What's your credit card information

what the hell is FLGS

>>51062445
I believe it's the Imperial Guard through power of deduction. The Imperials won, but the Space Marines were decimated but Boreale survived. The Sisters supposedly killed everyone involved, so it couldn't be them.

>>51062546
I believe the sisters' win implies they released prisoners.
>boreale survived
...what? I knew there were survivors, but I don't think boreale was one of them.

>>51062564
I might be wrong about that bit, I know with all the information the sisters are counted out. I don't remember all of it though.

I like 4e and 5e.

band names for an all-bard party?

Cyclops anon, your moon druid shouldn't be able to die to the cyclops, so long as he picks a good form and doesn't try anything funny. He, the fighter, and the paladin should divide the badguy's attention enough to let your blasters wear him down.

Genestealer Cults and Skitarii/AdMech sit at about the same level of quality for me, with basically the same reasons you posted for both. Not only that but the two factions seem to be somewhat immune to the bullshit 'but my race is better than yours' syndrome some of the others' are suffering from right now.

>>51058794

I'm not satisfied with the storm troopers


This and Skritali were amazing modern additions

>>51058794

It's just another flavor of Tyranids/Genestealers. I don't know how you can complain about "too many marine rehashes" when they just do another fucking rehash.

They could have done a completely new faction instead, like AdMech or Knights was. As is, GSC is still just a fucking shitty rehash, just like marine shit, just like Harlequins, just like MT, no matter how much you GSCfags like them, you fucking hypocrites.

template. I chose not to sylise the card designes so that they're easy to make

>>51057186
The ones who lose don't survive to adapt.

But really it's just a Xenomorph ripoff designed to help sell models.

>>51057186
Space Magic and hand waving. What the writer decides they ought to be. The ones that adapted didn't get into contact with the ones that lost or the race adapted faster. They don't, or with brute force.

>>51057186
>How the fuck does it work?

The Hive Mind can change the genetic blueprints of new Tyranids before they're spawned, considering how vast of an 'entity' it is and the amount of information it has on biological structure it's pretty trivial for it to change an existing bioform or create a new one to suit the situation.

>What exactly are the limits?

Don't know, we know that the Hive Mind can create entirely new forms based off of previously assimilated races, but it's never gone in-depth as to how adaptable it actually is.

> and why do the tyranids still lose to factions that they've beaten and adapted to before?

It's not plot armour, it's minor realistic adaptation, Tyranids that have fought Tau aren't immune to Tau weapons, their carapace is just slightly better at dealing with plasma and they're probably weaker but faster. Remember, adaptation isn't some magic thing where you can just adapt to fight every race at once, it's specialisation, and specialising too much is a military error in calculation.

>And how the fuck do tyranids counter shit like necrons and chaos, that aren't biological at all?

You don't need the opponent's genetic structure to adapt to them, it just helps. That being said Tyranids actually have a hard time adapting to Necron weapons and technology because it just screws with practical designs so hard due to being bullshit-tier, meanwhile it depends on what kind of Daemons/Chaos they're fighting (for example, they may start creating more smaller synapse creatures to strengthen the synapse web and Shadow, preventing the Daemons from abusing gaps and clashes as easily.)

>>51056961
Not technically, but some probably have defacto control. Especially after deposing a corrupt governor one might take up leading the planet until they're done searching the higher escalons for other corruption and picking a new governor.

>>51056961
Torquemada Coteaz might be the closest thing in the fluff.

I'll do my new Genestealer Cult. Recently came up with their fluff, so I'm anxious to see what people think of it.

>The Heralds of the Tyrant are a strange Genestealer Cult. Rather than be based upon a planet, hiding in secret in the hidden passageways and under-hives, the Heralds seized control of a Rogue Trader ship they have renamed the "Tyrant's Beacon." Seeing it as their sacred duty to lead their gods to as many planets as possible, and to spread the faith as wide as possible, the Heralds now act as pirates, raiding ships to infect the passengers, creating new cults once those ships reach their destination. This has led the Heralds to be a very wide spread cult, with small sects in almost all segmentums. Further complicating matters, whenever the Tyrant's Beacon finds a Hive Fleet Tendril, it will draw its attention and begin leading it towards any nearby planets, bringing doom to worlds that might not have had Genestealer Cults at all. And while the Heralds regret they cannot stay to join in overthrowing the human population there, they know they have a sacred duty, and once the final planet in the Milky Way Galaxy is overflowing with Tyranids, they will finally be able to meet their gods and earn their ascension after giving the same gift to so many others.

Got a nice Scion army I was fluffing up a bit actually

>61st Galactic Griffons
>Basically have Ultramarine blue colors with gold trim
>Specialize in ship to ship boarding and orbital drop situations
>Compared to to most Scion regiments the 66th make use of Ogryns and Rattlings in their ranks
>Bullgryn bodyguard for the Tempestor Prime while the rattlings provide sniper support
>Some rattlings even operate taurox primes
>Said rattlings hated the tread wheels on the Taurox so they pulled a few strings to get their transports upgraded chassis and tires
>This entire situation didnt go right with the local Skirtiali detachment in the sector
>Even with complaints the rattings and storm troopers actually prefer the tires
>a popular rumor amongst the soldiers is the question to whether or not one of the Scion sergeants is a Catachan
>The commissars dismiss this of course but some soldiers have rumored to seeing a bright red bandanna under the sergeants beret
>Currently the 61st is in a campaign agasint Tau and Eldar in a far off sector
>In their mission agasint the Tau Scions and their commissars board Tauroxs with Valkyrie support and crash right into Tau settlements
>Order is to cause chaos and kill all xenos on sight
>Currently however the situation has blown out of control with the discovery of a genestealer hiding amidst the Tau
>Eldar are currently moving in with the Tau calling for reinforcements but there is a possibility that a full on tyranid invasion is on its way

Not the best but I wanted to base this around the local armies that I am currently fighting at my FLGS

I'm just getting into 40k.
R8/H8
>Spending centuries in the outskirt slums of Commorragh, Archon Andrhea Mastris staved off the hunger by making herself useful, innovating and creating new and better tools, contraptions, and drugs to elicit more powerful and intense sensations of both agony and bliss. Eventually, she rose to power, gaining her own Kabal, the Kabal of the Corrupted Life. Her organization came to be known for the quality of her instruments, and it wasn't long before she caught the attention of Aestra Khromys, Mistress of the Order of the Obsidian Rose. Rather than enter into a potentially bloody gang war, Andrhea suggested a business partnership, and for now, she works as a lieutenant under her, leading her own raids in her mistress' name. On the streets of Commorragh, the Corrupted Life is now synonymous with highs thought lost since the Fall, but in realspace, very few worlds that have felt the touch of her gleaming, armored foot have ever been the same, for despite all her beauty, the yellow sails of her raiders spell certain, painful doom for her victims...after all, she needs SOMEONE to be her guinea pigs...

Arkham Horror is a good game, but it is not a good game to start with.

You should not sleeve your games until you find out if you are going to play it enough to matter. It increases the cost, bulk, weight of the game a good deal. Really, it isn't needed unless you are going to play that game often.

Eldritch Horror is a bit more accessible game that is very much like Arkham Horror. I would suggest going with that first. However, it is also a very heavy game and a poor first choice in my opinion.

There is a board game general up, try asking over there.

>>51055067
Just use a single sleeve. You can get Fantasy Flight sleeves for $3 for a pack of 50 at your LGS or Mayday sleeves for $2.50 for a pack of 100 but they aren't manufactured as well and are rather thin.
>>51055226
I always sleeve right away. They don't cost much and you can always just take the sleeves off if you don't like them and then use them for another game.

>>51055292
To add onto this. I use fantasy flight mostly myself but I have used Mayday before, they aren't nearly as nice.

Start prepping a long time in advance, as to not have any of the mental strain of the 2 weeks prior "SHIT I GOTTA FINISH HALF MY COSTUME".

Besides that I'd say play non-combat roles as you said, actually look into a merchant caste on the event. If it ain't there yet all the beter, because this gives you a monopoly and a pretty cool much-needed RP function in camp. Heck you can do all kinds of cool stuff, from actual bed-selling inn-keeper (does need a whole lot of stuff but we had it) to older noble on a retraite from his last campaign. Here solely to drink wine and poke fun at the young'uns.

Play a blacksmith or other craftsman. Set up a tent in the middle of town somewhere, get a counter and a comfortable chair, and ask the crew if you can start the game with some merchandise and ores. You can comfortably sit in your chair all day without anyone batting an eye, and more importantly without fear of being sidelined. Whenever things become a bit too much, just head inside to 'repair an item' and take a nap.

Now, setting all that up pre-game and tearing it down post-game might prove a little troublesome. Do you maybe have some friends from your old larping time that could help?

>>51054650

Just sounds like you're fat and lazy desu

I like it! Solving the mystery of where the ruins came from would be a great plot line

>>51053678

Planets are a form of life, and the clearly patterned designed ruins are nothing but organs, and the creatures inside nothing but gut bacteria.

Ayy lmaos

my book came out of Isle of Blood. it was small and softcover and more orange than red.

...i don't belong here *sob*

What would you say to putting one or two dioramic backgrounds on larger-base models or whole movement trays?

For instance I want to put night sky shots behind my Bat Swarms

>>51053484
You forgot to add No End Times to the OP. Why change the copypasta? The only change we agreed to last thread was to add Return of Reckoning, and that's missing.

It's called sustainable forestry.

Mined coal and magma.

>>51053529
How do they mine down to the coal/magma in the first place without metal tools?
