Might make a decent "counts as" for Drachenfels. (You want old school, I'll give you old school!)

“Cattle Chattel” would also be acceptable.

I hereby dub the unit of peasants accompanying them as the “Yakety Saxons.”

Mostly just looking for clarification from you and feedback from the rest of the Ordo tribe. I lean towards “you can buy stuff and you can use what you buy,” because otherwise what’s the point in being able to buy stuff?

So the most recent Necromunda FAQ has this little tidbit for Palanite Enforcers. There seems to be a bit of controversy as to exactly what the line "Enforcers can use the Trading Post just like any other gang." actually means... Specifically, regarding whether Enforcers can actually equip the weapons they’re able to purchase from the Trading Post. Some are arguing that given the specific wording of the answer that “use the Trading Post” will add equipment to a gang’s Stash without reservation. But when equipment is distributed in Step 6D of gang set-up, any new toys in the Stash run up against the Enforcers’ “Palanite/Subjugator Only” weapon requirements. So you can buy a Heavy Bolter, you just can't actually give it to anyone. The counter-argument focuses on the inclusion of “and use weapons” in the question and the “Yes” that begins the answer, interpreting it to mean Enforcers are no longer bound by the weapon restrictions listed in their profiles and can arm themselves with anything purchased from the Trading Post. Then there's the last part of the answer, which basically boils down to "Game Masters can tweak these or even break these rules if they want to." but we all knew that already.

T9A has some weird jargon.

Unlike in WHFB, in T9A units have two point values; the value of taking the bare minimum models in the unit and a number of points per additional model. This isn't always equivalent. For example unit may be 100 points for 25 models but each additional model may cost 6 points each rather than 4. This is sometimes higher and sometimes lower.

Yaks are best pony. (Inside joke between my kids and I. My kids don’t read this forum. I don’t care.)

The Order/Chaos/Unaligned allegiance mechanic will also have a pretty substantial impact on how two otherwise “same” gangs will play. Not to mention things like members purchased, skill assignments, equipment used, territories gained and lost, injuries and deaths, et cetera. Two players can both start a campaign with identical 1,000 Credit Orlock lists and two or three games later both have very different looking gangs. (To whom my Enforcers will deliver summary executions honest civil service with a vengeance warm smile.)

Dat yak though...

I'm a long way off from adding the Big Honkin' Dragon and that Titan Forge one is awesome, but I'm currently leaning toward the Arcane Dragon from Warploque Miniatures:

Chag chanukah sameach, true belivers!

Are you cetacean about that?

I find the history of the flag of Hawaii fascinating. I also think the flag is a hideous riot of color, but the history is still an epic, A Game of Thrones style tale of political power plays, international intrigue, royal dynasties, and pineapple.

Meanwhile, in the Matrix... "I know Kung Moo."

Of course, Slovenia and Slovakia both only adopted these flags about 25 years ago (give or take). Before that they were both still part of Czechoslovakia and used that flag... Most of the Slavic nations all share the red, white, and blue colors and a similar design lineage. I don't object to so many of the state flags designs being similar just because they are similar, it's that they're similar and visually bland.

Graphic of the flags of all fifty states... Flags of 53 European states... The European flags are all much more visually distinctive, even at this small size... I mean, can you tell the difference between Nebraska and New Hampshire? Yep. I'm a nerd.

Not necessarily. Although if your gang only has six members and the mission allows for 6+ members...

As it happens, I fell down an internet rabbit hole on this subject. Found out that there was a bill introduced in the legislature in 2013 for a new state flag. I greatly prefer this design! Much more visually distinctive! Currently, twenty-one other states have a flag that consists of “blue field with thing on it,” nineteen of those are “blue field with state seal on it.” Only one state makes yellow a dominate color. This flag is also recognizable at a distance, no other state uses a bicolor design.
