Will it be possible to have a wargame on this setting?
What units would each faction have?

>>49501138
Probably similar to Kensei, which has all the armies sharing the same Core models, except in reverse. All the elites are the races of the world, the Core and HQ are your faction-specific troops.

Frigost, Amakna, Brakmar, Bonta, Sufokia, Astrub, Demons

I'd make Sufokia troops elite and hardy with leadership issues outside their HQ, Frigost the speedsters that control the battlefield, Brakmar and Bonta would be offensive and defensive, Amakna would be a jack of all trades, Astrub would allow you to take the elite races of the world as Core but had really shitty HQ, and Demons would just keep coming in weak hordes until their HQ is dead with the HQ being hard to control and like to just go off and do their own thing via leadership tests every turn.

>>49501253
I need to play this now

>>49499529
go on GW's website, they have tutorials.

Also thin your paints and use washes.
Thin your paints by the way, and don't apply layers that are too thick. Apply several thin layers of thinned paint until you've got a good color, instead of thick ones.

Thin your paints. It's a meme for a reason. Because it's the truth.

>>49499561
The biggest issue I'm having is that my paints aren't sticking to the minis in a solid coat, but instead in somewhat chalky bands.

>>49499529

Prime them black, then detail them.

Put a wash on, Nuln Oil will do the trick for you

Then for finishing touches correct areas that got mis-colored, and drybrush lighter versions of your colors onto places you want to highlight(long edges of weapons and armor, glowing things).

Oh and
>thin your paints

Existential crisis. You don't even have to put this in the context of 40k characters, this would result the same way for nearly anything.

1st: Panic,
2nd: Existential Crisis
3rd: Eleven of my 45 guardsmen are very annoyed at me because I hadn't gotten skin tones down at the time and then used Citadel Purity Seal on them and it frosted them over, making them look like a horde of crack-covered oompa lompas.

>>49497949
>Everyone has existential crisis
>Sisters of Battle, not giving a flying fuck about these sort of things, procced to burn and ourge heretical minis.

I bought them when I first started, and I thought they were worth it. The tools were high quality and have lasted me a long time, the paints are high quaity and look fantatic, and the minis are the best!

They are fine, and overpriced. Pretty much anyone else will give you better bang for your buck.

Paints are good quality bar the shitty pots
Price is bad

And dumping whatever I have on my phone, because what the fuck else am I going to do

>>49494137
I stopped playing with humans. I only play with A.I.'s.

>>49494641
How can somebody not have any friends to play with? What are the point of these 'A.I.' only games? They're the saddest fucking thing I've ever seen.

>>49496601
That's just rude! Some of my best friends are AIs! I'm getting married to one in a month's time!

>So in the game we played My friend managed to summon a Red Eyes Black Dragon and I had no monsters on the field, how do I stop him from attacking me ?
It's good to have a Trap card set, like Magic Cylinder for example, that can stop the attack, reverse the attack back at the opponent, activate an effect, etc. There are also quick play (I think that's the name) Magic/Spell card which can be activated under certain conditions. Sometimes Magic/Spell cards, like Swords of Revealing Light, can stop your opponent from attacking you directly for 3 turns. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but once you play some more and get used to the rules and see certain situations play out, you'll get used to it. Even though your opponent may be biding their time for an attack, you can start preparing your side with monsters and a strategy. Effect Monsters are really good for this situation, allowing you to take advantage of their effects even if they get destroyed.

I haven't played Yugioh for many years, like since Ancient Sanctuary t was a new booster pack. There are a lot of new card types and rules that have changed the meta game completely. I'd suggest just getting familiar with the basics first though, like Normal, Effect, Fusion, Ritual monsters, then Trap, Spell/Magic cards, and what you can do on what phases of a person's turn (Main Phase 1, Battle Phase, Main Phase 2, etc.). Good luck and have fun!

>>49493956
Oh and to add to that, my strategy suggestions may be different from others on here since I like to play with 'mill decks' (having the opponent run out of cards), which isn't necessarily a valid strategy I'm guessing in the meta game nowadays. It worked pretty well in the past though (most times).

>If that is the case, why not just have them as trap cards, makes the quick spell system seem pointless.
I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they allow for you to play from your hand versus using valuable space on the field, like Mystical Space Typhoon. Of course then you lose valuable space in your hand, but it really depends on the strategy of your deck and the situation.

>>49493772 (OP)
>In a situation like this, where one player has a really strong tribute summoned monster, is the only way to deal with that Spell and Trap cards ?
Spells, Traps, or just special summon a stronger monster. In competitive Yugioh, the answer to a single Red Eyes Black Dragon would be to special summon 10 times in one turn and end up with a field full of monsters all strong enough to kill that red eyes and that all have actually good effects on top of that.

>Second of all, can you tribute summon 2 monsters as soon as the second monster has been summoned ?

No, a tribute summon is a normal summon, and you can only normal summon once per turn. Special summon more is the answer to this problem, has been since nearly the beginning of Yugioh.

>Quick Spell cards, whats the deal here?

You can play a Quick-play Spell from your hand on your own turn, even during your battle phase or your draw or standby phase. After you set a Quick-play Spell, it suffers from the trap spell limitation of not being able to activate it the turn you set it. Also, you cannot activate Quick-play Spells from your hand on your opponent's turn, you still have to set it to do that.

>>49494046
>I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they allow for you to play from your hand versus using valuable space on the field, like Mystical Space Typhoon.

You do still have to put the Quick-play Spell in one of your Spell/Trap Zones to activate them. Same with normal spells, if all of your Spell and Trap Zones are full, you can't activate any Spells from your hand until you make some room somehow.

I've always liked the idea of magical gemstones. It's a bit of a cliche, but they look cool and you can do fun stuff with it. It also kinda makes sense in general fantasy terms, more 'precious' materials like gold, silver and gemstones always seem to turn up on powerful magic artifacts, so it sorta makes sense that they're better able to hold or channel magic and stuff.

>>49492745
>it kind of takes away from the gems being treasures.
Literally how? Making different gemstones useful for magic makes it even better for them to be rewards from a treasure vault.

For magic items, I usually just use a list of what gems are associated with and describe appropriately, so e.g. a wand of Cure Light Wounds would be topped with Jasper.

>>49492818

It takes away from them being pure treasures, things to be sold and kept closely as valuable items if they now have magical value as well I mean.

Neat, thank you anon.

Are you the really cool map dude that did this?

>>49493502
That's me.

They can. Not every system is D&D

>>49597208

Depending on the edition of D&D, there were a few theories and in-manual explanations:

- Armor was too heavy to allow mages to perform the complex gestures needed to invoke spells. (Although some editions just added a spell failure probability, depending on the weight of the armor)
- Mages simply lacked the proficiency and / or physicality to wear armor. (This seems to be a popular theory for OSR)

>>49597208
Depends on the game/setting.

But a few reasons why some games do it:
Stronger identity. Warriors wear armor. Mages wear robes.
Niche Protection. Armor is the warrior's niche. If the mage can wear armor just as well as the warrior, why have a warrior in the first place?
Style enforcement. Armor changes how a character interacts with combat. Mages are frail and should avoid direct combat. Armor helps mages more than it would help the already hardy warriors.
Avoiding optimized builds. If mages can wear armor, why wouldn't they wear the best armor they can afford?

>>49572396
To be honest...I like the Tuatha, they just seemed like the least dickish and bloodthirsty of them all and they honestly seemed to care about their scions. To the second part I haven't changed my stance on it, Tuatha, in my mind, is best pantheon.

Bump as I go to bed. Please still be here when I get up /scg/

I don't care for the Asian Pantheons because I know nothing about them, but I'm sure they'rr cool enough.

Currently the classes Available.

For those just joining us you can only choose the base classes [Middle 6 classes] outlined in grey. The other classes [Advance Classes] simply become options to specialize in after you level up.

> You start with 2 abilities and when you complete a floor you gain one more "level"
- You gain a level by reaching the stairs and traversing one floor.
- Your party also gains a level by defeating the Floor Boss
> You may access an advance class as early as level Upon doing so you gain one ability.

Levelling up doesnt affect stats [yet] but it will determine items and equipment that you can use. These things you must acquire with Zenny, luck, and simple perseverance and very likely violence.

>>49527258

I might be a bit biased but I'm for continuing with old+new characters/players where it was left off.

Ironically, I think the most fun I've ever had as an elf character is when he was incredibly in-elfy. To the point where he was basically subverting all the elf stereotypes in the setting. the setting was Dragon Age

Here's a picture of the character.

What was the most fun you've had as an elf?

Tricorn? That's classically highwayman.

Stolen ones.

Do they want people to know that they're thieves?

Magic Duels.
Netrunner on Jinteki.net

Hearthstone. It's actually really good, if you're not a tryhard.

>>49562647
Well, Spellweaver is the best occg on the market. So I mainly play that. Still I have tried some others...

I want to like Faeria. The art is maximum cute, gameplay is super inovative... but it has harthstone randomness, and a tiny card pool. The novelty might bring me back.

Solforge was a clever game, but then rarity bullshit ruined it. Only mythics matter, and the rate you can get them at (with money or time) is beyond unacceptable.

Infinity wars is the closest to spellweaver, and was my game till I found spellweaver. Really intresting bluffing game, still the card gain is slow as molasses. Intresting, but spellweaver is better.

I have a friend who is really into Stormwars. Then again, he is a bit wierd. The lack of any player imput during play turned me off.
