Wouldn't it be super easy for Nurgle to wipe out the Imperium? They intake all biological matter so it would be simple to sabotage a whole agriworld. And Nurgle always has another disease waiting to be used so it's unlikely they would be able to cure it away. If they were able to do so that would be a huge threat and I imagine that Nurgle would send out more of his strength to counter them.

Thoughts?

Nids are so good at biology that Nurgle's shit is only a minor issue for them.
Also, Shadow in the Warp fucks over daemons just as it fucks over psykers too. Daemons can't draw sustenance from the Nids, and the shadow makes it hard for Daemons to manifest.

>>43621391
The Hive Mind blots out Chaos in areas where many Tyranids are concentrated, so Nurgle's diseases would lose their Warp-based effects and be reduced to simple biology.

Additionally, the Tyranids are the logical extreme of the practice of evolution, which is Change. Thus, Nurgle's sphere is opposed to them and his power is weakened by needing to work uphill, in a sense.

Additionally, the Hive Mind understands at some level the detrimental effects of Chaos, and as a result Tyranid fleets tend to avoid Warp Storms where possible. While Chaos-taited bioforms do occur on occasion, Hive Fleets break their usual course of infighting when they appear and gang up on the tainted portion without consuming them.

>Shouldn't they be hiring one good artist to do a wholesome experience? Like Tarot
It would take a long, long time to do that an keep quality up.

Take Feng Zhu for instance - dude does speedpainting for living, basically. It still takes him 8~ hours to bring a painting to completion, so you figure 1 image a day, five days a week, right? Wrong, process doesn't work like that. Client tells the artist what they want, then the artist sends back sketches, does any research as needed, then dives into the painting.

And - I want to stress this - Feng's work isn't really all that polished, and he does a lot things that aren't practical for card art that are practical for concept art, and his paintings are still another 8 or so hours from a being well polished. So now we're a MAYBE one painting every two days, if nothing happens to fuck up the artists life.

Hiring multiple artists gets around the inefficiency of relying on a single artist. And companies aren't going to pick top tier artists for an image that's going to be printed at a very small size - a lot of problems can be hidden just by making something smaller, and a lot of people will overlook or just miss fundamental problems if a piece is well polished.

>It would take a long, long time to do that an keep quality up.

But the effort could make it worthwhile given no one else does it. Or get several artists and an overseer.

>Or get several artists and an overseer.
That's basically what they do. The Art Director oversees the work of a bunch of freelancers. As I said before, the people in charge just don't care beyond a certain point - "good enough."

In-house artists would allow for more control and for the AD to push for greater quality, but that's more expensive and the returns aren't going to seem worth it to executives. They'll push for "good enough," the place where quality is high enough most people won't mind and where the price is low enough for them to stomach. And the less popular the game, the more you can expect the line of quality to drop. Quality costs money.

I can't speak to how popular the VTM card game is, but I certainly don't see them hanging alongside Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon cards at Wal-Mart. The money probably just isn't there for them to be bothered with higher quality art, since the better artists will gravitate towards Wizards since they can afford to pay better.

Some kind of weird fat dog I think

>>43620769
in what way?

>>43620769

This is an improvement in my opinion; in the past I always thought their legs were too short.

>>43620769
This looks better than a regular dreadnaught.

All-kitsune party. Good idea, best idea, worst idea?

>all of the shedding

Nary an inn would hold ye for longer than a fortnight!

TIL Tactician on Farlander is a waste of 3 points because he never leaves range 1.

>>43620800
He wants Stay On Target and Advanced Sensors. Anything else is optional. Adv Sen to TL, SoT to do anything at all. Reroll blanks to eyeballs then spend your stress

>>43620590
Just watched that episode, can't believe they have both a-wings AND b-wings now. Where the fuck where these ships at the battle of Yavin or Hoth? Fuck Filoni and his new canon.

Because no one has thought of it before. Go write something about it now.

>>43620466
>>43620442
Hurry the fuck up OP.

.... because they totally can in a lot of settings? Or lawful beings? Or machines?

>>43619972
You seem to be trying to troll but your misspelled and grammatically terrible theory is just as valid as all the others.

Why the fuck not.

>>43620003
not trolling high as fuk

His last one's in September. October had flew by, and now it is November.
So yeah, OP's claim that QD's been gone for a month is well-grounded.
I miss our sassy bug waifu, whose snark could launch a thousand spaceships.

>>43619869
I... I just want to research again...

It's a very important card for drafting aggro.

R for +3/+0 and HASTE. And flashback to boot? What's not to like?
HASTE
A
S
T
E

>>43619692

Haste makes waste.

>>43619163
No, because that's a stupid concept that was popularized by anime when they vapidly tore aspect of earlier, successful animes without understanding what made the original shows good.

>>43619414
But it kinda makes sense

Just take creatures from the monster manual and start giving them class levels

>>43619071
They become an NPC so I can play a better character.

>>43619081
Unless my party's current plan is "Go fuck up the ruling pantheon in a fistfight", this would be my answer. It would make an interesting story, but not an exciting game.

>>43619071

Use my character to kill the GM highlander style and run a game that isnt shit

Buy 40K and turn it into Age of Sigmar part 2

>>43618784

GW already did it with AoS.

And Pathfinder already happened.

I suppose I could reduce Warmachine to AoS-level rules and fuck with all the WAAC gamers.

>>43618807

you don't just fuck with the WAAC gamers
you fuck everyone.
