Oh, you're in for a shitstorm.

>>44105945
Read op again, anon. He isnt saying there were knights in the roman era.

>>44105897
So, OP, a couple facts you can check yourself with a bit of research:
>Full plates made with exact specifications of the medieval plates that co-existed with muskets have been known to even withstand rounds from modern firearms, such as 9mm and .38. This doesn't happen reliably but they resit penetration more often then one would think.
>Plate armor coexist with firearms for over 500 years. In the late napoleonic age, cuirassiers, as the name suggest, would still have breastplates that could, often, stop a bullet from advanced rifled weapons or muskets. Medieval plate could reliably, although not all the time, stop a musket bullet (See origin of the term bulletproof yadda yadda)

>Heavy crossbows can pierce things modern firearms sometimes cant and old firearms often couldn't, like a car door. They are, though, extremely slow to reload as they require a cranking mechanism that has to be attached and detached between reload and firing.

>Ancient age armies had many different types of armors, and not rarely they would field people with no armor, just clothes or a simply cotton shirt. But shields were always a strong presence in ancient warfare. A thick oaken shield can stop a couple musket bullets, perhaps even more, without shattering.

But tower shield/scutum and muskets sound like good match

>>44105868
Possible? Sure. Doesn't seem likely though. In 40k, there is only war. In Blood Bowl, there is only Blood Bowl. That would imply to me that most people spend extensive periods of time training to join teams.

There may be some shows for those whom, for whatever reason, are incapable of playing but they'd probably be Blood Bowl related...

And the idea of warhammer equivalent of modern TV shows doesn't tickle your fancy?

A natural documentary by a duo of imperial mages (jade and amber orders) guided by a savage orc shaman/shroom farmer in the exploration of dangerous flora, fauna and ecosystems all over the world

Stuff like interviewing a dark elf hydra trainer, commenting battles between a manticore and a gryphon, reading and testing occasional theories coming from various scholars around the world mostly trolls actually and occasionally following beastmen protests against brets for the unregulated destruction of drakwald's biome.

They obviously have Australian accents

They could at best release specialist games and support sporadically "collector" "historical" models

They don't want the old world, they want something that can be milked with continuous additions and stories

Rules for battles set in the old world, or massive fantasy battles in general, could get done only when they realize they incentive sales as long as they are willing to spend resources into testing and a creative team, which doesn't seem to be present bar for the forge world team who is still run by fanatics of their own creations

Chaos warriors are not superhuman

Ew.

But a date ra- I mean love potion.

Crafting a potion of Instill Lechery, an enchantment of Afflict Hedonism, or even dare I say the forbidden Fuck Me Randy hex.

By default, a third eye wouldn't give much of a bonus. Two eyes give you depth perception by letting you see things from more than one point of reference; a third wouldn't do much that the first two couldn't.

That said, if the only differences are aesthetic, then there's not much point in making an alien race, is there? Besides, why would it evolve three eyes in the first place if they didn't give it any advantage?

>>44104955
>why would it evolve three eyes in the first place if they didn't give it any advantage?

For the same reason plenty of things happen evolutionary.

All vertebrates on Earth have two eyes, four limbs, and at most seven natural digits on each limb.

This is because our earliest common ancestor was built this way, and not enough change has yet resulted to have alternatives crop up.

>>44104955
Maybe they used to peek from underneath water with it or something like that in the past? Maybe it's a sexual selection thing like a peacock's tail.

That's not Angron.

Warhammer Fantasy used to have a minigame based on jousting called 'Joust!'. Maybe check that out for help.

>>44104692
Was it a miniature game? I'm not looking for miniature type rules, I need something that would mechanically reflect the nuances or "feeling" of the sport through the gameplay. Like how Deadlands uses poker-like mechanics in some places because poker is Wild West relevant and symbolizes the escalating tension of Western films, etc.

>>44104665
Factors and actions that affect the outcome of a joust and might be turned into rules or skills:

Quality of the horse. How fast does it reach a full gallop, how steady is it's gait, how calm is it?

Quality of the Knight: Horsemanship and experience is a huge part of this, how good is he at making the horse start moving or change it's speed before the moment of impact (maybe make someone misjudge their aim, you're not going completely straight at each other after all, you are both "off center". How steady is he in the saddle (weight might also be a factor here). How good is his aim, how strong is he, does he know any tricks, be they illegal or just clever (like only lowering his lance at the last moment in order to knock the opposing knights lance aside before impact)
Quality of the armour, are there any weak spots, previous damage/repairs? Are they both wearing superheavy tournament-only type armour or something more functional? (appropriate for earlier time periods or lance vs lance combat in battlefield or knights challenging each other on the road type scenarios)

What lances are being used, "show" blunt lances that splinter much easier or sturdyier ones? Or is it to the death, with sharp points?

Basically the knights are trying to hit each other with lances that impact with the combined speed and mass of two horses and armoured men and stay in the saddle. It all boils down to various ways to make your own lance strike true and transfer as much of that energy as possible to the other knights or at least get a clean hit and broken lance (a common way of scoring jousts that don't end with anyone knocked out of the saddle, knocking of crests or helmets/visors/pauldrons might also earn you a win in case both stay on their horses)

I want to make a primarily scions army. What would be some good allies to supplement my army?

>>44104649
Depends on the style youd like to go for.

Inquisitors offer psyker support and are almost entirely Elites, guards offer prime heavy support but their elites ARE scions, marines have good units in most slots so can fill in gaps, same with SoB who have good heavy and elites but fall behind on troops and long range AT.

Theres not a whole heap left of either, but it would need to be extremely free form since most of the ones I've seen include lots of subjective "just so" shit

Yeah making rules for that? Good luck.
But with a good group? Magic.
