There was a thread on B&C celebrating the fact that in a 40K school club out of 20 members 17 were female. After I had posted two surveys indicating that women strongly dislike the male hobby of collecting figurines the thread got swiftly closed down. LOL!
Necromunda The Sump: General hobby venting thread (Beware: old men shouting at clouds)

Not exactly sure what you're sumping about there. It reads like you're annoyed a club has female members because they statistically shouldn't, which is an unusual stance 
Out here about a quarter of the gamers/painters are girls or er... at least not straight men
so the painting/gaming part is not exactly gender-bound. I refer to older discussions about body odor as to why women would be underrepresented in wargames...
17/20 jumps out a little but it's quite possible
maybe the 3 guys used deodorant?

Oops! Wrong thread. This should have gone into the What´s on your mind? thread. Anyway, I found it hilarious that people were trying so hard to disagree with the surveys. The sentiment was that they were artificially fixed as everybody knows women prefer a geek painting his figurines religiously over years in his attic than beach boy Chaddington McHunk showing of his oiled abs at the dancing club.
I was looking for info on bolt gun 2 the video game because I heard you play a sister of battle when I found this (ED: ragebait video removed from post above). They try to sneakly push the female custode again. This time in a novel.
I m so tired of this rewriting no one asked or wished for.
After the wraith bone that is not the product of a song but manufactured that is pushing to much.
Ok they want to get rid of the veterans who saved their asses countless times when they were fragile but goodness do they realize that their is more people drinking (insert soda) than the light on sugar one?
f**k of GW.
Sorry for the double post. For some reason I couldn't write under the video.

I've been out of the loop of modern Necromunda lore for a few years now... however, what the actual chuff is the ruler of the goddamn planet doing as someone you can have in your gang?
Does he get really bored on a Tuesday afternoon or something? Slips his decaying aeons-old ass* into his golden onesie and rocks off down to the Underhive to join a bunch of gutter trash in a turf war, ignoring that he controls all of the turf, and everything and everyone on it. And presumably taking some serious risk to do so, since these days heavy anti-tank and exotic power weapons are available everywhere, not to mention the fighters who could gleefully pull the arms off a Terminator if it looked at them funny.
Does he have nothing better to do?
Isn't it odd that in a universe of space wizards and warp travel, that's what stretches my suspension of disbelief
*"His origins are largely a mystery, though it is known that he hails from a time before the Imperium"

Is this an actual thing? I'm really happy I trusted my instincts and didn't buy in to the new thing...
@Stoof there's also one of the possible heirs of Helmawr running around in the underhive in a ballgown with fabulous hair. She has servo skull attendants to manage the hems of her dress, and a pair of fancy laspistols. We won't talk about the cat butt....
I'm not so bothered by heirs going down hive. 1) there are likely loads of the buggers 2) they probably don't have all that much to actually do 3) nice bit of a rebellion, pop down hive to break some of Daddy's toys.
But the actual ruler of the planet, once they've ascended/been confirmed? I know that there was a period of Warhammer where Dante was in every little Blood Angels skirmish and Gulliman would join any patrol he could get himself on, but at least they were doing their actual job - fighting the enemies of mankind.
You'd think Mary Jane Rottenchops here would have bigger concerns... like not getting a massive important manufacturing planet noticed as a hotbed flagrant and widespread heretical nonsense... or at very least not putting himself in extreme danger of being wiped out by a juve with a stub gun and blind luck.
Guys guys I mean the only ruler of Necromunda is me according to me myself and I.
I thought the mechanicus, the navy and so on have some sort of embassy on Necromunda due to the importance of the planet.

Gangs? I though we’d established back in 2018 that despite the categorisation these are actually imperial militia warbands.
I still don’t know why the top players would get involved with this lower level stuff but then again I’m not sure why Marneus Calgar kept turning up to small skirmishes over half a dozen trees, a shabby ruin and a collection of barrels and mesh fencing…
World War Z the book not the movie and zombie survival guide by Max Brooks is excellent in describing that.
Presumably trying to work out what Abaddon was doing there....
(Answer: he was wondering the same thing himself.)

Burnt Umber Acrylic paint.
What the hell is going on there?
I can’t seem to find stockists for it recently.
I’ve been using one I picked up about 12-15 years ago but it recently turned to rubbery gel and became unusable. No worries, I’ll just pick up another tube from the local arts supply place.
My usual go to for cheap student grade artist acrylics is the discount shop here in the UK called “The Works”. However for some reason they’ve stopped stocking it (and sienna too) in their stores and the only stuff they do have is “online only”. WTF?!?
Tried two branches. No luck.
So today I went to the massive store called “The Range” which has a huge art section full of Windsor & Newton brushes, paints and mediums as well as Daler Rowney and a few others. Lovely…
…except… all its art stuff has mostly disappeared!!
Again WTF!! All the W&N has gone, paint ranges stripped right back to almost nothing and it’s mostly just crafting stuff left. 
However… I did find one bottle - ONE - the one in the entire store - of Daler’s Burnt Umber Acrylic in there. It’s reasonably big so hoping it will last. Especially as I usually cut it with PVA and water for basing work.
Anyone else seen this phenomenon? Is there a materials shortage of Burnt Umber now? Can they not burn it anymore under Net Zero? Why is it so hard to find what used to be a pretty commonly found brown artists paint!!!
Of course this would be the go-to colour I’ve been using for my jungle basing to tint the herbs and on a few other basing projects too as it’s a lovely warm brown. Plus as you [could] get big tubes of it cheaply I thought it would be ideal for my scenery bases too.
Hopefully whatever this issues is resolves itself by the time my current bottle runs out.
