But why the hell do we have so many useless Aspect Schools that don't contribute much of all to the battle? Statistically speaking the main ways to kill or rout the enemy is either by shelling the Khaine out of them or charging their position. Or ideally, a combination of both.
So why do we bother to have Dire Avengers, Swooping Hawks, or Fire Dragons. I'm a Dire Avenger and frankly I find it complete bullshit how apparently all I get to use is a shuriken rifle, which can barely kill anything that is wearing armor and we're completely lacking in support weapons in the squad. We have to stake our lives on the Dire Avengers or Striking Scorpions doing their jobs, which frankly isn't a comforting or reliable bet to make. It seems like to me that if we have such a proliferation of special weapons that we might as well scrap elite riflemen altogether.
Additionally, why do we even do this rigid squad structure bullshit anyway? We're supposed to be adaptable, and having concentrated squads dedicated exclusively to one 'Aspect' seems like purposefully gimping us. We'd be far more effective if we combined different aspects into one squad. I could put up with that Dark Reaper Barrion's edgy horseshit if he was always within ten feet of me with that rocket launcher of his.
Your shuriken catapult is fine, it has mini-rending, idiot.
(Why the FUCK do we call them catapults? That is not a name that makes me think of the kind of precision we expect out of them)
>>54328475
That's fine for killing Ork boyz, but that's not going be awfully helpful against an Ork buggy. At very least it would be nice if we just give everybody a Reaper Launcher, which shouldn't be much of a bother considering our Bonesingers just magic that shit into existence.
Or at very least, stick a Dark Reaper and Fire Dragon in each squad of Dire Avengers.

I want to get into this game, but I know next to nothing about it. Are those MEGA links a good place to start? How necessary are the sets (with the miniatures and such)?Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask.
40k 101:
you have your miniatures that you put together and paint
you put them on a table with fake terrain and stuff
you use rules in the rulebook and army indexes (which give your dudes specific rules and shit) to fight other armies of painted plastic dudes on fake terrain
you come up with stories based around these battles, and/or play competitively, and/or roll dice for shits and giggles
>>54328711
I imagined it was pretty much like most other tabletop RPGs, but how complicated are the rules (and the plot)? Looking at the files in the first mega link there makes me worried I'll have to spend 5 years reading before I can play.
Didn't see a proper character art thread, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.

>Kingdom has a entire arsenal with weapons that uses the souls of the dead.
>It is either used as a form of punishment for the most horrid of people, or as a form of retribution that people can ask for in hopes of a better afterlife.
>Most of the time, these weapons are sooner or later broken to set the soul free. However there are some weapons whose breaking is faked so they can keep being used because they are powerful or because certain people don't think the soul has paid off their debt yet. This is ridiculously illegal.
What can be some ways to hint to a player that their weapon has a really fucking old soul in it without outright telling them and what can be some good plot hooks for this idea?

Fucking Uno. Normies playing Uno. The same applies for any other fucking card game with a basic deck. Fuck off! It takes thirty minutes to learn an actual fucking card game like Magic, or, fuvk it, even YuGiOh or Pokemon. It doesn’t take much. But normies are persistent! They never want to fucking learn! They play with their subpar cards, with stupid fucking symbols and numbers. My fucking near mint PSA grade 10 Force of Will counters every fucking +4 in Uno! Disgusting plebs. Their arguments piss me off too.
>“Ooh, we just wanted to play a casual game.”
FUCK OFF! I have a casual kitchen table deck too, but you never let me play! I’LL STORM THE EVERLASTING SHIT OUT OF YOU! YOU DISGRACEFUL WHORE! I WILL RIDDLE YOUR FEEBLE BODY WITH GRAPESHOTS!

IT’S NOT COMPLICATED YOU CUMCONFUSED SEA OTTERS! YOUR WEAK UNEDUCATED MINDS WILL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT OF PHYREXIA! I WILL MINDSCULPT YOUR FUCKING BRAIN UNTIL I MAKE YOU MY CIRCUMCISED SOCKPUPPETS!!!
Look at them! Smiling as they throw down stupid, flimsy cards for children. They disgust me! They could play a sophisticated game for gentlemen with masterful art, calculated strategy and sublime mechanics. Instead they choose math for kindergartners. Heh. Pitiful. One day. One day though. The time will come, when Sandra from HR will invite me over for one of their uncultured games AND I WILL SHOVE MY ULTIMATE GUARD DECKBOXES INTO HER RECTUM WITH THE FORCE OF A THOUSAND BLOOD MOONS!
But for now, I’ll wait… Oh, I’ll wait...

Yeah, we all miss having quest threads on /tg/.
>normies reeeeeeeee
A good thread probably died for this. You should feel ashamed.
>>54326312
Hmm... initial impact seems good. Original concept to get angry at, good options to head into discussion, but I'm just getting the feeling you're trying too hard here. The prose is great, but at the same time too overdone. I mean, the words and the context say you're angry, but I'm not getting that feeling that you're really that angry about this, don't oversell it too me.
Still, a fine effort, I look forward to seeing your future work.
8/10, Room for improvement, but a fine addition to anyone's Trolling Portfolio.

>someone adds a comment, pointing out how Chapter Master is open source and will make faster progress as a result.
It's almost tempting to ask for a license, but I'm half-certain GW would drop me into a pit with spikes and cover that in cement.
>>54326958
Well the game is Interstellar Army Simulator, Chapter Master is just a mod for it bro

Man, /tg/'s really gone into the shitter.
Anyone ever play the pokemon TCG or was this game only really good for collecting in binders to show off to the other kids on the playground?Also, favorite pokemon (card)?
>>54325496
I think I only played it once at a friend's house. I always liked this Gastly card. I don't know why, there was just something about its cheesy 3D art that really transported me somewhere else, or at least it did when I was 9 years old.
>>54325496
This game is definitely alive Anon. People are playing both irl and on Pokemon TCG Online client. You should visit the /vp/ - they have a pokemon tcg generals all the time
Never got a chance to play, because most of my friends only cared about the collecting aspect and none of them wanted to learn to play. Some of them refused to trade cards as well even if they had multiples of really common ones.
