Don't you love it when you go 'I don't wanna strawman anyone' and someone immediately goes 'look at me, I'm made of straw!'

Considering the usual way beholders procreate beholderkin involves them dreaming intensely on certain concepts, I fear what would happen if one was to have a wet dream that somehow didn't involve their own narcissism.

The newer edition of KT actually annoys me, ngl. It has more focused and bespoked team rules, meaning you also need the KT sprues and markers and what have you to run. The edition before, while less complex, you could just pick up and go with most basic troops and however you did them up as.

Meanwhile, the newest Combat Patrol box is primarily focused on what I bet is the least-used sub-faction of an already niche main faction, that doesn't even really feature anything of note that people wanting that sub-faction of a faction wouldn't have had enough of.

The reason why this is ok by comparison is even with a price at 168, the two skimmers by themselves basically took up most the value of the box so you basically got the infantry for free, and the units in general were probably stuff you'd want to use anyway.

Honestly the best combat patrol that was during this edition was the old Drukarii one. You got two of the raider skimmers, 10 basic infantry, 5 incubi elite guys, and an admittedly aged leader sculpt they updated when they released the book (and replaced it with a crappier combat patrol naturally)

To put it bluntly, the only reason I've gotten the three tabletop-sized armies I got is A: been playing with these overpriced army men for almost a decade and slowly hoovered em up over time, and B: usually being more worried about narrative or modeling side of things, so I don't rush to grab stuff.

Depends on the force usually, but I'd argue the average competitive 2k list in just models alone probably sits around 400-600 on average with modern pricing. Not even counting if you drop for some of the bigger centerpiece models, it can really climb if you're mainlining bigger Knights for example.

Hell when I got started in 8th-ish, the price was around 100 for a combat patrol, and that was like... 2019? Sameish amount of models too, so that's just the price climbing and whatever other economic who-hah. I bought some of my chaos marine sculpts at 45 bucks for 10 dudes.

Even back when I was still kinda in a chud arc I went 'wait this is just bitching about rainbow flags with vague cover about furries'. And if some dumbass 20something could pick that up at the time it was fresh, so could the actual audience they wanted. Send Space Kings to the penis explodinator.

The only thing I've settled on for the whole 'no woman custodes' stuff is they somehow twisted the origin story of the Adeptus Soritas existing because of a 'no men of arms for the Ecclisiarchy' as somehow also the rest of the imperium despite the fact of Sisters of Silence and the Guard exist.

You have to remember, to the group of 40k fans that start and end with the easier to access media, their love of Titus started and ended on him disagreeing with Leandros, which they perceived as someone going out of their way to dunk on the 'Spiritual Liege' codex Ward was mandated at the time for.

Can confirm, Dawn of War was my intro, and then properly got my tabletop stop at Vigilus Ablaze/the previous version of Killteam.

My memory may be a funky fuck at the best of times, but I'm pretty sure idiots getting unreasonably angry about what people did with the models they made and put time and effort into is what got me off the alt-right pipeline. Just seemed so weird and pathetic and clue'd in that that was it all along

I'm still going nuts that basically all mention of her interaction with Yvraine and the Ynarii is basically ixnayed from this despite, y'know, being the reason Yvraine was in the fight pits. You can't get away with opening that door, GW, all twelve of us that thought it was neat remember!

Going off my sub, the current shipment is at the very least 2 sets of eldar bikes, and then 2 unknowns until I get em in the near future, but I'm gonna assume paints or something. After that, going off the order of the special binders and teasers, I'm assuming the CSM set begins next month.

In my admittedly rusty recollection, pretty much literally this. Do the menial labor and don't say anything heretical for your specific brand of overseer in earshot and you'll *probably* live to like 30, so they don't tend to care about what you do in the like 6 hours off. The point is the cruelty.

Chaos dreads of this era especially I think are gonna be on that 'unicorn models' list of mine. Tracking them down and having the income to collect them would be a pain, but a part of me thinks having those for brutes if I walk into the other marked legions would be neat.
