I believe the Alcubierre Warp Drive doesnt produce time dilatation.

>How would be an OP that considers and accepts the full consequences of grammar including punctuation and syntax violations?

But pedantic faggotry aside, it would get messy quickly, like most things with time-travel. It's the main reason most FTL methods cheat and sidestep the c limit.
Time dilation from near-c travel is much less of a headache though

>What's the best current nemesis and what's the most promising new nemesis?
For current nemeses, I haven't played expansions but in the core game I have a love and hate relationship with the King's Man. Fuck that guy so much. Go be a tin soldier somewhere else. Feels so good to finally beat that fucking shitstain asshole.

For new ones, I'm looking forward to the Red Witches the most. They've got real potential.

How high should survival limits be around LY10? My current campaign has 4 and it feels really low when not using rawhide.

>>51175117
Thats low, you should be innovating every year almost, prioritizing survival limit and survival actions, especially early.

I will optimize. I don't mind when others do too.

I like it when everyone is useful and contributes, but I find it thematically fun when some PCs are much better at fighting then others.

Like, Average Fighting, Average Fighting, Poor Fighting [Great Support], the Incredible Hulk is my ideal party, even if I'm not the Hulk.

I haven't had much time during the move for modelling, and I don't have a station set up for it yet. My chain did arrive though so I sat in a corner sorted out the reins. Incoming awful quality picture because I can't find my camera in all of these boxes.

All going well, I'll be making four of these, with at least a driver and a bowman. What's the opinion on the banners? They look a bit cluttered with three grots smushed on, but would anyone moan if I don't have banners on them because of the Wolf Totem rule?

How big is the AoS playerbase in your area?

For me it is just me and my closest friends, but just half an hour away is a larger gaming club in the city with some players in it, and the local GW store as well.

Anons I need your advice.
I have an old army of Bretonnians from back before I switched to 40k and was wondering if they're even viable or allowed in Age of Sigmar anymore? Couldn't find any of the models on the GW store which just makes me sad to see them go.

The solution is simple.
Give all of the monsters guns too.

Well, would the monsters be killed by usual rockets or machine guns? Monsters are magical and could easily shrug off such blows.

You know that short tunic that you always see Studio Ghibli samurai wearing? Like that, but with pants. Short, light, plain, not going to get snagged on anything, and somewhat resistant to wear and tear. Perfect for people who have to trudge through the wilderness.

Bad math on your part.

An Earth 3 Forest killer has 18 wounds while healthy (Earth 3 x 5 + 3 Stamina). 19 damage and you are Nicked for a +3 TN penalty. all other wound ranks are 9 wounds.

An IR 1 Air 3 Void 3 Iaijutsu 3 Kakita bushi is going to beat you silly.

7k4+3 (36.7 ave) versus your 3k3+2 (18.5 ave) (untrained); Kakita knows 5 pieces of info on you and gets a +1k1 to Focus.
9k6+3 (50.4 ave) versus your 3k3+2 (18.5 ave) (untrained); Kakita wins and gets 6 Free raises.
8k5+3 (43.7 ave) versus your 25 Armor TN (Reflex 3 for the benefit of the doubt), calls 3 Raises for extra damage and assigns all 6 free raises to extra damage; hits with +9k0 to damage.
14k2 -> 10k4 (38.9 ave) damage puts you into Hurt for a +10 TN penalty.

Today marks 100 years since the Battle of Rafa, the third and final battle to complete the recapture of the Sinai Peninsula by British forces during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War. The Desert Column of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) attacked an entrenched Ottoman Army garrison at El Magruntein to the south of Rafa, close to the frontier between the Sultanate of Egypt and the Ottoman Empire, to the north and east of Sheikh Zowaiid. The attack marked the beginning of fighting in the Ottoman territory of Palestine.

In the wake of their defensive stand at Romani in August 1915, British Commonwealth forces under General Sir Archibald Murray began pushing across the Sinai Peninsula. Due to the harsh desert terrain, the pace of the advance was governed by the construction of a railroad and water pipeline to support the troops. Reaching El Arish, mounted forces under Major General Sir Henry Chauvel captured Turkish fortifications at Magdhaba on December 23rd. Eager to complete the conquest of the Sinai, Murray sought to force the Turks out of Rafa, near the Egyptian Sinai-Palestine border. On January 8, 1916, Murray assigned this task to Chauvel's Anzac Mounted Division.

The commander of the Desert Mounted Column, Lieutenant General Philip Chetwode, rode with Chauvel's men to oversee the assault. Near Rafa, the Turks had constructed a defensive position at El Magruntein, anchored on a rise known as Hill 255. Building four redoubts, they placed one atop the hill and the others to the west, south, and east. These were dubbed redoubts A, B, and C.

Approaching Rafa on the morning of January 9 with the 1st & 3rd Australian Light Horse Brigades, the 5th Yeomanry Brigade, the New Zealand Light Horse Brigade, and three battalions of the Imperial Camel Corps, Chetwode worked to isolate the garrison by cutting the telegraph lines to Gaza.
