>>97352873Those remind me of the models I saw as a kid at a local convention. My grandpa bought them for me and that is when my fascination with Warhammer began. Nicely done, anon
>>97352890I'm a huge plastic banner hater! Regardless, your freehand looks good and will look amazing at tabletop height. I feel like freehand patterns and heraldry only had to be generally the right colors in the right areas for it to look good at tabletop height. Sorta like impressionism, from a distance you know exactly what it's supposed to be even if it doesn't look great when zoomed in with a camera
>>97348594Just setting bite-sized goals and going from there.My LGS hosted a TOW escalation league recently and I was able to sit down and get nearly 2000 points of Lizardmen painted during its run. The only model I didn't paint out of the 2000 point army was my 20 year old Stegadon. The rest were brand new (or newly cut off the sprue) models, including the new Saurus. Though they don't rank up very good.
So, I’ve decided for my Triumph and Treachery event I’m going to setup a snack table for my opponents to enjoy. I did this at the Bay Area Open a few years ago and it was a big hit.Since I’m bringing tomb kings, I want to bring foods that are on theme, aka Egyptian. I’m thinking figs and dates, with honey, sesame crackers, a simple spreadable cheese, bread, and nuts. Does anyone have any ideas on what tomb kings may have eaten that can go on my snack table? In b4 sand.
>>97352996Inshallah, i hope it'll all pull itself together once it starts looking like a coherent unit.

>>97353036I feel like every time this argument someone with no fyreslayer models comes out of the wetwork to tell the thread they're actually really popular and that they're loved by all
>>97353111We have multiple resident Fyreslayer players here, you'd know that if you weren't a tourist.
>>97353135Why are they never around when this discussion is happening. Or ever for that fact.>touristThere is a 100% chance you own no painted fyreslayers if you own any painted models at all. It's not the end of the world to recognize they're unpopular
>>97353156I don't post models here ever but Fyreslayers were one of my first fully painted armies and still one of my biggest. I just painted up a new batch of Hearthguard like a couple months ago, painting Fyreslayers is my comfort food.

>>97326127>>97326600This is what a warhammer looks like IRL, it's not a cartoonish cylinder/brick on a stick which wouldn't even be able to be swung by a human, it's literally a hammer made for war.
>>97350625>>97326600idk guys, if your warhammer can't be confused with a tankard, can you really feel like a man holding one?Besides, the one holding it here is an azer. always on fire and 1 point of fire damage with touch or metal weapons - he can't be holding leather and wood handles.
>>973030823.PF or OSR/adjacent.5e occupies an awkward middleground for me. If I want something streamlined with a bit of character customization for modern sensibilities, I would go lighter than 5e and probably pick Worlds Without Number.If I want more mechanical depth in exchange for prep taking 20-30% longer, I would play 3.PF. It is crunchier, it is tedious getting key numbers pre-computed, but swapping out some feats can provide a lot of tactical variety to enemies. The skills can be a bit tedious and specific, but there are UA variations you can use to simplify.

Thread dedicated to Sci-Fi based discussion. 40k need not apply. [\spoiler]How goes your sci-fi setting, anon? I am currently running a Traveller game in a homebrew setting, and am getting lost in the sauce of stellar physics.
How does Cepheus Universal compare as a sci-fi setting kit against Stars Without Number?
>>97350282I'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?
>>97352667I 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

>>97350405Is it true that you're not allowed to use dice as physical counters? some guy at my locals kept telling me that's illegal at regionals and YCS
>>97352437you must represent counters as multiple individual objects, you cannot use dice to represent multiple counters, and you can only use notes for reminders
I love master duel's solo mode, this game has so many cool archetypes I never knew existed
>>97352437Yes. It is illegal to use dice as counters in sanctioned events. The official reason is that they cannot be confused with other game elements, and while Dice mechanics are not at all common, they are still a thing that exists. The unofficial reason is because of how easy it is to either cheat, or accidentally roll something like a D20 to a different value.>https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/downloads/penalty_guide/YGOTCG_Tournament_Policy_v_2_5.pdf>Counters must be items that cannot be confused with other game elements. >Items that are overly large, could damage cards or other tournament property, or have graphics or text inappropriate for an all-ages environment cannot be used.>Physical counters are required – the “counter” function in NEURON cannot be used without also using physical counters.>Counters must be added to cards in the appropriate quantity (example: if card effect(s) would place 4 counters on a card, Duelists should add four counters, rather than using a die placed to show “4.” Tradeoff is that you can use virtually anything as counters, as long as each individual counter is represented by an individual object.

>>97288951not unless you're playing Maid RPG. and Maid RPG only manages to not be magical realm bullshit by implicitly requiring all players at the table to at least share the fetish.

Goblins have existed in folklore for centuries in various forms, but where and when was it decided that Goblins are green? in 1st edition d&d, thwey're described as having various skin shades, green not being specified or standing out among the.a lot of people assume warhammer, but spiderman had a green goblin before warhammer, so what the fuck
>>97352057Good point. The Hobgoblin is not called the Yellow Hobgoblin, he's just Hobgoblin.
>>97351927Easy.Hopkinsville 1955.same as the origin for the term "little green men."Which is kind of hilarious, because they weren't even green, a newspaper journalist misheard grey.
>>97352220kek
>>97351927Probably thanks for their association with Orcs, who got turned green thanks for Burroughs influence.

>four "chaos" gods>only one actually embodies the concept of chaoswhat did they mean by this?
>>97345916>>97346153Chaos was associated with the ocean because back then it meant the primordial abyss from which all life came from. Chaos being associated with disorder is a more recent invention.
>>97346911
>>97345793Spreading warfare, disease, and/or wanton lust would lead to a lot of chaos in a civilized society so yeah they do all embody chaos, moron
>>97345793What are some other divine spheres of influence that would for other Chaos-aligned gods? I always felt like Warhammer's Chaos gods could have had theirs chosen better.
>>97352992I don't know if it would work as a full chaos faction, but I kind of wish GW allowed Belakor to Ascend and become a full on chaos god of darkness. A god dedicated to darkness, silence, stealth and treachery would be a fun concept to play with.

>>97352508Interesting to see Gundam that high
>>97352541This video is going over domestic popularity, but it's not like people aren't enjoying Gundam. It actually has a lot of people playing it currently (despite the shitty job Bamco has done launching the game.)

It's pic related. Peter Jackson tried to copy Blix's swag for a good reason
>>97342978Yeah, I'd put it under "hag" more than "goblin".
>>97313690This is my primary argument that all goblins should have massive cocks. Because it's undeniable that that goblin has one, and that makes big dick goblins canon.
>>97352975yeah, but he's the goblin KING.so all that tells me is that goblins probably determine leadership by dick size. which feels like a very goblin thing to do tbqh.

What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
>>97349638>>97350461Either that or an over the top villain that mocks them Dr. Evil style
>>97349486Hire hungry samurai.
>>97349486I'm assuming Generic Medieval Setting (TM) here. >The party come across the ransacked caravan. Throats cut, boxes broken open, and a hasty trail leading off in the forest nearby. You listen closely to hear laughter and lots of noise which means lots of men.>The GM hands the party's scout a note. 'You see them well before they can spot you. Six men you count. Spears and crossbows. Poorly hidden behind the birch trees up ahead.' And let the party ambush the ambushers>You round the bend to see a large log blocking the trail/road. Near the log are three men dressed in haphazard armor. They are in the process of hanging the third of three men from a nearby tree. (The men doing the hanging are the Reeve and his company. The hanging men are bandits)> A beggar on the road with a sickly boy. He'll ask for more than the party are willing to give. He'll hold the party up with a shaky hand and crossbow after the party refuse to give more.>The bandits are the government. You've reached a toll bridge. The footmen demand silver. If you give it too earnestly, they'll also demand to search the goods for "contraband". One of the footmen says he'll wave the fee if the pretty woman gives him a good kiss (something slimy will get everyone prickly). They'll ask for a donation to "ignore" the "contraband" they found among you. (optional twist: you notice that the waffenrock they are wearing are a little too dirty and a little too bloody. They aren't the baron's men after all.. just pretending to be!)>>97352593Solid ideas here.
>>97349486It's not an ambush. These bandits are confident. This is their highway, or their bridge, or something else of that nature. They're here to collect their toll, and they're not above beating it out of you.
>>97349486There's always the option to add morally grey elements.Alternatively you can add wrinkles like hostages, captured beasts, magical allies, dubious identity.It could be foreign agents trying to destabilize a region that have a barbarian lizardman they release, hidden traps all around the battlefield and the leaders surrender when loss is certain, claiming that they have a hostage that will die if they don't return
