The Cabal had such potential, but the writers fumbled it

Man is all like last samurai hobo goblin

Man is all like last samurai hobo goblin
yeah from what i'm seeing even their basic infantry can take a beating
but i don't know how you will really give them protection
rose thorn
Problem is it can be shot off the board very easily
Give them a ward against only shooting and it would be fine
queen laurel
Problem is it can be shot off the board very easily
yeah that's the thing they can take hits
but they can literally be peppered with rockets and other artillery
rose thorn
They really can’t
queen laurel
They really can’t
i mean in a melee sense
rose thorn
Yeah that is fine
queen laurel
i agree that in range they struggle
If you play the slow infantry it's gonna be annoying to fight a range army
that's why they had the boars and Ragerz added
allows you to play a lot more hit and run with giant monstrous cavalry
rose thorn
And they are too fragile
queen laurel
And they are too fragile
yeah
they always keep one thing they have and that is their damage in close range
So you either have to sacrifice your durability for speed or your speed for durability
But yeah they don't really have a protection against range stuff now that I think about it
rose thorn
But they don’t have enough protection in the first place
They aren’t able to get stuck in fighting
queen laurel
They aren’t able to get stuck in fighting
i really expected them to be better
like their entire thing is that they are slow but you know they can at least eat enough damage to get there
rose thorn
They just have a general rules problem of not being fast enough or hard enough
queen laurel
But if you don't want that you can go for the pig cavalry
queen laurel

it sounds like they got cheated in the update
they got new cool looking units but their entire thing that makes them their entire own thing you know durability and melee damage but being a bit slow isn't even that good now
queen laurel
Literally it’s just because of poisons
is it damage over time meta?
in aos right now?
rose thorn
Tahts the ability I mean
The meta in AOS is like
Shooting and giant monsters
And wizards
Cities counter and have all of those
queen laurel
Shooting and giant monsters
Okay they can deal with the giant monsters they have a lot of anti monsters
rose thorn
So they are pretty good right now
rose thorn
Okay they can deal with the giant monsters they have a lot of anti monsters
Yeha but they can’t get to the monsters constantly
queen laurel
Yeha but they can’t get to the monsters constantly
Yeah and like their spells are basically fine
It's thematic and does the job
But my god they need something to get quicker to the enemy huh
queen laurel
They LOVE kragnos tho
Make sense
But man they sound like they are on a very rough position
Either they get buff or their counters get nerfed
rose thorn
Yeah
All green skins mostly are
Except troggoths
Supposedly troggoth are the best infantry in the game right now
Nothing else about GSG is good tho lmao
Kragnos is like so meta we took him when he was here priced
queen laurel
Nothing else about GSG is good tho lmao
Damn so Trugg the Troggoth King is the GSG choice then?
or Kragnos still
rose thorn
The best kruleboyz list is 30 boltboyz, kragnos, and your favorite hero
It’s not like, kragnos being op it’s just his buffs make or break armies
(It’s his run and charge)
I don’t think ogors use him but I haven’t checked
queen laurel
It’s not like, kragnos being op it’s just his buffs make or break armies

Ironjawz used to have this too

To be fair that was barely a battletomb
queen laurel
To be fair that was barely a battletomb
Yeah but you know they were separated
rose thorn
Because the other factions didn’t exist
queen laurel
Now at this point i feel like the only reason they don't separate the Orruk warclans is because of lore
rose thorn

It depends on what they’re selling and if they think the inquisitor is a puritan who’s gonna kill them or is perhaps a bit more radical and might be looking for something.
Basically, it’s what you’d want it to be.
Some cold trade stuff is much more sanctioned than others and some more radical inquisitors probably source from them, or keep them around as ways to get information and what not.
While others would have to be constantly vigilante for the more typical inquisition who probably aren’t gonna take kindly to it .
Or other Imperium authorities with similar ideals. Arbites definitely aren’t gonna be happy about that either.

I thought like a trigger in one of the statues around the club could be a good way to access the area

It’s not impossible
It would definitely raise the level of subterfuge they have
Or maybe a RT is involved
storm jungle
I kinda like the idea of other xenos species being there but I find that unlikel...
For that it would need to be like a SUPER closed off high-security fancy area thing. Like Necromunda for example has Helmawr have the Stranger's Spire which is essentially an entire spire dedicated to greeting offworld xenos races that are cognitive enough to trade with people.
Worst case they just smuggled themselves in for the deal

Maybe one is a merc who knows if he gets caught he’s fucked so he’s tying up the loose end, maybe one is some noble who is in way over his head so he flees
Maybe one is a cultist looking for some device for some plot, so they’re gonna fight. Maybe there’s other inquisition or rogue trader agents or reps there and they’re not interested in leaving without what they want
Or some are just crazy

I could just have all but a few that I want in the fight make a resolve check

remember these people cannot even bare even being in equal standing as a normal human
For a dark eldar delegation party to show up "formally" it would need to be face-to-face with someone in extreme high standing like a governor or an extremely powerful noble of some kind.
For something like this you'd very much just send a proxy-agent

Btw I find it funny how the Deldar
Potentially have the most destructive weaponry
Like they have fucking black hole launchers
The only other ones who are able to do that were DAoT humans. And now the Imperium only has one ship that can do that
green loom
Oh wow
opaque coyote
But they literally intentionally gimp themselves because they want people to suffer
Like that is next level malice
"Making it a fair fight? Nah I just want you to suffer"
It's the equivalent of like
Going pistol only in a fucking tactical fps
(or valorant)
And winning
Like that is literally just salt on the wound
I also find it really funny that most of the Imperium doesn't know the difference between Craftworld Eldar and Deldar
And in-universe it makes sense
But I cannot imagine the fucking arguments that have happened because of that
dusk patrol
The only other ones who are able to do that were DAoT humans. And now the Imperi...

"I DON'T COUNT THEM AS THE SAME FUCKING RACE AS US ALRIGHT?"
insert 3 hours of arguing and racism here
afterwards...
"...Well that was the easiest conversation I had with a M-Imperial. At least he had a reason to hate us this time."
Honestly I doubt Craftworld Eldar would blame Humans for being suspicious if their only encounter was Deldar
Like
If I only met Deldar
I would fucking hate Eldar for the rest of my life
If I lived in the 40k verse anyways
Because I am not. I like em

opaque coyote

opaque coyote
I think both the funniest and saddest moments of Warhammer 40k for me
Yes both at the same time btw
Was when a Sister of Silence, who was so Blank-pilled, that she literally is invisible to most
And most just
Don't register her existence
Was forced to fight Kharn
And then it cut to Kharn being confused
At having a number go up in his counter
Like he genuinely stopped for a moment to be like
"I don't remember killing somebody"
Then he just shrugged it off and kept murdering
dusk patrol
She got unlucky, tried to slip under his guard and he jerked suddenly and killed her. He didn’t know she was there.
opaque coyote
Yeah
It's the saddest moment for me
Because she was ignored for all of her life
Alone because most people literally are incapable of even registering her existence
And she gets killed for it
She gets no justice. No fairness. Not even somebody to share her pain with
She dies alone. Not even a martyr because nobody will remember her.
At least the guardsmen usually have a family member to remember them.
She doesn't
But it's also the funniest moment precisely because of Kharn's reaction
Because I can just imagine him literally stopping for a moment and whispering to himself
"What the fuck?"
While scratching his helmet/nails
Literally so confused at getting an unseen kill that his homicidal rage was stopped for a solid second
I think it also encapsulates 40k very well
Very dark. A story about people in one of the worst ways the galaxy and humanity can devolve to
But also very funny because of it.

Hygiene he did
So he just said
"Fuck it"
And just stopped doing it
Since why try to smell good if you literally can't

So do you think its better to actually make the acolyte make a check with a bonus when revealing their inquisitorial rosette, like as written rules? Or do you think its better to just have them auto succeed whatever you're asking the person to do
cause I genuinely cant even think of how someone would refuse the inquisition
grave cypress
okay to clear things up i got the names mixed up. though not quite innacurate, i meant cian for the hero complex. but yarric is also skilled and amazing. but he is more of an old grumpy strategic orckiller. commissar ciaphus cain however, you get to read about the hordes of whatever he takes down (mostly tyranid genesteelers and xenos) while mentioning the emotions and begruging duty to keep his reputation. usually putting him in a spot to where he almost dies kinda often before usually being saved by skill counted as luck.

they are a bit outdated and from the mid 2000's but compared to Cain every story has something going for it compared to the latter's more repetitive format

Make it a choice which might be a bad idea for some people
Maybe they don’t want everyone to know they’re inquisition agents or whatever
