Booley posted:I wouldn't call it fake news, I just repainted it white to help make it absurdly obvious to people turning a blind eye. The sculptors didn't intend to end up with a kkkawdor executioner, but they did. Not all KKK robes are white. From the ADL (Anti Defamation League) website, adl.org: quote:Generally speaking, white robes tend to indicate a rank-and-file member, unless all members wear such robes. Green robes indicate state leaders (Grand Dragons) in many Klan groups, while black robes often indicate Knighthawks, a sort of Klan security position. The leaders, or Imperial Wizards, of different Klan groups have chosen a variety of different colors of robes to wear. Klan groups may also use a variety of stripes (in different colors and numbers), sashes, and emblems on their robes. With this pic:  And Wikipedia says blue is a color sometimes used by Imperial Wizards, a high-ranking position. Yeah, oops. Cessna fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Aug 20, 2018 |

Got a little 1k game in with my admech yesterday, my first time taking them out, and came back from a bit of a losing streak playing nids with a crushing victory. It didn't hurt that I tried to guess my buddy's list in advance and the list I came up with was a lot meaner than what he brought. Infiltrated Stygies Electro-Priests loving do work, 10 of them easily made back triple or quadruple their points killing a unit of bikers, a Helverin, a unit of Hellblasters, and a Librarian. Easily one of the most powerful melee set-ups in 40k.

I personally think the big Ork in the background is another buggy variant with a dude poking out the top. The perspective is causing all sorts of size weirdness, even the yellow warbiker on the right looks massive Gonna quote myself when it turns out I'm right  (Don't quote me when I'm wrong though ok thanks)

I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras back in ‘11 and, when we got back to the hotel room and turned on the tv, one of the local channels was airing this live broadcast of some debutante reveal ball. Only thing was, all the men were dressed in clan outfits of every hue of the rainbow. It literally looked like they didn’t separate their whites from the colors on laundry day(ironically enough). It felt like we were watching a Jodorowsky film. Locals told us there’s a few fraternal orders that grew out of the clan that have disavowed the racism part but still keep the meetings and uniforms because of tradition.

As a follow up to the guard question, how decent are deathwatch to play? Specifically I really like the way the deathwatch veteran squads look with all their customization and fancy gear. However a quick google search and I'm finding repeated claims that veterans aren't worth using over primaris marines or that they should just be kitted out with stormbolters. The draw of deathwatch to me kind of goes out the window if the current codex pushes me to play them that way. I don't care immensely about running a competitive army but at the same time I don't want to get wrecked every time I try and play. I quite liked the idea of running a small detachment of deathwatch vets in their blackstar that I could occasionally bring alongside the astras but if they don't really work kitted out 'fluffy' then its less appealing.

I've heard some rumors there is also a new Grazkull model that's even bigger than his 3rd edition model. I've heard the size of Bobby G up to the size of Magnus, I think the former is more likely. If you've seen the LE Primaris Captain, the one with the plasma pistol and power fist, he's smaller than the other Primaris captains, either the one from the starter set or the boxed one.

It's looking like the death watch kill team starter will be £30 and the dark eldar will be £37.50. Has anyone put death watch arms on intercessors / reivers? I've heard that they're slightly shorter but don't look noticeably out of place. After building some MK3 plague marines I discovered I don't like regularly sized marines even if they're in cool armor.

Out of curiosity, do the Brits have any sort of KKK analogue infesting their own country? Not necessarily rooting for racism, but secretive groups with dumb titles and outfits that get together to hate on something in particular.

Stormbolters are a good cheap option but you can certainly add in some heavy weapons, a terminator or two, etc. But going the Kill Team route of everyone has a different weapon doesn't make sense since you'll end up with mismatched ranges and also rolling each model individually because they have different weapons will slow the game down a lot. Even from a fluff perspective, most DW dudes are carrying bolters and a power weapon of some sort with usually a heavy weapons guy.

For me the new model exposes something that has occurred over the thirty years or whatever of 40K and that is the complete loss of any irony in the setting. When it was all a ripoff of Judge Dredd/ Nemesis the Warlock mixed with your favourite sci fi bits was there an element of parody that meant models in this style (I mean those with the hoods rather than this specific model with hoods plus nooses) could be considered as alluding to all the religious meanings as well as the racist ones but these were meant to be baddys so this was accepted ? There is an element of how hosed up things are at the moment affecting the way we look at this but also perhaps that the space marines, the military musclemen of a totalitarian, xenophobic, fundamentalist regime are considered the good guys in this setting unironically. The setting has condensed to focus around genetically enhanced supermen in power armour who kill aliens just because they are different . Then a model that evokes these real world symbols of hate fits in to this fantasy setting... but doesn't look ridiculous or in anyway provide a negative critique of these things.

Only Mason I know about is the guy in Mexico that organised communities to fight back against the cartels and was winning until the government locked him up. There was until recently, the last 50 years or so, strong racial divides within the US Freemasons lodges. I think the Masons used to be very anti-Catholic but that might be from the Catholic Church essentially outlawing them as heretical. The Knights of Columbus are a direct outcropping of that. EDIT: Owlkill posted:Arguably, the Orange Order, though that’s mostly Northern Ireland (with some weirdos in Scotland too). They hate catholics, too. They’re not technically a hate group though because reasons. The Orange Order is pretty close to the first iteration of the Klan in a lot of way. The modern Klan is the third iteration and is different in that it's white racists from all over and not the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party and Confederate revanchists in the South. I get that they were going for the Spanish ceremonial garb look but it's in poor taste in 21st century considering who has co-opted that look in their biggest market.

Fun fact: the Klan was very aggressively anti Catholic up until the last generation, when they realized that most American Catholics are also super racist.

It's just a bunch of old nerds who get together to have dinner and listen to tired old morality plays. Here in the US, it's worn out slightly-racist-in-the-way-rural-people-from-the-30s-are old guys, but they're fairly harmless. The Catholic Church excommunicates Mason catholics, but that's because the Naples lodge in the 1800s tried to overthrow the pope, there's no antipathy from the other direction.
