Would play him as an adherent to Ithreia, but rules wise he would be dedicated to the ideal of hunting. He claims that Ithreia showed him the afterlife and that it's basically Valhalla where a tale of a great enough hunt will get your songs sung by the totally not Valkyrie bards, who sing eternal. While the soul may go through cycles of Valhalla and the waking world, the bards sing eternal. His goal is eternity and to such aims he will create a song worth singing

I've always wanted to play a 5e monk that acts like a Victorian old-timey pugilist. Having him speak with a british accent and assortment of slang "WHAT HO CHAPS, seems these ruffians wish to engage in a bout of fisticuffs", with a bond to his mustache and a flaw of never wearing shirts or ripping them off at the first sight of a challenge.

Either that or Macho Monk Randy Savage

I've had this idea for a character to use if I ever do play a tabletop game. I haven't actually played one before but I really want to.

Anyway, I had the idea to make a human sorcerer character in his mid-to-late twenties, maybe very early thirties, who's somewhere between Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil. His name is Laurence Samuel Williams. While he despises needless suffering and death, he will torture and/or kill if genuinely needed. And by "genuinely needed" meaning innocent lives are on the line.

The most notable things about him are first that while he will use it if needed, he tends to use magic other than fire if given the option. The second notable thing about him is that he carries a locket with the picture of a woman around the same age as he is. If asked he explains that it's a picture of his wife.

If he becomes friendly with the other party members he'll explain that she died seven years ago, and he's out adventuring looking to kill the person who took her away from him.

If he becomes very close to his party members, and he's sufficiently drunk, he'll explain that she was mildly talented in magic, though never given the opportunity to learn, so he taught her a few spells. She accidentally set their home on fire and burned to death. He can't escape his own innate instinct for self-preservation, so instead of taking his own life he's out adventuring hoping the monsters and bandits do what he couldn't.

If asked why she looks his age if she died seven years ago, he'll explain that she was twenty-eight when he was twenty.

The "A model listed as 1 Dunecrawler" (or other case like that) clarification is a result of disgusting incompotence: The rules for formations are clear on the fact that any restrictions on a unit within a formation go in the

The metagame is awesome right now. Jeskai is truly a rising star and is tons of fun to play and beat. It's a matter of time before we find the best list and it hits Tier 1.

Eldrazi is still pretty good. Sure, it mulls a lot (about as much as Affinity does), but Thought-Knot Seer remains a monster to prepare for. I particularly like the RG Version with World Breaker, since it has crazy utility in exiling dangerous lands (and troublesome artifacts or enchantments) as well as providing a huge body with Reach. At least it's definetely more fun to play against than the Eye versions. I definetely expect to see this deck hit Tier 2 in a few weeks.

I will admit I am disappointed by the lack of a Thopter Foundry deck. To be fair, it's the trickiest unban the format has seen so far, alongside Bitterblossom and Golgari Grave-Troll, so finding the right deck may take some time or may even never be found, like BB and GGT who belong in Tier 3+ strategies. Time will tell.

They were about to, the planet was catalogued by the AdMech and they had withdrawn to await cleansing but upon leaving the planet was wrapped in warp storms which lasted a while. Long enough for the Tau to stop fucking around and get their shit to together.

>>47186398
IIRC the warp storm started over the planet before they could do anything after observing them.

>>47186440
Didn't the warp storm dilate time for the Tau? IIRC it lasted around a thousand years or so to the galaxy at large but for the Tau it lasted long enough for them to evolve from a race that just learned to walk upright into what they are now.

Pre-apocalypse catalogs? Or something like Kelley's Blue Book but not only for cars.

As far as tools go, I'd say a sapper shovel, wire cutters,knife obviously,monkey wrench and screwdrivers for taking apart stuff, maybe a crowbar too.

Thread topic: you have a choice between a level 20 champion fighter mercenary, or a level 10 warlock mercenary.

From a purely min max perspective, how could you possibly justify taking the champion fighter over the warlock?

After defeating a Gelatinous Cube last session, I scooped some up and managed to bring it back what it was before just on a smaller scale, I keep it in a Chest it can't dissolve and named it Baby Clean. No clue what I'm going to do with it, was thinking of storing magical items in it

Just saw this on reddit. Sounds neat but I'll be a bit dissapointed if it doesn't get an Elemental Evil companion supplement or something similar.

>>47182805
... I was going to tell you to fuck off OP but yeah actually thats a good point. A chapter has maybe 50 armoured vehicles at best. The average planet would probably have a few thousand or more. How DOES a chapter subjugate a planet of billions of people?

>>47182805
They'd nuke it.

>>47182805
>>47182846
Well they wouldn't be fighting the entire planet's forces at once. Planets are huge, so the enemy is spread out across a massive area. In any area where the Marines operate, they are a dramatically superior force. They would probably avoid engaging massed enemy forces for that very reason.

This does bring up a good point though. Conquering a planet might take decades. Suicide bombers could probably take out a marine or two if they got lucky. Booby traps, mines... I don't see how a Chapter could sustain itself over a long-term campaign. Even if they lost only one Marine a day across that entire planet, after three years thats the chapter wiped out. Sure the chapter's home could send reinforcements, train new troops with what they left behind, but Marines seem very poorly equipped for any kind of battle of attrition.

I don't see any way a Chapter could take a planet by itself intact. They could bombard it, glass it, virus bomb it sure, but then you haven't really taken the planet, that's just exterminatus.

>>47182740
Gonna have to go with Termie Chap bro as well. One of the first models I put any real effort into and now I have multiple copies of him lying around the place.

Him, or the Slaaneshi Boobworm lord.

A lot of the Realm of Chaos champion range are contenders as well.

>Almost every flyier by GW sucks.

The Ork and Dark Eldar ones are great.
IG, Eldar, Necron and Tyranid ones are all perfectly okay. The Heldrake as well if you like the aesthetic.
It's only really the Space Marine flyers that are genuinely awful.
