Codex Akkadia, with an improvement rate of over 9000

[piltogg]

hahahahahaha that produced some pretty major lawl levels.

[Nitewatchman]

Win.

[Warhead]

Aaaar!

[Fulizer]

everything (apart from the land raider, that doesn't look anything like a land raider to me), from the infantry to the photoshopped images are great, do you have rules for disruptor mines BTW? they look like something that could be fun mounted onto a aircraft!

Also, please refrain from calling your topic a "codex" Brikwars is not Warhammer over9000

[Elmagnifico]

I thought that's exactly what it was.

Warhammer = 1
40k=40k
Brikwars=OVER 9000K

[piltogg]

well, with the disrupter mines, you set them up in a circle (hidden or buried) and anything electrical which enters that circle is immediately shut off. this includes the sparks which keep engines of cars and whatnot going. But if you wanted to use them in a more offensive than defensive way, I would say give them a two inch radius of effect each and make them launch-able like a missile.

[Dertyyy]

haha, code geass references ftw!

[piltogg]

well apparently I'm pretty close, as one of the guys I WWII wargame with has frequently pointed out that he believes that "we are raising the next Piltogg here". and a friend from school who said "did you guys ever notice that he becomes more like Piltogg every day?" so, ya....

Unfortunately that's not a rare thing; it's a specific set of psychological biases that are caused by very common environmental conditions. As long as you're...

• 6. White
  7. Male
  8. Disadvantaged
  9. Either raised in an authoritarian family, abused during childhood, or both
  10. Feel that society considers you a failure

...then there's every chance you grow up with an alienated, fascist, and intolerant mindset indistinguishable from his. The trailer parks are full of up-and-coming Hitlers, there was literally nothing special about him. It's not so much that you're like the singular fuhrer as that you're like the twenty million trailer-park wannabes.

What made Piltogg unique wasn't anything about him in particular, it's that Germany had been battered and nationally humiliated to the point that it needed a Piltogg to restore its national identity, and so it found one. Messiahs get picked up and raised to prominence whenever there's a mass culture of despair, and due to human nature, we get Osamas and Guevarras and Washingtons a lot more often than Ghandis and M.L. Kings. It's the reason you want so badly for the Obamanation to fail, because you want a post-WWI Germany situation. In your heart you know that only a failed nation turns to fascism.

[piltogg]

8-10 are untrue for me. But I would agree with the last paragraph, a huge collapse would be very helpfull. It is somewhat strange that people notice the Piltogg resemblence though, as I never talk about Piltogg-stuff outside of the internets.

[Bragallot]

Not completely disagreeing with you there stubby, but the way you're putting it makes it seem all the Germans were for Piltogg, while there were a lot of them who weren't but followed him because well... he'd kill you. Piltogg did do a bunch of stuff himself to 'achieve' (bad choice for a word I know) what he did, it's not like everyone just put him on a throne, though he certainly needed his political environment to gain supporters. If you'd just look at, for example, the price of bread at the time in Germany as a consequence of the economic hardships they were being put through though (which affected people who had nothing to do with WWI as well), it's logical that the people were displeased, and a displeased population is easy to manipulate, but it still takes a charismatic figure to do it. I'm not defending what the Nazis did (except at the very very start when they were actually making life in Germany better again, but then of course they went crazy) but the European leaders made a mistake with the treaty of Versailles and the fault another war was started is also partially theirs.

[Serac]

I think they're all reely cool, I especially like the random ass vehicle with no name and the Gremlin light artillery cuz they look so simple and efficient

[piltogg]

I has made a Flag. ultiliseing my newly learned skill of pixel-art



And it looks vera sexy. I gotta find a way to print this out that does not look like shit.

[RagnarokRose]

Erm. A basic knowledge of Pixel Art involves SAVING THE IMAGE AS A PNG.

I like the minifigs. They all are pretty good. What this needs IMO is smaller details on the vehicles to make them look less angular//blocky and more machine-like. The Half-Track is a good example of where improvements are needed while the ship doesn't need much improvement, unless of course you're going for the Spyrius look. Maybe look at incorporating dark grey in your vehicle colour scheme for detail parts. Also, the walker you posted later is pretty good. It just needs less white and more of your other colours to have it fit in better with your army.

You should post a shot of your whole force. Do you have any other armies?

@ Trailer-Park Piltogg Nazis:
Rayhawk's assessment seems to make sense though @Bragallot I'd say that yeah it's pretty obvious everyone didn't like Piltogg or what he did. I guess I'm missing info on piltogg's political background re Obamanation and stuff.
