In what context?

In folklore/mytholoy and linguistics, there is no difference. Both are English borrowings via Old French from the Latin "draco", itself a borrowing from Greek "δράkων" (drakon). (The word is ultimately of Greek origin, the original Draco was a unique monster from Greek myth, hence the northern constellation.)

We're not working for you, and we'll enter the crypt with your approval or without it, and we're sure as hell not leaving a valuable member of the party with you.
Now get out of the way before things get ugly. We're not here on a sightseeing tour, this is important.

Truly have you no shame to show such disrespect?

In our culture, it is traditional to leave one's spouse as a hostage when trespassing in a Lord's domain. To deny me, a King? You tempt the wrath of our Gods, serrah.

You want to take the cleric? The cleric we need to assist in destroying the undead?

Nah, on second thoughts, you deal with your own undead and curses, we'll go find some orcs to kill in the next kingdom over or something.

I'm working on "cleaning up" the 40k tactics, and was wondering /tg/'s opinion.

Do we want to link the stuff by template, similar to how Battlecollege has a sidebar for WMH?

Do we want to create "general" tactics pages for certain Special Rules? (Ex: How to use & how to Counter Hit & Run?), or for understanding "Power Formations?"

Etc?

>>49435617
I like the sidebar, the issue is whether it works for 1d4 in general, not just the wargame section.

WHERE'S THE TRANSPORT + FLIER /tg/ YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE A TRANSPORT + FLIER!

Teleportation comes first to mind. Move along the 4th dimension axis, move where you need to along the three other dimensions, and then return back along the 4th axis.

Depending on how far you push it, he can essentially be nearly invincible, simply by dodging along the 4th axis to evade.

>>49429758

Assuming you mean a 4th spatial dimension.

Well from our perspective, such a being would
A) look really, really weird. Because, basically, seeing a 4D creature in 3D would be equivalent to seeing the shadow of a 3D creature- you're seeing it with one of its dimensions cut off. From the perspective of a 3D entity, a 4D entity would seem to move super erratically, spontaneously change size and shape, appear and disappear, etc.
B) It would, from our perspective, be able to 'phase' through solid objects by moving around them in the 4th dimension. Imagine you're a 2D person, and you encounter someone 3D- it'd be able to pull off all kinds of weird movement nonsense (from your perspective) by moving in the 3rd dimension as well as the 2 you can move in. It also might break up into multiple forms that could disappear, re-merge, etc (as you're effectively seeing a cross-section of the entity).
C) Continuing with that, a 4D entity would be able to see ALL parts of 3D objects, including all parts of the inside, simultaneously, and interact with these parts independently of the other parts. It could reach into a person, grab their bones, and remove them, without touching the rest of that person. No 3D containment would hinder it, since it can walk 'around' closed rooms etc. It could also be impossible to harm- even if it failed to phase 'around' anything we threw at it, it could just refrain from putting any important parts of itself into our 3D world, keeping its organs and such out of reach.
D) If theories like Riemann's metric tensors hold, a 4D entity might be able to resist or manipulate fundamental forces like electromagnetism or gravity in the 3rd dimension.

So, I need help. I'm an unoriginal bastard and painting my Hassassin up in Assassin's Creed colours, but I'm not sure what to do with my Asawira and other heavy infantry. The white robes and such works for the Hassassin miniatures, but I'm not sure how to paint up more heavily armoured figures to fit the theme.

>>49418556
How about an off-white, sandy colored armor with umber detailing?

Tell me examples of Lt Options who are specialists, not counting Chain of Command models who become Lt or people who were nominated Lt in the middle of the game.

As someone who plays a lot of B + U im pretty biased towards white cards thats so generically good

To start off, what's the class or archetype you feel is most missing from game at the moment?

That doesn't mean the one you want the most but the one that isn't covered in the rules at all right now.

Speaking of this why hasn't been there been a story where guardsmen from other regiments work together or interact more?

Step 1: Make sure they're all on the same page of the Imperial Creed

Step 2: Make sure their personalities work in such a way that a natural hierarchy forms

Step 3: Select only the people who're too unorthodox in their regiment

Step 4: Put an inquisitor in charge

Step 5: Take lessons from the All-Guardsman Party

Step 6: Pray to the Emperor that this works

Because Munitorum doesn't want it's bureaucratic nightmare turning into eldritch bureaucratic nightmare.

Because its the opposite of what would happen

or an unattractive man netting a beautiful perfect in every way woman

Rampant speculation on Divergent Paths character outcomes edition?

Most of the Outcast and Guild ones look pretty boring, to be honest, but some of the others look cool.

I think the Man's Guild(?) outcome, presumably giving him a free or hireable Guild Guard looks interesting, as long as he ends up outside Guild.

The Trickster learning magic from the Gremlins, or medicine/poison/necromancy from McMourning looks pretty cool too.

I'm intrigued by the Man's plan to sell booze for guns for the Gremlins though.
Would be interesting if he ended up Reckless, or acquired a Gremlin shooter.

I'm a heretek.

It's a challenge saying "hey, make MORE of me".

That's why I have a Crisis suit strung up in my personal forge.

Re-posting from last thread cause Friendo-anon suggests it.

Eve'nin, fellas.

So, I just started running a Deathwatch game with a hint of Dark Heresy; anything I should watch out for or tips to make it a better experience?

Also, I /am/ using the errata'd weapons for Deathwatch and I'm using DH2e's Righteous Fury cause I find it to be more balanced than DW's.

Make some non-combat episodes. A lot can be done with spess mareen politics.

The Storm Bolter is quite simply the best weapon in the game, especially when you put special issue ammo in it.

All the vehicles in Rites of Battle are fucked up. Seriously. They defend against pre-errata damage values. The post-errata weapons can barely hurt them. Ideally you want to reduce every vehicle's armor by 7 on the front, and 5 on the sides.

Players love relics. Players REALLY love relics if they're personalized to their chapter or legion. Don't be afraid to make people go seek out lost relics that they can be proud of.

Make them fight Necrons.

Remember, the Deathwatch are independent of everyone - other chapters, other imperial institutions, the Inquisition, etc. The team has a lot of leeway to pick their missions and determine the scale of responses as a result.

Women love it when spess mareens remove their armor. Sensually.

This isn't a normal reaction, it's the reaction of someone who read that theory on /reddit/. You have to go back. I don't mean this thread, I mean you.

These are things that I have learned very recently.
