>What detachments are you hoping to run together with the new multidetachment rules?
I'm going to be perfectly honest I currently only use firestorm because it's completely passive, enhancements are useless and the only stratagem I need to care about is overwatch. I read most detachments and I got not the faintest clue how to actually build around them. I asked for a drop pod assault detachment for years but when it finally arrived it looks more like it wants you to deepstrike land raiders than actually use drop pods. Everyone and their mother runs Gladius but I just see a lot of random bullshit with no rhyme or reason so who the fuck knows man.

just woke up from a dream about 11th edition that orks were able to be allied to every faction to act as freebooter mercenaries, and that there was no equivalent rules for any other army.

My genuine hope/cope is that the Drukhari codex was written with the new pointed detachment system in mind and that all their shitty little subfaction Detachments are going to be 2-point or 1-point options so they can be combined with other ones to try making something like their 9th edition system where they had three subfactions again.

Does that work for "serious" stuff? I've only seen the typical romance AU stuff come out of there. Then again the only fanfic I've read has been 1d4chan stuff coming from here and a 400k word monster of a dark souls fanfic. i'd do comic but I can't draw for shit.

Speaking of fanfic I remember a couple years ago someone was writing a story about a dude with irl 40k knowledge getting reincarnated as a minor random noble during the great crusade and warning the Emperor about the heresy. Does anyone have a link to that? Can't find it in 1d6chan and it might not even be archived since it was during those years where 1d4chan was offline more often than not.

How cancerous would it be to always have green tide in my detachment pool? Just regardless of what rules I have for the rest of my army there's always 120 5++ boyz messing up your objective play

>Does that work for "serious" stuff?
Yes. I've written something pretty "normal" and not smutty or crossoverslop for a fairly niche title and a surprising amount of people read it.
>>
>>97846285
it would be dependent on the detachment cost to know how cancerous it is.
>>
>>97846292
My guess is that it'll be 1 point because every rule in the detachment only applies to Boyz. Judging from what they said about the detachment points system the hyper focused detachments are 1.
Though it could be 2 since 120 Boyz is half your list
>>
>>97846291
I'll give it a go then. Thanks!

A centralized culture that constantly colonizes or otherwise culturally annexes other cultures and integrates surface-level symbols and features and exoticizes the other as a fetish such that the primary cultural juggernaut only recognizes those individuals by novelties associated with them and yet romanticises them within their own culture in a way that even the descendants of the original culture come to want to be recognized for the parody that has become their only enduring identity within the monolith that has consumed them utterly while still feeling like they will never truly belong within the larger culture because they have been told to value that they are an outsider and hold themselves at arm's length from true integration.

Question: what was the name of those human-xenos hybrids that had some brain implants that killed them when they were exposed to psychic powers? Rogal Dorn had them wiped out.

>The sex is not meant to be finished, it is meant to be continuous. Human ejaculations and orgasms only lead to further rounds with the alien. The alien is bound with restraints and needles feeding them numerous drugs, nutrients, and even anti-aging techno-sorcery to ensure they can never die as they're forced to sexually satisfy an endless line of humans. Humanity, having become so xenophiliac that they can't sex with other humans, reproduce entirely via factories churning out more humans, who have nothing on their mind but sex with the alien.

When you pick your army, do you do it for theme or for the strength of the given detachment?

I've sometime tried other detachment with the wraith host but It always feels off. Even if Spirit Conclave is utter rubbish.
>>
>>97846454
theme and narrative above all. Theres really only 1 army thats truly unplayably bad and EVEN then you can make it okay (imperial agents) and watch as the needle shifts in 11th and they become really good because you can pay 1 point to bring an agents detachment with your 2 point whatever else.

I usually see an aspect of the army that i really like an dbuild around it and then expand upon it.

nmm is just shading and highlighting with extreme contrast, it's not fundamentally different from other materials. gems are more complex.

The ratio of surface that is dark to surface that is bright defines what kind of material it reads as. Too high or too low and it looks unnatural. You have to hit in the general vicinity of actual properties of the material you're going for. Unfortunately, this skill is gained only through mindful practice.

Assuming each God made a streamer, which one would be the most popular?
>Khorne
Streams fighting games, easily tilted, will accept challenges from anyone in chat, is actually pretty good at said fighting games so she constantly kicks viewers' asses. Doesn't acknowledge subs or donations unless they managed to beat her Best Of 3.
>Tzeentch
Streams RTS and grand strategy games. Never shuts up about her build orders and tactics. Will answer questions about strategies from chat, but won't always tell the truth. The detail and accuracy of her info depends on how long someone has been subscribed or how much they donated.
>Nurgle
Streams life-sim and home decor games. Talks about cooking a lot, but often brings up recipes that would be borderline inedible for normal people. Tends to ramble on a bit slowly, but personally thanks every subscriber and donation. Even her model is fat.
>Slaanesh
Streams VNs. Hyper personality, high pitched voice, will make at least half a dozen sex jokes every stream. Has donation notifications of herself making lewd moans. Always shows up to stream with a new outfit.

I think we are all going to be really disappointed when every old Detachment stays at 3-points just so they don't have to rebalance them all for new combinations. The only ones that will get lower points will be "updated" Detachments with all their stratagems and enhancements changed to be more narrow in scope.

Remember when they did that Aeronautica game and it flopped so badly that its models only ever see existence in Not! Epic and Golden Demon awards?

Why no, you cannot have upgrade kits for different guard regiments, shoulderpads for space marine factions, conversion bits in general for lots of factions. Here is yet another specialist game and ten quadrillion necromunda kits.

>>
>>97846601
Side games come from a different budget pool than the main studio projects. GW was always going to allocate some time to a project to try to break into a new tabletop niche market even if it wasn't aeronautica. I believe the failure of that game partially prompted them to start making more of their side games like Kill-Team all have direct tie-ins to their main games from the get go though where now they are essentially a little support budget to help patch up existing ranges outside of their normal codex phase rotation.
