"recently" in the sense that people criticized the ones from 1997 for that, and in april of last year GW released a new line of redemptionists that doesn't have cone-shaped hoods it was a change for the better

Although I don't know about you, but I like the left one's rustbucket axe way more than that weird shiny version the right guy has.

Hood + three nooses seems a little suspect. A hair short of their axe having 1488 on it.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:"yeah let's also cut one of those nooses. no, no need to remove them all" Supposedly the argument was that having ONE noose meant that it could conceivably be meant for the person itself as a sign of their penitence - 'already dead in service of the emperor' or something like that. Having multiple nooses meant it was unambiguously for the purpose of lynching other people. I'm not entirely sure I buy it, the whole Cawdor / Redemptionist line and vibe really squicks me out, but that was the justification that seemed to be discussed at the time.

“Will nodded toward Hadrian. “Look at the nooses he’s carrying. A man wearing one—maybe he knows how to use it, maybe not. A man carries two—he probably don’t know nothing about nooses, but he wants you to think he does. But a man carrying three nooses—that’s a lot of weight. No one’s gonna haul that much rope around unless he makes a living using them.” ― Michael J. Sullivan, Theft of Nooses

A thing to remember is that a lot of the sculptors are British so they may not have the cultural knowledge that it is a big yikes in other cultures rather than just edgy overly religious stuff. For example in Britain calling a grown man boy is just condescending, in the US it has big racist overtones.

It's also just a very natural pose for someone to have while standing and carrying a heavy two-handed weapon.

I always figured the culture was still metal dudes trapped in the 80s and 90s so they based the pose on James Hetfield

Just anecdotally, I know more than one friend who was getting online when they were ten or so, in the nineties, and meeting another young kid from the UK on the internet, saying "bloody hell" as a joke, and then having the UK kid log off or leave chat, probably because they're sitting there with their parent or teacher. What's too offensive for a literal child being chaperoned might have left a misleading impression.

What's too offensive for a literal child being chaperoned might have left a misleading impression. My Sophomore year in high school, my English teacher was British and one time a dude in class said 'bloody hell' and she gave him a look like she was telepathically sending him the message "You're lucky I can't beat the poo poo out of you." Then again, we were constantly trying to rile her up over her Britishness so if I take her as indicative of the Brits then hooo boy, do Brits get huffy when you tell them "we drive on the right side of the road" or ask about their Mardi Gras plans.

JcDent posted:OK, how is this Warmaster Revolution fight between pegasus knights and three units of orcs resolved? Well, this is off the top of my head, and I'm not an expert, but: 1. Assuming the Orcs had a clear charge, the Orc units should have been placed to maximize frontage on the Knights. As such, only one unit should be fighting at the front. The second unit wouldn't have been able to see the Knights at that point, so they wouldn't have been able to charge into combat. 2. The flanking Orcs would have been affected by the head-on combat stands, so they probably would only have two stands in contact (not sure which unit charged first.) In other words, the charges were pulled off incorrectly, assuming the lane was clear. As for the current combat positions: 1. With the way the Orcs are split, you're looking at three separate engagements - essentially the charger (I assume the Orcs) gets to decide which unit attacks first. In this case, I would start with the flanking Orcs, because there are three stands vs. one. The Knights won't get support because they are touching the other Orc stands. 2. If the flanking Orcs win (likely), the Knights will fall back, directly away from the flank. They are flyers, so no pursuit. They probably won't be able to roll high enough to get away from the other units. 3. If the Knights win (unlikely), they might pursue, but I don't think they will be able to move very far, so they're still in contact with the other units. 4. Resolve combat with one of the remaining touching units - if the Knights survive, they'll flee directly away and the Orcs can't pursue. If they die, the Knights lose the character stand too. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Jul 22, 2022 |
