I have zero knowledge about this game, but this was an enjoyable read

I've just jumped from Reddit. It's great that this story is posted here now. It needs to be repeated once a year for those new or who haven't heard it yet. Great story!

It was on 4chan /tg/ much earlier. God, I was young then.

i will always read this when and wherever it is posted. Fantastic story every time im reminded of it.

I remember when this happened. It was a at my local game store sci fi city. It was the talk of store for about a week.

I’ve just jumped from Reddit.

What happened now?

Nothing dramatic, but I was wanting to engage in communities after just being a lurker but found engagement difficult, read about Lemmy when Boost for Reddit died, noticed Boost was back in playstore, so here I am.

We have

Thanks, I will check those out. I found some mini painting communities to be equal parts inspired and intimidated by too!

Credit to the Imgur user at the bottom of the image. I just screenshotted it.

Haha I used to reserve rush an IG army occasionally and this was definitely something that could happen. Either this pic/post is old or they never changed those rules because I haven't played in 10-12 years.

Why you always, and I mean ALWAYS, include some sort of non-edge entry unit. Drop pod(s), Valkeries, some kind of hover bike, etc.

Im just getting into the hobby and i think currently each player gets a zone to deploy in and cannot have more than half their armies' point value held in reserve. I dont believe either player can deploy in the other player's zone either. This scenario is probably the reason why these changes exist lol

This is old. Like 2001 old. I think this was 3rd edition Tau vs white scars.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ahh that makes sense. Looks like 'Wheels' is playing White Claws (think that's name) which had special deployment rules back in the day. Like they could come in off the short, ie non-deployment edge, section of the table.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

White Scars are Space Marines, White Claw is alcohol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

White Claw Space Marines would be intimidating though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

They got their White Scars from drinking too many White Claws

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

lol Right right! Good nickname for them now :p

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Half the player's points and they can't come in the first round unless GW likes your faction the most.

I love the tape measures on the table.
