So how many litres of paint would the Ad Mechs on Mars use in a single day? Imagine how much paint you would need to paint a titan or a knight.

Every three hundred point one four years, a hulking space-barge pulls into the orbit of Mars, completing its circular route around the planets of the Segmentum Solar that grow the plants required to create pigments. Several generations of paint mixers, colour theorists and holy men are born, grow old and die on board before the ship can finally unload its precious, multi-coloured cargo into the hungry paint vats of Mars - each giant vat of the vast Martian Paint Citadel emblazoned with the name of the colour that will fill it.
Furious internal wars have raged, and still do, within the Priesthood of Mars over the names - the Wild Rider Red Apostasy, culminating in the purging of the Blood Red mixing instructions from the databanks of Mars, or the traitorous rise of Colour-Bishop Agrax and his usurpation of the popular Devlan vats.

And each generation, the vats of paint grow smaller and smaller... And their cost remains the same.
Havent played in awhile.
Can I do ok with this?

Looks fine to me, but I don't know that Creeping Renaissance is where you want to be, just end the game before recursion is an issue, slivers are the definition of an aggressive strategy.

The cards have rotated out so they aren't legal anymore.

Ok thats what I was mainly concerned about. Which ones arent legal for current rules?

Has any of your characters ever permanently (or semi-permanently) changed species entirely? Or used magic to change shape beyond some slight alterations? What about any villain or NPC you've run as a GM?

Does playing a body-snatcher count? Because I played amagical girlwho could survive outside of her body and steal the bodies of anyone with a "weaker spirit" than her... which was most normal humans considering the nature of the game. Towards the end of the game I ended up doing this alot because it pretty much completely mitigated any risks to suicide-rushing rushing enemies as long as I was willing to sacrifice someone else for it.

My warrior got drunk with the local witch with the party tagging along, having a good old time in the hut.
He fell asleep next to the cauldron, fell against it and knocked it over, drenching him in the contents.
Woke up the next morning as a supermutant spider ala Starship Trooper arachnid, albeit with all his faculties intact sans the ability to speak. He found his true calling from Pelor as he gained the ability to (apparently) speak directly with the god and became a paladin.
It was a pretty wild ride.

No, because GMs are paranoid about messing with what a player's chosen character is. It's getting a bit silly when it's at the point where the only time I've ever had a GM inflict crippling injury on a character is when using the crit charts from Only War.
We're talking scars here too. Not just losing an arm or an eye.
It's even worse when the GM doesn't have the townsfolk give the player shit for being a certain race. Half-orc in a dwarven settlement? Sure no problem.
I hate it.
Is there any place where /tg/ convenes to chat? Surely we elegan/tg/entleman and ca/tg/irls need some place to talk outside of 4chan. Does something like this exist? Do you go somewhere else to get your live chat fix with like-minded people?

It's a literary device to show that the Emperor is above the laws of mankind, because if it was just a single god, that would make 40k a Biblical themed story by virtue of the Judeo-Christian god being the default monotheistic authority, and since there are no "non-Chaos" pantheon of gods other than for the Eldar, the writers can't say "The Emperor rules mankind by the will of nothing!"

Humanity's continual existence and suffering fuels the gods, so they keep us around as amusing snacks. There is no hope. That's the main premise of the setting.

Is there any way to create setting or story featuring tribal/civilized peoples without it immediately devolving into muh noble savage or muh epik imperialism? Or rather is there any way to do it to avoid stupid political arguments and shit?

Model it after the actual interactions between euros and natives in that period.
>Various tribes with their own politics and cultures. Some think of the foreigners as potential allies and trading partners, other see them as threats. Most see them as both
>Natives like the foreigner's tech, foreigners like knowing how to survive in the native's territory
>A lot of the foreigners are normal, working class people who just want to start a new life. Some are outcasts wanting to make it big. Some are good, some are bad. They are ultimately outnumbered and many are unprepared for this new land.
>Natives have recently suffered an apocalyptic plague. Despite outnumbering the outsiders they are a fractured shadow of their former glory. These outsiders could offer the aid they need to rebuild but at the cost of their land and their dignity
Comedic hijinks ensue

Your character has just posted an ad on a dating website. What does it say?
>Dark Queen looking for a Devoted Servant
>Greetings, mortals! I, Hecate, undisputed ruler of the underworld, am in need of a handsome young man to carry out my wicked plans! Insubordination will not be tolerated! Preferably no older than 25, and if you have a beard, please shave it before responding! The safe word is shingles!

killing that many people is still pretty serious effort

>>47091056
Assuming a population of a billion, that conflict was of a lower intensity than simply living in Chicago's ghettos.
>>
That's over 5500 people killed per week, on average, and depending on what kind of military occupation it is, that may very well be nighttime raids and firing squads, among other counterinsurgency tactics.
No wonder the Bajorans are pissed about it.

Alright, so I'm going to start an Only War game with some friends who know jack about 40k, but are willing to read up and familiarize themselves with the lore.
/tg/, please help me teach them about 40k, post helpful articles, links, pics, etcetera.

That Emperor is in dire need of a Text to Speech Device.

As dumb as it sounds, watch "If the emperor had a text-to-speech device" on youtube. It's entertaining (for fans at least) and certain episodes explain lore in simple terms. It's enough for a starter to not be overwhelmed.
>>47091090
That's no help to someone that isn't already super enthralled by it.
