So /tg/, what is your opinion on the new Space Marine model?
>>46715261
Looks cool but it's overpriced and I can live without it.
>>46715261
I don't get it. They're selling a single plastic figure for $65? And... a book that comes with it?
That's it? Am I getting this right?
>>46715520
no, they sell it separately for $30. it's a very detailed model, with special rules included in box for the weapons. It doesn't have anything to do with the new supplement, they just sold them together as well.
So according to the 40K backstory, the Emperor was born in 8000 BC or whatever and lived disguised as various humans throughout history until revealing himself directly in about 30,000 AD.
WHICH MEANS HE IS ALIVE RIGHT NOW ON EARTH IN 2016
So surely he would be aware of the game Warhammer 40K and probably has played it a few times. What army would he play? Would people regognise him at the GW store?
More importantly, wouldn't he just read the backstory to 40K and use it to not make the same mistakes - e.g. knowing in advance who will betray him, trusting...

He'd play the Emperor's Finest, the Space Smurfs.
ITT: Strategies and Tactics to improve chess play
My latest move I am sharing is what I call the "look away gambit". Basically I noticed that many of the pieces have "faces" on them (e.g. the horse and bishop).
Imagine that the board pictured is a real game with physical pieces. White (myself) is sneaking the horse towards the enemy king - I can take him in only two moves. However I have to stop black from seeing this coming.
The solution is to point the horse model so it is "looking" in a different direction. This will distract...

There's no way that knight won you the game in two moves, stop lying bro

>He takes a potato chip
>and points it the other direction!!!!
>>46713102
Thats what black thought! :D
But seriously actually if you look closely you can see the hose can get to the king in two jumps. I got the idea from one of Garry Casperoff's games.
Also, would reading Sun Tsu's "The Art of War" improve my chess game?
Str vs Dex comes up a lot but what about Str vs Cha?

why?

Strength is a dump stat to you?
Do you play exclusively rogues?

Rogues need strength too. How else are you going to carry that giant bag of loot.
You are Kittrane, demon soulborn, school badgirl, and right now you're having the time of your life!
This dungeoning thing is starting to get fun: together you and Phoebe just took down some fake city guards and for a moment everything between you was perfect...alas the moment didn't last long enough and reality intruded.
Still, you now have something else fun to do. The struggling Inky wizard Thaddeus is slung over your shoulder. You'll seen have a new, albeit temporary team-mate alongside Phoebe, Cleya and Evrumine.

could I get some encouragement or something I'm really not sure what to do after this
I'm sorry anon, that is terrible, but i don't know if its worth giving up on role-playing entirely for. I mean you played this campaign for a year and half, didn't you enjoy it? did you not derive enjoyment from each session? for me personally it's true i want to see an epic conclusion, but the journey is worth a lot to me too. i love matching wits with the dm and trying to find my way out of his latest death trap, or trying to get myself out of a clusterfuck after a few bad rolls. I love banter with the rest of the party. I love developing my character and...

did everyone show up? DMs sometimes misjudge the party.
I've only ever watched one TPK, and I was a very new DM and also an inexperienced player and also that session was messed up for extraneous reasons.
It's frustrating, but you're actually there for the group, not the imaginary world. I'd go back -- actually, I'd press for some variant of 'load from save' maybe a different set of tactics would win -- or maybe the DM understands where he over-powerd you and can ratchet it back a notch.
Sometimes you lose. But, as the...

Come on, Necropotence is legal in this format.
You are Tsukuda Ryouta, the 12th Division's investigator of abnormal occurrences.
You were allowed to take another break after your latest mission. This off-duty time is meant for recuperation. You won't be receiving any further assignments until you've fully recovered.
Before you go home, you buy something that can be had over tea. You've usually brought souvenirs from the Human World before, so suddenly appearing empty-handed might be inappropriate.
When you come back home, your mother meets you and hastily ushers you in, a bright smile on her face. Her smooth black hair flows down the back of her blue, flower-embroidered kimono. It's a more formal outfit than usual.
"Miyu-chan and I decided to take a bit of a walk. We just came back." She explains her uncharacteristically kempt appearance. "Having to dress up and act like a proper lady is really stifling. I haven't had to do that in so long... I just can't go out in these parts in what I usually wear at home, you know?" Shiori finishes her complaints with a sighs. As you enter the living room, you find the white haired, golden eyed Miyu to be sitting at the table wearing a smaller version of Shiori's outfit. Your mother twirls around, still holding your hand, and looks at you with concern. "Are you alright? You look tired. Hard day at work?"
"I'm fine." You say. She puts the back of her hand on your forehead but after finding no fever, she takes it away. Her brown eyes glance at the bag in your hand. She smiles again.
"So what did you bring for us today, Ryouta?"
"Honey cake."
"Great! You know what, let's have it right now. I'll go make some tea. Take a seat, I'll be back shortly." Shiori walks away, leaving you with Miyu. Her golden eyes have been looking your way ever since you've entered the room. It's only after you've finished your conversation with Shiori that she decides to speak up. Her voice, while undeniably that of a young girl's, is as dull and emotionless as always.
>>46710133
"Welcome home, ONII-CHAN..." Just as she always does, Miyu awkwardly emphasizes the end of her sentences.
"Hello, Miyu. Have you been well?" You ask. The girl silently nods. You sit down next to her and unpack the dessert onto the table; Miyu keeps her golden eyes on you throughout the process. "Is something wrong?"
Before answering, the girl takes a moment to ponder over the question. "I'm not sure..." Her vague thought seems to have concluded abruptly, as the forced ending was absent. She speaks up again after another pause. "I'm not sure why you're asking ME."
There is something scrutinizing in those childish eyes of hers. When you don't respond to her, the girl tilts her head, as if she's trying to find the minute detail she's not seeing from another angle.
"Onii-chan..." Miyu begins in her regular monotone. "Have you been WELL? Is something WRONG...?"
There should be a little time to talk about something before your mother returns. Of course, it isn't necessary.
...
>"I'm fine. I'm just tired from my previous mission. It will probably pass."
>"I was hurt on my previous mission. Let's keep it a secret from mother."
>"Do you know how you came to be, Miyu? Would you like to know?"
>Other. (Write-in).

You lie awake in the middle of the night. The dark and silent atmosphere of your bed chamber stands in contrast to the loud, chaotic turmoil in your head. With Vanessa gone, and once turned against you, the potential loss of a child, and the death of one of your most powerful underlings, not to mention the assimilation of an entire country into your territory, you have too much running through your mind to rest peacefully. After several hours of pointless stillness and quiet, you grow too tense to remain in bed, and sit up. You pull on your dressing gown and pop on your slippers....

So assassins attacked the group, my character tackled one out a window and together landed in a river outside and got washed a ways down, actually outside the city.
He's now separated from the group by a good amount, but has the assassin pretty well subdued. I'm wondering what I should do with her, since I'm not really sure where to find the group and even if I did it would take a good while to meet up with them again. All the while whatever I choose to do, I've got a dangerous enemy as a prisoner for as long as I can hold onto her, no rope but strong...

Chances are, she probably wants to reunite with her group as well, so I'd personally offer her a temporary ceasefire until you guys are able to find your pals.
Alternatively, try to figure out how much she was going to get paid and try to outbid her boss.
>>46709111
The problem I think is she can't exactly go to the big guy at the top without success, so wants to get away in order to try to kill or capture us again. The other assassins were strangers so it's not as easy as just meeting up with her buddies again. As for compensation she's not really being paid for it, it's an effort to clear out the city of possible dangers to the big guy's hostile takeover, and an effort to be noticed by him in the hopes of being properly employed or something to that...

The first tank (in image) is the regular battle tank. Its smaller and somewhat "weaker" compared to the other two tanks. But this tank is quicker than the other two tanks in this boss fight and to make up for being "weaker" than the two tanks. It's more aggressive, acting as a vanguard and it'll harry and harass teammates to distract them while the other two tanks will take shots at them who're distracted. This tank will also attempt to ram party members who get too close, which can hurt alot.
Second Tank: http://destiny.gamepedia.com/Goliath_Tank
The second tank is a "Heavy Assault" tank, it's got powerful weapons; a main gun which can potentially one-shot-kill, numerous secondary machine guns to any enemy that gets to close. It even has long range attacks such as guided rockets and missiles, which it'll use to forcefully flush anyone out of cover and hiding spots. But, this heavy tank is much slower and less agile. And although it attacks are powerful, its attacks are telegraphed and can be fairly predictable, but again its attacks are high damage and can potentially one-shot-kill anyone who's not careful.
And the third tank: http://karanak.deviantart.com/art/Octopus-331333863
Is a special multi-role hover-tank. This tank has the best of both the other tanks; quick and agile and sophisticated weaponry. This tank is also the smartest it will take advantage of the environment, work alongside the other tanks in taking down a party member. And will make full use of all it's weapons and assets, for example; if a player is hiding behind cover or is in a "Cheesing Spot", it will use its guided missile/rockets weaponry to force that Guy out of that cheesing spot. It will deploy smokescreens to obscure enemy vision, it also has trophy systems to deflect projectiles and would even shoot at stuff you're throwing at it. Basically, this hover-tank is has to be the most difficult to fight.
So how would this boss fight scenario play out?
So will things play out?
>>46707163
If you do the calculations for the energy-on-impact of weapons that can actually damage tanks from the past half a decade, virtually no Wizard spell beyond really high level ones and those that actively ignore physical protection will do much damage unless they strike at more vulnerable areas. If the party doesn't know the tank's weaknesses and the battle begins at range (assuming the vehicle possesses its standard armaments), virtually any party from most settings will be swiftly annihilated, unless we're...

I also would like to add that the range difference between any spell even the most powerful and a MBT gun is too big, modern tanks can snipe moving targets from 5km away without any trouble.
I can already immagine action packed and high-octane scenes where the party of spellcasters fighting those tanks are struggling and panicking how to destroy those tanks and that all the magical attacks they throw at the tanks are seemingly useless and keep on being absorbed or deflected by the tank's armor.
Meanwhile the tank commanders bark orders at the tank crew to "ADVANCE!" or "ENEMY AT NORTHWEST, GUNNER, FIRE MAINGUN!" or "ENEMY IS AT CLOSE DISTANCE! DRIVER, RUN HIM DOWN! RUN HIM DOWN!!!"
Also figured this would fit well...

In the circle, what are the purpose of these protruding looking cannons? My only thought would be for orbital bombardment.
To keep it from tipping over.

Why are Paladins flat out immune to fear? Isn't it kinda inhuman to not have such a key emotion?
Bravery is getting shit done despite being scared.

I would say being immune to the fear condition is different from being immune emotion of fear
What do they have to fear with their god at their back?
>>46710376
Either because they're total fanatics or because they actually do feel fear, they're just taught or have the power not to let it hamper them
