So anyone got any other fantasy CYOAs?

>>47615604
Is there any race that you haven't played against in a long time or ever?

I just had my first game ever against ad mech, but they're a new faction anyway.

It doesn't take long to explain your plans to the crew, leave Karen and Avi in charge to keep order, and let the Colonel know you'll be back shortly to sign the prisoner exchange. The day spent waiting in idle space aboard Red Siren's transport ship isn't as much fun as a day on a luxury vessel with Red Siren should be. You're used to the sturdy Rhinehawk, and while the former Heart of the Sunshine has been upgraded substantially more towards light cruiser grade than the passenger ship it began its career as it's still lighter than what you've grown accustomed to. It's also a little disconcerting how many of her crew and pilots are young, peppy, and have pink hair in imitation of her. Oda would probably have some word for it. You're also used to ships that are functional but comfortable, not luxuriously appointed with crimson rugs and wood interior surfaces. Even her sculpted neo-modern bridge reminds you of the interior of an ancient muscle car. She does her best to keep you entertained, but as Captain she has duties of her own to tend to.

Soon, though, you're able to gate again to the coordinates Clemmy sent you with her message, and you bring the scarlet ship in close to the filthy den of that breed of scavvies and junk dealers that pirates and the UJCIDF alike view with a wary eye. Griggspont itself is a far cry from clean, prosperous California Station or ornate Auditorium, it's a dirty, dusty tube of metal floating in space like a discarded beer can, and only the solar panels seem to receive much maintenance. Despite that, there is an awful lot of traffic. Although you obey the unspoken rule that even most individuals on the other side of the law abide by, that you gate at least a certain distance from the colony itself, you still see disreputable little trawlers and mech-haulers scatter away from your pirate ship as you exit the gate. They keep a wary distance from your Martian-pattern vessel and its beam batteries, but don't get out of eyeshot.

Red Siren gets off the comms and interrupts you from gazing out the viewscreen into space, “I just got done talking with docking authority. They say that the ship bays are full and we'll have to moor outside, but we can use the mech bays if we want to go in. Oh, and they can't tell us where the Pure Pure Puru...isn't that a tonguetwister of a name, yuck...is berthed because of privacy concerns, which means they want money to tell us. I think we could find out easily enough on the colony itself, though. We'll just bring some muscle along. How about two squads of my best in Harpies, to form a landing party along with you and me? That way, if something goes wrong, we can at least get word to the ship. The rest can stay here to guard the ship against any mischief, and get word to us if there's a problem.”

You nod and look her over. She poses. Her red-and-cream pilot suit is surprisingly plain, but you're already in your stark white one too and it's even more plain. With a coy glance at you she turns and walks for the mech bay, and despite her smugness you still can't help watching the way the suit accents her figure.

Inside the bay, the Knuckle Kaiser looms like a gleaming black and white beast in a bay originally configured for shorter mecha. It even hulks over the Archen standing nearby. The Archen, by contrast, resembles almost an elaborate scarlet doll. Its legs are long and slender, with feet that resemble a woman's high-heeled boots. A long, articulated skirt with a powerful thruster assembly beneath sways flexibly around its waist. It has a wide hip assembly, supporting four large thruster matrices arranged like a bow at the small of its back. Its chest armor is overly heavy and slightly blocky and extruding in the bosom area. A mane of brilliantly pink nanofiber hair as strong and hard to grasp as the cable of your magnetic grappling harpoon hangs around its shoulders and behind its rounded head. Its face is a heart-shaped pink sensor mask that can project Red Siren's features onto its surface. It's not as big as your mech, but you know it's supposed to handle as easily as a Bluegill or Pumpkinseed despite being the size of a Warmouth or Morgan II.

Block the rock

You drag yourself out of the ocean and collapse, the last thing you see being the stars before you pass out.

When you wake up, it's a bit brighter, though you can see that the light is coming from a fire nearby. Your hands are bound, and your cannonball is no longer on your back, sitting instead a few feet away. You attempt to break the ropes, but your limbs feel like jelly. You don't have the strength to free yourself.

You notice a large shape by the fire, and as your eyes adjust, you see that it's a large bear-man, sound asleep.

You also see a pot sitting next to the fire, along with several sharp objects and a book titled "To serve Man: It's a Cookbook!"

You don't like where this is going.

Besides the crackling of the fire, and the snoring of the bear, there are no sounds. You don't think there's anyone else with your kidnapper, but that doesn't really help you since you're so tired from training that you can't break the ropes that bind you.

You spot your sword sitting on the other side of the room. If you can get it out of its sheath, you can cut the ropes binding your hands and escape before the bear man wakes up.

Or, you could try crawling out of the cave and hope there's someone outside who can help you.

You should act quickly. There's really no telling when this thing will wake up.

>A. Crawl across the cave and use the sword

>B. Crawl out of the save

First for TYRANID CODEX WHEN?!

>>47605544
Tau:

>our codex has fantastic variety and internal balance, and is what all armies should dream of having, but that internal balance is set too high against external balance
>almost all of our units behave extremely differently from their fluff, leading to kroot that can't melee, gunlines, everything about vespid, and a bomber whose bombs do nothing but whose drones are better anti-air than our anti-air fighter
>none of the monstrous creatures should be monstrous creatures, but should either be walkers or some new type of vehicle-based unit

If I was allowed a fourth, it'd be:

>GW refusing to fluff out the faction properly, look at the variety of subfactions and fluffy play styles offered to SM, Eldar, Orks, or even Tyranids; Tau don't have anything except one fluffy monobuild consisting of the "take whatever" cadre and septs that get one sentence of fluff if they're lucky

If I could have a fifth, it'd be lack of vehicle variety.

>>47606442
That's cool, thanks.
>>47606501
Yeah, I checked that out. Some pages have general pros and cons of the army in question and others don't. Like Grey Knights have it but Dark Eldar don't.

Bunch of orks to kick this thing off, all still very much WIP. Killa kan and the old edition Nob heads i got as a gift from my roommate.
Also my first ever conversion for the Ghazghkull, imo the stock pose for the autocannon arm was boring as fuck so made it point forward.
Will clean up the tubing on the back and add detail + texture. Im very new to mini painting, and these are some of my first minis ever.

How are your armies coming? Also, Stations

>>47605399 why would having a lot of companions do that? Did you bring a bunch of them into the setting with you?

While we're on the subject of Overlord, would it be all right to wank that, as a lvl Fallen Angel, I took race levels that made me some sort of Lovecraftian avatar of the Great Old Ones? I mean, it fits the 'unholy' theme and angels are messengers of gods so I feel like it would fit.

Or anyone has a nice amount of art in hand to share?

Thanks for being patient as I worked on it. Hope you have fun.
