Complex interlocking segments

A link set nonet loosely related to relationships...

First, Bujilli is back. If you don't know Bujilli, read this. You can join in this week's instalment here.

 

Second, this post at TalkToYoUniverse reports on a useful discussion of weapons and their development, in fictional worlds and our world at various times in history, and the latest has a video of a discussion on armies in worldbuilding.

Third, there's a post and discussion at BoLS on the design of DreamForge's Eisenkern stormtroopers in the context of GW's Adeptus Astartes and Imperial Guard, Mantic's Corporation, and other fictional designs of armour.

Fourth, Jabberwock at The Vorpal Mind takes a look at Reichstar, which assumes an alternative path for the Second World War, and ponders the value in exploring the space.

Fifth, here at the GW vs. Chapterhouse thread paulson games reopens discussion of the space marine pauldron in a historical context - a legal point may be variation in size.

Sixth, Overwatch at Capture and Control wonders in this post if GW's recent move on sales out of country is a sharp attempt to do more damage to smaller competitors than to itself, a little like the clustering that seems to be used by companies like Starbucks, and Dave G has an interesting supplementary anecdote here at Wargaming Tradecraft. 

Eighth, Peter Ball over at Too Few Tanks is taking on a huge terrain project inspired by a classic Necromunda board, if 'board' is the right word for it, and I'm partly to blame.

Finally, Marc Pavone at Roll For Treasure posted a dice game themed on train layout.

There's much more worth highlighting of course, but it's not especially difficult if you try.
