Just checked and boy is she ever. Currently she's heavily specialized into making sure sorcerers and daemons are gonna have a bad time, but prior to 8th she had stronger casting stats overall, and a special power called "aura of oppression" that had two different-strength versions; a single non-vehicle unit one, and an area attack version, both of which force pinning tests and even if they pass the aura still prevented the affected unit(s) from being able to use a variety of movement abilities or firing overwatch.
I just wanted to add some emphasis to that last bit. Like, she was able to basically 'turn off' an enemy gunline to open them up to charges using the 12" area version of Aura of Oppression.
I want an Ork action RPG where you start off as a lowly Ork boy and end as a Warboss leading his own WAAAGH! You can customize your boy with skill trees that go into the various Ork combat disciplines(?) Along the way, you recruit more boyz to the cause and fight your rivals in a Shadow of Mordor style Nemesis system.
My initial idea was that your Ork gets bopped on the head and sees a vision of Gork and Mork proclaiming him their prophet or something, which turns out is basically the story behind Ghazgkull, so maybe make the game about him.
They're the weirdest, but they have the most personality. They are kind of silly but terrifying. And they have that kind of ancient Imperial "what the fuck?!?!?" weaponry that I adore.
How's the Vindicate now a days? Given the lethality of 8th, I'm curious how they flavored the rifle.

Vindicare assassins are… well they pay a bunch for the standard assassin close combat profile which they will only use if you make a mistake and then they just aren’t very good at assassination with their guns.
I mean, OK, combining the effects of their special ammunition is a good idea, as is having them straight up ignore cover save bonuses, but one shot per turn with a 1/6 chance of doing D6 wounds doesn’t even kill an IG officer in one shot these days. They don’t even have the now-standard bonus mortal wound that every other sniper gets. Oh and you have to go out of your way to get one rather than it being in a proper army list anywhere yet.

also they're the most expensive too!
essentially you either take 3 of them so you can actually kill something, or don't touch them at all
Shame about Vindicare, how about the other types, how are they faring in 8th?

culexus is by far the best, both because the aura absolutely dumpsters psykers and lets them snipe them, but also because the culexus is 6+ to hit for everything (melee and shooting)
the eversor is pretty good and will also see some competitive play because he will almost always earn his points back either shredding through troops or squishy characters, and he also has a chance to explode in a shower of goo that drops mortal wounds everywhere
callidus is just... fine? they have some weird first turn rules that maybe makes your opponent fizzle their CP and they are almost guaranteed a charge, things also don't get invuln saves against them
the problem is they just don't really excel at doing anything?
death cult is just a unit you take, they aren't part of officio assinorum

basically other than the defensive buffs a vindicare doesn't do anything the equivalent amount of points in skitarii ranger arquebus squads won't do much better.
the important things is that they all got new models a bit back, and don't look like hot dogshit anymore
I got Execution Force as part of a deal when I got back into 40k via Warhammer Quest Silver Tower.
Part of me likes it but they are busy looking models so I feel if they come to kill team I would use the old ones I have since they are painted

Heh, I know DCA aren't 'official' assassins, but I figured I might as well ask while we were on the topic.
They have a complex and multifaceted relationship.

I mean, I guess there's nothing saying the Craftworld Eldar don't have
normal-sized, more natural looking wraith harnesses. Everything we've been shown, from wraithguard on up to wraithknights are for battle, but who's to say there isn't something more like Ghost in the Shell's full-body prosthetics for non-military uses?
There is a very impressive Donald Trump God Emperor of Mankind paper mache statue. I know some peeps don't like pics so here's the link for anyone interested.
Games workshop really has some problems with cultivating awful fans
Like, i guess they seem to be trying recently to slowly turn that ship, but they still have a fanbase that does shit like thst and it grosses me out
I mean there is a press release about it and it's apparently satire making fun of Trump's oversized ego and feeling of self importance. Can't find the link on my phone though.
The statue is Italian satire. It's a carnival float. Whether or not it succeeds at satirising him or is deifying Trump... YMMV. Conservative commentators seem to take it as a positive thing, though perhaps they missed the Putin on Trump's shoulderpad.

"Actually if you read these 3 novels and this wikipedia article you'll see that depicting him as a huge golden warrior god is a bad thing"
'"God does not exist," says man in universe in which four separate groups of gods exist'.
And denial of an unpleasant reality in favor of what you want reality to be is a very Trumpian thing.
Hell, even Ciaphas Cain knows the gist of them.
That would have solved most of the issues.
The best ones.
