>>97353424the idea was that her spores are powering up your guys. I could have her attach her parts to the opponent to make them weaker. thanks for the feedback
>>97353444I think I'd need to see some other designs to be able to tell you if that one's a good fit for it. I get the concept and I get the rules interaction, but I feel like there's dissonance there. Is breaking zombies up for parts common? If it isn't I guess I can see what you're going for.
>>97353460Zombies losing parts to activate an effect is very common.
>>97353460Also, for future reference, I think I should go the bottom up route from now on, figure out the effect before the art/concept
>>97353466Okay, so the "infestation" part is an army wide buff? I dunno, I just think of something more as a debuff rather than a buff. If you want to keep the effect and design a different zombo, you could make this the opposite effect targeting unfriendly zombs
Could it work in a /tg/ context? Say you used the Damaging Objects rules from the d20 System.

>>97338307A couple years ago my friends and I put together a Kill Team Campaign all based around Vraks. As the resident Alpha Legion fanboy I took the role of The Faithless, the Alpha warband involved in the conflict.Although I had to sell them during a move, they hold a really special place in my heart, in part for being what I bet will be the last time I get to use bits from the old Chaos Marines box since they're out of production.TQs:>What our /your dudes/ bad atMy guys gained a reputation for having heinous bad luck streaks, notably one where a distraction grot managed to survive an ungodly number of attacks all from the same Legionnaire. This evolved in our shared lore to the Kill Team having a 'blessing' from Tzeentch that was sort of like one of those really awful JoJo stands that just make your life suck or kill you.>When was the last time they touched a tableThat I can confirm? 2023. But I'm hopeful someone is still playing with them out there after I sold them to my LGS.>What do you plan to do with them in the new year?Miss them, mostly. But I'm hopeful that I can start hobbying again by the end of the year, in which case maybe I can kitbash up some successors.

>>97353454>cont.Now I figure this is probably because a very minor Eldar craftworld, who I also need to invent, consulted their own future-telling folks, and decided "It's important that we go on this heading to prevent some form of unknown and unnamed disaster." This heading conveniently intercepted the Adamant Sons' (name pending) and they had a grand old firefight amidst a gathering warp storm. Aforementioned Heroic Action snapped the spine of the craftworld, which let out a bunch of souls or something similarly warpy, supercharging the storm and casting all ships involved into the depths of unreality.Then they got shat out in scattered, slapdash fashion in a doldrums system which just so happened to have a gas giant (what I rolled up for their homeworld) with a gigantic orbital belt of highly advanced DAOT orbital manufactorums (representing the shitload of archaeotech I rolled)... and the orks, who had also been shat out in said doldrums, and were burning hard for the shiny new gubbins.Now the threat that both divinations had seen became clear. If these orks were permitted to secure the system, it would become the industrial hub of a brand new Ullanor - and nobody wants a second War of the Beast. So the Adamant Sons (name pending) have been fighting said orks for control of the system ever since.

What would be a good game for a oneshot inspired by The Mist?
>>97352257yeah it's really pretty pathetic
>>97352307Its been a while since Ive read the handlers guide, but didn't the destruction of MJ12 fuck their mass surveillance capabilities?
>>97352374All Flesh Must Be Eaten. the real answer is just about any horror game you can run with humans that is relatively lethal would work for the mist. I'm just throwing out one that doesn't get as much love. But Call of Cthulhu or Fear Itself or, hell, even baseline WoD would probably work just as well.
>>97353289I sometimes skim the HG, I remember the ayytech shut off right after the MiGo got scared and fucked off, and most MJ12 tech was based off that, but Observer Effect contradicts that pretty blatantly. If MJ12's mass-surveillance tech was partially in-house and not just them entirely relying on the greys' Report, they may have their own version of PRISM that was running on the same shit as what was in Observer Effect that the Program has themselves now, and March might have a knockoff ofEven if they don't have a greytech PRISM serverfarm running, the KIY part of the setting mentions "subroutines" running on automated USG servers on DG's authority to watch the internet and USG intranets for signs of Yellow, and GT directly states Conradin's network got flagged internally by similar shit in the 00's after DG pushed their own tracking-software into Patriot Act systems
Are interspecies pairings allowed in your game?
>>97348675Nigga they coulda just had them have hollow bones like birds and other dinosaurs or had pandora be a low-grav world.Or do like, literally nothing. They're not particularly big as far as an animal goes as to require sci-fi explanations for their size.
>>97332011Yes they're allowed. Somehow 3/4 of my players are women and it just got pervier and pervier. One is playing a half hellhound, dating the one guy among my players, as yet uncertain if he wants that cookie; another is aiming to get railed by every sentient species she can, and the last wants to use her womb as a cauldron of slime and tentacle based alchemy.
>>97340912This is a cute doodle. Who's the artist?
>>97338793>hottestAnon, she looks like a fucking stick bug.
>>97353365Take it back. She is the most beautiful and evocative character in any movie for over a decade. Conquistadors dreamed of taking women like this for wives.

>/pol/ and people taking blatant baitI've been taking a break from 4chan for a good while. When did /hwg/ fall this far?
>>97303547I play both extensively despite being their biggest haters but thats just because I want them to be better games.Flames V4 just released late-war point balancing and its made the game so much better because soviets and british used to suck dick and germany had too many cheese spam lists but now the game is relatively balanced and anything you find too cheesy you can easily houserule. Its not historical but it is a fun casual game for balanced forces just duking it out compared to some other historicals which are more historical sim than game.>>97335345Team yankee used to be my go to game but like >>97340160 said the game is basically just a NATO jerk off simulator while PACT players are basically just hordes of mooks for NATO to have fun blowing up It gives NATO fucking prototype vehicles from the late 90s despite being set in 1985 While PACT is stuck choosing what flavor of period accurate shit tank to spam.Generally compared to NATO, PACT units have dogshit stats and are hit on 3 instead of 4 but they make up for this by having 2-4x the numbers and usually better morale but even so NATO units are just so cost effective that even their spam lists of shit NATO units are better than PACTs so PACT can't even really do hordes as good as NATO.Point "balancing" came out for team yankee and it nerfed some PACT spam lists like mass Hinds and gave meager point drops to T-72s and T-80s dropping them by 1 measly point each. Then the balancing massively cut points for NATOs prototype shit by like 30% with the M1A1 going from like 18 points to 12 FYI the M1A1s front armor cannot be penetrated by anything in PACTS entire arsenal outside of aircraft missiles and has the highest armor penetration gun of any tank in game.
>>97353410Are infantry heavy forces in v4 any good? My biggest gripe with flames of war was how it tended towards parking lots

>>97353267NTA but world map doesn't always literally mean a map of the entire world. If you're setting a game in one country then mapping out all the important settlements and geographical features (like mountains, forests, and lakes that could be adventure locations) is making a world map. It's good to at least be able to give the players a reference of what's nearby/what exists around them unless you're sticking entirely to a city or a small island or something similarly confined.
>>97352852DnD is in no way "generic". I think you mean setting agnostic. GURPS and Cypher are generic because they can be any genre. DnD is only fantasy, arguably only superhero high-magic fantasy. You'd need to take a blowtorch to it to make it sword and sorcery, let alone sci fi or contemporary
>>97353372Anon, "generic" as a term refers to being nonspecific WITHIN A GENRE. Hence the shared root.
>>97353236>>97353270Thanks, I'll probably start doing that in the meantime too, thanks a lot. I appreciate it, o7>>97353261Just how a general view of making a character and if I'm on the right track kinda or whatever....I dunno... Aieee. It's not like I made in an "anime" style on purpose more so I just can't draw for fucking shit. I feel more comfortable in the character itself though just from some slight feedback here. I don't know much about the series either, so I'm just asking stuff...that's why I apologized in my original post for it being a retarded post. I think with the tone of the campaign the guy is setting up though I don't imagine it'll be very lighthearted so there's probably less chances for the character to be irritating. And it's not like the others are into rping.
>>97352940they could spend quite a while just getting out of the city during the big battle/invasion. could be a good in media res type start.
Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses. Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.

i know it didn't invent the concept of monsters, but these REALLY look like Pokémon...
>>97353251In-universe, Funkle.
>>97353336To be a bit fair, the earliest incarnation of Mortasheen was developed as Necromon during the original Pokeclone waves.That being said, anon I think you need to branch out a bit in your tastes because they really...don't.

>>97353345it takes a week to cure? i just primed over some sanded goo after a day :/
>>97353330I agree if we're talking about like those discord posters from a thread or two ago that literally can't paint inside the lines but I like to imagine that that isn't hugely endemic to the mini painting community. I like to think we're generally better than that, at least this thread is, maybe not the rest of the hobby. But I think that would still fall under what I mean by 'pretty quick to learn'. Not all of them, but a lot of GW models now are so detailed (admech CMS, any AOS stuff) that as long as you can paint in the lines you can get a pretty decent result, but that is like step 1 of learning to paint minis and I don't think people really ignore it that often. Though I can fall back on arguing that if there are people who ignore simply painting inside the lines then I don't consider them full human people in the way that I am.
>>97353392NTA, spue goo can take a long time to dry but only if it's thick, small patch jobs can dry pretty quickly and full hardness after like a day. It's true that bigger gap fills can take a while to dry and stop being squishy though.
No, I'm not avoiding doing the bases. Shut up.
>>97353436Why do the bases look like a funny sandwhich?I mean the alternating bevel on the edge of the two.
