where's kyle katarn in all this

arctic talon

lol

steel ingot
#

where's my goat

arctic talon
#

Kyle Katarn is canon whenever the fuck Lucasart feels like it

#

and whenever I feel like he is

heady rivet
#

To this day one of the greatest writing fumbles of all time, making the bad guys just plain correct and genuinely victims

jade holly
#

Has anyone here seen the bug in Battlefront 2 of Grievous flying across the map to kill a sniper?

steel ingot
#

trying to remember that one lucasarts game where you played as a bounty hunter with a really funky looking ship

#

i remember his ship being put in the special edition of ep1

rocky gale
#

He opens with his Clone Wars form, before realising he's no longer that man and switches to the form he uses in New Hope, then pauses realising that unlike him Maul is unable to move on from the past, so he switches to Qui-Gon's form from Phantom Menace hoping Maul will attempt the same move he did with Qui-Gon and when he does, he counters it.

General Rahm Kota my beloved

My favorite Jedi is Plo Koon tbh

Plo Koon is so cool

also their old fighters were odd

hollow lantern
#

These stupid fucking things

arctic talon

tbh

#

their tech looking fucking weird makes sense imo

languid meadow
#

like what is going on here

jade holly
#

Did Jango still fucking despise Jedi outside of Legends too?

arctic talon

considering how they probably just went "fucking good enough to kill people"

hollow lantern

I like how weird their tech looks tbh

Is it bad I feel 0 sympathy for the Mandos getting bombed back to the stone age

Look

arctic talon

considering they tried to do genocide like

imagine drunk driving one of these things bro

arctic talon
#

the Disney canon is like

#

the one time I've felt

#

bad lol

languid meadow
#

the new Kom'raks are so cool

arctic talon
#

for Mandalorians getting fucking slaughtered en mass

#

because they didn't do genocide this time

#

and got bombed into the fucking stone age

jade holly

I still think my favorite Mandalorian fact is how they fight Jedi

languid meadow
jade holly

They invented fucking buckshot to counter them deflecting blasters

arctic talon

Yeah I love the design of the mandalorian ships in Clone wars and onwards lol

Do you think the Jopall would get away with making their own weapons?

steel ingot

Sonic weapons are cool

winged jacinth

they fucking killed the name slave 1 in a lot of marketing

arctic talon
#

In both Lucasart stuff and in Disney stuff

heady rivet
arctic talon
#

it seems to just stop existing

#

after a time period lol

languid meadow
#

just called the "firespray" or boba fetts ship

rocky gale
#

Was it not the Slave 1 because it was a test ship, where all of it's systems were slaved meaning it could be piloted by a single person rather than needing a crew.

arctic talon
#

Firespray is the class of the ship

hollow lantern
#

So like

#

There's I think 4 or 5 origins for the ship

languid meadow
#

they don't want to use the name slave-1

steel ingot

I think BOBF he calls it the firespray as well

hollow lantern
winged jacinth
#

Parents don't like buying that for their kids

steel ingot
#

im doubting you right now to your face

arctic talon
#

It seems to just be a stolen police gunship

#

lol

queen laurel
jade holly
#

In lore didn’t Jango call it that because he himself was a slave when he obtained it?

steel ingot
#

why the cops got fucking BASE BOOST BOMBS

winged jacinth
#

"Mom can i get the slave 1"

nocturne crest

I kind of like the design of the wookie gunship.

Ever since Episode 2 Jango Fett was the coolest dude in Star Wars to me

#

Him and Grievous are my favorite characters

the slave 1 looks like ass don't @ me

stop posting this white woman god

jade holly

Jango is just a full blown space cowboy

she looks like she's gonna ask me for the manager

it's one of the worst looking og ship

I think my favorite lore decision in star wars was to have both midichlorians and crystal jedi

arctic talon
winged jacinth
#

Just, sure

arctic talon
#

but there's like

#

1 fucking mandalorian jedi

#

and the Mandalorians were aligned with the sith empire

#

and thats a good source of violent psychopaths

jade holly
#

The Soulless One is sick too

arctic talon
#

for the sith empire

#

considering how they were churning out cannon fodder tier sith for the war

heady rivet
#

I think this is twice now Larmouth has been woman-pilled by me

winged jacinth
#

Could you blood dope for midichlorians to be the lance armstrong of jedi

arctic talon
#

same applies to the Jedi though lol

#

so many cannon fodder tier jedi

#

and sith during that time period

vagrant fox
jade holly
#

But when it comes to ships commanded by Grievous, nothing beats the Malevolence

Would it be wrong to do a guard army based on Girls und panzer?

Do mechanicus types get cyberpsychosis?

winged jacinth
#

Its a fun school sport for them

steel ingot

no

arctic talon
celest dome

#

Cyber psychosis is just normal psychosis in universe for cyberpunk

steel ingot
winged jacinth
steel ingot
#

they are religious to BECOME machines they love it

jade holly
#

Damn wrong ping

steel ingot
#

plus also conceptually cyberpsychosis does not even fit within the world of 40k

arctic talon
#

Most people in the mechanicus are not well mentally

#

lol

spring cairn
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Cyberpsychosis is more of a critique on the human condition and trans humanism lol

queen laurel
#

if anything it's gonna be light work for him

jade holly
arctic talon
#

By pondsmith

spring cairn
#

it was just because the hyena bomber wasn't a thing when they made the game so they just picked some bs

steel ingot
#

cyberpsychosis is a balancing point for his tabletop foremostly

arctic talon
#

That also

#

lol

winged jacinth
#

Most people in the cult mechanicus are wackos from growing up in a literal cult before they get plasteeled up

queen laurel
steel ingot
#

dont want your players just chromed up to the nines and just be invincible

arctic talon
#

It’s much less rigid in lore then on Tabletop

#

Is something to be noted as well

jade holly
#

But if we’re talking iconic CIS Star fighters we need to talk about this legend

#

vulture Droid my beloved

rocky gale
winged jacinth
#

Yeah at least in RED its basically just to justify a balance mechanisn

steel ingot
#

girls panzer seems like an anime for people who like to say they're big fans of ww2 history

arctic talon
#

Same with 2020 and 2013 lol

steel ingot
#

take that as you will

winged jacinth
#

(Havent played those)

#

Red kinda sucks!

steel ingot
#

well like

#

it was made to be a companion to the game

#

and not a like full fledged tabletop

#

how it is you know

Also netrunning is an atrocity in 2020

winged jacinth
#

They really stripped back the rules and it suffers for it, plus classic cyberpunk problems

rocky gale
steel ingot
#

i really like old school cyberpunk for its tamped back technology

arctic talon
#

Tbh I prefer RED over 2020 but it has issues

lol

like cyberdecks being a literal actual thing you gotta whip out and use

The kind that have to stay put instead of being wireless wizards at least

steel ingot
#

ive been trying to figure who ate the lunch first, cyberpunk or shadowrun cause they're both a like late 80s invention

arctic talon
#

There’s a few net runners with like

steel ingot
#

and their tech lingo and stuff is SO samey

arctic talon
#

Physical cyberdecks

steel ingot
#

but one is cooler by several margins

jade holly
steel ingot
#

(its shadowrun ive had so much fun playing that tabletop its so cool)

arctic talon
#

lol

#

1988

winged jacinth
#

Its a design antipattern for a character to basically exist on two maps

arctic talon
#

1989 for Shadowrun

#

Likely there was some common source

nocturne crest
#

BTW, can we all agree that this is the worst tie variant?

I did a run with some friends where i played as a adept troll named bigass and i love him so much

nocturne crest
#

I do actually like, but is probably ass against other tie fighters.

winged jacinth
#

Both ttrpgs read neuromancer

steel ingot
#

if it wasnt for our decker we woulda died a million times i was mostly a weight on the team

#

but still bigass team mascot

#

not to say i never enjoyed the tabletop of cyberpunk

arctic talon
#

Deadass Star Wars squadrons made me appreciate the TIE fighter more

#

That shit is actually terrifying lol

steel ingot
#

i just like shadowrun more cause i think having magic bullshit is a lot of fun

arctic talon

No shields sucks, but you’re so fucking fast lol

jade holly

So, what would happen if Ghazghkull won at Armageddon coming up?

arctic talon
#

And it’s just got a much better view port

Then the chud X-wing

I miss star wars squadrons

big fight

#

more places to fight

arctic talon
steel ingot
#

you gotta understand

#

orks dont fight to conquer worlds

#

they fight to have more places to fight

jade holly
#

I mean specifically for Ghazghkull himself. What would a victory at Armageddon entail for him

steel ingot
#

if ghazgull wins, he will use it as a way to take his WAAGH somewhere else

arctic talon
#

Helps that your empire POV character is a hardcore facist lol

#

As well

steel ingot

what arent you getting, he would be the baddest ork who ever lived and every ork ever would follow him

He’s literally the prophet of Gork and Mork, he’s trying to kick up a waaagh to end all waaagh

arctic talon
#

You get to just fucking rend apart any other small ship lol

steel ingot

well use your head, what would that mean past armageddon

viral halo
#

The X wing was fun but just so slow

glossy sonnet
#

My first set

steel ingot
#

it would mean the greater rest of the sector

#

a green tide

winged jacinth
#

If there's anything special about armageddon its war of the beast stuff none of us want to think about

rocky gale
#

I love my little squadron

jade holly
#

Alright I’m gonna ask from this angle:

If Ghazghkull wins at Armageddon and the Great Waaagh officially begins, could it reach War in Heaven levels of destruction

steel ingot
#

enh maybe

#

prolly not

viral halo
#

The best feeling in squadrons was drifting and straight up flipping around on someone and smoking them

steel ingot
#

just more giant ork battles

#

it would be armaggeddon 4

nocturne crest
winged jacinth
#

From a 4th wall perspective of course not

#

He'll stall out somewhere else

arctic talon
nocturne crest
#

Like, thrusters the size of hive cities.

jade holly
#

I only ask cause if Ghaz gets any closer to becoming a new Beast or Krork level threat, wouldn’t the Necron’s mobilize and then seeing the Necrons mobilize the Eldar would then too?

arctic talon
#

The New Repbulic ships being tankier but slower(except for the A-Wing) fit well

viral halo
arctic talon
#

the empires ships being meth addicted freaks with really easy to change power settings

#

is also great lol

winged jacinth
#

I think trazyn already has eyes on armageddon and might get involved

arctic talon

Like being able to just dump all your power into your blasters instantly

arctic talon

This shit was infact aura tbh

steel ingot
#

i really enjoyed the cockpit views so much

#

i like the bespoke stuff

winged jacinth

If ghaz gets much bigger he'll probably fight gulliman directly or something and it will suck

arctic talon
#

tbh its kind of crazy how much better the Empire cockpits were on average ngl

#

you get so much vision lol

steel ingot
#

as someone who had been playing air combat stuff for years it was lotta fun

#

toobad the game ran like doo doo

arctic talon

for your piece of crap that will instantly die if breathed on too hard

and no one played it

also its microtransaction hellscape :/

the big problem with squadrons is it seems to struggle with starting on windows 11 computers

but I think it's just a compability mode fix

#

also runs perfectly on steam deck

steel ingot

i think windows 11 computers struggle starting

to be fair

I like the TIE interceptor and A-wing so much lol

my stupid chud interceptors that instantly die

was kinda cool in campaign seeing a clone wars crusier in that nebula

i think there's an issue of 40k games that arent about the imperium dying very quickly or falling by the wayside

general gamers dont know or care about not the imperium which sucks

On the topic of story stuff, could we ever get a campaign in the future involving a rather large breakout at Solemance via a faction breaking in and Trazyn having to get it under control?

rocky gale
#

Jarik was only using the military as a stepping stone to politics, so his military records are incredibly tailored and he takes great effort to shift blame on others to avoid it going against him when he enters politics.

rocky gale

He framed his second in command for treason because he'd started a rumour that Jarik was sleeping with a subordinate.

jade holly

Oh your OCs I got confused

I like it

He was sleeping with his subordinate, he just didn't appreciate it being spread.

And derailed the entire campaign

arctic talon
#

But the way I can break down each faction in Aeronautica

Imperial: close range brawler, slow as fuck, good acceleration, fat fucks

Muhrines: same as imperial but faster and more fat, worse guns and less missiles

Chaos: longer ranged brawler, excellent turn radius with daemon stuff, shared imperial and marine stuff is the same

Craftworld eldar; fast as fuck, decently durable, good range, hits absurdly hard, only 1 crew per plane

Tau: long ranged, slow planes, tanky, invis, drone spam out the ass

Necrons: best at everything, ignore crew mechanics, expensive as hell

Orks; fast as hell, cheap as fuck, hit hard as hell, die easy as hell

vagrant fox
#

Nah, ordained priesthood vs holy warriors

tech priests are members of the cult and skitarii are soldiers

Priests can overlap a bit with skitarii but skitarii have a defined role

I see, also, admech is just "adeptus mechanicus" right? or is just another branch for the mars army?

yeah its adeptus mechanicus

Aig, also, when it comes to soldiers only skitari do the work? or are there more?

Rate my first ever painted mini

The base is my least favorite part

hallow saddle

good shit

paint more minis

storm jungle

A lot of dark but still pretty good

jade holly

I plan to

jade holly

I’m personally proud of the silver trimming

And how I cleaned up where I went over the edges

hallow saddle
#

u'll be doing that a lot for your first bunch of minis

jade holly
#

Frankly I’m amazed I did that good with how tiny some of the spaces are

hallow saddle
#

so good practice for sure

jade holly
#

That mini is considered tabletop ready?

hallow saddle
#

yeah i'd say so

storm jungle
#

i mean

hallow saddle
#

one thing, paint the rim of the base

storm jungle

its painted

#

which is more than we can say for some people

hallow saddle

base rim is an easy win right there and its super satisfying

jade holly

It’s just kinda hard to see

hallow saddle

go back over it as the very last thing

so its clean

but ya i cant really see very well tbh

Yeah the base is my least favorite part, I was working with very limited paint option

I used Steel Legion Dust, they won’t be needing that paint for a while

you get 10 of those on the table and theyll look cool

if the tau can tough it out and not degrade will they not become the most powerful in the setting in a few thousand years?

Ironically the lens I thought I messed up on looks better than the other one

proper sparrow

humanity ain't gonna advance that much unless emporer comes back, aeldar are beyond saving, idk if necrons will be more powerful if they get their old bodies back but they are also degrading, orcs? i genuinely don't fucking know if they gonna mutate into krorks and grape the galaxy, and tyranids will slowly get stronger, also chaos but like chaos loses if humanity and aeldari get graped

are they currently clashing? because humanity made it to a golden age where they rivaled or even surpassed aeldar and necrons, and ik necrons have insane tech bullshit but even if they don't surpass them, the slow grind of the imperium and other factions will surely chew em down

thats not to say they were incompetent

They needed the more advanced bodies for the nobles, the mudhut dwelling commonfolk including the children got the dregs that can just follow orders

but Obyron got picked not because he was the most skilled kidnapped child that they trained into a proto lychguard

but because he was the tallest in his bunch
