>>97277200Well, i may have drink a little bit too much during the new year's eve. Gomennethat premise is so mongoloid my brain automatically filtered that shit out

>>97277162>>97277189>>97278236>>97278502There's a Chinese expat communist's blog where praised how Warhammer began as a Marxist ideological statement and how it supported leftism. Rick Priestley commented not only agreeing with everything he said but endorsing the article and saying he was glad that what they tried to do back then was recognized.Warhammer has, from the mouth of basically its lead founder, always been commieslop designed to push bullshit propaganda on you.Source: https://wearethemutants.com/2019/01/14/when-warhammer-was-radical-the-egalitarian-origins-of-the-fantasy-battle-game/
So many familiar faces from the TC Discord in this threadWhy don't you fuck off back there?
>>97279271Rick Priestley doesn't understand 40k.No one became a commie, a fascist, a lib or football hooligan by playing Warhammer. It's a ridiculous premise. Like the moral panic about violent video games from ancient times.
>>97279314The intent is there regardless. We can look at propaganda from North Korea and think it's retarded and wonder how anyone could believe it, but it's still made with the express purpose of spreading a communist message. Considering the gigantic number of leftoids who love Warhammer, I'd say at the very least it appeals to the target audience.

Grogmas in the hive streets editionPrevious Thread:>>97019770Check out here for useful links and a catalogue of relevant miniatures retailers:https://pastebin.com/nnNqqFLnThe Rogue Trader magazine article compilation:https://gofile.io/d/yNK9bq
curious question that I thought some here might be able to help with. I have come across some nice RT and 2nd ed orks 3d printing files. I love these minis and would like to include them in my current ork army, but I hesitate because of the scale difference between the older boys and the newer Brian Nelson orks, as that is what primarily makes up my army. I got to thinking, perhaps the scale difference wouldn't be so bad if I scaled the 2nd ed minis up in the slicer before printing. My question then is how much of a scale up do you reckon they would need to appear about the same size as a Brian Nelson ork? cheers.
>>972717952nd edition starter is still probably the best starter set next to blackreachBecause you can actually and have been given the tools IN THE BOX to actually PLAY THE GAME with itCrazy idea I knowModern GW would never
>>97266334I've sent a lot of stuff to our recaster friend but he doesn't take everything offered. For example I had a set of the metal SM scouts with shotguns and bolters (that are quite rare compared to all the other scouts) and he wasn't interested, I guess cos most people just use the plastic kit that's been around for 20 years. They're a business at the end of the day and some of the gaps are deliberate.Having said that I've got a lot of the 90s lizardmen minis, I might see if he's interested in them. Are there any you're specifically looking for?
>>97276958Thanks. I've been collecting them all, but particularly I've been trying to get the old templeguard and just the regular Saurus with spears and other weapons and the alternative metal skink archers and javelin throwers, along with the champions.However, I agree, who in their right mind would stock those? In plastic, they're so abundant, but I just was abit crazy and wanted to get as many as I could to build up variety in my ranks.One thing I have are the skink cold one riders from Dogs of War, I wonder if he would want those.Someone else must have RT chaos marines, because I see them around here and there, and there's no way they're all legit. Maybe.
>>97274947I dont think that this starter box is better than the ones that followed.The difference is that the 2nd edition came at a much easier, less complicated army list.
If you created an Amazon setting, what would it be like? By Amazon setting, I don't mean a single society among many where women are primarily the fighters, I mean a setting where every society is this way. Some question to start someone off:>What genre would you make your setting be?>Do women tend to be musclegirls, men tend to be twinks, both, or does comparative height and build not change?>Is the magic that men and women are capable of different?>For pursuits that don't involve combat (such as hunting), are ones that are considered masculine and feminine swapped? Which ones?>While women would dominate military matters, what about other goverment matters? Do those end up women dominated?>How does courtship change?>Did you Amazon setting start off as such in-universe or was it some new development that lead to it being that way?
>>97278608It'd be like a scratched record repeating the same threads over and over again.
>>97278608>What genre would you make your setting be?Porn>Do women tend to be musclegirls, men tend to be twinks, both, or does comparative height and build not change?Combination of Frieren, MGE, and Flick the Thief.Monsters used to be male favored sex ratio and evolved to human-like forms to better trick them, but got screwed when the humans gathered together and made a curse that caused them to be unable to have anymore male children. The remaining female monsters, now facing extinction, gathered up and cast a spell of their own to have children with human men. Now humans are an essential resource for monsters especially men.>Is the magic that men and women are capable of different?Outside of large rituals ala the ones that made the state of affairs magic is uncommon. There's no easy spells.>For pursuits that don't involve combat (such as hunting), are ones that are considered masculine and feminine swapped? Which ones?Men are cloistered in human society they can engage in previously masculine jobs, but are forced to stay within the bounds of society or risk kidnapping.>While women would dominate military matters, what about other goverment matters? Do those end up women dominated?Men sometimes have governmental roles but they're rare and generally can't overrule the women's concerns for practical reasons.>How does courtship change?Human courtship is relatively unchanged women, on average, become a bit more forward comparatively.Monster "courtship" is kidnapping and rape with pleasing males being elevated from rape slave to manservant to maybe a pseudo-husband status among the more human influenced.

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97276721IIRC Japan celebrates new year according to the western calendar but they also do the naming the years after the animals of the Chinese zodiac thing, so according to Japanese reckoning it is already year of the horse.
>>97276299>How would you deploy a tactical centaur?Have them tow artillery pieces while also serving as part of the crew operating them.The main selling point of a centaur in the industrialized warfare is that they're a horsepower, a pair of dexterous hands, and a brain capable of complex thinking, all rolled into one creature.As other anons pointed out, they're best used in logistics, likely paired with a human to both watch their back, and help them fix stuff around their rump where they can't reach themselves.Also, this is probably a bit off-topic, but I'm curious if driders and other %whatever%taur would be welcome here.Centaurs seem relatively straightforward in terms of armor and tactical application, what with horse armor being a thing.Driders, on the other hand, present a more difficult challenge, as they got more legs, take up more space, and their shape is even less conducive to good armoring.I'm toying with an idea of playing as one in a purely theoretical campaign that may or may not ever take place and it'd be nice to have some idea of what one could expect when playing such a race.I guess there would be some overlap, with things like trying to squeeze into taverns, dungeons, armor, and fine dresses being a pain for everyone with only partially-humanoid anatomy.
Centaurs are cool but dumb. I mean, if we're taking the usual "evolved more or less naturally" take, what are rimitive centaurs even supposed to eat?
>>97279270They're basically perfect for eating from trees.
>>97279288And you know what kind of biome horses are not really good for? Forests!

>>97279252those bones could mean anything...
>>97279239I was thinking the most reasonable release would be Ydrilan Rivermage and Ydrilan Spirit of the River with Daixo Whitecrest as the named build option, but I guess my hopes got a little too big for their britches on the count of LRL being my newest army.
>>97279230Acolytes look alright but are a terrible unit for tzeentch that don't embody any of tzeentch's themes, and everyone is sick of tzaangors they've infested every tzeentch-related product for AoS and 40k
>>97279281Kairic's would have been great if the unit champion was the buff gigachad and the rest failed the spell and are stuck as his mutant loser lackeys
>>97279181I think there's a way to translatd the general 'vibe' for lack of a better word to modern minis. Obviously miller's stuff is more out there but gw has succesfully translated oldhammer art pretty 1 to 1 to models, first things that come to mind are one of the black templar (?) chaplains (with the axe) and the panther knight guy from tow.Just fiddling with the art a bit to make up some fluff for why tzeentch chosen or knights look generally similar to the knight in the pic. Maybe their armour is made of metal that changes form and/or element constantly, or somethig fitting for tzeentch like that.Idk the nurgle refresh was really well done, they took it in some interesting and fitting directions, new but still warhammer. Maybe that makes me optimistic. But yes, tzeentch is probably one of the hardest factions to design by nature, and there's a very good chance they fuck it up.
You have to play Monopoly.Which Monopoly do you play?
>>97271331Shouldnt you be an expert and win most games than?
>>97247712National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, obviously.
>>97267326I remember buying a set of Pokemon "pencil topper" (they had a little depression in their base so they could sit on top of an eraser) figures with my pocket money, and the Charmander became my favorite toy. He'd go on adventures with his best friend Bulbasaur, and I even created a whole world with construction paper for them to explore, with different environmental zones and my other pokemon figurines as residents.Only years later did I discover that what I had bought were bootleg recasts of the pokemon monopoly pieces. Seeing that little Charmander on that box is giving me a flood of memories.
>>97267837>Not Galipolopoly
>>97247712The voice version's actually pretty good, for Monopoly at least.

Gun to your head, you can only put 5 humanoid/demihuman races in your setting. After those five, you’re done. You chose humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and ents? No gobbos and orcs for you. What are you choosing?
