Understood, Yizzy.

>>44959000
okay I'm back
Looks like our species as a whole has dealt mainly with the Imperial Guard and human forces. Our homeworld is likely home to them as well.
what role do we play?
>roll 1d100
Rolled 79 (1d100)
>>44959146
Please be a daemon killa
>>44959168
We are a "Hunter" - "Unstoppable either through it's skill or the shear amount of them on a world." We are fairly unique creature then that isn't to be intimidated.

Got to go. So this creature is like http://jackiechanadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Jiangshi no?

Unfornately not a daemon killa!
We've killed and eaten scores of human hunters, guardsman, PDF, or neophytes
Quick Overview of our Creature so far:

Now here is where this thread might differ from others. We will now be rolling for the actually creature stats, looks, and abilities, all with a points cost associated with it.
>>44959295
sounds interesting. could very well end up that way!
sad to see you go
roll for creature size!
>1d6
Rolled 5 (1d6)
>>44959349
But why does it fight the guard? Let's find out.
>>44959375
>>44959385
That's a good idea. I should add a table of reasons for why it fights different factions. For right now it fights to feed itself and the opportunity to reproduce!
Looks like we got a Large Creature here

>>44959472
Looks like we are a Quadruped, moving on all of legs and limbs. We count as cavalry +10 points
We now cost 25 points.

>plague
Nurgle, get your junk out of our monster, or take notes.
>>44960059
>Lure
Before engaged the beast burrows beneath the ground, exposing only it's sensitive snout, it's razors primed to strike from below at unexpected angles.
>Replicate
The young offspring of our beast hide deep beat the earth but their tunnels never stray far from the parents hunting ground. When the blood is spilled the children burst from the ground, ready to feast upon the mother's quarry.

Rolled 28 (1d100)
>>44958270
Well this sounds like fun, hre' we go!
>>44960402
Yeah I think this enough points.
>>44960410
You were late to the party.
>>44960427
Yea, just saw how this works. Oh well, ill stick around anyway.
>>44960444
That's always a good idea. We can always make a new monster anyway.
>>44960410
We're practically finished now sorry friend.
Thanks to everyone here. I'll stay in the thread. This is the first creature creation /tg/'s done I think.
Please give advice and critique my tables. I feel like maybe I should limit the abilities amounts? My first time doing one of these, and the creature turned out to be an absolutely devastating monster!
>>44960478
also forgot to add I gtg cook some stuff. I'll keep tabs on the thread and whatnot, but I won't have time right now to run another creature creation.
>>44960241
>Plague
>Musk
Clearly our beast wallow in the corpse of its prey, catching carrion and flesh on its hooked barbs and dragging it down it it's subterranean den to feed it's infant brood. Over time the beast becomes covered in rotted gore and caked blood, become a host to all sorts of disease and giving off a noxious odor the both keeps aggressors at bay and aids in attracting a mate.
TG, what's it's name?
>>44960540

>>44960540
The Beast With the Stench of a Thousand Corpses.
Do we roll up a new creature now or what? I'm sort of hoping for a lava world Wendigo like creature.
>>44960840
I miss when gw had home brew creative stuff...
>>44960840
>>44960885
When did this GW die?
>>44960540

Strong.
And if you don't know what it is you will still know that is is BIG.

When the money flow was slowly draining.
>>44961029
Which was around what 2005?
>>44961010
>>44960961
2nd edition but that's arguable. Earlier editions had their charm though, not the clean look of newer models and art.
>>44960853
Let's do it.
Roll 1d100 for what kind of world they are from.
Rolled 57 (1d100)
>>44961077
Rolling.
>>44961090
>Plains - "It calls it home in the fertile plains of a temperate world."
Well lookee here. Maybe another creature from the same world.
Roll 1d10 for food habits
Rolled 4 (1d10)
>>44961150
I'm disappointed.
>>44961181
It doesnt appear to be stopping soon
>Herbivore - "Though still dangerous, this creature attacks out of defense instead of hunger."
How does the creature reproduce?
1d10
Rolled 7 (1d10)
>>44961212
>>44961219
And it reproduces the natural way. Roll for main sense.
>>44961219
>Allogamy/Autogamy - "Normal reproduction between two species with an egg and sperm."
Main sense? Roll 1d10
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>44961253
Let's see what we got.
>>44961262
>Touch
Eye sight, hearing, taste, and smell are not it's strong suit. I dub this thing the Silent Groper.
>>44961253
Yeah... remember I made these tables yesterday it's a work in progress...lol
Roll for the major conflicts.
>d100
>>44960351
Doodled this on an index card at work
Also time for grimdark:
>Somewhat ironically, though the [beast] is a terrible blight upon the farming populous of [Agri world] they are also almost solely responsible for the planets fertility. The tunneling beasts till and churn the soil and their droppings and gory coats leave behind a grizzly but effective fertilizer in their wake. As such particularly bountiful harvests have become ill omens, indicating that death may be prowling just beneath the lush top soil.
Rolled 9 (1d100)
Is there an other beast option?
I'll make sure to go back and add the arts in the thread to the wiki page later on.
>>44961723
Again with the IG. What did the Silent Groper do?
>>44961795
So is it established this is the same planet??
>>44961841
Yes.
>>44961903
Word, my guess is it poaches crops.
What's the roll?
Maybe we do a rolling up creature threads every weekend? Weekend Creature Feature anyone?
>>44961935
d100 for the role its species play.
Rolled 55 (1d100)
>>44961963
I'm game.
>>44962006
We are left alone to grope silently in the night. Roll for our deeds. 1d10
Rolled 5 (1d10)
>>44962062
Techpriest feel free to look over the tables and add stuff/change stuff. There's definitely some contracting things. I think in the future I plan to add some kind of limiter to how many abilities a creature can get, either by a dice roll or some hard limit. I definitely need more back ground and lore tables though. Maybe what the creature evolved from ex. Reptilian, and how old the species is.
>>44962159
The tables look fine to me, but a limiter would be useful unless we're are trying to create a creature like the first one. The age and evolution thing sounds neat though.

>Taken down and possibly eaten scores of human hunters, guardsman, PDF, or neophytes
We're a mutant, or we're groping people too hard.
I've added the first creature here:

Oh this is awesome, if we get a goodly number of them I might have to get down to sculpt/kitbashing to make a monster team.
Roll for the locomotion. 1d10

>>44963984
Quadruple. It's 4-legged.
>>44963984
Quadruped. Dang it. I was hoping for something on two legs.
>>44963984
Another quadruped and I think we missed some stuff.
>>44964064
Yep I think we missed what role the creatures play and our personal creature exemplary action. Unless you want to ignore these?
>>44964145
Ah, apologies somehow missed that.
>>44964193
It's okay.
>>44958270
>>44960181
Hostile plants.
Randomly generated creatures.
Damn, where did I put those killteam rules?
>>44964145
So is that it for the tables or are there more to go?
Anybody fancy summing up this new beast? It'd be great if we could use this to flesh out an ecosystem on the same world.
>>44967037
There is the ability rolls we haven't done yet.
Rolled 7 (1d35)
>>44967187
1d35s right?
>>44967770
Yes. What is your roll for? The size or something else?
Rolled 3 (1d6)
>>44967798
ability, forgot about size roll being needed, it's a d6 for the size, right? If so, rolling
>>44967950

We're medium sized. Now to roll for the abilities. Roll a 10d3.

>>44968258
there's another thread up in the catalog
