>What them THEM?
>What are they based in?
To start.
>Lions Militant, Dark Angels successor chapter. They're based on a feral world and keeps close ties to their tribal origins.
>They love the Lion, and Cypher (don't tell nobody that tho)
>They hate the Assassins. Their Master of the Ravenwing got killed by a "rogue" Assassin and now they are feuding with the Assassinorum.
>They don't use tactical or assault marines. Their main forces are their expanded Ravenwing for fast assault and many, many squads of Devastators.
>their Ravenwing is now run by a council of 8 senior Black Knights and their Master of the Forge (called a Forgelord)
>Most of their Librarians (called Cloud Readers), are constantly trying to interpret their Imperial Tarot to find Cypher and discern his motives.
>Obviously, they're 40k.
Now tell me about YOUR DUDES.

First for snowflakes who trigger people!
Scourge Eagles
Progenitor: Unknown; Chapter Established during the 21st Founding
Color Scheme: Charadon Granite/Chainmail
Home World: Saer'rio
Fleet Based, favor Assault Troops and Bikes for Infiltration and Hit and Run attacks when planetside (Standard Issue Kit also includes Camo Cloaks for full Battle Brothers, some higher ranking Astartes even have camoline robes over their armor.), otherwise prefer various skimmers and fliers, although they truly shine most in fleet combat and boarding actions. The Scourge Eagles fortress monastery is a moon sized space hulk trapped in orbit of their home world.
A mutation is present within their Chapter, the geneseed slowly saps away the warp presence of these Astartes causing them to eventually causing some marines to become Blanks. This has led to numerous alterations in Chapter composure leading to maintaining two extra Scout Companies, nearly six times the normal number of Apothecaries and four times the number of Chaplains as many of those Astartes seek the Emperors Peace once this occurs for the sake of preventing the spread of the mutation and in an effort to prevent this information from becoming known to the Inquisition, whom these Astartes have a history of distaste towards.
It is not known what has caused this mutation and many brother who eventually lose their presence are required to wear special "dampening fields" as to not disrupt the precious few Librarians within the Chapter or risk discover from any allied psykers, spawning rumors that these souls join the Legion of the Damned; possibly explaining the high number of encounters the Scourge Eagles have had with these apparitions and why some of these Legionnaires have turned weapons on those who wear dampening devices.
As of the Ultima Founding, the Scourge Eagles have redoubled efforts to recover lost and forgotten information regarding the origins of their gene-seed before taking on Primaris reinforcements.

I love it.
Great, unique chapter comp, history, and methodology without the /tg/ special (i.e. they're a loyalist splinter of [anon's favorite traitor legion]).
Emblem is great too, I'd easily mistake it for a GW official sigil.
As far as the battlecry goes, I like it, but even in dog Latin, it should be "Per Imperium". Unless you meant it to be "to the Imperium" and not "for the Imperium".
>>
>>54226092
Good read into the Latin, but you read it correctly. A part of their home worlds culture is giving themselves to a cause rather than acting in service. Ad Imperium is the "amen" of their Chapter Prayers, giving themselves to the Imperium in body and soul.
Last time on Song of Swords:
Some Audatia cards
New Update Soon
Jimmy single-handedly genocides the uruk race
Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. The Kickstarter was nearly 300% funded, and we're on the fast track to kicking ass baby.
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
MEGA folder containing current version of the game and all supplementary materials.
Note that the latest version of the game is v1.3. The next update will probably be called v1.4.
https://mega.nz/#F!S89jTT7J!ozFi9GvzaFGHfBa59Ik2-Q
Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:
http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Tattered_Realms_Wiki
There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread.
We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room, but now we have a much better way to play Audatia: Tabletop Simulator! The (official!) mod for Audatia is now up and running!

"Pretentious Elitism" Edition
For all your questions on Dark Heresy (1st and 2nd Editions), Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.
Not the wargame, not Chapter Master, not Space Hulk. Inquisitor is okay, but not many people know about it.
Not sure between starting Dark Heresy 1e and 2e? Pick 2e.
>Why did FFG lose the 40k RPG License?
Because they were bought by Asmodee and that caused some sort of licensing conflict.
>Will GW make their own 40k RPGs now?
Probably not. But if they do it will likely be worse than you could possibly imagine.
Book Repositories (If you're planning to download any Rogue Trader materials, read the .txt file in the RT directory)

40k will obviously never end but it kind of sucks because we all know the imperium would be the only faction to win. They would never let a faction like Tyranids, Necroms or Chaos eventually conquer the whole galaxy
You know I'm right too.

How are skeletons a threat? Even assuming they can walk around, they lack the musculature that make humans strong. Any adult man would easily be able to kill his weight in skeletons.

So, wait, you're okay with assuming that the fell powers of darkest necromancy can substitute for the musculature necessary to walk around, but draw the line at the ebon-hued might of black magic being able to go a little further and grant them human-like strength?

Ball-of-hands man in a fantasy setting? I could see it.
The obvious reference I can offer is they Egyptian myth of Set chopping Horus up and spreading him over the land; the obvious trick is to play that up as the explanation the evil god and anyone who wants it remade offers to the PCs as to what's going on (Evil god hated good god, cut him apart, now they want to keep him from reforming in order to SMITE EVIL. And those paladins are misguided by their allies.)
My question is, "Are the monsters themed around their respective god-giblets?"

theoretically speaking, what would happen to space marines if humanity reached some level of peace were they could get away fwith having just an imperial guard, and the might of space marines was no longer necessary or efficient
what would happen? would the marines go rouge? would they be killed off like the thunder warriors? especially since your average marine is a battle hardened psychopath

They'd do what the Knights of old did when there was "Peace"
Festivals, tournaments, and policing the Imperium. Any chapter that'd go rogue because of a lack of enemies was never truly loyal to the Imperium in the first place.

At the start of the Beast series of novels (set 1500 years after the Heresy), the Imperium faces no serious threats and problems with gene seed mean that many believed the space marines would become obsolete and/or die off.

Have a couple hours. Going to be thinking aloud about my next campaign setting. Questions and advice welcomed. I'll also give me humble opinion on anyone else's ideas.
>The playable races are Human, Kobold, Minotaur, Lamia, Mothman, and Dryad
>Although other sapient races exist, only these races(excluding Dryad) have come together to form a loose peace treaty
>Other races(i.e, gnolls, goblins, orcs) aren't necessarily killed on sight, but are often seen as third-rate civilians and openly distrusted/prejudiced against
>Dryads, who are born from the natural magic of massive forests condensed into one being, haven't signed the treaty, but are treated in high regard because of the way they come into existence
>Kobolds , which are mammals, come in two distinct varieties - long haired kobolds who resemble dog-like creatures, and furless kobolds who resemble reptileshad to compromise between two people in my group who couldn't settle between western kobolds and anime kobolds

What are some essential miniatures that /tg/ would recommend? What are some miniatures that could stand in for multiple monsters?
Already have:
>Goblins x7
>Kobold x6
>Orc x6
>Spider x3
>Ettin x1
>Gnoll x8
>Green Hag x3
>Lizard Folk Fighter x4
>Roper x1
>Troll x2
>Wraith x3
>Terror Wight x4
>Bugbear x6
>Mesmalatu (Demilich/Flaming Skull) x1
>Ghast x3
>Human Wizard x1
>Bandit x4
>Dwarf Soldier x1
>Delver Sergeant x4
>Champion of Dol Dorn x1
>Whatever is in Wrath of Ashardalon Game
I know I need skeletons but what are some other essentials/interesting minis to keep a campaign interesting? I will be DMing 5e for the first time for a new group and wanted some cool minis to use.
Bonus Question (since I can't find an answer anywhere online) generally how long does it take to go 1-10 in D&D? How about 1-5?

I judge which minis to get by how cheaply they can be found online in vast quantities. I collect the following:
Hammerer
Guard of Mithral Hall
Howling Orc, Orc Mauler, any other cool-looking orcs that you can get for $2 or less
Dekanter Goblin
Carnage Demon
Ibixian
Abyssal Skulker
Medusa Archer
whatever else happens to be crazy cheap on ebay or Troll & Toad.
If you want to spend a little extra to get something memorable, I really like the new Gelatinous Cube that you can open up and stick a mini inside. Your cheapest option for getting a huge-sized dragon is probably one of those Pathfinder dragon evolution box sets. Your cheapest option for getting any kind of huge-sized mini is a Fomorian. Never buy dragonborn - the price is crazy high for some reason. Instead buy half-dragons and dragonspawn from War of the Dragon Queen and call them dragonborn.
I've found it can take up to a year meeting weekly to get to level 10. Level 5 takes much less, maybe only a month or two, because getting from 1 to 2 takes one session and getting from 2 to 3 takes one or two sessions.
