I think I'll ask my boss if he still smoke weed, I know he did not so long ago

i recommend doing very small doses if this is your first time

Warhammer crime and horror books are usually neat

Are the wrath and glory pre made campaigns any good? I’m looking to try and dm for the first time, probably gonna use homebrew rules to make it more balanced, any recommendations on homebrew rules?

What if that AI that absolutely roasted tf out of that tech priest went into making new technology in secret?

#

Like a lot

Bet they could snag one and start making new shit again just can't be caught

And not let the age of strife happen again

Was it the age of strife?

The catacombs of mars kind of just

Kill people

There’s a lot of shit down there

"is there two armies hiding under your planet tech priest?"

#

Would be a pretty cool if a book was wrote bout roboat girly man managed too steal an AI too aid him or heretical tech priests craving new technology

hallow plover
#

I don't think Guilliman would condone AIs

#

They were banned even in M30

crystal forum
#

dude any primarch would kill an AI on sight

#

no question

knotty acorn
#

Hey if its willing too help I think it's a toss up

#

But hey you know books I don't

crystal forum
#

AI partially caused the age of strife

#

the emperor was very much against them

only giving the dark angels some neutered men of iron to use as weapons

#

Belisarius cawl is already pushing the limits with his Cawl inferior thing

#

And he probably has more sketchy things up his sleeve

tough haven
#

He definitely does

dusky scroll
#

"Cawl me maybe"

#

Speaking of Cawl, how is he not branded as Dark mechanicum?

crystal forum
#

he's very good at making people who question him "disappear"

#

as goes most mechanicus politics

#

plus he got special treatment from roboute

#

now he's pretty much untouchable

#

after primaris stuff

languid meadow
#

my goat

crystal forum
#

you have a goat?

crystal forum
#

meow

arctic talon
# dusky scroll Speaking of Cawl, how is he not branded as Dark mechanicum?

He’s not a traitor who defected during the heresy so calling him a member of the dark mechanicum would be inaccurate, he’s been called a heretek and been branded that by some forgeworlds including Metalica.

The fabricator general of mars refuses to call him a heratek and the Martian parliament also is divided on it, furthermore the Prefecture Magisterium also refuses to give an answer on what their stance on him is so the Mechanicus Inqusition seems to be mixed opinion wise as well.

#

Tldr mechanicus politics are messy

tough haven
#

Cawl avoiding the allegations like a goat

arctic talon
#

Less so avoiding the allegations more so being stuck inbetween the mechanicus liberalizing and staying in its old ways. Furthermore the political clusterfuck that is mechanicus politics.

#

Cawl was already a relatively powerful Archmagos before the primaris reveal

#

He was moving a lot of war material

#

And he has both many rivals and many allies

hallow plover
#

He's also harassing Guilliman to make him Fabricator General

#

"Trust me bro"

#

Cawl's own words

#

Is the current fabricator general the same one that's in thr Vault of Terra trilogy?

green loom
#

Technically speaking

#

It ISNT cawl's own words

#

Cawl inferior kinda has a mind of it's own

#

And wants to be fab gen

#

Meanwhile Cawl proper is just confused why it's asking lol

crystal forum
#

yeah idk why cawl would care about politics

#

he's just in it for the love of the game

opaque coyote
#

"Follow restrictions"

#

And

#

"Not creating AI replicas of personalities"

#

I find it funny that he literally created an AI replica of Guilliman's personality

#

Just to test on whether he would be pissed off on whatever bullshit he did

#

"Hmm should I lobotomize all orphans and give them robot legs?"

#

"Let me ask Guilliman Inferior. I'm sure he would love the idea!"

once had a dream a few days ago that i rememberd but i watched the cinimatic of cawl and trazyn and when i went too bed that night i had a dream that they were great friends but trazyn got too attached and had too "scrub" his mind of that emotion thus ending the friendship. dreams are weird

#

it was like trazyn just looks away while we see cawl walking away depressed as fuck

opaque coyote
#

Like do they have the equivalent of like

#

Mana but

#

Warp

#

Or does it feel similar to like

#

Physical exercise where you start to feel tired

#

Except once you collapse. Instead of just fainting at worst

You get possessed by daemons and become a city destroyer at least

celest dome
#

I think it's more like feeling electricity coursing through you

#

At low voltage/current you'll be fine, but at higher one

sacred ginkgo
#

Going with this, a psyker is a like a lightbulb filament

#

You can run power through it to create light

#

But the more you run through it the more strain you place on it

#

And if you run too much you just pop it

#

Stronger psykers are brighter bulbs that can take more power

celest dome
#

And all the Psyker's equipment is made to limit the current, so they would be filters, transformators

opaque coyote
#

Also I will propose something

#

You got an email. It's a plane ticket to GW's HQ in the United Kingdom. They're inviting you to come. After a plane ride to the UK, you take a bus to Nottingham.

And there, in all of his Glory, is James Workshop. It turns out that you were artificially made. Built to be a loyal son/daughter/other. To help lead the world to a paradise of plastic figurines. Where no pile of shame exists. Where everyone knows how to thin their paints. But unfortunately you were whisked away out of his reach by his ex-wife. You were lost... until now.

As a celebration, James Workshop gives you the power to change one thing about 40k and/or Fantasy (includes AoS). No limitations. You can even add female SMs if you want.

What would you change?

The lore in the new || shitty || skins is interesting.

All of the skins have either been retrieved from operatives who are MIA, or dead. The only exception is the Bolter, which is apparently in mint condition, having been retrieved from an Enforcer's weapon cache.

Also: || If bodies are found near the weapon, they are retrieved and turned into Servitors ||

rocky gale

#

Interestingly, one of the Psyker staffs, the new skin that is, notes that it was so 'corrupted' that it required 'Alpha-Level Purging'.

What the hell? Also, I doubt hand sanitiser made from rashuns and corpse starch is going to 'clean' chaos corruption...

Do space marines lose some of their abilities if both their gene seeds gets harvested while they are still alive?

crystal forum

i can't think of a single instance of a gene seed being harvested while the astartes is alive but i'm sure it has happened

hallow plover
#

Also I didn't knew they had two geneseeds

#

Per marines

#

How does a chapter gain new geneseed? Do they implant only one and a second one grows? Then they harvest them during the marine's lifetime / at the moment of death

opaque coyote
#

For lack of a better term

opaque coyote
hallow plover
#

That makes sense

opaque coyote
#

Again, it's how they make more marines

hallow plover
#

Otherwise they would just lose numbers overtime

opaque coyote
#

Although funnily enough, the Geneseed that CSMs have are usually corrupted

#

And unusable

#

They usually raid Geneseed storages as a result

#

Although I'm not sure if their Geneseed being chaos'd actually affects them?

#

Or if they just don't really notice cause of Warp Juice

So basically it's kinda like having a dad that like.

He raised you. He genuinely loves you. He still does.

But he also did some shit to you while being unaware

And some days you just wanna punch him

Got a genuine question

#

So Exterminatus usually leave the planet body intact

#

Like

#

Like actual rock

celest dome
#

Depend

opaque coyote
#

It's just that everything else gets vaporized

celest dome
#

Exterminatus is a protocol

opaque coyote
#

Right?

celest dome
#

Not a weapon

opaque coyote
#

Okay lemme specify then

#

Cyclonic torpedoes

celest dome
#

Those yes

opaque coyote
#

Does it blow up the actual planet or just the surface

celest dome
#

Surface

opaque coyote
#

Okay

#

So I was thinking about like

A tech priest exploring an exterminatus'd planet. Not for any reason other than just

Seeing the destruction

#

And I imagined like

#

An entire desert turned into glass

#

Just pure glass

#

Is that plausible

storm jungle
#

Uh

#

dont you need like a massive laser blast or something to make that ala Covenant ships

opaque coyote
#

Or would the desert just not even exist

storm jungle
#

my science is not good

opaque coyote
#

Technically enough explosion power can make it like that

#

Enough heat

dusk patrol
#

It’s sci fi bullshit you can make up what you want

#

Glassing worlds is hardly outside of the scope of 40k

rose thorn
#

the sand just needs to get hot enough fast enoguh

storm jungle
#

Yeah this

opaque coyote
#

There was a bomb the USA tried to make that would've

And I'm not joking

Literally destroy the entire world. Most of the details are classified and they never completely built it. But they got far enough to actually make models of the fucking thing

dusk patrol
#

Just lance strike a shitton of the world or whatever

rose thorn
#

pretty sure there is glass in teh sahara desert

opaque coyote
#

Project Sundial

#

I think it's called

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

There’s plans made in case of a zombie apocalypse

opaque coyote
#

True

storm jungle
#

yep found it

#

Libyan desert glass or Great Sand Sea glass is an impactite, made mostly of lechatelierite, found in areas in the eastern Sahara, in the deserts of eastern Libya and western Egypt. Fragments of desert glass can be found over areas of tens of square kilometers. Like obsidian, it was knapped and used to make tools during the Pleistocene.

rose thorn
#

thank you L3

:3

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

Wargaming DOJ nerds get bored and do this stuff all the time

rose thorn
dusk patrol
#

Helps to be over prepared and have a plan for wild scenarios

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

And it’s good training to practice and prepare for them

opaque coyote
#

Like somehow it stopped midway due to some incident from the space stations or something

dusk patrol
storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

Or an error in programming

storm jungle
#

Exterminatus is usually "this planet needs to be destroyed"

#

if theres an error they'll prob just setup for a second strike

gray umbra
#

Lemme just casually ignite the atmosphere in retaliation

opaque coyote
dusk patrol
#

There’s a bunch of ways they destroy worlds already

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Just orbital strikes until it’s gone is one slower way

opaque coyote
storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

And due to many factors, they didn't manage to complete it

#

Only leaving it half bombed

storm jungle
#

or like servitor-satellites left to watch for any intrusions

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I was thinking of it in a warp storm

storm jungle
#

or just what they did to Vraks which is "dont come here" beacons, forgot the name

opaque coyote
#

That basically is gravitates ships towards it

#

Anything that gets near simply gets sucked into the planet

#

So there is a bunch of minor, major xenos, Imperial Survivors, Chaos worshippers.

Basically everything under the sun in a half blasted, Apocalyptic planet split into four hellish zones.

rose thorn
#

might rob you of an idea and put my gsc on a planet of glass, the surface is so hot and so bright they pray the nids will bring an era of darkness or soemthing

opaque coyote
#

That would be neat

rose thorn
#

shame there is arelady acult like that

#

damn

dusk patrol
#

Be aware: you will never make an original idea for homebrew

#

So don’t worry about it

opaque coyote
#

Somebody has already thought of it

#

If you have

dusk patrol
#

It is and isn’t but the point is don’t be constrained by “someone did it first”

rose thorn
#

lmao yeah

#

but i wasnt very devoted to it anyway

opaque coyote
#

So don't worry about stealing ideas

#

Just don't steal

#

Work

rose thorn
#

im just saying shit until i finally like soemthing

opaque coyote
#

Same lol

#

Basically you can steal an idea for a story

Just don't like

#

Copy the structure

#

There are like 10 billion dystopian YA stories

#

And as somebody who has read them

rose thorn
#

i need to hard focus on teh religion

#

thats all i need to do

opaque coyote
#

...a lot of them are complete ass

#

I still like The Giver for what it tries though

#

Mainly because of how the perspective slowly differs

#

And how the protagonist technically doesn't like rise up or whatever

#

He just escapes

#

And it's unknown whether he even survived at the end

#

So yeah I like that book

#

It good

#

Movie adaptation sucks ass though don't watch that shit

opaque coyote
#

Whatever is equivalent to a priest

#

Essentially have their story act more as mythology

#

A biblical story

#

Leave some parts up to interpretation

tough haven
#

Damn speaking of homebrew

#

I gotta come up with the plot to my one shot for wrath and glory

crystal forum
#

you were born in feces, molded by it

#

there's your start

tough haven
#

Rn what I’ve got is that it’ll be the lowest tier of archetypes, and that the party will be somehow contacted or hired by the archmagos of the local explorator fleet that’s now stranded in the system due to the great rift. The arch magos will want you to investigate the death of a tech adept he sent to the hive city/under hive to deliver/collect something™️ of value, what exactly? He won’t say. I wanna try to do a warhammer crime sorta deal, but with plenty of combat

#

Any thoughts on the concept or where I could go with it

crystal forum
#

boring. where's the feces in this storyline

tough haven
crystal forum
#

good

#

off to a great start

tough haven
rose thorn
#

whata the hell does the imperium use timber for?

#

is tehre anything made of wood in the imperium

arctic talon
#

Burning

rose thorn
#

what buildings

#

oh fair

arctic talon
#

Some buildings are made of wood

#

I know it’s hard to believe

#

What we use it for irl

#

But not as common

#

Wood is a luxury good

rose thorn
#

HOLY SHTI I HAVE A MOTIVATION FOR MU CULT

#

i was thinking about

#

stellaras

#

and i remembered the here be dragons preset

#

what if the home world, before it was taken over by the imperium

#

venreated like gaint space animal

#

before the imperium killed it

#

then when the cult spread to the planet

arctic talon
#

Works

rose thorn
#

the cult believes that the tyranids will be the return of the big space animals

#

I DID IT

#

it works on any planet

#

it isnt hyper specific

#

now i just need to decide the planet and how the cult sprads

#

the patriarch is the children of their space dragon gods

#

and the cult must pave the way for their return

#

Their planet originally worshiped a space dragon that protected them, but when the imperium took over the planet they slaughtered the space dragon. Eventually a genestealer reached and the cult sees the patriarch as the child of their space dragon god. They believe a new era of space dragons are arriving to the galaxy and they must prepare the galaxy for them, believing they will be protected by their god.

#

FINALLY

#

HOLY SHIT

tough haven
rose thorn
tough haven
tough haven
rose thorn
#

okay so

tough haven
#

In imperium nihilus in a hive city

rose thorn
#

w/ a one shot

tough haven
#

also is it feasible that these fucking faceless goons were contacted by such a powerful authority

rose thorn
#

does your players have their charactes

#

rs

tough haven
#

like theyre literally lower than skitarii

tough haven
#

I'm trying to make a rough outline while I wait

rose thorn
#

that is the mos timportnat thing

#

build your oneshot around your players and their chracters

#

it will improve teh flow greatly

#

anyway yeah

tough haven
rose thorn
#

thats the easiest way

rose thorn
#

introduce the xenos half way

#

chaos cult want funny eldar chaos killing gun

#

eldar want chaos killing gun

#

or something like taht

rose thorn
#

hey is there a warden in chat? i just need to dm them

#

its nothing serious :p

#

just tell me when ur avaliable

tough haven
rose thorn
#

works too

#

or you can haave all 3

tough haven
#

Idk what xenos I'd want to do

rose thorn
#

drukhari, necrons, eldar

#

tau?

#

i guess?

tough haven
#

orks are my favorites but its hard to make them

rose thorn
#

unless yo uplan for it

#

the xenos probably shouldnt be a planetary threat

tough haven
#

I'd also love it to be necrons but thats kinda hard to include for tier 1 characters lol

rose thorn
#

am i forgetting a xenos?

#

i feel like i am

tough haven
#

alright one guardsman, some fuckin random ganger, a inquisitorial scribe, and a preacher, go kill 4 necron warriors

tough haven
#

or nids I guess

#

votaan?

rose thorn
#

yeah but what woudl gsc have that ppl want

gray umbra
#

have a one time side quest going on

tough haven
gray umbra
#

where some flayed one is murdering people

tough haven
#

also its a one shot so idk if I really have time for side quests

rose thorn
#

i wish 40k had like

tough haven
#

if the players and I like it I can do a whole campaign

gray umbra
#

idk it just seeemed like a cool idea

rose thorn
#

more than 3 xenos

tough haven
#

but that would require attention away from bolterporn

#

and GW doesnt like that

#

cause xenos dont sell as well

gray umbra
#

its kind of hard when the average human gets destroyed by most xenos

tough haven
#

I could do it baggit and clodde style where its like one aeldari trying to recover it

#

and that could be the BBEG

#

who hires various gangs to find and obtain it

#

thoughts @rose thorn

#

what should the mcguffin be though

rose thorn
#

drukhari are your best bet for bbeg in an underhive

#

the xenos would rather do it them selves

#

have like the BBEG be some dickwad who likes xeno tech

tough haven
rose thorn
#

yes

#

that happened in necromunda

gray umbra
#

ur trying to avoid chaos right

tough haven
gray umbra
#

i agree

tough haven
#

I could have them in a larger time frame

#

but not as the only threat

rose thorn
#

rich

#

people

tough haven
#

good call

rose thorn
#

or cold trader

tough haven
#

some like minor noble

tough haven
rose thorn
#

dpeends

#

if your players wanna be freinds with the law make it a cold trader

#

if they hate the law make it a noble

#

you can ask them or decide which one half way through

tough haven
#

and then also the (insert xenos) as a third party trying to recover it as well

rose thorn
#

yea

#

have the gang play like a gorde

#

have the xenos play super weird and tricky

#

or uh bulelt sponges

#

dpeending

#

and have the bbeg goons be hyper elite

tough haven
rose thorn
#

you cant really predict if your players think that

tough haven
#

and I'd have to like foreshadow whoever is the main players

tough haven
rose thorn
#

yea h but rich peopple is easier to stomach to kill

tough haven
#

hate the law but also hate the cold trader, cool! kill them because fuck you

#

greedy? cool! kill him because I want it

rose thorn
#

and provides a variety in enviorment

tough haven
rose thorn
#

that works

tough haven
#

I might maybe make it lower hive, like just above underhive

#

so you can kinda see middle level imperial society but its still y'know, kinda overtly shitty

tough haven
#

also, who would initiate this quest, I feel like an archmagos is too lofty

arctic talon
#

Enginseer?

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Also works

#

Just any lower ranking techpriest works

#

If you want a techpriest

tough haven
# arctic talon If you want a techpriest

Alright, so tech priest contacts party via servo skulls, gathering them together because uhh I guess hiring random assortments of characters is cheaper than hiring the local gang?

#

or more trustworthy?

arctic talon
tough haven
#

Idk we can say the tech priest has been combing for people with the proper personality matrices to maximize mission success, minimize expenditure of resources, and the likelihood of betrayal

rose thorn
#

hang on

rose thorn
#

i assume

tough haven
rose thorn
#

thats what the necromunda version is

tough haven
#

I was using hadrons term

rose thorn
#

idk waht the admech version is

#

oh

#

OH WHIIOS

#

sroryr im doing my homewokr at the same time

#

and misread the siutation

tough haven
#

this guy

rose thorn
hallow saddle
#

its a cool model

rose thorn
#

i mean i guess its still right

#

actually wait im stupid

#

its the same thing

#

holy shit im too tired ot be readin

#

but my hw is due tomorrow lol

hallow saddle
#

perfect time to get distracted by warhammer then, haha

rose thorn
#

i had it saved but i lost my notes

tough haven
#

So this technoarcheologist hires the party to investigate the death of a tech adept that was sent to recover a "valuable discovery" of which he will not elaborate to the party, citing insufficent access levels, which is actually a device of aeldari manufacture that he wishes to study, which is what? It has to be powerful/useful enough to be above the mundane cold trade that happens on Gilead Primus, but not so powerful that its too important to the wider setting

#

this is like a 2-4 hour long one shot ideally

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

thank youuuu

tough haven
#

but it cant like destroy planets or some shit

rose thorn
#

necromunda has like

#

4 boxes that open a portal to hell

#

(this is a meme)

tough haven
# rose thorn why not

because these characters are mundane nearly faceless characters to the setting that shouldnt really have too big of impact comparitively

rose thorn
#

make it a styx, little blue friend :3

#

the players will love it

#

wait

#

my bad

#

not styx they are called uh

#

Caryatid

#

styx was a character's caryatid

tough haven
#

And the threats should be only to like a small local area

#

since they are only tier 1

rose thorn
#

these things follow who will lead a great future

#

and are worth a metric shit load

tough haven
#

And they are of eldar make?

rose thorn
#

oh no\

#

my bad

#

for eldar uh

#

OH duh make it a soul stone

#

or the armor of a pheonix lord

#

pheonix lords are weird

#

bascially they are dead but possess people who wear their armor

#

i think?

#

pretty sure there is multipe of the same pheonxi lord

#

but i could be wron

#

theres loads of missing ones

tough haven
#

seems hardly worth all this over

#

to humans that is

rose thorn
#

true

#

do the pheonix lord armor than

#

mask

#

same thing

tough haven
#

I cant kill someone with it or make something to kill someone with

tough haven
rose thorn
#

oh yeah

#

do you need osmething that can kill someone

#

?

tough haven
#

something that would be valuable to cold traders, local gangs, nobles, mechanicus, and the eldar

#

I was making a joke about humanity

#

and what we define as valuable

rose thorn
#

The Phoenix Armour is advanced and legendary Eldar Aspect Armour[2] worn by the Phoenix Lords. Containing the soul of the Phoenix Lord inside, this allows the warriors soul to be reincarnated into any new wearer. The legendary armour is so finely wrought that it can protect against almost any weapon.[1]

tough haven
#

god damn, one paragraph

#

xenos lore moment

rose thorn
#

yup

#

this is oen of the most importnat thignst eh faction has

#

and hasnt been mentioned since 7th edition

tough haven
#

where if its a space marines left anklet there will be 17 books about it

rose thorn
#

also

tough haven
#

Idk I feel like a phoenix lord's soul is still probably too important

#

sorry if thats nitpicky

rose thorn
#

also they are plenty of lost ones

tough haven
#

my only issue is I'm not sure if humans would find it valuable, maybe some, since it would likely just look valuable

rose thorn
#

theres a handful of howiling banshee masks

#

that do weird shit

opaque coyote
#

hello chat

arctic talon
#

But it’s more specifically just

#

Going over a few Phoenix lords armor

rose thorn
#

oh my bad the lex said 7th

arctic talon
#

Tbf

rose thorn
#

oh okay

arctic talon
#

That’s the only time they uh

#

Generically

#

Name it

#

Phoenix lord armor is unique and custom

rose thorn
#

oh whoops

arctic talon
#

It’s weird to put them in the same category

rose thorn
#

waht was i thinking of then

arctic talon
#

No

#

The lexicanum page is like

#

Fine it’s just

rose thorn
#

oh

arctic talon
#

Idfk

rose thorn
#

lol

arctic talon
#

It’s weird there’s generic lore

#

For Phoenix lord armor?

#

Like ????

rose thorn
#

only a few of the phoenix lord armor has unique lore

#

on lex

arctic talon
#

Yeah

rose thorn
#

(and fewer dont have red links)

arctic talon
#

Because that’s just picked and chosen

#

In any case Phoenix lord armor is generally just

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Armor unless an aspect warrior puts it on

#

Just invent some aspect shrine gun

#

Idfk

#

You don’t need to draw from something that exists

tough haven
#

most people would see it as like cursed or somehow wrong cause of the psychic energy

arctic talon
#

If you want a gun a human can use and can murder a marine

#

Why not a Fire Dragon melta

tough haven
rose thorn
#

alternaitvely if you are silly youca n just do durkhari drugs

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

Anything related to aspect warriors is gona be rarer

#

Then generic eldar gear

tough haven
#

That could be a simple enough mcguffin

#

with obvious appeal to all parties

arctic talon
#

Like a generic eldar melta is like

#

Okay sure

#

A fire dragons melta gun is like

#

This shit literally will melt a baneblade in half

#

And it’s a flamer

tough haven
#

can anyone use them? I forget or does it have to be eldar

#

or is it simple enough where you just point the trigger and it kills

arctic talon
#

They’re just heavy as shit

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Not always

#

A fire dragons fusion gun is basically just

#

A multi melta on meth the size of a melta

tough haven
#

One of my characters wants to be a low level unsanctioned psyker to start (he does not know what this would entail)

#

do you think thats fair/balanceable for tier one archetypes

arctic talon
#

Idfk

#

Just run the normal psyker thing

#

For which system

#

Btw

tough haven
arctic talon
#

Prolly fine

tough haven
#

sanctioned psykers are too high tier for the setting

arctic talon
#

Are there no trash tier Psyker options?

tough haven
rose thorn
arctic talon
#

Other way around

#

But yes

#

Eldar as we know it came out in 2e

rose thorn
#

Ah

arctic talon
#

And they like every other faction in the game shared guns
