I'd do it in a heartbeat, put me in charge of GW

rocky gale
#

Yea they won't do it because it's an option that pleases no one

gleaming gale
#

Didn't they just launch the chorfs for it or something

urban spire
#

darktide bolters have like a thump-hiss, which i think is right

rocky gale
#

Ending AoS isn't going to ingratiate any WHFB fans, it's just going to also piss off AoS fans

urban spire
#

like the thump grenade launchers make and a hiss of propellant

Are Horus Heresy models designed to be more complex and higher difficulty? Every Horus Heresy model I see in the store mentions it as a 15+ model and it’s an expert kit

I can see something like a plotline about someone trying to merge the realms sure, but I do not in 1000 years believe they're wiping the slate clean and having Archaeon kill Sigmar in a humiliating way

age of just chillin'

#

Nagash ascends to true godhood and starts ressurecting skeletons in 40k

#

This causes many issues for the imperium

solid horizon

nagash, my favorite necron overlord

AoS ends and the skaven escape to 40k

Just call me whatever honestly

solid horizon

I mean

opaque coyote
#

Kinda questioning atm

#

So

urban spire
#

oh ok

solid horizon
#

isnt technically a helbrute a concept more than a dreadnought ?

urban spire
#

good luck with it

humble shoal
solid horizon
#

basically demon engine but people

humble shoal
#

More layers

rocky gale
#

We've had dumbasses saying AoS was a week away from it's own Endtimes from the very beggining, it's the Warhammer version of Iran getting nukes.

storm jungle
#

its not a daemon engine lmao

solid horizon
#

I know dumbass

#

helbrutes are machines fused with a human

urban spire
#

had to ask cause i keep getting blindsided by femboys pfps

humble shoal

You mean erebus

CAN'T YOU BELIEVE IT?

humble shoal

WHFB will rise again AoS is just one week away from death

humble shoal
storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

Honestly

If Erebus ever gets killed off.

How should he die?

humble shoal
urban spire
#

tbh i'm kinda fine with the current state of things, it's not like endtimes had any impact on total warhammer

opaque coyote
#

Nah

jade holly
storm jungle
#

Yeah

solid horizon
#

cant you technically make a helbrute from something else than a dreadnought

opaque coyote
#

Like

solid horizon
#

why john warhammer has never thought of using sarcophagi into other machines than dreadnought

vagrant fox

#

is he stupid ?

humble shoal

#

is Szarekh debatably the strongest individual in 40k that isn’t a chaos god or god of any kind?

urban spire

who the fuck is szarekh

humble shoal
opaque coyote
#

Mmmm...

You see, the Emperor is actually Turkish. And Trump would have a seizure if he...

Actually NVM yeah he's totally Trump

jade holly

#

idk probably not the strongest individual though

Dreadnought in another dreadnought

jade holly

The ruler of the Necros

Imagine if Szarekh upgraded his stuff by using a Void Dragon shard

storm jungle
opaque coyote
#

So I can stop pestering you

solid horizon
#

I guess you gotta spam devastating wounds on him and hope he fails his inv save

jade holly
solid horizon
#

I'd say it's doable if you have a doomsday ark or similar piece of gabagool death ray

solid horizon
#

also remember you dont win a game by killing everyone

urban spire
#

that's definitely how you win

solid horizon
#

even if you do so, in the end if your opponent has more strategic points than you do it's over for you

gleaming gale
rocky gale
#

I don't win unless I see the light leave my opponents eyes as I take every last one of their models

solid horizon
#

this is why kids you dont make an army exclusively out of large vehicles

#

because they have SHIT objective capture

jade holly
#

Had a LoS you took so much time and effort to perfect? Fucking delicious meal right there

urban spire
#

forcing your opponent to play a 16 hour game as they gradually kill every single one of your models seems very krieg

opaque coyote
#

Pewter is a vital mineral

solid horizon
#

16 hour implies small apocalypse scale

jade holly
#

they don’t call me the Iron Stomach for nothing

urban spire
#

5 turns?

#

there's turn limits on 40k tabletop?

solid horizon
#

I played against krieg once but they had no loss because they were hidden in their artillery line

solid horizon
urban spire
#

fucking wild, baffling

solid horizon
#

5 turns and you count your OCpts

urban spire
#

i don't care, i don't play the tabletop

solid horizon
#

player who has most wins

urban spire
#

but still wild

opaque coyote
solid horizon
#

though there are different objectives depending on your gamemode

urban spire
#

there weren't turn limits when i played warmahordes

rocky gale
#

Eating is so passƩ, the real move is to simply knock it over with a single finger while looking at the player with disgust and then saying "Pick it up"

solid horizon
#

total anilihation probably has no turn limit

solid horizon
#

but then that's a gamemode for turbo autistic morons with no strategic mind

vagrant fox
#

Maybe I'm a lesbian at heart

urban spire
#

well do you like women?

vagrant fox
#

That sounds like a good time

#

Usually, gotta do a weathercheck on that

solid horizon
urban spire
#

well sounds like you're most of the way there, now dissolve this blue pill under your tongue

solid horizon
#

and stratagems

#

(no this is not a space chuds 2 reference)

opaque coyote
solid horizon
#

dawn of war fans when they find out table top has no relic points

urban spire
#

i have never played the tabletop and i never will, probably

opaque coyote
#

I checked for the nearest GW shop

#

It is

urban spire
#

5 turn limit sounds vile though, especially if 5 turns takes a long time to play out

opaque coyote
#

Like 4 hours away

solid horizon
#

imagine needing a GW shop to play

opaque coyote
#

Idk there's not really any local Warhammer clubs or anything

#

There is a tabletop club but like half the people there are assholes

urban spire
#

it's like a 2 hour train ride for me to reach any city, minimum

solid horizon
opaque coyote
#

Or just some suburban city

#

That has like 20k at most

urban spire
#

i live in norway

opaque coyote
#

Oh yeah

#

That makes sense

opaque coyote
#

Should've known it was Europe judging by train

#

Then again Amtrak exists

#

Sucks ass

solid horizon
#

theres deployment phase, scout phase, infiltrator phase, movement phase, shooting phase, charge phase, melee phase and all the other bullshit

#

I always forget when command phase it

opaque coyote
#

Oh

thorn pecan
rocky gale
#

For charging

solid horizon
opaque coyote
# solid horizon

More importantly what about units that are farther away like Tau mechas

urban spire
#

is there a rule for simply shooting the enemy while they try to charge

opaque coyote
#

Or do they also charge in

solid horizon
opaque coyote
urban spire
rocky gale
#

You don't have to charge

opaque coyote
#

Okay good

rocky gale
#

Charging is optional

solid horizon
thorn pecan
rocky gale
#

You aren't forced to charge

opaque coyote
#

Thank you

solid horizon
#

a lot of units are good when they don't move, those with [Heavy]

solid horizon
urban spire
#

@vagrant fox what br are you at anyway

solid horizon
#

they're simpler now than they used to be back when I started playing

opaque coyote
#

Tabletop games scare me in general since I think

solid horizon
#

so it was easy to releard everything

opaque coyote
#

I have been in like

#

Two DnD campaigns

#

Both have ended with drama

#

So uh

#

...

solid horizon
#

see tabletop more like chess but extra funny

urban spire
#

oh that reminds me i've been neglecting my star trek play by post game

#

oof, feel bad about that

gleaming gale
thorn pecan
#

Aight, I’ll give it a try at my local GW store then lol

vagrant fox
urban spire
#

oh sheesh everyone plays that game more than me

opaque coyote
humble shoal
#

Last dnd game I played ended in slurs

solid horizon
#

reminds me I gotta prepare my datasheets cause I have a game saturday, I keep forgetting all the stats

vagrant fox
#

Considering I only got to 8 despite playing since closed ground beta, I think I've paced myself adequately

opaque coyote
#

Ngl it actually makes me not want to play it kinda sucks

#

But it was fun while it lasted

solid horizon
#

for now im focused on painting my skitarii because I like to feel like a pretty princess on the table ✨

thorn pecan
#

Man y’all DND sessions are interesting. Mine just ends after 2 sessions cuz of the ā€œI don’t have timeā€ type shit ppl

solid horizon
#

I'm also convinced a paintjob gives you extra luck

urban spire
#

i do like airplanes

solid horizon
#

my painted decimator daemon engine survived several baneblades, space marines demolition squads, aeldari fire lance and demolisher tanks

#

I believe it is because it was painted

urban spire
#

made a depression purchase of a premium plane a couple years ago, and you know what it did fucking pull me out of my depression to fly a jet around and get obliterated in every fight

opaque coyote
#

Maybe I should try Dark Heresy out

gleaming gale
vagrant fox
#

I'd like planes if I was any good at it but oh well

opaque coyote
#

Try to DM a one shot with my friends

#

But I have never DM'd before

solid horizon
vagrant fox
#

That's just what players(derogatory) are like

gleaming gale
#

Yeah, I'm going to sit him down and have a talk about it next game because his character fucked up anyway and might get executed lmao

thorn pecan
#

And then you don’t have to deal with him again (if he doesn’t make another character and rejoins your campaign)

solid horizon
opaque coyote
#

But yeah any advice for

#

DM/GM

gleaming gale
#

Uh

opaque coyote
#

Cause I was thinking of trying out Dark Heresy

#

Specifically making a one shot

gleaming gale
#

Don't make any detailed plans for your campaign

#

Players will derail it from the first chance

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
#

Also

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
#

the golden rule

#

your players are smarter and dumber than you think simultaneously

opaque coyote
#

So just like people in general

#

Got it

rocky gale
#

Okay that advice kinda doesn't work for Dark Heresy unfortunately

opaque coyote
#

It's with my friends so I do know them

rocky gale
#

Because you need to basically plan an investigation for them to solve

urban spire
#

you can make detailed plans, but you have to be aware that your players are going to derail. to this end, make sure your detailed plans aren't rigid. if your players veer away from something cool you had planned, simply excise the cool thing and put it to use later

gleaming gale
#

Yeah, if you run Imperium Maledictum/Dark Heresy you have to sit them down and explain in the first place what the stakes are and what is expected of the party

#

and the consequences of not doing what is needed

rocky gale
#

Yea your work should go towards creating a framework, rather than a rigid structure

opaque coyote
rocky gale
#

Expect them to go off course and have general ideas so that you can react when they do

urban spire
#

before a story hits play it lives in your head, where it gets to be as modular as you want it to be

gleaming gale
#

I've been running my game for two years and at this point I'm just making plot hooks and decisions on the go mid-session xd

#

Surprising both myself and the players

opaque coyote
#

3 days at most

urban spire
#

also don't be rigid with your players if they make suggestions, let them do some work to flesh out the world if they feel like it

gleaming gale
urban spire
#

i've actually never run a oneshot

opaque coyote
#

I have an ending planned where they encounter a word bearer

urban spire
#

that might be true!

opaque coyote
#

They either can escape, join, or fight

#

Because it's a Space Marine they might die horribly

rocky gale
#

Like my first encounter for my D&D group was going to be them fighting a Shapeshifting slime monster in a traveling circus, they went to the circus and saw the slime but didn't engage with the plot hooks which would lead to them learning it was shapeshifting and eating people and in the end they just wanted to leave the Circus, so I let them.

opaque coyote
#

And if they all die, that would basically be the ending

gleaming gale
#

A small suggestion is if it's your first time GMing, Imperium Maledictum is more newcomer friendly in terms of gameplay and not as stretched out rules than Dark Heresy

opaque coyote
urban spire
#

GMing is really cool and fun if you're in the right headspace for it

gleaming gale
#

IM is basically Dark Heresy 3 anyway

opaque coyote
#

Isn't it similar?

gleaming gale
#

Yeah, but you're not hardlocked into the Inquisition

#

you and the party can create a patron out of any faction

rocky gale
#

and now at some point in the future they will encounter the circus again, only now instead of only starting out the slime will have replaced all of the staff and be much more powerful.

urban spire
#

otoh if what you actually want is to play the game and you're GMing because nobody else wants to, it's fucking torture

opaque coyote
#

It was torture

#

The game fell apart after like two days

#

So

urban spire
#

very normal

opaque coyote
#

But yeah one of them is usually the GM

#

But that's because they like it

#

But because I'm GMing

#

(being the basic bitch that I am I have never done so)

urban spire
#

one of my girlfriends is badly forever GM'd because she's an actual game designer and is constantly running playtests

opaque coyote
#

Maybe they'll have a break

#

From that

opaque coyote
#

Play testing sounds like hell ngl

urban spire
#

nah it's fun

opaque coyote
#

Mainly on the designer end but even on the tester end

#

Because you have to

#

Intentionally find giltches

#

And stuff

#

You basically have to be somewhat of a dumbass so that they can actually find problems

urban spire
#

tabletop rpgs always have the narrative component to smooth it out, and if you have an experienced GM, that's panacea for any system difficulties

gleaming gale
#

Btw there is also Wrath and Glory which is more of a powertrip simulator

opaque coyote
#

True

gleaming gale
#

It even has a Darktide adaption

opaque coyote
#

Okay not that much

#

I won't like have too hard encounters

#

You

#

You get what I mean

gleaming gale
#

IM is deadlier at the start xd

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
#

They can get gibbed by a hive ganger with an autogun in a single turn

opaque coyote
#

Yeah I kinda want it to have it act as like

#

A pseudo introduction to 40k

#

Since I am the only person in the friend group

#

That knows about it

#

Like they don't fully know what a Space Marine is

#

Why do you think I talk here so often

gleaming gale
#

And never should they in-game

opaque coyote
#

I have fucking nobody else irl that's interested

gleaming gale
#

Marines are supposed to be a myth for the average Joe

urban spire
#

if you want your first gm experience to be hell you can do rogue trader

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
opaque coyote
#

Like some

#

Fucking villain

rocky gale
#

Rogue Trader is always a race to the bottom

opaque coyote
#

And if they join

#

They'll literally just join the forces of Chaos

#

That's basically the only choice that guarantees survival tbh

gleaming gale
#

If you run IM, marines are not even a stat bloc in the system, they are much above the character power

opaque coyote
#

Of the one shot

#

I'll expect them to fucking die

#

Especially if they choose to fight

#

Mainly as an introduction to what Space Marines are

#

Powerful, inhuman.

#

Cruel.

winter pine
#

I want to try Imperium Maledictum for the "forced to do shit for your boss they don't want to do" element of a Camarilla VtM game

opaque coyote
#

But also due to being a word bearer, and a relatively nice one at that, they'll give the chance for mercy

gleaming gale
#

Make it a Marine Malevolent, when they ask what was that, "Oh, this guy fights for you btw"

opaque coyote
#

Join chaos

#

Or die

opaque coyote
#

The problem is that I actually do want them to get to the ending

#

And I have no idea what to do if one of them dies normally

#

I was thinking of the Inquisitor just sending another team of rejects in

#

Because he has a bunch of them and it's just a mission where they're going after a cult

#

Basically

gleaming gale
#

Creating the patron allows the players to assign boons and liabilities to the patron that affect the party

opaque coyote
#

Not even a relatively large one. It's like...

The type you'd find in an underhive, in the corner of a dark alleyway, type of cult.

gleaming gale
#

You can give the patron the boon to send a squad of guardsmen to aid the party for example, if a player dies, just hand a guardsman to him

opaque coyote
#

Good choice

#

Yeah I'll warn them to not put too much care into their characters

#

But I am worried that they wouldn't have fun

#

If they die too much

#

But that's up to me and balancing it

#

fun

gleaming gale
#

If you feel like it you can always throw the hook 'if you enjoyed it this can become a full campaign'

opaque coyote
#

Also does Imperium Maledictum have rules for Abhumans like Beastmen

#

One of my friends is a furry

gleaming gale
gleaming gale
#

I think Felinids are covered by those unofficial rules too

opaque coyote
#

Nice

#

If one of them chooses abhumans, I'm definitely making up slurs against them

#

By the NPCs mainly

#

Unless if it's an ogryn

gleaming gale
opaque coyote
#

Every bit that we get

#

Honestly

#

I'm beginning to think that they're like

#

Battle Beast's race

gleaming gale
#

You should probably tell them felinids are not catgirls, yeah

opaque coyote
#

Like Lion Furries basically

opaque coyote
#

Just more cat than girl

#

Than the generic anime ones where they just have like

#

Ears

#

And some cat behaviors

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
opaque coyote
#

There's a cat girl that acts like a cat

#

Like fully so

#

Grumpy as shit, annoying, lazy

#

She's the best character

urban spire
#

reality is perfect

opaque coyote
urban spire
#

thank you reality

#

izutsumi

opaque coyote
# opaque coyote

Honestly if I ever depict Abhumans, this is kinda what I imagine a felinid would be like

opaque coyote
#

I can never spell her name right

#

But Izu is definitely my favorite example of a catgirl

#

Cause she feels like an actual cat

sacred ginkgo
#

Actual spoilers ||because she is||

opaque coyote
#

I read the manga

#

Dw

urban spire
#

both the manga and the anime are wonderful

opaque coyote
#

But yeah, I wish more cat girls were like Izu

gleaming gale
opaque coyote
#

Tbh I either think of Felinids as either Izu

#

Or like this

gleaming gale
#

They can probably be both

opaque coyote
#

My most egregious headcanon is that the reason why Felinids don't have any depictions is because they switch between Furry and generic anime catgirl depending on the temperature

sacred ginkgo
#

Oh my fucking gods I just realized why I recognize Erik's VA in mh wilds

opaque coyote
sacred ginkgo
#

He plays the halfling in dungeon meshi

opaque coyote
solid horizon
opaque coyote
#

Honestly something that I am disappointed in is that he doesn't have a deep voice

sacred ginkgo
#

I thought Erik sounded familiar for the longest time and resigned myself to being insane but this convo reminded me I'm not actually and have heard him

urban spire
#

i love felinids because they're like the bird aliens from battletech in how they piss off the nerds

opaque coyote
#

Half the Abhumans that exist don't even have any pictures

#

It sucks

#

Genuinely

urban spire
#

yeah

#

but the lack of a picture in this case makes them more insane, not less

urban spire
#

because the potential is there

opaque coyote
#

It does make me insane

urban spire
#

that they ARE anime catgirls

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
urban spire
#

and they literally can't prove you wrong

opaque coyote
#

Okay not that

#

I thought you were gonna say something else

#

I was gonna say that it drives me insane that they refuse to detail what would potentially be unique lore

urban spire
#

well the potential is there for a lot of things, i don't really care either way

opaque coyote
#

Like I fucking love the Abhumans that are there

#

Ogryns

urban spire
#

if i'm running a 40k game and someone wants to play a catgirl i'm not saying no, if they want them to be catmonsters i am fine with that too

opaque coyote
#

Tbf a part of me thinks of them as anime catgirls.

But specifically the 80's - 90's anime catgirls

solid horizon
#

what if they look like thundercats

gleaming gale
opaque coyote
urban spire
#

aisha clanclan my beloved

opaque coyote
#

Nice

urban spire
#

outlaw star rules, watch it

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
# urban spire

Also I now have the headcanon that Felinids are often shot because in the dark, they look like Eldar

urban spire
#

demon

opaque coyote
#

It is unknown how much is just using it as an excuse

#

Or how much of it is genuine

urban spire
#

soldier how do you know what an eldar is?

opaque coyote
gleaming gale
#

"Long ears, probably, sir"

#

"That's what the primer told me"

arctic talon
#

Yeah the primers guide on eldar is

#

ā€œTall lanky, big earsā€

#

And a shitty drawing

gleaming gale
#

They actually have pictures too

opaque coyote
urban spire
#

that's restricted knowledge

gleaming gale
#

What's funny about the pictures is that it's a guardsman with cardboard eldar armour that posed for the drawing

arctic talon
#

The primer isn’t

urban spire
#

see the commissar

arctic talon
#

Every guardsmen reads it

gleaming gale
#

It really is endearing to know it is made in-universe

arctic talon
#

lol

opaque coyote
#

But I can imagine some mistakes happened

arctic talon
#

Well supposed to read it

#

lol

#

The primer has some good info

urban spire
arctic talon
#

And some horrific info

heady rivet
gleaming gale
#

You also get executed if you don't have the primer on you at all times when asked for it

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

ā€œDrukhari guns are inferior to imperium weapons as most of them do not kill you, this shows the incompetence of themā€

opaque coyote
#

They are actually weak

#

Their muscles are balloons

#

Paraphrased obviously

#

But still

gleaming gale
humble shoal
#

It would be funny if this was the truth

urban spire
heady rivet
humble shoal
#

And the lore is actually just some soldier super exaggerating

opaque coyote
# gleaming gale

The best worst part is that this is actually how you'd disarm an attacker.

Just...

A human one

arctic talon
#

Orks did have lower initative some editions

gleaming gale
#

Primer forgot to tell you that you have to be a catachan to pull it off

That part was hilarious

you'd NEVER see most 40k authors do this

i think it's pretty funny that sandy mitchell describes chainsword fighting as fencing

opaque coyote
# arctic talon Yes, because the Imperium comes out on top

If there is a movie based on the Cain series.

I think either

  1. Cain should switch between how he sees himself, and his "projected" confident self. With two different actors for him. One with a normal physique and the other muscular.

  2. It should entirely be a propaganda movie based on his adventures. Like explicitly so. With it being extremely campy and filled with fascistic Imperium propaganda.

its like the Delaque book

the book talks about the fucking Delaque Aliens and giant horrific sea creatures in the center of necromunda

What would it be

urban spire
#

i used to have crazy anxiety until i quit caffeine

opaque coyote
#

Well much. Like once a week?

gleaming gale
#

Maybe coffee cancels it out

urban spire
#

suddenly my very high caffeine tolerance transformed into getting anxiety attacks from caffeine, so i had to go from 2 energy drinks a day minimum to quitting cold turkey

#

the worst headache of my life resulted, lasting 2 weeks straight

opaque coyote
#

Coffee is literally a drug. It's just accepted because the side effects aren't extreme

#

If Meth didn't have severe withdrawal and addiction symptoms

#

It probably would be used all the fucking time

#

Actually it WAS used all the fucking time

#

Just ask the Nazis

#

And America

What's even more surprising is how he lived through that entire debacle despite literally being high as balls for weeks on end

heady rivet
#

He had NINE children

#

Those who ever took adderall will know

opaque coyote
#

He accidentally set a house on fire because he made a campfire inside of a wooden house.

He distinctly remembered that everytime the fire got closer

#

He just scooted away

#

He was literally lying there napping btw

urban spire
#

and it's like "optional" according to the airforce, but you do still have to fly a crazy amount of missions so the optional part isn't really uh

#

real

opaque coyote

#

airforce goes through phases of realizing that it's bad to make all their pilots addicted to stimulants, but they still do want them to do all those missions tho

Clearly they'll solve everything

Reward people who went through service

But no

urban spire
#

no of course not, that would mean spending money

#

the ideal soldier dies like 20 minutes after leaving the forces

opaque coyote
#

Can't expend some of that 649 Billion dollar budget on actually giving the soldiers their benefits

#

We gotta lose more equipment

Tbf fantasy is usually used for both Old Fantasy and AoS

Like sometimes when people say Warhammer Fantasy it refers to both
