What do you feel like saying, right now?

Why is everybody tripping out? Trump is about 90% talk. It’s the 10% he isn’t talking about that we should be worried about. He can’t do any of this BS he’s threatening to do. Think first term. He didn’t do anything he wanted to do then, at least not the off the wall threats.

The things he did do have very long term damaging consequences, especially for women. The first term he didn't have the house/senate, but now he has both of them. He changed the face of the Supreme Court for what will be decades and can continue to do that too. He did a helluva lot of damage. And his "talking" isn't seen as just hot air by the allies he's threatening with military takeover.

WIFLSRN: Today, on my way home from work, I had to stop at Panera to pick up bread for dinner. While I was there waiting, I ignored my first Trump supporter of 2025 with such ease, it was practically an art form, like sidestepping a mall kiosk while pretending to be deeply engrossed in an imaginary text.

LOL! What happened, CG? How’d you know he was a Trump supporter?

Oh, it was painfully obvious, I mean, she was wearing a Trump shirt, like awkwardly tucked beneath a camouflage hunting jacket. The entire look screamed, “I just rolled out of a discount bin at the world’s most disgusting rural outfitter.” It was almost impressive, really, how much visual chaos one person could pack into a single outfit. I mean, honestly, ignoring her was like a moral obligation to preserve my sense of decency.

She tried to spark a conversation by mentioning how good their bread is, as if she’d just uncovered some profound secret. In my mind, I couldn’t help but think, “Well, duh… that’s why they sell bread? What’s next, a lecture on how water is wet?” Honestly, it was almost endearing in a painfully simplistic way. Almost.

I swear, Trump supporters look less like people and more like walking, talking cautionary tales for why some people shouldn’t be allowed near mirrors, or voting booths. They’re very dumb, filthy, and disgusting people who totally should be ignored. Ew!

Y’all I’m WEAK! LMAO! I hollered! You literally completely ignore her while she was trying to be friendly? You literally said nothing, CG?

Nope. Not ONE word. I was reading GreekChat while she tried to have a conversation with me. I acted as though she was invisible.

Friendly? A Trump supporter, friendly? Let’s be real, Phrozen. Trump supporters and friendliness don’t mix. Their whole persona is built on negativity and conflict, and I will not take any of them seriously when their worldview is basically a rejection of basic decency. Frankly, engaging with them feels like stooping to a level I have no interest in visiting. I mean, some of us do prefer to keep our standards intact.

He had people in his first term that actually respected the law and constitution and told him no. He now has made sure he only has yes men and women on his list to serve. That is the difference. We are in for a shit show for the next four years. People that voted for him, believed his lies, are f ed. Many are poorly educated and live paycheck to paycheck. They will suffer but will never blame him. It’s a cult.
I am getting my finances in order because I guarantee he will topple the economy. I am prepared but many are not. I hope those that voted for him get everything they have coming to them. Unfortunately, many that didn’t vote for this POS will suffer as well.

PERFECT! I couldn’t agree with you more. 💯💯💯

The Guard are due for their new rulebook for this edition of the game in a month or so, there are model and rule previews on the Warhammer Community website. I haven't been too aware of them, but it seems like there are some... interesting changes.

The rule changes would throw me off. It seems like it’d be a lot to keep up with but when it’s a hobby that people really enjoy, I’d think the rule changes would be just as interesting and enjoyable to learn as the hobby itself.

Xant, what do you mean when you say magnetize? So, the weapons are not attached to the figures themselves? You can pick the weapon? Well, that’s pretty cool. I like that.

Weathering a model. It came out perfect. I’m happy with it.

I don’t know if it was the same one you watched, but I saw “a” documentary about it.

Let’s just say that dress wasn’t ruined by anything on the menu that night.

Yeah, you’re right. I agree. That was more domestic tho. That’s the 10% we should be worried about. The other 90 is what he’s threatening to do internationally. He won’t be able to do any of that. This is the same kind of thing he was talking when he said he was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. It never happened.

True, but he’s still limited.

With the exception of Barack Obama, I’m convinced a president can do whatever he wants to. Trump is an example of that, and so is Clinton. Any dude outside of the presidency wouldn’t be able to get a blowjob on the job and keep his job.

The problem is people put too much weight on titles and accomplishments, leaving the most important parts out. That’s how we get clowns leading our country. When I was in undergrad, I was my fraternity’s historian. I got voted in every year. Our creed is “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.”

That’s one reason I pledged Kappa, because of that motto. I’m all about achieving, being successful, and not stopping there. But the key word brothers miss is “Every” which means that Achievement is not solely a measure of skill or success, but also a reflection of one’s character, values, and moral integrity, which collectively define the foundation upon which lasting accomplishments are built. That applies to any title, including the highest and most powerful position in the world — POTUS. When that last part is left out, which most of the time it is, you then get clowns leading the country.

It is a decent cognitive load, but once you learn up to a certain level it transfers pretty easily and quickly.

Using magnets is an easy way to preserve weapon options, as the connection points would be countersunk magnets instead of the usual plastic or super glue. Many people also put magnets under the bases of their models to use on a metal rack to secure the models for transport in a travel case.

Now, I’m getting some clarification. Thanks for clearing that up. If you’d generally play with one specific army, you’d have to not only keep up with those rules, but you’d have to keep up with the others, too. Do they have a ref or someone there that keeps people from cheating or trying to illegally get around the rules?

I had no idea it was that detailed and realistic all the way down to the actual weapons they’re holding. That’s gotta be super cool. About 20 years ago, I came very close to collecting the Imperial Guard. One of my classmates from school back then used Space Marines, which almost got me into it.

This is kind of an off the wall question. Probably one you’d think is a dumb question, but I’m sure they’re all the same scale. They look 1:35, to me. Could you add your own weapons from a totally different model, the same scale? For example, the Imperial Guard resembles a WWII German army, could you bring in models representing tanks or other weapons that aren’t Warhammer?

I don’t know what would happen to Obama, but I do know when he was elected that they were hoping he’d do something that black men are generally blamed for or accused of doing. If Obama was caught getting lip service in the Oval Office or it came out that he did in the same way Clinton did, every black man in America would be guilty, like we were all lined up outside waiting for our turn.

So organized events like tournaments will have volunteer judges/referees. I've been a referee a couple of times, and it was pretty rewarding. Usually any rules dispute can be solved by reading the rule aloud, and consulting any recent FAQs/erratas for clarification. Sometimes the wording is so vague that it could go in either player's favor, so a judge's role in that is just to make a decision so the game can continue. For a friendly game the staff of the store you are playing at would be usually able to make an impartial ruling, as long as they are knowledgeable about the game themselves.

Well, seeing as it's an epic dark sci-fi/fantasy, "realism" is kind of a strong word lol. But it's more for looks than anything. If a squad of 20 Guardsmen have 18 Lasguns (think more powerful blasters from Star Wars), one Plasma Gun and one Flamer, I would assume the models can be built to reflect that. When they aren't modeled accurately to what the army list says it is(or should be) is when arguments and shady tactics are used.

Yes, as long as the weapons or other bits are in the same or similar scale and look either reasonably like the original weapon (or distinct for what it should be), that's not an issue. While every model has an "official" paint scheme and way to build it, many people use resin 3D printers to customize their minis to fit a theme, or make the posing more dynamic etc.

Something like that being this conversion in the high fantasy version of Warhammer, Age of Sigmar

FACTS! minus the Krappa part Lol. I feel you, PB. Although I can’t say I got the last part completely down, you’re still 100% right.

LMAO @ “lip service”. I hollered when I read this earlier today. You nailed it! That’s exactly what this country wanted to see Obama do and exactly how every black dude would be looked at. Preach!

Clinton always said he never cheated on Hillary because he never loved or was in love with the women he slept with. But he’s in love with Hillary.

WIFLSRN: I’m reading that Michelle Obama didn’t show up to President Carter’s funeral because she didn’t want to sit next to Donald Trump.

I don’t blame her. I mean, some things are just too undignified, even for a funeral.
