>>97244117That oneShe can't really tell the two games apart unfortunately, she probably assumed that "big sci-fi robot dude" could realistically belong to the same setting as "big fucking sci-fi cannons manned by rats"
>>97244153lel iktf. Just under a decade ago I offhandedly told my mom I kinda liked some warhammer stuff, and next christmas she gave me a bunch of 40k death guard boxes. I don't like 40k, I don't like nurgle, I don't like marines, but despite all that those specific models of mine are probably my favourite ones I own now.Good times. Merry christmas anon.
>>97244170Basically what happens to me every time, it really helps that I mostly paint for fun so different ranges and models are great to test stuff out or break out of my usual schemes; I am just happy to have someone who listens to me and goes out of her comfort zone to make me happyMerry Christmas to you too, anon, all the best.
What's a good tag team faction for Sylvaneth?I'm taking my nephew to a doubles event next week and fully expect to have to carry him, any suggestions for a faction to take that will either synergize well with Sylvaneth or make up for their weaknesses.My first thought was Stormcast, for deepstriking shooting, but I'd like to hear other suggestions.I have over 2k of about half the armies in the game
>>97244153I hope it's fun to paint, worst case scenario you can rebase it as a mega gargant or something. Seems skaveny to have some stupid giant robot with spikes on it.>>97243816I got a magnet case, normally wouldn't go for something so extravagant but I have to walk like a mile to the game shop and having something that at least holds models and is easy to carry was tempting. Picking up a big lot this Friday of stuff from a guy whos brother passed and he's getting rid of all of his old warhammer and hobby stuff. (This is the big lot of 40k, I've tried asking other anons what the hell is going on in this pic) there's a bunch of paints, hobby stuff, models both new, on sprue, and built. Just gonna see where I wind up with it and maybe disperse some of them to my local painting group.
Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.Comment too long.

>>97238257The Jenga tower mechanic you refer to is used in Dread, which is specifically a horror game. The purpose of it as a resolution mechanic is that it inherently builds tension over the course of a session, which feeds into the nature of horror as a genre.In games without a similar genre convention that needs to govern the flow of emotional energy, consistent randomization like dice makes more sense because it serves equally well in all scenarios.The ball-and-cup method you've described doesn't really play into any specific genre convention. Each toss is still a discrete event, so it doesn't have a linearity the way there is with Dread. In fact, if anything, it would interrupt the session more often than not, what with people needing to physically move around to the throwing position, retrieve their balls, and reset the cups.
>>97243029>If the tower fell your character was got by the killer.Was it fun?Like I was saying this scene inspired me to think about this mechanic. https://youtu.be/2TJxTysByZ8?t=15It will never be>Oh fuck a demon lord drooped there is no way my characters attack + D20 max can kill him I am dead. GG Everyone!it will me>Oh fuck a demon lord drooped, how the fuck will I manage to get a perfect 10/10 into this tiny cup?!>Player sweats>Player tries to land every ballTheoretically it is possible to win this however it is extremely unlikely. So every scenario can be won. The middle ground is if you fight some ogre and the difficulty ramps up so you are not throwing small balls into giant baskets you are throwing balls into small baskets.Comment too long.

>>97243134A game of jenga is a series of tense moves that ultimately result in a dramatic and spectacular failure. I think that's what anon means by "linear", as over the course of a session it maps to how a lot of horror movies play out.Beer pong doesn't really have that same arc per session, but I think it might work to model the feeling of combat. Aiming for weak spots, and so on. Unfortunately you seem a bit retarded, so I doubt you'll make anything worth playing.
>>97243134>>Each toss is still a discrete event>?????When you remove a Jenga block from a tower, the removal of that block affects every subsequent removal.>>so it doesn't have a linearity the way there is with Dread.>???????????The Jenga tower is going to fall. That is factually inevitable. Technically, if improbably, you could roll a d20 a million times in a row and never get less than 10, but Jenga will eventually reach a point at which it is impossible to remove a block without bringing down the tower. It will likely fall earlier than that, though, due to a combination of factors including which block you're removing and which ones have previously been removed.>What is the difference between There isn't one--that's my point. As a simple substitution, the ball-and-cup wouldn't add any mechanical tension that isn't already present in rolling a die. Your vague platitudes that people would care more about the result have more to do with GMing style than with the physical method discussed.>>97243938>I think it might work to model the feeling of combat. Aiming for weak spots, and so on.See, this is the first actual suggestion that presents any advantage to the beer pong over dice. Different cups of different sizes, at different distances from the player, could be used to deal more or less damage to an opponent. You'd have your easy, all-but-certain options that you'd need more of, or you could go for the ones you're more likely to cock up but would significantly shorten the duration of the combat. While this could be achieved with dice simply by changing target number, a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey board with cups arranged on it could be more evocative in certain games--though it does carry the slight disadvantage that all relevant information would have to be presented to the players up front, rather than any of it remaining hidden.

>>97242400Definitely frostgrave. You could try a co-op one though. Rangers of shadowdeep has a story that might keep her more engaged and much less wizadry. 5 leagues from the borderlands could be fun if she enjoys the campaign aspect of it. Depends if she just wants to play and not think about it afterwards or wants a campaign experience.
>>97242400Open Combat. I suggested it to another anon not long ago and it's still in NewVola.
>>97242400IF you want to keep it really, really simple for the introduction and maybe scaling it bit by bit after the first game then I'd recommend OPR Skirmish, and only go into Frostgrave and Mordheim if she really gets into fantasy skirmish
>>97242400You should get her on a diet and a stairmaster. Also Warhammer Quest (1995)
>>97244245She's a beast on the stair master desu. She'll hammer that thing for hours straight. I do my cardio in short sprints but she just keeps climbing.And good point on WHQ. I've always wanted to play that.
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97229027Damn, this looks like shit! I thought AI was supposed to be good by now?
I was about to say something related to the thread question but I was mesmerized by how shit the artwork is. Only a complete tasteless retard would commission something like this.. I bet the guy who commissioned this is also a faggot beside a conglomerate of other mental issues.

>>97239620Are those a child’s hands? You have to be at least 18 to post here. I would have loved a gift like that. Instead all my wife gave me is putting on another 5 kgs plus this year. She’s going to die from being an obese fat cunt at this point.

>>97242205In Grappler Baki, one of the prison convicts Yanagi had the whole void palm thing going for all of 5 minutes until switching over to the poison hand. He could grip things by forming a perfect vacuum with his palm which he used to break out of reinforced glass prison. He also incidently blew the brains out of one of the guards by blowing into his ear.There is also Naruto where Danzo is spitting vacuum blades at Sasuke and using his Chakra to form a blade of wind on his shuriken so he could sword duel him nevermind his summon that sucked in everything towards him.Beyond that, you're probably not going to get much more out of it without going into the realm of ridiculous or esoteric.

>>97241680Sadly no, just a glass bottle.
>>97241808Further confirmation that modern 40k is a game for fags and trannies.
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97235906I will say that the stuff that was broken in 7th, everyone knew it was broken and the people I played with wouldn't play with it unless both sides knew the gloves were coming off.I had a lot of fun that through that edition, but all I ran was a CAD with a Sorcerer, 3 TSon squads and ~500 points of heavy support. I did not win much but 4++ and fearless on the Rubrics meant I would have models on the table at the end of the game (unless I got swarmed by orks or D-Flamers happened) so losing did not feel terrible and they could kill MEQ in the open so I could do some damage even if they were slower than molasses in the snow and were hard capped at a 24in threat range.
>>972173025th ed represents the changing of the old guard, it was the first edition where the OG designers didn't make it. It has some good, it has some bad. Some example:>5th ed adding universal runs was a nice feature.>5th had better mixed cover save and simple wound allocation rules, but way worse complex unit rules to the point many considered it game breaking.>I liked scattering blast templates in 5th.>4th had better combat resolution mechanics>I like the 6" area terrain rule in 4th (but at least 5th still has area terrain rules, they removed this in 6th ed)I cant remember a full list, I should make one. But I do remember doing a throughough side by side read through once and coming up with about 70% of the time I preferred 4th edition to the change.I think most of the hate from 5th comes from the codices, which granted had tons of flavor but bad balance. 4th (with some 3rd ed books) was more "stable".
>>97217373Yeh that was sad. At the same time though, its a great book. If I had to pick id go 4th over 3rd for orks. The shock attack gun and weird boy were awesome. And deffkoptas are cool as fuck.
>>97226129>Huckleberry's Mechanicus listnever heard of this, thanks for pointing it out.
>>97243610The universal running is questionable.Mostly because everyone on foot was moving 6" so the only way to make things faster like Eldar or Hormagaunts was giving them run, but now everyone can run you lost that option.The scattering of small blast from 5th there are times I like it and other I do not. Usually I'm only hitting 3 models and maybe wounding 2, unless my opponent is super cluster up in cover so adding the extra scatter was not a fun thing.But a change we did add was heavy weapons for infantry can shoot but only on 6 when moving and blast do scatter when moving. Till now it does not look like 4th edition rules have broken due to that change. >>972436263rd/4th has about 10 years worth of content made by people that actually cared about their game.
