Lover of Women and Fish

My name's Ryuuka! not the real legal one im not japanese but thats what ive been using online at least, internet safety 101 etc.

I'm a weird, tired, trans girl and have a habit of making a fool of myself on the internet, mostly here but also often on twitch.

I made this blog with the initial intent to talk about My Hobbying (3dprinting, warhammering, gunpla building), buuutt I lost the other places I used to use for stream-of-consciousness babbling, so that migrated here too and now this is just a place for babbling Nonsense.

All the places i can be found and have accounts are in the linktree in my bio but like nobody likes to click those things so imma list a couple here;

in a move that anyone except me couldve seen coming, Ive pivoted from roleplaying a catgirl online/onstream and nosedived off the deep end and become WhaleGirl! my tags on this blog are well-used though and i like calling myself a kitties catte so they'll remain unchanged :)

I couldn't find if I'd posted a screenshot of it anywhere before, but one of the thing i like about oldhammer is the size of the game - the core rulebook for 40k 5th recommends 500-1000pts for a casual evening game

as far as I'm aware for modern / 11th the absolute minimum is 1k, but the standard size for tourneys (so 3h games) is 2000

so already double the old average

and I remembered today that the munitorium manual had been released so I went to take a peek at that

at least comparing to the numbers I remember for (completely unupgraded) tyranid units from 5th, it's an average 30% cost reduction across the board

not counting that wargear easily increases the cost by at least half per model

so GW is pushing people to buy ~250% models now than they used to just to play, and those just happen to also be the highest average priced wargame plastic on the market

got absolutely tabled by them in our first game
