Oh, I meant in physical tabletop. Or floortop, since this would be a game mode that uses the really big units.
In that case, I have no idea, but considering the level of creativity I've seen from the 40k players I've interacted with in GBNO and elsewhere, I wouldn't be too surprised to find that the answer is yes.

So did something happen to the discord you two were using? Most of the images got nuked.
Discord decided they didn't want to be used as an image hosting service anymore, and made it so that images shared on Discord expire after a few days, AFAIK. So most of the images have probably gone poof because of that change.

It happened to ALL of discord. Images hosted there are having their link address change randomly, making old links broken. I have switched everything to imagechest, but until Bob (Hastar) has enough energy to go through the fic updating the links...

Yeah, it fucking sucks. I have a whole private server that served as just an easily searchbarable archive of pics. Thankfully, my backup in drive is still there and it isn't like the images themselves are gone in Discord- it's just that sharing them outside of discord causes it to go poof after a few days.

Oh, I can answer that!
A friend (@Italiancasanova, if anyone's curious) recommanded me this channel after seeing that @Ervoan-san was in it. BTW, hope to see your new gunpla soon! The one you're using now's not too bad, but I really hope the Likorn Kourser will make a return.

FINALLY! A japanese person that's not screaming at me that I'm a faking faker that fakes!

And, of course, jury-rigging extra connectors onto the top of the Sky Talon so I can also stack on the Valkyrie is theoretically doable, I assume?
It should be yes. If you can build it, then it should work. It might look a bit silly, but it'll work.

If someone can make a GaoGaiGar work, you can make that work too.

This feels a bit like I'm pushing into territory that the game's designers never intended, but the look on someone else's face when I rock up with close air support will probably be worth it.
Frankly, 70% of what players did in the old Gunpla Battle system was clearly never intended to work that way. Just look at the Star Build Strike Gundam. It could absorb Plavsky Particles from beam attacks to turn them into a power boost.

And as far as I can tell, this certainly hasn't changed.

Also I did not know that 30MM had parts drop in game.. Gotta go check if those new ACVI kits are compatible now...
I don't think those kits came out ATM. And I'm not surprised you didn't know about the 30MM parts, bandai releases... something like 3? Missions where you can grab some when they do a big release of them, one for each faction more or less.

Its usually a really simple mission that you can farm again and again and again to get as many 'sacrificial' 30MM parts as you need. Main reason to play them that I found is the weapon parts.

Castaferrum Dreadnought - 6 meters.
Contemptor Dreadnought - 8 meters.
Leviathan Dreadnought - 9 meters.
Armiger-pattern Knights (smallest) - 12 meters.
Questoris-pattern Knights (standard) - 15 meters.
Cerastus-pattern Knights (larger) - 18 to 20 meters.
Acastus-pattern Knights (largest, mini-titan) - 45 meters.
Warhound Titan - 90 meters.
Reaver Titan - 150 meters.
Warlord Titan - 250 meters.
see, those sizes would make sense for 40k, where everything is needlessly big and grandiose.

see, that there makes sense...
►ModernPygmalion (Galatea My Beloved)
Mobile Suits are more in the Knight range in 40k terms, I think. Outside of shit like the Big Zam.

Don't quote me on it, though, I just know that mini scaling in 40k is all sorts of jank.
That it is!

Not sure where you're getting that size figure from for Titans - because the Xamel is only as tall as a pair of Baneblades parked bumper to bumper, and AFAIK most Titans are canonically large enough they could flatten a Baneblade just by stepping on it.
As a 40k nerd, I will invoke the dread inscriptions.
The wiki!
NOW BEHOLD AS I SUMMON MY OWN SET OF DREAD SCRIPTURES!

No it doesn't cite any specific source for this info, only general ones:
and since that's all I can work with...
moral of the story: 40k has rightfully fucked scale. And will continue to have utterly fucked scale forever because that's just how the writers roll.

If you want a record for smallest Knight-Armor, though, we have one where a Custodes looked the pilot in the eye, because welcome to 40k, the authors talk to each other not at all.
LMAO, having seen the size of regular bannana men on tabletop, now I can only picture three of them stacked on top of each others so the guy at the top can glare at the knight.

Dread I could have bought, but this? Yeah, nah.

Discord was once cool. Now they are getting lamer by the day. As if their newer UI on mobile wasn't bad enough.

Update literally made me uninstall and just use Mozilla Browser to access it that way. It works... for the most part. Can't searchbar or check pins, but otherwise it's completely usable.

We were leaving this thread stay quiet until we had a chapter to upload rather than prop it up with a few IC posts after a week of silence, but since it got bumped anyways, may as well give a small status report:

Bob has left his job. He's currently busy between recovery from the absolute mess his workplace made of him and getting skullfucked by tree cum season. No clue when he will be fine enough to start working properly on this with me, but I'd say next chapter will be sometime in May and from there we'll resume our weekly update schedule.
