    The issue is that if we don't know if the Primarchs were designed with the intent to provide them human compassion, then we can't evaluate how far they've deviated from the intended result. A cat...
  2. Poll: The point isn't that Primarchs and humans don't...

    The point isn't that Primarchs and humans don't share common mental features, but that the peculiar origins of the Primarchs, as (objective) creatures, makes it impossible to compare those features...
  3. Poll: To OP : No. A Primarch's brain isn't a human...

    To OP : No. A Primarch's brain isn't a human brain, therefore it cannot have a specifically human disorder. Furthermore, a Primarch's brain is designed, as opposed to evolved. What would appear to us...

    Except Infernals make rulings, they aren't the game design team. They get to ask what was the intent of the rule, but then are often stuck interpreting the answer in manifested context which weren't...

    That is entirely false, and more so speaks of Warhammer2Warmachine translation teething pains than finding yourself in disbelief with a ruling. PP have admitted the Shield Wall rule doesn't work as...

    THIS.

    I mean, I love the IK&warmachine fluff, but in all honesty Warmachine is one step lower than IK was. Doug Seacat is a wonderful fluff writer for the amount of space he gets in each book,...

    Yeah, but it's a wargame, you know? I mean, far from me the intention to tell you how you should view your time with your toy soldiers : if you want to make this a game, fine, but to a lot of us,...

    It isn't clear whether or not it's an intentional rule design, and usually PP isn't to bad at admitting their mistake. They will FAQ things inside a ridiculous short time, and when interactions...

    Depends on the ability itself, in my opinion. If it's getting a boost to movement and DEF, like for the Winter Guard, then, 'fluffily' it's the training they've received from the UA, or it's...

    Well the main problem there is seeing this as an abuse, and not just your own ignorance. Which this is all this is :

    The formation rules are clear : it doesn't say anything about the abilities...

    Thank you for telling me what I was trying to tell you. :confused: ''Pseudo'' derives from 'false', 'lying' implying at least similarity. The similarity is the role they fulfill in the scale of the...

    No problem! And to be precise, Sorscha's officially black haired, Zerkova's blonde, so is Haley (apparently, according to her art, Epic Haley went to brunette when she learned to manipulate time),...

    So you can get 2 normal sized mini for the price of a pseudo-Titan? I don't get how this helps your argument.



    And apart from the Dragon (IMHO), none of them would hold much up to a Colossi,...

    She is awesomeness! Her play style is incredibly fun, she has good DEF that you can commit her closer to the fight (DEF > ARM in WM/H), her feat his just under Kreoss on the 'oh no, I'm sure you've...

    This irks me the most of all. There's even a mention of the First Legion in there, just because, ya know, by then, every one will have in their heads ''am I reading this about DA or BT. Euh, BT it...

    I've always pictured the average life of an Imperial citizen to resemble that of the Scrapyard in Gunnm. It just sucks, badly. You work you're whole life with no safety whatsoever in the most lawless...

    My take on it is that the feel of the setting implies a large helping of 'DOOOOOOOM', and for just about everyone. The galaxy, when we think about it, is so damn large, that the mouvance of the...

    Yes there is. Look up the definition of ''fact'' and ''truth'' in any non-deflationist epistemology book. And stating that you can understand the invalidity of a behaviour, or statement, or anything,...

    Actually, he is more right than wrong. There's even an adage that goes, ''understanding is forgiving'', or something along those lines. Basically, if you say you understand the rationale, than you...

    Yes. The Choir is the closest thing to an auto-include we have. Fluffwise, they are the menite equivalent of the Journeyman warcaster, and sometimes, the highest authority on the field (for exemple,...

    I see what you mean, but that's not really my frustration. If they are the main characters, then I wish they would be more developped in individual ways that make me relate to them. But they are...

    Gunbjorn is a former cygnaran soldier/artillery platform. The sluggers, as well as all the ''modern weapons'' Trollkins are, to my knowledge, beneficiaries of Leto's military support. Gunnbjorn...
