test model before going all in going alright so far
>>97223065as I read it, bro said kits with 70 parts or so, kinda implying that he'd be needing the aformentioned implements to paint them individually. If that's not the case my bad for having shit reading comprehension.>gunplathat much subassembly seems a lot even for gunpla. the only thing I could think of that goes that far is maybe a super over the top warship model >>97223297>what's an excessive amountfor normal size minis, anything more than 2 pieces, maybe 3 at most. most times I just leave off the head, if anything.>armiger painted in like 20 piecesseems a bit much to me; though, I haven't painted any knights yet, honestly. Just glancing at armigers, I'd probably just do the weapons and leg + shoulder armor separately for maybe 6 pieces + the main mf.
>>97223297>>97223785What's even the point of sub assembly if you're planning on doing highlights and not making it look like a toy?
>>97223799Sub-assembly is overall preferred when you have multiple pieces that are otherwise hard to reach and/or movable.
Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97217677If magic exists,and it's a natural phenomena, it should be common, spellcasting should be rare because it will be restricted by those in power having access to the knowledge. Spellcasting should take more time based on complexity and power of the formulae, any physical activity consumes energy based on intensity but training should mitigate the effects for a time. Ignoring your limits should be dangerous and magical, the corruption of self be it physically, mentally or spiritually. Now you have crazy magicians, deformed magicians or weir magicians caused by power hungry, not so clever or people skilled on hindsight.
If you want magic as a combat resource then fireballs etc are going to lose any sense of mystery pretty quickly. If you make casting times a lot longer then you can have magic as a background feature where the scenario is to stop or enable a ritual that opens a portal, summons or bnishes a demon... similar to Call of Cthulhu.If you drop the hermetic casting approach and have magic being gifted by infernal powers you also get a lot more flavour.
>>97217677>I hate it when something written by someone else decades ago did not perfectly conform to what I want it to be in every way!!>Things should only be what I want them to be!!!!
>>97217677>>97217788Could be worse, at least it's not Sabrina/Bewitched/I Dream of Jeannie shit where there is no limits or rules, anything goes no matter how stupid because we don't need to have rules.
>>97217677Magic should fit whatever setting and story it exists in. That's the only "should" there is in regards to magic. Trying to declare any take on magic as a one-size-fits-all solution all fantasy should adhere to is dumb as fuck.

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.

>>97221949it might be a bit 'cheap', yeah. on the other hand, if it results in a complete and functional scenario then I'm willing to forgive it. (at least as long as they're relatively uncommon novelties) >>97221974that was my impression of that one too, it's a cool idea but needed (and could support) more fleshing out to really do it justice. definitely a cool setting for something.
>>97221965I read his based on Alice in Wonderland earlier. It is barely functional stuff that nods at the theme. I guess you could play it but I don't know why you would.

>>97223367If Horus waged an actual war instead of beelining for Terra to try and shank the emps
>>97223411We place objective markers before deployment map, yes. We just also place objectives where there's not going to be any instant-victories if the right deployment map is rolled (early on we had too many games end immediately because we place 2 objectives in immediate range of where a DZ ended up being, and only 1 in the other with another 1 in no man's land).The center point of the objective can't be in the Deployment zone but the 3" area that you score within can. So yes, they are technically in no man's land but not in a meaningful way.To me it sounds like you're not really playing against shooting lists? if land raiders are "far from guaranteed" from getting killed. I'm losing a Spartan and half or more of the cataphractii inside turn 1 any time I deploy it in view/get 1st turn and move it forward. I've lost a Spartan and Typhon in turn 1 before.
>>97223446>In the old lore the traitors had a genuine chance at winning the heresylol
>>97223577How do you envision him doing that? He was in a worse position. Even their own legions weren't 100% on board with their plans and required culling. A lot of rebellions were just local forces desiring independence or smaller warlords taking the opportunity to forge their own little empires, rather than being loyal to Horus. Him taking out the one thing that held the Imperium together was better. Considering the Emperor is both keeping Terra from becoming a daemon world and protecting humanity from becoming daemon spawns, taking Him out would've been way better for Chaos than a systematic war of conquest on all fronts. Without the Emperor and Terra, the Imperium would fracture and whatever empires rose to take its place would not be as unified.

Why does lichdom exist when you can just clone yourself in 5e?
>>97223626Because your clone living on isn't the same as your consciousness continuing.
>>97223626In addition to the continuity question >>97223655 poses which is quite difficult and generally costly to answer (which varies by edition, which is in-universe split between obtuse changes in how magic functions and versions of the spell), lichdom makes you a lot harder to put down in the first place, brings you back faster, for as many times as you can get away with for a single up-front cost, and actually "solves" aging fully.
I haven't kept up with 40k lore in a long while but I just found out that they brought this guy back for no real reason and I find it really cringe. What I liked about the old lore was that humanity was in decline, the Imperium that once was is a long distant memory, the heroics of the past is shoruded in uncertainty and ambiguity and all that remains is the rot and decay. Now we have a dude from the past that has just come back and he is totally badass and cool and is gonna fix everything and also any ambiguity that makes the past mysterious and interesting is now gone because there are people alive who can backup what happened. It feels less grimdark and more marvel super hero shit. I don't really like it.
>>97222222HOLY, witnessed
>>97222222BASED KILL ALL FAGHAMMER FAGS
Ironically, bringing Guilliman and Lion back is the most pro-fascist movement they could take. No longer are the problems of the Imperium due to their totalitarian ways. No longer is the decay caused by their dogma and their superstition. They just needed a Big Man. A true Superhuman Leader chosen by God Himself, that with an Iron Will and a Wise Mind slashes the rotting bureaucracy powered by mere humans. Mankind cannot rule itself without the paternal guide of the Primarchs. Horus was right all along.
>>97222222Can't argue with those digits
>>97223404The whole point of the Imperium was that even the most objectively justified fascism results in an absolute shithole of a state and society. Whether you agree or disagree with that view is irrelevant - giving the Imperium a hopeful way forward by leaning in to fascist philosophy is a direct contradiction of the point they've been trying to make for thirty years. It's as stupid as the Tyranids suddenly deciding that they're full.

>>97222276>Go is ass.You need the mentality for it, to control territory.
>>97223126not that anonI used to play go, but it's just slow as hell compared to chess. You don't have 4-10 move checkmate tricks there, or the equivalent of 1 minute bullet games. I used to dislike chess and prefer go instead, because I only knew about classic time controls, until I discovered internet chess.
>>97222309Nice, looks like she waxes sometimes though, it'll disappear eventually. Thanks!
Have you tried Space Gits? It's an unusual skirmish game by Mike Hutchinson (made Gaslands). It seems to be the ultimate casual skirmish that you play while chugging beer.A lot of mechanics are dexterity based, for example instead of losing health or wounds, your fighters add D6's to their dice tower, which has to be moved alongside them (and when it drops over, they drop down). Shooting is also quirky - you roll dice equal to the number of shots and then trace lines between a shooter and each die to see if you hit the target. Landed shots use die's result, so a single roll is made to-hit and to-wound, which I think is neat.I'm going to try it this thursday. My only two complaints so far is that close combat seems bland (its basically rock-paper-scissors) and it's really easy to deny it by spamming shove. My other complaint is that the rulebook's art is atrocious vomit.Everything else checks out though, it even seem to have a basic campaign system.
>>97222132>mindbroken by GW
>>97222076Seems overly gimicky but fun once or twice. Dexterity based games tend to be cute in concept but most of the fat nerds playing them are very bad at it and get weird, and then one guy is very good at it and gets weird. >ultimate xyz>chugging beer makes you sound like marketing.

>>97222132Robot Nipple Twisters is pretty fun, ngl. My favourite part is the granularity of keyword mechanics for nipple dimensions and mecha customization.
>>97222132That’s cause there are so fucking many of them that it’s easier to just make one the way you want than to try to parse through all the existing ones.
