It determines the way NPCs react to your character, how many followers they can have, and is a general measure of their personal magnetism which can guide roleplay.

Remember, good roleplay reflects the abilities of the character, it shouldn't supersede them. A good roleplayer can portray a really unlikable, low charisma character as well as they can the opposite.

>all-around army makeup that would let me handle a variety of situations against a variety of opponents.

then ig is not your style

first you have to decide, do I want to play to win or do I want to play because i like the models and the fluff?

IG are severely outclassed by other factions rn, their infantry is utter shit and their vehicles are easy to destroy

I once wiped out an entire squad of over 10 ig before with a single 50 point librarian using phycic shriek than charging them.

If you do not care that you will loose most matches, and you care more about the fluff then go with whatever makes you happiest, but YOU WILL NOT WIN WITH IG against any serious player.

>>51671975
Can confirm.

>>51671900
I got back into the game in 7th after being a king in 5th. IG blow fat loads now. You will lose a lot. Every bat rep online that has Guard playing pretty much lose 95% of the time.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind.

Later, the Helms were led to the Maxima system to put down a rebellion circa M41.4

The rebels were well-organized and free of Chaos, while the leaders were guilty of criminal mismanagement and corruption

Instead of crushing the rebellion, they chose to intimidate the governor instead and force a peace settlement

After a brief period of restructuring, Maxima was at peace, with the Chapter Master personally overseeing the rebuilding of their defenses, the establishment of a competent PDF and a network of manufactoriums, and the purging of the incompetents within their ranks

Notable events during Reconstruction include the purging of Orks from one of Maxima's moons, fighting alongside a minor Craftworld to repel an Emperor's Children invasion, repelling a Tau offensive and getting them embroiled in a war with a Night Lords warband, and finding a cache of Pre-Heresy equipment

The Maxima system was also exposed to the existence of Chaos via a massive invasion by the Devouring Eye, a minor CSM empire in the sector (which was incorporated smoothly into local religious doctrine as a sort of Satan-like force)

Though stealthy long range fighting was still their forte, the Helms would branch out into multiple different types of warfare, using different chapter tactics as the situation warranted, and awarding the Pre-Heresy equipment as battle honors

They also reached out to Space Marine chapters in adjacent systems, fighting alongside the Rust Angels, Aquamarines and the Warp Specters in multiple campaigns

>>51671928

However, several Inquisitors accused them of heresy- their truce with the Eldar, not pursuing a campaign of genocide against the Tau, their empire-building with their Marine allies, their refusal to suppress Chaos's existence, and their willingness to treat with rebels being evidence against them

Only the intervention of some of their other Inquisitor allies prevented the Minotaurs showing up at their doorstep, but they were sent off planet on a penitent crusade, directly in the path of Abaddon

Out of despair and faced with the prospect of leaving Maxima unguarded, large portions of the 7th and 10th companies fall to Nurgle, but are promptly purged by their colleagues

To make matters worse, a splinter of Hive Fleet Behemoth targets Maxima, and though the sector remains strong, it is unclear when the tide of Tyranids will end and unclear how much longer it can hold out

Though the Helms are hopeful they will be able to return and help their beleaguered people, it is likely they will all die a gruesome death in the battles of the 13th Black Crusade.

You mean marked cards?

>>51671873
No, I just mean more expensive cards with better artwork that last a little longer.

>>51671902
Better artwork on the face or the back?

I've played an older man before. He was from a mining town, began working in his early teens up until his 50's. One day his wife became ill and she wasn't recovering. Her she asked to have her ashes spread at a lake in a distant land. The day she died, my character quit the mines and set off to fulfill her dying wish.

Old characters can be fun. Hard bitten veterans or people past the point of caring, with their best years behind them but the will to go on, to keep trying no matter what.

The few times I've played them I generally end up as the team mom/dad, a caring and protective older figure even if they might be a bit stern, gruff or old fashioned at times.

Yeah, a disgraced defeated hero of sorts. It was a shonen setting so the other characters were kids basically, but they kind of reminded him of his own friends back before they were all beaten or killed together.

>Hey, so I'm getting together with some friends to play an RPG. I have a lot of fun with these and I would love for you to come.

All you really need to say. She might say no, she might say yes. If she says no, try again later. She just might not be that interested and you shouldn't pester.

>>51670691
We've been playing together with this bunch of folks that she knows and trusts for months now, but she prefers thinking that the rules are too confusing and insisting that she wouldn't know how to play.

>>51670658

>her

You don't. You keep her as fucking far away from your table as fucking possible.

I'm pretty desperate to get this idea off the ground with my group.
Kinda hoping I'd get a couple more ideas at a different time.

As someone who threw a fish at an orc in a 5e campaign, 1d4. I got the kill

1d4
If it's big enough, and you don't mind cribbing from 4e, 1d8 for a two-handed fish.

Wait, so what's happening? Using a Gate linked to the bottom of the ocean as a weapon?

>>51670425
Exactly, the thinking is that the pressure created a water jet strong enough to punch a hole through the ogre

Water pressure at the bottom of the ocean is enough to reduce steel barrels to tin cans.

Not sure if that translates into water cutters.

The question remains. Why didn't anyone else do this before?

>>51669249
In the campaign or in general?

I pulled some similar shenanigans playing a kobold rogue in Pathfinder. Small bandit camp with wooden walls, spiked at the top. One or two of the guards fell off trying to put out the fire and impaled themselves.

cont.

The other HM-lover is a gal who's also highly university-educated, and she's a lovely hostess whenever we play at her place, including making food or even baking treats. Suffers very minorly from being the sort of girl who grew up being pretty fucking goth. Fond of rp over crunch, but LOVES to roll up characters, and HM scratches that itch so well, or so she says.
She GM's another HM game, which I also play in, as well as Latinus Cretinus, and she plays in his game as well.

I also GM a HM game, on their asking, having taken over an All-evil campaign that their old GM ragequit from (he's an entire chapter in and of himself).
As an additional player, I also have a guy who, while a good guy IRL, he perfectly plays into Chaotic Neutral Bullshit territory, full of 'it's what my guy would do!', 'I'm just playing my character!' and arguing with me whenever I make a ruling not in his favor. Plus, he keeps practically worshiping the concept of 'lolchaoticrandumb' and keeps pretending all the evil shit he does is just being chaotic.

I'm not blameless either, of course, I'm a literal sperg with severe control freak tendencies.

Let's hear it then.

It's pretty obvious the purpose of this thread is just for your storytime.

I mean, don't stop, but you're not fooling anybody.
