9 drops, 7 command points, tons of dakka, good melee, and tanky as hell. Could it work?

Overpopulation problems would disappear as a byproduct of his activities. You asking "Would he become our God-King?", because he would likely do so like Nostromo.

Edgelord is wrecked by competent western militaries after becoming too much of a problem

He would be like Superman (Man of Steel version), get Kurze in the open and hit him with tanks, missiles, etc. Eventually he'd die but autoguns would do nothing to him, special forces would fail to bag him in my opinion.

Thanks, anon, I kind of feel like an idiot being spoon fed that review since it's the first review to come up on Google but it's definitely helpful. The idea of the parts kits can be helpful, although it might be better to hold out and abide by the buy once, cry once idea instead.

That being said, any felliw german/austrianfags here? What do you use for stripping paint? I want to redo my Necrons, but just painting over the previous layers, thin as they may be, seems wrong.
Also, how's a metallic blue for Necrons, kinda like pic related? I can use other colours to mix up too, but blue is the one I currently have at home.

>>54396609
Is it considered bad manors to go after one person until they die? I'm new to the format and even the game so I'm just curious.

>>54396609
After quite a bit of consideration, I've decided to try stripping my Eight and a Half-Tails deck and building Sigarda Enchantress. Suggestions for neat (ideally powerful) interactions? Or should it mainly be the legacy staples with Sigarda swinging to win and Sigil/Ascension as alternate win conditions?

I'm keeping 8.5+CoP because I like it as a flexible, midrangey strategy and because it can be tutored with the same cards that find the other two-card combos I enjoy: Melira+Unlife to eke out a few extra turns in a pinch (which can be a bit more durable in Enchantress), and Linvala+Living Plane.

>>54396666
nice quads

Depends on the boardstate. Most of the time though, its a bad idea, but that's the consequence of politics in the board. Even if you think its a bad idea, a player will go after a specific opponent just because of a grudge.

>They don't offer alternatives, or even roleplay their characters offering alternatives. They just want normal guy to know he's dumb and not a real nerd.

>They are both fucking her while she lives there rent free.
>The last place she lived, she did the same thing, and it ended in a quagmire of drama. Despite the mountain of evidence that this girl is manipulative and nuts, they are both convinced it will work this time.
>I suspect that she's legitimately mentally ill, some mix of bipolar and narcissistic.
>She wants attention from them in the middle of the game.
>Basically sits in the middle of the group and puffs her chest out while making baby talk. It's the least subtle attempt at seduction I've ever seen.
>They want to finish the game.
>She gets mad and storms off.
>We finish the session.
>I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. I didn't want to run another game, but I didn't rebuff them entirely. We were in the military, and I didn't want to sour a working relationship over tabletop games.
>A few weeks, I'm back at their place with some other people from work for a party.
>Come to find out the girl is also banging the alcoholic.
>The alcoholic breaks down and cries during the middle of the party about his divorce.
>One random guy is not buying crazy girls pleas for attention so she slaps him.

>Everyone sees this and tells him to fuck off.

I stopped hanging out with them. Last time I heard anything the alcoholic guy was getting divorced from the bipolar girl.

Most of my bad sessions are just run of the mill murderhobo gameplay, nothing crazy. Has anyone here had a game get physical?

I live out in the middle of the rural us. the closest group of people to me are a bunch of normies.
We meet for anywhere between 2 to 6 hours by the gameplay will only end up taking about 1/4 of that MAX. DM rarely prepares.

Players
>Edge Lord - usually plays a sorcerer or wizard Standard murderhobo who gets uncomfortable if he cant just kill things in any given situation. If there is an option to kill someone he will do it. Will never play standard races.

>Captain Obvious - Extreme murder hobo; wants to just walk up and murder things. It's not the fact he doesn't want to roleplay but, he role plays as someone who has no filter. Sometimes he enjoys going directly against the plot and ignoring any and all plothooks. If there is a rumor of a bandit uprising in the east, he'll insist we go west. If there are rumors of undead rising in the north we go south.
Combine this with the fact his character will openly announce our plans to our foes and any attempt at stealth or subterfuge is near impossible with him around. Try to sneak? he'll tell the enemy about how they're going to get stabbed or shot by the rogue. Try to lie your way out of a situation? he'll attempt to reveal you.

>The only two players aren't worth mentioning

One ending to a campaign went as such
>Go to village to meet the rogue's thieves guild associates.
>By the time we get to the village, they've been caught. The captain of the guards is staging a public execution within an hour. he intends on making examples of out them.
>As they're being marched up to the platform to be hung, we try making a plan to set them free. I'm a bard so I try to make a distraction, to get the attention of the now growing crowd as well as the guards while the rogue sneaks around and sets them free.
>Edge lord mage wants to set fire to a few houses to get their attention
>Captain Obvious announces our plans out loud to everyone, in front of the crowd and several guards. He wants to fight them.
Guess how it ended?

Fuck, I've done goofed the thread link.

Oberth is the cancer ship. Just look at it, placing the crew quarters between the nacelles like that, just baking them in subspace radiation. Getting assigned to an Oberth is a good sign that Starfleet is trying to murder you.

Rolled 2 (1d6)

So, for that anon last night that wanted some character creation, here's a character I'm creating for Star Trek Adventures (with the help of /stg/):
Name: Fortizima Svenson ("47")
Species: Human
Traits: Human
Attributes:
CON-7 FIT-7 PRE-8 DAR-8 INS-8 REA-7
Disciplines:
COM-1 SEC-1 SCI-1 CONN-1 ENG-1 MED-1
Talents: Resolute
OK, next step is to choose an environment: where the character grew up. Then we give a Value based on that environment. Roll 1d6.

>>54325213
>rolled 2
That means Busy Colony. That means something like Luna, Mars, Alpha Centauri, etc. - something long-established and significant. Where is our girl from?
The Value should be something that reflects this background. This is where I need the most help here, as it's the most free-form part of character creation: it's basically how you're going to RP based off your character creation.
Additionally, 47 gets +1 to DAR or PRE, and +1 to COM, SEC, or SCI.
I mean, I could do this by myself, but doing it here is more fun I think.

It is 48 years since the Football War began, with El Salvador invading Honduras. The cause of the war was economic in nature, namely issues concerning immigration. These existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The Organization of American States negotiated a ceasefire on the night of 18 July (hence "100 Hour War") which took full effect on 20 July. Salvadoran troops were withdrawn in early August. Despite the elapse of more than forty years, a formal peace treaty, a decision by the International Court of Justice and the support of the Organization of American States, the dispute remains active.

Honduras and El Salvador met in a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier. There was fighting between fans at the first game in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa on 8 June 1969, which Honduras won 1–0. The second game, on 15 June 1969 in the Salvadoran capital of San Salvador, which was won 3–0 by El Salvador, was followed by even greater violence. A play-off match took place in Mexico City on 26 June 1969. El Salvador won the decisive third game 3–2 after extra time. That same day, El Salvador dissolved all diplomatic ties with Honduras, stating that "the government of Honduras has not taken any effective measures to punish these crimes which constitute genocide, nor has it given assurances of indemnification or reparations for the damages caused to Salvadorans".

Late in the afternoon of 14 July 1969, concerted military action began. San Salvador City was put on a black out and the Salvadoran Air Force, using passenger airplanes with explosives strapped to their sides as bombers, attacked targets inside Honduras. Salvadoran air-raid targets included the airport facility at Toncontin, which left the Honduran Air Force unable to react quickly. The larger Salvadoran army launched major offensives along the two main roads connecting the two nations and invaded Honduras.
