>>97364271>feel like it is straightforward from the get goNot as much as you'd think. Learn the assist system, it's fundamental and yet plenty of players refuse to heed it and allow their defensive lines to get unraveled by just some mildly smart positioning. If you get the vidya it can be a good kicking off point, it does a lot of the work for you in the background though so reading the rulebook is very recommended to understand exactly what's going on. I'm in an online league that runs off BB2 myself, that's a ruleset more similar to BB2016 but legendary edition gives you all the teams and goes cheap during sales.
>>97365071>>97365252BFG is quite interesting regarding army size and game duration. You got less units, but you got alot of weapons to fire. And there is a time when a squadron splits and suddenly the movements become units.
>>97365252I just have the 1 mate from my group who has several fleets he built as a teenager in the 00s, so I assume both our fleets will just be a bunch of stuff we thought looked cool lol, afaik he does have all the markers and shit that we'll need from the original game, but I have a neptune 4 if I need more of them.>You'll want at least 4 launch bays per 1000 pointsI do have a cruiser on the way that I was gonna build as a lunar class, is it worth building it as a dictator?

>>97363434Thanks man. Unfortunately, I think they are one of those 'factions' that slips through the cracks. Most people into medieval wargaming are interested in western Europe, and if they aren't interested in western Europe, they are interested in the crusades, in which Byzantine forces played only a small role with the exception of the 4th and even that, not really. And if you like the early middle ages, then up to about the 7th C (just) you can just use the ubiquitous late Romans, with a little modification if you are really into accuracy.It's a real shame, but not unsurprising - the market dictates what is made.
>>97363434>>97363829I recently discovered that all Byzantine minis based on Osprey publishing books are wrong. They didn't wear a padded garment over armor, that's the researcher translating or interpreting evidence wrong. I believe V&V have the most up-to-date Byzantines. There's also a Russian guy that sculpts good Byzantines but I've forgotten his name.
>>97364431It’s not technically incorrect, it was just not the standard practice that older Osprey books made out - the quilted gambeson was called a νευρικόν, and the Taktika of Leo VI states that all soldiers should wear mail (λωρίκιον αλυσίδετον) UNLESS they could not afford it, in which case they could wear the νευρικόν alone (Leo VI, Taktika, Diataxeis 5-6).>t. Wasted my life getting a PhD in Byz history.
>>97364535Or rather, I should say you are correct that they didn’t wear it over mail (which is commonsense really) - but they clearly did wear a quilted gambeson alone if they were poor enough.
Can someone give me a QRD on Firelock Games'... games?Are they pretty similar in mechanics but with different themes? Do they have different mechanics and, if so, does one really shine above the rest?
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97364896>everything seems to be about self-insert sjw bullshit and netflix tier romantasy railroading by DMstbdesu i used to think this way until giving old school games a try and playing a bunch more crpgs. in reality you can play something like 5e in an old school way just like you can play ose in a "new" school way. some people take to the pseudo mmo west marches style old school stuff, some people like the more on rails with feats and traits and whatever. i can see the merits in both styles even if i personally prefer running old school games because i like dungeon crawling more than being theater kids. if you're playing it with your friends then it'll be fun no matter what.wizards of the coast can get raped and killed tho kill every suit kill every exec

>>97365418I'd also like to submit Coconaught since they have protective instincts over allies, to the point where they're often employed as guardians and established populations of Coconaught developing cultures based around chivalry and altruism.

>>97366237Is there any masterlist of the collab 'mortas? There's not a link on the archive at least.
Do you guys know of any places that turn real places into top down tabletop maps? Looking for palaces specifically.
>>97363779I'm aware of that but I'm hoping for something higher detail and lower effort, stuff like this. I'm doing a Rogue Trader campaign with my boys. We were gonna lay out a whole command staff living area and customize each of our rooms, and I had the idea that we could just take an existing map of some historical baroque/rococo palace or something and then edit it to be more 40k. I assumed that there would be a billion people who have run historical campaigns and have made proper maps with textures, furnished interiors, etc for them, but I can't seem to find any.
>>97363831I know people post them on twitter, good luck finding them though
I've been down that road. Palaces and other enlightenment-contemporary structures are surprisingly boring in terms of layout. Just use dungeonscrawl and make your own thing imo
>>97364350I mean, in general people don't design palaces with dungeon crawling in mind.
>>97364350How is that boring.There's like a billion things that could happen in that floor plan.
Necromancy Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

>>97364462>slop == artNo you little retard, those are not the same thing.Making art is something that skilled people can do, something they have spend time training to do. They impose upon themselves a goal and limitations to create something new, something that few others can make, and yet want to see.You don't do any of that. You do something that anyone else could do. You spend a moment typing words into a machine, and at most 5 minutes deciding if what the machine made was good enough, if even that. Your "work" has no value, no benefit. But you share it anyway, with the same pride as a toddler shares a potty, because he didn't shit on the floor this time.Nobody needs your 'help' with making slop. Nobody wants to see your piece of crap you had the machine belch forth. Even the other slopshitters don't really care about what you make, only about how their outputs compare to yours, about who can make the machine do the funniest lurch. That is why you feel alienated by the AI thread. You have no home, because you haven't earned the right to be anywhere. It is only through the flaws in this board that your existence is even noticed and despised, like vermin skulking beneath the floorboards. So take your filth, leave this place and do not return. Both your live and ours will be better for your passing, even if you can not restrain yourself from fulfilling a desire to create by claying with your stool.

>>97364164Honestly pretty ass. It's easy and better than nothing, but the company is truly horrific. And I stopped keeping up years ago but expect it only got worse. I also got banned once because we used to have a flames general and I kept larping as battlefront satirizing how pants on head greedy and stupid their idea was to make people wait 5 years to be able to play basic armies in their new edition, so jannies were mad af that their casual game was getting heatI can't imagine bothering with it when there's just so many other half decent (not lardies) games out there. But also that is a better question for HWG who might have other answers. I also used FOW minis for alt history awg stuff
>>97365499All I remember of it is that many casual games/tournaments devolved into tankspam lists.
>>97365530Yeah it was a shitshow because it was trying to be historical 40k and fell on its ass because of it. I did like the v4 cards and thought it streamlined what was a clunky game, but honestly, it attracted the worst kind of ahisotrical bullshit. You'd see photos of tank parking lots exploiting the rules. Just shit. I only liked to play casually where I could sprinkle in awg elements and minis. Ironically the games rules being so bad are why it is more of an awg because it sure as shit aint historical

No, I will be going with the same list as presented above, changed where it must be in regard to vehicle and unit upgrades where they must be.

I painted the coolest chaos warrior ever sculpted the other day. He'll be my chaos lord from now on.
>>97362973I love the skelly-diver sword
>>97283745In a word, Yes.I play almost exclusively with original cast lead figures from the 1980s (Except for the ones I've sculpted and cast myself), and I run my games (usually Realm of Chaos) from the original printed books.It is not always possible to find everything needed to run a game from the appropriate vintage, in which case some substitutes are unavoidable, but it is best to TRY to keep to the original materials whenever possible, or failing that modern reproductions in the style of those better days. Anything made with a computer is just not as good, you can feel the difference in your hand. Cast metal miniatures will ALWAYS be better than 3d prints, on both an aesthetic and technical level. I will always prefer artwork created by hand to anything made with software and computers, the machine just sucks the soul right out of it.I encourage my friends I play with to do the same, but I understand it takes a certain dedication that not everybody has so a couple years ago I started branching out my collection to include figures that my friends would often want to use, or monsters and creatures we might face in encounters & scenarios.I do not feel the need to track down original 1980s GW paints because A. They are a perishable commodity unlike metal miniatures which can more reasonably be expected to survive the decades, and B. GW has hardly changed or improved their paint formula at all in the past forty odd years, they've just steadily deteriorated the quality of the packaging and branding.I am not a hypocrite, but I am absolutely a Luddite, a Neo-Luddite if you will. I've tried it both ways and I can safely say from personal experience that the game is much more satisfying when played this way.
