It is 514 years since the Battle of Cerignola was fought between Spanish and French armies, in Cerignola, near Bari in Southern Italy. Spanish forces, under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, formed by 6,300 men, including 2,000 landsknechte, with more than 1,000 arquebusiers, and 20 cannons, defeated the French who had 9,000 men; mainly heavy gendarme cavalry and Swiss mercenary pikemen, with about 40 cannons, and led by Louis d'Armagnac, who was killed.

Córdoba, called "El Gran Capitán" (The Great Captain), had many strategic advantages. He formed his infantry into new units called "Coronelías," that were the seed of the later Tercios. They were armed with a mix of pikes, arquebuses and swords. This type of formation had revolutionized the Spanish army.

The battle resulted in a heavy French defeat with the French reported to have lost around 2,000 men, Spanish losses amounting to some 500 men. The French wagon train and all of their artillery fell into the hands of the victorious Spanish troops. The end of the battle saw the first time a "call to prayer" (toque de oracion) was issued, when Córdoba, upon seeing the fields full of French bodies, ordered three long tones to be played and his troops to pray for all the fallen.

Cerignola marks the beginning of Spanish dominance on European battlefields until the defeat of Rocroi in 1643 and also marked the rise of pike and shot tactics. It is considered to be the first major battle won through the use of firearms, comparable to what was to occur in Japan later in the Battle of Nagashino in 1575.

He resisted having a movie made out of the series because the proposed script had too much action to it.

This shit would make him roll in his grave. Only in this scenario he seems to be alive, so I guess he'd just roll.

>>52945995
Probably pretty peeved, since it goes quite a bit against the base moral code of his works.

Seeking power and domination are intrinsically bad in Middle-Earth, as compared to creativity, inspiration, and personal determination and heroism.

The central struggle of the entire LotR trilogy was that using the weapons of the Enemy against him would make whoever used them just like him. Galadriel, Gandalf, Elrond, Glorfindel, etc... could have easily laid waste to Sauron and his armies had they harnessed the power of the Ring, but they chose to instead put the fate of Middle-Earth in the hands of a lone Hobbit and his trusty companion.

I haven't really played that much of the new LotR games, but I'd be surprised if the devs weren't to some degree aware of this and setting up the protagonist as a bad guy for some future game.

Still, they're pretty fun iirc. I thought the whole "persistent orc nemeses" thing was pretty cool from what little I played of it. Didn't capture the atmosphere of the series very well, especially since I'm a bookfag, but it was still enjoyable.

>>52946135
Shadow of Mordor does a good job being a story that's clearly set in middle earth but at the same time is a very different kind of story to LotR or the Hobbit.

Anybody have any Forged in Battle models? Opinions? They look good in pictures. They're having a sale on mid-war stuff to nab some business from Battlefront.

Why are PSC T-34s slightly but noticeably smaller than BF T-34s?

>>52938859
Small differences in scaling. Battlefront tends to go for beefier, more heroic scaling. Unless you are looking to tell them apart they are fine to mix and match on the table IMO.

Neither. Abominations are abomination. I keep them out of my games.

>>53022192
Why not both?

>>53022192
wtf

How the fuck are these guys Chaos Undivided and not sworn to Tzeentch?

>>53022034
>>53022362
first of all not chaos undivided, might not even chaos at all. Second not a chapter /thread

Why did you post an empty image, OP? Am I being trolled?

>>53020951
That means a storm is coming. I prepare accordingly.

>>53020951
>The ocean isn't brown

I would like to think all boards would align with Nurgle, for 4chan is a place where the kind-hearted go to pretend to be repulsive.

/b/ would be Chaos Undivided imo. Any of the porn boards would of course go Slaanesh though.

>>53020676

I think /k/ would either go Tzeentch for the individualism and anarchy, or Slaanesh for their weapon obsession and trap fetish.

With dwindling ressources, the weak won't be able to secure its share of resources and they will die anyway. No need to kill him.

>>53019954
No, but it's necessary.
NEXT!

>>53019954
Where else would people get corpse sandwich?

Though depending on what you mean by dwindling. If it is truly desperate then the best option is to cut them off or exile them from the group. If things are really bad, you could use them as rations.

>>53019348
well for starters you need a list of
-number of forces both sides have.
-what types of forces both sides have.
-keep in mind the terrain, weather.
-whos leading both sides.
-how important is the battle. A small skirmish or a huge clash to take a strategic point in the war.
-what era is the battle taking place compared to real life.

>>53019463
Yes, but mechanically how do I do?

Do I roll dice to decide how each army is doing?

>>53019495
Well as the DM you would roll for what the enemy is doing during the combat phase
.
Then the players roll for what they do.
Quick question will the players be officers in the army or are they just controlling their own characters.

First things first, the people gifted with abnormal powers are refered to as "supers" or "mutants". One person out of One thousand is a super. There is a wide variety of powers, some are
useless and some others are powerful. You can have supers born with the ability to set their nails on fire alongside other supers able to control elements.


In this setting, most people gifted with powers will not take the vigilante route for many reasons (Although the players could take this route). Most of the time it's because they fear of being discriminated for who they are
and thus chose to hide their powers, but some actually decide to use their powers and most of the times they use it for their own purpose wether by becoming stars on social medias
or crimelords.

In general being a hero is far too risky, doesn't pay much and people are likely to hate you anyway because you are different plus you'll surely have the govnerment hunting you
in order to turn you into a weapon or to dissect you in their top secret lab (And also because they usualy don't like it when somebody else brings the justice).

That is why most supers take the easy route : either hide or fight for you own sake by becoming a crimelord/mercenary.

As you can see on the map, I have rated the different Countries around the World with a Stability Index directly linked to supers' activities.

Heavy Green Countries : These countries have managed to control their supers population. Every kids are analized to spot the abnormalities as soon as possible. Supers
with interesting powers are handled by the government in special institutions where they recieve a top notch education but are also be endoctrined. These supers will then
be used by the govnerments as weapons in the war or for other means. In opposition to most countries in the world, supers are viewed as heroes of the nation and discrimination towards them
is percieved negatively by most people (athough there are still human supremacists groups in these countries). However, the governments control their supers populations very
heavily, so much so that children between supers and humans are strictly forbidden. The governments will track every individual in order to spot intersting powers, if they
can't have some supers on their side they will simply dispose of them and study their body for science.

So you're running Darker than Black?
We discussed it earlier. >>>52994920

Do tell more. I've been following this for a while, and I'm keen to see if you know anything I don't as of now.

How can an axe of that size be ever wielded as a weapon?

>>53019573
Perhaps the fantastical game world does not obey the same physics as our mundane world?

No, that's insane and could never happen. Sorry I even brought it up.

If your DM doesn't use Background Skills, you need to just knock some of their teeth out, because that shit's pathetic.

Posting again:
Last session my GM introduced 'something' to us:
>the party has traveled like 500 miles up into the mountains north of where most people live
>cold as fuck, snowing
>there are old structures on the mountain tops
>we came looking for treasure
>nothing there at first
>party is attacked by ghosts
>they aren't human ghosts, GM describes them as 'formless congealment of agony'
>press on
>some of our hirelings due to ghosts
>press on into the structures
>get attacked by another incorporeal creature
>GM describes it as 'sapient animalistic screaming'
>start finding treasure, mostly weird art pieces and statues made of precious metals
>most of the art is made of fractals
>have to make will saves while looking at it or get nauseated
>deeper down we find a massive fucking cavern
>the bottom of the cavern is just a huge featureless stone cube
>no seams or anything
>try to pas through it with earth glide, it's layered with other materials
>decide to crack it open
>set the hirelings to digging and set up base came
>dig towards center of the cube
>things attack us while we're doing this and explore a bit more
>most of them are either incorporeal, weird insect things with 16 legs, or ooze things
>find depictions of what our cleric works out is probably religious text in a language we don't know
>depicts a cycle of death and rebirth but with added steps
>GM described it as similar to Bhavacakra, a buddhist thing
>end up cracking open the stone finally
>inside it a stable made for humans
>there is a stone marionette on one side
>it's take itself apart and reconstructing itself in a chair on the other side of the table
>we watch it for a while it does this back and forth
>try to talk with it
>cleric asks "who are you?"
>it starts repeating "who are you?" in a louder and louder voice until our hirelings need to leave due to sonic damage
>suddenly goes silent as it finishes transferring itself
