WAAAAAGH!!!

A lot of little teasers, and everything is pretty good. Theres a reason to not take the power claw now, as it most definitely will be getting a -1 to hit. Choppas granting bonus attacks keeps boyz at the same attack value which is good. Taking saves against basic guns doesnt seem like much but its incredible. Morale being based on your unit size is great for a change to mob rule. Even if the warboss krumps a couple goons in place of 10-20.

Meganobs will be amazing (if a little slow) 2+ armor with 3 wounds at T4 is more than you can ever ask for.

Lastly, the removal of the initiative stat and WS is paramount to success for orks, who suffered at I2 and relatively poor WS. Now youre guaranteed to be hitting on 4's with boyz minimum, and at least 3's everywhere else.

Thats not even counting your vehicle weapons like deff rollas, wrecking balls, killa kan and deff dred killsaws, etc.

Its all looking up for orks. Only thing holding you back could be movement 5", but thats to be expected.

>>53435511
Orks stack on Orks stack on Orks now. Their gambit is basically playing the bonus stacking game in order to overwhelm their opponents.

This is... actually pretty accurate. All these bonuses are basically a WAAAGH! Fucking with local physics in their favor.

But will they be able to approach in melee?!

the Khan would be quietly amused, but advise extreme caution when deploying them alongside traditional marines.

Ferrus would probably evaluate them by watching them in combat, then systematically employing them where they can do the most damage to the enemy while keeping records about their mutability.

Dorn would offended Guilliman would try to improve on the Emperor's design.

Corvax would probably keep his own counsel, but if pushed, think its a huge mistake and want nothing to do with it.

Vulkan would just nod and do his duty, evaluating them on their performance before giving his opinion one way or the other.

and I don't care about the rest.

Alfie: I can disguise myself as a member of any legion now.

Okay, I searched around google and found nothing, what the fuck is Nails In Your Brain personality disorder?

How I like it, likened to a typical fantasy world

Planetary System= civilized lands.

Planet=city. You can zoom in on them and have adventure hooks, or just use em as pit stops.

Galaxy= the world. Getting to the other side is a big deal.

Interstellar space= wilderness/Ocean
Intergalactic space=

>>53434860
I'd keep it out of the solar system just so you can exert rule 0 with less whining about what is and is not currently true of the real sol system (or maybe you have better players than I do and this isn't a concern)

I think a single system strikes some players as a little disappointing, but if you're keeping it grounded with no ayyliens and so on, it can be a really solid choice- you can flesh out stuff a lot more.

I feel my knowledge of solar astronomy is passable, as in I can tell my Orcus from my Haumea. Also, it's fairly easy to look stuff up, and on top of that I can just let my players know that I'll be applying a bit of artistic license.
The bigger problem with running Sol is that I'm aiming for a Traveller/Firefly free-trader campaign, and I feel having one system with one (maybe two if you handwave Mars' terraforming) makes centralisation easier. Even if Earth, Mars, and Titan are equal powers (say), there's still less cracks for the players to work in.
Especially seeing as you literally can't hide your position. Though I guess you can hide your identity

>>53434980
I get what you're saying, but the problem with that is that interstellar space is fuckheug. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to interstellar space.
Maybe a better analogy is that the habitable world/worlds are City-States, the inner system is the lands that feed the cities, with asteroid-mining and all that, and the out-system is the badlands where brigands and worse lurk. Systems without habitable worlds are entirely wilderness, so better hope the patrols are regular

>>53434669
Then put them on the rails. Most groups like it anyways, you just hide he tracks.

>>53434669

it's probably vidya. most newbies are coming straight out of fallout or some shit so they are used to having everything done for them.

>>53434669

My experience is the vast overwhelming majority of people who play and are under 30 can't or won't muster their imaginations. 30-45 is about a 50/50 shot, over 45 the odds go way up, if they played when they were younger.

Bydo are like chaos, in that even thinking about Bydo can change you into Bydo. It'd be pretty shitty win or lose. Plus Bydo can't really be wiped out due to time travel.

>What if this literally superhuman pyschic ubermensch who conquered a whole world on his own landed in the land of the dummy retards

Gee op, I don't fucking know

Could.it be that he seizes power and establishes a global dynasty that united all the world's people's under his benign and absolute rule until the Emperor finds him?

You know, like on the ORIGINAL fucking planet he landed on?

Commanders that do things from the command zone were a mistake. As we're ones that benefit from their tax, like Prossh.

I'm sad O-Kagachi is so shitty. I just wanted a synergistic 5 color Spirit Commander. Instead I got a shitty Krond.

I really hate to have two decks that are the same tribe, but I also don't want to take apart Intet.

What am I to do?

It wasn't your fault, anon

you can't control the actions of others in real life. They aren't NPC's.

I let a friend play when he was clearly the group's That Guy. He stayed for ten sessions before I wised up and told him to fuck off.

>>53431921
If the only reason that she was staying with the first guy was because she wasn't meeting other guys, I don't think their relationship was long for this world.

Also had she met the other guy outside of your game, you'd have two players that were fighting anyway.

Elves are what happens when you select only the best of the best from lesser races and breed them for thousands of years to propagate only the finest attributes. Elves are quite literally the master race.

Thanks!

The reference is to the Mechanicum Stormbird that anon is going to build using a toy whale. He's been talking about it for ages but it looks like it's getting close to happening.

This is kind of the theory behind Avatars in Unknown Armies, although rather than attention paid to individuals it's more about resonating with an archetype that the whole world knows and believes in.

I used it in a game blending the two where one character, a genius idol singer, managed to figure out what was happening and through manipulating my bullshit metaphysics managed to supplant the archetype she was channelling from the collective unconscious with herself, essentially becoming an immortal goddess within the collective mind of humanity. It was a pretty neat way for things to end.

The old Adventure! game from white wolf had some pretty nice super science mechanics if I'm remembering correctly. I think Aberrant, the super hero game that came out before it, had something similar as well.

Basic thoughts about the end of the Great Crusade and the beginning of the Heresy period.

>Ullanor Crusade is declared by the emperor to counter the significant threat posed by the ork hordes led by Urlakk Urg.
>For the first time in the history of the Imperium, the three Warmasters are called upon to work as one and put an end to the alien threat.
>They don't work very well together, likely ending up with the loyalist Warmaster being pushed into a support role by his allies, the separatist Warmaster leading the majority of the troops in the primary assault and the traitor Warmaster handling the attack on Urlakk Urg himself, with the Emperor at his side.
>The egos of not just the Warmasters but the other Primarchs in attendance clash, leading to instances of miscommunication, friendly fire and ultimately the incapacitation of the Emperor, who is returned to Terra for the purpose of recovery.
>The Warmasters turn on each other, each placing blame on one another for the outcome, with the Separatist Warmaster (probably the one who is most in the wrong) eventually deciding to succeed the Emperor and turning a war of words and accusations into something far more physical and deadly.

>>53427490
What does Malcador do?

I think the big question for factions is why each Primarch decides as they do, as well as what each faction is meant to be.

>Imperials
I'm thinking they use the Ecclesiarchy in a major way, with Yochin as their propagandist. They espouse a monolithic state run as the crusade Imperium was, earning them munitorum support.

>RevSeps
They hold to the Imperial Truth or things that are close enough. Politically they follow the theory of Gyahdred and the implementation of Gregoire of smaller astartes run zones on the supposition that the size and scale of the Imperium results in inefficiency. Gyahdred was speaking of the purges of the Death's Heads, but it seems fate is not without a sense of irony. This local approach wins them the support of the planetary elites.

>chaos
Chaos is chaos. Marduk wants a dark empire.

>Politically, Moritarion, The Khan, and G-Man would have been Revs.

I just hope neither of them won't die and we get to see them come to a realization that they were both a bit shit and that they could do better from here on.

In OotS it's all too common, after all, for them to go completely to the deep end and try to kill someone in rage and end up being themselves cut down. Gets boring after a few.

I really want some characters to fucking permadeath in this comic. Goddamn it I really hope Haley gets permadeath before the end of OOTS. This webcomic has really gone to shit, and a permadeath is really the only way to save it. Haley dying and watching Elan's misery would make me happier than anything else in my life in terms of fiction. These retarded-ass webcomics are far too happy, it is far too unlike real life and their very existence fills me with fury.

Guns are expensive. Peasants won't have them.

>>53425272
How you justify the existence of special forces in our world? Why not just have peasants with guns instead?

Wizards have guns too. Stronger ones with magic attachments
