Has anyone ever had a BBEG that would become unstoppable had they actually put time into training?

No, because that's a stupid concept that was popularized by anime when they vapidly tore aspect of earlier, successful animes without understanding what made the original shows good.

Just take creatures from the monster manual and start giving them class levels

Well, congratulations. Your character has spontaneously been rendered effectively immortal. What does your character do with this newfound power?

They no longer age and are completely immune to disease, poison, instant death magic, and deleterious soul-affecting effects.

Going without food and drink causes nonlethal hunger pangs and dehydration. Going without sleep or breath causes fatigue and nausea. (These do not apply if your character never needed to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe to start with.) They are no more durable than before, and they still feel the pain of injuries.

Their natural rate of healing is multiplied by 64 and causes no scarring, but this is still relatively slow compared to magical healing from external sources. Death results in instant revival with a completely refreshed and undamaged body, opening up that avenue for an instant full heal-up, but dying tends to be extremely painful for your character.

This immortality cannot be undone by any means whatsoever. There is no recourse for being trapped.

Unless my party's current plan is "Go fuck up the ruling pantheon in a fistfight", this would be my answer. It would make an interesting story, but not an exciting game.

Let's say that you can purchase the rights to one /tg/-related game.

You can do whatever you want with it, but your goal is to generate as much anger as possible. What do you do?

GW already did it with AoS.

And Pathfinder already happened.

I suppose I could reduce Warmachine to AoS-level rules and fuck with all the WAAC gamers.

A slightly different "what is your favourite chapter" thread.
I really like the few space marine chapters with orange as their main palette.
Gives them a heroic glow and it is a shame not more chapters use this wonderful colour.

Anyway, what colour makes you tickle for chapters, no matter how lame their fluff and crunch might be?

>giant block of militia with archers mixed in
Literally why. The militia will break the archers morale just by existing, and the archers are in harms way when the formation gets crushed like the incompetent bug the militia make it.
Why not put the tribe warriors up front, the shielded militia further up front, and all the archers in the rear?
>>
>>43618251
The tribal warriors are conservatives and so fear the sight of dicks. They stay behind for that reason.

The militias and archers are liberals.

I generally don't have a problem with it, unless it's extremely out of place with the environment or it's done purely for fetish fuel

not that I'm necessarily against that, but it does sort of break immersion

Excuse me, Commissar, but why do we never use chemical weapons? I understand that the Necrons are immune, the Eldar, Tau, and Chaos Space Marines wear helmets, and the Tyranids are probably immune, but surely chemical weapons could thin out Ork numbers.

Why are you asking this question again?

Really, you might as well try asking original questions, instead of just recycling these threads in order to repost your meme every single day.
>>
>>43616703
The imperium values territory more than it does human life. The actual reason is the Virus Outbreak card was too good.

The Eldar are, generally speaking, still susceptible to chemical weaponry. Tau gear is woefully ill-equipped to deal with that kind of thing as well.

You're an evil evil warlord. Really good at what you do. You want to take over a well-defended city that's resisting your rule, and of course you need an army. You've got three potential offers, but none of them want to work with the others.

One is a necromancer, who would raise a horde of skeletons, zombies, and anything that you can kill that can be raised up again. Dragons? No problem, he can give you undead dragons. The main flaw is that the undead aren't able to follow very complex orders, or good at manning siege equipment, despite needing no food or water.

Another is an orc chieftan. His people aren't very good with tactics or logistics, but they are very strong and skilled warriors who can easily outmatch the average enemy defender. Their seige engines are crude, but can be quite clever, though they're not the most patient type.

The third offer is a mercenary leader, whose forces are mainly human, with a scattering of other races. Professional soldiers, well trained, and have done sieges before. But they expect Independence and to follow their own code, and could be enticed to join the enemy.

Who do you chose?

Make them work with the others. They'll be no bitching in my command.

Although if I have to pick, the Orcs.
>>
>>43616596

Necromancer, and just a fuckton of zombies. Enough of them, they'll climb the walls on a mound of corpses. And every dead enemy is a fresh recruit. If I can't get that many Undead, smuggle the Necromancer into the city, start up a sketchy murder-cult to kickstart a zombie apocalypse and go from there. Alternatively, have your undead, tireless warriors dig under the city.

Necromancer:
Use the necromancer to raise enough men to kill the other two groups. Raise them. Have a huge army. Who needs siege machines if we can have undead trolls and a few skeletal dragons. Also, even if undead are stupid we can probably get them to "dig a tunnel that way" so they undermine the walls.

The biggest advantage of undead is their lack of fear or grumbling. Throw waves against the walls time and time again and they won't care. The orcs will get impatient or be scared, the mercs will get pissed and want to quit, but undead don't care. If the enemy loses men we can just take their numbers.

If the 40k setting followed any kind of basic logic at all the whole thing would completely fall apart immediately.
Sorry dude, but it's not a particularly well thought-out setting that really only exists as a vehicle for a wargame that itself only exists as a vehicle to sell models.

You try keeping a mirror clean enough to reflect a beam on a muddy battlefield.

So... what if people sometimes randomly changed their personalities?

Anarchy. People couldn't rely on anyone. Most people would be cynical quasi-sociopaths exploiting those who the curse had turned into trusting fools.
