for you or games workshop?
After a year of humming and hawing about getting into Horus Heresy and back into 40k, I've finally decided to strip and hack apart my decade-old guardsmen and re-purpose them as an Imperialis Militia & Cults allied detachment for a WB list.
I've already got Simple Green in my shopping list, but what's the best tool for cutting off limbs/heads/etc? I remember dousing those cunts in plastic glue when I was younger, so what's the most efficient option for doing it besides breaking out the hacksaw?
Also, how good is Simple Green for getting...

I tried Simple Green, but it didn't work well for me even with a 36 hour soak.
I ended up using Lemon Pine-Sol which stripped both a botched paint job and shitty glued-on sand with the added bonus of beautiful pine-scented Necrons.
I suggest expiriementing with different chemicals before dunking your entire army, find out what works best for you.
>>46291767
Thanks, I'll check out Lemon Pine-Sol and see how the two compare.
Is there an upper limit to how many times you can dunk an army to strip? I remember reading that Simple Green works best after two soaks.
I can understand shit like brake fluid turning your minis into soup, but can something like Simple Green or Pine-Sol do that too if applied over-enthusiastically?

FAAAKE!
Also, Castrol Super Clean is an engine degreaser which works wonderfully at stripping resins, metals and plastics. For disassembly, freeze and pull apart - even epoxy bonds surrender to this technique. If it's plastic parts bonded with plastic cement though, you're fucked. Xacto sells tiny saw blades for their hobby knives. Other than that, I did try the freezy-twist using needle-nosed pliers [padded...

None of us know the rites to don it anyway so who cares?

That the breastplates are rather literate about it is the least problem here.

You also find a group of mindless servitors well versed in the rites of doning, maitence, and are also ,luckily enough, controlled by your groups tech priests
You're now tasked with making a new character based on the Jesus-archetype. Race does not matter but you have to use theses:
>Be raised by a single mother (Or father)
>Showed qualities of a leader as a child
>Gather a group of followers
>Challenge the current system of beliefs/government
>Be betrayed by his most trusted friend
>Endure long days of torture
>"Die"...

Also, Judas was not his most trusted friend. Now, if you mean being denied by Peter (one of the three most important disciples), then that could be reasoned.
If Unknown Armies had a school of magic based on dank memes what kind of powers would it have?
Unknown Armies magic schools are built around a fundamental paradox, an innate contradiction which warps the users perception. If you actually wanted to do this, the first stage would be nailing down that innate contradiction.
Is it the strange temporal nature of memes? That new ones arise all the time seemingly from nowhere, and yet the old ones continue to spread and be repeated long after their relevance has faded?
Is it the curiosity of individual creativity being taken by vast anonymous masses, who create a culture of shared ownership and yet become outraged...

None.
>>46289187
Hmm.. maybe this: memes are made to be original and subversive but a successful meme is by nature repeated endlessly by others until there is nothing novel about it and it becomes utterly mundane. Memes are made to be inside jokes but once a meme grows popular enough then it is no longer an inside joke.

Why are there no prehistoric settings?
>>46289123
Because no one has written them.
:^)
>>46289123
Because the typical nerd doesn't know enough about neolithic cultures and tech (read: anything at all, because Tolkien never wrote a book about them) to feel confident trying to kickstart a (magic-, if applicable)industrial revolution in the setting.
And if it's not possible to do that, nerds aren't interested in your setting period.

You stayed the night, just as you promised you would.
In retrospect, maybe it wasn't such a good idea. It's hard to deny that you enjoyed the time spent in Howa's company – just as it would be hard to deny that she enjoyed it equally well – but you know enough about life to know when something...

“Ira?” Howa's voice, soft and blurry with sleep, gently stirs the night air. There is the whisper of sheets as she rolls over, no doubt searching the other half of her bed for you. A fruitless search, of course – you've been sitting a distance away for some time, haunted by a lack of sleep and a surplus of uncertainty.
Was this a mistake, you ask yourself softly, a moment of weakness? On the road, a soft heart can be more of a vulnerability than a strength. Where you're going, you...

Hi /tg/ some of you may or may not remember that a few months back there where a space station quest set in the 40k universe. Well im back, and hopefully we can have some fun. So let's begin shall we:
You are the governor of the newly built space station "Dawn Station". It is currently approximately only 1½ kilometer size, but has room to grow even further. Dawn station is also the home to 100.000 emperor worshipping souls.
>50.000 of them are regular civilians. Each thousand of them will manufacture 1 supply each turn. So...

Magnus referred to it as a catch-all for Chaos (which he was strangely unaware of). He dove deep into the Warp to try to gain knowledge, and routinely interacted with Tzeentch (whom Magnus believed was some Warp-spirit).
The Interex also thought of Chaos as a omni-direcitonal force of destruction.
Again, the fluff is highly inconsistent and doesn't explain jack shit. Go figure.

Experiment Logs
=Log 1=
Date 0: I've finally managed to get this new Material Plane stable. I could have just thrown up a standard version, but I wanted to incorporate some additional features. For instance, I can control how fast time passes relative to existence as a whole. I've got an alarm set up to inform me if life develops anywhere (not likely without active interference). Most important are a series of wards to keep interlopers out. I'm currently speeding up time by several trillion times, and waiting for something interesting to show up.
Log 2
Date 11,342,051,099: Surprisingly, the experiment is forming into orderly structures even without my assistance. Not only on the large scale of galaxies and stars, but on the small scale of chemicals. I've noted some really quite complex collections of chemicals that are capable of self-replication and chemical synthesis. This experiment looks to be getting really interesting.

=Log 3=
Date 13,541,555,892: It's amazing how far life has developed from those first basic packages of proteins and genetic material. There are practically uncountable varieties of lifeforms now, and I didn't do a single thing to stimulate this! They adapted and diverged entirely on their own, completely shattering the old dogma that true life must be created by a god. Even if they can't get any use out of them due to magic not being active in this test world, these lifeforms are indeed developing basic rudimentary souls. I wonder if I may soon see a civilization arise?
=Log 4=
Date 13,698,901,234: There was another mass-extinction event a few dozen million years ago, but I'm not too upset given the most recent developments. Several intelligent species have sprung up, including Pattern 1 (Elves), Pattern 4 (Dwarves), Pattern 5 (Humans), and Pattern 7 (Orcs). They've already begun the process of creating civilizations, though Pattern 1 isn't doing as well as they normally would without magic. I will admit to being somewhat surprised at how well these races match up with those outside, but it could just be an anomaly.

=Log 5=
Date 13,698,908,990: NO NO NO! I should have known something was up when those 'standard' lifeforms began appearing, but I was too absorbed in the experiment to check for outside interference. Those blasted greedy pantheons just HAD to seize the opportunity to get a new worshiper base, and their actions have contaminated the experiment beyond all hope of salvage! It wasn't their own faiths that were the problem, no it was that they helped draw the attention of something else entirely.

Let's make a setting, /tg/.
Posts ending in an even number are the only ones counted for the time being.
>>46290836
The Empire is in its prime, widely supported by the imperial population and predominantly expanding into a dangerous borderland full of monsters and belligerent tribals.
>>46290836
Indistinguishable from a modern day Japanese suburb.

The Empire is taking back Earth after a magical apocalypse left most of it a monster-filled wilderness strewn with ruins.

From what I hear, gameplay is kind of fucky, but it seems to have a neat aesthetic and story going for it, with a lot of fun that can be had.
