Can the wretched traitors ever recover from this?
>It has been estimated that as a few as two dozen Traitor Legionaries survived the comprehensive retribution that followed in the wake of Horus’s defeat*. Those that did were the most craven and cowardly, who ran first from their failure at Terra. The Traitor Space Marines that you may see today are a pale shadow of the Legionaries of that era.
Chaosfags, are you even trying?
>>48259106
Their codex seems to fit the description.
>>48259136
>While some Traitor Legions and their Primarchs did side with Horus, these were, without fail, the weaker Legions, jealous of the success of noble and uncorrupted warriors such as those of the Imperial Fists, Ultramarines and Blood Angels.
It's over. Chaosbabbies are finished.
Here I've made a pyramid of 36 classes all steaming from Thief on the bottom left, Mage on the bottom right, and Fighter at the top in the center.
This scale and calculation I've done is for each of the classes and their chances of succeeding at something that the fighter is best at, fighting martially. On the left I have the amount of d6 rolled for the check and the number next to it the target number they must get under to succeed.
So as you can see, the vanilla thief and mage to fight martially and do as well as the fighter roll 8d6 and have to get...

Sorry for the Grammer you guys. I'm posting from my phone and at work. So sorry if I don't get back to this thread soon enough. Stay cool my dudes.
>>48259022
a class pyramid.....that is entirely in stat calculation?
Who even cares? The important difference in classes are theme and function, not die sizes.
>>48259051
The theme and function of each will come out of what they are mechanically good at. This pyramid decides those mechanics.
Thus, the theme of the fighter is fighting and martial combat. As we move down the pyramid from fighter more and more to the bottom right we will have a mix of mage and fighter which is a spellsword. The themes of each class will be different for each non-shaded triangle.
Do wizards slay dragons for riches, or respect?
>>48258588
For that sweet wizardess that got rumours going around her that she got nice ass pussy but only give it up to drwgonslayers so she knows you can slay her pussy good
>>48258613
>>48258588
Yes, and also any number of other motivations, because wizards are people and don't have to conform to some kind of arbitrary stereotype.

Are our weapons real enough to still do damage? Does the beer still get us drunk?
Good. Anarchy time!
Hi /tg/ so I just got into Mordheim recently. I know gw abandoned it ages ago, but it is still interesting. I was wondering if there was any fluff or lore to go with it. Would anyone be willing to share lore pdfs or links?
Additionally are there any suggestions for model proxies? Like reaper miniatures or something along those lines.
If you're old blood what did you main as your warband? Any suggestions.
Has anyone tried the video game version? As far as I've found it's spot on and looks good.
For those who don't know the base...

Anyone have the pdf for the averland warbands ?

>Has anyone tried the video game version? As far as I've found it's spot on and looks good.
I found a rather entertaining glitch with the SoS Matriarch. I believe it's linked to one of the possible costume options, but the main body model is rendered at 90 degrees to the way it ought to be, with no movement.
>>48257201
Another new guy here, I've always been more into large scale battle games but my friend got me into Mordheim recently and it's pretty fun.
So I was watching the warhammer armies blogspot project and I noticed that the fluff is for the most part as it literally copy pastes myths and legends from real world cultures and shoehorns it in the old world with slight spelling. Since /tg/ gets shit done and has made pretty cool fluff in the past, I was wondering if we could flesh out the other factions of Warhammer FB a bit more.
So what we know about ind is this.
a kind anon had the good idea here, lets take it further.

A strange game.
The only winning move is not to play.
How about a nice game of chess?
>mfw a player asks me to make their character for them.
Has this ever happened to anyone else and have you done it?
>>48254263
i (politely) tell them that if they don't feel like putting the effort forth to make their own character, this is probably not the game for them
>>48254263
it happened to me a few days ago
i still haven't made it yet /tg/ help me
>>48254263
I love making characters so I've done it for a few people, they have to read their own abilities though, ain't my job to teach them when to use them.
Do you have any tips for describing to your players a fantasy setting that was built on the ruins of a modern world without just saying it? Think Adventure Time, Nausicaa, Shannara, Wizards, etc.
Ideally I'd like this to be a slow revelation over the course of the campaign culminating with a big blatant reveal in the last session or two.
How long has society been gone? How much shit is left?
"You trip over strange black rocks, they are a ribbon, straight to the valley where you seek parley, the general isn't there"
>>48253895
Thanks.
I'm thinking society has been gone 300-400 years. So, I guess just shells of big buildings, subway tunnels, beached aircraft carriers, and other big stuff is left.
Check out The Book of Swords and At Winters End.
There are also a couple documentaries about what would happen if humans disappeared. Given the timescale, nothing currently modern would last given a huge apocalypse of some sort.
I suggest that their be a few clues that can be explained as magical anachronisms and making the end of the campaign take place in a ruined (or relatively maintained) modern enclave.
I would say a more advanced civilization would last better than a modern one, and you can get away with passing sci-fi tech as magic items more easily than a piece...

Periodically trends in the course of human events shift the balance in a region and super-charge the old gods, nature spirits, and forces of weirdness bubbling beneath the surface of reality. This happened with the art scene in Europe after the Great War and in Japan in the 90's when cell-phones became ubiquitous before their mass adoption in the US or Europe. Neither of those magical waves ended well. And now it is happening again, in North America, with craft beer. And it is up to you to shape what kind of impact this magical wave will have, and stop whatever shadowy...

I'm loving the mental image of people becoming increasingly drunken in order to stack on the effects of these magical brews. One must balance the mystical boons with the most blatant debuff of all. The greatest beer wizards are all fat guys and raging alcoholics. Rumors emerge from New Orleans of a man who had Hoodoo worked on his liver to enhance the uncanny effects of these wicked brews. A beer hipster in Queens discovers life is worth more than plaid shirts and terrible tastes in music when a mixup at a tasting...

Bump for intrest.
Also lets talk nitty gritty.
What brews take what effects better?
Are stouts the best for strength/stamina buffs? Were those old Guinness adds right all along?
Could the hops in an IPA help hold the delicate mental buffs together longer?
Is a well rounded lager the best for beginers to learn on due to its blend of charicteristics?
This is too fantastical for me. Where are the elves?
What's the edgiest campaign you've ever seen?

actually this seems like the thread to ask this, so i'm trying to make a super edge lord for a friend's campaign, this is supposed to be a goofy E6 campaign where all the pc's rolled on a few charts for personality and some traits. I got a literal edgelord that comes with a troubled past and a wolf companion, anyone want to help me flesh the character out? We're using dnd 3.5 and are restricted to only humans, other than that everything is fair game also we're using point buy 32, I'm...

Getting ready for those AGPs ?
What are you playing?
What are you brewing ?
Asked in last thread but nobody really answered, why do no valentina 2 decks run apollo? Is flying overrated?
>>48251878
usually flying is irrelevant ni the deck since you just use her gods arts from other rulers, usually just using melgis to kill anything that blocks her so having flying is irrelevant .
So with the recent NGP/GP in 3 separate countries, how do you feel the meta will be, there were some really interesting builds in the top 8 of all three regions.
Looking back on it, is there an NPC/PC/DMPC that would have made more sense or been more fun if you had chosen the opposite gender for it?
Gandalf
Gender does nothing mechanically, so it wouldn't help my stats.
>>48248582
Most of my NPCs are female, because my PCs are less likely to try and murder them of they're girls. So they would probably end up dying a lot more.
My PCs are always old dudes who fight for justice, so maybe it would be better depending on the current story.
My DMPCs dint exist.
So no, not really.
Are there any good ones? RPG's or board games, light or heavy. Saw a KS and got curious about the combination, but it's always better to get a game that already exists and is already good.
The closest I can think of is King of Tokyo, since that has the whole Kaiju vs Mecha thing going. And also kinda Monsterpocalypse, but despite solid mechanics that was booster based trash.

I've run two super robot systems, one might work.
First is Giant Guardians Generations.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Giant_Guardian_Generation
Second is Mekton Zeta (and zeta plus)
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Mekton
Pick which one you like.
You could always play Adeptus Evangelion, but, like the source material, that's less "Fuck yeah, robots!" and more "Welp, time to be a fuckup, but in a robot"
