Fuck you I like the name Edition
Discuss Dark Eldar/Drukhari this edition. If you must drew carey post, please contribute to the discussion.
What are your predictions of the rules for the forgeworld tantalus and reaper vehicles?
So I am trying to see it, but I see absolutely no reason to run anything over min squads of anything DE in this edition.
Multiple squads can share transports. A big squad can easily be fucked over by morale. Shooting that kills a squad will not carry over into another squad, so it limits enemy shooting effectiveness. Since characters give arua buffs, multiple squads can benefit from them rather than just 1. Force organization slots are really not an issue anymore with the flexibility of the rulebook detachments.
I get some armies want to do it, like with necron warriors or ork boys, but for DE, I dont see it being necessary.
I guess i am thinking of something like kabalite warriors in a raider. If you want the archon to ride along, you wont be able to do 2 units of warriors and an archon. So if you want to fill the raider, you will need to do a single unit of 9 with the archon.
>>53617122
Shit man, your right! at worst it means I can just dump 5 men on an objective.
>>53617122
what happens when the guard fires on you with flamers or the new space marines hit us with their bolters. I think min-maxing would be a mistake
Which miniature-based wargame system is the most newbie-friendly?
By newbie-friendly I mean best boxed deals for new players, well-thought starter sets, a low entry threshold etc.
>>53613966
X-wing?
Warmachine maybe
Infinity
the answer also depends on what people around play, you don't want to get the best deal but have no games
>>53613966
Infinity, definitely.
X-wings always felt a little... lacking for me. Good game, but I'd never really want it to be MY Wargame, the one I really Grok and obsess over.
Infinity is a nice skirmish level game, so you need less than other games, and there's plenty of opportunities to get third-party stuff and bits to really make it your own. Fairly balanced too.
The only real issue I have with it is general lack of lore and story for me to get into... which should hopefully be rectified when the RPG comes out.
Besides that... Guild Ball probably, in case Steampunk Tabletop Soccer really tingles your testicles.
>>53613966
X-wing by far, but it has an incredibly low model count.
After that, they all kind of suck at having a good/concise method of going from starter to complete collection.

Knightfall.

Tron. Less a question of lands being "protected" or the deck being "too powerful", more that I just don't enjoy playing against it.

A midrangey build of Knightfall, because I miss Bant with blouses.

Eh. Though I feel like draw-go should be more viable that's clearly not what Wizards wants. So I can deal with things as they are.

Or know the rules. Although that one is unfair. Rules in this game are complete clusterfuck.
What effect would having 4 arms have on hand-to-hand combat? What sort of weapons and tactics do you think would prove most beneficial for a four-armed person?
Let's assume that the person is only a little better at multi-tasking than a regular two-armed person (so it's not like they get twice as many actions at full effectiveness). Let's also assume that each individual arm is weaker than that of a normal person of similar fitness, but that two arms working in conjunction are definitely stronger (so they'd suck at two-armed push ups, but rock at four-armed push ups).
Further, let's keep in mind that when you're swinging a sword at somebody, you aren't just moving your arm, but also your body, and that if you were limited to just striking with your arm, you'd be making some awkward, weak-ass attacks. This obviously limits the independence of your arms.
>>53608641
>What effect would having 4 arms have on hand-to-hand combat?
-4 to hit.
One thing that occurs to me is that you could grab onto an enemy (or his shield) with two hands, while still having two hands free to fuck his shit up. If you could hold or pin an enemy with your upper hands, you repeatedly knife him in the sides with your lower ones.
I'm wondering what sort shield(s) would be ideal for you. You could maybe go for a couple of bucklers and be able to cover more area and bash with them wherever your opponent leaves himself open.
You could have a number of different weapons, and actively use whichever one your opponent left himself most vulnerable to. You could hook his leg and trip him with one. You could stab his exposed side with another. You could ensnare his arm or hook his shield with another, and so forth.
>>53608641
Oh, and I guess 4-armed general. Post characters with 4 arms and so forth.

First for the infantry meta coming back
>>53582231
Ret's in kind of a weird place for themes, since so much Ret tech is focused on delivering Sentinels, and Sentinels aren't in any theme.
And then they just released a bunch of new Ryssovass models... and no theme for them. In the book that published two new themes.
So, I dunno. Cygnar's getting a Trencher theme, so all of their "types" of infantry get in at least one theme (well, depending on how the theme treats Long Gunners), so I'd have to imagine Dawnguard and Nyss themes will exist at some point.
>>53584110
Dawnguard theme and Nyss Refugees theme are only a matter of time away though.
Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1977. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

So which system is the Cepheus system closest to rules-wise? I'm working on throwing together my own setting for a campaign, and the Cepheus system was suggested due to it not including all the 3rd imperium stuff, but t would be nice to know which system is closest to it rules wise so I have more pre-existing content to pull from.
Has anyone made any rules for cybernetics/augmentation in CT?
>>53582437
>So which system is the Cepheus system closest to rules-wise?
Both MgT versions are closest to CE.
>>53584672
>Has anyone made any rules for cybernetics/augmentation in CT?
MegaTrav began as an updated/cleaned up version of CT and there is a lot of backward compatibility between the two. DGP's "Traveller Chronicle" magazine for MegaTrav had a multi-part series detailing cybernetics.

A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify

Evoking edition
This is a thread for discussing Monsters and Other Childish Things, Wild Talents, Reign and any other games built on Greg Stolze's One Roll Engine.
>***The System
Roll some d10s. Find matches. The number of matching dice is your Width. The number ON the dice is your Height. So a Set of [5,5,5] has a Width of 3 and a Height of 5, written as 3x5. That's it. Width and Height tell you a lot about your action, such as how fast it was, how strong it was, how precise it was, etc. Everything in the system is built around this fast, simple mechanic.
>***The Games
>Nemesis
A game about cosmic horror using the Madness system invented and popularized by Unknown Armies. It's available for free on ArcDream's website here: http://www.arcdream.com/pdf/Nemesis.pdf
>Godlike
Superhero roleplaying during World War II. Fight supersonic Nazis and invisible French knife maniacs in a brutal setting where you're equally likely to be killed by a mortar blast as from a supervillain.
>Wild Talents
The sequel to Godlike, blowing the doors of the system to let you create any superpower you can imagine. /tg's favorite ORE game.
>Monsters and Other Childish Things
You're a kid with an imaginary monster friend who's real, and you have adventures. Converts nicely to Jojo and Persona.
>Reign
High fantasy roleplaying in a crazy world that would need to have an entire post just about it.
>A Dirty World
Noir at its best. Relentlessly focused on character growth and psychology. A much lighter system than the others.
>Better Angels
You're a supervillain whose power comes from a contract with a demon. Try not to get dragged to hell.

Define "Evoking". like spiritual or fireball evoking?
So I've been working with the manufacturable extra combined with gadgeteering recently, in addition with other powers.
I feel like it's not great for PC powers, but it really does wonders for explaining how certain things exist in a setting.
Health potions? yeah there was this dude that made potions, one of the merchant houses figured out how to mass produce them. They make a killing
Energy shields (ala borderlands)? yeah there was this dude with a really shit shell sort of power, turns out it was pretty close to mundane though, so now its offered in the standard body armor package. Dude's kinda pissed he's basically a normal dude though.
I also gave it to a dude who manipulates plants (and has gadgeteering to represent his ability to modify plants to his liking). When he makes a plant household level available, that means it can grow on its own, which leads to some super fun stuff
