"This is Dr. Daystrom. He's going to install his new computer on the Enterprise to replace the crew in a wargame session. It's based off his own mind"
"HIS COMPUTER IS TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!"
"Perfect. We'll name all future scientific institutes after him."

Also going to say that if all you wanna do is practice batch painting, go get one of Wargame Atlantic's kits that has like 25-30 guys in it for like $35 (or honestly - just look up historical 28 mini kits on ebay like firelock/warlord games): focus on "good enough", at least at first.
There is a "sense" in which painting translated into "better stats" but only in the sense that I was willing to batch paint like 150 firewarriors so I could do this

As much as I liked the games I played (to be described on my next podcast), I also liked the other opportunities at @sdhistcon.bsky.social . I went to the nearby Sunset Cliffs, saw the impressive Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, and listened to more seminar panels.

Apropros of nothing, there's an infamous historical WW2 wargame set in the African theater, which in the rules state that Italian troops require extra water rations so that they can boil their pasta.
This was misinformation, as troops simply boiled their pasta in the sauce.

The thing is, though, that once one gets past the box cover, this game is in fact well-regarded and highly-rated on BGG; as the designer says, though, it's more of a grand strategy game than a wargame per se (that's what "Ancients" is for, to game out the battles, though...

Truth and granted. But relative to my POV, WH40K doesn't have an entire 1-2 page multicolumn small font letter size rant about what wargames are and how you should play them (unsubtly positioning its type of wargame as The Platonic Wargame).

War has broken out in the Northern Empire and the usual suspects are to blame: the Seeling Seakings and the Wyvernprinces and Princesses.
