Nah, you'd need at least three scratches for something like that.

>>53556007
Yes. But getting the metal to forge would be a lot harder.

No, forges are ancient relics found scattered all over the world. The most brilliant minds conclude that a race much more advanced than ours put them here to trick us into forging metal weapons to stab ourselves with.

To date, forges have never been reverse engineered or duplicated. For that is how advanced they are.

I really don't like the Thousand Sons changes and not even really from a balance perspective.
I don't want melee beatsticks or mortal wound dispensers, I want lots of sorcerers casting crazy spells that do interesting things.
I wanted the Aspiring Sorcerer to be more like the 7th ed Scarab Ocult Sorcerer not the other way around.

It also really sucks that tiggy got to keep his flavor rules but Ahriman and Magnus didn't.

How "Traditional?"
Because I've always been a fan of Chess, but I also play D&D.

Getting mad at people who like what I don't like or don't like what I like and engaging them in a circular venomous argument until the thread autosages, because to stop arguing would be to admit defeat even though the argument is circular, going no where, accomplishing nothing, and just generally wasting my time.

Try to have fun. If something hinders your fun, try to amend the issue.

>>53555131
Don't play it. D&D is a shitty meme game better suited for retarded 'lol i rolled le ebin natshural 20, lol so random xd' comedy games than anything even vaguely approaching a deep, immersive role-play experience.

And here is the big dick dragon himself.

It's strong as fuck. Not viable for Standard I think, but Commander playes will be overjoyed.

No one would blame you if you said that you had horrific losses after a warp rift leaves all that's left of your planet as a single fortress

I like it how the Fallen are now in the Chaos Codex.

>>53554151
It's a ruse, the DA are the real fallen

Is the art new? If it is it suggests it's real

The collector's number makes me say fake, unless there's a fuckload of gold cards in the set

>>53553918
I feel like doing this would be too much effort without enough payoff - I mean, I give my characters siblings and parents and relatives, but they're just shadows in the background, or threads of the backstory.

It's like you want them to be killed/raped.

E3's announcement is probably just their new online game isn't it?

>every general is not actually about that buxom beauty

It's been 4 years. The smut pipeline needs to get on this potential.

>>53553609
Exactly, just bullshit. "Oh look, you can spend real money to get virtual cardboard, but there's no way you can scan your giant piles of real expensive cardboard into the database, so there's little point."

Also, I would support every general being about Nin's titties.

gunpowder was discovered by pure accident in china, and wasnt used for guns for a while, other than the not quite gun fire lance

it would not take much a stretch to imagine that gunpowder was never discovered, or was simply dismissed as yet another failed attempt to discover the elixir of immortality

if they discovered advanced chemistry, and thus the ability to predict the chemical properties of a mixture before they mix it together, than they could work it out for themeselves

>>53553499
Sadly, we have no comparison to measure against. Though it seems no cultures cut off from the outside world seem to have developed it independently. So maybe it isn't.

Wasn't there a sci fi book based on the idea that there was two paths of scientific thinking that could be followed: One lead to black powder and over time improved firearms, the other lead to FTL. So modern Earth got invaded by FTL aliens that were using Napoleonic black powder weapons to fight.

>>53553499
17th century? Absolutely there might not be gunpowder.

Past that though, you start confronting the problem of advanced chemistry. It becomes increasingly unlikely that black powder, or any functional propellant, won't be discovered by accident or intentionally.

In other news Dwarf Fortress dwarfs are the best dwarfs.

You say "they", but it was just me and this is the first time I've been on 4chan in months, so clearly the regulars need to take more initiative.

Completely new DM here with a three player party. They want to know what they should play, I'm not sure what to tell them beyond "What do you want to play"?, which I have, repeatedly. But they're min-maxing assholes and I love them for it, so what's a good party structure for total newbies?

The universe is fucked, all civilization is in small pockets and hidden places, protected from the giant clusterfuck that is infighting Ork Waaghs

Might be pretty cool desu ne. Kind of becomes a Nobledark Points of Light setting

Orks fighting creates more Orks, who fight creating more Orks.

In the Warp there is only Khorne, who is powerful as fuck due to all the fighting, so his demons are everywhere fighting Orks, creating more Orks and more demons in the process.

Orks and Khorne are are happy. Everybody else is dead.

>>53552693
They did.
Still are.
Never stopped.

You ought to learn how to read. In the points section it clearly stated that the unit costs do not include the weapons. So if you take a look at the weapons list you will see that some are free, like bolters, while others cost a given amount, like lascannons. The full cost of a unit is obtained from adding these two numbers. Obviously, if you exchange weapons, you have to add the cost of the new weapons to the unit cost.

If you couldn't figure this out by yourself, wargaming in general might not be for you.

>>53552489
more the case of: i could not belive it.. so a Defiler costs (with standart equiptment) 268 points (Battle cannon free, Reaper autocannon 18, Twinn H Flammer 34, claw is free)...

thats A LOT of points...

Hellbrute would be 72 + 27 for multimelter - so 99 points...


i love my defiler but 268 points are A LOT
