Chaos is always shilled as such terror to behold yet it boils down to a bunch of slightly deformed spergs. Big fucking deal just use artillery and shell them what is IG so afraid of? They are literally just fighting less mentally stable humans. Now if they bring daemons that's another story but how often does that happen? I think Chaos is overrated it would be way worse to fight Dark Eldar, Necrons or Nids.
>>49872581
They are fighting less mentally stable space marines. Those are scary.
>Yet as horrific as their wanton violence is, as gut-wrenching as their genocidal purges are -- there is something else about the Crimson Slaughter that makes them more terrifying than the other myriad threats that stalk this brutal era. Strange things happen when the Crimson Slaughter arrive for battle. Unnatural, awful things that hardly bear description. Phantasmal spirits manifest out of shadows and premonitions of doom coalesce so thickly they hang like haze upon the air. The skies bleed, walls melt and the innocent contort and wrack their bodies into baleful angles while they howl to the heavens with the voices of the damned. Even mutes will plead for swift and merciful death, screaming out in languages they never knew.
-Crimson Slaughter
Sounds like a fun time.
>Badscragg gawped at the carnage in the valley below. The Orks had been advancing on a miners’ town, expecting a few scared humies to stomp. As they drew near to the settlement, the greenskins had slowed at the sight of mounds of mangled corpses. Moments later, howling bloody murder, a horde of red-armoured Chaos boyz had come charging out to attack. The greenskins had roared their approval of a proper battle. However, it had soon become apparent that it was possible to have too much of a good thing. A snaggletoothed old Loota, Badscragg reckoned he’d more or less seen it all. But he’d never witnessed carnage like this. The Chaos boyz weren’t just killing the Orks, they were ripping them to bits. Ork throats were torn out by jagged fangs, the gushing blood drunk down in great draughts. Lashing tentacles tore off greenskin limbs and stuffed them into gaping maws. Skin was flayed, bones broken, and Ork guts ripped out by the fistful. Zog this, thought Badscragg, beginning to sidle slowly away from the fight. Even Orks had their limits, and this surpassed his. Suddenly, the Loota was plunged into shadow, choking on the reeking stink of sulphur. Badscragg looked up in sudden horror as something truly monstrous descended upon him, and then everything turned to blood and pain.
-From Codex "Daemonkin"
Even Orks are not as hardcore or as violent. The violence the hordes of Chaos are capable of turns off even the Orks.
Greenskins confirmed cowards.

Looking for some help, I've been working on and off on a homebrew game and I've hit a wall with the skills section of it. I want to stay away from something d&d cuz I've been running it for the past year and I'm sick of it.
I had originally taken a lot of inspiration from Cyberpunk 2020 and was gonna do something similar to their skill system but I decided to try out something different. The idea I had was basically a pass/fail roll where you'd roll a d10 and a result that was less than the respective stat was a success, with stats being between 3 and 10. Of course, that comes with its own problems, mainly what are opposed checks.
I don't have as much experience with other systems so I was wondering what other systems have done and if any of the more experienced players/GMs have any thoughts on what I could do?
Sounds like a solid mechanic.
Opposed checks could be the same roll low system but you subtract your skill from the roll. Lowest wins.
The Warhammer RPGs use a d100 roll-under-skill system much like what you're suggesting. I believe their opposed tests work the same as above, without the subtraction element.
Perhaps you could also incorporate dice reductions, where a more skilled player rolls a smaller dice than d10, like a d8, d6, or even d4, leading to more predictable rolled values.
>>49889289
I really like that idea, lowering the dice size. I may look into testing that out and seeing how it works.
With opposed rolls I was gonna do something where the the person have to roll against someone would win the check if they passed that roll but I felt that would have made stealthing or persuading etc a bit harder to get away with since there isn't a DC to meet
>>49888484
For roll under I'm fond of blackjack style degrees of success.
Rolling as high as possible without going over your target number, highest roll wins

I think you should ask WiP. They look good to me.
In 40k Generals half the posters don't even own an army and only a quarter of those that do paint them.

Compared to my marine sprue, they look good.

Why are chaotic neutral always so unimaginative, instead of ubermensch like pic related?
Conan is not chaotic neutral. He doesn't fit any of the aligments, showing how bad they are at describing characters.
>>49880921
Conan is actually a pretty good example of character development over time. Going from a Chaotic Neutral barbarian to a more noble king. Alignments are good for a starting place, but they shouldn't define a character more than good old stories, and they shouldn't be mechanically binding.
alignments are important for the sake of obtaining and retaining particular supernatural powers, typically of the magical nature
it's a starting point, at best, as far as characterization goes
Can a blank be an Astartes?
>>49875531
I think no, because gene-seed reacts negatively against them as all the primarchs were in some way or another psychically active, due to being the Emperor's sons. The fact that we've never seen a blank astartes is probably for a reason.
>>49875531
Yes. There was one in The Emperor's Gift. A Grey Knight who acted as caretaker to the dead, and ensured that no warp or daemonic residue remained tainting the bodies. However, even this marine's existance was kept mainly a secret from anyone in the lower ranks. That said, the Grey Knights have a much wider net when it comes to acquiring applicants, so I wouldn't expect any other chapter to A) find a blank who passes all other criteria, or if they do B)Have the expertise to utilize those abilities effectively.
Yes Thousand Sons had a couple in their novel prior to the heresy.

Wouldn't be surprised if pic related is be a masterpiece in aether revolt.
Dovin Baan talking about the gatewatch's weaknesses:
>And they expect that they will win with a minimum of cost or sacrifice.
This made me smile, as I know you guys want of them to die.

He just does not know what the power of friendship is, but don't worry he will learn the lesson at the end of aether revolt, maybe before that

I can't detect any sarcasm, but I'm going to assume you're slightly joking...

Another chest.
Think of a Space Marine chapter or Chaos Marine warband, /tg/.One of their members is now your roommate.What happens?
Imperial fists.
Well my house is now fortified.
The crack dealer upstairs is now dead, and the police are trying to arrest him. This isn't going to end well.
>>49890126
If the Emperor had made 20 Roboutes instead of bitchy special snowflakes, the Galaxy would be a better place by 40k.
You know it's true.
Maybe a Rubric Marine. They can just sit quietly and be great home security.

What do dragons symbolize?
>>49876287
Usually greed or power. But they can symbolize anything really. In Eastern myth they usually symbolize wisdom, or the natural world (which is sometimes the case in Western myth as well).
Anything you want really. I once had dragons represent chaos and energy.

How do you imagine battles between Black Templars and Word Bearers?
Like most battles between Space Marines and Chaos Marines?
It's not as if all the other chapters aren't religious and can't be fanatical, and it's not as if the Word Bearers are the only zealot warband.
Loud Screaming
If any of the really, really old Word Bearers are still around, they'd get way more fired up to fight the Ultramarines.
