Eccentric, grandiose men of fortune whose tales are always exaggerated. Mercenaries, tomb-robbers, great warriors and men of renown!

If you haven't seen it, go watch Dwayne Johnson's Hercules for a great way to make 'heroes' as a concept work in a more historical setting. The key is making them genuinely badass, but never quite as badass as the tales that spread about them.

This works equally well for spellcasters, who even if they're limited to weak ritualistic magic [or even no magic at all] can get by to some extent on superstition alone.

Samee as with professionals soldiers/mercenaries of the time.

NEETs who never learned a profitable skill. Troublemakers! or rich kids wasting their family money on playing at glory.

Viewed as little better than hobos (albeit sometimes very richly dressed hobos). They travel from town to town and engage in violence and tomb robing, and who often have the gal to try and charge the locals for the privilege.

I am a PBTA fag, at this pasta is triggering me.

How are we supposed to familiarize ourselves with that clusterfuck of random rules and abstract concepts?

I think you need to do a clean sheet redesign from the base chassis rather than messing with an existing config, because there's not enough room to fit so many DHS. Even if you remove the arm actuator, the tonnage isn't there.

The High Lords note the danger the Imperium is in with the emergence of the traitor Primarchs and they unleash the Sisters of Silence.

They have the power to "unmake a god". We have seen Sisters threatening to perma-kill daemons before. Obviously, this is a hint that one of the Traitor Primarchs is going to die at their hands. Which of the Daemon Primarch gonna get it from the Sisters? I hope it's Lorgar. He is pointless with Be'lakor around.

Cloak-and-scythe Death God. Yes, much more original and interesting.

I think it looking Slaaneshi is a good thing. It's Slaanesh's younger sibling after all, the bright mirror to Slaanesh's darkness, and the design reflects that.

>>51692604
It's idiotic. The model could be put in a slaneshi army and not look out of place.

And yes the Grim Reaper god being the closest thing to a good guy in the setting is very 40k. A Slannesh rehash is awful

>>51693690
The avatar is visually similar to slaanesh in certain ways in order to reflect how the same impulses and aspects that live at the core of all Eldar were what birthed Slaanesh to begin with. But the gods themselves are different, and suggesting that a spoopy grim-reaper knockoff would make a better death god is terrible.

I thought Robbie and co. would be going up for order

What a disappointment THAT was

>rules for these look really fun
>not only do I have no interest in the actual models, but they're horribly priced even by GW standards
>feel like if I don't buy them then GW will think people don't like them and won't make more things with fun rules like them

I show them as stupid, unintelligent sheeple they are, easily defeated by an enlightened mind.

Asian religions aren't Cosmological like Christianty or Islam, they are more about daily habits and attitudes.

Will-am-alone
>The Will-am-alone is a quick little animal, like a squirrel, that rolls in its fingers in poison-lichens into balls and drops them into the ears and on the eyelids of sleeping men in the camp, causing them to have strange dreams and headaches and to see unusual objects in the snow. It is the hardest drinkers in the camp who are said to be most easily and most often affected by the poison. Can be fatal when mixed with those liquors made in prohibition states

Side-hill winder
>More odd than this animal is the side-hill winder, a rabbit-like creature so called because he winds about the steep hills in only one direction; and in order that his back may be kept level, the down-hill legs are longer than the uphill pair. He is seldom caught; but the way to kill him is to head him off with dogs when he is corkscrewing up a mountain. As the winder turns, his long legs come up on the uphill side and tip him over, an easy prey. His fat is the cure for diseases caused by will-am-alone, but to eat its flesh is to die a hard and sudden death.

Ding-ball
>much to be dreaded is the ding-ball, a panther whose last tail-joint is ball shaped and bare of flesh. With this weapon it cracks its victim's skull. There is no record of a survival from the blow of a ding-ball. In older traditions it sang with the voice of a human, thus luring the incautious from their cabins to have their sconces broken in the dark. It is fond of human flesh, and will sing all night for a meal of Indians.

Hibou blanc
>where the French Canucks are employed at chopping, you must look to see them all quit work if a white owl flies from any tree they are felling; and they must not look back nor speak to it, for it is a ghost and will trouble them unless they leave that part of the wood for fully thirty days.

Windigo
>But the worst of all is the windigo, that ranges from labrador to moosehead lake, preferring the least populous and thickest wooded districts. A Canadian Indian known as Sole-o'-your-foot is the only man who ever saw one and lived-- for merely to look upon the windigo is doom, and to cross his track is deadly peril. There is no need to cross the track, for it is plain enough. His footprints are twenty-four inches long, and in the middle of each impress is a red spot, showing where his blood oozed through the hole in his mocassin; for the windigo, dark and huge and shadowy as he seems, has yet a human shape and many human attributes. That belief in this monster is so genuine that lumbermen have secured a monopoly of certain jobs by scaring competitors out of the neighborhood through simple device of tramping past their camp in fur covered snow shows and dropping a bead of beef blood in each footprint. The stealthy stride of the monster makes every lumberman's blood run cold as the Androscoggin under its ice roof, and its voice is like the moaning of the pines.

Gazerium and Snydae
>From Maine comes news of two extinct creatures, the Gazerium and the Snydae. Both, according to Richard G. Kendall, a specialist in unearthly zoology highly esteemed in that state, were found only along the Kennebec river, and were favorite delicacies of the Kennebec Indians and had but two legs forward and only one aft, and that it fed chiefly upon the Snydae, which were minute forms of marine life. The Snydae, in turn, fed upon the eggs of the Gazerium, so the two species gradually exterminated themselves. He adds: "The Kennebec usually cooked the Gazerium in deep fat. It tasted something like French-Fried potato, with just a hint of flavor of cocktail sauce imparted to it by its died of Snydae.

Come-at-a-Body
>Reported by Mr. B. B. Bickford of Gorham, the N. H. Not found outside the white mountains. A short, stubby, rather small animal, resembling a woodchuck but having very soft, velvety, kitten-like fur. Harmless, but surprising. Has the terrifying habit of suddenly rushing directly at you from the brush, then stopping only a few inches away and spitting like a cat. A strong mink like scent is thrown, and the Come-at-a-Body rushes away.
