So, what happens to Dark Eldar that you pod or Companion (the Incubi companion from Commoragh, LoT DEldar Companion) once you move on?

Their connection to Slaanesh is either severed or time stopped, but now that their soul isn't leaking out by the ultimate hedonist, would they be a little less sadistic and less likely to go too far? I mean, they'd definitely continue for a while, just because years of habit and conditioning, but they wouldn't literally NEED to act like, well, a DEldar.

Could they be changed? Would they be willing to change?

I guess what I'm saying is 'how do you rehabilitate a Dark Eldar into something that could function in a reasonable universe and society?'

Depends on the group and the game. I was running a playtest for a weird metasystem called Break, and the first session ended with the PCs putting a crack in the sun. That was fun.

Are there intresting monsters that are basically human (or demi-human) but infected with something magical or similar, other than lycanthropes or vampires? I'm trying to write an adventure for my group, and it's going to have a murderer who's secretly something monstrous, but I don't really want it to be something so overused. It'd be cooler to have something a bit less common. I just can't seem to think of any off the top off my head.

What other monsters would fit well into a supernatural killer adventure where the killer is pretending to be an ordinary person and has to be exposed? Bonus points for something unconventional that would really surprise the playes and their characters. No points for suggesting doppelgangers.

Other than non-Voodoo zombies, there's a few I can think of off the top of my head.

>Cult of former humans who, due to exceptional circumstances or their own free will, consumed human flesh. Over time, the consumption to feed exclusively on human flesh began to corrupt them, and their desire for flesh overrode any and all other personality traits they may have had, and the residual magic of their actions and their surroundings turned them into silent, barely-humanoid creatures of the night, who despite their ferocity and inhumanity still retain a large amount of their cunning and intellect.

Alternatively,

>man who has been possessed by a particularly insidious demon. The demon grants him charisma, power, strength, and intellect, as well as great health, but at a price - he must kill a specific type of person whenever the demon demands it be done. While this is usually at a specific intervals and in a specific manner, the demon can make those demands at any time, and they must be complied with in a reasonable time frame, or else the demon will full-on possess his body, turning it into a horrific monster and casting the mans soul irreversibly into whatever particular hell your setting has with no hope of resurrection. While the demon takes the long-game approach, and feels it can sate itself better by siphoning off a little at a time over a long period rather than a brief but hyper-violent existence, it has no problems killing the man - after all, he can always possess a new body.
>this man will most likely be a well-liked and upstanding member of the community, with a great many people who love and depend on him.

Yes, obscure folkloric monsters that impersonate humans.

Are there any modern (post-Heresy) examples of Chaos Space Marines that take inspiration from historical civilizations and/or organizations? Be it in terms of structure, doctrine, personality, or maybe even empire.

Multiple Loyalist chapters do it,
>Ultramarines [Rome]
>Space Wolves [Vikings]
>Black Templars [Templars]
>Storm Lords [Celtics]
>Dark Angels [Catholic Orders]
And probably more.

Surely there must be CSM groups that have themes like this, or are capable of it.

You run up the stairs of the tower. The time has come. Dark Lord Vhapesh, the man responsible for the deaths of millions, conqueror of the known world, the one who exterminated the elves and whose highest ranking general killed your father lies just before you. You are Adam, a paladin, and you bring with you Maria, the sorceress, Deepak, the thief, Jezebelle, the druid, and Antioch, the warlock. You lead the party, a sword in your hand that glows with bright white light. You don't even stop for the door, bashing it down with your shoulder as you enter the top room where the Dark Lord sits.
"Oh, hello. Fancy a cup of tea?" An old man, rather scrawny, sits at a coffee table with teacups laid out. He seems to have politely refrained from drinking any before your arrival. "My vizier told me that I had guests arriving. I do hope that you enjoy jasmine tea. Please, have a seat."

>"Are you Vhapesh?"
>"Oh, um, okay. Thanks."
>"You'll pay for your crimes against humanity!"

"You you Vhapesh?" You ask, holding your sword up.
"Oh, well, I suppose I am. You get so used to the whole 'my lord', or 'your highness' thing that sometimes you forget your name."
The old man smiles, his teeth yellow or missing. This guy has to be at least 90. Nothing like the stories of that dark lord who conquered the lands.
"Come in, come in," he says, waving his hand. "There's no reason to be hostile, is there?"
Maria looks at you as Vhapesh motions for you all to sit and drink some tea.

Alright guys, it's been a long time since I posted here - I swear I was out of the hobby for only a few short years and....this happened?

Can someone summarize what the hell happened?

GW wasn't happy that Fantasy sales weren't good, so they decided to just reboot the whole thing. Lore-wise, it is basically the End Times with a new world created out of it.

Chaos takes over the Fantasy world, so Sigmar, now a god, creates new realms/planes for each faction including himself. Slowly, Chaos makes its way into all of them, and those races retreat into Sigmar's own new realm. Hilarity ensues.

GW also renamed all of the races and introduced a Space Marine-esque army as the new face of Fantasy. Additionally, AoS uses round bases, and it is more of a micromanaging game than the macromanaging game it was before. Old models still have rules despite all of the old characters being dead.

TL;DR: Fantasy 40k complete with an Emperor, Space Marines, and new names for all races. New rules, lore, etc.
>>
Well, that's the most succinct explanation I have seen.

Wow, ballsy move. Did the consider ...maybe... lowering their miniature prices to try and incite sales? No? Righto. Carry on then.

So.....Orcs are 'Orruks' now? :/
>>
I forgot to mention that Khorne is the BBEG and Slaanesh is now a minor Chaos god, replaced in the pantheon by the Skaven's Horned Rat.

So rate this Magic concept, /tg/.

>"Magic" also called Sorcery, Arcanism, High Spellcraft, etc. Allows the user to cast magical spells with a myraid of impressive, usually instant and obvious effects. Fireballs, summoning creatures and objects, warping space, teleportation, etc.
>"Magick" also called Low arts, The Craft, Thaumaturgy is a hodge-podge collection of various skills, disciplines, and magickal errata to work miracles and manipulate the world in often strange and subtle ways.

For example, someone with Magic can shoot fire or lightning, but someone with Magick can influence someone's mind or use a curse. Both obviously have overlap but the idea is that people in the first category have to be born with their powers, where as people in the second learn it, but don't actually cast 'spells' as we typically understand it.

How do you feel about this concept?
