The funny thing is for WWE Kane was always said to be the strongest dude
And he was built but like
He’s built
viral halo
And now he’s a Republican politician
dusk patrol
Not sculpted
dusk patrol
And now he’s a Republican politician
Can’t blame em I’d have a hard time not voting for Kane
He’s my top 3 wrestlers of all time personally
viral halo
LMAO
queen laurel
Yeah and they find thor funny because he has very similar physique
dusk patrol
Him, Randy, and Edge or Batista
queen laurel
Like the drama this physique made is hilarious
viral halo
Him, Randy, and Edge or Batista
Jeff hardy and Kurt angle>

I just join a running session, twice per week.
Probably could be doing more but have to fit in housework, miniatures, D&D, maybe other social events...
dusk patrol
Depends on the day lol
dusk patrol
Yeah and they find thor funny because he has very similar physique
Also like one thing
Thor isn’t a healthy dude totally
He’s a god who drinks endlessly and eats a ton
queen laurel
He’s a god who drinks endlessly and eats a ton
Yeah and in god of war he's like half giant
dusk patrol
Hes got the strongman physique mixed with a bad diet of probably drinking too much
Or that’s the appearance at least
I haven’t played through 2 yet but I like what I’ve seen and his look is great
queen laurel
I haven’t played through 2 yet but I like what I’ve seen and his look is great
It's an overly detailed strongman physique yeah
dusk patrol
Also a good more unique take to distance him from the Hemsworth Thor
queen laurel
Also a good more unique take to distance him from the Hemsworth Thor
I think that's the reason why people didn't like him more when he got revealed
dusk patrol
Which they obviously had to do
queen laurel
Because they are so used to this representation of thor
Pretty sure in the original norse mythology it doesn't even have thunder
It's just an incredibly heavy hammer
dusk patrol
In the original he’s also just kinda a jokester and dork
Who sometimes beats people up
queen laurel
Who sometimes beats people up
Yeah and he carries around like a hammer heavier than a mountain or something
Could be heavier but not familiar with the mythology
dusk patrol
Norse Mythology gets wild
Much like Greek mythology a lot of it comes across as some guy being horny and writing fanfic about that
queen laurel
Loki

Gotta update that Gaydar, the two of them have been making kissy eyes at each other for a couple episodes now.

When Aemond and Jace meet on the battle field they’re just gonna have a Blue Steel fight

Damn

Beat me by a second
dusk patrol
I hate that I know what mewing is now from this show
queen laurel
https://tenor.com/view/aemond-looking-down-at-rhaenys-house-of-the-dragon-vhagar...
Apparently this guy has like the largest dragon species as a pet
Or something i don't know the ads said it
dusk patrol
He has the largest dragon bonded to him yeah
Largest and oldest
Also he’s a really good fighter and psychopath so
Fun combo
queen laurel
Largest and oldest
Wouldn't that basically make him already a powerhouse in the verse
A good fighter and literally has the largest and oldest dragon around
dusk patrol
That’s the idea
rocky gale
Yep
dusk patrol
He’s hard carrying his side on that front
dusk patrol
Fortunately
The other side also has a really good fighter whose a psychopath
And has a pretty big dragon too
queen laurel
And has a pretty big dragon too
Second to Vhagar?
rocky gale
Like 4th or 5th maybe
dusk patrol
Now at least
It’s more a skill thing also
Him and his dragon have fought together way more and for way longer
queen laurel
Him and his dragon have fought together way more and for way longer
So it's brute strength versus experience
dusk patrol
So it's brute strength versus experience
Sorta yeah, it’s a mix
Vhagar also comes from an era of dragon fights
So she knows how to fuck shit up
rocky gale
Vermithor, Silverwing and Dreamfyre are all bigger I think, but yea Caraxes and Daemon have the longest bond of any currently living rider and the most real battle experience
dusk patrol
But her age does hurt her
viral halo
Daemon has the coolest dragon
dusk patrol
Yeah
viral halo
carexes the red wyrm
rocky gale
Yea Vhagar has got a lot of droopy grandma age going on
dusk patrol
Also she got fucked up a bit at Rooks rest
viral halo
I’m getting sick of the daemon harrenhall subplot
rocky gale
Damn I always mix up the names Caraxes and Syrax
dusk patrol
It’s kind annoying they don’t bring Dreamfyre up at all
queen laurel
Are dragons like a rare thing in the house of dragon universe
dusk patrol
I get Haelena isn’t really cut out for warfare but like
dusk patrol
Are dragons like a rare thing in the house of dragon universe
Mostly yes
There’s not that many
The events of the show cause them to basically go extinct shortly after until GoT
rocky gale
I’m getting sick of the daemon harrenhall subplot
But it's got the best character in the show at the moment
dusk patrol
Sam Tarly if he fucked
rocky gale
Plus at this point the Dragon already went through an extinction level event, so the ones we got are the survivors
dusk patrol
Yeah
viral halo
But it's got the best character in the show at the moment
I LOVEEEEE that guy
dusk patrol
During the period before the Doom there was thousands or more
After that very few existed
And Aegon and Baelerion killed a lot of those
viral halo
Amazing how in 300 years from dance of dragons to game of thrones there’s not one technical innovation
You’d think there’d be one musket
queen laurel
During the period before the Doom there was thousands or more
Are dragons like the strongest creatures in the game of thrones universe
dusk patrol
Are dragons like the strongest creatures in the game of thrones universe
Generally speaking yeah
viral halo
Are dragons like the strongest creatures in the game of thrones universe
If you don’t count the lord of light
dusk patrol
GoT has a lot of like
Unclear entities and creatures
Dragons are still mysterious but we see what they can do more clearly
viral halo
GRRM is actually a genius at making magic mysterious
queen laurel
If you don’t count the lord of light
Yeah i just mean like on a species to species bases
dusk patrol
And ones like Balerion were capable of destroying the biggest and baddest fort in Westeros by itself
queen laurel
Like out of all the living creatures in the world of game of thrones
dusk patrol
But Balerions fire was a special level of powerful too
queen laurel
It seems that dragons are basically on the top of the food chain
dusk patrol
Like out of all the living creatures in the world of game of thrones
Ignoring sea monsters yeah probably
rocky gale
Amazing how in 300 years from dance of dragons to game of thrones there’s not on...
The Maesters like to keep people complacent
Can't be uprooting the delicate fuedal structure with innovation
queen laurel
Ignoring sea monsters yeah probably
Do the houses use sea monsters in the navy?
dusk patrol
There’s possibly some stuff out there more dangerous but
dusk patrol
Do the houses use sea monsters in the navy?
Not they’re just there
We don’t know much of them
Just that they exist
queen laurel
Not they’re just there
So they can keep dragons but they can't have sea monsters
dusk patrol
GRRM likes to keep stuff mysterious
dusk patrol
So they can keep dragons but they can't have sea monsters
I don’t think we ever see one either way
Dragons also mostly only respond to those with Vlyarian blood
And not even for all of them
How it works is intentionally unclear
Like we don’t even know how they reproduce really
And how their genders work
Why their fire is so powerful and all that
Why some have more powerful fire
How their breeds and looks work and all that
queen laurel
Why some have more powerful fire
So it's basically just these things are just flying monsters that can breathe fire that can basically melt anything
dusk patrol
Also there’s weird stuff like riders of black dragons tending to have fertility and sex drive issues
Which isn’t explained
dusk patrol
So it's basically just these things are just flying monsters that can breathe fi...
Generally yeah
Some of them have much stronger fire
Balerion is the main example of having absurdly deadly fire which could destroy castles
His fire was also actually black
And he was massive
rocky gale
The stone towers of Harrehall melting like candles under his fire
viral halo
Also there’s weird stuff like riders of black dragons tending to have fertility ...
They only wanna fuck dragons
dusk patrol
He was the last dragon ever from old Valyria too I believe
viral halo
Kinda funny how viserys got to ride balerion for like a week
Took him for one flight around kings landing
rocky gale
Although something to keep in mind is one of Balerions last riders, Aerea Targaryen flew him back to the Ruins of Valyria and whatever was there fucked him up
dusk patrol
He was like 200 years old when he died iirc
I really want them to do an Aegon the Conquerer show ngl
viral halo
Although something to keep in mind is one of Balerions last riders, Aerea Targar...
And she got eaten from inside out by worms
dusk patrol
He’s such an interesting character
He was an insanely effective conquerer but he was also super withdrawn and comes across as almost autistic socially
His sisters ran most of the actual ruling stuff
He has huge issues having kids
I really like the concept of him
Also you know
The Black Dread
rocky gale
There's a theory that Aegon never actually had any children, they were all secretly bastards
dusk patrol
Yeah
viral halo
Them targaryen folk sure do be strange
dusk patrol
Also he wasn’t even pure Valyrian
viral halo
I wonder how long they’re gonna drag HOTD out
dusk patrol
Probably 4-5 seasons it seems
viral halo
I think the major war kickoff will be the final year of this season
Cause now we’re still in the seed sowing
dusk patrol
Yeah
viral halo
Ppl ain’t ready for what’s to come
dusk patrol
I think they’ve said they have plans for an Aegon show
And also a Robert’s Rebellion show eventually feels like an obvious choice
Dude Rhaegar vs Robert fuck me I want it so bad
With a proper budget
The whole Battle of the Trident
rocky gale
Demon of the Trident time
rocky gale
Rapidly approaching violence
dusk patrol
Also they could show peak Selmy and Dane
Show the whole sequence of Selmy rescuing Aerys
rocky gale
Oh Defiance of Duskendale
dusk patrol
I can’t recall how far off that is from the Rebellion
But I don’t think it’s too far
I really love the chain of events which leads to what happens too, how Robert didn’t really wanna be king he just wanted Lyanna back, how everyone was looking forward to Rhaegar and was just riding out Aerys being crazy until he died and Rhaegar could take over, Rhaegar and Lynna being stupid and eloping without telling anyone and then Ned’s brother threatening the King which chain reactions it all
Basically how easily it could have just ended with Aerys being a little cooky but dying and then Rhaegar takes over and everyone is happy mostly
rocky gale
Oh we'd have to see the Tourney of Harrenhall as well
dusk patrol
But mfers had to be horny bastards
Look at these two dipshits
And then poor Elia suffers the worst because of it
But yeah it’s a great story and even though we mostly know it all I’d love to see it
Also seeing Robert react to Lynna being dead after he did all that for her thinking she was kidnapped, and now he has to be king when he doesn’t even want that
dusk patrol
I really love Robert’s character of how the war was the best time of his life in many ways while also the worst and he won, but then he not only didn’t get the girl he was doing it all for but he didn’t actually want to rule or be a king.
And he was just dead inside for years while probably knowing or suspecting that Cerseis kids aren’t even his
And not caring really, because he hates Joffrey because he’s a psychopath
rocky gale
"People who seek the throne are the least suited for it" mfers when the person who didn't want to be King is an awful King because they don't want to be King
dusk patrol
And he just lets the Lannisters run all over him and his small council do whatever because he didn’t care
And unfortunately he was so stubborn that he wasn’t gonna even let Ned or Jon Aryyn talk him into being responsible for the sake of the people
dusk patrol
"People who seek the throne are the least suited for it" mfers when the person w...
Turns out having all that power is actually kinda hard if you’re not invested in it
green loom
But I don’t think it’s too far
It's what makes the Mad King properly Mad
So it'd be part of the setup probably
dusk patrol
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
green loom
Following Jamie as a POV char for that would be pretty great
Actually the Defiance of Duskendale would go pretty hard as an opening scene for season 1
dusk patrol
Yeah seeing young Jaime would be cool
Yeah the Defiance is about 5 years prior to the Rebellion
dusk patrol
Yes
dense dawn
I'm on season 3 and the victim mentality on this BITCH is crazy
green loom
The books are better for her iirc
green loom
storm jungle
LMAO
green loom
It's like ideal for some stuff j want to study
dusk patrol
Book Cersei kinda got me hoping Tywin might adopt me ngl
But no somehow the book version felt even worse to read about, she does fucked up stuff
Robert isn’t a good husband for a lot of reasons but she also put basically no effort into fixing that either and she’s the person who raised Joffrey ultimately
storm jungle
Robert is prob one of the best short-lived characters for that reason
basically a warrior that is good for nothing else but fighting, and him basically growing fat and not being a good father kickstarted a lot of the wrong shit
thorn zenith
He pigged out and got pigged out
storm jungle
LOL
dusk patrol
GRRM likes putting a lot of different ways things could have gone right
Like if Selmy doesn’t save Aerys, if Rhaegar and Lynna aren’t horny fucks, if Rhaegar kills Robert, if Lynna doesn’t die, if Brandon doesn’t threaten Rhaegar to Aerys, and so on
storm jungle
Best part of the series tbh, people making honest or dumbass mistakes all due to impulses.
dusk patrol
Granted obviously stuff could have still gone wrong if that had happened but yeah
storm jungle
Yeah its more just these effects making a "speedrun" dilemma where it only hastened it.
dusk patrol
The events which lead to the War of the Five Kings could easily have been averted
Also, if Rob hadn’t been a fucking simp for some girl he knocked up jfc Rob I get honor but come on
storm jungle
Its the same reason I love the Red Wedding, people only focus on the aspect of "omg a lot of main characters die out of nowhere this is so grimdark and tragic!"
When like, after it happens when you take a step back you notice Robb legit fucked up in the worst way possible and also hastened his end, obviously the Freys/Boltons were never trustworthy but all his emotional turmoil basically led to him, his mom, his wife and all his bannermen being slaughtered.
its some good shit
dusk patrol
Also Karstag and how he handles that
storm jungle
YEP many dominoes
dusk patrol
There’s multiple times he could have still won pretty easily
Because if he doesn’t lose Karstag then Boltons and Frey probably don’t turn
It would be suicide for them to
And he wouldn’t need the Freys anyways technically
storm jungle
Its one of the more realistic parts i like in the books
EVERY ally of Robb wants something
rocky gale
Is it not Karstark?
storm jungle
and has their own needs, they arent just NPCs
rocky gale
Shame
storm jungle
yeah there is a lot of Houses under his banner
the show barely covers most of them since they dont put any effort into their heraldries, drip and such minus a few like the Tully's lol
which is one part of HotD I immensely like in comparison
storm jungle
There’s multiple times he could have still won pretty easily
Also Tywin with his fucking "Its better to murder dozen at a wedding than kill thousands in a war"
Same man that unleashed the Hound and his cronies to slaughter innocent people across the Riverlands lol
rocky gale
Riverlands get that focus because their whole deal is being fairly divided due to having quite a weak liege
storm jungle
also their ancestors being named after Muppets
peak writing, id do the same tbh
rocky gale
It’s just funny like the Tullys aren’t really that special compared to all the other fancy Lord Paramounts, like their lands are smaller than most of their own vassals
dusk patrol
“GRRM is one of the best fantasy authors of our time.”
Also GRRM:
storm jungle

Yeah but they have the Blackfish
storm jungle
also this
dusk patrol
Does anyone else have the Blackfish?
storm jungle
Blackfish Supreme
dusk patrol
Nope
rocky gale
They don’t own a great city and their keep isn’t the most impressive in the Riverlands, they’re basically just the guy that was standing closest to Aegon when he got to the Riverlands
storm jungle
well yeah thats the realistic bit again
dusk patrol
storm jungle
you dont really get these things through the stuff you mentioned half the time
its a matter of time, place and many other things
its what makes IRL history stuff also interesting
rocky gale
Yea it’s just long standing tradition of competence and not being a dick
celest dome
“GRRM is one of the best fantasy authors of our time.”
Also GRRM:
Do people claim that though ?
dusk patrol
I mean I think he is
green loom
They don’t own a great city and their keep isn’t the most impressive in the Rive...
They're semi reasonable and big enough
storm jungle
Hes one of the best fantasy authors.
dusk patrol
I also think Tolkien is a great author with some goofy stuff too
Any prolific author is gonna have some silly stuff or whatever
storm jungle
As much as people wave away ASOIAF for having so much grimdark aspects they really got no idea how good the plot, characters and the world itself is.
dusk patrol
Well yeah because War of the Roses was written really well
storm jungle
its like looking at 40k and going "its just people killing each other i dont care about it or want to get into it"
storm jungle
Well yeah because War of the Roses was written really well
LOL

celest dome
He is a great author sure, but hardly the best I'd say
dusk patrol
I said one of the best fantasy authors of our time
storm jungle

dusk patrol
Which I think isn’t that controversial of a take
Tolkien isn’t “of our time” to be clear
storm jungle
Tolkien definitely sits on the high chair but theres lots of good authors beneath him, especially through influence.
rocky gale
A friend of mine refused to get into it because she read parts of it and was like “but I hate Tyrion, he seems so evil” yea he’s supposed to.

Mans just wanted to play with his languages
rocky gale
Tyrions whole thing is deep down he is actually quite a horrible person, but he still regularly does the right thing (even if it’s sometimes for the wrong reasons) and despite doing the right thing he still gets shit on for it anyway.
dusk patrol
Tbh I think it’s just like his siblings, his dad fucked him up bad
storm jungle
I definitely understand when people dont like GoT but calling it bad fiction is usually what irks me. But I also understand why since the grimdark appeal is one of its big drawing points and what made it a big sensation
dusk patrol
And it all goes downhill from there
dusk patrol
A lot of things probably change if Joanna doesn’t die in childbirth

How better is the book compared to the tv series
storm jungle
Just reminded me I need to watch alt shift x’s video on “The real Jon Snow”
Its a great vid, love his content
dusk patrol
Tywin had hatred for his dad for basically taking whores into their house to replace his mom who died too
rocky gale
Yea love him and Glidus, just haven’t got round to that vid yet
queen laurel
Because the tv series after a few seasons in you begin to want to pull your hair out apparently
storm jungle
How better is the book compared to the tv series
The book is incredibly complex compared to the show, theres an immense amount of plot threads going on with a bit too much realistic events and happenings at times
dusk patrol
Which made him hate Tyrion for going to brothels
storm jungle
like George wrote so many threads he has quite literally binded himself in them lol
green loom
The book is incredibly complex compared to the show, theres an immense amount of...
Also actual world building!
storm jungle
he admitted as much himself
dusk patrol
Yeah
storm jungle
Yeah thats one issue with like
treating every character realistically
all their wants/needs entangle each other
queen laurel
The book is incredibly complex compared to the show, theres an immense amount of...
Then i'll take that it's better
green loom
Very much enjoying the pretty soldiers all the different houses have
storm jungle
this isnt a problem with warhammer where like almost every character is a cartoon or one dimensional
queen laurel
There's no way it can be worse than than the show
storm jungle
like Horus just wants to kill the Emperor and is being kinda manipulated, thats it
meanwhile you can write an entire essay on Littlefinger
dusk patrol
Then i'll take that it's better
Mostly yeah, not all stuff but it has way more going on
dusk patrol
It wouldn’t all translate well
storm jungle
like to the point of brain exhaustion
dusk patrol
There’s a lot more characters and GoT already arguable has too many characters
rocky gale
Although I will say GRRM plays favourites, like Blackwood’s always win
queen laurel
Unless you appreciate that sort of writing it can get super complex
There is a reason why i like brooks, i'm not much for deep plots and my favorite warhammer army is the iron jaws, i'm as simple as a Brute
rocky gale
Bracken and Peake always lose
queen laurel
So probably not going to try it
dusk patrol
It’s really obvious he loved Daemon
green loom
Although I will say GRRM plays favourites, like Blackwood’s always win
The show is actually handling that pretty nicely lol
rocky gale
Yea
dusk patrol
But I can’t blame him Daemon is a really fun character
green loom
Like the Burning Mill is way more overtly Bracken-favoured in the show
rocky gale
Luv me Celtigars
green loom
And Amos Bracken survives
storm jungle
Them having feuds over shit like naming a pair of hills over a maiden's tits is some peak writing
dusk patrol
Luv my Darklyns
rocky gale
green loom
Both houses are also portrayed as crazy unhinged
storm jungle
Yeah it fits too, its why i love that off-screen battle
whoever says that shit is silly should look up the War of the Bucket
lol
green loom
It makes you go "wtf seriously?"
Then you meet tue houses properly with Willem/Amos and the small council/Simon Strong elaborate
And now it makes sense
rocky gale
Burning Mill in the show is perfect, as it encapsulates perfectly the entirety of the Dance
queen laurel
whoever says that shit is silly should look up the War of the Bucket
Me watching humanity kill itself as i accidentally give them the wrong cookie
rocky gale
A petty squabble where no one truly wins, while thousands die
green loom
Sidenote, love Beria as Simon
dusk patrol
It does make for good drama though
storm jungle
I really want them to do an Aegon series
Its gonna happen at some point, probably mid-point during the Dunc/Egg maybe
dusk patrol
Yeah
storm jungle
we do have production shots of the prior already
rocky gale
Blackfyre show though?
dusk patrol
Dunc and Egg I’m really looking forward to
storm jungle
Same, i love them
storm jungle
Blackfyre show though?
Thats probably way down the line if the shows we are getting end up good.
Im only worried about bloat, i dont want these to end up like MCU shows.
storm jungle
This is basically Ferrus/Fulgrim but Good Ending
dusk patrol
I wanna see that wife stealing twink get his lungs caved in
dusk patrol
But seriously it’s such a cool duel
And GRRM normally doesn’t do the whole “Duel of Fates” thing
But their duel is actually a super key duel between two of the absolute pinnacle of their age without any real tricks
They both almost get the other and it’s a straight up prolonged fight
And the Trident is so cool and also
Robert is the only guy whose not a dipshit using a sword
dusk patrol
I get they’re cool but GRRM
You can’t keep describing everyone in plate
And then everyone using swords
Like fuck me give someone a mace
viral halo
Its gonna happen at some point, probably mid-point during the Dunc/Egg maybe
Is dunkinegg worth reading

Elsewhere in the galaxy, the forge world of Gryphonne IV is dead. Consumed by the relentless Hive Fleet Leviathan, only a handful of Magi survived, now devoid of purpose. Explorator Talin Sherax refuses to let hope die, and after learning of a powerful relic that could return everything to its former glory, she sets off on a long and dangerous journey.
Dominion Genesis by Jonathan D Beer is an epic quest into the unknown, where protagonist Talin feels the pull of heresy keenly, as she attempts to turn back time for the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Denny Flowers returns with a new tale of unparalleled odds, as Lucille, broken by war and reputation crumbling, must face off against a seemingly invincible xenos mercenary in Above and Beyond.
Sandy Mitchell, the author of the Ciaphas Cain novels, had this to say:
“Outgunned had everything I want from a Warhammer 40,000 novel: compelling characters, a gripping narrative delivered in crisp, deft prose, and things going fast and exploding. Above and Beyond more than lives up to its title, having all these things again but bigger and better, and revealing more of the wider picture merely hinted at in the first volume. Simlex and Shard are rapidly becoming the most iconic double act since Gotrek and Felix, and I’m eagerly awaiting their next adventure.”

Yeah the books dont make a lot of money minus some very rare cases where its like a central thing ala End and the Death or some other big title.

The rumour I've heard is GW plan to stop all Resin produciton by 2025/26 because of tax changes coming in the UK which will make it less financially viable, so they're currently releasing and selling all the backlog resign models they have before then

Yeah you can thank the community for that
dusk patrol
It's almost as if giving credit is the industry standard
Artists can still easily claim credits and many do on stuff like art station
It’s not like when they’re applying job they wouldn’t have a portfolio showing their stuff

You can pretty easily tell when Lewis Jones or Miguel Iglesias made a piece

That is if you know who the artist is in the first place
Which the codex won't tell you

They decided a long time ago that was gonna be the policy

And I am still malding about it

John Blanche was who set the policy
They didn’t do it for no reason
We frankly don’t need to know about for the artists purposes it’s not like it’s hard to claim what they do
fallen plaza
No one would fund Duncan Rhodes Kickstarter if all they saw where a bunch of hands
It's a basic industry standard, credit is how artist are known and get hired, to hide them in the veneer of harrassment removes them of that
Art station is mostly for industry professionals, the average player won't bother to go there

The artists they hire are usually pretty high profile industry professionals lmao

It’s literally illegal for employers to deny if you worked for them and did something
plush mason
yup
dusk patrol
And they can’t even mention if you sucked or whatever, it’s just verification of work
rocky gale
Feel like yous are talking about two different thing with the artists and the painting team, the artists are fine with the policy because it protects them to an extent, the painting team however were not all onboard with the "only hands" policy change because it was a GW policy that was deliberately made to stop the painters gaining recognition from the painting tutorial videos.
dusk patrol
This policy went into place like
Almost 20 years ago now
15-16 actually but still
It was largely due to the whole Ward episode and the growing online component
It’s also silly to act like GW has to care about people trying to build their own fame from videos the company produces, if those people wanna leave and go independent they always can.
rocky gale
Again you're talking about different policies
The Art Policy was almost 20 years ago, the policy for the Painting team was in the past couple of years
dusk patrol
It’s moot for either, it’s not some mystery joining them what the deal is and their reasons for both are valid, GW decided they wanted a specific setup for their videos and they chose that, they don’t owe anyone screen time or whatever
No ones holding a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to make these videos and considering the quality they still have for them and the new art and all that it definitely doesn’t seem to dissuade people.
Really my only major complaint is new codex lore is super sparse and I seriously doubt that has anything to do with crediting writers considering they did fine with that for over a decade.
rocky gale
No ones holding a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to make these videos and...
Sure not really arguing with you, was just pointing out that it seemed like yous were argueing about two different policies for two different teams like they were the same thing.
Plus GW has already walked back the Policy for the Painting Team because it was pretty unpopular with both the presenters and community.
dusk patrol
More we were specifically talking about the policy which Blanche set years ago and someone brought up an entirely different thing for no reason
rocky gale
It was you and Zimmer talking about it, but you were talking about Blanche and he was talking about Duncan Rhodes
So it seemed like he was conflating the two policies for the different teams like they were one thing

They're mostly atmospheric, but they can also be completely sealed with internal oxygen supplies for both the crew and engines, so it's got limited spaceborn capability
So for the purpose we're using it for it's still fine

Going by rules Hellblasters' Plasma incinerators are probably automatic because of the Assault keyword they've got
