Post stuff relating to AdMech and Skitarii. How can we improve them in 8th edition and should they finally get a fucking flyer?
Just getting back into 40k after 6 years playing warmahordes. Finished my ranger alpha a couple of days ago currently about a third of the way through an Onager.
Sorry bout the shitty pic I'm a phone poster.
What's the point of using rangers? Vanguard are better in every way except range.

ROBOTS ARE FUCKING GAY ASS SHIT
If a person were to want to create a campaign setting taking inspiration from the Souls series (and by extension Berzerk) what would you want to see in that setting? What would you consider to be the core elements of Dark Soul's lore that gives it such a distinctive feel?
Would it be dressing up Eastern philosphical and religious concepts in a Western coat of paint? A world being slowly overrun by monsters from without and equally monstrous people from within?
>>52517990
Every monster, demon, undead lord or abomination, no matter how unspeakably terrible, rotted, pathetic or foul, has some bit of the dignity or might it once held.
Withered, tattered beauty. A 'twilight of the gods' (literally or not) in which you live amongst slow but advanced decay. Apocalyptic atmosphere.
You don't actually want a carbon copy of the themes and ideas in Dark Souls or you might as well just do Dark Souls.

Affintity and Storm. I like that Storm has a lot of intricacies and you really need to know the deck to play it optimally.
>Hating?
Price spikes

Eldrtich-osaurus combo.
>Expecting any meta changes?
Not really.
>Thoughts on the spike?
I was about to build dredge and/or living end but the speculators did their moves before I could buy anything. Fuck them.
Any uses for Ranger of Eos? Card seems really powerful but I havent seen decks use it other than Soul Sisters.

No

If I end up with on RUG or BUG build and I have to buy Loam it's gonna suck, but it's to be expected

A Maurader who enjoys causing random bits of chaos. Only other Mages can actually see him but he'll always appear as the thing that will cause the situation to turn bad.
>>52515393
Question. Does he have a form of possession or is he just using disguises? It's not like Becky and Johnny never existed and someone does own that car. Who's actually behind the wheel?
>>52515520
Definitely possession

You better have done something really wacky and random with that crit, OP
Have you ever retired a character after a major defeat?
>>52514595
Every single one that dies. Resurrection is for chumps and chumpettes.
Kinda Forever-DM for my group, but the setting has rezzing happen fairly commonly for people with the money to do so. Some PCs and major NPCs with that option will choose to stay dead though, accepting their time to move on or that they just failed. King once died and his son avenged him, saved the kingdom, and all that jazz, so king decided to leave things to him from here on out since he succeeded wher his father failed
Actually had a character retire after winning, just not how they had hoped.
Had a player with the major plot hook for his paladin that the sister turned heretic and was tasked with bringing her in or killing her. When diplomacy failed, party killed her. Paladin was knocked out during the killing blow and came to with the sister dead. Took care of the body then went home to quietly mourn and get new orders.

>Be paladin in 3.5
>Instead of a horse, ride a giant poisonous worm into battle.
>Feel awesome, do lots of fun shit with the worm and the party
>One day, enter evil wizards tower, long abandoned. Find three magical portals with inscriptions above them.
>Have to split the party, since each portal only allows 1 person.
>One inscription reads: "Face those who have not passed on"
>Well clearly this is undead related, leave this to me guys.
>Stride in there confident in victory.
>Room full of fucking shadows.
>Drain my strength, ignore my armor.
>Since I focused on my worm companion, my turn undead-fu was weak.

>Worm buddy jumps to my defense, gets killed before I can do anything.
>Let out a cry of defeat, knowing that my hubris killed us both
>Party rogue hears it coming from a nearby room, dimension doors in and saves my life
>Realize that my worm friend died because of my overconfidence
>Couldn't even avenge him, the rogue who I always looked down on had to bail my ass out.
>Lose faith in myself and leave the party once we exit the tower, never to be seen again.

FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.
>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.
>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.
>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.
>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.
>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now no longer in the employ of a dozen+ radical Inquistors, and have instead been folded back into guard ranks of Ultima Segmentum. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.
>Why don't you people move to quest?
Quests have a single QM and a group of people collectively controlling a character or a group. Penal Regiment /tg/ has neither of those things.
>The colonel would be attending to his personal pet project.
>He had all intent to lead a mobile attack against the xenos scum.
>And for this purpose he had brought out a "souvenir" of sorts
>Said "Souvenir" happened to be a Tauros rapid assault vehicle, or RAV for short.
>Almost all of it was present, the colonel had not gotten a whole tauros but he intended to customize it to fit his personal quirks anyway, so a Tauros with some parts missing was an optimal project.
>He was waiting on some crates which he had taken with him, since he had pre-planned this project, but he had never actually gotten to the work.
>Since the regiment wasn't in dire need of their colonel at the moment he'd give his full attention to his Taurox.
>But alas, he was merely the man with the specifications on how to assemble and customize said vehicle. The adeptus Mechanicus were responsible of actual assembly.
>It was at times like this that the Colonel wished that he would have a suitable cogboy as a lapdog to cater to the good Colonel's wildest requests.
>a tired, sultry figure enters the cafeteria
>One with the look of a man who was dead until five minutes ago
>he sits down at the bar, ordering something, anything, preferably toxic
>he pulls back his fiery-red hair and fixes the glasses, pushing them against the bridge of his nose
>he lights a lho and takes a deep pull, holding it in as he takes a swig of the 'alcoholic' 'beverage', grunting audibly
>he slams the glass down with a choking cough and a chuckle

Why are all the best sci-fi/Fantasy writers crazy lunatics with axes to grind?
I'm not complaining, just wondering.
Warrior aristocracy = Feudalism?
Not necessarily, I don't think Sparta was feudalistic
Feudalism at its core is largely "you can have this land to govern, and in return you provide me with money or troops". A decentralised system of government brought about by power having to be locally present to assert itself.
You can easily have a warrior aristocracy without it, just as the guy given land to rule here doesn't need to be personally part of the troops made available in exchange, those could in theory be any dregs.
>>52513486
Feudalism has been debunked though. It never existed and is just something historians made up for convenience
What are some interesting, yet completely stupid character concepts you've always wanted to try?
For example,
>A barbarian woman who vowed to her ancestors to kill and eat a stronger thing everyday. She's at boars right now, soon dragons!
>>52512785
>>52512785
Shadowrun physical adept who uses elemental weapon on cigarettes to give enemies lethal cigarette burns.
>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
. It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
