>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, Deadzone, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander,
Freebooter's Fate,Frostgrave, Gaslands, Hordes of the Things, Kings of War, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Moonstone, Oathmark, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam,
Stargrave, Sludge, Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenotactics and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

It's several actually. The Samael and Steampunk ones are basically army+few extra options while Church one is 2-3 armies worth. You're typically running 5-6 units, sometimes less, and rarely more.

Played them in the past but took it apart because despite the vast majority of slivers being weaker than other actually supported tribes and requiring a 5 color manabase, their at this point undeserved reputation means you will either be focused hard because they fear an imaginary boogieman roughly in the shape of your deck. Hell fucking pirates as a tribe have better support yet no one shits their pants in fear rage when you bring them to the table.
>>
>>92675129
I think that's the joke. Getting angry (or at least pretending to) at comic sans is a stupid old redditor meme, so I guess the joke is that you have these cards that are generally considered "salty" (although I don't see how doom blade in particular fits into that but I guess removal in general gets people salty) with great artwork being "ruined" by comic sans with random capitalization. So yeah the "joke" is that these make people angry. The fact that you're complaining that this art is wasted here is the joke itself.

Previous Thread >>92640657

>What is Project Fourk-Hammer?
Project Fourk-Hammer (provisional name) is an experiment to see if the 40k community on /tg/ is interested enough to come together to homebrew a fan fork edition of Warhammer 40,0000's 3-7e Era, primarily inspired by 4th Edition. Think Warhammer Armies Project but for Warhammer 40k's Fourth Edition.

>Why are you doing this?
/tg/ complains about modern 40K constantly. At least one /tg/ anon has already succeeded in producing a viable alternative to 40K in the form of OnePageRules, however this is not satisfying to many since it is too shrimplified and lacks the flavour and identity they love, or once loved.

>How can I contribute?
Post in the thread things you want to see in your idealized version and respond to other posts making proposals, or present material you have prepared such as rules text or art. The project is looking for someone who will commit to acting as a maintainer, which means compiling and editing discussions, effectively a secretary position.

>What has been done so far?
Currently, the statlines, dice mechanics, hit and wound tables and a good portion of the fundamentals are the same, but how they interact should be more engaging. How it functions from roll to roll will feel familiar.

Wargames have basically almost never been true to scale, that's not a 40k issue. 28mm in particular is like almost always incorrect in some way. It's complicated battles on boards that are little too small with models that are a bit too big, but that's okay. It makes for a fun game and that's the important bit. If you want full simulationism, you're looking into historicals that have tried the same thing and it's an almost entirely alien experience. If you convert warhammer to chain of command and play at 15mm, you're playing an extremely different but probably more realistic game.
If you want true warhammer, epic is probably the best bet. It's the only game that captures that "dudes swordfighting in the front, titans walking in the back" feel.
>>
>>92674667
I like the other ones I mentioned, yeah Epic is pretty much TRVE 40K but "this is what a platoon (more or less) of 1:1 represented Guardsmen or their equivalent strength in another faction could handle on a patrol" does still feel like a good middle ground for something larger than a scrap between two squads and a proper battle.
>>
>>92674544
>>92674555
>>92674647

This is a good subject for discussion. Here's how I see it:

The introduction of Guard orders in their 5e codex was a design paradigm shift for the game. I think the success of it (in terms of fan reception) is ultimately what started GW designers down the road towards where it landed in 9th edition. It's the first memorably bespoke gameplay system for an army I can remember. Other, earlier books sometimes had them for army building purposes, some had something close to one as a balancing tool (Necron Phase Out and Tyranid Synapse). But Guard Orders feel, to me, decidedly closer to things which came much later on such as GSC Ambush rules, Dark Eldar Pain tokens, and plainly as a reaction to players looking at Guard Orders and going, "boy, that's a cool and unique way to make playing the plain soldiery more engaging - WHY CAN'T I HAVE THAT TOO". Hell even the people who disliked it, did it on the merit of the basic nonsensical nature of it - why is the unique trait of the Guard their ability to... follow orders? They're somehow gooder-er at it than fucking Space Marines?

So, I think that if army-specific gameplay systems (and I want to emphasize, these are things that happen *in game* that only that army features, it's a distinction that's hard to codify wholly but you definitely know them when you see them - to name another example, Votann Judgment tokens) are something you want, you should be aware it's something of a slippery slope that will likely lead to a system that feels remarkably similar to 8th and 9th edition.

To me, even though this one in particular arrived not terribly late into the 3rd-7th era, I think it's too in line with what this project presumably was wanting to avoid. A lot of the fatigue people experienced in 8th and 9th was over keeping track of every army's unique, special twists on the core rules, and my impression is that's who this project is aimed to please.
>>
>>92674850
Not an unfair critique, I'd say. In comparison to other gamified meta-abilities/currencies, I don't think orders are that bad.
I have to wonder about the difference between the order system as we know if for guard versus character auras or character buffs to a squad.
If only guard/guardlike [like Tau infantry, for example] armies got these kinds of squad-tactical bonuses while more elite armies had auras or squad buff equivalents that are just 'ON' and nonselectable, would that sort of system add more flavor or distinction between superhuman/monstrous armies vs more "army" armies?
That's if either of these concepts survive as we know them in any capacity.

I remember a 7 samurai situation like that in a game
>small town with actual 2 meter walls is attacked constantly by bandits
>they hire us to defend them
The barb got killed by a horse charge that dealt like 200+ damage, we were level 7 btw but every bandit seemed to be built into crit fishing while charging despite not everyone having horse. GM also suicided all the bandits on kamikaze charges hoping for that insane impossible to survive hit. I don't like when GM treat enemies as disposable grenades who will never surrender and who will launch themselves into battle and die by dozens just to kill a random PC, makes no sense

And yeah, we also made a trench around the town's two entrances, they still jumped over it with some weird mounted charge feat

>storyfagging

>>
>>92671686
Yeah it is quite shitty when the GM figures out the mechanics but then entirely forgets to roleplay.

Being a 5-7CR critfishing bandit is all well and good but surely there's more money in critfishing lords and dungeons and dragons than some random village with 2 meter walls (average person's height is like 1.7 meters)
