Something like this. I'd rather flush my money down the shitter, at least that way it gets some use wiping my ass before I throw it away.
My big deal is that they feel safe mocking The Tau Ethereal Castes, a relatively forward thinking religion with a peaceful following, but they wouldn't dare mock the far worse religion of The Imperial Cult because the vast majority of its followers would support violent retribution.
Making fun of The Tau Caste is like picking on the cripple at school. It's easy to do when you know they won't do anything back. Meanwhile, The Imperial Cult is the unhinged student with the school shooter aesthetic who needs to be taken care of, but they are cowards who wouldn't...

Your knowledge of 40k is surpassed only by by our autism

Khaine cult is the 40k scientology.
Only rich sinister faggots belong to it, and everyone has shitted on it.
>>46770156
Nah they're pretty even I'd say.
What are some more obscure miniatures games you like? Pic related.
>>46769950
People actually like that? All I ever hear about it effectively 'meh'. No strong commitment to it either way.
Does this count?
>>46770454
It probably should, I've seen people picking up the models but never playing outside of conventions.
Before it got archived the 300+ post favourite chapter thread headed in a cool direction where we started making up fluff for chapters which have colour schemes and nothing else.
Let's keep that going, /tg/
One idea I loved is that the Auric Patricians (pic related) recruit from the nobles of various hives to make the 'best of the best' and have arrogance to boost.
Let's see what we can come up with for these guys and other mehrens

Bunp.
Link to old thread?

I glanced through that thread and found it worthwhile as well. Auric marines, eh? I've got some original material about a chapter of marines in golden armor....

Could anyone who is familiar with warhammer recommend me novels which would introduce me to the warhammer universe?
Ive already read Space Marine by Ian Watson but i want to read more.
Books i disregard
> main character is female
> Maybe hard to explain but when people have conversations that are unrealistic, you can just tell its made up from someones mind.
its like a bit too naive or unprofessional/childish.
any suggestions welcome
>>46769044
>main character is female
I understand what you mean. They are so horribly written. But when they are ok, they are really just male characters with a reskin too.
>>46769061
Yeah but not going to read 25books with females to find a decent one
>>46769044
You should try Enforcer, the Shira Calpurnia trilogy. It might change your feelings about female protagonists. Plus, it's a great introduction to the 40K setting on worlds not currently at war.
> Maybe hard to explain but when people have conversations that are unrealistic, you can just tell its made up from someones mind.
You're going to need to rephrase this if you're looking for Warhammer novels. They're as ridiculous and unrealistic as any SF.
Is there some way that the empire could use Orks to do the dirty work for them? Like try to lure as many Orks into the eye of terror as possible? I'm sure the empire could just contact them and say "hey, the tuffest and biggest enemies are over here and you can go and be at war for ever you green faggots"
>>46768092
Consorting with xenos? Heresy!
More seriously, there are quite a few xenos, orks included, that can be hired to do the empire's dirty work. It's just that mast emperor-fearing citizens wont because of the afformentioned heresy.
There's the blood axes who are pretty much what you're describing. There's also probably plenty of cases of orks being manipulated towards fighting other shit less directly
Just offer them a better fight by fighting the other gits.
They'll still bury a choppa in the face of whoever sent the message, but for a good fight Orks are basically whores.
Hello, I have a copy of just about every book in L5R. I am missing all of the 1st edition character travelogues and 3rd edition Fealty and Freedom.
Anyone got?
>>46767772
>Hello, I have a copy of just about every book in L5R.
I'm guessing you don't have a PDF of Atlas of Rokugan.
according to my checklist, I have it
>>46767831
You realize that's like the holy grail of L5R PDFs?
Share if you ain't lying.
Where did your character learn to read? Who taught him/her?
>>46767637
A Catholic priest.
He's a Norse convert.
My character is a cleric. Sort of a gimme.
>>46767637
She learned from her father, who's basically a book-keeper/logistics lackey for the local lord.
Would space marines ever consider doing big game hunting in the 40k universe or other imperial factions?
Imperial Guard maybe. Space Marines definitely not as they don't collect or do anything for personal gain.
>>46767612
Yet strangely have trophies mounted on plates of their armor and such.
Salamanders
Helping my friend write a pulpy ultra-vilont post apocalyptic home brew rpg, things have been going smooth with the setting and back story but he kinda hit a brick wall.
We have no idea how mutants came to be without using the "mutated by radiation" trope, any one have any suggestions for the source for mutants and mutations? They don't have to be good suggestions. We could probably refine it out later down the line, they just have to be a suggestion.
they could be mutated from inbreeding, not enough DNA variation. Some form of virus or disease that alters the body. maybe the player is actually a mutant and he thinks everything else that is normal is mutated
>>46767458
Have you watched Spider-Man? Use that.
My vote goes to irresponsible DNA experiments
Could the Emperor of Mankind beat Dr. Manhattan in a fight?
No.
Yes.
Maybe.

Anyone know of any good games that utilize d24?
So i'm the DM of a new D&D game starting up next weekend and the campaign will be set in a desert continent known as Zaru'gesh.
Any tips for a noob DM, ideas for npcs or general cool desert-esque stories/encounters?
pic related, one of many pics I plan to use as npc portraits.
Exotic caravans, harem girls and oasis paradises are a must.

Water generally being the most important thing ever. The last time I played in a desert game, the entire country was ruled by "water barons" who more or less had complete control of the few natural springs and other bodies of water in the area and were constantly trying to take eachother out to gain control of their rival's holdings.
Also, if it's a setting where magic exists, gotta have a fortress/palace/city in the middle of a region that's constantly torn apart by sandstorms, which...

welcome to shitty spookym quest, I am on medication that is preventing me from sleeping and slowly driving me insane.
You on the other hand are a gohst. Not just any ghost, a shitty ghost. You live inside an attic, or at least you think it's an attic, but then again, most attics actually have a way down to lower floors.
You aren't really sure why you exist, you just kind of do. The attic has a shitty window, a shitty box and a shitty hole in the wall.

Holy shit. Don't drawquest if you can't draw.
Kill yourself.

Oh no! There goes your last bullet of your shitty shotgun I forgot to mention you had! Also you killed yourself! Double Oh-No!

"These temple destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and, instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar.” -- Guru John Muir
The Celestial Empire of California, once a glorious bastion of civilization and culture in North America slips further and further into chaos. Corruption and every kind of evil grows in the hearts of men. The Emperor is a decadent fool, and the Imperial...

A brief, simple reply is better than a pile of useless babble.
You reply curtly, and the boy scurries off. Quickly getting dressed, you take your staff and begin the two mile trek across the desert to the main monastery compound. The sun is oppressive, even at this early hour, and the spiky, stunted, bare joshua trees grant you little shade. Even walking at a leisurely pace, by the time you reach the abbot's quarters, you are covered in sweat.
When you enter, after bowing, you see two men in the robes and headgear of officials. One of them, a fat man obviously unused to the rigors of desert life, is fanning himself frantically, and puffing. The other, tall and thin, admires the mantras and images of the gurus and their works that cover the adobe walls. The abbot sits cross-legged on the floor, puffing on a pipe. The warm smell of colitas rises up in the air.
"Come, sit my son" he gestures toward the short table he is seated at, and pours you a cup of tea. As he is doing this, he passes his pipe to you, with his left hand, as is traditional.

Did you steal this from the After the End mod for CK2 OP?
