90% of players play marines. New edition came out. Old players can just use their existing marines models.

So how can GW make a profit?

Make a new Marines faction that you can't just paint up your existing models to be and make it more powerful than original marines.

I'd love to see an organized push back from the players with everyone just using old marines models and Primaris rules.

>>54968517
I don't even bother with Primaris because old Marines are performing better for me anyway.

Tekumel is Aztec...no, that doesn't cover it.
Tekumel is inspired by ancient asian empires...no, that doesn't cover it either
Tekumel, Empire of the Petal Throne meshes weird fantasy with...nope, doesn't cover it.

Tekumel is pretty damn complex with no European influence whatsoever. Has its own constructed language. It's occasionally in print.

>>54968518
It looks really cool, but perhaps a little hard to relate to and thus also a little difficult to get people excited about.

4; The Tower of Dolphins. The God Poseidon charged the first Wanax with both the right to rule, and with the burden of leadership. "You must be as a dolphin to your people, guiding them through stormy waters." The Tower holds many secrets, even from the current Wanax, and only few of which have been penetrated. It also holds two prisons, one underground, another among the top floors of the tower.

5; The Barracks, for the troops of the city and Wanax. This is mainly for training and recruits. The Wanax's levies are composed mainly of light infantry, with a core of heavy shock infantry that are composed of the elite and nobleborn. It is a rare commoner or burgher who makes it into their ranks.

6; Archery Range. A recent construction, the current Wanax's father ordered the creation of a core of archers to assist the infantry with ranged support.

7; The Great Market. The original marketplace of the city, it is mandated by law to have no permanent structures, and no merchant may stay in the same place for more than a week. The Great Market is constantly shifting and changing.

8 Military Stables. There is no real cavalry under the Wanax, but there are always needs for mounted scouts and messengers. There has been talk of perhaps mounting infantry units to bring them to battles faster.

9 Port/Shipyard. The Port goes into Hippocampus Bay, and can construct new ships. It is the second largest shipyard known to the city, and more than fits the needs. The port itself is fairly busy with ships coming and going daily.

10 Naval Warehouses. This isn't just storage of goods, but also the workshops, taverns, alehouses, and other businesses that cater specifically to the port.

11, the Old Fort, Teumession. An older fort meant to help protect the mouth of the bay. It is currently abandoned with only a light patrol ever so often to keep it clear of bandits and wild animals. It was named after the fox that would not be caught.

>>54967057
12, the new Fort, Laelops. A new fort with better command of the mouth of the bay, and is kept fully garrisoned. It is named after the hound that could catch anything.

13. The Temple of Poissidon, and if not the largest, then one of the largest to the Sea God. As this is a city on the coast and with the history of the Wanax, it is the center of the city's religious life. It is here that a new Wanax is anointed with the waters of life upon assuming the throne.

14. Crafter's Quarter. The heart of what industry in the city. Generally poorer workers are here, cheaper goods that are not quite mass produced, but close to it.

15, the Manufactorium. Seeing a great need for cloth for sails and other uses, foreigners from Reme settled in the city and built a waterwheel and magical looms powered from the water flowing through the river.

16, The Granaries. The bulk of the food stored for long periods is kept here, as well as preperation. Those employed by the city come to the Granaries for their daily allotment of bread, which is part of their pay, a concept imported long ago got from the lands of the Long River. In times of war, the armies of the Wanax are supplied from the stores in the granary, rather than depending on foraging in their own lands.

17. The Lower Quarter (It needs a better name) is were the majority of the population lives. There are a few minor markets, but otherwise it is a densely populated area.

18. The Upper Quarter (It needs a better name) is where the townhouses and minor palaces of the nobles reside. Some of the larger estates may have the servants live on-site.

19. New Trade Quarter. This is where the permanent shops and markets take place. Artisans who cater to fine crafted goods, doctors, alchemists, and other 'rich' professions make their base here.

>>54967066
20. River Docks. The River Docks handle all the legal traffic along the river, of which there is quite a bit. However, the river traffic must debark at the river docks, then continue either on foot or wagon to the sea docks.

21) The Traveler's Quarter. This is where those visiting the city, or simply making a waypoint on a longer destination, would spend their time. This is where you would find the better sort of inns and taverns. This is where the majority of foreigners would be found, you also find the larger shrines and temples to other gods.

22) The Garden of Victory. The Garden of Victory is allowed access to all of the city. In it are small steles and tablets that commemorate the city's victories or major accomplishments. The latest was erected a generation ago, a small tablet in the Small Garden, describing the city's troops victorious in defense of an ally, true to their word in treaty sworn by the gods.

How about stop fucking using that retarded concept of a race?

>>54966204
Okay? What's your point?

>>54966204
I'd probably let them roll a reflex save or something, to react to the amulet moving. It's still probably kill them though.

>>54966472
Not OP, but it could be a good way to curb the chaotic idiot tendencies of specific group members in a humorous way.

I recall we had a player who would immediately touch anything he thought was cursed or trapped because he thought it would be funny and the person who was previously DMing was too much of a pussy to kill him for it. The new DM was having none of that shit. His character ate a fruit from a purple tree in the middle of a negative energy filled dungeon and immediately dissolved into ash. He spent the next hour huffing about it before making a new character.

there is only one class called the street shitter that shits in the street

>>54966145
It would be pretty fucking metal, a mix of Wuxia and high fantasy.

Are they gonna fug?

>implying

Because they're not always used for evil purposes and may sometimes lead to a morally better solution than the alternatives, ex. murderhoboing everything in sight.

But you just wanted an excuse to post your cropped magical realm porn.

Is it evil to take someone by the hand and tug them? Denial of choice isn't Evil, though it can easily be turned to malign purposes. Forcing someone to behave in a Good manner is intrinsically Good.

I didn't know BL writers were so easily triggered. Might want to work on your insecurity Aaron

IMO I'd say the Imperium would be stronger without them. In the sense that without Horus the emperor would still be alive and active.

Now the expansion speed would be barely a fraction of what it currently is and I'd imagine xenos empires would be a major threat (think the Tau, but thousands of them) but the lack of an organized force of magical supersoldiers from hell bent on destroying mankind would kind of balance that out.

Seriously, if the IG and the tempestus scions got all the resources that normally go to SM chapters they'd be far more competent. Vulnerable to chaos corruption, though.

>>54963388
Caveat: the Imperium would probably be less than half the current size.

Personally I think that would be better for humanity. It's not like they're short on manpower or space.

Also without a dedicated xenocidal Ethnic Cleansing Inc. force like the SM legions humanity might actually be able to make lasting alliances with xenos that are extinct in the canon timeline.
