I don't think that the Dark Lord would be a 'good king.' He's like Sauron: you fear him but that fear pushes you to serve him as he can kill you in an instance. Plus Orcs hate everything good and beautiful because they themselves are hideous and ugly.

Most slaves would be stuffed into the massive factories. Constantly producing weapons of war while the armies of darkness march, taking more slaves. Capital punishments are harsh and over the top, ranging from impalement to getting outright castrated in front of the other slaves. And just to double down on the 'corrupting' nature of Notdor, the slavers obliterate the original identity of the slaves, harshly punishing those that speak their native tongues in front of their masters, forcing them to use the degenerated tongue of the orcs.

The Dark Lord knows that language can give concepts meaning so he goes out of his way to linguistically obliterate languages not unlike Oceania. But unlike Oceania with the state promoting sexual puritanism, the Dark Lord uses sex as a weapon. He lets the Orcs run wild in occupied territory, with slaves regularly brutalized by their Orc masters. Why? It breaks the slave's spirit, especially when half-orcs are born as half-orcs live lives as a perpetual underclass in Notdor society thus making another miserable proportion of society the Dark Lord can use.

Yeah. Being an Orc wench or a buck sucks ass... WEEEALLLLLL Unless you get that kine o' peculiar buck.

I think what he was trying to say is that the evil overlord of this setting fills the niche of the lawful good human king cliché from an ordinary fantasy setting. Obviously he'd still be evil.

The Orcs have several preferred slaving targets:
>Academies: both magic and mundy institutes of learning have high-born students. A literate slave is needed for logistics and book keeping after all.
>Castles: highborn slaves are always highly valued. Mostly as trophies, or for the princess to warm their beds.
>Idyllic villages: peasants from idealistic lives are among the funnest to break. Plus you can get a lot of work out of them before they die.
>Cities: wide arrange of slaves with variable skill levels. You might get a guild carpenter or a ratcatcher or a good tavern wench. Plus a lot of loot.
>Monasteries: those robe-wearing rats have gold, manuscripts, and all kinds of good stuff hidden away. Otherwise, they're a pain in the ass to deal with usually.
>Convents: 50/50 chance it'll be good. You might get a young blonde initiate OR you'll have to cut your way through masses of screaming women who mutilated their faces so they wouldn't get raped.

'Meh' targets:
>Serf villages: the Easterling 'serfs' are already miserable with broken spirits. In fact, Orcs buy these wretches from boyars all the time. But they work, and keep their head down as a good slave should.
>Multigenerational slaves: slaves are slaves.

They also avoid enslaving:
>Intelligentsia: teachers, physicians, and other 'high' burghers are too well-educated to be trusted so they're killed en masse. While they'll gladly enslave the royal family, the burgher who lectured at Master John's University of Goldshire will get killed instantly which hasn't gone unnoticed.
>Gnostics, dervishes, sword saints, and other 'religious weirdos': they're just trouble. Especially hashashin.

After watching Punch Punch Forever I got the idea of a lighthearted JRPG setting not unlike Pokemon where a Demon Lord had successfully conquered the land and then setup a strong central government with a dense yet efficient bureaucracy centered around combat to settle disagreements and determine leadership within a given hierarchy. Human towns exist between stretches of wilderness, and demon police maintain the civil rights humans were granted by the Demon Lord. The wilderness is a wild and lawless place where most demons feel at home, leading tribes of monsters to war against others just because there's no more great armies to fight. Technology has advanced to a vague solar punk level where most people travel on foot, ride bikes, or take ferries and trains to get places. Knowing how to fight and defend yourself against monsters and anyone who challenges your position within the hierarchy is an essential skill taught to all children. The degree of corruption in a given settlement is largely dependent on the moral compasses of its strongest warriors. Any young adventurer can walk in and challenge the local magistrate, but doing so means he's obligated to assume that magistrate's job, or to nominate a better candidate. Most leaders aren't actually competent at their given job, and require a lieutenant to advice them on the nitty gritty of their profession, but there are exceptions. Every now and then you do run into an exceptionally intimidating accountant or a judge who can best every lawyer in town in single combat.

He's a retard. You can only take a dreadnought and landspeeder if you have a Techmarine character.

>>93255583

It's a bit hard to tell, but from the classic photo of Reed's full army it looks like he didn't own any Techmarines at all.

Which is pretty hilarious as it means NONE of those vehicles could be legally used in a game.

>>93255632
I also noticed that one dreadnought on bike base, damn how did it ever stay upright. Didn't this army get ruined by gw employee just swiping them into a single box for transportation?

>>93255825
I think that's a WFB chariot base rather than a bike base, which is 50mm wide so would probably be ok for a dread.

been working on my Chinese inspired fanfic faction for Warhammer

do you think the shoulder collar pieces here fit fine into Warhammer? Men would wear ones like the top, women the ones on the bottom.

They are also shirtless for the most part, with women only wearing a cloth bikini over their breasts. So it'd mostly be the shoulder mantle piece as their primary upper body wear.

Here is a start, some gnomish holy days. Based on Faerun, because its the best known, and a calendar needs a pre-existing history.

Lunar New Year: moon 1 (march/april); each moon begins on the newmoon (opposite of full).
Skipping: moon 1 (april), days 14-25; celebrating the creation of the Trail of Mists, escaping the Time of Bondage in Netheril.
Tenday: moon 3 (may/june), day 6 ; celebrating gnomes first being taught by the Lords of the Golden Hills (their pantheon).
The Seventeenth: moon 4 (june), day 17; morning the devastation of Lantan
Day of Disasters: moon 5 (july/august), day 9; morning the many disasters that have afflicted the gnomish peoples.
Day of Creation: moon 7; days 1-2; anniversary of the creation of the soul-gems of gnomes; celebrated with firework-like bursts of illusion magic.
Day of Atonement: moon 7 (sept/oct), day 10; repenting the cursing of the gods during the Bondage; a day of fasting and apologies, a day to repair the world.
Tenday of Gathering/Pavilions/Tents: moon 7 (sept/oct); day 15-25; communal celebration.
Eleventh Day: moon 7 (sept/oct); days 26-7; guards the Gathering from being disturbed by mundane distractions; yes, the Eleventh Day is two days - this kind of thing happens over 4000 years.
Dedication: moon 9 (dec/jan), day 25; Celebrating the founding of the first temple to Gond in Lantan; lighting candles, singing Dedication songs, playing mechanical games, and giving gifts.
Tenth of the Tenth: moon 10 (dec/jan), day 10; a day of fasting to morn the fall of the First Temple (of the Lords of the Golden Hills) to the Netherese Empire.
Day of Trees / Feast of Baervan Wildwanderer: moon 11 (jan/feb), day 15; a day to plant trees, gather fruit, and eat a dessert made of grains, dried fruits, and nuts.

>Similarly I feel like Lemurians shouldn't have religions or gods per say, or at least not the usual attitude one would have toward religions or gods. A god is just a monster you haven't yet killed and stolen the power from, after all...
I feel like they would take a very buddhist approach to gods. Some gods exist, certainly, but they don't matter all that much if they aren't also pursuing their Fate. Philosophy supplants the role that religion has elsewhere, and they probably don't even necessarily deny the existence of other gods. They hear that Jesus revived himself after three days and assume he was a really powerful cultivation master or something.

>>93254816
It's not really about faith so much as it is about having a way for those who would be normally weaklings to show to themselves that at least they're strong enough to willingly get carted.
Like if you can't cultivate strength or mental stuff at least you can cultivate courage.
It's not leaping madly in front of the cart in a fervor, it's walking out slowly and staring it down.

It could crush Degens into Fleshy Outgrowth (not sure if there's a call for it as a mechanic right now however), and simply have a "Grinding Fate" counter for non-degen models it crushed, both enemy and friendly. Not sure what the Counter could give.
I also realize that if we bake LoS into most Prophecies than having the Car simply grant Vantage Point or some improved version of it might be very useful on its own.

>>93254968
you

don't have to center a blast template over a model, it just has to have its central hole fully over one enemy model when you place it prior to scatter

you don't even have to place it against the front model in the unit, you can literally drop it down anywhere within range and los (assuming you don't have barrage) before scatter

even if you for some reason centered it over a 40mm base, the diameter of a 5" blast would still catch all but the most autistically precise 2" coherency models as in practice nobody really goes over 2" and most models are going to be between 1" and 2" apart, if that

no, a 3" blast centered precisely wouldn't catch another model more than 1/2" away, but the only requirement for placement is that you put that 10mm hole fully over the base which will still usually let you hit something else because you've got 1 1/4" to play with

I think at some point it was worded that you had to center the template over the target model, but not since like the 90s or something

anyway given that 2/3 blast templates scatter it's best to place it in the middle of the target unit's visible models and scatter from there, especially since for most units it only matters that models are hit and their controlling player then allocates those hits, not you; since your average scatter after BS4 is only 3", you're likely to concentrate all those hits onto the unit by random occurrence better than you could by directly placing templates, other than if the rule was "must only be touching a model", in which case you'd be facing players who were going for millimetre-accurate placement to try and game the system

Fucking hate them. Literally worst idea ever. I can't think of a single idea to integrate into core game design that would make me lose interest without even looking at execution.

It's fine for stuff that uses the double-sided card for something amounting to a token or game piece but one of the worst idea ever for cards in a deck intended on being sleeved /shuffled.

I really like the idea of double-sided full art tokens, in general.

Just now leaving the card show. Man, what a fun time! I bought waaaaay too much stuff (as one does in this situation), and I can't wait to get home and go through it all and remember what all I even purchased.
Also, holy shit there were so many adorable shotas and lolis running around the entire time. It was nice.

>>93255669
basically what this anon said >>93255700
not if it's meant to be shuffled in, unless the card being marked is somehow the point.

but for other cards there's a lot of good reasons you might do that. the flippable avatar cards you see in some games where your character switches between modes are a great example, like the hero/alter-ego in marvel champs, or the car/robot cards in transformers.

>>93254795

Some old D&D book about the undead recommended tailoring weaknesses to the specific vampire. So you could make a vampire that could handle crosses (holy symbols) but was repulsed by cooked brocoli.

His position is that skipping past irrelevant content is /v/ behaviour.
In fact, while the OSR movement are deeply autistic about never cutting away and having strict timekeeping at a set pace (even time moving between sessions at a set rate), there are many other pacing options. Many of those are nearly as old as D&D and have considerable tabletop appeal.
