Even better play Chaos Knights and have three models with one of them having a noodle arm. Noodle arm Knight, best Knight.

Warhammer 40k the game is an excuse to put all my painted little plastic men on a table and take photos

Honestly I feel like one of the big problems is the number of different weapons and units with very slightly different rules, but that's a big part of how the modeling works

Wonder how long it's going to take the Votann to get a flyer and a superheavy. I like their aesthetic but I HATE the tiny rear end wheels on their TMNT playset vehicles.

End of 2024/beginning of 2025 when their new codex drops I imagine. But we'll see whenever the next codex roadmap drops.
Which won't be for a couple of months I'm assuming.

This would make the game better. Some other miniatures games treat off board artillery or aircraft as a purchasable ability as opposed to unit. That might work well thematically for 40k. For a certain amount of points you get a strafing run from the aircraft you want, or some fire support for a turn from the Titan. If people want to model the off board artillery/aircraft, that is fine too.

Also, God help me I went on a shopping spree at the store going out of business sale, 30% off. Shadowvaults, legionaries, blooded, Phobos kill team, a couple AP rattle cans, and a few metallic speed paints. Hard to pass up that kind of discount, just wish they had more things I wanted.

Guard combat patrol gets a stratagem that lets them use the earth shaker artillery attack to reduce the enemies movement speed.

I mean I have played a lot of miniature wargames over the years and Warhammer has consistently been one of the worst rules-wise, and even though it’s miles better today than it was in 2003 it’s still very very badly designed compared to almost any alternative. But that’s ok! It’s fun to play, it’s an experience! Don’t get hung up on things like “balance” because you will drive yourself crazy.

Putting together a bunch of other games-workshop kits makes me realize how impressive it is that the kit for some regular rear end cadians is as well designed as their kill team kits.

It's funny that Epic treats aircraft as basically off board artillery that teleports to a space thrn takes flak and shoots back, while small scale 40k is stuck having them move around like any other unit

Inquisitors used to be able to spend points on a one-shot orbital strike and it was almost never worth it.
