I know for sure the Longwang is unicool. Not sure about the Wrecker, while the Marut is siocast.
In general unicool sculpts are perfect; siocast can be a bit hit-and-miss, but I've never really heard about any complaints for those two.

>>97347600
The Wrecker is Unicool, I think the switch was somewhere between the Stigmata and Wrecker.

>>97347698
>>97347600
I was painting Unicool minis (from Eldfall Chronicles) before and I had very positive experience but out of Siocast minis from Infinity, I had rather mediocre experience (that Torchlight guy from their pack had literally melted main gun, O-12 mulebots were okay but problematic to clean from mold lines while Squalo II only had problem with removing nub from the head, otherwise he was very nice). Hence my question, since Marut is one of first that started to be sold in Siocast. YT video's suggest it's okay but wanted to hear opinions first. I need somebody to proxy as Seraph since the guy in question is very expensive in my local shops or out of stock otherwise.

I really want to get into infinity, there is a local scene that's super friendly. First off, fuck their website. Holy shit. Months ago it would stop the registration process half way through and refresh to a new page. Now, I finally made an account. Account not found... Ijust want to order that sweet looking zond for my space anarchist nuns.
Secondly, I've been struggling with the leader unit I got the tournament special kusanagi or some such, but I also have the Bakunin action pack all painted. Would that, and some D20s be enough to just go to the store and play? Or do I need the leader and the zond to bring it up to 100 points, like 98 or something but you know.

"Normal" game size is 300. Bakunin Observance action has some 250, but wysiwyg it would mean you have 7.5 SWC. Lucky for you we're friendly to proxies, so lets add Kusanagi lieutenant and downgrade multi sniper moira to multi rifle specialist. That leaves us with 10 models and somewhat awkward ~285 points depending what exact loadouts you take. We could proxy Orphan and some gubbin as Zoe and Piwell(sync) and that would take us into exactly 300 points and 6.5 SWC, but then we would not have anyone to complete Haris link with Penitent and one of the Cenobites, as seems to be the intended route. We could use Specialist Multi Rifle Moira as third wheel and put one of the Cenobites with Reverend core link with Kusanagi and rest of the Moiras. That would still leave the Haris fireteam with the Special Dice bonus.

Another matter is how good of a beginner army this is. 10 orders isn't that much especially when you're still learning and the list lacks some staples like inflitrators. Moiras are pretty squishy if your enemy hard counters them with Visors or template weapons. So ask your opponent to not go full tournament mode.

I have a friend who gets very frustrated when playing any elven, or agility/passing team, because he tries to play them like a bashing team in blood bowl. No screening, he will move players right next to a bigger guy or ball carrier, etc. How do I break him out of this habit? He gets frustrated over it.

Also what would you pick for the underworld big guy? Rat ogre or troll? I vote for troll just to throw goblins at people.

The most recent box came with a campaign structure about exploring a necron tomb world, so I was thinking I'd take that and inject the same freeform lore writing that I used to help the campaign I played back just before KT18 released to make it feel more immersive. Any details beyond that are still undecided though, including who in my local community I can get on board with it, considering I'm in the process of painting the whole terrain set AND starting up two roleplaying campaigns at the moment.

>>97348039
Ask him why he's basing so much, what does he hope to gain out of it? Show him what screening is and explain how limiting the punches he receives as a lighter armoured team to just the 1 blitz is vital to his teams' survival.

I know about as much as you anon, but I think the problem is that their is too much intersection. The helmet is too "inside" the body. Personally, I dont know why your using boolean union, when the combine function does basically the same thing. Pretty sure the only real difference matters is if you plan on hollowing the thing (Which on a model this small(assuming its 28/32mm) you shouldnt plan on doing anyway)

>tldr resin is good for visual pieces, fdm is good for functional pieces

Which one is more ideal for making bases? I imagine someone would want a nice finish but also some measure of resilience. Then again, someone could also just buy plastic bases in bulk.

>>97347887
fdm for plain bases. but you can get base toppers that have fine details that are best printed in resin

>>97345710
A boolean would be the proper way to do it; Combine just acts like the Group function in a paint program, say (freezes the part positions, but leaves any mesh intersections in place). You could potentially end up with voids just using Combine without fixing the model in post (Windows 3d builder works remarkably well).

Time for the "You are playing it wrong" post
Inspired by the post at >>97340961

Only roll when failing has an impact on the characters, even if its just taking up time or using resources. If failing doesn't mean anything, use the Auto Success mechanic as a basic threshold (or assume eventually rolling a 20 over 20 checks).

When exploring in dungeons or the wilderness, remember that travel speed matters. Exploration rounds take 1 minute each and you move at 10 times your speed per round. If you are travelling at a fast speed you move one third more but take -5 on your Perception checks. If you are travelling at a slow pace it is at two thirds normal pace but this lets you roll stealth (yes two thirds, not half speed).

Every action taken in Exploration takes one minute, that includes picking the lock, looking in one 10 foot square, or trying to break down the door.

When making Skill checks during Exploration, you are expected to keep the same check unless circumstances change. This include stealth and tracking. Stealth is made against the PASSIVE perception check of anyone that may see them, and failing that means they are on alert, they dont know you are there until they actively look. Roll another Stealth check against their ACTIVE check. Also Passive Perception is a floor, if you roll lower than this you use passive as your active result. This is confirmed as intended.

Darkvision makes things black and white and Dim Light. Dim Light gives disadvantage on perception checks, giving you -5 on your passive check. Similarly Advantage gives +5.

Long Rests give back half of your total Hit Dice, not all of them. Short Rest Hit Dice spending lets you spend one at a time. Yes, an hour of attempted Long Rest counts as a Short Rest.

Continued

Social Rolls are not mind control and have a very clearly defined chart. The DC is determined by their attitude and what you are asking them to give up in exchange. Buying their favour or saying something particularly persuasive in line with their goals (they want diplomacy, you offer peace for instance) can temporarily increase the attitude, conversely saying something offensive will lower the atiitude. Attitude also impacts the most they will be willing to risk in helping you.

A Long Rest consists of 2 hours of Light Activity and up to just under an hour of Strenuous Activity (Walking fighting and casting a spell). You can have these split through out your 8 hour rest period, so yes this means during your long rest you can cast spells but if your total exertion time is over 1 hour, or 2 hours for light activity, you must start again.

A natural 20 and natural 1 does impact Skill rolls. If a check would succeed and you roll a 20, it is a greater success than normal. Failing and rolling a 1 gives a worse result. You may also opt for a success with a cost on checks that fail by 1 or 2 points.

Mob mechanics exist for swarms of small guys and mooks. Read them.

Creatures count as cover for ranged attacks.

The Difficulty chart goes from 5 to 30. RAW 30 is the highest difficulty any check that isn't opposed can be.

Reading through this book, there are a lot of neat ideas to make domains individually more interesting. It's a shame they came up with some cool stuff and never thought to throw them into the pot and make bring them forward.

>Slayers D20 System
DL'd this through reddit, and HOLY SHIT this kind of system is almost exactly what I've always wanted D&D magic to be. I haven't read all of the spell descriptions, but even skimming a few pages suggest there are a lot of overlapping blasting spells? I haven't seen the anime, so I can't judge how well that mimicks the world of "Slayers", but it's always been the kind of aesthetic I wanted to see in D&D magical combat.
(Every charop board and discussion I've ever seen says "blasting is literally the worst kind of magic, playing a [magic user] who isn't starting every combat by turning into a grizzly-bear or Always Targeting Will Saves is wasting everyone's time". Dammit, I WANT the 'magical artillery' playstyle to be viable and fun!)

>>97314839
>Same as they are now. A lot of spells are way better than [they] should be.
A DM has the right (some might even call it an obligation) to take a chainsaw to content that doesn't fit their setting or campaign. Polymorph spells are a gamebreaker? Declare that the 'rules of magic' in the setting just don't work that way. Mind-control magic can't be used to bypass entire plots if it doesn't exist (except in hostile hands as a plot device).
Hell, it might be worth it just for cutting down on the 'magic-user analysis paralysis' that >>97308348 mentions.

I'm sorry anon, but I don't understand what you're saying in this post. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

Are we in agreement that the Nation of Islam was founded by a muslim who was born in the islamic world, and decided to create his own islamic cult in america. Is your honest opinion then that there's no relation between islam and the Nation, and if so, how do you figure?

as long as she doesn't top and doesn't bite TOO hard, probably yeah

>>97347844
Hello? Anon? >>97347862

>>97347862
The islamic cult is too far distanced from Islam to still be considered Islamic instead of its own new thing. You don't consider Islam an offshoot of Christianty because it continues the myth of Jesus, do you?

>>97347965
Would I claim there's no relation between Christianity and Islam?
Uh, no, I definitely wouldn't. I don't think you would either anon, I think you're just arguing out of stubbornness by now.

I'd say there's a pretty strong relation, in fact a direct throughline from Christianity to Islam actually.
And I don't really think it's technically wrong to call Islam an offshoot of Christianity or a Christian heresy, it pretty much literally was. Offshoot sounds a bit belittling though, considering Islam is its own huge religion.

i am a stupid person who does not live in America. this began (i think?) with a Twitter user posting a screenshot about how orcs are 'violent savages' and 'take over' places, or some shit. the Twitter guy was vague, just 'um, that's problematic.'

i thought that was about Muslims. the whole Sharia idea. turns out it was actually an 'African American' stereotype. my generally Noam-Chomsky-ish friend told me this and we had a laugh about it, he changed his mind and agreed yeah it's stupid. let's keep using orcs in our games.

the real-time cooldown of the PlayStation games wouldn't translate well to a tabletop game.

the Game Boy Color game is a surprisingly fun little RPG (very questionable character portrait sprites aside), sort of a Final Fantasy x Pokemon thing. it uses a standard MP/mana system.

points-based casting could work. spells in Harry Potter require learning and some level of concentration. i don't know if they're literally infinite (flipendo, flipendo, flipendo!) but for the sake of a game you could say "your Concentration Levels and Magical Energy are low. roll a d100 against Concentration. add your Magical Studies bonus, since this is one of your most-practised spells".

>Ftms get voice changes and body hair for free, MTFs have to train it and get laser. Arguably T is easy mode

It's literally one of the most popular kind of steroids. And going bald isn't a major risk factor unless you don't use any aromatase support (plenty of people going on t for the first time don't think to, or can't, because t is illegal and they might not have a source for a second illegal drug).
