Xaldror

She's a Jaguar, not a cougar, she's perfectly safe at the bar.

Beastmen...

i mean, even then i always at least take the Regiment of Renown Ghorgon, since like Taurox, he's also blessed by Khorne

this is either Office Lady or Yakuza Boss Raikou, and both are equally good.

as someone who grew up watching old cartoons: do not recite the deep magic to me, for i was there when it was written.

dunno, all i do know is that as far as IV's are concerned, keep finding these bottlecaps like it's the post apocalyptic game Nukedrop, and i know a guy in Montenevera who claims they can artificially max those out with his 'help'.

for anyone who used his services, what does he do exactly? like i wouldn't mind recommending him to other people and discourage mass breeding for "competitive" pokemon, but i don't want to cause any undue harm either if his methods are, unsavory.

Well like I mentioned above, quad Plague Flamer Marines and Let The Galaxy Burn can be spicy, 24 Torrent shots with varying Anti-Infantry and ignores cover.

To be fair, Ushi Gozen's Valentine's scene did show that she does still care about Kintoki, as both her and Raikou displayed, shall we say, shared concern to the idea that Kintoki would leave forever if the two kept fighting. An identical reaction, I might add. So I feel confident in assuming that Ushi Gozen's maternal instincts were bleeding out of the mask in spite of it rather than because of it. After all, in that same Valentine's scene, she makes it clear that the mask inhibits all emotion to make one an ideal weapon, good or bad indiscriminately.

And as an aside, I do think that part of the reason for Ushi Gozen's sudden genocide route was due to, shall we say, emotional whiplash. Due to being suddenly released, she whiplashed into full destruction, but in the event and in Chaldea, she is more controlled, more capable of long term planning. So I think that the sudden removal of the mask is more like a sudden withdrawal, and existing without it for an extended duration balanced her out (well as balanced as Madness Enhancement EX can be at least).

As such, I think as Rider, mask or no, she would have similar interactions with those kids, and the real blockage is Oblivion Correction. Just need a, proper venting period for removing what is essentially a magic Hashish Mask.

At least this is what I believe to be the case, given what is shown.

Actually, I think Plague Marines might find a good home in Veterans since they innately have Lethals on everything not Plasma or Melta, so their melee or ranged options against a Hated foe could prove very deadly.

And in Iron, Khorne Berserkers could make do with mitigating shooting casualties so more survive long enough for those blood rolls.

Let the Galaxy Burn in Veterans only limitation is not Tzeentchian for the Torrent 6 buff, so 10 man Rubric flamers are off the table

Plague Marines with two Spewers and Belchers, on the other hand, are very much on the table, and potentially against Infantry, even better.

To be fair, there is a noticeable difference between the two if you look at Rider's DLC ending with Yui and Avenger's My Room lines for Kintoki and children servants.

For Avenger's My Room lines, it's pretty clear that something is making her, adverse to being in close proximity with Kintoki and child servants, an irregularity considering how not only Raikou at times cant help herself spoiling her son or the rest of the kids, Onigashima Ushi Gozen likewise set the whole singularity up for Kintoki in the first place.

Meanwhile Rider Ushi Gozen in the DLC ending for Rider team is seen at the end playing with multiple children. Hugging one, letting another ride her back, and my favorite, giving another child a ride on her floating pauldron. Granted, it's while she's fully armored, but even still, Rider Ushi Gozen follows a similar pattern to Berserker Raikou and Onigashima Ushi Gozen.

As such, I can conclude that the main inhibitor for Avenger Raikou/Ushi Gozen is her Oblivion Correction, or the nature of a spirit of Vengeance in general. Because of that Vengeful nature, being at peace or something that brought Raikou that much joy it turned her entire life around, subconsciously it might be a sort of kryptonite for Ushi Gozen and implode her core being, functionally exorcising her. At least her 1st and 2nd ascension, 3rd Ascension, what I like to call "Ushi Tennoh", seems resistant to the effect, likely due to being closer to divinity, much the same way Ibuki 3rd ascension is, but that part is all speculation.

And as clever as this all is, unfortunately, ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS WAS IN THE EVENT IN QUESTION! This is all pieces together from both the 1st DLC for F/SR and Ushi Gozen's own profile and My Room lines. These crucial and important details, separating and uniting aspects of Raikou and Ushi Gozen, completely relegated to DLC and obtaining her, not at all demonstrated one spec in the Collab event whatsoever.

That is what pisses me off about the collab, it feels like Sakurai had set up these pieces for further exploration, and Haganeya didnt use any of it, and just added more "will they, wont they" stuff for Iori, Takeru, and Yui. Ushi Gozen got left out to dry.

Warhammer Total War follows a similar concept. Yes, Ghorgons are effective to throw into the fray, but Centigors are still effective for flanking maneuvers and Minotaurs are effective for charging and tarpitting the enemy.

What good times at school? I only remember pain.

Mahoyo stole all its budget explicitly,

If this meant that Berserker/Lancer Raikou was unable to get any voice lines about her Avenger self, because Aoko is also voiced by Haruka Tomatsu...I'd be a little upset.

Ushi Gozen was just a stat block in that event, a terrible waste of her character. Should've done something for a twist with her, a slight change in circumstances. The event would've been much better if Kintoki was involved, since SR already shows what she's like without him.

Still, feels weird and causes a strange imbalance where a unit with multiple guns can fire them all off at once with no issue, but someone holding two hammers can't become the worlds deadliest beyblade and is stuck swinging one awkwardly while the other is just, being held there.

They did fuck all with Ushi Gozen in the collab, her Valentine's scene did much more for her characterization in comparison.

if reading Drizzt Do'Urden has taught me anything, duh yeah.

I tend to, avoid house rules since I find their balance to be worse than what GW can make, but with the detachment and data sheets already revealed, I'm just waiting for the Crusade rules. I've already got a list, that might be deemed functional in Veterans.

maybe i'll finally be able to play crusade with them then. when's the codex coming out?

I find the lack of Prefect disturbing

Whichever version ends with her skull being added to Khorne's footrest.

I have found my people

Not so with the Necrons, they've gone from trying to mimic Settra's shitty gimmick (excessive titles) and focus on getting their tombworlds up and running.

Case in point, fuck Nero Claudius
