Lovely Joe Stalin posted:I applaud the spirit of sharing helpful links, and I'm not having a go at you, but please don't post StrikingScorpion here. He is, at best fash-adjacent, as well as having all sorts of other far right weirdo warning signs. That's crazy, I had no idea. I've watched a ton of his videos and didn't see anything alarming. I did search him one time and found a forum post somewhere complaining about a Brexit video that I couldn't find or find the contents of, but I didn't know enough about Brexit to know if Brexit is a 100% racist thing or some British people want out of the EU for other misguided reasons. Now that I know the details and stuff, it's really disappointing because his Codex reviews were full of information. I guess I'll give Winters SEO another shot.

Dark Vengeance is going on made to order according to the 40K Facebook page. They may be push-fit, but the Chaos Marines from that box are some of the best before or since.

Just to help share info, there was a decent chunk of brexiteers with reasons that were legitimately political (although I personally believe them wrong.) They were certainly not the majority of the leave vote though, as it was primarily people voting for jingoistic / xenophobic reasons. I'd not say racist as it's a different thing and I don't think it's right to conflate the two as racism is frequently a lot more damaging. However, I would bet my life that there is one hundred percent overlap of those who are xenophobic jingoists and racists, so I guess I'm just being a pedant.

Where did that bag of 80 Warzone miniatures go? That was such a loving good deal for cultists/renegades lmao Any alternative sources of cheapo sci-fi looking dudes I can use for chaff units? Like I don't care if they're lovely 90s models I just want something that's the same scale for friendly games

That's why I wonder what he's gone on to do since he's a good public face in the nerd world. Surely GW would pay him well (or at least pay him reasonably) considering he's one of two known brand ambassadors along with Rebecca Scott, who I know nothing about prior to GW but is a good get as far as likeable presenters go.

It's weird because it's such a niche thing I can't imagine him being hired to do a similar face of the community job elsewhere. I imagine it's more a behind the scenes community/digital marketing manager position.

Hey not sure where to go looking for this, but do we have any information on when more plastic sisters of battle stuff will be released? I'm really looking to build up this army, and really want to get my hands on church organ tanks and Junith, or hell just plastic battle sisters.

Except to hear news about it next week since I think the releases are slated for end of January/early February or so. Granted, considering they have announcements for later today (25th) they might mention something about that then.

Sorry if this gets asked a bunch, but what are the "elite" low model count / high point cost army prospects for non-imperium forces? I'm not really digging primaris, custodes, GK, and the bunch. The only thing my 5th edition brain can think of is chaos knights? What else, tho?

Chaos can be built pretty tall not only with Knights, but with more Cult Marine focused CSM. There’s a bunch of Slaanesh demon lists out there as well that focus on their characters and elite units. As for Xenos, Craftworld Eldar can fit that niche, especially going Wraith heavy. And Harlequins are so elite they struggle to form monofaction armies. ‘Nidzilla all monster units lists are also an option.

Wraithhost for Eldar is probably the most identifiable one, since they're 1) still infantry and 2) bigger than regular dudes. Tyranid Warriors and similarly sized beasties do the deal, but are also outside of Hive Guard generally speaking not great. Nidzilla also fits the bill but with more of a "lots of tanks" feel than just a bunch of elite/heavy infantry.

Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the palace, Not a faction was stirring, not even Ordo Malleus. The stocking were hung by the chimney with care, On the hopes Da Red Gobbo would soon be there. The juvies were nestled all damp in their beds, While visions of cheribum danced in their heads, And mama in her standard issue 'kerchief and I in my cap, Had settled our brains for a long winter's nap. When out on the hab unit arose such a clatter, I sprang from the cot to see whats the matter. Away to the armorglass I flew like a flash, Tore open the flak-shutters, and threw up the sash. Luna on the breast of the new fallen rad-snow, Gave the lustre of thin coats to objects below; When what to my wondering bionics should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and 8 tiny squig-deer. With a little ol' driver, so lively and green, I knew in a moment it must be Da Red Gobbo. More rapid than Psyber-Eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name: "OY! DAHSHER, NOW DAKKA, NOW PRANZER, NOW VIKSEN, ON KOMET, ON KRUMPID, ON LOOTA AN' GITZEN', TO DA TOP AH DA PORCH, TO DA TOP OF DA WALL! NOW KRUMP AWAY! KRUMP AWAY, KRUMP AWAY ALL!" As heretics before the Space Marines fly, When met with an obstacle mount to the sky, So up to the hab-roof the squigs did flew, With the sleigh full of stikk-bombs, and Da Red Gobbo too. An then with a twinkling, I heard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, Down the air exchange unit Da Red Gobbo came with a bound. He was dressed in all fur from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot, A bundle of teef he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His goggled how they twinkled! His pimples, so hairy! His cheeks were rosey, his hook-nose real scary! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the fake beard on his chin was as white as corpse-snow. The stump of a cigar he held tight in his teef, The smoke it encircled him like a personal force-wreath, He had a taut face and a distended little belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of bone-jelly. He was chubby and plump, a jolly ol' grot, And I laughed when I saw him blow out some snot. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word but went straight to his work, And filled all the stocking with dung like a jerk. And laying his finger inside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the air exchange unit he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team he gave a rictus, And away they all flew like the down of Sanguinius. But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight, "MERRY CRIMBO TO ALL, YA 'UMIES ALRIGHT!" Fake James fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Dec 25, 2019 |

'Twas the night before Empire-mas, and all through the base, Not a creature was stirring lest it be shot in the face. The guards were all stationed, the sentries were posted Where any intruder would quickly be toasted. The ultramarines were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of stormbolters danced in their heads. Sarge in his pauldrons, and I in my cap Had both had too much of that tyrannid crap. When out on the battlement there arose such a clatter, The marines rushed to their stations to see what was the matter. I rushed to the window, and what dare I see, But the one who gives dakka to fight heresy. His beard white and snowy, his armor so festive, He looked up and asked if we were the best of The ranks of the planet, this garrison keep, And if we had the Emperor's enemies reaped. We affirmed it was true, we were Space Marines Not simple soldiers, but killing machines. He laughed with a voice that was both grim and merry, And said that we had enemies left to bury. "Up Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Ultramarines! Up Space Wolves, Iron Hands, and Angry Marines! I bring you new weapons, to murder the foe. Don't dawdle, there's plenty, yes, here you go!" And he handed out dakka with plenty to spare, No Marine was left wanting, no hand was left bare. As he got on his speeder and rose out of sight, He said "Merry Empire-mas to all, and fight the good fight!     In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only wassailing. Images from a holiday project from quite a long while ago. I still have the model somewhere, though sadly the elf-eared cherub is long lost.
