I find the waist attachment on those are an arse.

Oh, it's very much an analogy

A portrait of Harrowhark Nonagesimus from the Locked Tomb series. A spooky figure clad in dark clothing further adorned with skeletal ornaments. She's got short black hair and her face is fully painted like a skull.

I've just finished the trilogy and I'm officially joining the Alecto waiting room.

Well, quite.

It's the assumption that because I am hurtling towards 50, I must need some pharmaceutical assistance.

Thanks, Zuckbook Al Gore Rhythm. I have no interest in getting generic blue pills.

Still pleases me that the default sergeant head in the Kasrkin box is female coded.

Already have extant commo dude, 2 plasma gunners, sniper.

Build 2 Grenade launcher gunners
Build 1 Melta gunner
Build 1 Flamer Gunner
Build new Auspex Dude (Current has a HSVG, not the end of the world, but hey)
Build Medic
Build Demolitionist

Leave others on sprue for narrative projects.

I have acquired a new box of Kasrkin, as my previous 40k squad is not Killteam compliant and I built the Sergeant as 9e compliant so not good for KT or 10e!

The plan:
Build "Unbroken" as my KT Sergeant - HS Laspistol and Power Weapon.
Build new box sergeant as my 40k Sergeant - Plasma/Power Weapon

I have the Kazzy Sergeant painted up in white armour.

I hope not, I don't have the time for that.

Indeed.

Yeah. The longer one is meant for two handed use.

Helmet and jump pack properly requisitioned.

No, some beardy lads in North Yorkshire; Raven Forge.

Also, it's half eight in the morning and Raksha is already bleating at me to go back to bed.

An arming sword and a long sword, both in black scabbards, on the office chair of a geek.

My sword came with a free sword

Feline guardswomen and Werewolf auxilliaries. It writes itself.

Here's a thought. I'm sure there'll be some STLs out there for werewolves, possibly with guns, which you could scale to match and proxy for Ogryn in 40k

Yes, definitely.

The problem is not the faction, but the subset of players who are too into that faction. And I don't want to encounter them.

Even H.G. Wells didn't discount girls from playing historical wargames in 1913...

There's too much scope for people who are a bit /too/ into that faction IYKWIM.

Fuck's sake, I knew an older kid back in 1e 40k who painted his marines as The Crap Mustache Guy Youth. Thankfully I did not maintain contact with him, as I was at an impressionable age.

This put me off playing Konflict 47. I'm annoyed at this, because K47 looked like a fun game. It has WW2 diesel futurism and mad science. And, most importantly, no Hugo Boss 1934 collection Spicy Windmill Boys. As an aside, I had no interest in Bolt Action due to a Spicy Windmill faction.

I know.
Any excuse other than "We fear girl cooties"
I want more people to play. I want a greater and more diverse pool of people to play games with. I want to see what awesome and imaginative shit they come up with.

This is like demanding historical accuracy for orcs and elves in rubber sword larp.

03.02.2026 16:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agreed. And my wife agrees also. A friend of mine is a bit "Yeah, but sexy werewolf boys"

03.02.2026 16:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

This turned me off getting into Konflict 47.
My too-many warhammer factions appreciate this.
