    So just checking 40k stuff. Why didn't anyone tell me that Orks got new flying units. Non-forgeworld ones. I want so badly. My Ork army already has a shit ton of stormboyz. This would just add to it.

    I need jet engines to put on my trucks. Hmmmm.....

    /comforts Mazzy's wallet

    there there, don't cry

    I haven't bought anything since last July since grad school has eaten all my play time. I really want to finish my orks. My chaos are going into retirement until the new edition and new codex.

    One of the Ork bombers if you roll snake eyes gets dragged with the missile into the target and explodes. You can have kamikaze orks!

    Isn't that pretty much the premise of Orks in general? Half the time their shit doesn't work but it's hilarious anyway?

    I've just seen summaries of the rules and bought some space marines once upon a time to paint but never finished.

    I got a set of warhammer fantasy dryads too -- I wanted to make a set of space marines + black templar doo dads + dryad parts to make marines that came back out of the warp all chaos-ed up and evil just for the sake of modelling and painting them.

    Aaaand they are all sitting in the closet gathering dust. I need to look into some sort of mini skirmish rules out there like Infinity. Maybe Mordheim/Necromunda are the answer? I dunno.

    Oh I understand. Only way to really get into 40k is to have friends who play it. I had a pretty good group at my local game store who played 40k. I wouldn't mind going and playing a few games.

    Necromunda is pretty cool from what I hear. I wanted to try Infinity at PAX last year but never got the chance.

    I want a high speed camera so bad.

    The one they used for that video is around $30k though.

    And it's mid/entry level gear.

    Just use Twixtor like everyone else without $30k does

    I played ... mordheim I think it was, once, with half-painted old 40k minis with a friend. It was fairly cool and then he moved away and that was about it.

    But everyone I know is adamantly opposed and with good reason so yeah.

    Also I have plenty of board game bits I could paint up but never do. Clearly I need to join some kind of neckbeard mini painting club or somesuch to knuckle down and ever actually not be lazy.

    Actually getting myself to sit down and paint my minis is incredibly difficult

    It always feels so rewarding once I get going, though

    I actually just bought some armature wire and greenstuff so I can try my hand at sculpting custom dudes for RPGs

    Getting excited to get back into it but I need a little kick in the pants

    why is the idea of painting minis so alluring but then actually busting everything out and doing it so easy to avoid

    It is odd when indie games are like 30 dollah

    C'mon now, you need to establish trust and brand recognition with the consumer base before placing a such a hefty premium on titles! Or cut back your dev costs or something

    orks, in the way they are done in Warhammer, are like the only thing in their entire setting(s) they didn't directly steal.

    So, the US Girl With the Dragon Tattoo does a good job of compressing the story to stop it getting stale and makes Lisbeth sort of relevant to events. A marked improvement on the book. I may watch the others. If they exist. I'm not sure.

    So this recruiter I spoke to about 8 years ago, just sent an email to inform me that they have a business relation with my company and it was fucked up of me to go behind. We had a contract blah blah blah. They're going to contact HR for their fee. "please sign and return this form"

    Haha. Fuck you, recruiter filth.

    I gather he changed jobs eight years ago and gave his details to some recruiters at the time (as one does). They failed him though and he found a job by himself, using bootstraps. The recruiter still wants to get paid for doing nothing.

    Sorry. I spoke to a headhunter in 2005. They didn't do shit for me. I got a job with my company in 2008. They stalked me on LinkedIn and apparently do some business with my company. Now they're trying to get paid for "placing me" at my current job
