Oh, you're a fan of the Necrons?
If I had the money and time, I would've built 3rd Edition Daemonhunters.

Sadly, Daemonhunters don't technically exist anymore. They're Grey Knights now, though I think some of their units got rolled into Sisters of Battle and maybe Black Templar? Though they got rolled into the SM Codex now too, Games Workshop is fucky sometimes. But yeah Grey Knights are pretty cool, they have the Dreadknight now. ![[image loading]](http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1710176a_99120107003_DreadKnight01_873x627.jpg) | ||

But they're still basically space paladins with robots and holy shit, but they're a bit Gary Stu-y and rather OP in the current iteration. It's cool, though, as long as you don't play gay and spam Terminators in every slot they're a neat army. | ||

In S2E2 of VGHS Key sees a few RTS players. They're all wearing suits. Are RTS players really suits? I thought of them more as engineers, scientists, and mathematicians. Hard fields rather than something interpretive like business. Like I guess we can be pretty hardcore in our analysis. Maybe I'm defeating my argument here by using so much analysis. I don't think there are any types of gamers that can be thought of as suit wearers. Maybe business is pretty hard too. But there's often multiple correct answers as long as you can back yourself up. | ||

Anyone read The Shape of the Nightmare to Come/The Age of Dusk (and the related works)? One of my favorite 40K continuation fanfics. Waiting for my next fix. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Minor beginning of game stuff] + Of course, on one hand, the story starts rather typically: THE YOUNG GIRL CONTAINS THE CURE. That's nearly video games 101 and I did expect a bit more from the hype. On the other hand, the very first scene with Joel's daughter is like HOLY SHIT T_T. What a great set piece to begin with. On a far more personal note, the fact that this game starts in a ruined Boston is very emotional for me. Recognizing ruined landmarks is pretty affecting, particularly after the Marathon. This, weirdly enough, makes the game better, but only because I know how difficult it is to make something so recognizable it evokes familiarity and even homesickness. | ||

Waiting for my next fix. Are those fanfics or Black Library novels? I haven't had time to buy the 40k books, but I hear they're quite good depending on which author worked on them. I just love the 40k lore. I bought Nemesor Zahndrekh and Vargard Obyron almost purely because they're really cool lore characters in the Necron Codex.

Super early on. Also, have I mentioned that I <3 your new sig? EGGS | ||
