I wish mats weren't so expensive. I just got a resin printer and started pumping out hextech terrain only to realize that the blank hex mat I have only uses 1" hexes where battletech uses 1.25 or 1.3 so they aren't compatible. I also really want to get my hands on scouring sands asap but I've blown my hobby budget majorly for the time being. Guess I'll stick with alpha strike movenent for now and give the papercraft buildings some purpose.

So what's genetic engineering like in the Inner Sphere? I can find some references to 'minor' stuff (some aquatic people, apparently some people get pointed ears like elves etc) but do they push it any further like the clans do?I've been toying with making a merc band one step removed from pirates that are all a bunch of experiments that have managed to escape from their collective bs. Kinda like supermutants from fallout (maybe not as huge elemental scale at maximum, that can pilot mechs which gives me the chance to ork-up the mechs in a bunch of conversions mad max style. The guys I play with will think its a laugh and be okay with it, but I wanted to know how far i'm pushing canon stuff with this. Its mostly just an excuse to do some conversions and do a 'bad guy/evil' force.
>>97345034The star league did it to adapt colonists to certain specific worlds and had some extreme experiments hidden way out in the periphery, but the only faction that might play with it is Canopus, and it's only minor mentions of it for essentially cosmetic reasons to make exotic showgirls/whores for the state sponsored tourism industry. They use cybernetics much more frequently, and that's what would be available anywhere else. Genetic manipulation is not something that will ever be commercially available.
>>97345072>Genetic manipulation is not something that will ever be commercially available.Implying I can't use mountains of cash or violence to get what I want.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?
>>97341563Anon the first famous mentor-mentee relationships in recorded history (Grecian tutoring) famously involved a fuck ton of diddling.>>97341228As they're meant to be. Marines aren't meant to read as the big alpha super warrior men that their initial appearance paints them to be. The setting was made in 90's England, not america.>>97341989This was never about Elves. This was about the deliberate use of fetishes in ttrpg's.40k has ttrpg's and a setting that is suited to taking inspiration from fetishes.Also this is hardly a highbrow thread anyhow.
>>97344493My point stands. Fags fucked up the concept back then (as many a contemporary source will also say), and they've been fucking it up ever since. You still have to be a faggot to look at a male teacher and a male student and choose to conjure mental images of homosex rather than generational skill transfer.You see a horse and think of bestiality.I see a horse and think of cavalry charges and war chariots.We are not the same.
>"this was never about elves">literally an elf in the OP 40k babbies really aren't smart.
>>97345036"Never about elves", lol.
>>97344648No, your point doesn't stand, as it's not historically supported.This isn't you being un-faggy. This is you being revisionist in accordance with your personal beliefs. Which is a higher form of faggotry all of itself.

>>97344848literally tons, what's a more specific question? The worst thing about it is it's core tax is more expensive than you'd like for a unit you want anyway. Also some lost unit selection like no ghorgons
>>97343622I will be ordering this. He will be the leader for my Chaos warband.
>>97344910NTA but what loadout do people run for gors? I understand it used to be extra hand weapons but i don't know if any of the rules erratas have changed that
Got this today for cheap. Pretty cool sprues actually.
>>97345023Literally anything is fine, gors are that much of a solid base.

>>97344363Found this after a while.>Just wasn't sure, the faceclaim seemed older than usualI see, it's understandable. But he's supposed to be just a lanky 18 year old.>Damn, he's like Goku! Not a hero of justice, but if you hurt his friends he decks you in the schnoz. I get itI... really can't deny that, can I? I guess he would be a bit more vindictive than Goku, he just removes the problem, Liren would make sure the culprit suffers for his sins. Abyss is even worse.
>>97343308So I finally got around to reading Wendigo pt.3 and I can only imagine how hard it was to not only give everyone a part in the battle, but also the whole village. The action scenes were frenetic and suspenseful, especially the ending that left it vague and allowed Yaofan anon to write her on perspective in Every Branch. What did you guys think of it when you read it since I wasn't there?On a related note, where do we go from here, and what else can we try out in terms of interaction?
>>97343376So long, goodbye (Mentions of several characters)https://rentry.org/ienop7rk
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
At absolute most, they'll be the flavour-of-the-month for a brief spell, then they'll be forgotten in under a year and people will move on to something else. Nothing has staying power now, everything is ephemeral. Monoculture is dead and people rarely venture outside of their own carefully curated walled gardens for very long.

>>97339727I remember there was an artifact about a radio that caused deaths in the hunter or mage the awakening book. Maybe it was in Witch Finders.>>97344987Afaik aren't the other threads /qst/ games? Also not sure where are the schizos or pol content given that this thread hasn't updated much.
>>97343299I had an idea for a werewolves for a personal setting, and one of the things I decided is werewolves aren't actually wolves. Werebeasts are amalgams of various mammalian predators. Most look sorta wolf-like because when you throw wolves, bears, and hyenas in the mix, they tend to come out somewhat wolf-like. Werelions and such are a result of some people just taking more after lions. They can also kill and steal the form of what they hunt, so there's that too.>>97344237Because Sin-Eaters aren't ghosts.

• What makes it "conceptually boring"? No, "I think it's boring" or other answers revolving around preference aren't valid.• Why should it "be looked at"? Cite examples pointing to an inherent correctness, duty, or obligation to "look at" it. Once again, responses addressing preference aren't valid.• What do you mean by "looked at"?Be detailed and specific.

>>97226240I'm kind of out of the loop because I'm not usually a /tg/ guy, would anyone be so kind as to give me a QRD on what's going on with Gundam Assemble? I saw the announcement ages ago and was kind of interested because I'd like to get into wargaming type stuff but up until now haven't seen any wargames that I like (not interested in GW stuff or historicals). I checked up on it today and it seems maybe I was totally off the mark and it was actually some kind of TCG related thing and not actually a wargame...
>>97340928The models were released in a promo pack with the card game as a teaser. It's still an exclusive game to be played with minis, it just isn't out yet. They just announced it way before release for some reason.

>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/.
