Jeez this week has felt long… and I have to work tomorrow ? pledge is to take a little time to just sit with a podcast on and paint something.

As my branch has been without internet since Wednesday night clearly we’ve angered the SysAdmin… I’m considering offering a sacrifice at this point. Hard to run a cloud based appointment system for track and trace when you’ve no bloody internet!

its been a long week with 3 games of current kill team and 1 game of 40k under my belt

this is the first time this year i have played a GW game and wow compaired to infinity N4 , Malifaux , Core Space or Legion

they are clunky rule sets and the official army app is aweful, ( love the unofficial kill team app its great glitches on ios but really good to use during the game)

as a long time GK player ( 1st ed space hulk Grey Knights 1990’s) im looking at the new box and going meh i will wait for the dex

i dont know why but im just not enthused about the new box, crow is cool i may ebay him,

my predictions for the new dex are

1 the new additional wounds

2 paladins will go to T5 instead of getting another wound

3 the chapter command will not flow into the dex from codex sm

4 the stratagems will be thinned out but a lot of the unused ones will still be in the dex

5 the libuarius powers will get a nerf nuke from ok and 2 epic to useless and not worth it

6 the tides system will change  which i think may be good

7 the doctrines from Codex SM will be introduced

8 nothing will be changed with the Nemesis Dread-knights ( which is a shame as the standard ones are not worth the points)

9Purifyers will get an extra attack and that their smite will change

10 relics will be thinned and toned down

what do you think?

Have you praised your SysAdmin yet? I’m sick to death of his half-arse approach to everything, his slack, lazy attitude in carrying out even routine maintenance, and his sheer incompetence in almost every slightly “technical” task I require of him. (yep, I’m my own sysadmin).

Did you appreciate the poor souls that are keeping the fragile construct that is called “internet” running recently? I’ve worked at a really low level with electronics and sometimes even machine code for integrating hardware across the ‘net. While my wife complains on the odd occasion that her wifi runs a little slowly, I’m constantly amazed that anything works at all!

Have you read “Bastard Operator from Hell (BofH)”? The what now? I’d never even heard of it. Even after a quick Google and reading the wiki pages, I’m not clearer as to what/who it is.

I’ve had a bit of a @sundancer moment in recent weeks, and not really painted anything for a while. That said, I *did* fire up my resin printer last night (just to keep it moving and stop it “seizing up” through lack of use I guess!) and left it running overnight; this morning I woke up to a Luke, slave Leia, 2 x Gammorean Guards, Bib Fortuna and, in honour of @warzan ‘s cosplay, some alien dude that looks a bit like his Po Clown (but isn’t Po Kloon). So I guess this week’s pledge should be to get them painted up, even if I don’t get the rest of Jabba’s Palace done (though I might just spend some time messing about with modelling foam and have a go at building a stone palace diorama….

Have we had this one yet?

@sundancer I’m surprised only one named person has been let go after the change in ownership for Legion … and the tweet by him indicated that it wasn’t entirely his own choice.

How important is a lead writer for a game when it isn’t their own IP to begin with ? (I’m assuming Disney is the one checking the writing anyway … )
