>Moved to the LoW slot
Nah, LoW is for characters that in a league of their own, and giant vehicles.
Scoria is an Archmagos, hugely important - yes, very powerful - true. But Archimandrite are the rulers of entire Forgeworlds too, an they're HQs.
Meanwhile, the Primarchs are so hugely above the Marines they command and unlike anything else in the legions.

Remember to post your shit and not to be cunts.

Nearly done with my very first squad of Bitter Boys. Only one dude left and I'll do the Sergeant.

>The question I pose is what would you expect of a faction called Heroes of the Sun?
It depends on what the significance of the sun is in your game. What are your themes and where does the sun fit into those?

>>50532606
I expect them to be masters of karate and friendship for everyone.

>>50532657
The sun is worshiped as a gift from the gods, it doesn't have a huge significance, but it's largely appreciated

I'm posting this for a third time because there's still discussion going on. I suppose that's no great sin here, though...

If it's humans, probably the one with several competing nations since humans without an out-group challenge become lazy and corrupt.

Either can be rationalized for story purposes, and no single economic framework is exclusive to either option.

>>50531517
No, but that's something to consider. It's an interesting character dynamic.

Considering they're used for entirely different purposes, in different spheres of engagement, at different times/intensities in conflict, no.

Also, in WH40k specifically, air support and powered armour infantry are shown to co-exist.

>>50531171
I think I saw an article on io9 or something a few years ago about how the US military is currently trying to develop powered human+ sized exoskeletons. Mostly for un/off-loading stuff I think, but apparently they were thinking in terms of armour also.
So I guess not. I mean... If it's happening irl.

No more than regular infantry.

Well, that's a little better. Though it would still be better if the dungeon was living and could re-arrange itself at will.

“Because the history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.”
...Did I mention I really like Jurassic Park? Maybe I should branchinate and do a Terribe Dinosaur Thread at some point...

But I digress. The point is, that life not only survives, but thrives, in the deep sea. For a given value of thrives. It is certainly an extreme environment, and animals living there have had to develop all sorts of special adaptions just to survive. Many of which also result in bizarre and outlandish, often outright nightmarish, appearances.

First, there's the pressure. This is actually pretty easy. Water creates a pressure field that is the same at every direction. A hollow object, like a submarine, will have comrpessive force applied to its surface from all sides and implode unless its is extremely sturdy (bathyspheres and such have several inch thick steel walls). If, however, you body is of similar sensity and composition to water, there is no difference between internal and extrernal pressure and the pressure field passes through you undisturbed. So most deep sea creatures has watery, gelatinous flesh.

The bigger problem is lack of, well, anything. There's no plants so, aside from a few spots in the ocean floor where there's hydrothermal vents that allow chemothropic life, the entire ecosystem is reliant on scraps falling down from the surface waters. The oxygen content is also lower than on surface.
To save energy, pretty much everything unnecessary has to go! Streamlining is the way forward! Reduce size, reduce the amount of energy-intensive muscles, get rid of all the fancy stuff that uses energy and you don't absolutely need to survive!
But you can't really make a zero-energy fish, so your fish still needs to eat something. And because the deep sea is so huge and empty, finding something to eat is hard.

There's no point in making these threads if you just mindlessly reiterate yourself over and over again.

Either talk about different creatures then last time, such as isopods or squids, or discuss different topics to last time.

This isn't meant to be an insult or anything but I don't see the point in you just repeating yourself.

...And now we get to the whole "deep sea horrorfish" territory, and why we also call the deep sea "underwater vore hell" (at least here on /tg/; I'm not the one who coined the term, but I find it appropriate). Because food is so rare, the deep sea foodchain is less of a chain and more of a...I don't know, a weird tangled mess. On the surface you got phytoplankton (microscopic algae) that produece energy from photosynthesis, small invertebrates that eat the algea, small fish that eat them, bigger fish that eat the small fish, and even bigger fish that eat those fish. In the deep sea, you got the same basic setup, except you replace plankton with marine snow (biomatter falling from surface waters; basically fish poop and dead organisms). But then instead of having a sensible progression of a food chain, you've got big fish eating small fish and small fish eating big fish and generally everything trying to eat everything else (there are some fish with more normal feeding habits there as well, like the ones in the OP. No wonder they looks so horrifed).

In order to maximize their chance of finding food, many deep sea fish have huge gaping maws with enormous needle-like teeth, and elastic sack-like stomachs that can expand to hold prey larger than themselves. When you're unlikely to encounter another potential prey for a month, you can't afford to pass the opportunity over a trivial thing like said "prey" being twice your size and also trying to eat you.

In order to save energy, msot deep sea fish are ambush predators. Their skin is often pitch black or blood red blend in with their surroundings (red light is the fist to be absorbed by water, so most deep sea animals can't even see red light), and they have light-producing organs called photophores that are used both for camoflauge (closer to surface where some weak light still trickles down, they are used to break the fish's outline when viewed from below) and for attracting prey.

Those are the D&D 5e core classes.

Fighter. 'Guy that fights' is not a good basis for a class.

I love martial characters, but you'd be a lot better off scrapping the generic fighter and giving all the other core martial classes more options to how they play.

Should probably play GURPS.

>>50526680
Start with D&D, then move on to a system more specific to what you're looking for in a setting.
Like we all did.

Try some one page RPGs until you figure out what you want.

Thanks

I wouldn't trust GameZone as far as I can throw them.

basically through a shell company Ludofilia S.L, serial GW copiers Gamezone Miniatures took a load of crowdfunding for a game they didn't have the rights to; either from Milton Bradley, Games Workshop or the creators of the unrelated Glorantha RPG called Heroquest, Moon Design Publications, who own the copyright to the word "HeroQuest" in the USA at least.

I think they claim to have the rights through the local Spanish translator of the Heroquest boardgame but it's shoddy at best and nobody has received anything.

I would love for this to come back out,stole my brothers' copy who are 8 and 10 years older than me and used to play it with friends, this is what got me in role playing. sadly i was part of the kickstarter that was stopped due to op right issues and i saw the"25th annivesary" backwhen it was the 25 released (1989 uk, 1990 usa)

>>50525617
I'll believe it when I see it.

>>50523906
Clone troopers is my bet, although the Federation and imperial guardsmen have the advantage of understanding the purpose of cover

>>50523931
clone troopers, as shown in the clone wars show as well as battlefront 2, value traditional guerilla and trench warfare tactics.

Well, there's multiple things to consider here.

Whoever the Red Shirts open fire on first is going to get decimated. Phasers are really deadly and will punch through the armor of anyone they hit. However, the Red Shirts don't have much defense in turn, so they'll get shot to pieces pretty quickly.

The Terran Marines are likely to draw fire, due to their imposing stature, so will likely go down once the medic is taken out.

Ultimately, it comes down to the clones vs. the IG. I give the Clones the advantage due to slightly better armor and a more mobile combat style, while the IG stay mostly stationary. However, close combat could be a game changer if the IG get stuck in after hitting with their flamers. A chainsword is going to intimidate anyone, Clones included (I'm assuming the Commisar has a chainsword, since it is their standard equipment loadout.)
