I was in a group that were all "officers of the watch". Some idea was proposed that my character would have no reason to go along with, but rather than stop the group engaging in something fun, I say so, and follow up with "my character probably has some paperwork they need to catch up on anyway."

Our chaotic player, who has the attention span of a slightly concussed goldfish goes "wait, we have to do paperwork?" and our GM, the goddamned sadist, gets that evil gleam in his eye.

Long story short, that session we role-played the sheer amount of paperwork our last session of kicking in the door and stopping a cultist ritual (by force in some cases) would have generated.

I admire that GM, but I was almost screaming in frustration by the end.

If only there was some kind of legislation that protected an open and fair internet...

Literally only a few years ago we had a national argument about sexuality. Shouldn't we at least have some national demographics to back up this kind of discourse? An understanding of who modern Australia really is?

I once told a coworker when discussing a creative process, "that works for you, but I think in bullet points and black & white."

That's got to be a two-three man job.

I think Jordies wording of "police terror units to prosecute and intimidate me was deeply unsettling" was very smart. When anti-terror units are used in the way they were against him and his editor, they themselves become the source of the terror.

I was a terrible salesperson for this reason. "Here's a machine in your stated price range. It will die in 18 months. And it sucks."

For Hobby History, I recommend Arbitor Ian. He's an old grognard like me who has been collecting for decades, and explains some of the interesting changes and old lore of the setting (stuff from as far back as when Space Marines all had "born to kill" type graffiti all over their armour). He also does a "Tale of four gamers" type thing with some other hobbyists, and it feels a bit like those old White Dwarf articles come to life. Lots of nostalgia, but also new lore too.

I loved the "anyone can be special" message, even when rammed down our throat by having the slave stable boy force pull the broom to himself at the end of the movie.

I hated them undoing that and going "hahahaha, no, you're actually one of the two special families!!" in Rise of Skywalker.

Very important legal distinction here: we have laws about spying on our own citizens, so we let our allies do it for us, while we openly spy on our allies citizens, and then share that information back with each other. Totally different bro! /s

Love a beakie!

Turn 1 Waaaagh? That's a grudgin'.

My Sa'cea Tau were always supposed to be night fighters. Sa'cea is the closest thing to a "hive world" that the Tau Empire has, and in one paragraph in the third ed codex it mentioned that they were skilled night fighters. But the grey armour Sa'cea wear is very close to Tau flesh, and I wanted helmet less Tau to stand out, so I figured out what Tau, Kroot, and Vespid would look like with severe vitamin D deficiency (and this is back when Tau had cyan, cobalt-based blood) so my Fire Warriors are an unhealthy grey-green, the Kroot are a really dark green-brown, and my Vespid are a calcinated beige/white. It's explained that they spend too much time in the training grounds, and too little under mandated-use UV lamps. Also, bright orange and white markings aren't the best for night fighting, so the Cadre uses a deep red and grey instead. But the Ethereal attached didn't know this before deploying with them, so is covered in garish orange and has a healthy skin tone, which actually helps them blend visually with the army when it's on the board, but still stand out.

Selfishness is coded into us by evolution. It's genetic. Lots of people will agree with me on this.

What I get a lot of pushback on, is that selflessness is the same. It has evolutionary benefits for a familial group, and so gets selected for.

That's a very cool old-school Escher leader.

That under-armour is simply fantastic sculpting work. Well done.

Wait, they're getting rid of Scouts entirely? That seems weird. Perhaps they'll get a replacement in the new reveals, but if not, that's a big departure.

I quite enjoy the Baroque Cycle. I am yet to read Snowcrash.

Love the slouch hats! Where did you pick those up?

From my reading of the rules, the Entourage as a whole has the Leader ability, while only the Rogue Trader itself has the CHARACTER keyword. The Leader is used to combine Leaders and the bodyguard unit into one Attached unit. The CHARACTER keyword actually come into this, only for the Precision keyword as you described.

So in your example the Breachers and the Entourage (now sans Rogue Trader) are still one Attached unit (until all the Breachers or all the rest of the Entourage are destroyed).
