I don't get behind the naming of the tyranids.
I mean, I know GW's IoM uses an own version of latin and invents new words and so on. But tyranids don't make any sense at all to me.
Carnifex. Carni for meat/flesh (understandable) and fex for "producer" or "maker"?
I understand it sounds nice, but how is a Carnifex meant to "produce" meat and not eating/absorbing it? (-trophe)
Zoanthropes/Venomthropes.
Anthropos, like, "human"? What? Doesn't make any sense at all to me.
Weirdly,...

Because Latin and Gothic are not the same language
Carnifex= The executioner
in latin

>Carnifex.
Butcher. As in this beastie will butcher people.
>Zoanthropes
From Zoanthropy, a madness where people believe they are animals. Weaker connection, but basically because they're crazy psychic animals.
>Venomthropes
Later day Tyranid unit with no thought behind it besides it shares a look with the Zoanthorpe but is poisonous.

>Best setting?
I like Eberron a lot, though I haven't gotten to play in it long-term at all.
>>46099277
what a cool image
>>46099277
I like the Realms, to be honest. I understand that a lot of people don't, and I understand that I don't care.

The Pure are still terrible enemies of the Forsaken. Just cuz there's a few settings where there's a truce doesn't mean the two factions are buddy-buddy by any stretch.The Forsaken in Bristol are trapped in the city by the Pure, and anyone who leaves gets murdered outright.
Not to mention they are, if nothing else, a source of Sacred Prey for the Blood Talons that relatively few werewolves are going to raise a stink about.
>>46099407
I suppose that at some point both groups are going to have to contend with Lycaon-Ur, this will not end well for anybody.
What are some good sourcebooks on dragons? Preferably exclusively draconian, not just generic bestairies that cover a wide variety of monsters.
>>46098993
Assuming 3.5e, the Draconomicon.
>>46099021
Any system.
>>46099065
Draconomicon is pretty sweet. It is the only rulebook I kept when I realized I would never play 3.5 again, because the fluff and the art is so good.
Worth grabbing.
Other than that I would look at non-gaming literature as well. There are some really good "guidebook" style books out intended for kids/teens with beautiful art.
Swing by your local bookstore and take a look!

Yeah, although it will take a lot of time and some tools. You can actually find most of the wiring, motors, etc. you need inside a couple of old busted VCRs; the controller, the heating element, and the software are the "hard" parts, and you can still scavenge or buy those much more cheaply than the Best Buy kit. Just be prepared to put a couple...
