I'm seeing the 3 big factions within Chaos as being

Erebus - Largest number of The Fallen. Fallen tend to be further augmented with possession Oblitorator Virus, bucket loads of blessings and SCIENCE! Also he has The Chariot of the Gods. It's a Blackstone Fortress. He's somehow bound deamons into it to act as an operating system. He is also a human supremacist and sees humanity as the favored child of the gods, eldar are a failed race FUCKING SUCK IT MALYS YOU STUPID WHORE!

Lady Malys - Has the loyalty (HAHAHAHAHA!) of most of the Chaos Eldar which is a holy shit number. Also has the blessing of all the dark gods and so can call huge numbers of deamons. In terms of personal capability not even Emperor Oscar would be stupid enough to take her on without backup. Currently on top of the game due to effectively uniting Chaos and Dark eldar. Eldar supremacist who sees herself as rebuilding the Old Empire but better.

Be'lakor - Old as balls Deamon-Prince. Older than most of the current crop of gods. Back in his day there were two Chaos gods. Tzneetch and Malal. They were the same consuming it's own tail. He has seen some shit. Not as powerful as Lady Malys but at least as devious and cunning. His followers are almost universally Chaos Undivided and the shit they summon tends to be from out in the Wasteland of the Realm of Chaos. His followers aren't as numerous or as powerful as Erebus but they tend to be more stable.

There are other lesser lordlings of chaos. Most are flocking to the banner of Lady Malys because shit's getting real.

>>51442254
Sounds good, although I think it would work better if Luther rather than Erebus was the head of the Fallen. Erebus seems like more of a “Chaos for Chaos’ sake” kind of guy, accepting of all peoples so long as they follow the will of the Dark Gods, as opposed to the established human supremacist Luther.

Erebus could essentially act as a "messenger" between the major mortal-ish factions of Chaos, being the only one who is essentially acceptable to all of them. He's human enough for Luther, his devotion to the Dark Gods is strong enough for Lady Malys, and he grovels enough to make him acceptable for Be'lakor.

So in this case is a Black Crusade one of the few times where the various warbands of Chaos are actually on the same page and work together (at least until their sudden but inevitable betrayal) because FUCK THE IMPERIUM. Because although the various warbands of Chaos may hate each other, they hate the Imperium even more. It makes sense given what we have so far. The Fallen were aiding the Cronedar at the Battle of Terra, and it makes sense that there would have to be some kind of threshold such that every Chaos attack isn't a Black Crusade (the Panacea Wars, for example, were just Malys, not a full Black Crusade). It would also make sense because if the warbands of Chaos can't get their shit together at least for a little bit, how can they hope to stand against the unified Imperium?

Also, is Be'lakor still an early Old One experiment with apotheosis pissed off that he 'merely' attained Daemon Princedom as opposed to full blown warp god?

>eldar are a failed race FUCKING SUCK IT MALYS YOU STUPID WHORE!

Sh...shut up Malys. It's not like I like you or anything.

>>51442889

Might also want to tone down Malys' Eldar supremacy a bit to distinguish her from whoever we decide leads the Fallen so she isn't just Luther BUT AN ELDAR. Malys is an Eldar supremacist, but not narrow-minded enough to turn down help from the Fallen. Mainly focused on spreading Chaos for Chaos' sake (which she might see as the fruits of the Old Empire), though she's so uncontrollable even the Dark Gods are a little nervous about her.

Is it wrong that I find nobledark!Malys to be more terrifying than vanilla!Abbadon? Vanilla!Abbadon is a bit of a generic schemer. Malys is terrifying because she too is a schemer but she's also a complete lunatic at the same time. She can come up with devious plans, but they're often the kind of schemes that can only come from the kind of coked-up mind that is high on warp dust all the time. It's like that old saying: "how can you predict what your enemy will do when even they don't know what they're doing". Abbadon aims high with his Black Crusades but often has to be satisfied with consolation prizes. Malys doesn't care if she doesn't win this round because of the sheer amount of destruction caused and how crazy she is.

Perhaps one additional group worth mentioning in the bunch:

Huron Blackheart - Not a major warlord, but still worth mentioning. Turned five chapters to Chaos during the Badab War, one devoted to each god and Huron's personal chapter the Red Corsairs following Chaos Undivided. Act more like mercenaries than cultists, willing to support any major warband as long as the pay is good. This is one of the ways people like Malys and Be'lakor get their hands on CSM (other than those that aren't hardcore Luther followers). Currently throwing their lot in with Malys for the 13th Black Crusade like many of the lesser warbands.

My expectations upon Damon's first cycle were that he blew some fresh air into Netrunner, mostly because the shitfest that was Mumbad. And he delivered, with an amazing tie in side-game and right into the 23 seconds datapack. All factions got interesting cards to exploit different aspects of the game, making identities around a new way to remake old themes.
It was a pretty amazing first cycle for him.

I'm not much hyped for Red Mars though, I'm more hyped for Terminal Directive and i want to explore some more of this cycle.

Well, at least poor crims suck slightly less now.

It is 203 years since the Battle of Brienne was fought on 29 January 1814, which resulted in the victory of Emperor Napoleon I's French forces over the Russian and Prussian forces commanded by the Prussian Generalfeldmarschall Prince von Blücher. The battle followed on the heels of reverses suffered by the French in both 1812, which had gutted the strength of the French Army, and 1813, where they fought against the Sixth Coalition. The Sixth Coalition had intentions of deposing Napoleon, dissolving the First French Empire and restoring the Bourbon monarchy to France.

The battle (the first of the 1814 Campaign) took place near Brienne-le-Château, where Napoleon had attended military school in his early years. As the Allies advanced on France from three different directions, the French Emperor planned to attack and defeat each in turn.

Napoleon's first target was the spread-out force of some 17,000 Russians (part of the combined Prusso-Russian Army of Silesia) under Field Marshal Blücher. To battle his old adversary, Napoleon had a force of some 30,000 troops, but most of these were just out of the camps with little training and no wartime experience. Many of them were teenage conscripts, dubbed "Marie-Louises" after the Empress who signed the order for their conscription in Napoleon's absence. Napoleon had tried to accomplish an envelopment of Blucher's whole force near the Aube River, but allied cavalry captured a set of the Emperor's orders and Blucher avoided the trap. Additionally, rain had turned many area roads into mud, slowing Napoleon's advance. Napoleon finally caught up with Blucher near Brienne. Blucher, outnumbered, with only Russian Lt. General Baron Osten-Sachen's wing of his army on hand (Yorck's Prussian I Corps was out of supporting distance) was forced to accept battle, as his army's baggage trains were too close – stuck on the muddy roads between Brienne and Dienville.

what is necromunda

>>51508061
Pretty much.

A good example is to just read a bit of Name of the Wind, where the main character spends considerable time in a city divided up in "tiers".
Lowest levels being the poor districts, higher up you went the richer the neighbourhood became.

You'll have exaggerated class chasm, probably even racial related ones as some races might be only confined to certain poor areas, aswell as potential religious schisms dividing up the higher echelon and the poor ones.

Use the rule of cool. What type of chaos faction/army do you think is the coolest?

>>51506775
Well I really like the look of pic related on the OP post. I'm wondering if theres a huge difference between the normal Chaos Codex and The Daemonkin one. They both have similar units it seems.

Ideally I want an army that can shoot decently enough but also get stuck in real hard when its time to assault.

okay so it's a heroic fantasy setting with a really solemn LotR vibe to it where female elves wear diapers and somehow that plays a huge role in that world's politics, religions and economy.

how's that for a compelling premise?

anybody wanna expand on that?

Wizards invent television, but the first prototypes are faulty and chaos ensues as the TV shows start leaking into reality.

Dwarven females have had enough of ubiquitous beauty standards based on the elves and start feminist guerilla squads that attack elven females.

Exhausts from a factory of magic wands pollute the clouds and bring them to life, the now sentient clouds proceed to fuck up the weather and cause a drought with their games.

Thousands of friends and relatives gathered for the reading of the will of recently deceased richest ent in the world, but as the will must be read in the ent language, the reading has already taken two years and the heirs began harassing the local community.

Due to a miscast of Animate Dead, a hero's skeleton comes alive while still within him. The hero must now work in tandem with his own skeleton to accomplish anything at all, which is difficult, since the skeleton is far more interested in chasing hot girls than in fighting evil.

The gods flee their holy mountain in panic as a cosmic entity known only as "GM" invades the universe to conduct a reality-threatening ritual known only as The Retcon.

Meat has aspirations, yet the skeleton just wants to bone things.

Honestly, the class performs OK. The part that wen't "wrong" is that 9.9/10 times your best course of action in any given situation to spam Agonizing/Repelling Eldritch Blast over and over and basically be a turret. It's the caster version of the Champion Fighter, without even the benefit of some extra crit perks. In combat, most of the time there's simply nothing you can do that's a better option, so it's gameplay gets super stale. This is ESPECIALLY true for Pact of Blade warlock, who's melee capabilities, even with Thirsting Blade, fall way way behind the damage and flexibility that Eldritch Blast offers.

Out of combat, Warlocks are great and dripping with flavor and cool options on a short cooldown. But in combat you're pretty much just pressing one button over and over to win.

>>51505471

I find the multiclassing into sorceror "fixes" this (more attack options than just EB), but naturally multiclassing shouldn't be needed to make gameplay interesting.

>>51505546
But the main reason to multiclass into sorcerer is to get sorcerer points to quicken eldritch blast
