OK tg, I need your help, your my only hope. I suck really really hard at warhammer 40k and I have no idea how to get better. I've lost every single game I've ever played to my friend and i've only ever once gotten close to tying with him.

This is especially sad because I'm a necron player and he is a chaos/tyranid player. I should be roflstomping with my op army (I don't play them because they're op I play them because I like the theme)

My army compositions usually consists of
-A ghost arc with 10 warriors
-10 warriors
-10 tesla immortals
-an overlord with rez orb
-imotek
-5 lychguard with shields
-ctan nightbringer
-doomscyth/nightscythe depending on how i feel

stuff I change in and out depending
-a triarch stalker
- a spyder with 5 scarabs
- 3 tomb blades
- monolith

my friend usually uses lots of carnifexes with mortars, lots of termagants, flyrants and hormagaunts

and for his chaos he uses typhus, two squads of chaos terminators usually used with power fists. two rhinos, a heldrake, a squad of 8 bikes with mark of nurgle, chaos havoc squads with lascannons, and lots of zombies

The heldrake usually just rampages around destroying all my warriors, the bikes ride up to my ghost ark and punch it to death and there is nothing I can do because I can't kill them. His lascannons usually destroy all my stuff from afar and I can never hold any objectives. HIs terminators deepstrike and rek my immortals and my scarabs and spyder usually die in turn 1 or 2. I can't kill the bikes no matter how much I shoot them (I try to light those fuckers up but nothing works). He's also going to be getting warp talons soon.

I know I need to just get good, and it's hard to describe exactly the strategies that I'm using to you guys so you can accurately pinpoint what I"m doing wrong, but I need some tips.

1. If your friend beats you every time, and hasnt tried to help you out himself - he's probably the type of player that cheats.

2. Stop playing with him. Find somewhere to play.

Pick one.

>>46482244
Yes.

Because I like creating a variety of characters. I also play male characters, reptilian characters, alien characters, old characters, young characters, martials, casters, rogues (I really suck at priest though), asexual, bisexual, hetero and homosexual characters, masochist, sadists, crazy, sane, modern, fantasy, science fiction, modern fantasy, gothic horror, etc. etc.

I create characters I enjoy playing. It just so happens that some are female. If you can't cope with this, get the fuck out.

Quick! You have 10 seconds to come up with an original concept or idea that adds a major twist to the conventional high fantasy setting.
GO!

If the Crimson Slaughter supplement allows us to mix and match artifacts, I could run my TS CAD as CS to give my Sorc the Balestar of Mannon for Divination while keeping my DP's Black Mace.

That'd be pretty baller. Might make his Terminator deepstrike retinue a bit more worthwhile, being bodyguards. Not that divination is any good though, at least not in that context.

Define "behave like assholes".

Sounds alright on paper. Questions:
1) >>46480773
2) What's a demon in this setting?
3) Why haven't demons turned everybody into assholes yet? Logically it should be a virtuous circle for them.

this. do bandits turn into assholes? is it an incrimental process? like, if you hold up enough families at bowpoint, do you gain warlock powers?

I was reading this article yesterday about how if Donald Trump had just taken his initial $40 million share he inherited from his dad and put it into an index fund instead of becoming a "real estate tycoon", he would have been more wealthy today than he currently is. It got me thinking about something I read in Transhuman Space about how the plutocrats with longevity treatment reached and passed a point where "mere mortals" couldn't catch up with them, because their enormous wealths were earning profit/interest at rates that people who didn't already have a century+ of accruing money.

This seems like it could be a good plot point for a near-future RPG. Not necessarily the BBEG, but some kind of group that's either attempting to change this, or to take advantage of it. Maybe I've just been reading too much Charles Stross fiction about slow dollars, but I thought it could be neat. What do you guys think?

Fa/tg/uys,

you have one minute to tell me a setting (historic time period, fantasy world or anything else) you'd love to run a campaign in and what you'd have your PCs do.

I always wanted to run a game set in early 18th century New France. The plan was that the party would be a company of French furriers, with the first few games seeming like a historical rpg - hunting, trading, trying not to catch TB.

After normalcy was established I was going to have the owner of the company disappear, only to reveal he had been taken by the devil after selling his soul for a flying canoe. The party would be on the hook for the debt too, unless they can out compete an English furrier company (secretly werewolves).

TL:DR 17th century wilderness exploration and trading game that breaks out in french canadian/woodland indian myths.

>I told Professor Rojas of the U.S. Project Plowshare and the nuclear explosions in southern Argentina in May 1960. He was suddenly very sad. He asked me to send him the documents. I would like to do this.

>In Puerto Deseado no emergency measures were takes. Nobody informed the police, hospitals and the population. The former railway worker Urban still believes only that a U.S. chemical company wanted to invest in 1960 in the region and was doing some strange things.

>In the end of the year (1960, after the completion of construction work in the bay), the company disappeared from one day to the next.

>The official report of the U.S. Department of Energy on Plowshare lists the underground tests from 1961 on. According to this report, no nuclear test took place in 1960. However, in November 1960, AEC increased to 200 kilotons from the original 100 kilotons scheduled previously in May for the Chariot tests. The report does not mention on what new findings this decision was based.

>Earthquakes of this magnitude cannot be induced artificially. This is very clear today. But whether they can be triggered by underground explosions - as a last drop that brings the barrel to overflow...

So far, so bad. Now, why did DG have to nuke the ground in Souther Chile precisely at the most inopportune moment in history imaginable, and why did it not just set off an earthquake + tsunami across the continent, but the single biggest quake ever measured?
