Why does 40k still have mass that isn't weapon systems? If they've been fighting for hellwar that long, you'd think they would have run out of planets and had to move to mining old weapons to make new weapons.
Especially with things like orks and tyranids around, which naturally convert all things around them into weapon systems.

Bronze Age Warfare.jpg
102KB, 770x437px
/tg/, tell me about Bronze Age Warfare. Or more specifically, how Bronze Age societies dealt with the advancement of iron.

I'm planning a setting for a campaign where the BBEG is leading an army that's fighting a coalition of the civilized realms through his innovations of cheap iron weaponry, recursive bows, meritocratic chain of command, and a Romanesque logistics system.

The other realms are standard Bronze Age Warfare- chariots, skirmishers, bronze shields, slingers, nobility led armies.

Historically, how did Bronze age societies adapt to changing conditions on the battlefield?

I would think so. Bronze isn't to my knowledge that much more fragile than iron.

Looking for a universal wargame system, ie; a system that contains rules for building an army and playing a game, but allows you to buy the models you want for it.

Either a scifi, or at least modern to postmodern setting, or ideally anything like:
>Ætherverse
or
>AETHERVERSE
as it's also known.

Now I know what your about to say: Why not just go with Ætherverse? Well, I'm not sure how much fun I can have with the 3 other people on this planet who actually use that system.

Ideally, it should also be a popular set of rules so I can actually play a game with someone.

Hmmm Rouge Stars by Osprey might be what you are looking for but that is skirmish.

I remember when Ætherverse was first released. I was really excited. There was a revised 2nd edition. That was over a decade ago... wow.

Miniatures gamers care about miniatures and "support". They don't really care about rules since it's just a pretense to play with dolls and express their ego. Roleplayers care about rules, but that's because they use the rules to make snowflakes and express their egos.

Your players have gotten together and decided they want to try something new: They want to play an all-kobold group of PCs. So, which system would be the best to play this in, 3.5? Pathfinder? OD&D?

And what kinds of things would you present as adventures for a little band of xenophobic tunnel-dwelling monsters?

Pathfinder is actually pretty good for this. Most classes have some option available to make anything viable. Also they get a feat line that turns them into mini dragons.

We have a game of all-kobold AD&D going on for this, with a fighter, a fighter/cleric, a witch doctor, and a thief going around in the frozen north and basically taking on the fight against some powerful demons because they don't want anyone to tread on them.

It's a lot of fun.

Good adventures you could run would basically involve much the same they've been doing a lot of times: work for various other races as a band of disposable mercenaries, the sort no one likes but that do damn good job: Pathfinder or 5e would likely work well for those. Or you could do something different and go down to the Underdark to do dungeon crawling: being more exploration-oriented and likely involving plenty of resource management and dungeons, you might want to look at AD&D for those.

Now then... I know that we've all been stuck on this planet, for the past week. Doing nothing but digging in, as we await the eventual enemy attack that was expected last Tuesday. But that doesn't mean that you lot, can simply break into my tent, and steal bottles of Amasec from my PERSONAL LOCKER! Do you have ANY idea how much those bottles are worth on the blackmarket!? Do you!

*Ahem!*... As such, to determine whom the prepetrator of this crime is. I am ordering a full Field Kit Inspection, for every member of the regiment! From the lowest grunt, to the highest Company Commander. We shall determine which of you is a foul thief...

I'm looking at you, Corporal Hellsworth!

So present arms, for a Field Kit Inspection!

First target has been and always will be Mark.

Any one play Experiment Kraj? What are some win conditions. Got a hold of him and I like his ability, want to build a fun, kinda combo, kind of midrange deck with him.
>>
>>54086112
it's only really good if you can take some advantage of it, like with sen triplets or mindclaw shaman effects

otherwise, it's -1 cards in your deck and your opponents will often assume the worst about your hand if no one else has huge threats

but you can run it for flavor reasons like for an edric deck

How to create a monotheistic religion that isn't a rehashed version of chrisrianism (with a few jewish elements)?
I've seen a few fa/tg/uys saying that (fantasy) religions with a single god are the best but I've yet to see one that isn't some abrahamic rehash or dragon crystal jesus.

Do you have any good ideas or approachs to a single-god religion that are very different from the three big religions?

RELIGIOUS DEBATES NOT ALLOWED! I DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT HOW YOUR RELIGION IS BETTER THAN THE OTHERS OR HOW ALLAH ISN'T GOD OR WHATHEVER, RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE OF COURSE ALLOWED AND YOUR RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE IS CERTAINLY USEFUL BUT I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS SO GO TIP YOUR CROSS OR YOUR DRYED COCK ELSEWHERE IF YOU WANT TO TURN THIS THREAD INTO A FEDORA-TIER INTER RELIGIOUS DEBATE.
THANKS FOR YOUR COMPREHENSION.

Study religion, read wikipedia. Zoroastrianism is a good start.
>>
I know you said "non-Abrahamic" but the Gnostic takes on God provide a perspective that is largely different from the existing ones.

Also consider Atem-Ra, the short lived monotheistic god of Egypt.
>>
>>54097505
Define 'non-Abrahamic'; I mean, you can't do Zorostranism without some tit trying to put Christianity into it, but it was/is non-abrahamic until bits of it were robbed and transformed into Abrahamic religion.

You could make a blind idiot god in the vein of the Unmoved Mover from Aristotle, but chunks of that were literally lifted into Genesis.

Abrahamic religions, by their nature (and by the nature of almost all surviving religions) incorporate bits from other paradigms into their own existence. I mean, making a non-Abrahamic intentionally is possible, but a lot of suggestions aren't going to work well because they later got integrated.

Basically, you could go with a blind idiot god, a disinterested clock-maker type god, or a god that is literally every being alive in a simultaneous reincarnation loop, and someone would still try to paint Jesus on it.
