I've been looking to get back into either Warhammer 40k or Warmahordes (I've played 40k for a long time but never played Warmahordes) but I've been having some trouble finding people to play with. I don't really want to just try my luck at my nearest GW because usually it's filled with a bunch of kids (which was fine when I started playing the game 8 or 9 years ago but now not so much) and my FLGS seems like it's so freeform over there that you basically have to already have a group formed outside of the place and then just go there to use the boards...

Warmachine and Hordes use rules that are similar enough for them to be considered the same game. They are 100% compatible.
One of the biggest differences between 40k and Warmahordes is scale. Depending at the point-level you play at, you'll be fielding more minis in a game of 40k.
Both games kinda suck. Neither are balanced. Both games cost about the same to play. which is more popular is going to depend on your local meta.
40k has FAR better minis. PP makes the shittiest minis on the market, GW makes some of the best.
>>43613946
Really? Some of the Hordes models look pretty gorgeous. Do you mean shitty in terms of fitting them together yourself, in terms of overall model quality, or what?
>>43614059
The type of plastic they use is garbage and the model quality is terrible.
Have you ever held a warmahordes mini?
The edges and details are really soft, which is far from ideal.
So I bought 12mm dice made out of semiprecious stones because the campaign is set in Forgotten Realms' Bloodstone Lands.
They arrived and I realized just how much smaller 12mm was than 16mm. So now I need to buy two sets of 16mm, and $80 each.
So inspire me to spend $160 on two sets of dice by posting your favorite hobby crap that you know you was a waste of money
Hard Mode:Don't post GW purchases
>>43613161
I spent maybe 60 ish on a set of dice myself, plus another set that was split among friends after we got a bulk order. As for the biggest waste of money my hobbies have resulted in, I'd honestly say GURPS.
Most of their shit is out of print, and I'm a stickler for hardcover, so I ended up spending some serious dosh on new and like new GURPS books, including Magic which can get up around a hundred or so, and thaumaturgy which is about on par. All in all, I spent almost 300 bucks and I've only...

>Spirits is better
What are the advantages spirits have over horrors?
>though it looks like a pain in the ass to bring together
How so, are some of the spirit models hard to find?
>>43613068
can you choose what faction to join in Through the Breach, this is important.
>>43613068
I know there's a bunch of spirit models that don't have 2nd ed. models yet.

Looking at the upcoming releases, you shouldn't have to wait too long for that, though.
It's been a while since we talked about this - how do you feel about the old Stormtrooper design compared to the Tempestus Scions now?
Honestly? I quite like the redesign. Something about the how bulky and almost puffy the old stormtrooper armour looked, the helmets and gasmasks also just looked wrong. Not even in a old school 40k shitty tech kind of way, like a bad art direction kind of way.
I also like the new armour because it makes them look more gothic.
I just wish Terminator armour wasn't so iconic, because the fucking helmets are so hideously fucked up looking IMO they need an update. At least I have the Forgeworld Terminator armours.
New Scions are probably my favorite army right now, because they look so badass. I'm not the biggest fan of the beret's, but I don't have to have them so it doesn't bother me.
It's a damn shame that the codex is meant to be an ally instead of a full army in and of itself, maybe it will grow into its own if it gain popularity.
>>43613065
I like both methods I just wish they have released the new ones alongside the old ones like this is such and such pattern carapace armor >>43613201
Yeah Terminator heads are ugly however there are a few modifications that make them look better so at least there's that
Hey /tg/, I'm trying to write an extremely easy rule system for my lazy and stupid group. if you don't have anything better to do, give it a look and tell me what you think of it.

there are two types of skills: active and passive. a character can equip a number of active skills equal to his level and a number of passive skills equal to his level/2
active skills can be used indefinitely, but need a turn of recharge.
passive skills are always active until the player switch them off or activates another passive skill, that overrides the one currently activated. if the
character have multiple passive skill slots, the player can choose what skill is overridden. activating a passive...

hitting a target happens automatically if the target doesn't parry or dodge. targets in defensive stance take only half damage.
if the target dodges, the attacker does an atk stat check using the target's agl+1d10 as difficulty level
if the target parries, the attacker does an atk stat check using the target's def+1d10 as difficulty level
in case of critical success, the target can attempt to land an attack of opportunity. in case of critical failure, the taget is considered unable to move.

Nah nigga, that's the trick of it. The pit is a shortcut, but once you've sacked the city and packed away all the loot, you realize that you're deep underground with a heavy load and none of the floors above you have been cleared.
You also realize that all those suspiciously convenient shelf-like outcrops along the sided of the pit as smooth as porcelain on the undersides.The real boss lived in the skull the whole time. You just burned down the condos included in the legion of evil's...

Me and my girlfriend and I play a few different RPGs together now (DnD, Through the Breach, Risus, Dread). She's gotten really into it, which is fun, but she recently asked if there's any more... explicit RPGs.
She seems to think that there are RPG games with dice-rolling and everything where the characters go one weird sex adventures. I guess this is a weird idea of foreplay to her, and she likes the roleplaying aspect.
I have never, ever heard of any "sexy" RPGs that aren't people dressing up in cheap batman and catwoman outifts. Do these games exist?
>>43612879
You, your girlfriend and yourself might want to look into Book of Erotic Fantasy. Alternatively, there is Nymphology Blue Magic, but that one is more tame.
FATAL
>>43612879
just use existing systems to run lewder-centric rpgs.
Rulesets don't make sexytimes better, honest.
If she's still unsatisfied, introduce her toCoC,Defiler Wings, orF-list

You prod the corpse with your foot, nudging the robes further open. Where you had expected to find a wizard was instead a tall and slender creature fashioned from white wood. And not bolted or hinged together either, grown together as if it had seamlessly emerged from the earth this way. It is humanoid in basic shape though one of its arms ends not in a hand but a staff-like growth. It is faceless and once you pull the robes all the way off, sexless as well. A mockery of the human figure but without any of the details....

Actually, not a bad call since we just earned a freebie.
Also I'm torn. We could win this one and secure what we all want "abigail to win"
But the invasion battle sounds fun as hell. But then, we risk losing that to Petyr, and that is not acceptable.

Well, as a class they are blessed.
>>43612571
Well, bards and sorcerers might also go in for high constitution with their charisma, in the former case if they want to get into close combat because woo swords, and in the latter case because eh what else do they need. So they'll probably compete.
