A modernized and standardized artificer armour? A stop-gap between regular power armour and terminator armour?

None of the above, it's brand new. It gives +1T

>A Reiver Squad is a close combat Primaris Space Marine unit, that wears skull faced helms and is equipped with silent power armour, that has been adapted for stealth work. They wield combat knives, power swords and heavy bolt pistols and have had their left pauldrons enlarged, in order to provide them with better protection in melee combat.[1]

...why the hell would a massive left pauldron provide any sort of advantage?
The aggressors sound decent though.
How does one design a lich that isn't just visually uninteresting? Every "decayed corpse" lich I've seen illustrated looks like shit. Skeletal liches seem like the ideal, but all skeletons pretty much look the same.
>>53619446
>all skeletons pretty much look the same.
You goddamn racist.
Individualize them based on personality. You choose your clothes, makeup, hairstyle etc. based on what you like/can afford/have gotten. Why wouldn't a lich do the same?
My main Lich decorated his skull with magical gems so that he retained darkvision and other effects, as well as to accessorize. He has runes etched into his bones so that he never has to worry about a spellbook but has them set up in a stylish way.
This is not a problem with liches, it's a problem with creativity.

Very nice.
My players are fucking annoying and really making me not want to run my campaign anymore. What should I do /tg/?
Without going into needless detail, the campaign is about mercenaries going around doing mercenary things. My GMPC was one of these mercenaries and was doing his own missions and stuff off screen, occasionally showing up during missions the players were taking. He became pretty good friends with one of the PCs as the game went on, and I was having a lot of fun playing with character and writing his story arc.
During the last session, a PC accepts a mission to kill another top tier merc, and my GMPC was going to show up in the middle of it to help him since the encounter was basically unbeatable in a 1v1. But in the middle of the fight, the player decides he doesn't want to kill the target and instead wants to just capture her alive (I'm pretty sure he wants some retarded romance subplot with the NPC which is why I decided to write her out of the story so I could avoid all this in the first place). This was a problem because my GMPC was really determined to just kill the bitch off since he never backs down from a job. Eventually the two take her down, and my GMPC is about to go execute her since the PC is hesitating to do it, but then he spergs out and starts attacking me. I thought since they were best friends that he'd listen to reason and stop but then he actually goes all in and just kills my guy like it was nothing, even though he was holding back and trying to nonlethally subdue the PC.
I ended the session there because I just didn't feel like playing anymore after it set in that my favorite character was dead, and that I'd have to rewrite half the plot to accommodate for it and also have to deal with him trying to waifu the girl now that he "saved" her or whatever.
How would you handle this /tg/? I think I'm gonna just restart the campaign with a new group that can actually take things more seriously.
>GMPC
There is your problem
>>53618692
It's the players actions that matter, not your plans. If you're a GM worth your salt, roll with the fucking punches.
Also, it seems like you were way, way too attached to your GMPC. It might be a good thing they were killed of, so you can't use them as a crutch.
Hey Jim. Did you forget that half of us browse this board?
So melta guns are basically death rays, right?
That seems simple enough.
But what about grav weapons?
How the fuck do they work? What do they actually do?
>>53618556
You've got it backwards. Grav are rays, meltas are either plasma stream projectors or masers, depending on what fluff you read.
>>53618556
fucking magnets how do they work?

Death Guard tested out their new knives, Primarchs are reverse Fisher Kings and Sanguinius got himself a makeover. A Vorax is obviously charismatic when compared to parody Wolf names and the Reductor read some Iain M Banks. Increasing autistic arguments about Magnus, the Emperor and 8e continued to disrupt bread comfiness and some of the Stormwhales turned to Nurgle. All this and more in the last thread >>53587057

First for fuck you, we'll argue and get mad over what we like.
Has anyone ever fought any custom missions or similar 30k games? If so, please do tell. I want to try designing some, but I'm slightly worried they'll be imbalanced as fuck.
According to the Dark Imperium Macragge's Honour and Gauge were absent for all Heresy since Calth :(.
So a lot of potential issues have been pointed out with the new edition. But I've always believed in the mantra of "Don't give me problems, give me solutions".
So instead of just complaining, what changes would you make to 8th ed to make it better? What do you think should be changed/kept/removed/brought back and how would you make it work?
>>53618068
>"Don't give me problems, give me solutions".
Sell everything 40k, if you ride the hype wave right, you should be able to make your money back and cut even. Put thus acquired money into a better game.
>>53618068
Potential issues:
Flyers sniping characters.
Transports leaving their passengers behind as they charge into combat.
Flamers being the ultimate anti-air weapon.
Vehicles being just as tough in the front as the rear.
Anybody think of any other issues pointed out so far?
>>53618143
The rules for shooting flyers are absolutely stupid. They need to at the very least further reduce bs vs flyers.

I know people post these as bait threads, but that if only made it more bizarre when it actually happened in person. It didn't bother me that much, but I just thought it was a weird boulder to stand on is all.
I've never once encountered this.
I always alter my prehistoric beasts somewhat.

Wouldn't be the first time.
So for the sake of trying something new and my unashamed love for the Imp Guard i wanted to make a infantry only army. No mounted troops, no mechs, no armor, just foot slogging men and women with a lot of cardboard and flashlights.
The thing is... I could use a little help. As i wouldnt have all the big guns that tanks provide what should i take to make up for it?
The limit is 2500 points (local game shops typical game size)
>>53616468
weapons teams
personally I would recommend using a renegades and heretics army for this because in 7th you could use the master of the horde warlord special rule combined with the unending host detachment where you could have 30 man squads and all squads of 15+ men could redeploy on the board mid game on a roll of a 2+ if they are destroyed
also their troops are cheaper than traditional guard
you arent required to take any chaos covenants and you could use commissar models as enforcers, psykers as rogue pskers, etc.
>>53616578
That could work. Though i would rather go with imps over chaos I'll take a look either way. Thanks.
>>53616468
you are doing it wrong the imperial guard is all about it's armor and fortifications. they are not worth jack shit without their heavy machines.
How can Fulgrim be so based?
>>53609993 #
>“Swift as a striking viper, Fulgrim attacked, all four blades driving down at his brother primarch so quickly that they did not seem to pass through the intervening air. Guilliman caught them on the edge of the Gladius Incandor. Its field generator smoked at the effort of halting them. The resulting eruption of energy threw both primarchs backwards.
Fulgrim attacked again. Guilliman cried out as one blade found its way past his parries and left a smoking groove in the ceramite around his left arm. He would not win this fight.
‘Thiel, Andros,’ voxed Guilliman. ‘Now.’
There was a sound like a sigh that turned into a rumbling groan. The Heliopolis boomed with conflicting resonances, and the Phoenix Gate exploded inwards, showering the room with gobbets of molten bronze. The Ultramarines of the First and Second companies came charging in, bolters firing at the daemon primarch battling their lord.”
>“At last! Your true colours,’ said Fulgrim. ‘For all your talk of honour, you will not face me alone!"
Girlyman BTFO
>>53616325
Guilliman was always a third tier fighter, compared to Fulgrim who was one of the best.
“Join with me,’ said Fulgrim seductively. ‘You must be tired of all this strife. We can bring an end to war, and revel together in sweet excess for all eternity. I can show you things, pleasures, you would never have dreamed existed. You think of the warp as a hell, but it can be a heaven also."
What did he mean by this
I want my combat to be FAST.
Is this a good idea?

1d6 = 4
1d8 = 5
1d10 = 6

Any other ways I could make it faster?

Don't you have to use a weapon in combat to get the special rule? You can't use both sets simultaneously so you only get the +1A for one set.
How long until the other mechanius try to lynch his ass for beign a heretek?
Would they even succeed?
>>53610107
>tfw he was a cron plant all along
>>53610107
Since Gullimän is supporting him, i'm pretty sure that most other magos would think twice before busting his ass, even though they might still see him as a heretek. I don't think killing the Emperor II's favourite dispenser would go well with the Imperial high command, it might even spark a civil war.
