Okay, the Shadowswords and Stormswords are distinct enough. But can you tell which Leman Russ has which guns? 🤣<br/><br/>One of these days I need to find time to play this game.<br/><br/>I also need to decide on color schemes. But I may end up trying different colors for each detachment. <br/><br/>#WH40K #LegionImperialis #Epic #WarGames #Miniatures<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/113/640/778/950/019/699/original/b015c2edad7db31a.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-12T16:28:57Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszq0gtycn3jkvnuk6lcvmnwzv63nzp6qpc0eqqhtgxhuaz2yk7j5czyr3fac3u2d73vtusxfrh4alvjaq4n03nqkmt7e83438jpdptt3my730t6sj Been reading a collection of Xenophon’s shorter writings.<br/><br/>I’m rather amused by his list of suitable dog names. <br/><br/>Psychē — Soul<br/>Thumos — Spirit<br/>Porpax — Shield Handle<br/>Sturax — Spear Spike<br/>Lonchē — Lance<br/>Lochos — Ambush<br/>Hēba — Youth<br/>Gētheus — Delight<br/>Chara — Joy<br/>Leusōn — Looker<br/>Augō — Sunlight<br/>Polus — March<br/>Phroura — Lookout<br/>Phulax — Guard<br/>Taxis — Order<br/>Xiphon — Sword<br/>Phonax — Bloodlust<br/>Phlegōn — Fiery<br/><br/>1/2<br/><br/>#Xenophon #Greek #History #Philosophy #Dogs #AncientGreek #Classical #Reading 2024-12-07T20:33:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8t0nkne48s6cq23xjq8cwcah8ulft58924y2yk7xpza42rfez2aczyr3fac3u2d73vtusxfrh4alvjaq4n03nqkmt7e83438jpdptt3my7gym9ua Xenophon: The silver mine will never run out and never suffers from inflation, so why doesn’t the city invest more in mining?<br/><br/>Probably true for a few hundred years, but they did indeed deplete in the Roman era.<br/><br/>They reactivated after the industrial revolution with modern techniques, and then really dried up a century later. <br/><br/>And absolutely silver can have inflation, but not at the slow rate of ancient mining.<br/><br/>#Xenophon #WaysAndMeans #History #Philosophy #AncientEconomics 2024-11-25T15:16:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2r2xsk2spvx6cqrl49734x5atggg55zs7rlrp5a8cud877nkjkwszyr3fac3u2d73vtusxfrh4alvjaq4n03nqkmt7e83438jpdptt3my73c2sdk Found a book I’d partially read a while back, decided I should finish it and get it off my “currently reading” list. It’s a collection of Shorter Works by Xenophon. I believe once I finish it I’ll have read everything he’s written. <br/><br/>In the section on “Ways and Means” or “Public Revenues” depending on who is translating the title. <br/><br/>Of course I’m also working on Stonewielder and Dust of Dreams too.<br/><br/>#Reading #Philosophy #Xenophon #Malazan 2024-11-25T08:08:12Z
