I read ahead. Breaking the staff? Kills all blights within a half-mile radius. The staff is an extremely evil artifact that has vampiric properties and causes madness on those who use it. Looks like I am going to have to fuck a mage next gaming session.

Why are berserkers always shown dual wielding axes? They were described as using swords and shields in the sagas I mean they are made up warriors anyway but what started the edgy dual wielding trope?
As a side note - dual wielding anything aside from guns is cancer I don't mean practicality I mean it just looks Linkin Park tier if you use dual wielding art kill yourself.
Why are Paladins always using swords when actual crusaders used spears as their main weapon, mounted or on foot?
Why are the tiny elf girls always using bows when they shouldn't have the upper body strength to use them properly?
Why are wizards wearing robes when armor wasn't actually that restrictive?
Because it's a game, and it's fun.
Typically, european/norse swords were a little heavier than an axe and so you have speed and quickness in the axes.
Or
Because axes are cool with swords being reserved for knights, soldiers and those with discipline.
>>48952966
>aside from guns
Dual wielding guns is dumb too.
It's fine to dual wield with a sword and dirk or something, though.
How good is Christian mythology as basis/inspiration for dark fantasy?
>>48952502
Depends. Actual, historical Christianity is not so great for it. Pre-US Civil War Revivalism and its modern "fundamentalist" offshoots are pretty good for it, though.
>>48952502
What exactly do you understand as "christian mythology"? There are certainly some really good saint stories that fit the bill.
Otherwise id recommend looking into OT stuff, especially from the conquest of the land up to the destruction of Jerusalem through the Babyloneans (begins with some book of Moses, cant be arsed to look it up right now).

For House & Dominion: Civil WarQuest

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=House%20and%20Dominion
https://twitter.com/ThatSlowTypingG
You are Sonia Reynard, Viscount of Rioja and you're watching the clock as it counts down to House Helios entering the war. In many way you'd prefer it if they became the next Ruling House of the Dominion but their delays in committing to the conflict have been a serious annoyance of late.
Not as much as the recent House Kharbos attempt to send ships to the DRH1 Relay. That only served to get half of the force they sent killed or stranded a few million light years between galaxies. House Xygen was even less fortunate, especially after you sent them sabotaged data that cost them three quarters of their fleet. If any of them even make it to the relay they'll be severely outmatched.
Preparations are being made to move all of the available allied fleets into the Smuggler's Run in an attempt to force one last decisive battle with House Nasidum. If you can draw them in and defeat both their fleet and their Mobile Fortress it would effectively end their invasion.
For that to happen the bait has to be good.
They're already determined to strike at the siege array since its the least mobile of your heavy assets. that alone should convince them to follow it to the Avoubic system.
The Asteroid Forts in that system are heavily armed and would be able to provide fire support, repair facilities and additional ships to your fleet. Nasidum has tried to convince the local governors to defect to save them the trouble of fighting them but for now they remain loyal to your cause.
You have been providing them good business for the past decade after all.

>in an attempt to force one last decisive battle with House Nasidum
I don't really understand why we're trying to do that.
All our assets are faster than the mobile fortress, so wouldn't it be more sensible to force the enemy to either combine their fleet into one huge ineffective slow blob of ships, or pick their ships apart with our super heavies whenever they engage forces without the fortress?
Returning from the recent investigation that located a new type of navigator station apparently being constructed by Aries, you're now transferred your flag back to your command ship.
A captured Neeran Fast Medium refit to your specification The Outer Heaven is one of the fastest ships of its tonnage in the fleet. Only two are faster, the newer model Eminence II's that are equipped with oversized afterburners.
Looking up progress reports you find that things are well on their way to being ready. Some of the extra shield platforms have been pulled from Magdalena to help support your super heavy cruisers in the coming battle. Additional planetary shield gens are set to be deployed to the surface of Avoubic, the largest and most heavily armed planetoid in the system of the same name.
The only things left to decide are the general strategy for the battle and how best to get the fleets into the system.
Many of the Barons and other nobles want to take the slower moving and more vulnerable Siege Array in along a slower route farther from the Run's main navigation lane. This would keep the enemies heavier ships from engaging since it could leave other systems vulnerable to attack if too many were sent in pursuit. You would suffer a greater number of hit and fade attacks by their faster fleet elements however and it would take two days to get to the target system.
The other way is to chance the Run itself and hope that you can move quickly enough to avoid a major engagement before reaching Avoubic. Your heavier ships could provide escort and let you quickly punch through but there is a chance you could run into more opposition than you could handle.
This plan could be combined with a distraction operation to draw more heavy elements away elsewhere.
Which plan would you be willing to support?
[ ] Stay off the lane
[ ] Chance the Run, maximize fleet defense

A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify
Mighty Armies, Dragon Rampant, Of Gods and Mortals, Frostgrave, Hordes of the Things, Songs of Blades and Heroes, and anything that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread (gorkamorka, necromunda, mordeheim).

Could this game have saved Fantasy if Games Workshop had the basic foresight to at least wait for it to launch before killing the setting its based on?
>>48968266
Yes. So many of my normie friends have loved playing it and are always asking me questions about the TTG.
I've also noticed a lot of posts on /tg/ about WHFB by people who are clearly new to the setting.
>>48968266
Yeah it probably it could have saved it.
Yes.
8th edition needed fixing, but if they dropped a proper 9th edition shortly before total warhammer released it would have been a very different wargaming market right now.
The OST for Thunderbolt Fantasy has been released today, so let's celebrate with another Wuxia thread.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bxvZLOnmDI
As someone who's gotten into the genre fairly recently, I don't understand all of the (pseudo)-historical context behind common genre conventions yet. So, let me open with a question.
Martial Arts schools and their rivalries are a staple of the genre: from the lone hermit with a single student, to enormous schools like Wudang and Shaolin. It occured to me: "where do the larger schools get their funding from?" It's not like all if their pupils have the wealth to pay for years of tutelage, and they can't all operate like Buddhist monasteries (mostly self-sufficient and donations).
I swear to fucking god, I don't do it on purpose.
Every time I'm on here there's one of these threads.
>>48965768
The more people are interested in the genre, the higher the chance of getting a LotW game somewhere down the line.
>>48965757
If you look at a lot of movies many of them do more then just teach martial arts. I believe in One Armed Boxer the school also owned a few textitle shops that were ran by people associated with the school so extrapolate that into modern day where you have a family owned organization where the workers are really close to their bosses (who teach them kung fu)
