I need to be frank with you /tg/ I'm a little edgy...
I want to play 40k on the table top, but I don't want to be "just another" space marine chapter, ork tribe, craftworld or whatever.
I want to play something that is more unique yet sound rule wise and lore wise, say; green skinned Space Marines that act Orky and even have a retinue of Ork cannon fodder, Chaos Eldar that worship a god so Slaanesh won't eat there soul, or Human Fire Warriors.
What do you think is a good idea for an unusual yet agreeable army ?
Tau sometimes have humans who have defected, Chaos Space Marines are fucky, just make a chapter of your own space marines like the "Nice Marines" and use the standard Space Marine Codex

But will OP still be able to get Daemon Support then?
>>46736710
Famous ones: Red Fantasy Orks for Bloodletters, make an Ork Khorne Daemonkin army.
Grots with imperial guard guns for imperial guard (renegade grots from gorkamorka).
Imperial Guard with Tau guns for Gue'vesa Tau army. Usually you stick comlinks on their heads.
Skaven for Imperial Guard or Dark Eldar, they have a wide range of models and their abominations work for Ogryn or DE monsters.
Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle for Necrons, using Necron guns. The Oldcrons infected mankind...

Otherwise, any on-topic comments?
Is multiclassing as a wizard in 3.5 always a Bad Idea?™
Not always. There are some really good prestige classes.
>>46736095

>>46736095
Generally speaking in 3.PF you never want to combine a full caster class with anything that doesn't stack spellcasting ranks in the full caster class.
So, several prestige classes are OK but several are not and trying to multi with random other classes is almost always a bad idea because #1 top wizard power is throwing out spells, and you're losing out on that for stuff that is almost always going to be inferior to wizard spells.

If JTMS were to be printed today, what would WOTC cost him at?
I bought a load of 40k as a kid and its all been hidden in a shoe box for about the last 10 years. Most of it is in bad condition but maybe its salvageable? Got a few lead figures (hero figures and the terminators)
Is it worth putting on ebay, or should I just give it away?
Appropriate glue can salvage anything if you try hard enough.
If you intend on playing 40k, keep it and fix it up.
If you don't intend on playing 40k, sell it on ebay.
I've also Got these Dwarves and a few other bits. I got them from my cousin over 10 years ago so they could be pushing 15-20 years old? All lead figures.
Again, is this stuff worth anything?
>>46734202
Old metal figures can be worth a bit on ebay.
Tell me about your familiar
As usual, I chose a raven familiar. When the DM asked me what language he speaks, I thought for a bit and answered- Dark Speech. -

as a partial challenge I'm making a Sisters of battle force out of nothing but third party models, Raging Heroes, Wargames Exclusive, Prodos Games, and so forth, some will be a bit down the way, but one I'm trying to figure out now is the Repentia, I dislike the hood design on the existing figures and am planning to give them big clumsy helmets, where can I find minis with helmets like that of Pyramid head?
Also Proxy General I guess
>>46733039
Steamborg with a little MIT of greenstuff would be a cool SoB.
>>46733643
looking it up, it wouldn't be bad with some doing though out of box it would also be great for Mechanicus armies
>>46733039
If you put those next to normal GW models, the models around them would look even more stumpy, wide and dis-proportioned than normal.
That said, those are some fucking fine models.
Did R get saddled with haste?
Over the years all the other colors(particularly U) have gotten cool and useful abilities, while Red is still stuck with the old stuff.
Why?
>>46732491
R recently just got primary menace and secondary prowess.
red's biggest power to come out of nuMagic is having to pay 5 mana for a 5 damage to one creature sorcery because dealing damage to a creature needs to be penalized even more compared to normal removal.
Red's effects are very powerful aswell despite being old, idk if you've heard the saying "Red deck wins" but red jano is always solid and doesn't really need that many keywords. Although menace is becoming a red norm.
If I create an illusion that fools sight, hearing, smell and even tactile senses to the point where if the illusion attacks your brain reacts and causes you damage then what's the difference between that and something real?
>>46732154
It's an illusion.
>>46732154
Perception does not create reality. The illusion, however "real" it may seem, exists within a limited corporeal framework. It is lesser in scale than the sum total of reality.
Postmodernism ruined philosophy and the sooner we forget it the better. Look what it did to the Wachowski Sisters.
>>46732154
This is a debate for the wrong board, anon. This falls into the realm of philosophy, and, to a lesser extent, psychology. Look up the phaneron and subjective reality.

The square table at the tavern divides the people you know into sectors perfectly.
On your right, the people you like: the Warrior, the Priest, and Worst/Best Girl, who came over as soon as she heard that something happened in the Shounen sector involving an Outer.
“How did you even find out where I was?”, you asked her. She glared at you before refreshing your memory. “You got lost and I brought your sorry ass back here on your first day. That’s how”.
She doesn’t look like she’s in a particular good mood when she talks with you, but she’s cheerful with the others. Maybe she would just like some acknowledgement.
On your left, on the other hand, stand the people you do not like: sir Wake Me Up Inside, the crossdresser and the catgirl.
The latter had somewhat regained her composure after the accident of yesterday, but still looked positively pissed.
“How could you low-lives possibly mistake me, the princess of the Anthros, with a good-for-nothing bawd? I consider myself offended!”, she loudly proclaimed upon your return.
Your attempts to explain her that she looked wasted were mostly in vain. You also incidentally learned that she destroyed the trap’s furniture. ‘Serves him right for looking for trouble’, you thought.
And right in front of you, the people you were still on the fence about: the silent knight you met the day before and the Rotten Magical Girl.
“Well done, Outer. You’re not as useless I thought you’d be”, she said as soon as she came in. She was never one to mince words, but you expected at the very least some recognition.
>>46732147
And so there you were, throwing an improptu celebration for the success of yesterday.
Naturally neither you nor the Warrior had the strength to lift a finger on that same day, so you decided to postpone the revelry. And now, as the Warrior is helping himself to another beer, could be the chance to getting to learn more about your companions.

![Age of strife [Terra].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/3AMLkQu.jpg "Age of strife [Terra].jpg")
Sup /tg/ I have been toying around with the idea of using the age of strife era as a setting for a game in the near future. And I am planning on using the rules and stuff from the Darh Heresy 2nd edition rule book.
What do you guys feel about this idea?
Also some stuff i'm having trouble with
>Changing the homeworld rules/using only one homeworld type, etc
>should some classes and skills be of limits
>Should I add/remove any weapons and gear
>>46731305
Another thing to add would be that I plan the players to be a band of mercs doing various stuff for diffrent employers around the globe
>>46731305
What's Age of Strife?
>>46731305
>>Should I add/remove any weapons and gear
More weapons that would be considered rare in 40k. Exotic beam weaponry left over from the fall.
Fewer and/or weaker bolter weapons since iirc the current ones were developed more during the Great Crusade to equip space marines more easily.
What do you think of this quest and party idea?
two empires are at war, a secret diplomatic party is sent across the border for negotiations. The unit is suspiciously under-manned, and the ambassador sent is the King's youngest and least-favorite kid.
There is:
>the prince (or princess, undecided)
>mission captain (older, rough woman)
>three knights (one silent-type, one jovial bro type, one older veteran)
>a translator (beautiful woman)
>a scout/wilderness guide (local teenage girl)
>the combined chef/mechanic/herbalist (bearded bear of a good man)
The plot twists:
>The King assumes the mission will fail and wants to use the inevitable death of his kid as an excuse for all-out war
>the empire that the main cast is from is "the bad side"
>each party member specifically volunteered for this mission for personal reasons
>it turns out those reasons all involve escape/deserting/running away
>not a single one of them was planning to fulfill the mission or return to their empire
>>46731154
Some worldbuilding to do, but mostly I want it to be about the party members fighting, bonding, and deciding to become a new rogue "family" that leaves both empires together to flee the war. IDK it should end with them all peacefully living on a farm together, far away.
>>46731154
I really like it. Don't have a lot to say about it, it's perfect IMO.
>>46731234
wow, thanks
question- do you think it'd be better in a more traditional empire setting, or a more fantasy-like world?
>In this universe, Mexico is the world superpower.
>>46731140
>Narcoverse
>not including Texas, California etc as part of Mexico

Explain
The prince has died of disease. The king's older daughter is married to the duke, who is popular among the nobility and unpopular among the peasants and clergy. The king suspects the Duke would make a terrible king, however, and only gave him his daughter to avoid a political catastrophe. The king's younger daughter is unmarried. She's kinder than her sister, but probably less clever. Who does he declare will be his successor and how does he avert a civil war after his own death?
>>46730939
easy; he marries his unmarried daughter and gets a real successor
The one who shall slay the dragon is allowed to marry my younger daughter and will be king.
