your paint is slopped on which makes everything look messy. work on applying thinner layers. at the same time your yellow looks like it has poor coverage. try painting light colors like white and yellow first instead of over top of darker ones. all of the metal parts just look gray. try getting some metallic paints.

also lmao

I think the two most important factors are being clean and attention to detail. by being clean I'm talking about execution, not literally looking clean. paint should be smoothly applied without visible brush strokes, color spillover should be avoided, and of course mold lines should be removed and gaps should be filled. by attention to detail I mean giving consideration to each part of the model. look at all the parts and doodads on it and think about whether they're supposed to be metal or cloth or wood or glass and if they're supposed to be painted or naturally colored. for example when a model has a belt with grenades on it, painting the belt and grenades different colors looks way better than just going over them in the primary color. another example is painting all of the little gems on eldar models instead of deciding that they're just lumps and painting over them with the armor.

if you can excel at these two aspects even an extremely simple paint job will look technically impressive.

Delta Green is constantly running Person of Interest tier mass-surveillance programs under the PATRIOT act and systems based on PRISM, and the only things I've seen for official scenarios related to that part of GWOT were God's Teeth and a fanmade shotgun scenario.
Is Nyarly really around anymore if DG isn't constantly dispatching killteams to chase down anybody with a speech pattern replicating Alziz's? Why haven't we seen any homegrown terror attack threats in DG like Pulse Nightclub or San Bernandino, if we're seeing unnat-incel shooters and have fuckin Iconoclasts?

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.

I've been here much longer than you have and that will still be true no matter how much you cry and whine just because I won't show you my models.

You can start a conversation about Fyreslayer Lore, or gameplay, or even painting tips and get lots of organic discussion from me and several other regulars.

No one ever claims that Fyreslayers are super popular, only that they're not as hated as they are made out to be by retards like yourself, which is true.

I don't hate them, I just don't think very many people like them, and this thread, and even yourself has proven that. I don't need to shit on them because most people don't care for them. I don't really care if you've been here longer(do you get a little badge to sew on your campfire blanket or your girl scout hat?) And I'm not particularly concerned that you have no models, I just think it's funny how defensive people are the moment you mention fureslayers being unpopular and yet every single time it's brought up, no models can be posted. I'm allowed to dislike an army, I'm not a retard for having differing tastes to you, but unlike you I'm actually willing to show I care enough about the things I like to go out and buy them. You can stomp your feet that I posted models, but I'm not upset that you didn't post yours, you just kinda did what I thought you'd do which only really hurts your point lmao

>>97353250
If somebody's only counterpoint is

The new slimmed down models actually look like decent fantasy paladins and are entirely serviceable, with some even possessing hints of SOVL, so there's not much to write home about. Thankfully the era of those embarrassing sigmarine monstrosities is long over.

I also only started DND this winter, I would say spend a few hours, get yourself a nice cup of tea, and have a good read of the players handbook section on combat, don't worry too much about things like light or cover, but get a good written down list of all of the main actions you can do

Remember that on your combat turn you have 1 main action, 1 bonus action and movement, and that's it. (Also a reaction but that might not be something your character does much of) Also try to think about what you want to do on your turn while everyone else is doing theirs, so when your moment comes, you can really punch out a good turn - it's something everyone should do and just helps speed things up

>>97353188
someone like the blacksmith, or someone from the town, hiring them for a job is a good way to keep them together for the short term, while you work to build connections between their backstories for the long term.

>>97353192
I'm not even sure what you're asking. Nobody here can really critique the look, background, or personality of your character because its success depends on the other players' sensibilities. Personally I'd find the character annoying both from personality and aesthetic, but the other players might enjoy the anime style and find the socially awkward stuff funny or charming.
If you had a mechanics question or suggestion request then that's different, but asking /tg/ to assuage your concerns over subjective character elements seems fruitless

>>97353188
>World-map making advice
Don't. That's my advice for any new DM. You've already got a capital and a town. Worry about this country, and then maybe whatever neighboring country they're at war with, but don't start mapping out continents on the other side of the globe yet. You're just gonna bog yourself down for no gain.
>Lore-building advice
Again, focus on the basics. Things the players are likely to ask. What's the city they came from? Who is in charge? Who are their allies? Who would have reason to attack that city?
This doesn't need to be some in-depth family tree of nobles either. It can just be as simple as there being some Duke in the city, whose cousin is the King, and the ones responsible are a neighboring kingdom, who are upset over the results of a previous war.
>Ideas or advice for a larger plot for them to follow, or ways to seed one
If you want something a bit more structured since you're starting out, I'd just flip through the monster manual until you find something cool with a high CR, and then either have that monster be the one behind everything, or have it be a wizard who is trying to summon/control that monster.
That gives you a clear end goal, and allows you to foreshadow that.
>reasons for the players to stay in a group
Being hired by the blacksmith as an escort to his home is probably the simplest, but it does result in the destroyed city being further away.
What might work a bit better is if the blacksmith came from the dwarven stronghold with a gift for the king, and therefore delivering that secures some sort of alliance and also puts the PCs in the midst of various war efforts. Just be sure it's not so valuable the players will immediately steal it.

>but i don't believe for a second THIS guy was Just Like Me(TM) at the time.

FUCKING THIS!
I've watched a bunch of clips of him "nerding out" and am yet to actually see him "nerd out". Everything he's done or said in relation to 40k feels so shallow and artificial, like he has nothing more then surface knowledge of it.
Like the group interview where they mention 40k and someone says that they're starting a Necron army and he obviously recognises the word "Necron" as being related to 40k, but doesn't go any further then that. He doesn't ask the guy about his army/planned army or anything. Just goes "Oh, yes Necrons. Good..."

And then I compare that to someone like Vin Diesel. There's an interview he did with IGN (I think) where they were asking the cast of one of the Fast and Furious movies what video games they played/were playing. All the girls said shit like angry birds and fruit ninja, the guys were like Fifa and sports games, Paul Walker said COD and Vin started talking about WoW and whether or not there would ever be another MMORPG that would reach the same level as WoW, while obviously trying to hold back from nerding out any more.

>>97346339
fallout is a great setting but amazon studios seems to keep hiring writers who do not understand why fans enjoy the games and cannot write within the confines of established lore to save their lives
LotR/wheel of time are both bigger sins in my eyes, but all of them have the same fault at their core which is writers that do not understand or care about portraying the setting/lore in an authentic way

>>97344553
nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition.

I think the same writers simply change shows every season.

I watched Twsited Metal aftyer seeing some Sweet Tooth shorts, and I liked the humour. Holy shit season 1 start decent, but falls in ep4, then ep 6-7-8-9 are enclosed episodes, where the main characters spend most of their time saying 'sorry, mandatory sex scene, and a complete lack of in-universe logic , but at long as women are badass and men as wimps, it keeps getting made.
Fallout series is the same, just more crap across the board.
Whatver W40K series is made will be the same, the Imperium is bad and all that shit, yet we'll follow Imperials possibly with stereotypical Commissars and other shit. If they go 30k, then it'll be some cheap attempts at grand space opera which will fall flat due to the writers not knowing shit and not being smart.

>>97350282
I've never been able to find a system with space combat I like, so I'm thinking about a sci-fi setting where "space is boring" i.e. all the adventures happen on planets/at human scale.
Aside from "space war is all computers, you either have the capability to punch through enemy pickets or instantly die when you try" is there anything else I could do to help establish this sort of convention?

On the subject of Traveller, how do (you) feel about ansibles?
Do you prefer your settings having inconvenient (ie. "slow") communication? Or instant transfer of information regardless of distance?

I've had an idea for a more space oriented cyberpunk game brewing for a while, though I'm reminded now that 2300 exists and while I'm not super familiar with traveller that also seems like an option. So what is trav like?

>>97352667
I definitely prefer the thought of a information network time gated by jump mechanics. It can create some very interesting scenarios, and it can give players an actual sort of soft currency of exchanging news when they hit out of the way spots that aren't on the major trade paths

I've been interested in running Stars Without Number in a space frontier like Star Trek TOS

>>97350281
While Exalted has always to a degree sold itself as a power fantasy, it's definitely also the case that some fans tend to wildly exaggerate the degree to which it's supposed to be a powerfantasy. As for Deathlords and Yozis co-operating in regards to the Jade Prison, they had common interests in this one specific regard. It's not like they have any kind of a long-term alliance going on.

>>97350492
Why should Exaltations be something different than what they have since 1E been written to be, anon?

>>97352283
>, just kidding you just got a green lantern ring Conky carelessly threw around
That's not how Exaltation is presented in any edition, though. Exaltations are wondrous things of awesome power. Getting one is not reincarnation, but it means that you're a continuation of the legacy of heroes from bygone eras. Exaltations are also, while wondrous things, actually things, and they can, with great effort and difficulty, be locked away. There's nothing really dissonant or inconsistent about any of this.
