Hammer of Math: Calculating Expected Values. Games Industry News Roundup- January 21st, Content We Liked: 19th January, This does not matter very much to you, but it does explain why I was unable to attend Adepticon in March. For the duration of that convention, I felt like I was locked out of an absolute rager, bass thumping through the walls as I impotently rattled a locked doorknob to get in. Between 12 hours of classes per week, an equivalent amount of homework, a boatload of work for Goonhammer, my various commission projects, and maintaining a healthy relationship with my spouse, I had to become my own project manager.
My days became a regimented series of designated time blocks, with rare opportunity to carve out hobby time. Fortunately, a competitive 40k league in my local community in March. I went 3 and 2 in this 5-game league, earning the slightly-coveted second place spot on the podium and securing silver.
Yes, it was on a technicality as the league organizer won gold and as a result everyone basically moved up a place, but a silver-plated W is still a silver-plated W. More importantly, it gave me the excuse and social pressure to actually see my friends again, remind myself that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and show me there is life outside the interfaces of Figma and Zoom.

I see no reason to do otherwise. The league helped me dial in my list, showing the strengths and weaknesses of my army β one I would change little about going into Pendleton. Pendleton Black Templars Pendleton Points. My third main melee threat is 5 Sword Brethren and a Castellan in an Impulsor, which have in some games done nothing and in others taken out Canis Rex in one charge. Keeping these vehicles topped off is a Techmarine with Witchseeker Bolts loaded into his Forge Bolter, which is one of the funniest combos in the game.
A Storm Speeder Thunderstrike usually deep strikes in to give me the opportunity to do the Brian Johnson voice and make a vehicle go away, with the aid of the Gladiator coming out of reserves and whiffing or instantly earning its keep.
