It would be very minute but it would depend on the writer and what chapter the marine was from.

>>44475946
This is gonna turn into a lolicon thread, isn't it?

>>44476002
Well I hope not. I'm genuinely intrigued.

>>44466599
Because I'm using GURPS instead?

I'm not optimistic about 5E Eberron.

I never checked out 4E Eberron, but 3.5 Eberron felt built around 3.5. e.g. racial feats were a good thing for the Warforged. I don't want it to now be: "You can add your proficiency bonus to armor class while unarmored" or something like that.

>>44466599
Because Warforged are woefully undertuned.

>Game of the Year?
I really liked Champions of Midgard, but the game I had the most fun with was Codenames.

>2015 Gaming memory?
Had a marathon session with friends back in March. Played a ton of games. It was just great to reconnect with some people I hadn't seen in awhile and sling dice.

>2016?
Psyched for Scythe and Gloomhaven. I backed Secret Hitler on KS and I'm intrigued by the videos I've seen.

>Cons?
Never been to a con. Gonna try to hit BGG con in 2016.

>>44461695
>What was your 'Game of the Year'?
I haven't played that many 2015 games, the only ones I can think of are XCOM, Churchill, and Triumph&Tragedy. Of those three, T&T is my current favourite by a fair amount.

>What was your favorite gaming memory of 2015?
Playing the Starcraft boardgame, third phase. I need to get to one more planet and build a base there and I'll win, but I'm getting threatened at my other planets as well. Shore up some defenses, throw enough zerglings at a third planet to clear one of the areas to build a base.... and end up not having enough resources. Laughs and facepalms were had all around.

>What's on your radar for 2016?
Mare Nostrum: Empires, Scythe (not backed nor hyped, but I mean I gotta try it right?), Hands in the Sea, some GMT reprints and new games, and last but not least more wargames in general. Maybe the 3rd edition of High Frontier. I don't follow boardgaming news/releases to know of much else of interest.

>Did you attend any Cons this year? Planning to attend any in 2016?
Yeah, went and poked around a bit at Gothcon. Lots of game stores set up and plenty of people more than willing to sit down and explain and/or play games. Will most probably take a look around at 2016's Gothcon as well.

>>44461695
>What was your 'Game of the Year'?
Probably Chaosmos, though I've gotten more mileage out of Two Rooms and a Boom.

>What was your favorite gaming memory of 2015?
>picking one
Various incredible clutch plays in 2R&1B at LAN parties, often tied to wheeling & dealing information as the MI6.
A friend pulling off a surprise win in Chaosmos off of a huge gamble, ending the game with one of the two mcguffins in hand without knowing which one was real based on anything but a couple subtle hints in my behaviour.
The entirety of our last TI3 game, just ridiculously tight.

>What's on your radar for 2016?
Mare Nostrum: Empires, for sure.
Might pick up a copy of Scythe when it releases.
It's even possible the next netrunner cycle will release before we all die of old age.

>Did you attend any Cons this year? Planning to attend any in 2016?
Nope, but I'm going to try and make it to a couple of the ones in SLC.

Dorn becomes so asshurt over the fall of the Emperor and the breaking of the Legions into chapters that he reunites his chapter in secret, Sells himself to Chaos to destroy the Iron Warriors and does battle with Girlyman.

>>44485532
Big enough to require several stars to power it, and it takes up a considerable portion of the webway, a galaxy spanning system.
All the Dark Eldar, and some xeno races.
Destroy it? Something that could eliminate an entire solar system wholesale.

It is the biggest ecumenopolis shown in 40k, bigger even than Terra itself.

Imagine a place whose length spans several planets all lined up and in where buildings can exists in any direction and dimension.

There are probably billions of Dark Eldar inside and probably even more slaves. The only thing that could bring that down would be several simultaneous Exterminatus and I like to think that such destruction would be enough to rip the thin fabric that separates the webway with the Warp and flood it all with Daemons.

>>44485532
spread out over a chunk of the web way with separate bases port cities and outposts that aren't directly connected
id imagine a few billion as a guesstimate
not worth it their just as likely to destroy themselves

THIS THREAD now BELONGS TO THE ORKS

>>44484308
worst in what way? the bloodthrister has good rules but building it required a lot of gap filling and magnets

I have one under the sink in the kitchen, directly across from the stove. Never had to use it though.

>>44483521
This is probably a meme but I actually did the same OP. Also reported them to the PPL for playing the radio in their workplace without a license.

Total fine was somewhere in the region of 5K. Guy had to shut his shop and go work in a supermarket for a few months before Christmas because of it.

>>44483521

Also, be sure to only buy your minis from either an official GW store, or online at the Games Workshop website.

Fire safety is a very serious issue. Make sure this holiday season that your kids enjoy the Games Workshop hobby in safety!

Lion Totem Barbarian alwas have and always eill be worth for melees in 3.5 because of pounce.

That said you should look into some Prestige Class to get something apart from feats. But to me plain Fighter up till the end always seemed fine.

To sim up, go for whatever you feel will be the funniest instead of the most powerful shit you can string together.

>>44480188
unfortunately core doesn't allow for such things, although I think there is still Lion Totem but without pounce.
It actually looks really cool and I'm gonna go check and see if barbarian variants are allowed, really digging the bear totem

Just stick to fighter OP.
Learn those defensive withdrawals.
Also sundering and called shots are a fighters bread and butter.
Shield bash and disarm rock as well.
Barbarians are great out of the gate. But a well planned and thought out fighter has dozens of tricks up his/her sleeve. More than just going into a tard rage for a few rounds and having some added movement speed.

Man, fuck Mars.

>>44468087
>in before MIDF

I dated a Martian girl once. Sex was good, but goddamn do they have some weird personal habits. Also she claims to know how to cook, but Martian "cuisine"... egh.

Still better than Earth girls.

You want a noblebright setting that goes to shit? Or do you mean it's already gone to shit, but is still noblebright?

I guess you'd have to say that all of tech was based on divine powers, but when the gods went away there was some sort of dark age.

>>44464801

Not necessarily. If he wants a noblebright post-apoc, then maybe the old order that collapsed was just plain evil, and everyone just said "enough." Now the world is disordered and chaotic, and there are problems that come about because of it, but at the end of the day, everyone's better off with the Bastard Kings gone, and there's a bright future ahead! Come on, chums, let's build a better world!

Nothing says "fallen civilization" like old roads.

Having his soul eaten.

>>44457995
He got a rubber duckie from beyond space and time.

It spoke French, which my character could not, especially being that the French language did not exist in setting.

He rode it into battle, once, as well, despite the duckie being entirely mundane save being able to speak, and being from -somewhere- else.

Land. Always ask for land.

I wrote up a band of 20 wasteland raiders yesterday, giving them all detailed appearances and an outline for their personalities.

My players will probably just blow them to bits but hey, it was fun.

>>44457972
Ignore the link in the OP, that's the one I had a brainfart and forgot two things I originally meant to include but didn't.

That'll happen, but half the fun of being a DM is designing encounters for your players.

I wouldn't take it that far, but I would say the fun is being creative in designing challenges and situations to put players in. It requires a lot more creativity than actually playing, at least in my opinion. At the same time though, I find it's a lot more fun to be a player.

On the pitch, where nuffle's king

When player's whine

we say

when your dude gfis
and he falls down and dies
that's bloodbowl

when the crowd's cheering lulls
as you roll double skulls
that's bloodbowl

snake eyes roll
ting a ling a ling
ting a ling a ling
and you'll scream mother fucker


bloodbowl spray
tippy tippy tay
tippy tippy tay
trust us there's no sucker

when your face is a scowl
as you're turn 16 fouled
that's bloodbowl

your starplayer's head splits
from a weak snotling's blitz
you will rage

intercepted by a kroxigor you lose all control

so we say
well my friend
see the pain never ends
that's bloodbowl

Second for the Caledor Leatherheads

Not my blog, but I am a wretched ball of coughs, sneezes and farts at the moment.

I'll be sorting out a couple of things this week, most pressingly the Playoffs. Until further instruction, can nobody use their current team please, of course except for the couple of round 6 games left.

I'm pretty sure Tau is the most wanked faction, followed by Space Marines then Imperium and Chaos.

Tyranids are underwanked if anything.

>>44480206
Slurried biomass detected

Tau
They are the worst form of wankery.
>be shit little species
>constant retcons that completely change them and their history
>biggest plot armor in 40k
>almost every Tau triumph is either unexplained muh superior tactics or their opponents writen as complete retards
Not to mention their cancerous fans circlejerking over their weeb power fantasy.
And the funniest part is, they don't have a victory condition so all this wank is just to sell models to the faggots, nothing more.
