Victory Pointless

For a second there I was certain the sign read 'Stronger Economy, Stronger Bonkers'.

Except for Blood Angels - they just have a teardrop icon on their right pauldron because of how sad they are that people keep stacking them upside down.

I thought the 'Mountains of Madness'-esque setting was interesting, or at least would have been if it was a completely different movie that wasn't tied to either of those two franchises.

"There's a program which is detrimental to this country... and *we* ought to be running it!"

Nachmund Gauntlet – Chapter Five: Blood Hunt Barrakhad stalked through the ruins, enjoying the solitude.  At least, as much solitude as a Phaeron could ever enjoy.  Glokht the master of Assassins had joined the hunt and no doubt had…

Several sections of painted Tomb World wall terrain.

I've painted up a few sections of Necron Tomb World terrain. I originally wanted this just to use as background for photographing other models, but I'm now tempted to get a second set to use for Boarding Actions. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

I know what you mean. Modern White Dwarf feels very sterile.

Burna boyz!

My #40k crusade group has started a new Nachmund Gauntlet campaign and as usual I’m writing a campaign diary at victorypointless.com. This time though I’m trying to keep everything in-narrative so it can be read as one continuous story. First 3 entries up.

Not very mighty... but definitely useful!

It's exactly what I thought they'd be like, but even I am amazed at just what a long string of completely unforced errors they've managed.

Ten years ago, I'd have said there's no way anybody could really be that stupid, he must just be putting it on as engagement bait.

It's been a rough decade.

As a wise man once said; 'Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four bio-adapting a giant monster with scythes for hands'. Or something like that, anyway.

The direct link seems to 404, but going via the homepage should work: www.dicendamage.com. Something else to fix...

This is not fully validated yet (so use at your own peril), but it looks right-ish(?). One slight flaw it did highlight in my original method is that the damage you get from an average set of rolls and the average damage from all possible rolls are not *always* the same thing. To Be Addressed...

This was horribly painful to work out - I ended up having to throw my whole approach out and rewrite it several times when introducing lethal/sustained hits, devastating wounds etc. broke everything. But, some pretty interesting distributions come out, so... worth it?

I've made some tweaks to my www.dicendamage.com/Warhammer40k 40k damage calculator to show probability distributions instead of just averages. #warhammercommunity

Maybe literally, if Waaagh energy counts as 'aura'.

I hope it's still canon that Tyranid hive ships have all that funky psychedelic mood lighting inside.

Here it is in its inaugural game yesterday, facing down some angry Meganobz whose trukk it just melted. (It did not live much longer.)
