So how are Terran Marines compared to Space Marines? Considering the former are the backbone of all Terran factions' armies while the latter are the super-elite spec-ops forces of the IoM, of course.
Also, how would Protoss fare compared with 40k's factions? Maybe compared to the Tau, since their civilizations are probably similar in numbers?
>>54054703
>Terran Marines compared to Astartes
They're not. They are incapable of holding a candle to the Astartes.
>How do the Protoss fare?
Poorly.
>>54054703
Terran marines are basically Imperial Guardsmen with power armor and combat drugs.
>>54054703
Terran marines are essentially sisters of battle, which makes them decent but not amazing.

Whatever the fuck is he getting out of this anyway? Pic pretty much confirms that Amonkhet is little more than a factory. But hte intro here http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/hour-revelation-2017-06-07 strongly suggests that Amonkhet is super important to Bolas regaining his oldwalker powers.
>He had days. Only days until he wouldn't have the magic left to execute this plan. There was just enough time left to put into place the possible means to regain his godhood.
Again, how is an army of super zombies gonna make him an oldwalker again. At least his plan for Alara actually sounded like it had a shot, but this. I just can't see it and it bugs me.

Thread Question:
What's a deck you're either been working on for some time or a general you couldn't quite get working?
>>54049048
>What's a deck you're either been working on for some time or a general you couldn't quite get working?
Reaper King. I've tried building so many variants of the deck but have never stuck to it. It started with some janky Ally tribal deck before BFZ was even announced and I've since tried eggs, ETBs, and other things. Just nothing seems to stick and I've had this foil Reaper King mocking me in my binder for years.
Biggest issue is the mana base, "budget" five color mana bases are dreadfully slow and I don't really want to invest in like a full shockland/fetchland manabase, let alone duals.
>>54049048
>What's a deck you're either been working on for some time or a general you couldn't quite get working?
gw selvala stax has been a multi year project for me it wins in competitive tables but its just not right theres something off about it and I just cant get it to perform the way I know it can.
my 75% angry omnath deck always seems really disappointing also, its so much fun but its so all in on such an expensive commander.
mono black paradox engine has also been a chore I think ive almost got that one working though.
Ive been playing a jori en splinter twin list and thats been an inconsistent mess from day one
>>54049107
>Reaper King
holy shit same
although the biggest problem for me was having the deck do anything when reaper king was out of the field. the deck was mostly changeling creatures, mass flicker spells and some tribal effects, so it couldn't really do anything if reaper king was out of the game. i never built the deck because of that
Do you have any good pictures for where human civilization as we know it has come to an end, yet the people (those that survived at least) don't mind too much and are managing themselves, with bright colors and a warm comfy mood?
How would you do such a setting? What kind of a disaster would bring it forth the best?

/Tg/ My long time group is looking to form a side game, a space theme game.
they don't want Rogue trader, looking for a Firefly style. Small ship, small crew, a job, and the will to keep flying.
Star wars is out, we have a female player who will not do that.
what is the best Space opera game? Traveller if so which edition?
>>54047812
Stars Without Number is an option. Was only able to play 2 sessions of it, but it did what you describe well.
>>54047812
Stars Without Number maybe?
Lady Blackbird is Firefly inspired.
>>54047812
Try Cepheus Engine, ist basically the Mongoose version of classic traveller but with better editing.
Most people who have some experience with traveller will recommend classic traveller or Mongoose Traveller 1e since those are true and tested.
Gurps people will say Gurps traveller is best
then there is a small faction of Mega traveller, but the later two are not as wide spread.
And then there is Mongoose traveller second edition, which seems to be popular with newcomers and people who only have D&D experience... since it feels alot like space DnD. Claims to fix some of the problems from 1e but, while doing that, tears open new ones.
I'm thinking of just taking the primaris pill and shelving my manlet marines.
My army looks dumb on the table fielded with Primaris, like two different brands of different scale action figures. It triggers me and I see no reason fluff wise why the current marines wouldn't take the available Primaris upgrade.
Is it viable? Does anyone else feel the same? Primaris were a mistake.
>>54047432
>Primaris were a mistake.
>But I want a full Primaris army
>>54047432
Yep, I'm doing it. Plus they're great models.
>>54047482
Only a mistake in the way that they make every other unit look dumb.
I'm currently painting a unit of Primaris intercessors and an iron priest; the iron priest looks absolutely pathetic next to the intercessors. I'd rather field an entire army of Primaris rather than look at my pathetic marines.
Just read the Crimson King and it made scratch my head.
The Space Wolves summoned powers that were more than match for the Thousand Sons sorcery. Powerful icy winds smashed into the Thousands Sons sending their reeling. Spiritual wolves leapt at the Thousand Sons tearing their warp shields and savaging them.
Its said that this power comes from Fenris and from within those who are connected to the planet. It's a an awesome power that rivals anything that the Thousand Sons can marshal, and its a power that the Thousand Sons will never understand or harness.
So my questions is...what exactly is the power of Fenris? The people of Fenris believe that this power is divorced from the corruption that is the Warp, that it's a primal and pure power from resonates from Fenris's world soul which happens to be manifest in the form of a giant wolf. Is it true? Is there more worlds like Fenris or is Fenris unique?
>>54044111
Yes it is 100% true. we don't know if it's unique or not. It's never even been brought up again.
>>54044111
As far as we know it's unique, and really bizarre. We have no idea where it comes from in a broader sense, or how, or really why. I mean it's neat and all but makes zero sense in context of what lore there is for the Warp and related things. I mean maybe it means that all chaos worshipers and the Imperium are actually retarded, and just believing that your warp power of choice is actually pure and good will make it so
the yiffs are closet heretics who are tainted by the warp
How do the female members of your party get along with each other?
BFFs? Hate each others guts? Friendly rivalry? Mutual respect?
My lolipire is the only female character. If there was another female, though, I'm not sure how I'd rp the dynamic. You've given me things to think about, OP.
>>54041422
They're both lesbians so that we don't have to RP romance with male PCs/NPCs (it would be kinda gay) but they're not attracted to one another and are just friends.
>>54041506
When in doubt, make her a lesbian or secretly a herm.

I'd say 2-4 but there should be immediate choices with consequences so it's not just a crapshoot of arbitrarily picking a direction. Maybe one door is locked, so for now you'll go looking for a key instead of bashing it down, and one way has a perilous spiked pit so if you have to flee in a hurry that would be troublesome, and the 3rd choice is partially flooded with water so you know that's gonna be some shit.Psionics for sure
Clerics at least give you a good angle for having religious roleplay and have clear ways to advance- favor with their god, favor with their church, recovering holy relics, praying for miracles, etc
psionics are too independent and introspective. You just do whatever and your brain gets bigger and you get more powa and who gives a shit about anything else, right? Of course they don't HAVE to be that way but that's my impression.

Clerics because it furthers the notion that only spellcasters get fun toys.
How would a "realistic" superhero setting look like? I don't think they would wear funny costumes like spiderman.

Prehistoric thread:
>>53929010
It's Da Archive™ !
It Will Be The Best 9 Hours Of Your Gaming Career!
STEP 1 Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. there is lots of stuff, including filled requests directly posted to the board. >>53880572
Files posted directly to 4chan are not added to Da Archive, so go grab them now.
STEP 2 Grab your Documents: Da Archive is multiple documents.
STEP 4 Get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is only about 100 pages long. If you skim over the Personal Collections without looking you will miss 7,000 pdfs.
STEP 7 If you want MORE, the previous threads are all archived in here:
http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/PDF%20share/
There are other 4chan archives somewhere as well.
7chan might also be able to help.
STEP 42
Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) - the more chances someone might recognize it and upload it.
P.S. - Remember, We are Better than all of the rest of the horrible internet and Good Manners ALWAYS gets more results. Wise up or please go elsewhere.
STEP Zillion Please post dead links and I will remove them to keep the archive up to date. Be specific - Include a Page Number -, there are dozens of copies of some Pdfs.
STEP: the Next. If you have a fancy pdf that has unwanted clutter on it, here is one way to clean it.
Contact our resident Transmutation Wizard and politely ask him to clean a pdf. He will set his scrying device to accept pdfs and then you ship it to him. Magic occurs, then the pdf is purified.

Considering the fact that for a good character to become neutral he must commit evil deeds, id the act of neutrality evil in itself?
Likewise for a good character to become evil, he must pass through neutral on his way. This neutral is a gateway to evil.
Conversely, neutral cannot be considered good because good can contain no evil. An evil character who becomes good necessarily passes through neutral but remains evil until he becomes good and is thus fully free of evil.
If your idea of neutral is have a near equal amout of light side and dark side points, then it is more evil to be neutral than good.
If your idea of neutral is that you just really want to make high quality swords then fuck whoever's harassing you for not being "good enough"
>>54058776
Why do so many posters have small images nowadays. Painting is "Saturn devouring his son" by Francisco Goya
I'm having trouble getting my head around the idea of an alignment like true neutral. Surely such an alignment would be better called true evil (or just plain evil) since to maintain such an alignment a character would have to commit good and evil acts in equal measure.
In fact, to do so is quite chaotic so the alignment of True Neutral really seems to fit the definition of Chaotic Evil to me.
