I'll start us off

>Playing?
U/W Midrange. Have been testing G/W aggro and R/B Zombies online though and have been having a lot of fun. May consider building something new.
>Hating?
Nothing really, Cat Combo can get annoying but it isn't unbeatable (at least in my colors)
>Secret techs?
There was some post about Providence in an old thread a few days ago and it really got me thinking about playing it MB in my U/W deck.
>Thoughts on the Invocations?
I like the art (pic related) but the borders bother me. I'm wondering if we'll be allowed to play the Aven Mindcensor Invocation in standard?
>Any predictions about the lore? Will the Gatewatch finally meet it's end on Amonkhet?
I'm really hoping Nicol Bolas at least fucks with them somehow. The Justice League of the Multiverse is getting pretty old.
>Speccing on any specific cards?
With all the cycling I can see Delirium really making a comeback. Traverse is already expensive but it may go up even higher.
>How'd you do at FNM this week?
3-1, lost in top 4 but it was still good fun.

placed first at a GPT this Saturday with a wonky version of mardu vehicles with no sideboard, no gideons, and no hearts. even played against 4c Saheeli and actual Mardu. so with the in store credit got me some gids and a pack of MM3, pulled a scalding tarn. pretty good weekend for me.

Thoughts?

This is as equally fitting for Guilliman as it is for Sanguinius.

But we can't survive almost any environment, unless you mean through use of technology.

>"Humans are the cockroaches of the galaxy, primitive, weak, and stupid but can work and fight for hours on end, lose limbs and suffer horrendous wounds without issue, breed exponentially, and can survive in almost any environment - with proper guidance."

How's that. I've got a thing for aliens that "uplift" mankind to some symbiosis.

>hurr but why use humans when they can just do it themselves with their advanced technology?

Maybe the aliens are explorers and scientists mapping out the far reaches of space and have discovered some seriously bad shit, like intelligent genocidal lifeforms with stable civilizations, or berserker bots that have continued their war long after their creators went extinct - and they need soldiers to stop this threat right now.

>humanity, we come in peace. but in 140,593 years a swarm of berserking machine soldiers created by an unknown extinct culture will come to bring war to your planets. with our technology and your help we can stop this threat before it wipes out your biospheres.

First for Maze's End.

Happy to see 2 copies of Knightfall in the top 4 even if it is Team Unified.

I was just memeing if that was not clear

For all the chatolic subtext in the book, 3rd age people didn't look relogious at all.
True gods are semiforgotten probably, people are too practical to erect temples and spend their time going to mess.
I wonder how civic religion would change after the ring war. After all it was won thanks to a literal angel.

Why use adeva as a base?

You have to rip out about most of the mechanics they added. Better start with a clean base of Dark heresy and rebuild from there

I don't know, from a sword I'd take that it is my duty to protect the land, and ensure her rulers are defending the land and her people.
Had I been given a crown, however, I would be in no doubt.

Hold up, how do we know that any old lake lady is necessarily divine?

>>52498237
Looks like its going to be shit imo, the exposed bottom means that some dude can just burn it down with the new fire rules, and plus you probably need to by more ghost pirates to actually man all the cannons.

What is this Lego Wars? I have not heard of it.

It's a meme like Chapter Master, where /tg/ pretends a wargame exists when it really doesn't

Except several sets of lego wargame rules do exist, making the meme pointless

It's a blast to play with plenty of depth. However, I can't imagine playing it physically (I play using Tabletop Simulator), there's so many individual decks and cards and shit that it'd be a nightmare to deal with.

It's super fun to play, but setting it up and cleaning it up sucks. I have all of the current expansions and got the laser cut MDF inserts, but it makes the box hell to move around.

You can play alone, but I prefer playing with one or two other people.

Is it worth the price tag? Depends on you. If you like the models, it's a good buy. If you like playing with others AND alone, it's a good buy.

I would recommend it to anyone provided they have a place to put it and can afford it. You can get it at a discount after release on Black Friday if you want the physical copy, or you can hope and pray on ebay for a cheap, but good-condition used copy to be put up.

>>52497804
It's a fucking great game but may not be worth the price tag for you. If you like the models, sure, but I definitely don't recommend it if you're only getting it for the game.

People don't like being told, "No," or, "You can't do [thing]"

If I said, "No, you can't skin is baby alive" someone would push back, then start giving me reasons why they not only can, but absolutely should skin that baby.

One trick I use is to tell my players what's ALLOWED, while not mentioning what's NOT allowed. They focus on what I said Is allowed, and don't even think twice about what I didn't tell them.

Well I do not play D&D for any system that enforces alignment, and necromancy usually just means being able to talk to the dead. So personally when I do approach the topic of necromancy it comes down to are you using it for good or evil. Same as any other type of magic really a pyrokinetic individual can be a firefighter or he can be a Serial arsonist.

But like all things it depends on the setting in the rules you're willing to bend

What if I just post a bunch of girls and tell you that they're boys

That's what OP is doing already.

Will this do?

Recently I've gotten addicted to the idea of killing characters. I've been a DM for a good 8 years now, run at least 20 different campaigns of >1 session, and played in only a handful. I always hated the adversarial method of DMing, the "hahaha killer DM, appease me with snacks or else." And I still do run story-focused games. But after I went to an Adventurer's League game at an FLGS where half the party got wiped out by a swarm of needle blights, I realized how fun TPKs and character deaths can be. Like the dwarf barbarian who spent about 20 minutes running away and constantly getting swarmed before eventually dying, my character getting rekt and another character going back to save mine and getting rekt, too. So now I feel like killing off characters in my games all the time. I use fair, challenging but beatable encounters, yet now I am actually cheering for the monsters to kill the PCs. Maybe I just don't like the characters? Or maybe I have this strange addiction to death now. I don't know what it is.

>>52497296
I derive the most enjoyment out of playing the most complicated characters. I'm not trying to special-snowflake, I just enjoy having a lot of options. My current ongoing PF character is a gestalt Vizier Mesmerist//Scout Ninja, in a Mythic game where I got gestalt instead of Mythic. I'm not as "strong" as the other players, but I am absurdly good at utility, while getting killiness from Ninja and social manipulation from Mesmerist. It's pretty fantastic, but I feel sorry for my GM that has to constantly deal with shit like "I spend 2 ki to power Forgotten Trick to give myself Light Steps, to run across the water far enough that I can then Dimension Door to the other side".

I've never gotten the chance to play a Pen and Paper RPG in my life as a player or DM, but I post in all the lore threads as though I have using ideas I have in the case I do ever get to play.

Score-Z was huge in its time but Pan-Z was more of a cult hit by comparison. Score-Z was better at feeling like a straight knock down, drag out DBZ fight but Pan-Z was a better tactical and strategic game, sometimes at its own peril.

>>52498205

Yeah, I agree entirely. This is the 4th time this game has been cancelled and the sad thing is, is that Panini was the best damn one. It had the CLEANEST mechanics and the best tier decks of THEM ALL. You could EASILY play with a Tier 2 deck and top cut a Tier 1 no problem in Panini's game. Forget about that though in Score-Z because I clearly remember that if you had a Tier 2 in Score-Z it was nearly impossible to ever beat a Tier 1 deck.

So Panini really balanced out a lot of the mechanics and the flow of the game which made it the best rendition of them all. Score had some pretty horrendously styled cards and hilariously bad phrased ones to the point where you couldn't even comprehend some of the shit. I give Panini kudos for taking all of Score's errors and redefining them to fit the game better.

When did you stop playing anon?

>>52498205
>>52498748
I used to play the Score version and rather liked it, and I almost got into the Panini version but got put off by the booster pack distribution model.

How do the two compare? Is the Panini one potentially worth picking up (expecially since I'd probably just be playing casually with friends)?

Like that... Or check Skyrim.

They're the good guys.

So what's the best way to fix up bubble hell resin models?

Liquid green stuff is pretty awful

WIP for my biker chaplain conversion. I think I am at the point where I need to use GS to fill in the obvious gaps. I need to connect the left arm to the PF, and the right elbow could probably use some also.

Right arm, and shoulder are magnetized for posing. I haven't drilled the bolters, or taken off all the mold lines yet.

I haven't GS'd things before so this will be my first model. My plan is to make an "elbow" connecting the left arm and power fist, as well as making the right "elbow" more solid.

Any thoughts so far?
