I'm not disagreeing with you -- your general point is that ranged jack spam doesn't do as much damage as one would hope (at least, that's how I read it), and it just so happens that an obvious target (and a melee jack that's going to get spammed) is impervious to it.

I think Harkevich is going to run better spamming melee jacks, whether Mad Dogs, Marauders, or Juggernauts. Mobility + Reposition is a nice bit of support for a melee jack, because going full ranged just doesn't give you enough damage even under Broadside.

If jackspam is gonna be the new meta then bane thralls still have a purpose. Jacks don't get enough attacks against them and bane thralls still eat armor for breakfast.

>>47522551
That is, unless you drop them into ranged-heavy jack spam, which is what Cygnar will most likely run.

Don't you mean Catachan

No. Look at all the fucked up mutated wildlife on Caliban, it's totally Australia.

>>47514434
Nah, Caliban was Fantasy Europe. Vast dark forests full of great beasts. Knightly orders. All that stuff.

Cretacia is probably closer to Space Australia.

>>47501886
Of course not.
In any situation in which it's helped, you've cheated.

>>47501886
>sometimes I manaweave and just forget to shuffle
What a retard.

>>47501886
I don't mind mana weaving ad a superstitious ritual, as long as it's not actually done in front of the opponent and keeps them waiting. If it makes you feel better, and you sufficiently shuffle after, I don't mind if you do it before the tournament, or if you finished your game and the other people are still playing, but if your opponent is sitting in front of you, don't waste his damn time with that shit.

Energy is always worth fighting over. Maybe have it be a limitless source of energy since it draws from the planet's geothermal reserves.

It gives control over the Elemental plane of Earth.
It quadriples all stats of a being, turning them into super-%speciesname%.
It is guarded by a shitload of dragons, they don't tell why is Heart important but it should be reeeeally powerful if even dragons sacrifice themselves to protect it.
It's STC, or piece of alien technology that allows to control other mechanisms left by aliens/Predecessors.

Powerful enough?

>>47524412
So you mean it would make my int 24? Once I'm that smart I could definitely rule the world. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FIRST FOR THE PIMPMARINES!

>I2 orks

So I've never played a game of 40k, but I know the fluff a bit. I'm a bit confused as to how they balance armies vs the armies they are specifically fluffed against. An example of what I wanna know is how do they balance Grey Knights vs the daemons they are apparently so good at killing.

You run again, but this time aren't able to reach the same level of speed.

"Nine point six seconds," Master Roshi announces. "Now, Tofoo, do you think this means that eight point eight is the fastest you can do?"

"Of course not!" You tell him. "One day, I'll be even faster than you are!"

Master Roshi laughs. "That's the spirit! Now, do you boys understand?"

"Yes, master!" Krillin and Goku say together.

"Good," Master Roshi says. "We'll work on applying this lesson tomorrow morning. Now, you boys have one last test before we go inside for that delicious-smelling supper."

"Are we running again?" Goku asks.

"No, It's a different type of test," Master Roshi tells him, looking around and picking up a stone.

He produces a marker, and writes on the stone, creating a symbol which he shows to you, Goku, and Krillin.

"Take a good look at this stone," he instructs. "Have you memorized it?"

"I think so," Krillin answers.

"Are you going to eat it?" Goku asks.

"What? No, Goku!" Master Roshi snaps.

>A. You have it memorized

>B. Ask why he wants you to memorize it

>C. Ask Goku if he's ever eaten a stone

>D. Something else

No, because things like "geek" and "nerd" have lots of different meanings, and I don't like to be categorized as a certain type of person

>>47523456
How do you feel about people that identify as a geek/nerd?

>>47523716
The same way I feel about was majority of people, somewhere between mild disgust and total contempt.

It's not your fault Foxfire. My "Fathers" know why I'm pissed at them. It involves you tangentially, and would have come up anyways, with or without you.

>>47508992

"...Oh." Fox replies sadly. "I thought I was responsible..."

"It's not your fault." You say. "I told you that already. Its not your fault and you're not responsible."

"But it involves me?"

You sit crouch down next to her and look out the window. "What are you looking at anyway?" You say to change the subject.

"Oh, nothing." She says. "Its just that there isn't much to look at here." She has a point. The upstairs portion of the warehouse is bare besides the piles of debris you made during your tantrum. "I was just looking at things. The domed gardens and neon-clouds."

TELL FOX FIRE THE TRUTH OR SUPPRESS IT FOR NOW?

>>47509309
Suppress.

Made some OC

Marines having the same BS as the most elite regular humans makes perfect sense, honestly.

Less sense is veteran marines having essentialy the same statline, and of course this idea that there's anything wrong with scouts having WS/BS 3. The average marine scout is explicitly -not- as experienced as a schola progenium graduate.

Where do space marine tanks come from?

Surely they don't always use thunderhawk transporters...

I made several homebrew weapons actually.

Alchemist Canister Gun
2-handed firearm.
Ammo is 1 dose of either Alchemist Fire, Liquid Ice or Acid.
Reloading takes up a full round action. (Its only a standard action if you're an alchemist, who are automatically proficient with these.)
Misfire chance of 1 (has a chance of splashing the contents all over you instead)
The contents are loaded into a chamber that fires the liquids as a jet instead of as a thrown weapon.
It has two firing modes:
Spray Shot (DC 16 reflex) deals 1d6 to everything in a 30ft. cone
Jet Shot (Ranged Touch Attack) deals 1d6 to a single target within 60 ft. range

Kinetic Gauntlets
1d4 steel-knuckled gloves
Spring-Loaded - Requires a move action to pull back the spring. You may specify if the spring-loaded weapon is a stake (1d4 piercing), a hammer (1d4 bludgeoning) or a dagger (1d4 slashing)
On a successful hit, in addition to the 1d4 bludgeoning from the punch, the wielder may also trigger the spring to launch at the target, dealing an extra 1d4 damage. The wielder must pull back the springs in order to deal this additional damage again. The gauntlets may be enchanted separately between the Steel Knuckles and the Spring-Loaded weapon.

Battle Ladder
1d6 piercing polearm
This 10ft. long steel pole has several spokes and grooves along its rod and a conical spike at its base to allow a person a foothold and climb over walls.

Pretty cool bruh

What's people's takes on modern weapons?

Smug elves: as tall or taller on average than humans
Cute elves: as tall or shorter than humans on average

I prefer taller

>>47520141
A full head shorter than humans.
Rather than elves being short, humans are just tall. Humans are supposed to be scary, so they have to be big to be intimidating

I don't know, but Numenera isn't it.

Meh I just started off with typical historic fantasy and allowed the timeline to slowly drag its ass into the space age.

The end result was actually quite amusing if taking a lot longer because of magical brain drain but it does happen eventually.
