I'm wondering, is there any Tyranid organism that can actually evolve all by itself?
As in, it starts small, and then, the more it eats, the bigger and the more intelligent it grows.
Basically, Tyranids evolve collectively, the evolution is made by digesting something, assimilating the DNA, and then spitting out something to counter a threat.
I'm looking for somehting that is akin to a single spore or small organism that grows exponentiallt.
>>43738937
Nope. Most Tyranids lack the necessary organs to live more than a week, much less do what you're describing. Tyranids are not Zerg comrade.

Okay thanks.
Hunter-killers. It's an old assassin organism sent to kill Kryptman. It started about the size of a dog and consumed wild animals to grow and evolve enough to infiltrate the fortress Kryptman was in, killed and ate more guards, and eventually was shot to death by Kryptman.
Though, I think it was driven by the hive mind from the start rather than gain intelligence
Uh, are there more games like this?
Not the reddit-tier humor, but the fast, fun pace of card game play for two players without all the bullshit cost of ccgs.
There are literally thousands of non-collectible card games.
If you go into any game store, any game store at all, you will literally trip over hundreds of great games, with most if not all better than that thing you are inexpertly trying to shill.

Ugh, I don't want some autism level netrunner shit, I want something easy and fast, and for two players. You'd be surprised how many traditional games completely shit the bed when they're only played by two players.

I played a nice one about exploding cows. The premise was ridiculous but the gameplay was quite good. I think there's a free printable version on cheapass games.
It's 40,000! Why do xenos and heretics still exist?
Because despite your being space Romans, your entire race is still just a bunch of plebes.
It's 40,000! Come on!

Space heroes like yourself spent 38,000 years making Warhammer threads on the internet instead of doing anything productive.
Tell me, /tg/, what will happen once we delegate almost all of our jobs to robots?
You know, in all sci fi humans apparently stay relevant despite all those super advanced robots that coexist with us. Meanwhile what we see now is that soon enough the robots will truly spell doom for our race just by making us obsolete.
How will post-economical society look like?
Will we all just spend our days shitposting on a Taiwanese quilting mailing list?
>>43738595
For one, all the poor people we're already not paying will get no paid more and then we'll have a bunch of burger flippers and janitors mad at us. But assuming we use robots for actual practical jobs like shit that gets people killed on a regular basis, then we'll also have disgruntled police, security, bomb squads, construction workers, and fire fighters all out of work and looking to do something with their gratuitous beef that we previously could only make use of by throwing them at shit in hopes...

In a sci-fi setting I worked on, I theorized a future for a humanity who would be otherwise irrelevant compared to the superintelligent AIs and automated systems that could fulfill all their basic needs effortlessly.
With prior notions of worth and value discarded, uniqueness and reputation become key. Sure, everyone can just mass produce a chair. But what chair do you pick? Hundreds of thousands of people might be designing a variety of them on a publicly rated marketplace, but choosing the most popular ones might be seen as gauche, just going with the flow. If you're...

Don't worry, mate, soon your job will be as irrelevant and automated as a cashier's or driver's.
Happy Friday, /tg/. Let's talk Frostgrave.
Would appreciate it if someone could please post the links for the the general, don't have them and I'd like to change that.
Alright, been reading through the rules and I'm ready to start putting together my warband. Has /tg/ figured out optimal builds, at this point? Or is everything balanced enough that there's no real "superior loadout?"
>>43738523
Since wizards get extra exp for kills, one of the more fighty types might have an edge (enchanter, elementalist, etc).
Personally I'm hoping to get it for christmas, and maybe go for Summoner. Demons and possess seem good for a close combat fighty wizard.
>>43738571
Good observation, thanks. I've also been talking to people about how they handle snowballing. The popular solution for our local campaign is for the player in the lead to just assemble a new wizard/warband. What solutions have you heard/seen played?
Is there a game where I can play as a Taequan Jarvis, level 4 crack dealer, high bandit of the blood clan

This actually reminds me of Dead Island.

Once again, you've found yourself wading through deep snow while a bitter winter wind stings your exposed face. Still, as terrible as this weather is, you can't deny that moving forwards like this feels good. Better than moping around, anyway.
Your name is Cassandra Einhart, and not so long ago it felt like your world was collapsing around you. Ever since Amelia...

Still, weather aside, you're feeling pretty good about things now. Cu – his name, he told you once, meant “Hound” - will live. In time, his wounds will heal, leaving him with nothing but a set of new scars and a story to go along with them. Truth be told, you always liked his scars – you'd let your fingers wander across each gnarled crease in his otherwise smooth and perfect flesh while he told you the familiar stories of how he got each of them. Sometimes he'd twist the details a little,...

I honestly don't know which would sting more
So, everything I read about Tyrannids seems to point out that, if the Universe was a human body, the Nids would be akin to a cancer slowly eating away any healthy cells it could find and growing because of it.
Now, we all know its the Nid Hive-Mind that controls, manages and dictates how this growth is gonna happen. What traits are gonna become usable, who is gonna evolve into what, etc.
What if an individual Tyrannid happened to "be born defective" and unconnected or rampant/indifferent to the Hive-Mind? And what if that Nid started consuming enormous,...

1) The Imperium would just Exterminatus it. It is a blob of flesh, not that hard to kill in a space battle with guns and such.
2) The "Nids fleeing from something" is just speculation and the dumbest piece of lore for them. Completely takes the threat off of the Tyranids and makes them seem secondary to the thing they are fleeing from. It would be like if the Chaos gods were just eating souls so they could power up enough to fight the Super Chaos Gods.
3) What is it with everyone wanting Tyranids...

Varying degrees of unlikely to impossible. Most Tyranid bioforms have a lifespan of a week at most, after which they're broken down in digestive pools and recycled for new ones. Big ones like Carnifexes and Tyrants probably live longer, but they all eventually throw themselves back into the spawning pool eventually. Giving them a digestive system in the first place is useless and counterproductive.
>>43737972
You gotta admit the concept is interesting, and presents a different idea than just "I'mma kill these Xenos and Heretics over here".
Besides, it's speculation, chill, it's not like GW is gonna read this thread and put it into the lore.

It's eating planets and ships. It wouldn't be far-fetched to assume...
