Rebellions in 40k usually happen on a single world, or within a very limited region, and are often isolated before they can spread.In Star Wars, the rebels are far weaker than the Empire, but because hyperdrives are easy to obtain and relatively safe, they can carry out guerrilla tactics. By contrast, the Imperium in 40k doesn’t have a rebel problem as severe as the Galactic Empire did, because warp travel is terrible and can't really do it without a Navigatorso if the Imperium ever figures out a truly safe form of faster-than-light travel, it would face horrific rebel problems all across the galaxy.

It is probably not too controversial to say that the art of modern rulebooks is made with female representation in mind.These women are predominantly filling important roles, such as archmages, military officers, or nobles.But how come there is barely any art that shows them in peril, or at a clear disadvantage? Regardless of their status.There is no shortage of men in peril.Neither in classic nor in modern art.
>>97348809Do you think intention equals result? lol
>>97348863No. I think you're trying to spin a personal interpretation into a universal truth. Those two things are not equal.

>>97348819Do something like forbidden lands where you can use your endurance to push rolls.Pushing rolls means retrying extra hard but if you fail the negative results are much worse.Mechanically you reroll the check that you pushed. So if you could use both the 3-4 success range that you get from WP would work synergistically which is what you want thematically from what i can understand
>>97348819Ok ok, I think I've got it:>Spending one WP for a physical action allows you to count 3-4 as a success AND roll endurance on top of that. If you get additional successes on your endurance roll, you can use one to either get your WP back or keep them as more successes.Hmm... shit but it adds an additional roll, when WP are supposed to be spent a lot in combat. Shit
>>97348919>Do something like forbidden lands where you can use your endurance to push rolls.>Pushing rolls means retrying extra hard but if you fail the negative results are much worse.I really like the sound of that, but I'm not too sure I understand your last sentence, although yeah you got the synergy right.It's just that part>So if you could use both the 3-4 success range that you get from WP would work synergisticallywhich is don't get
>>97348819>but if you spend one WP you can count a 3-4 on one die as a successyou could make that spending WP lowers the "success range" for each point spentso, if you spend 1 WP dice with results 4+ would succeed, is you spend 2 WP they would succeed with 3+, and so on
>>97348968i mean that if you use your endurance to push a roll it would mean that you get another chance to take advantage of your willpower and convert a 3-4 into a success.So they might not directly interact with one another but using your endurance to push a roll means an extra chance to use your willpower.For example you make a check that requires at least 2 successes. You roll 4d6 and get 1,2,2,5 and you push the roll for a result of 2,3,3,6. This allows you to use your willpower to turn one of the 3s into a success and succeed on the roll
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?

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.
>>97348030The 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.
>>97348039Ask 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.
>>97348025>How do you plan to run the enemy AI?I’m going to devise a priority table like you said; if I’m going with the spyrer’s I’ll likely develop a unique table for each model, but for the palanites they’ll likely all share one. The tables will likely be something like>roll d3>3 = I’d play as if I was the NPC’s and make what I think is the best decision (so if I see a chance to grenade like 4 of my fighters I have to take it)>1-2 = behaves according to a set priority tree that I then act on (making an objective “viable” by killing nearby enemies. If it doesn’t need to do that then it will interact with the objective. If it can’t do that then it will move to the objective safely; if it can’t do that then it will move to the objective in an unsafe way like running in the open or via parkour that isnt retardedly dangerous etc.)>attacking will have its own priority tree too; if any time I’d attack I have to prioritise using the model’s most lethal option, so if a model has a power sword and can charge they’ll use it over their stub gun, if a model has good armour the ai will use whatever has the best ap etc.)Figure adding that extra option for me to take charge will stop instances where I could cheese the NPC’s inadvertently by relying on them to fulfill certain behaviours. With the Spyrer’s I’d likely make it so stuff like the Orrus prefers getting into melee and acts a bit more brazen, whereas the Weld will likely prioritise shooting and staying a set distance from models when possible. If I go with palanites I’ll likely add behaviours like apprehending/capturing enemies and advancing with a teammate to their table over stuff like coup de grace’ing, going for outright kills and advancing blindly to an objective alone
>>97348032Yeah if you don't bridle your guns they might run around and shoot kids all on their own.

>>97348278Dude Saxtonites don't give a shit about the films and will use any excuse to justify their retarded claims>Uhhh we only see one Executor and it was clearly intended to be special to Vader and the EU made it so only a few other existed? Yeah but like... Han says in RotJ that there are other commander ships and he doesn't seem surprised by the Executor so CLEARLY this means the Executor is actually super fucking common and the rest is EU headcanon!>The Home One is stated in various reference books to be a singular ship in the Rebel navy? But like we see other ships in the background that VAGUELY look like it so the Rebellion actually has hundreds of Home Ones and the books are just EU headcanon!>The Death Star II is stated everywhere to be 200km long and it doesn't look big? Yeah but like... in this shot where we see the Endor moon in the background, if we do autistic pixel measurement it's way bigger and one of the ILM dudes said it was like 500x bigger than the first in an interview once! So CLEARLY the 200km stuff is EU headcanon!Irony being most also hate the PT and love Disney. From what I've seen in Fractal's server all his Saxtonite pals eat up Disney+ trash like breakfast.
>>97348311Isn't the canon diameter of DS2 about 5 times that of DS1? It's a bit inconsistent since some sources state it's the same size as the original or twice as big, but IIRC the numbers that show up in most later sourcebooks have it be more than twice the diameter of the original.
>>97348244>At first blush it doesnt sound like a nonsensical claim?From pretty much everything we see in SW media, not just the films themselves but also novels, games, etc., the ISD is consistently presented as a Very Big Ship. It's larger than anything the Rebellion had and while there are a handful of larger ships (the Executor most obviously, plus a few other super star destroyer designs that have shown up in comics or videogames), those are almost always fleet command ships (aka. the story's BBEG's personal ride that's narratively the final boss of the space battle) and you're almost never going to be seeing more than one at a time. So the idea that the ISD would be the equivalent of an escort ship just doesn't hold water.You could make an argument for it being the equivalent of a cruiser (big but not the biggest capital ship, designed to project power and operate independently or with a small support squadron for long periods), with the Executor-class being the battleship, though it probably make more sense to treat the ISD as a battleship and the SSD as a bigger battleship. One is the Schanhorst and the other the Tirpitz, if you will.
>>97348752That’s pretty accurate, I have a copy of the imperial handbook and the book does talk about some fleet formations consisting entirely of a single ISD without any support or escorts. So if I were to describe the “official” role of an ISD, it would be a heavy cruiser (or possibly battlecruiser)-carrier hybrid ship, much like the Venator before it. But the scale difference is due in large part to having slightly different overall objectives, the venator was built to fight battles and win wars, and the ISD was built to bully a largely unarmed civilian population (and satisfy some very insecure military commanders). So with that said, I’d categorize the SSD as: an abomination of engineering. The result of insecure imperial commanders doubling down on their “look as big and intimidating as possible” doctrine when the galaxy stopped buying their crap about how the empire is this “big, scary insurmountable monolithic organization that cannot be beaten” and started openly defying the Galactic Empire.
>>97348244>I guess I see star destroyers more akin to carriers if anything.ISDs correspond most closely to "battlecarriers", hybrids of carriers and battleships that never really got popular, though more like a combination of an amphibious assault ship with a battleship than a normal carrier with a battleship. Its main purpose is to blow away enemy capital ships with its big guns. Its secondary purpose is to land troops and provide them with orbital fire support. Its carrier capability exists to support those two missions (though its fighters often end up doing as lot of the real work because no one wants to engage the ISD itself if they can avoid it). There's nothing quite like it IRL - it's basically a single ship trying to fulfill all the specialized roles of a small fleet by itself.
