He/him with opinions and lukewarm takes about things. Things like Battletech, Warhammer, archaeology, metal and left wing politics. Also I love cats.

Sadly all of those categories are the same mini for me

Mechs are for a great game about cool fights but terrible at the parts of a planetary invasion that donโ€™t involve blowing stuff up with maximum violence. A bit like tanks or aircraft in that regard.
Infantry and their supporting vehicles should still be the bulk of an invading or defensive force.

Cool, I was considering getting some Epic scale Rhinos from Legions Imperialis to use as APCs but these are really cool too. What kind of models are these?

Itโ€™s a good thing tho, a nice yardstick to measure how your skills have improved.
Thatโ€™s why you should always keep the first miniature you were really proud of in a prominent spot.

I was kinda sad to see that the model for Jake showed his age (I assume heโ€™s 18 when the game starts in 3015) but they did not update Rihannaโ€™s model. She must be 60+ by 3050. Maybe she went to Canopus for some Star League lostech grade plastic surgery in 3048 because she sure doesnโ€™t look like it.

The yellow paint scheme was the deciding factor for me to pick the 3rd Fusiliers instead of the 1st Cuirassiers. Itโ€™s just such a pain in the ass to paint, although Iโ€™ve found Salamanders green to be almost impossible to get right with speed paints too.
Regardless, you did very nice job on these!

I guess itโ€™s a Halloween party because that lady in yellow has some very convincing zombie makeup on

I know a guy that owns a patch of forest near Arnhem where the trees a so riddled with shrapnel you canโ€™t cut them down with a chainsaw because you run the risk of the chain snagging and breaking.

WW2 legacy is weird sometimes

Most of them donโ€™t own or paint miniatures anyway.

I thought Infinity was all about corporate security in power armor fighting cyber-ninjas but that lady in the second picture with the not-AK looks like she could be manning a trench in the Donbass this very moment.

That would endanger maximizing shareholder value and we canโ€™t have that

So much valuable concent has been purged from the Warcom site itโ€™s actually kinda depressing.
I write down the paint schemes for my models and note the source if any. 75% of the links to Warcom articles are dead now.

Maybe the waybackmachine still has some archived but I havenโ€™t checked.

About ten years ago my 10 year cousin commented that a MLP toy she got for her birthday was too big. Her other MLP toys were smaller and this was one of the big ones. โ€œThatโ€™s not a little pony, that one is almost as big as the cat.โ€

Weโ€™re about a decade away from irl Running Man shows in my estimation

I made the mistake of buying the WE codex when it came out despite not playing this edition. The lack of lore, not to mention the army list feeling like it was missing half the units, really put me off from trying to rebuild my old army from 5th edition for the modern dayโ€ฆ

They already do. They claim nazis were socialists because they called it national socialism.
Being objectively wrong never stopped facists

Oh god yes. You rock up to play WH Old World with your Greenskin army with the mono pose Orcs you got in the 6E starterbox and he just goes off about tourists being posers trying too hard with Old/Middle hammer stuff.
Not that he plays OW, not enough clear fascists in that setting.

I too think itโ€™s a good thing he stuck to the lore. Can you imagine having to play a game with a tourist chud like this? A constant diatribe of racist complaints as he pushes his Waffen SS themed Black Templars around and shouts For the Emperor at full volume. Thank the Pantheon we avoided thatโ€ฆ

Youโ€™d think the French of all people would appreciate the need to have a cigarette. Maybe switch to Gauloises Blue?

I love the Merlin, itโ€™s one of the best heavy trooper designs. Too bad only mercs and Periphery states really have access to it, but I guess that was the market Mountain Wolf was targeting so itโ€™s appropriate.
