They'd rather under-produce and leave some money on the table than over-produce and lose money on stock that nobody wants and that they have to store / pay for disposal of.

Regarding no map on the second screenshot, I recall they said in one of the trailers or Directs that there'a an option to disable the HUD for a more immersive experience.

I'm not sure what you expected, inverted Iyanden is literally just Alaitoc 😅

Wrath + Ass. Bros is a good combo, can play Take and Hold very well.

Azrael's veeeery expensive right now; he was an auto-include in 10e but he's pretty hard to justify at 150pts - personally I've dropped him from my lists. I've also dropped my ICCs; even with Azrael they're far too fragile for T&H - I'd rather have another squad of DWKs.

DWKs sit on objectives and refuse to die. They also hit reasonably hard in melee, but mainly they're there to survive a lot more than your opponent thinks it will take to kill them.

My T&H game plan at the moment is:

• Something cheapish sits on home, e.g. 3x Aggressors, or Intercessors + Ancient to sticky.

• If I have Scouts, start Infiltrated onto my expansion. If not, second cheapish unit (e.g. Heavy Ints) goes to grab it.

• One unit of DWKs starts on the board with The Lion to give him lone op. DWK will advance to take Central Obj, Lion will either stick with them or uppy-downy to get in opponent's face, depending on how likely I think he is to survive that...

• Brick of 6x Black Knights + Ravenwing Command Squad + Sammael goes like a T1 missile for their expansion, or a problem piece like a Defiler. They usually don't survive much past T2, yet they've always made their points back despite this.

• Second unit of DWKs and a unit of 5x DWTs in deep strike, to secure opponent's expansion after RWBKs clear it, or shore up any areas (Central / own Expansion) that need reinforcing.

• Unit or 2 of Inceptors in Deep Strike for scoring secondaries / cheeky steal of opponent's home if viable

In about 50% of my matches I've held my opponent's home and/or their expansion for most of the game thanks to aggressive DWKs; they like a Terminator Captain for rerolling charges, especially out of deep strike. Whilst cover and not being visible is always nice, it is possible to Rapid Ingress them in the open in front of a Leman Russ, survive the tank's shooting with zero casualties, then destroy it in a single turn with their maces...

I can't believe you have 4 Land Raiders and they're all Crusaders...

Tau hate melee; for the same points you can have 3x Black Knights, who'll average 4 wounds shooting in Rapid Fire range (without overcharging) + another 3 in melee with the charge, plus they're faster, total of 9 T6 wounds vs 6 T4, and they have a 5++.

My last match against Tau I had a brick of 6x RWBK + RWCS + Sammael which smashed their expansion T1 and even ~1800pts of Tau shooting couldn't wipe the unit. They'll live even longer if you don't Leroy Jenkins them... 😅

Fun fact: Tau also really hate DWKs. And The Lion.

I can respect that it takes more skill; but I also think it looks bad to okay at best (like very top 1%) in photos, and awful IRL. It's just not a good technique for painting in 3 dimensions, and it's really disappointing to me that painting competitions rate it so highly when minis that don't use it look downright better / more realistic. In my opinion, a miniature-painting competition should be about how good a mini actually looks, not some abstract measurement of how difficult someone made the task of painting it for themself.

"Man who was wrong about how popular game he was designing would be is also wrong about why game he designed wasn't as popular as he'd thought it would be"

That's a lot of points to sit doing nothing for most of the game...

"Don't sort it; see it, say it, sort it!" - Yes, much better, definitely not confusing at all!

...But the sign is perfectly worded? It says "damage due to bus strikes", i.e. strikes by buses. I don't see where this apparent confusion is coming from..?

Goku should be in goal; Ultra Instinct is the ultimate goalkeeping technique, nothing's getting past that.

But it's not due to the damage it causes to buses - it's not a Whomping Willow after all - it's just a tree, standing (presumably) not in the middle of the road, minding its own business. If the buses are driving properly it shouldn't be causing them any damage at all.

No, this sign is saying the tree needs removed because of damage that one or more buses caused to the tree itself, presumably by crashing into it. A bus is big and heavy enough to damage a tree of this size; we can infer from the sign that this must have damaged the health of the tree, to a point where there is now a risk to the public of branches falling, or potentially even the tree itself coming down eventually - so it needs removed in a controlled manner before such an incident occurs.

It really bothers me when the word uses an American spelling; of course I'm not going to guess "color" when it's spelled "colour", therefore a 6-letter word and not a valid guess!

Pretty sure the Three Kings of Orient (Are) would have something to say about that.

No, it's an acronym for "Master of Ceremonies", so it's spelled "M.C."

Yep, silicone dimple palette is the way to go; cleanup is just a matter of popping the dimple and peeling the dried paint off, and the shape pools all the paint together so it doesn't dry out quickly whilst you're working. Plus, it never goes mouldy!

Looking forward to: Ocarina of Time

You need a "one in, one out" policy to stop it getting bigger; to shrink it you need a "one in, two out" policy.

Yup, it's very easy to do.

Ate the Metroid-Metroid fruit (Mythical Zoan), destroyed Egghead Island in the process of shutting down Vegapunk's Mochtroid cloning operation.

Tell that to Team Rocket...

The Lion is named for Calibanite Lions, fearsome (possibly warp-mutated) beasts that plagued Caliban until The Lion rose to power and exterminated them. Also, shortly afterwards Caliban exploded, so they're doubly-extinct.
