to repeat his trial.

His samples were garbage; he used 2 cubes of GW dice and 2 bricks of Chessex dice, not 1000 randomly selected dice. His "rolling chamber" is poorly defined and is not necessarily representative of a standard dice roll. His data is not available. The study is bad, over a decade old and it comes up like every three months as if it's some sort of new breakthrough.

Sorry for bringing up something that is over a decade old and "comes up like every three months as if it's some sort of new breakthrough". I haven't played in a decade and wanted to know if it had been debunked. Thanks for your responses. I get that it would be preferable to draw dice from more sources. I wouldn't describe drawing four different large lots of dice from two manufacturers "garbage". Especially since the dice from both manufacturers had the same problem. The chances that both GW and Chessex experienced a transient issue which caused them to make dice in multiple lots that roll excess ones seem low. As to not replicating a rolling motion, I could see that if they started all of the dice on the same number or something - although even then, the huge number of trials shows that the dice were rolling over. If this is the extent of the debunking, thanks for letting me know. I think I'll order some numeral dice.
