He's an ambiguously Mediterranean man of an ambiguous age, to appropriately cover as many demographics as possible.

At least the Egyptians look like Egyptians rather than going for the WE WUZ KANGZ route.

Iron Warriors. They don't act like retards like the modern day Emperors Children do for instance when their arm turns into a dick, instead amputating chaos growths. Also their reason for turning traitor is more of a thing to do with betrayal, being sent into the thickest fighting but never receiving recognition and then having their planet rebel against them which I suspect was done by Alpha Legion.

>Least favorite
I don't know. Dark Angels for their Primarchs lack of fervent loyalty or motive during the great crusade.

>Salamanders and Crimson Fists
I'm a bit of a sap for more human characters, so Salamanders are a hit for me, and for the Crimson Fists I just love the whole idea of a desperate last stand. Kick-ass paint schemes as well.
>Dark Angels
Their fluff just seems to be trying to be edgy, and it's just kinda off-putting. Mostly, they've just never stood out at all to me. The robes and stuff are cool though.

Fuck off chaosfag.

My setting doesn't have gnomes, because I don't understand why they're still a race.

The handbook of dnd 5e sais that Halflings aren't bothered by insults. It also sais that halflings often think of jokes to be more... entertaining than insulting. This means that Halflings shoudn't mind that much.

Gnomes on the other hand i don't know. They are described as joyfull and somewhat childish, making me think that they won't make a big issue out of it either.

>>51872219
They'd both insist that they're obviously far too tall to be a gnome/halfling.

Sorry but Joe Schmo put an arrow through my leg, and you're not giving us much reason to not just murderbone everyone we meet.

Oh and I'm talking about both oWoD and CofD in the question, so don't just restrict yourself to one iteration.

>>51866345
The obvious first answer is either Mage setting.

I feel like a good rpg could be crafted from Changeling the lost though

>>51866345
Hunter. I have no idea if the Reckoning games are good, but an investigative/action game based on Vigil or Hunters Hunted could be good.

New dwarfs when?

I've always had a soft spot for the old Shadow Elves from Mystara. More weird, less Retarded Evil, and without Ed Greenwood's fetish fuel.
They're basically albino cave elves who long ago fled from a catastrophe that burned the surface world to ash, and survived by hiding deep underground, where they became weird, insular, and xenophobic.
The book's up in the OSR Trove in the TSR Basic stuff.

>>51853339
You posted it senpai.

>>51853339
Certainly not Dunmer. They are too much their own thing than just "dark elves". You can only call them this because of their skin.

It's pretty neat.I really wish the public interest was greater in regards to space research. So many people just seem disinterested

>>51852496
>that many earth like planets so close
Once world war 3 ends, the renewed space race begins

>>51852601
I guess the interests rise when the old mudball becomes too hot for comfort.

But on topic: a far future scifi setting located on Trappist-1 coukd be pretty neat, where party could hop on planet to planet without pesky ftl. Could even be "fantasy" setting.

The continent of the setting is named Bryss. It is a large continent, shaped like a stretched hand. The southern peninsulae and islands are home to most civilized folk. They have the mildest winters half of the year, and a wet, spring-like season the other half. Agriculture is possible here without the need of magical interference.

These southern lands are fractured in many independent countries, most owned by humans. Other races do maintain a presence, though.

The central plains are more inhospitable. Dense forests and gargantuan planes make it a vast wilderness to survive in. The actual countries ruling here often use magic to sustain their crops, yet mostly nomads and tribes inhabit this area.

The true north is a wasteland of ice, mountains and wild magic. Large beings of snow and ice roam here, preying on what warm meat they can get. Only underground and evil sapients manage to survive here, with some notable exceptions.

I'll start drawing a map soon.

The Shaggy Wyrm is a commonly feared creature across the realms.

Resembling a small, legless Wyvern covered in shaggy fur, these poisonous creatures prefer to hibernate in trees, for this reason logging teams consider a boar spear just as necessary as an axe or saw before attempting to fell trees.

"A wyvern in the tree" is a common expression used to convey a hidden 'catch' in a deal or agreement not beneficial for one party.

The Shaggy Wyrm's hide (with coat attached) is a sought after trade item, as well as the mark of a questing knight whose wealth lies in his arms and accoutrement rather than in coin.

Never contributed to one of these before, how'd I do?

Kicking it off with my now finally finished OOP deff dread, show your WAAAGH! face.

Just got finished priming my Engineer's guild for Guild Ball.

Steamforged makes some wonderfully detailed minis, but they can't do contact points for shit.

I almost lost my god damned mind trying to get a single arm on a mini to stay in fucking place.

It's all done now and I have to paint, problem is the minis are so fucking heavy and the poses so dynamic, they won't stay upright when shoved in sticky tack to use as a base for manipulating the mini when painting.

What do you bro's recommend for keeping a mini to a base (like a pill bottle or something) when painting for manipulation when sticky tack doesn't cut the mustard?

>>51868580

Congrats, I got Tetanus just from looking at that thing. I got the feeling that is what you were going for, and if that is the case, fucking nailed it.

Best girl, needs Kreia route.

>>51828898
Yes.

>>51828898
Without a second thought.

If you don't know the Thousand Rolls Ritual and the Verses of Polyhedrons by heart already, my only answer for you is to lurk more newfag.

>>51875455

This kind of shit belongs on >>>/x/

There's no spooky shit that will work, other than these holy rituals here: http://www.wikihow.com/Load-Dice

>>51875455
First, set your dice in a large, clear bowl on the couch. Make sure they have plenty of space to move around in.
Second, force them to marathon Jim Carey movies.
Third, shake them around in the bowl, sprinkling salt and holy water while chanting the 20 Prayers of Polyhedrous.

After about 12 hours, your dice will behave. Put them in the freezer over- night and they'll be better in the morning.

I love tau

>>51875009
Me, too. I enjoy playing them.

>>51874253
So jjba and space marines?

>>51874472
hopefully not as confusing

>>51874253
Wait just for clarification is it 1/5 per monster or 1/5 total and 1/20 per monster? What is the magic level of the setting, and does this god actually exist?
