If you feel you're not currently good enough to do what you want to make justice, hold off on it. Try kitbashing something without using your valuable bits to learn how to do it without fucking up. If you've done kitbashes before or are just a fairly experienced hobbyist at this point, shut up and just do it. You probably have the skill for it but you're paralyzed by choice or fear.

>>97273365
use em, even your premium bits. The bits that could be models in their own right. otherwise there will literally never be a better time. I'm probably never gonna make two models that could use a particular cool bit so do it the first time. And only save it if you have a serious idea.

It's hard to make the distinction between what you and what you need. Besides, if you feel powerless in real life, of course you'd think being the über STRONGEST will bring you contentment.

>implying that if you have power an happy life would not be infinitely more easier to achieve

why do retards think that having power automatically makes you unhappy? and why do they think being weak will give them a fulfilling or happy life?

>>97273773
the problem is they seem to think if they have the power or the protagonistship or whatever that theyll automatically be happy and wont have to do anything else, when its actually fairly common for a protagonist to be fuckin miserable for various reasons, and also that the more power you have the more lonely you can end up feeling and whatnot, theres a reason theres so many stories of powerful people pretending to be ordinary people to get a life that makes them happy, is power nice, yes yes it is, can it make your life easier, yes, can it help you to achieve what you want to achieve, yes it can, does power alone make you instantly happy, not really no, unless youre a psychopath or smth who derives pleasure from enslaving and raping people or just generally having power over the lives and wellbeing of others

Most of your post was about anime, that's why that anon said that most japanese terminology is rounded down to "demon"
That's why you get stuff like
>He's the greatest magician and thus they called him The Demon Lord
when the original is "Great Mage"
>This town accepts demons like elves and dwarves
when the original is "magical people"
>Odin/Thor/Krishna/angels being called demons in MegaTen
when the original is "mystical beings"
This mistranslation comes from the original Dragon Quest which was very poorly translated but still became the go to reference for people wanting to translate terminology that first popped up there.

Nothing in anime should be considered the same as we understand as demons unless they go to a christian hell, which happens some times.

I'm still waiting for you to answer the question, how is one role that takes maybe 30 seconds to resolve, somehow a negative aspect for you?

>>97272671
NTA, but it doesn't quite take 30 seconds to resolve, since a chart like that requires it to be looked up because it's so poorly constructed and organized, and then the "unique" (minor variations of the same few) affliction has to be written down and any contradictions (such as from previous afflictions) have to be resolved/ignored/figured out, and all for something as incredibly unwanted as a permanent debilitation that predominantly takes the form of an aesthetic modification and an annoying mechanical nuisance.
You probably have not played enough games with real people to know that things like Crit Charts/Scar Tables/Permanent Wounds/etc. fall into that wonderful category of "Things a bad GM might like but most players hate", but even assuming the entire group actually enjoyed those sort of things, this particular execution is pretty awful because the majority of the rolls are poorly written/conceived dud results.
I understand you're pretty much a hopeless retard and you won't be able to understand anything I've explained to you, but that's kind of why you're stuck trying to promote a game only a hopeless retard would ever think is good.

>>97273237
You're wrong. It takes thirty seconds or less.
>Character goes down

50-body Militia Troop with Warrior Elite and an Auxilia Vexilla

if it all goes wrong you lose next to no VP because of Expendable (3), but if it goes right you take Diane out of the unit and run them into the enemy lines, between enemy units

they're going to run away sooner or later but they'll be using the same routes that the other guy needs to take so they gum up his tank treads

in the meantime you spam your shitty rifles, charge them if you have to but remember you need to take 25 casualties in the first round to even think about running away

nobody will be expecting it, so you must do it

>>97273633
Cataphractii are inappropriate for siege operation

>>97273710
Anon you lose the benefits of expendable if a non expendable model joins.

>>97273710
I really hope I'm missing something here, anon. Because keeping Dynat in the unit cancels Expendable, and separating him from the unit just offers your enemy a High Command unit next to them, unsupported and who can't charge yet. Smoke & Mirrors no longer extricate a unit.
Not to mention infantry do not hinder vehicle movement; only if they were a line 10" deep and like 7" wide.
That's some coyote ahh Dynat smuggling 50 milixicans next to the border lmao

Nobody is forcing you to cast Smite as a Paladin.
And likewise, it's not hard to homebrew 'Eldritch Knight but with the Cleric spell list'

>>97273570
no, but you do lose access to your second (and third) extra attacks which are infinite and dont consume spell slots, which are for buffies and for healies. as for the homebrew, i dont think it is either, but that requires getting my DM on board with it. (good luck, me)

no one alive today in the US was ever a slave and it was a historical reality and it was a historical reality (that exists even now) that basically every culture ever practiced slavery until the industrial revolution made them slavery less lucrative and the bongs did that massive banking scam over ending slavery where all the slavers got paid way more than their slaves were worth

How many level 3+ monsters do y'all actually hunt? I'm realizing this is the first time I've ever actually hunted a level 3 screaming antelope, and I can't thinking of any others I actually hunted other than sunstalker, dragon king, and DBK.

>>97272594
I usually exclusively start hunting lv.3s at around LY 15+

Until then I baby mode and hunt lvl 1s. I usually find hunting Lv 2s to not be worth the risk/reward

>>97272155
Not an answer people here might like but try the facebook group or the unofficial discord.

>>97269313
Our group loves to mix and match their own survivors to paint with the entirity of core, gce, and almost all the expansion survivor bits. We always start with the founding survivor minis and then move to our 'actual' survivors once we gear up a bit (currently all using 10 uear survivors, but i got the 15 year box im waiting to give out as Xmas gifts our next game). Though if I do black knight, I should probably do the squiers.
Speaking of: is the 5 year campaign as difficult as they say? I kind of want to do all the knights for lore purposes but ny group is still pretty new to the game (only a couple core campaigns with expansions sprinkled in).

>>97272992
How do you know you're ready? I usually replace hunting level 1s with twos once I have dash and surge, and have at least one survivor with 5 armor all around and a shield, but I don't know the right metric for the level 3s other than "ran out of stuff to make"

I’m working on a horror scenario, care to help out with suggestions?

The Premise: the player characters are all "test subjects" (probably former military, ex-cops, criminals, lone drifters and such) that were kidnapped or otherwise imprisoned by a sinister conspiracy of unknown nature or goals. They participate in "experiments" to "stress test" the conspiracy's "projects." Present day real world setting, on the surface.

Any ideas for monsters, unnatural tech, twists, set pieces, testing grounds and scares?

The experiments are to test the limits of how much the "reality" of the world can be fucked with before people notice too hard.

It starts as a slow creep before the overt stuff happens and everything is thematic to the situation.

butt fuck nowhere USA with perfect white bread american ideal townsfolk? They are all secretly monsters pretending and the uncanny valley ramps up until they mask off.

Random inner city USA? The faceless masses of people will randomly become monsters that hunt you down but non one else notices what's going on or your own presence even as they are attacked in the process.

Typical desert village except you have to hide from some super giant monster that randomly spits out smaller monsters.

Basically, boxed in experiences where the situation decays and forces the PCs to survive as long as possible fore they move on to the next box.

C3 only impacts the effects of being at medium or long range. Minimum range and altered damage based on range are calculated as being from the shooter.

>>97273373
impacts the default effects, that is.

In ideal circumstances, your sniper is ignoring armour about 1/3rd of the time. This is wildly unreliable. Remember, New Antioch is a CQC faction, so the bulk of your faction's damage is going to be done in a 1-2 round period - if you need AP, then a 1 in 3 chance of ignoring armour is just not available enough.

Instead, you should give the sniper priest an auto rifle or SMG so they can stack blood reliably and kill soft targets quickly. Or you do the based thing and give the priest either 2 pistols and grenades or an autopistol and a pistol, which lets your priest be one of New Antioch's best melee units (since pistols act as clubs that use ranged +dice).

Sniper rifles are for models with middling shooting stats. Going from +4d to +5d on a sniper priest is a joke. Going from +0d to +1d and getting double the short range bracket on a rifle Yeoman is legitimately good.

>>97271734
I know they are at the bottom, found that out when I got btfo'd the first campaign by game 8 out of 11.
My primary issue was that I didn't have enough gunz and modelz to force injuries early on when a jezzail with alch. ammo was at peak performance. I lost the first 2 games badly; in one, both my bull and alchemist were OoA before even INJURING an enemy model. By then, I was so far behind, and other armies so far ahead, that catch up was improbable, and I was forced to use lions and absurd weight of fire to win objectives and force draws. I haven't gotten so fucked over since... well, it's been a long time since I felt genuinely hapless.
My new plan is to maximize my weight of fire advantage early while planning for later acquisitions. I am hoping for 2-3 glorious curbstomps to accrue ducats/glory to hopefully stay one step ahead of the others, and when they do catch up, break even by dint of early success.

>>97272621
Funny thing is the best way to play IS is to build tall with House of Wisdom, take your lumps with a mediocre early campaign. And then pull ahead with the flexibility of weapon stealing and the Homunculi that you can add to as the campaign progresses and are super cheap to revive if they die.
