Dreads still serve their purpose as a way for marines to keep fighting as zombies.
The idea of using the frame to empower a still very abled marine isn't that farfetched at all and in fact way easier than hooking a brain to command it.
If the vehicle is destroyed you might still get a full marine still ready to fight.

This makes sense from a military perspective
>Have a powerful vehicle
>But only use it for broken marines when it could be a force muiltiplier used by healthy marines.

>have a powerful and incredibly precious dreadnought chassis
>shove some dead marine in it
>now you have a dreadnought on top of your other marines
The other problem is the removal of a neat grimdark concept, your marines are led to believe it's a great honor to be encased in a dreadnought but the loss of humanity is just horrible. That's also why boxnaughts are superior, they're weird clunky machines without knees or even arms, like the bag of organs piloting it.

It's actually really easy to buy secondhand, jailbroken electronics. There's also literally an ongoing legal between people who bought cybernetic eye implants from a company that went under and the company that bought up their patents and discontinued service on said eye implants.

We're in a cyberpunk dystopia, it's just a gay globohomo slop dystopia instead of a cool neon corpofeudal dystopia

Yeah. But they use it either way due to the fact that it is power that is useful to them.
They have to however conserve their powers and be careful while casting. Even then the curse of stone is still a thing and it simply very slowly affects them.

Horus just came back after being killed, right in the face of the Crimson Turtogas. The controlling player didn't even have time to turn the models towards Horus.

It was utter chaos, the match took 12 hours.

Goodstuff mechanics are stuff like cascade/discover (a free spell stapled onto an effect), dungeon/initiative (an increasing bit of value stapled onto an effect), monarch (card draw stapled onto an effect).

Energy is the opposite of goodstuff; it's parasitic. It's not THAT parasitic because all energy cards give you some energy that lets you already do the stuff you want to do with them, meaning on their own they're just normal spells or stuff with charge counters on them, but also reward you for playing a critical mass of energy spells. Some parasitism is standard for this game; it's what we call synergy. All tribal mechanics are parasitic. Reach is parasitic.

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, HeroClix,
Kings of War, Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, SAGA, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sludge, Urban War, Void,
Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...

What wargames do you prefer then? I'm in the rules-light model-agnostic camp, so the rampant games are good enough for me. I feel like they offer a decent mix of command friction, differentiation between units and meaningful decisions to keep me playing them.

What is the correct way to handle female priestess? Historically women weren't part of the clergy, so you don't have a lot of references to drawn from in regards to their attitude.

As a result of this, free beasts are all but extinct in civilized lands. But in wartorn lands all kinds of madness reigns. Additionally it has been noted that this beastly curse mostly infects human and dwarfs. Snakegirls and elves are mostly free of the curse with select noteworthy exceptions.

Beasthunter is a desperate profession, only the most skilled survive for long. Ranged weapons naturally help a lot. They dont have guilds but few schools have emerged over the years.

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.

I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsing


So I started thinking.
For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?

Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?

There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?

What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory?

What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.
