That is peak 40k shit right there. Especially if the Saint is an inhuman dick.


to add to their image thing, Sororitas of the Immortal Purity get the budget Grey Knight treatment where through extensive Hypnomat use, they forget their birth name, and receive a saint's name.
Any higher ranks above that though, come with an inherited name, weapons and armour(EG the 4th Retributor of X squad is named Katherine, the Sister superior of Squad Orphilia is named Orphilia, and wields a power rapier and inferno pistol). Ritual and hypnomat training help the sister adjust. The only exception being the Canoness, who does not have a name.
Naturally, this contributes to their legend and morale-stirring abilities, that the sisters are immortal, and will simply return again later if momentarily bought low. But doesn't help the psychotic breaks, identity trauma and tendency to serial murder their own sisters
No relation, affiliation or any interaction with the alpha legion. None. This is all on them.

>Is the reason Abhumans are allowed in the Imperium because they are useful?
Pretty much yes
>How much of a difference outside of "normal" is allowed before a person is killed for being a mutant?
It really is mostly about being useful enough to keep around, but it's also more about how stable the deviation from norm is. Mutants largely have a unique mutation each. Abhumans began as mutations, bu by now created a stable subspecies

It's really just the logical conclusion of it, but actually I was being literal- we're not betting on if she was a man before, we're betting on if she was a regular woman before. She could have been stitched together from parts, a child plucked off the streets, vatgrown from malleable human stock like a sentient SCID mouse, anything. In either case there is the strong feeling that she is NOT like us.

From what little they speak of it, Dread lights are rare for most Chapters, with the most common ones being the Castaferrum sarcophagus variant. Chassis selection is done more on a whats-available basis, where even if the pilot did have a preference of chassis, the Chapter may not have any available to them.
It also depends on how Chapters view being entombed in a Dreadnought; for a lot of Chapters, it's a means of preserving a member that's shown distinguishing heroics, like in the Black Templars, whereas the White Scars view it less favorably, seeing a brother as being trapped within a Dreadnought as a sacrifice of freedom.

If an important enough figure within a Chapter has need of being entombed in a Dreadnought, that usually influences chassis selection; Chaplains, Chapter Masters, and even Tech Marines have been noted as being preserved in a Dreadnought so as not to lose the experience they bring to the Chapter, and are usually afforded more durable, and sophisticated models of dreadnought.

>the balancing is as bad as its ever been
No it isn't, is it better than it's ever been. And there are more tournament results than ever to back that up. There are still dominant factions/builds but their reigns are measured in MONTHS and the have-nots are not forced to wait 3-5 years to have a chance of using their army again.

>models and rules are priced and balanced in a way that exploits your dopamine system
A completely buzzword-brained take on the rote 2020's "dopamine" grievance. No, waiting several months for a balance update that may make a unit better, then buying, building, painting and eventually using that unit is not an appeal to the dopamine system. Pray tell, at which point in that weeks-to-months-long process is the dopamine released lmao

Depends what you want, you see a lot of hate towards what they are here because they require a ton of time commitment, but I think campaign games have the issue where a lot of them are really good but time is a bitch to get to finish them.

When a video game takes 100 hours, its super easy to put 1-2 hours a day without affecting your schedule much, where as its tough as shit to get 3+ adults to meet up enough times to play a campaign game, and STILL play the other games in your collection.

Also Tanares is cool.

>>97328155
When it's just me and my brother we typically play the coop, which is fine, you get to experience the systems (aside from attacking and stealing other player's stuff). It becomes a straight action economy puzzle at that point. You're just hunting as many cresters as you can without getting caught at awkward moments by red/white ones before you're prepared, or getting stuck out at sky and dying to tanking morale.
It's absolutely playable, but if the theme isn't doing a lot of work for you I can see it getting boring quickly.

Obviously with more players you then have the race for crester hunting and players opportunistically (or serialy...) raiding eachother. The map becomes a lot more busy and interesting, and there's plenty of room for people to be dicks to eachother (so a conflict averse group might get toxic). Its easy to see the heart of the game lies here.

Wingspan was the game that made me finally realize how much I hate European-style board games. My criteria is basically this--by the last third of the game, I had better have a realistic chance of winning or already eliminated.

I think the sessions are long. My players think the sessions are too long.
My players are mad at me for how long the sessions are. I am upset with them for being mad.
Just tell me how you feel. It's not like I can read minds. 4 of the players' voices sound the same when tired as when they are vigorous. We play in voice chat on a VTT, so it's not like I can look at them to see how tired they are.
Sure, as the DM, I have knowledge of what is coming up, but clearly I'm not good at estimating how long things take. I'm first time DM, give me some grace.

Hard rule from now on. End the session right as combat breaks out. Start each session with combat.

>Might there be a Lemurian phenomena that's similar? Would be worth exploring in further writing.
Unless you were referencing the Juggernaut directly, its already in the game. The view I had of Lemuria initially was pretty anthetical to this kind of thing, however, I don't think it would be something widely used, or culturally encouraged, since the Cultivation mindset in the warrior caste requires you to pity that the weak cannot be strong opponents to you (which is completely different from taking pity *on* the weak, mind you) rather than outright hate them.
Degens would be free game, however, its obviously their fate not to amount to anything anyways.

Very few units have had stats set up to 10, the Jugg and Nap being those that I remember right now (Nap with Awareness and Discipline 10). While at 10, you automatically pass any test, yes, but not necessarily win every face-to-face roll.

I've checked the Taiping book and will upload it as well as the tokens, there's a few things I'll want to change or clarify in the rules, still making a list, but it'll 100% work in the meantime.
>>97314298
Alright, it'll be an econ unit, the carts will be random, its the best way to do it without turning the train into a more limited tank, and I want to avoid that. All the carts will have some transport capability, you might just not want to spawn your soldiers in the dining cart, but that's what you rolled this turn and you need the soldiers so... that kind of choice.
>>97315417
What I'm thinking is that the rails will be split off and set in the regular Structures section of the rulebook, so even if you don't have access to the Locomotive, you could lay tracks as part of an econ engine, and I'm thinking of putting the handcar >>97302625 as a merc special unit, since that shouldn't really be restricted, especially in a setting that takes place mostly in caves.
The rails would be something like "gain X silver per Track token connected and controlled", with the exception that the player who layed them controls them by default if they connect to his deployement zone(?). The Locomotive itself would grant Silver from exiting Carts from the maps, with bonuses set for exiting quickly and off non-deployment map edges.

updated and clarified it a bit. The idea is that you sacrifice 12" of range and SHRAPNEL but turn the Artillery Witch from a damage dealer to a control piece.

-- Mind Bomb --
Cost: 2 GLORY
May use this instead of casting an Infernal Bomb.
1-Handed, 24", BLAST 3", IGNORE COVER, IGNORE ELEVATED POSITION, IGNORE LONG RANGE, RELOAD, SCATTER.

INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS: Add -1 DICE to the next Success Roll taken for enemy models that are hit by the blast.

FROM MY MIND TO YOURS: If a model was the target for an Mind Bomb and hit by it, or if the Mind Bomb scattered and the target point was on the model’s base, roll 3D6 and add all 3 dice together. Any +INJURY DICE or -INJURY DICE that applied to the Injury Roll will apply normally, except that you pick the 3 highest or lowest dice in the roll instead of the 2 highest or lowest.
If the injury check is a Minor Hit result you may move the model D6" in addition to dealing 1 Blood Marker. The move must be in a straight line, but can be in any direction, and can be used to make the model move with 1" of an enemy or retreat, and to Climb a sheer surface, Jump across a gap, or Jump Down.
If the injury roll is a Down or Out of Action result you may choose to, in addition to the effects for Minor Hit, inflict a 6" area around the model where all actions are considered RISKY until the Artillery Witch's next activation, after which the effect dissipates.
Injury Rolls for other models caught in the Infernal Bomb’s Blast are made normally.

when you were referring to the purple/violet similarity, were you referring to them as energies (when they are upside down and all you see is the bottom stat symbol background), them in play (their border colors), or both?

I looked at the cards and noticed there is an error on my end, where the "violet" (magenta purple) stat symbol color is still purple or near purple. the border colors are more differentiatable though.

I was messing with the purple/violet colors up until right before printing, trying to coordinate their clear differentiation due to similarity in appearance.

I believe this also occurred on 1 or 2 of the sub types of the red cards border colors.

In any case, i think i'm going to remove the dedicated "story" (silver) type altogether, and convert it to a meta type (any card can be played as a story/narrative element into the narrative zone (keeping the narrative zone and mechanics), sort of like energies. this will also free up the silver color, which I can assign to psi, and that should solve all the color problems. silver also makes a kind of sense with psi.

this will also allow me to assign a proper violet to what is called "violet" now, but is more of a magenta purple.

it solves all the color issues and streamlines/simplifies gameplay all at once.
