@cerulean wagon or if they turn themselves into a war world

[novel fulcrum]

i'd say in general that the popular named planets well-known for their guard regiments can probably put out any kind of unit, with exceptions obviously

[cerulean wagon]

tallarn titan regiment when

[prime kernel]

aka no navy power

[cerulean wagon]

[crisp heath]

XD

[prime kernel]

titans belong to the adeptus mechanicus

[crisp heath]

I want to see a Titan do a Drift XD

[novel fulcrum]

tallarn was the true forge world all along

[prime kernel]

ig cant touch em

[cerulean wagon]

tallarn was the friends we made along the way

[crisp heath]

Techno-priest !
Yes ?
DO AN HIMMELMAN !

[dim totem]

I always liked the idea of medieval worlds getting conscripted into the ig

[prime kernel]

or just tanith

love those guys

tanith best bois

[crisp heath]

Tanith was not destoyed ?

[dim totem]

Like you can explain how a Las rifle works fine

But a tank

[prime kernel]

tanith was

but the first and only

still around

[novel fulcrum]

something i want to know is, do the imperial knights pat the imperial armigers on the head when they drive out prey well enough?

[prime kernel]

Its a shame too cause tanith was a really cool planet

[crisp heath]

Like Cadia :c

Yvraine do her best

[novel fulcrum]

do they roll up a knight-sized newspaper and bap them on the nose when they're naughty?

[cerulean wagon]

plate with lasguns is pretty sick ngl]

[prime kernel]

cadia was earth with so many fortresses on them its surface was more defnesive emplacement then anything else.

[prime kernel]

Tanith was ireland

[novel fulcrum]

plate aesthetic

[prime kernel]

Plate mail can take alot of damage

[crisp heath]

Look like Tempestus

[cerulean wagon]

http://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1487465047423.jpg

[prime kernel]

seriously platemail is the bomb

[crisp heath]

Still better than SoB boobplates or high heel :x

[novel fulcrum]

as far as only war's concerned, it's not bad at all

[cerulean wagon]

other than the weight and noise ye

[novel fulcrum]

besides being heavy

[cerulean wagon]

its roughly equiv, if not slightly better, than flak

[novel fulcrum]

but honestly, the whole weight system in only war is totally borked, so

i tend not to reference it much

[crisp heath]

I never play in Only War

[prime kernel]

@crisp heath i hate boob plate though apparently it is structurely possible. Then again i hate cod plates just as much but also apparently possible.

Also angry nuns with guns be the best

[crisp heath]

Maybe, i'm a Xenos i can't understand why pray a death god give overpower shit to nuns

But

Like someone say

It just work i guess

[cerulean wagon]

in the same way exessive fucking can create a god

[prime kernel]

makes no sense

but

it works

[crisp heath]

Fuck you

XD

[atomic pelican]

Yvraine go brr then get reduced back into irrelevancy

[novel fulcrum]

i honestly don't see a problem with 40k boob plate specifically

[crisp heath]

No a mistake, its a little happy accident

We, Eldar, make always happy accident

[novel fulcrum]

normally it's totally dumb to have specific shaping for the individual breasts, but the sisters of battle
-have forcefields
-wear power armor (thicc af)
-are an important female symbol in the ministorum, and thus probably want to be as clearly female as possible at a glance

since the priests aren't technically allowed to raise armies including men in their ranks, and all that

[odd sparrow]

Oh lord this convo again

Ever get deja vu on a daily basis

[cerulean wagon]

just hope eisen doesnt see it

[rotund siren]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-fry-sign-accident-gif-7576259

[odd sparrow]

Shh

[novel fulcrum]

plus it's not like space marines are any better with their huge pauldrons and their field officers often not wearing helmets on purpose

[atomic pelican]

I beg yall. It has no precedent. Just say boobies good. Its far more valid

[odd sparrow]

^

The one true, very gay position

[novel fulcrum]

aesthetics = protection in the 40k universe

you can't convince me otherwise

[crisp heath]

Change my mind

Imperium is a big shit, go back to craftworld

[odd sparrow]

imagine being an imp

[prime kernel]

honestly

[atomic pelican]

sIMP

[prime kernel]

if all of the imperium believed massive pauldrons would offer you more protection

and everyone actually believed it as fact

It would be fact

In the same aspect that orks think reds makes vehicle go faster.

[novel fulcrum]

it sure works for the astartes

[prime kernel]

and it does

[cerulean wagon]

imagine being the last of a dying race

[prime kernel]

no reason it just does.

[atomic pelican]

Das just orkz. The meme power of thought is kinda overstated

[odd sparrow]

The warp belief memery is like

[cerulean wagon]

ig gang

[odd sparrow]

yeah very overstated in the community

[prime kernel]

love orks

their the only race thats happy !

[odd sparrow]

It's a fun gimmick for the orks that doesn't really make sense, and isn't really considered all that much outside of orks

[crisp heath]

And its a truly pleasure

[prime kernel]

Actually seriously happy !

Their the only race that likes it just the way it is.

[novel fulcrum]

yeah, i don't think space marines and sisters of battle are well-protected because psychic gestalt says so, i think it's just because the 40k universe works very differently to our own in that if you look sick, you take less damage

[atomic pelican]

Sisters are well protectee because the emperor is basically a god

Space marines are well armed bioweapons

[prime kernel]

you mean the one on the throne or the warp enitity. @atomic pelican

[odd sparrow]

I loathe the SoB faith power thing tbh

[novel fulcrum]

the sisters do have the new development of legitimately manifesting miracles out of belief

[atomic pelican]

Both I suppose, assuming theyre connected

[cerulean wagon]

thats not even new

thats existed since atleast like 2004

[odd sparrow]

Like. Cmon if u wanna paint big e as this normal ass man with a cult surrounding him then do that. All the like, the emperor isn't a real god! stuff rings so hollow when he literally is a real god lmao

[cerulean wagon]

thats the point

the custodes are wrong and so was big e

[odd sparrow]

There is no point, it's incoherent

Which is to be expected but yeah idk

[atomic pelican]

Big E reddit atheisted HIMSELF

😩

[crisp heath]

Khaine was a god, not your death buddy

[odd sparrow]

Hjbkbvuvu

[cerulean wagon]

its an in universe perspective

[crisp heath]

Sip eldars bloods from Tyranides assaut fuckings 'nids

[prime kernel]

@atomic pelican a god like entity still resides in the warp somewhere

of the emperor

[cerulean wagon]

pmuch lmao

big E is like those DnD players who play atheists

when gods actualy exist and interact with mortals

[prime kernel]

i am one of those players

[novel fulcrum]

i mean, even if you wanted to say emps wasn't a real god, he sure is now

[odd sparrow]

That's the best kind of atheism to be clear

[atomic pelican]

Its the funniest for sure

DHDHD

[odd sparrow]

Like. God like entities do very obviously exist but they're fucking cowards

[novel fulcrum]

considering that whole 'planet full of psykers that suddenly manifested loads of highly-symbolic emperor-related phenomena' thing

[crisp heath]

Khorne, Nurgle and Tzeench are real gods, like Elders Ones or C'Tan

[odd sparrow]

I recognize you exist but you're a cunt undeserving of worship

Therefore atheist

[cerulean wagon]

depends on he setting

[odd sparrow]

It's the absolute optimal character gimmick

[cerulean wagon]

someone tried to run a "gods arent real" character in a campaign i was in once

[odd sparrow]

Thanks fabius

[cerulean wagon]

on an island that was manifest by a god as a sanctuary

[crisp heath]

Fabius a true genius

[cerulean wagon]

[novel fulcrum]

i've theorycrafted a cleric of mortality before

[prime kernel]

@odd sparrow most dnd gods are either chaotic monsters that wanna eat everything. or superpowerfull entities that do NOTHING

[odd sparrow]

Tbh that could also be a fun gimmick. Make a character that's so completely stubborn in their r/atheist ways

[prime kernel]

why would you worship them

[cerulean wagon]

depends on the setting

[prime kernel]

They suuuuck

[odd sparrow]

yeah well that's magic, it doesn't mean a god did it

[cerulean wagon]

pharasma is pretty active

when she wants to be

[prime kernel]

yeah when she wants to be

[odd sparrow]

this island was created by a god? Prove it, I want citations

[prime kernel]

show me a video

[novel fulcrum]

someone that gets their power through the sheer belief that intelligent humanoid races are inherently good and do not require the meddling of outside beings

[prime kernel]

the only good thing gods do is clerics.

[cerulean wagon]

queue the god literaly manifesting because someone summoned demons

[prime kernel]

becuase healing magic

[odd sparrow]

that wasn't a god talking to me, it was just some sort of apparition

[prime kernel]

which is really really good

but you need to basicly inflate the gods ego to get it.

[novel fulcrum]

see, that's the thing

[cerulean wagon]

again

depends on he setting boomer

[novel fulcrum]

if we're talking d&d specifically, clerics don't inherently need to worship a god to obtain power

they just need to put their faith in a popular belief

[cerulean wagon]

atheism in an active gods setting is legit stupid unless being played as a comedic gimmick

[prime kernel]

@cerulean wagon in which setting do clerics just get their power ?

and like offical settings only

[atomic pelican]

Ah yes, that literal avatar of a god coming to kill me is infact a manifestation of skience

[novel fulcrum]

you can be a cleric of love or altruism or greed or violence

[cerulean wagon]

pathfinder

[odd sparrow]

Cleric of love sounds like a blues song

[prime kernel]

but love is a portfolio that belongs to a god. @novel fulcrum

[cerulean wagon]

itis belief, not specifically in a god

[novel fulcrum]

sure, but you're not worshipping a god to get the power

[atomic pelican]

Slight aside but, god I love playing Paladin in pathfinder

My fave martial class

Fucking invincible

[cerulean wagon]

i was going to play one

[mint hill]

Ur-Preists just "get Power"

[cerulean wagon]

but we have 2 other divine casters

[prime kernel]

@novel fulcrum preatty sure you need to worship the god of that portfolio ( like love) to get powers from that god.

[atomic pelican]

Oog

[cerulean wagon]

playing a cavalier/fighter cross class on mondays atm

focusing on pikes

[novel fulcrum]

you don't though

[prime kernel]

Cavalier ?

[novel fulcrum]

well, okay

[prime kernel]

that works ?

[novel fulcrum]

you have to worship a god if oyu want to get power from the god

[cerulean wagon]

you dont need to worship a god just follow a belief

[novel fulcrum]

but you can get similar power from beliefs that do not necessarily involve worshipping a god

[cerulean wagon]

i.e. you could believe your power is bestowed by the sun

and take the domains of light and fire

[prime kernel]

isnt that more paladiny

[novel fulcrum]

nah

[prime kernel]

then cleric

[cerulean wagon]

no its any divine

[prime kernel]

but only for pathfinder.

[atomic pelican]

Tbf PF more closelt aligns with old DnD stuff imo

[novel fulcrum]

paladins swear an oath, and then some outside being that likes the oath the paladin has sworn will generally bestow power upon them

[cerulean wagon]

no other settings do it as well

[prime kernel]

i dont know a whole lot about pathfinder lore to argue semantics

[cerulean wagon]

and ye pathfinder is 3.5e+

[prime kernel]

so like

eh

[novel fulcrum]

clerics instead maintain faith in a given aspect of the world and derive power from that

they don't swear an oath so much as they believe in an ideal

[prime kernel]

and that ideal gives em power ?

[cerulean wagon]

Yes

[prime kernel]

i need some sources

[novel fulcrum]

generally speaking, yeah

well, i can dig for it, but it might take a while

pretty sure it was a sage advice tweet

[prime kernel]

ah yes the most reliable of lore

tweet posts

XD

[cerulean wagon]

"While the vast majority of clerics revere a specific deity, a small number dedicate themselves to a divine concept worthy of devotion—such as battle, death, justice, or knowledge—free of a deific abstraction"

from the pathfinder SRD

[novel fulcrum]

well, sage advice comes straight from wizards of the coast, and wizards of the coast is the authority on what thingsi n d&d mean, so

[atomic pelican]

Its pretty freeing and good for fluff

[prime kernel]

@cerulean wagon aaah so its possible but its rare.

[atomic pelican]

Ive got a paladin of a river temple which is Goodo

[prime kernel]

fair enough

[novel fulcrum]

alright, i'll get the quotes straight from the handbook, but signs point to a strong 'yes'

[prime kernel]

im okay with whatever answer

I just need FACT

[novel fulcrum]

apparently the PHB has a line saying "Your DM determines which god, if any, are worshipped in his or her campaign."

[prime kernel]

about a makebelief world.

christ im bored.

[novel fulcrum]

and the DMG goes on to say that you can have alternate belief systems in your game, including 'forces and philosophies'

[prime kernel]

aaah

so same with pathfinder

its possible

[novel fulcrum]

pretty much

[prime kernel]

though it does say in your game

[novel fulcrum]

it's not the default, but it's clearly accepted

[prime kernel]

aight

good to know

[cerulean wagon]

ofc it says "in your game"

because rule zero

GM always has last say on what is or isnt allowed

[prime kernel]

such a hard rule to follow

even as a gm

Cause its bulllshit

And this is someone who both gms and plays.

[cerulean wagon]

its not been that hard for me to do

pretty much "does it look fun without looking game or lore breaking"

[atomic pelican]

Ye itd great to just handwaive stuff that doesnt fit ur players or overrule someone being that guy

I rarely have to use the latter but the former is great

[vast frigate]

Espeically That guys

[cerulean wagon]

i have had to overrule that guy a few times

[prime kernel]

Ah yes that guy

who is that guy anyway

[cerulean wagon]

got someoen trying to use an autocannon as a sniper in only war to hit like 5d10 damage

[crisp heath]

oof

He succed ?

[cerulean wagon]

That guy is just the term for the group that includes rules lawyers n min maxers

people who treat RPGs as singleplayer games and look to benefit themselves even at the detriment of other peoples enjoyment

[prime kernel]

i like min maxing

as long you keep the min maxing to yourself

[atomic pelican]

It depends on how far u take it

[prime kernel]

Thats my personal line

[atomic pelican]

I try to build my sheets efficiently, but not at the cost of fluff or enjoyment

[cerulean wagon]

yeah theres a cross class you can take that lets you add accuracy to the autocannon

[prime kernel]

Min max to your hearts content

but keep it to yourself

[crisp heath]

Oh

[cerulean wagon]

efficieny is fine

but when someone can be hitting like

[atomic pelican]

Also Pathfinder specifically is so wildly varied that building can be fun in itself, for me atleast

[cerulean wagon]

18d6 dmg a turn at lvl 5

[atomic pelican]

OOF jesus yeah

Thats too much

[prime kernel]

okay like

how

[rotund siren]

just remember, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

[atomic pelican]

Thats when u get shit like multiclassint and using stuff from addon books that were not intended to be together

[rotund siren]

or in other words, min-maxing means your DM can bring out the big shit

[cerulean wagon]

a mixture of talents, weapon types and size modifiers iirc

[final spruce]

PF talk ? nice

[cerulean wagon]

issue is you cant always do that because you may end up punishing the rest of the party to take out a single player

which is no fun for anyone

[vast frigate]

That guys can be people who abuse systems or... Yknow....

I cast attract on the paladin!
w- why?
It doesnt say i cant anywhere, i want to convince him so i can steal this goblins pie!

[rotund siren]

but, if no one else is min-maxing, then either they get way-sided, or the min-maxer beats everything easily

[atomic pelican]

Lol get aura of resolved

[novel fulcrum]

i think i'd like pathfinder more if i didn't feel like i needed to have the feat list hard-wired into my brain every time i wanted to plot out character progression

[mint hill]

You make a guy walk up, grab the auto cannon guy with a grapple, then dimension door 500 feet in the air.

[vast frigate]

tbh

[cerulean wagon]

i just use pathbuilder

[vast frigate]

whenever i had a That guy id just... make rolls slightly weirder for them

[prime kernel]

@mint hill that does sound fun you have to admit

[novel fulcrum]

w...wha?

[vast frigate]

''Ah dang, they hit a 17 and needed a 16 to deal damage, sorry man youre knocked down''

[cerulean wagon]

i made a strength witch wrestler who turns into an anaconda and grapples 3 people at the same time

[mint hill]

Yeah, Because the guy who dimension doored would have feather fall as well.

[atomic pelican]

I got trial'd by fire into PF and now Im too Special to play DnD and feel good 😩

[cerulean wagon]

^

dnd 5e stinky

[prime kernel]

cant get into pathfinder games

[atomic pelican]

Once youve become a PFHero playing DnD feels like going from the ocean to a swimming pool

[prime kernel]

not like i dont like them

i just cant find them

[cerulean wagon]

i think my big issue with 5e

is martial classes

are just so boring

"i hit"

where sunder at

[atomic pelican]

Oh god yeah

[rotund siren]

wack

[novel fulcrum]

i mean, i like 5e, i just think that it simplifies itself to such an extent that it harms its own longevity

[atomic pelican]

No CMB system

[rotund siren]

levels up Oh boy wack wack

[atomic pelican]

Or advanced feats

[final spruce]

There are feats but its always the sam

like PaM and Sentinel fighter

[cerulean wagon]

like my guy for monday group

i can use a tower shield and a pike at the same time without a negitive

i have 10ft reach

i get extra armour the larger an enemy is

[atomic pelican]

Its whack af too, since imo, fighters in PF are one of the most versatile classes in combat choices

[cerulean wagon]

and can brace as an immediate action to resist tramples

[rotund siren]

neato

[cerulean wagon]

i am the wall

[novel fulcrum]

where my fighter archers at

[cerulean wagon]

they exist

and are super stronk in pf

without just being

[atomic pelican]

Theyre p good

[cerulean wagon]

"take dex - win"

[novel fulcrum]

yee

kinda makes me a bit sad when folks feel like they gotta go ranger to have an archer

[atomic pelican]

Elf plays a fighter archer in a pf game with me, I just frontline as pally and she drops Big Damage

[cerulean wagon]

we have an archer that straps bombs to their arrows

[atomic pelican]

RUDH

[cerulean wagon]

so they dos plash damage

[rotund siren]

damn that's pretty sick

also dangerous but

[cerulean wagon]

im glad i have a pike to stay out of the splash

[rotund siren]

you win some you lose some

[cerulean wagon]

[rotund siren]

yeah

[novel fulcrum]

has anyone here read the tale of Llywelyn ap Maelwys?

[cerulean wagon]

na

[final spruce]

Wait I just realised

[novel fulcrum]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDGreentext/comments/640fqr/of_archers_accuracy/

[final spruce]

I'll be the one forced in true melee

Guy with big shield hiding behind dwarf

[cerulean wagon]

its fine stay near me and i can buff your AC

and i took phalanx formation so i can attack around you

[novel fulcrum]

the archer that fired arrows so far away, they had to guess where a target would be standing a turn or two after they loosed it

[rotund siren]

wow

[atomic pelican]

Have yall ever experienced being the sole frontliner in a party of wizards and softies

Being The Defense is Great

[cerulean wagon]

every campaign proud

[rotund siren]

no ;-;

[cerulean wagon]

every

campaign

lancer? im running a tank

[atomic pelican]

We will have to play someday together. Walls together strong

[cerulean wagon]

pathfinder? im running a tank

[novel fulcrum]

i think i need to start doing it, because whatever i try to do instead of that usually leads to me taking all of the damage and dying

figure at this point, may as well be equipped to deal with it

[cerulean wagon]

hopefully im not a face in pathfinder

[final spruce]

Yeah people don't like being a tanky boy

[cerulean wagon]

lancer is stress enough lmao

[novel fulcrum]

did you say

l a n c e r ?

[final spruce]

I can intimidate

[cerulean wagon]

lmao

[final spruce]

But that only gets you so far

[cerulean wagon]

angry moth sounds

[novel fulcrum]

i really wanna find a group to play that with soon, it seems like a lot of fun

[final spruce]

Hey I have a +6 to intimidate even with my-2 charisma

[cerulean wagon]

its fun once u hit license lvl 2 zalgo

[rotund siren]

wow

[cerulean wagon]

first 2 ranks are pain

[novel fulcrum]

ye, get your specialized frame

[cerulean wagon]

currently LL 5 in my run

[novel fulcrum]

i don't even know what i wanna do first, they're all so cool

[cerulean wagon]

i'm in a tortuga using saladin shields

[novel fulcrum]

well-defended overwatch

i like it

[cerulean wagon]

if i lock down i take resistance on all attacks

and give enemies difficulty

and can take heat to give allies resistance as a reaction

[novel fulcrum]

that's sick

[cerulean wagon]

https://i.imgur.com/7AK6H5B.png

i am the strong

[novel fulcrum]

i also like how if you reached a break in the mission, given the proper resources, you could just decide 'hmm, everest with cpr' and use that instead if for whatever reason the tortuga didn't work out

[cerulean wagon]

yeah

my tortuga has personalisation tho

so it can mount a 2nd frame to an external port

because i have a buddy in a caliban

and we both have bonded

so when we hot drop he is attached to me

[novel fulcrum]

got the chest-mounted baby carrier

[cerulean wagon]

yes

[novel fulcrum]

i love the flavor of the caliban too

[cerulean wagon]

my son

[atomic pelican]

Dont talk to me or my son ever again

[rotund siren]

oh yeah, Skele, what ever happened to the meat mech?

err

you were the one who made that, right?

[novel fulcrum]

'yeah, all these other models we have in stock are all the result of anti-piracy measures, but this one? this one's just a war crime machine'

[cerulean wagon]

oh that? its continued work

me and a friend are building a cult and organisation around it

[rotund siren]

cool

[cerulean wagon]

its become a villain faction at this point so i need a new backup character

[rotund siren]

lmao

[cerulean wagon]

but it was fun to build a mech that can make like

5-6 attacks a turn

[rotund siren]

that does sound pretty fun

[novel fulcrum]

i also kinda crave the high-impact violence of the manticore

[cerulean wagon]

i can update u once i have the full doc on it together if u want sol

not sure it'll be a good read but it'll be interesting getting another opinion

[rotund siren]

sure, why not

[novel fulcrum]

activating CASTIGATE THE ENEMIES OF THE GODHEAD is basically an open threat

'go ahead, kill me, it won't un-explode all of you'

[dim totem]

I'm very confused what this is all about

[storm jungle]

Was about 40k gods or something then went into other rpgs i think?

[novel fulcrum]

it was about something, that's for sure

[dim totem]

The mech looks cool tho I guess

[prime kernel]

hey thats lancer

nice

[cerulean wagon]

yes

it is

[prime kernel]

Its fun

But like

tiresome

especially when your a blackbeard

[dim totem]

But what gaaaaame

[rotund siren]

Lancer

[storm jungle]

A Lancer from a game called Lancer?

[rotund siren]

I think?

[storm jungle]

next time you'll be telling me Titanfall is a game that has Titans Fall

[cerulean wagon]

yes

👏

[cerulean wagon]

dip into another mech and mix it up the

i have 3 mechs on standby

[dim totem]

I imagine they do fall over at various points in the game yes

[prime kernel]

@cerulean wagon mixed it with an atlas. Went zheng first but the BIG ULTRA FIST is not ereally worth it

especialy if you didnt spec into being heat resistant

which i definatly am not

But i do have 8 speed

[cerulean wagon]

dip a lvl gheng for the heat resist

[prime kernel]

so whoop whoop

[cerulean wagon]

get that explosive vebt

[prime kernel]

dont have the space

[novel fulcrum]

my favorite thing about lancer is how the devs apparently never played titanfall in their lives, yet somehow captured the true majesty of big robot combat

[prime kernel]

its anime mechs

[novel fulcrum]

not all of 'em

[prime kernel]

but its the american version of anime mechs

also Ghenghis is warcrime mech

[novel fulcrum]

like ssc? that's pure anime

[prime kernel]

dont say that on their discord they will get mad

[open marsh]

....Imperial Knights have been around since way before Titanfall was a thing

[prime kernel]

@open marsh around as long as battletech

the best big stompy mech action game

[novel fulcrum]

i'm pretty sure they didn't play battletech either, or 40k

they just wanted a mech rpg and couldn't find one they liked

[open marsh]

pppfttt.. who plays 40k?

[storm jungle]

^

[novel fulcrum]

also to be fair

[storm jungle]

Stick to lore, ignore tabletop nonsense

[novel fulcrum]

40k rpgs don't really give you mech rpg

[prime kernel]

well the devs of lancer dont like 40k

all that much

[novel fulcrum]

yeah, part of lancer's whole identity is that the future is very hopeful

[open marsh]

Okay. back up. got to apologize. When I saw "Lancer" I thought the Imperial Knight Lancer pattern

Thats my bad

[novel fulcrum]

it's in jeopardy, but it's very plausible that utopia carries on through the stars

[dim totem]

Ikr, who plays wh40k

[novel fulcrum]

ohhh, no

lancer is the name of this mech rpg

[dim totem]

Real og's play game of the goose

[prime kernel]

@open marsh nah mate we on about the rpg tabletop game

Which is really good

But also tiresome

[open marsh]

Yeh

[novel fulcrum]

granted, we are talking about it in the lore chat

[open marsh]

yup

Thats where I got confused

[novel fulcrum]

confusion is fair

[prime kernel]

very fair

[storm jungle]

Everythings canon yeah

[vagrant osprey]

Yeah, but official canon

It's going from C-canon to B-canon

[open marsh]

...there are no tiers of canon in 40k. That's a Star Wars thing

:l

[odd sparrow]

medic is correct

GW doesn't especially bother with even trying to categorise its stuff in terms of canon. hence why i advise ppl to just make their own headcanons

[gaunt vector]

yey

[odd sparrow]

it's less inconvenient

[plucky moth]

fewer inconvenient

[rotund siren]

you're fewer inconvinient

[vagrant osprey]

Makes lore discussions really difficult, though :V

[odd tulip]

I wouldn't think about it too much. Astartes brought a huge amount of outsiders into 40k, I imagine GW just wants to give the guy the resources he needs to really shine.

I have friends IRL who started asking me warhammer questions after astartes aired, despite having no prior interest in the game

[rotund siren]

cool

[fallow drum]

I'm surprised at the lack of gatekeeping I have seen

It's nice

[odd tulip]

The warhammer community is usually pretty nice. Most of the sweatlords who gatekeep are still playing 5th edition.

[plucky moth]

gatekeeping money and good content would be a bold move

"no actually I prefer it when my fandom is fookin barren innit"

[fallow drum]

The way I look at it is I love Warhammer enough to want to share it with people so more people getting curious is a good thing. I just don't want the actual content to change. I just want more people to know about it

[royal herald]

incan thats how most hobbies work though

not a real fan if you don't gatekeep it

[odd tulip]

Exactly. And I'm pretty bad at tabletop, so I need a constant influx of new players or else I'd never beat anyone

[storm jungle]

Having seen the animation stuff from GW so far on last year's teasers, ill take the fan animators any day from the corporate ones.

https://i.imgflip.com/515ejn.gif

high tier

[fallow drum]

^^^

[storm jungle]

im kidding btw its terrible

[fallow drum]

When it's a passion project you can feel the love in every frame

[storm jungle]

But yeee basically ^

[odd tulip]

I've rewatched astartes probably 100 times now and I've yet to notice a single animation error

no clipping, no misalignment, no motion errors

[fallow drum]

That man deserves a medal

[odd tulip]

Every single second of those shorts are polished to perfection

[open marsh]

That plasma pistol tho. Just....<3

[fallow drum]

I like how you can't hear them because really Astartes can't be heard unless they want to

[odd tulip]

Chef's kiss

[open marsh]

My only issue is that the Inquisitor guy is so muffled you can barely understand him

[fallow drum]

That was intentional

[open marsh]

I know, but it still bothers me

[fallow drum]

those helmets don't really allow sound to escape

[storm jungle]

Just a reminder to save the youtube astartes vid if anyone wants to archive it btw. That thing's gonna get removed sooner or later

[fallow drum]

So the fact you hear him scream means he is really letting one out

[storm jungle]

GW george lucas'd the warhammer community one lol

[odd tulip]

Gone already, I think

[fallow drum]

Yup

it's gone

shame

[storm jungle]

Nah i mean this one

https://youtu.be/O7hgjuFfn3A

[tender igloo]

maybe i am not as in tune with sound design as other people. but the only real big differences i'm seeing aside from only being 720p are that the one shot with the plasma gun was mirrored, and they changed the music. the music i am assuming was for copyright reasons.

[storm jungle]

Yep thats pretty much it

its just a bit jarring since we're probably too used to the original version

[smoky breach]

Are there more aeldari and drukhari than there’s humans, currently?

[open marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXEYksoE6c

Simple edit. no mirroring

[coarse mirage]

No, there are far, far more humans.

That's why both of them like to use humans as meatshields instead of fighting by themselves.

There's always more humans

[smoky breach]

Mhmm, I see.

[open marsh]

Yeah. There are probably more Tau then there are Eldar

Well not even probably. Almost certainly

[smoky breach]

Question 2, is it the intensity of thoughts and emotions that spawn warp entities?

[cerulean wagon]

ye

[coarse mirage]

Basically yeah

[storm jungle]

Yep, its not as stupid as "hm maybe i will sit down" and your single thought of laziness just spawned a bunch demons.

[smoky breach]

For every procrastination, a nurgle daemon haunts an imperial child.

[coarse mirage]

Give in to your math homework

[smoky breach]

14 children a week are frightened and possibly missing.

Question 3: Do we have an estimation on the amount of aeldari back in their kinky-closet days?

[odd tulip]

A huge amount. Only a very, very small % of the Aeldari survived the birth of Slaanesh.

[fallow drum]

What is everyone's favorite chaos god here? I like Slaanesh because of Fulgrim

[odd tulip]

I like Slaanesh because the keeper of secrets is a very cool model

[fallow drum]

Can't argue with that

[gaunt vector]

I hate Slaanesh as a concept but I can't argue with the fact that it reintroduced the concept of consequences to Aeldari "society"

my favorite Chaos god is Khorne because dueling=fun

[final spruce]

Tbh Slaneesh just because of the design of the miniatures

[smoky breach]

Gork&Mork

[fallow drum]

I think we all have a little Khornite in all of us

[gaunt vector]

Khorne, of course, would want us to tear all of the little khornates out of each other

[fallow drum]

Who doesn't love a little bit of blood lust?

[odd tulip]

"Good day sir, might I borrow some of your skulls"

[fallow drum]

I modded my X COM to have chaos marines and when they died they said things like "My skull for the skull throne" or "my blood for the blood god"

[gaunt vector]

Gawain, the polite Bloodthirster

[odd tulip]

Gunna build a bloodthirster with a tophat and monocle now

[fallow drum]

nice

I wish I could get into the TT game

[gaunt vector]

lmao

[fallow drum]

but IDK anyone who plays and it cost money

I want a Warhammer 40K XCOM like game

that isn't Mechanicus

I wish there was a mod to completely overhaul the game to do that

[odd tulip]

My university has a group of guys who (used to) get together at our FLGS for games every saturday.

Keep an eye out on facebook pages and such for groups, or even just go ask at the tables in your local game stores.

I know pretty much every time my brother and I set up a game at our LGS someone asks us how to get into the game

I don't like the melee I've seen so far.
Also, sounds could be better.

[fallow drum]

@broken shell Thanks I really love turn based strategy. This look more Fire Emblem than XCOM but I love both of those games

Maybe I can get into the beta

[broken shell]

There's also Gladius, it has base-building and resource-management elements, but they very much take a back seat to the tactics. It's fun, very overpriced though.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War

Gladius Prime was known to Imperial scholars as a planet of archeological interest. During its colonization ancient relics were found, revealing hints of a shrouded past. But it was more than relics. Something awakened, an unspeakable horror from an ancient past, and the citizens of Gladius found themselves trapped in a terrible war for survival...

I tried Gladius and it wasn't for me.

I'm not to keen on city building in my strategy games outside of Civ V or the ship in XCOM 2

back when i played modded XCOM 2

[fallow drum]

All of my sisters of battle died but one

[fallow drum]

My Ultramarine chaplin became OP too lol

[torn marlin]

.... a well-done 40k-mod that would completely overhaul xcom2 would've been great

about Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector....
hope they make melee much better than what I've seen so far,
and an option to turn off voices (without turning off all sounds)
in case the voices will bother me x)

[hallow apex]

I want a Dawn of War that isn't shit.

[crisp heath]

Is this darktide game gonna have that space marine armor or any possibility

[storm jungle]

Space marine armor? You mean a terminator one or?

[final spruce]

Power armor ?

We know we aren't getting playable space marines

[crisp heath]

Idk i only ever played vermintide 2

Yes power armor

[final spruce]

Expect the 5s but less powerful

But better guns

I don't think we'll get power armor

[coarse mirage]

@plucky moth Reset

[crisp heath]

?

@coarse mirage

[coarse mirage]

It's a running gag in here to reset the accident counter any time someone comes in and asks that question.

[crisp heath]

Ah

[coarse mirage]

No offense meant :p

[crisp heath]

None taken

[plucky moth]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-fry-sign-accident-gif-7576259

[open marsh]

Things that reset the counter:
Asking if it will have Space Marines (It wont)
Asking if it will have Sisters of Battle (It wont)
Asking if it will have Orkz (It might for a much later DLC and even then only as enemies)
Asking if it will have power armour (It probably wont)
Asking if the game is out yet (Its not)
Asking if the game's beta is out yet (Its not)
Asking if the game's alpha is out yet (Its not)

[final spruce]

You forgot tech-priest

We got a lot of that

[plucky moth]

Now

It's already out dummy

[rotund siren]

Yes my Mistress

[open marsh]

Imagine if we got Van Saar levels of tech

Laspistol/Plasma Pistol combi weapon

Or Melta/Las pistol

[final spruce]

Imagination yes

[open marsh]

Lose ADS, gain second weapon fire

[peak hamlet]

Thats not a pistol anymore

[plucky moth]

It’s a space station

[gaunt vector]

try lifting that with 1 hand

let alone aiming it

[rotund siren]

"pistol"

really, at that point, isn't it more of an underslung carbine or something, I mean jeez

[gaunt vector]

aslo, 2 barrels I only see 1 trigger

[rotund siren]

you fire the other one with your mind

[gaunt vector]

of course you do 🙂

[gaunt vector]

ah oj

*ok

I guess that works then

can u imagine if HVS shared their tech and then the IG started dressing like that?

[rotund siren]

bah, power armor doesn't count

[open marsh]

Thats not power armour

[gaunt vector]

ok but how many combat stimms is this boi on?

[rotund siren]

huh

[open marsh]

Yeah. with the power of STCs, the average Guardsman could rival Custodes in equipment

[rotund siren]

;-;

[gaunt vector]

boy was I confused until the last 2 words

[open marsh]

lol

but yeah, the Van Saar gangers, the lowest rung of them, have equipment on levels that even Custodes dont match.

Like hoverboards

and hardlight shields

[gaunt vector]

I so badly want to see an average guardsman vibe check a dark eldar on one of those

[open marsh]

Fun fact: the Guard recruits Van Saar gangers as auxiliries

From an old list of IG regiments

[storm jungle]

oh wow

even BACK THEN they had those suits? Thats awesome

[open marsh]

So. lore wise. you can 100% run Van Saar gangers in your IG army

[storm jungle]

notes down

[open marsh]

You want IG hoverboards? Ya got 'em

@gaunt vector

[gaunt vector]

NICE

[open marsh]

[final spruce]

Wait wait wait

I think there may be a tabletop rule for that lemme check real quickly

Nevermind

It's literally the only 40k boardgame with minis that can't be put on the tabletop

[vagrant osprey]

It will probably have a Space Marine. You can hear one in the trailer. They definitely won't be playable, though :V

[gaunt vector]

where can u hear one?

[open marsh]

...where can you "hear" one in the trailer? they arent making an appearance at all

[vagrant osprey]

The very end.

It's quiet, but it's a person saying "The Emperor Protects" using the Astartes voxcoder filter

[gaunt vector]

which trailer?

gameplay or the other one?

[vagrant osprey]

The first one

[open marsh]

Thats the sound of the guardsmen breathing in their gas masks

[vagrant osprey]

That is not the sound I'm talking about

[final spruce]

I mean they said we won't have a playable space marine

[prime kernel]

ok so like how ?

[gaunt vector]

ok I heard it but I remain unconvinced that what we hear is an Astarted

[final spruce]

We might talk to one we don't know who's working with the elusive inquisitor

[gaunt vector]

*Astartes

[open marsh]

I dont hear anything that sounds like a space marine

[vagrant osprey]

https://youtu.be/Zp44GNRzvCc?t=80

[gaunt vector]

1 min 20 sec

you hear someone say

[final spruce]

Well someone at the very beginning of this discord did point out that the Emperor protects voice does use the astartes voice filter

[gaunt vector]

the emperor protects

[vagrant osprey]

And FS confirmed it, yes.

[gaunt vector]

when and where?

[open marsh]

Yeah. thats something everyone in the Imperium says

[vagrant osprey]

In #general-chat

[final spruce]

It was Timmy

[gaunt vector]

yeah, to me it sounds more like a PA announcement

"please ignore the dark god in your sewage system. The emperor protects"

[open marsh]

Either that or one of the Guardsmen saying it as their final words. tends to happen alot in the guard

[gaunt vector]

tone sounds off

too mundane

[open marsh]

yeah, sounds very mechanical

[gaunt vector]

agreed

[open marsh]

But deff not Space Marine

[prime kernel]

man i cant wait to play dakrtide

[gaunt vector]

yup

[prime kernel]

confused about hte radio silence though.

alteast in terms of gameplay

[gaunt vector]

they are working on it

the dev team protects

[final spruce]

You mean about FT not communicating ?

[prime kernel]

ye

[final spruce]

It's a Fatshark thing

They were never transparent with that stuff even back in VT1

[prime kernel]

ah pl

ok

alteast its coming out somewhere late this year

[vagrant osprey]

nb4 there's an Oblate Carcharodon chapter of Astartes

[final spruce]

Well the release of Chaos Waste is a good omen

[gaunt vector]

Incan reset?

[final spruce]

It means they'll have less work

[vagrant osprey]

Nah, I meant added to 40k

[gaunt vector]

ah ok

sorry

[prime kernel]

chaos waste ?

whats that ?

[gaunt vector]

I was trigger happy

[vagrant osprey]

Like they added the Inn from VT1 to the WF lore

[final spruce]

It's a dlc for Vermintide 2

[rotund siren]

coming out April?

[cloud kindle]

cant wait for it

[final spruce]

Yep its what the trailer says

[crisp heath]

Where we can see the trailer ?

[gaunt vector]

Youtube

[final seal]

empra protecc

[wispy widget]

so anyone else think a really funny encounter would be grey knights needing to be saved by the legion of the damned?

[coarse mirage]

Would be interesting

[cloud kindle]

Nah

By the space wolves

10/10

[novel fulcrum]

^

everything inquisition-related is infinitely more funny when the space wolves get involved

[atomic pelican]

Correct

Best chapter for those interactions alone

[cloud kindle]

We wont fire back while we protect the citizens of the imperium

Lures grimnar into an ambush under false pretense of a meeting

Space wolves: COWABUNGA IT IS

[crisp heath]

Space wolves? You mean the guys who dont wear helmets bc their beards dont fit in? Where is the cool in them

Maybe if they were still vikings

But everything is "wolf"

[cloud kindle]

I mean that's the best reason to not wear a helmet

[atomic pelican]

I rep the Wolves anyday for standing up for the little guy against shitheel inquisitition

[hallow apex]

The Space Wolves need a dressing down, and I'm glad Magnus gave it to them.

[cloud kindle]

They are good bois

[hallow apex]

Always lol'd pretty hard at Space Wolf Rune Priests using the Warp to sanction Warp use, right next to the Imperial Forces sent to sanction aforementioned use.

Authors really twist themselves into knots trying to justify it all, but honestly, it was all very silly.

[cloud kindle]

That isnt the warp

Its totally power granted by the friendly woodland spirits of fenris

Totally not daemons

No sir

[wispy widget]

the space corgis

[leaden herald]

What's the name of that one Necron Phaeron, who because of the great sleep is unable to tell differences in species, adding everything as a necrontyr?

[fast forge]

He's not a Phaeron, he's a Nemesor, Nemesor Zahndrekh. He's a high ranking general under Phaeron Imotekh the Stormlord

[leaden herald]

ah, thank you

[barren tapir]

They still do conscript them afaik... And are seen as "high utility conscripts" because of their higher than normal knowledge of imperial tech... It is also stated that they improve their standard gear...
The more i read about Van Saar the more they became my fav house... Once there where three houses that got my interest, orlock because very meritocratic, the delaque because stealth and Van Saar because tech... Orlock got developed in a way i don't like, full of clans and other management stuff that i don't like, delaque doesn't seem to be the type of stealth i like... While Van Saar are just becoming exactly what i hoped they were

[summer niche]

what kind of stealth do you like?

[barren tapir]

Oh, and the eye of selene, the ring that work as space station for trade was made by them... They are really amazing... I'm still waiting for them to transform hive primus in a spacecraft

[summer niche]

just out of curiocity

[barren tapir]

One that let me shoot from distance in a very hidden way

[summer niche]

ah

and they're more stealth operative?

ECM n shid?

[barren tapir]

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/3/36/DelaqueMinis.jpg

[summer niche]

they look like vampires

[barren tapir]

To me they are more close quarter stealth

A lot of pistols and knifes...

[summer niche]

yea i get ya

you're more into sharpshooters than operatives

[barren tapir]

Yup

My optimal type of stealth is that if the reapers from XCOM 2 War of the Chosen to give a perfect example

[summer niche]

ever since i played sniper elite

i just don't find snipers very silent

nor stealthy lmao

[barren tapir]

When i tried it i didn't found it too loud, but that was also me using the silenced pistol and taking only very long range shoots with the rifle

[summer niche]

yeah, but one shot with the rifle and the whole base is abuzz with activity

[barren tapir]

The old splinter cells game were also amazing

[summer niche]

might as well just murder everyone with the pistol

[barren tapir]

I did

[summer niche]

so yeah i just have a hard time putting sharpshooters together with stealth

it's a me thing, i'm sure.

[storm jungle]

smh blank you dont even mention the big amazonian gf's!

[barren tapir]

The escher? That is because they are quite crazy... They are master of chemical stuff though...

Also i don't like stuff too much colourful

I stick to mono colour

[storm jungle]

b-but abs...

[barren tapir]

They are strong women, they are kinda interesting as they are extremely extravagant, but not my interest... Do you like them?

[storm jungle]

Perhaps

[odd sparrow]

stronk

[final spruce]

Just take Goliath women if you want a strong woman

That girl would give a space marine a run for his money

[storm jungle]

Yeah but theres a difference between been a slab of meat and a pure amazonian

[final spruce]

Definitly but respect should be given where its due

[crisp heath]

Amazonians are buff asf but also sexy

[rotund siren]

an important distinction

[final spruce]

The lesher are definitly the amazonians of 40k, only using women to fight and keep the males as thralls since they cant bear the chemicals and end up looking like blobfishes

[rotund siren]

wow that really is amazonian

almost textbook Fantasy Amazons

[final spruce]

Why have your own ideas when you can recycle a fantasy trope

[cerulean wagon]

ye necromundas weird

[open marsh]

Necromunda is awesome

[barren tapir]

Yup, or as i like to call it, Araneus Prime

[open marsh]

Necromunda has Squats

Like Grendl Grendlson

& Ragnir Gunnstein

[barren tapir]

I'm wondering what would be their "speciality" when they will return

[dim totem]

well

Gunnstein's is probably guns

and Grendlson is probably grendls

[open marsh]

Drinking more beer than their size would suggest they possibly could

[barren tapir]

Ah, solid projectile weapons maybe... Why trust something like energy weapons when you can trust some dense alloy that they found and used in their worlds

[barren tapir]

That cannot be a speciality, that is their base concept

[open marsh]

And if we go on the old squat artwork. They still used las weapons

[dim totem]

some of us are no good at anything ok?

[open marsh]

I loved the detail that Grendl's outfit is that of the old Squat military uniform

[barren tapir]

I would say that this isn't valid anymore, as those lasguns are nor from ryza more than connected to squats... iirc those rifles are even linked to house escher

[barren tapir]

What? Are you shorter than 163 cm?

[open marsh]

Umm...I dont see how any of that "invalidates" the image

[dim totem]

no but close

[barren tapir]

More my way to see it, as squats hardly would use something that they didn't developed, since they would be kinda returning from isolation

[open marsh]

They probably just had the STc for the weapons and continued to produce them. For them, much time may have not even passed. They probably just got lost in the warp

[barren tapir]

Take in consideration that i'm betting all on the video that was hinting at one of their vessel destroying that Ad. Mech. one

[open marsh]

You mean the end of Engine War, where the transmission was incomplete

That happens alot

"The ship was destroyed" isnt the first thing Id consider happening.

[storm jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-what-huh-will-smith-i-mean-gif-15916247

Dunno, I like em.

[open marsh]

Oh wait it was in Pariah

Yeah the choppy nature of the transmission doesnt imply that the ship was destroyed. Just that the transmission was incomplete due to any variety of reasons. Such as psychic or vox intereference

[barren tapir]

From what i remember from the video they got attacked from a grav weapons of sort, then its transmission stop yes

[open marsh]

Yes they report a weaponized grav field. But these are mechanicus ships. They can take such things.

Plus what motivation would the Squats have to just destroy Imperial ships. The Squats are part of the Imperium

[barren tapir]

Were... I mean, in the old lore they were that... There can be a reboot of squats so to develop them in new ways

[gusty heron]

What motivation would have the Dark Angels to kill alies and civilians when Unforgiven are around?...

answer that and you'll have understood 40k in a second

[open marsh]

Ah. So the Squats have Fallen now

[gusty heron]

you don't know.

[open marsh]

Little Caliban

[storm jungle]

Is this a Fallen meme

[barren tapir]

Also there is the possibility that the squats saw the imperium not helping them as a betrayal, so they now are independent

[gusty heron]

Writters can pull in any direction

[open marsh]

I also cant prove that there isnt a tiny teapot orbiting the sun

Russels Teapot

[gusty heron]

I would love to see more squats in stories since they made the Imperium invent new power armor just for fighting them so, someone as badass as they are I want them back.

[barren tapir]

My idea is that old squats lore cannot be an indication of what squats could be when they return

[gusty heron]

Also want to see more stories about Thunder Warriors.

[gusty heron]

exactly.

They can use any plot device to make a good story.

[open marsh]

The thing with the Squats is that their stuff tends to be higher gravity. The Mechanicus probably wandered into a grav trap that held their ship in place, before the Squats showed up to investigate it

[gusty heron]

chaos squats?

heheheh

kididng. No idea.

nobody knows.

Case and point, Astartes didn't use anything on the known xenos to make an antagonist, but since he got hired, it became cannon.

GW decides where to take the lore.

[placid timber]

I really hope squats come back

[gusty heron]

Me too

[placid timber]

Deep rock galatic is essentially one license away from being a 40k game lmao

[open marsh]

And GW usually tends to stick to established fluff on widers issues like an entire race. Its like if they suddenly released Imperial loyalist tyranids

Its not how this works

[gusty heron]

Or make Blood angels work with necrons?

never heard taht before...

[open marsh]

Against a wider threat. Yes. Its called "Allies of convience"

[gusty heron]

No, its out of character for the Necrons.

[open marsh]

Not really. The Necron phaerons have widely different personalities

[gusty heron]

my point is, GW makes its lore, and they decide what to do.

[open marsh]

Okay?

[gusty heron]

I as a customer decide if I agree or not and invest in it or not.

cof age of shitmar cof

[open marsh]

Ive long since lost what you are even on about

[gusty heron]

but it's their IP.

[placid timber]

You mispelled age of sigmar sir

[gusty heron]

No I haven't my dear sir

[gusty heron]

you're forgiven.

[placid timber]

Thats ma'am to you, and also why would cannon stop someone from playing whatever the fuck they want on tabletop

[gusty heron]

Old age and all, I understand, I'm also getting old.

[placid timber]

I got a mate who plays squats with spacewolves rules

His models are iron breakers kitbashed with guardsmen

[gusty heron]

No it's not, you're not an Army Officer and you didn't serve with me in the same foxholes...

[open marsh]

Only thing Ive said is that The Squats probably didnt destroy that mechanicus ship. They just caught it in a grav trap (it holds you in place, doesnt destroy you. Its like a point-tractor beam) and went to investigate what they caught.

And this guy goes off on GW

[placid timber]

They look neat

[gusty heron]

I actually think so too

good kitbash

[placid timber]

Im not a sir tho is what im trying to get at....

[storm jungle]

I mean GW always deserves going off on tbh

[open marsh]

[storm jungle]

[placid timber]

Correction, iron breakers and tactical marines. Not guardsmen

[gusty heron]

Is he going to paint them anyday? 👀

[placid timber]

Probably not

[gusty heron]

inner hobby joke

[placid timber]

He loves to kit bash

And plays a lot of graytide

[gusty heron]

that's ok, I paint them but most don't

I have zero problems playing with someone that doesn't have a painted army.

[placid timber]

I dont really play 40k much anymore and i prob wont until gw gives out more xenos love

[gusty heron]

Even more?

I'm still waiting on the updated Catachan models

[placid timber]

Orks and eldar need help

Especially eldar

[gusty heron]

hmmm got a point there

[placid timber]

I want models that arent the same age as me

[gusty heron]

can't argue there.

[storm jungle]

in the next decade perhaps

[gusty heron]

I think the latest ones was the harlequins?

[placid timber]

Thats why play mostly AoS now. The new models are fucking gorgeous and fun to paint

[storm jungle]

everyone gets a piece of the cake

which is, you know; kinda cool?

[gusty heron]

[plucky moth]

[gusty heron]

good to have new generations on the hobby. I'm 42 and started at 12. Have a good day at work.

[final spruce]

I mean most warhammers fans I know already had minis at age 12-13

It's just enough to give you a taste until you got enough money to sustain your hobby as an adult

[open marsh]

sweats in not getting his first mini until he was 30

[storm jungle]

if i ever got models id jut use them as my desk buddy and be done with it

[open marsh]

pretty much same

[final spruce]

That's why i mentioned I know

[placid timber]

You want one?

[storm jungle]

[plucky moth]

ya boy too poor for models

[rotund siren]

just buy a paperweight

[storm jungle]

yeah ngl id just order a pre-painted one from ebay

im too lazy to paint and got shaky hands

[open marsh]

It says something about the lore that it attracts people who dont even play the game

[plucky moth]

yeah, it shows people are addicted to bad lore
