Can someone link me a guide for bretts?

Also am I the only won who misses the race-specific cheerleaders from bb1 and hope they will be in bb2?

I played this game for the first time the other day. I was Dark Elves, against Chaos.
Halftime had two meanings, as half of my team was knocked out by then.

Reconsidering my interest.

>>44493598
Dark elves are very unforgiving to new players, try orcs, humans or dwarves

The game is brutal, if you play elves of any kind you will learn how cruel a +2 roll can be. The first and most important lessons are risk assessment and how to be ok with loss

>>44547165
pls no

A bit of a rules question.

I have melira combo down and gain infinite life and then my opponent twins the next turn. I do not die, right? Since my opponent has to declare a number of attackers, say a million, then after he declares the attackers I could gain another million life to keep myself alive.

Am I correct in this?

>>44547237
Seems correct to me. He attacks with a million dudes, you gain a million more life after attackers are declared

Several weeks have passed since Miss Sedere arrived on the scene. The town had finally gotten together to dedicate themselves to the building of this port. They had it in the mind that once this port was finished, ships would suddenly come and bring all kinds of business and trade to the town of Ohlendorf’s Drift. You had to admit, you also had that inkling of an idea poking and prodding in your head. It was infectious. It was hope.

“Here, give me that!” It was getting to the point that even miners were skipping work to come help build the port. The Windsors had the lead in directing the construction of the free-floating port. You yourself are manning the rudder on the makeshift barge holding a wooden piledriver. Miss Sedere stated that there was a need to actually drive home the pillars into the ground so that they’d actually stay put. But as you got further from the town, that necessitated spending some wood and rope on building boats just for building the port. Wyborn and Dafne were busy smashing a wood pillar into the ground, water sloshing up everytime they smacked the wood.

“Hey, Miss Sedere?” asks Dafne. Miss Sedere looked over from her notebook at Dafne. “How come water is coming up and splashing us even though we’s doing nothing but hitting the wood?”

“It’s called water displacement,” you say. She tilts her head, confused. “You know when you put ice into a cup of water and the level of it rises?” She nods, slowly, still confused. “Think of it like that. Water isn’t something that disappears when something goes into it, it simply moves around it. Some certain materials also do soak up water as well, but this wood here is simply displacing the water everytime you smack it with the piledriver.”

“Ooooh…” Dafne squints, cocking her head. “So like… water doesn’t like having things in it?”

Miss Sedere sighs, a bit frustrated. “Yes. Water does not like it when things are in it, and endeavors to not touch the thing if at all possible. If you have a cup of water and-” She sighs again, slapping her forehead. “Why am I explaining water displacement theory to a child?”

You look at her, surprised. “You haven’t explained it to me yet.”

“Nor me either,” says Muck as he sits on your shoulder.

Miss Sedere knocks her head gently against the support. “Mercy.”

You walk over to her, smiling proudly. “Ah, don’t worry, Miss Sedere. We’ll… yeah! I mean, come on, we’re making good progress!” You motion over to the port, which is no more than twenty meters away now. “I bet we get this bridge done tonight! All the pontoons are finished too which means we’ll have this port done in no time.”

“It took me two days to explain why pontoons float,” she mutter. “And two more days to explain why air doesn’t sink.” She sighs deeply. “I’m sorry, I must seem condescending. You are doing a lovely job.” She smiles, very tiredly. “It’s just so difficult working with er… I don’t teach a lot so I’m not good with people who are as…” She places her hand on her chest, trying to find the right words.

“You saying we’s stupid?” asks Dafne.

“No!” Miss Sedere immediately blushes, shaking her head. “Absolutely not! You’re not stupid, you’re just- er. You’re-… slow.”

“She’s saying you’re stupid, Dafne,” Wyborn states.

“Shut up, Wyborn!” Dafne slaps Wyborn on the back, squealing in anger.

A miserable pile of oaths!

>>44544513
A miserable little pile of moralfaggotry.

>Gather the crippled possessed warrior and make the medically adept techpriests and war-medics of the Nox-Vox study it.
>Try to reverse engineer the Necron weapons, make them work with you and your army.

Lying on the floor rested the lifeless body of what once was your friend and fellow companion Nathaniella. In some way her corpse wasn’t completely hers, she had been transformed by the Necrons into a parody of what she once was; her body was twisted and altered into a barely recognizable form that while human in form and shape radiated a disgusting alien aura.

You weren’t exactly sure of what to do with those bodies, they were former loyal humans but now they had been touched by the cold phalanx of the Silent King and even if they were dead their sole existence and presence was a problem. Burying them seemed to be the most respectful option but there was a chance of their bodies having tracking devices inside of them that could be used by more Possessed to reach the location of your hidden base, destroying the bodies by incinerating them in the powerful forges of the Fabricatorium was another possibility but you were scared of how the alien Necrodermis that was covering their bodies would react to the fires, if it ended creating an exothermic chemical reaction it could blew up the entire building and leave you defenseless and without the chance of equipping your army.

Luckily for you one of the attackers wasn’t completely killed and was crippled and maimed instead. Its wounds would have killed a baseline human but this one was somehow still alive, well, calling it alive was maybe incorrect. The Soulless Necrons were a race that had committed the biggest of sins by biotransferring themselves into cold and dead bodies, they weren’t truly dead nor alive and now those Possessed humans seemed to be in a similar state of quantum life and death.

>>44543571

“Get me all the available medics and biologis or artisan specialized techpriests. Call all the work servitors and order them to carry the bodies and their weapons. I want the medics and biologis to study the corpses and the survivor until they find a weakness. Order the Artisans to get the weapons and study a way of unlocking them…I know it is xenotech but we have to discover all its secrets to know how to counter them.” You tell to your closest general, the hotshot pilot Campiní.

It was strange why the Necrons sent altered humans and not their own forces. The possessed humans also weren’t united and seemed to roam the empty city with no real purpose other than killing the survivors. It was almost as if they were toying with you…

You had work to do too. As far as you knew you were the last bastion of resistance in the entire planet and all the territory that you controlled was simply a small underground village. You could always improve the defenses of your base by building a wall or traps around but to do so you would need great quantities of scrap metal and other resources, some techpriests around had been considering the idea of getting a working radio and crafting an antenna dish that could be able to contact with the Space Station that it is orbiting the forge world, some of your prospectors managed to find the blueprints of a heavy tank and even if they were damaged part of your men were already working on compiling all the data. You were their leader now; it was up to you how to guide your army.

I know absolutely nothing about 40k other than some tidbits here and there about lore and how the game works a little bit

But here's the thing

I've heard that the factions have severe power disbalances (i.e. orks are absolute shit) and I'm only interested in ONE faction if I ever want to get into the game and invest money on minis and paint

Tell me about Adepta Sororitas, in a scale from 1 to 10, how good are they mechanically? How do they hold up compared to other factions?

Also is there any particular reason why all space marines look the same save for palette swaps other than "it's easier to make the same model in grey and let the players paint them"?

>>44543617
Theyre all awful, ancient models, Im pretty sure theyre still metal, theyll cost you an arm and a kidney to buy them.

Mechanically I have no idea because nobody actually plays them because nobody hates themselves that much.

>>44542618
>DeviantArt
I think you answered your own question. There's rarely anything on there that isn't power fantasy fetish garbage that doesn't understand the system or lore and just think the aesthetic is neat.

The inquisition is a secretive organization that can requisition the use of any imperial personell on a whim.

Giving them a titan goes against their theme and purpose.

>>44542656
It may surprise you Anon, but 40k is all about power fantasy fetish garbage. That`s why we all love it.
And without any knowledge of the lore, THIS pic wouldn`t have been done.
Just saying.

>>44542207

Petra's wound – her right arm, taken cleanly at the elbow – is a serious one, fatal if not for Gabriel's swift attentions. Even so, with the redhead still clinging to life, you doubt she'll ever be able to fight again. If she had lost her left arm, maybe, but...

Of course, that wasn't the only loss. Cernunnos lost all but one of his warriors – the finest in the fairy kingdom, if he was to be believed – and the sole survivor was mad, his sanity clawed away by a nightmare pursuit through that darkened, cursed forest that Chernobog had made his home. As he had left, returning to his homeland, Cernunnos had seemed unusually taciturn, his shoulders set in an uncommon slump. There won't be any victory feast tonight, that's for sure.

Knowing full well what kind of welcome to expect – not a cheerful one – you rise to your feet and start walking, trudging slowly across blackened, dying moss and slushy snow. Making slow, monotonous progress – almost wishing for a demon to pop up and pick a fight – you make your way back to the heart of the desolate city. Once you see the familiar flames burning atop leering, tilted skyscrapers, you start to feel... more peaceful, perhaps. No happier, certainly, but more peaceful.

Stopping at the gateway, you reach out and let your hand brush against the twisted ironwork, the light squeal of ancient metal grinding together like a razor against your unsettled nerves. Maybe, you murmur to yourself, maybe not. Later, perhaps, but not now. It might be nice to visit Marco again, or even see if you can track down Cassandra. Marco, of course, is still at the Hellfire Club, while Cassandra... East, you imagine, past where Joseph was being imprisoned.

"...What do we do now?" You mumble, gathering your ideas.

"I know what we do now." Tia suggests, attempting to grab you and drag you back to the bedroom.

"Come on, Tia." You grab the armrests of the sofa you're sitting in and resist her forceful tugs. "I need a break."

"Oh, fine." She rolls her eyes and rolls over the sofa, landing sitting in your lap.

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a vast amount of allies and friends, and defeated every threat to Tianna up to now.
You recently discovered that Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress. Your forces have crushed the Bodhisattva Anointed by Dark Water, a Deathlord who tried to usurp its power for himself.
And now, on the day of your wedding, the Unconquered Sun Himself appeared to you and crowned you Princess of Creation, asking you to be an example for others in these dark times.

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?

>System?
Dicepool-like system. When performing an action, everyone rolls 1d10 when posting. the first X rolls are considered, where X is equal to attribute + ability.

>XP?
Attributes cost [current score x5] xp. Abilities cost [current score x3] xp, except Zenith costing [(current score x3) -1]. Charms cost 10 xp, except for Zenith-based charms (related to charisma and physical/mental fortitude) which cost 8 xp. At the end of every "session" (thread) you will be presented with a list of possible acquisitions.

A date? A date. A date we shall go.

By the end of the lesson, we’re both sporting a few sore spots, but are even on number of hits, kicking back in the grass to catch our breath, when a noise breaks the humdrum chatter of the village. A score of clattering hooves and loud whinnies coming from the road.

“You hear that?” Alison grins. “Those are warhorses boy-o. Seems we’ve got someone fancy come to visit.” She cranes her neck to peer at the road, but can’t get a very good view from the riverbank, too many trees in the way. “Wanna go take a closer look?” She asks, jumping to her feet, excitement twinkling in her eyes.

apperently it's now pathetic to go one on one with a race literally bred for war.

SoB only need more diverse units and better looking plastic models.

Their theme is no more boring than any other faction. If you find SoB boring, they aren't the faction for you. Don't try to turn them into something they're not.

>>44538858
>the only portrayed militant arm of the church
>hurr they're too pious

Are you retarded? That's their entire point. Next you're going to say all the AdMech guys and techpriests are too obsessed with technology or the Imperial priests are too zealous.

Saying SoB are too pious is like saying space marines are too super human and power armor clad.

>>44538858
>because they are one dimensional, beyond even marines.
In faith that's true but they actually have pretty diverse branches in terms of their role in the Imperium. Which is helpful if you consider them the militant arm of the Ordo Hereticus (secretly or otherwise) because it gives them an in at every level of Imperial society and the Hereticus can't always fight as openly as the other two Ordos often can.

There's no cost to Scribe spells anon.
Wizard's have unlimited spells to cast per day.

Be a wizard.
