it's literally just a chainsaw with a 40k skin, would send back and ask for refund under British Law

>expecting a bunch of blacksmith/armorers to build a chainsaw from scratch

You fucking what?

It's pretty great.

I like that they actually did a long video for once, too many of their build videos skip out on huge parts of it

Don't forget:
>Gork/Morkanaughts. Transport five models at basic walking speed. No assault transport, no firing points. There is literallg nothing that benefits from riding in one. Meks can ride in to repair it, but it's completely inefficient at both close combat and shooting so there's no point spending even more on it to make it even more inefficient. It has a lot of hull points but can STILL be exploded in one shot. Literally the worst unit in the game.

>infantry heavy army with very fast FA/HS units
>no transports
>designed explicitly to be allied with another army, to the point of having a mixed formation

>>they have no transports either

I legitimately don't think Guard have it that bad in any real respect, but it has a lot of minor annoyances.

Lasguns especially are god awful and can't even keep a good volume of fire to keep on tier with anything else point wise. They're supposed to be terrible but investing even double the points won't give a good volume of fire.

Orders are half the time useless because you can only buff infantry so you're either buffing lasguns (woo-pee, ignores cover S3 AP-) or that Scion squad that shouldn't even be part of the 24" gunline.

Formations are also super expensive with minor buffs barring the Psykana Division. This is coupled with a lot of packaging/selling issues like Melta/Plasma only available in the HQ box, Rough Riders not even being sold and Wyrdvane Psykers being sold in boxes of 3 with a minimum of 5.

Ahh, someone realize the old thread said /tg/ secret dick girl

Everyone has just been too lazy to make the threads themselves.

I have a IRL match against a first year Human team today:

http://www.hdwsbbl.co.uk/teams/osterwald-ravens/roster/

I'm running Slaan in a somewhat nonstandard setup of 3 catchers 1 Blitzer 1 Krox 3rr. However my Krox is missing this game after an outrageous Chaos game last week (How the FUCK do you get 2 Agi4 Chaos Warriors by Game 3? THE FUCK WAS THAT HORSESHIT!?) so as a result I have exactly 250k in inducements to spend.

Now, Slaan special players suck, so I was thinking of just bringing in Helmut Wulf and a reroll and calling it a day. Does this sound like a decent strat?
I've got a Catcher with Guard (more for future games when the team comes online) and finally my Blitzer got Wrestle.

I don't but my players would like me to

Joke's on you: all NPCs are romantic options for me

For the express purpose of being a romantic option? Of course not. A character who only exists for a single reason is going to be dull and two dimensional.

Are there NPC's who might be romantically interested in PC's, or vice versa? Sure, because my players are capable of making fleshed out, interesting characters with the normal human range of emotions and interests, which can include romance and attraction.

>>49825878
The fuck are you on about?

>>49825878
>"They are my Space Marines, and they shall know no fear against those filthy spics."
Did this line take anyone else off guard? I think it was pretty bold for GW to put it in.

>>49825878
I see only one problem among those, what's the issue?

>>49785171
>What are your Malifaux related plans this weekend?

Paint up my Seamus crew for demos on Monday and maybe get the Carver done to run his scenario.

My two newbies are starting up with Misaki and McMourning. What would you folks recommend for the first few additions?

>Make Demons more like elementals, but based on emotions. Kinda like how a fire elemental is a swirling semi-humanoid vortex of fire, a demon could be a swirling vortex of pure hate, or fear, or lust. Appearance and abilities follow, of course; a hate demon could be made of blood-red fire and smoke and inspire murderous rage in people, while a lust demon would be more of a purple or pink mist that charmed those nearby, lulled them to sleep, then stole their dreams or something.

These sound like cool ideas, could I do it easily with the stats for Demons in the MM?

>>49839583
You'd be better served by starting with elementals, I think. My interpretation of a Hate Demon might look something like this:

Hate Demon
Large Fiend, Chaotic Evil
Armor Class 13
Hit points 102 (12d10+36)
Speed 50'
Str 10, Dex 17, Con 16, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha 10
Damage resistance: nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing weapons
Damage immunities: poison
Condition immunities: exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, unconscious
Senses: darkvision 60', passive perception 10
Languages: None (or Abyssal, if you think they should be smart enough to speak)
Challenge: 5 (guessing here, based it off a fire elemental)

Amorphous: A hate demon can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Aura of Rage: Any creature that strikes a hate demon with a melee attack while within 5' of it is subject to it's touch of rage ability.

Multiattack: The hate demon makes 2 touch of rage attacks.
Touch of Rage: Melee weapon attack: +6 to hit, reach 5', one target. Hit 7 (2d4+3) psychic damage, and the victim must make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the target is filled with murderous rage; treat this as a Confusion spell that has rolled a 7 on the result. If the hate demon has affected two separate creatures with multiattack, they strike at each other; otherwise, determine the target randomly. If a creature succeeds on this Charisma saving throw, they are immune to touch of rage for 24 hours.

>>49839599
And already I fucked up. Aura of Rage should read: Any creature that strikes a hate demon with a melee attack while within 5' of it must make a Charisma save as if it had been affected by touch of rage. They don't take damage, they just go bugnuts crazy.

You've answered your own question... and I'm a chaos fan-boy. They have their own universe so they don't count and even if they did it's hard to measure their power so... We know the Emperor is extremely powerful. Perhaps the Nightbringer as a single being was more powerful before it got shattered?

>>49834859
Yeah, can't really argue. The only real reason Khorne doesn't auto-win is because he's happy with the status quo and his legs don' work so good.

>>49833668
I was literally thinking the same thing.

>>49833668
It certainly did a good job at making Wands a central focus of being a WIZARD.

However, like most Minecraft mods, it basically assumed that you were going to create automated farms for every resource.

I long ago decided I would never be surprised by the autism you can find in some minecraft mods

Tabletop industries are about making money. expensive minis help that, same with minis only compatible with your system.
Confusing and overly complex rules is always inexcusable, Simple is best.

Personally for my WW2 gaming I use cheap 1/72 and 1/76 minis and a simple combined arms system we wrote from the ground up and playtested ourselves over a 5 or 6 year period.

Have you played tanks, OP? what are the rules like? what scale is it aimed at? does it give realistic outcomes? Could a T-70 destroy a Tiger from close range and to the side?

>>49826437
Because it's literally just X-Wing but tanks, nearly identical ruleset.

>>49826437
You're paying a lot of money for tokens and cards. X-wing style games are basically expandable card games with plastic playing pieces.

Of the Different systems here how do they compare?

continuing from the last stupidly named thread;

Is Starfleets discrimination against Augments a form of racism?

>>49814465
Gormenghast has a lot of suffering. And backstabbing. And endless tradition.

>>49814465
I quite like the Powder Mage series.

Dresden Files is always a solid choice. "Aeronaut's Windlass" by Jim Butcher is cool if you want some sci-fi steampunk-esque stuff.

The Expanse books are supposed to be quite good(I have the first one, but haven't started on it yet).

The Gentlemen Bastards series by Scott Lynch is quite fun with a cool setting.

Then there's some older stuff: Conan, John Carter, HG Wells, Dune and so forth.

Im a big fan of Brandon Sandersons Kingkiller Chronicles,as well as Mistborn because the magic system in it is super unique and interesting

Hm... personally, I'm rather impressed with Alfabusa's work. Nothing you'd take seriously or acclaim as the best /tg/ channel there is, but Production Quality is decent enough that it gets an honorable mention.

>>49827648
Not this guy.

>>49827648
Oh good, another faction for the "It makes no sense that this is its own army" list.

I don't even care that much for Sisters, but at least they are an actual army in the setting.

>>49827732
Anon it's the other way around, Custodes were the Emperor's army, the SoS were a special group of Blanks who will be Agents of the Emperor.
