Unrelated but I’m upset the ynnari are just a footnote now, they seemed like an interesting concept, that was executed really poorly. Now they’re two paragraphs in a codex, nothing more

Most likely not.
But you could have a RT that is close to the Admech, even if they wouldn't be a TP

yeah i imagine a RT trying to claim their right on a magos and make them a successor/ part of their house hold wouldnt go over too well with the admech
being allied with them is just kinda an necessity but trying to go full on "you belong to me now" would be a step too far

I’m aware of what the statement was originally
storm jungle
Similarities are not the same as emulating

yeah if you're emulating something you need to completely copy or try to copy every single facet they have

Also Nintendo might try to copyright strike you

Funnily enough we are probably complete opposites in the way we will employ the sultanate
You would probably employ the elite infantry I would probably employ the giant monsters they can bring to the field
i always have a penchant for liking the heavy hitters in a faction after all
dusk patrol
I’d have to look at their rules, I’d probably try to bring at least one Brazen Bull

my favorite part when people design ottomans are like
literally just steal the janissary design and nothing else

the musket cans and the hat is pretty spot on

what where'd you get that
finding lore for this thing is rather challenging you see

i mean hey it seems the treatment for this one is less threatening

It’s less horrific yeah

It’s less horrific yeah
can they actually seem to treat the kids well
which is a good thing after all you want your super soldiers to be loyal and the first path to them being loyal is not treat them like monsters

New Antioch is definitely the most baseline elite faction

assassins and alchemists
