In the 3D printing for the tabletop thread, I mentioned how I was getting into Warmaster (10mm) scale stuff over the last few days, so thought I'd share a pic of my Forest Dragon not-Chaos "Despoilers" stuff I've printed and painted up (apologies for crappy camera phone pic):



I'm doing these guys up for Mantic's Kings of War at 10mm scale, but they're certainly suitable for Warmaster Revolution as well.

They look great. What kind of printer do you use?

Have you played KoW at that scale yet? How does it do?

So far we've got 12 people and we're dividing into 2 divisions, games start on Jan 2nd and we're doing one planned matchup per week.

I'd be all over a BB fans patreon but we play at the local Warhammer store and using outside models is verboten. Though maybe I could plead the case that in this case it's actually terrain.

I just had a great conversation with a guy who claimed that Custodes still have 4 actions in Kill Team, because they have an ability that makes them ignore changes to how many actions they have. The errata changed it, but they ignore all changes, so gently caress you I guess.

I'll never understand people like that. When I play if a rules issue comes up I'll defer to my opponents view on things to ensure a pleasant game and to keep the mood fun. I'll still feel bad that we even had to stop and check things.

I can't imagine wanting to win at the expense of all other things.

I'm cautiously looking forward to The Old World. This was a fun revisit, but I don't know if I'm at a place in my life where I have room for 500 pages of rulebook.

He's a huge jerk, and was completely serious, but the way he confused players with his nonsense was incredibly funny. It's just such a weird conclusion to reach, that I can't help but respect it.
I still won't play with his, though.

quote:

A better analogy would be if someone walks into a championship tournament, says "GEE I THINK I MAY HAVE TRANSCENDED THE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF YOU GRANDMASTERS HERE, WANT TO JOIN MY NEW SCHOOL OF CHESS STRATEGY?", then loses by scholar's mate twice in the first round.

This person then refuses to leave his seat, claiming that he needs additional proof that the queen in f7 actually ontologically exists before he will admit defeat, and that the rules of the CHESS ESTABLISHMENT were unfairly biased against him by disallowing the possibility of his king being able to leapfrog pieces.

Then he pulls out an ancient shopping list from 1905 and claims that "1. Eggs" means 'The King', "2. Butter" means 'can', and "3. Milk" means 'leapfrog'. This is admissible evidence for his case because he has lived according to the dictates of this list since he was a teenager, and it has drastically improved his quality of life. When the referees tell him that this makes no loving sense, he drags them into a three hour debate over the precise meaning of the words 'makes', 'no', 'loving', and 'sense'.

When people point out that there is more than enough evidence to suggest his list is just a scrap of paper from some long-dead housewife's purse, he rather proudly points out how close-minded they are in dismissing outright the possibility that the list was in fact a secret coded message on the best way to live life, originally formulated by Atlanteans and passed down through the ages disguised as everyday documents. After all, if one starts with the presupposition that such a document exists, then it would be very fair to argue that it is indeed in the form of his shopping list.

Never mind that his previous interpretations of the list led to three convictions and time served for robbery, hate crimes, and murder. These were just unfortunate misinterpretations on his part of the list's true intentions, he says. The list itself is blameless. In fact, the Atlanteans deliberately obfuscated the true meaning of the list in this way, so that it would require multiple failed misinterpretations before one would happen across its TRUE meaning, and in doing so appreciate it all the more.

In fact, he does have some evidence to back up his claims. Why, just last week during his daily meditation on the list, he felt it telling him that something good was about to happen in his future. And yesterday, wouldn't you know it, he found a twenty dollar note on the sidewalk! Evidence of the list's prophetic powers if I ever saw one. And believe him, he has many more stories where that came from.

By now, the debate has splintered off into innumerable tangents, with the one man against literally every other player and referee present at the tournament. Finally, he graciously accepts the possibility of defeat in some of the myriad topics now being covered. OK, maybe the tallest player doesn't always get to go first. Fine, I will concede that there isn't much evidence to support my third-invisible-knight hypothesis. But that's all irrelevant. What he wants to concentrate on, and what nobody has yet been able to disprove, he adds, is the ability of the king to leapfrog over other pieces.

The argument drags on for weeks. Finally, one afternoon, the beet-faced referee exhausts his last reserves of decency and throws his arms up in frustration and despair. "YOU loving RETARD, HOW CAN YOU LAY CLAIM TO KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT CHESS STRATEGY WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN GRASP THE MOST BASIC RULES!?" He shouts, just as a new entrant walks through the door. "I'm sorry," replies the man calmly, "I simply cannot discuss the rules of chess with such an 'official' if you insist on using such strong and uncouth language. Please retract your insults or I will be forced to plug my ears whenever you say anything from now on."

Seeing only this last exchange, the new entrant pipes up. "He's right, you know. If he did something wrong, then you as the referee have every right to tell him he is so, but it should be done with a patient and thorough explanation of the details of his error. Hurling ridicule at him solves nothing and won't change anyone's mind."

The lazy eye of the retarded List-following, King-leapfrogging man twitches almost unnoticeably, as he cranes his head towards the source of this new voice. A welcoming smile cracks, inch by beaming inch, across his face. He licks his lips. He clears his throat.

"So glad to know decent people like you still value a polite discussion. Care for a game?"

Would you have written the same thing if they had edited the quote to say something other than a naughty word? It seems that people care more about the word itself than the intention of the word.

If they hadn't made an ableist slur in the text, then of course I could not have objected to an ableist slur in the text.

Ableist slurs aren't "naughty words." That's deflection via rhetorical trick. "gently caress" is a naughty word, but its one with no victims. Ableist slurs have victims.

Word not sentiment. Got it. That's pretty dumb, moronic, idiotic, and stupid.

Whole thing seemed out of place here, just my 2 cents but whatever

I've been flushing out a White Scars and Word Bearers 30k Epic Army. We are in the process of setting up a campaign and also doing some Adeptus Titanicus battles sprinkles in.
I feel pretty set as doing the Fire Masters as the Titan Legion allied with the Word Bearers(mutations for the mutation god??)
But struggling to settle on the main Legio for the White Scars

The noticeable Legions who allied with them during the Horus Heresy, and are all available in Adeptus Titanicus, are:
Warp Runners
Firebrand
War Griffon
Fire Wasps
Imperial Hunters

Just off of abilities and story, I'm most interested in the Warp Runners, War Griffons or Imperial Hunters

Any thoughts on the different Legios would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I cannot understand the logic here. If someone made a post that has no ablelist sentiment in it because there's no slur, then that's just... like... all the posts. All of them, everywhere. How can I possibly know that a user maybe wrote "retard" in the post box and then edited it out before they posted?

The only thing in that story that expressed the sentiment, was the word itself. IF there had been some additional ableist sentiment, aside from the word, then of course that would still have been bad - but in this case, there wasn't. You demanded to know what I'd do if the objectionable content was removed. That makes no sense.

Just a thought, but White Scars are hit and run / lightning assault. A walking battleship really doesn't fit the bill, TBH. However, if you're looking for fluff justifications:

Warp Runners - Slow and steady. Doesn't really jibe with
