Hey, now we can play Tau in campaigns that aren't set near them without it feeling weird.

*Blocks your expansion*

>>53227765
actually this makes sense, now you have mor fluff reasons to include tau in other scenarios than just damocles and the occasional waaagh or splinter fleet.

Because of furfaggots

Furfags mostly.

Or no. Entirely because of furfags

A) who the fuck plays on a 3x3 table? That's asking to be immediately in range of kurnoth hunters, which are sylvaneths strongest unit
B) SCE are strong, when used right. Don't go in having no idea how they work, get your ass kicked and then just assume they are terrible. One of their biggest strengths is their allegiance abilities and relics. Their army wide ability allows you to deep strike your entire fucking army and not just wait a turn for your opponent to snipe you with arrows on a 3' board.
C) battalions are also good. Some get you really fucking close to your opponent to make him sweat, like the hammerstrike force, or are very completive, like the aetherstrike force.

There is a lot more than meets the eye with AoS. It's not just deploy 2 armies and clash in the middle.

Also this should go in the age of sigmar general. You are likely going to get a lot of trolling outside of it.

>>53227588
3x3 was all they had at FLGS, AND I don't mind trolling.

Getting close to the enemy does you no good if the're all in forests/woods and you lose 15% of your multi-wound models on the charge.

Add in their ability to teleport around the battlefield and constantly regen, and you have a force that's hard to crack the spine of.

If it's fantasy? Handwave it away and go by rule of cool. If you want realism then it's either blimps and other light materials, or flat out having to use shittons of fuel to keep the engines up so they can move slowly and not fall, or some kinda tech to allow them to ignore gravity without being aerodynamic and moving fast.

>>53226839

I already got the handwaving bit done, world's a bit more radioactive than ours in the right ways so as to make helium abundant. I'm trying to figure out how I should design the ships, and I can't decide on an engine design.

Mostly, I don't want to place them out to the sides like zeppelins traditionally have, but I still want the thing to look atleast remotely capable of actually being able to fly. I want it this way because of the dieselpunk nature of the setting.

>>53226921

Then ya can just go for some thrusters on the bottom and sides. Maybe big or small depending on the aesthetic you want. Especially if you're not going for realism that'll be close enough to do the whole slow moving airship thing. Looks like it'd work in the air so that's all ya need. It isn't like most of your players are going to be aeronatical engineers or NASA employees.

If ya wanted realism? Then you'd be in big trouble.

Dead and shit, sickness and starvation. Being a peasant usually sucks.

better question: what would a cyberpunk setting based on it look like?

>>53226629

Mad Max with neon lights

>>53226678
Basically this. You're not gonna get an advanced sci-fi setting based on a culture who managed to un-domesticate the dog.

Dwarves.
Decent blokes, love alcohol, mining economy, and live down under.

>>53226694
But dwarves are perfectionists and hard workers.

>>53226496
Both

>>53226496
The broadly correct approach for a shield would be to treat it as a weapon with lowish damage potential, but that gives a high defense bonus and a bonus to some special combat stuff (pushing enemies, defending allies, whatever).

This would echo the real-world use of shields, where they were generally incorporated into combat styles as a secondary weapon rather than just as a purely defensive option.

>>53226496
Yes

>>53226424
I paladin the shit out this new holy land

>>53226424
My war domain cleric begins jacking off to tanks instantly. Because concepts of tanks and bombers was his divine revelation. To make a mobile metal construction with cannon and magical engine, plus huge crossbows here and there, pair of alchemical firethrowers and some thick-ass front armor and ram to charge shit.

D&D is shit, I don't play that garbage.

>>53226324
When will we get V5 beta?

>>53226377
My guess is it takes them at least a month to get it out, given they haven't actually released anything before.

When's trinity?
When's scion?

I love orkz in 40k. Could do without the accent, though.

I played my first couple of games today as part of a campaign and actually won all three of my games due to bottle tests. I'm guessing that's typical, but none of us really came close to completing the objectives. Last game was a four-person free-for-all and I was getting fucked up until it was down to me and one other player, we just slugged it out until he bottled out.

Question guys, I want to do an inquisition killteam since I have some coil models to use for it. Do I go for snipers, storm bolters, or a mix on my acolytes?

>>53226063
Assume that the snipers will have toxin rounds.

Can't be done. I can't even think of a good moral character that was ever played straight and wasn't poorly written.

>>53225456
What does this guy have against Kenshiro?

>>53225284
>first and second attack to shoot the horse with bonuses due to taking beasts as FE for flavor
Roll dexterity save to prevent some damage from falling off a horse moving at 60ft per turn, and you're knocked prone. Now I'm a strictly better ranger with my hunter conclave abilities.

>>53225629
>horse moves 7 miles per hour
>roll dexterity to stay in saddle
are you serious?

>>53225284
You can't get a riding horse as your companion as it's not medium or smaller
It can't disengage unless you use your action to command it to do so
From 5th level onwards, you can make one attack when you use your action to command your companion, but only if you command it to take the attack action
stop this meme shit

Saw this at my LGS. Thought it looked interesting but I haven't played it yet.

Is it fairly new I guess? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of models that I can find, or at least all I can find are US or German faction models. Kind of interested in what the Soviets bring to the table. I like their little Cherno Alpha lookin dudes

>>53225235
I think it's less than a year old. I'm interested in the Soviets as well, but their mech selection is limited to two choices I think. Maybe it's a design choice, and they rely on troops more?

But hey, bear-infantry, nuclear siberian stalkers, and steroid-infused superwomen all sound like a fun day in the sun!

>>53225136
It's basically Bolt Action, though I've never had experience with it. If you do have a demo game, report back because I got a few dust minis that need a purpose other than collecting dust.
