>>97257575looks decent. I think you've gone a bit "non-metallic metal" on the legs with multiple shadow areas, and your brightest spots being down there rather than on top of the marine. it's not clear where your light source is intended to be. but the main purpose is to communicate shape and scale and you're doing that. volumetrics don't have to be precise to work.
>>97257816Also, among ogre bits found a perfect head for this little project I had in a box
>>97257819Hard to capture it on photo, but it still reads as black when you look at it.Maybe once all the other parts are highlighted and the terrain is painted.
>>97257828the blue shoulder and belt buckle don't help. rather than providing a contrast they just make my eye see a lot of blue at a glance.
>>97257865I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
>>97254437>Per AD&D rules, shouldn't the paladin have fallen when he killed he first peasant, regardless of whether or not he knew the peasant's alignment?Killing enemy combatants during wartime is not an evil act regardless of their alignment. Other circumstances might make still make it evil, but what OP is describing does not.
>>97252494Live by the sword, die by the sword. Anyone who takes up arms can be killed in honorable combat without besmirching the honor of the killer.
>>97253489>>97252494OP, still waiting for an answer as to why these people were "defending" their land by "attacking" mine.
>>97253489Best defense is literally good offense.
>>97257332Your home and left kidney are rightful shittytwististani clay
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97215302What if it's more a spectrum and a product of the very short life spans of goblins. If a goblin settlement is stable for long enough they start to build a functional culture and some social experience that allows them to peacefully interact with human settlements, but if the settlement is consistently blown to pieces they go feral. For example, if only a few goblin children are left after a major culling, they grow and breed very quickly without any respect for the cost of offspring. They would have no agricultural skills, no hunting skills, no shelter, no resources to trade with, and no elders or experience to teach them otherwise, so they start raiding farms for chickens and loving in barns and caves. Raiding ends up being the successful means of providing, so you catch bad attention, get obliterated and restart the cycle. Alternatively, a stable village figures out growing crops, teaches children to trade or work in the nearby town, people come to begrudgingly respect the little fuckers, they get help maintaining their little village from the local humans, and even though they only live fifteen years there's continuity of culture and experience. Controlling goblins ends up being either a process of aggressive extermination or improving their lot enough that they realize farming is better than being exterminated (and providing them with condoms). You end up with goblin public health specialists that are overall more economical than equipping a goblin task force.
>>97231892Could be the same business as killing coyotes too, lotta people just don't feel comfortable killing something like a dog, lotta people don't have a gun and the right experience to safely deal with a coyote. Could be the same for goblins, some people would do it, but others would get the ick because it feels like killing kids, most people wouldn't feel safe confronting the two goblins in the trash can.
>>97213989>ANOTHER thread where OP isn't pretending to post about his fetishcome on man
>>97256680But goblin raiders have no reason not to raid other goblins, or in the presence of other goblinsThis really only vouches for the effectiveness of relocation as an ideal method of genocide. If you never fully "corner the rat" you can keep them all close together
>>97213989The goblins in my setting can breed faster than you can put them down.They also don't respect species barriers, any cum can get them pregnant and they're all female.Moreover a goblin measures her worth as a goblin by how many daughters she births, hoping to birth enough that she can start her own tribe.And why yes, they do kidnap human males as breeding studs, and feed them herbs that boost the production of nut butter and rape them until they knock up the whole tribe then set them free.It is strictly illegal, but many villages even trade young, strong, healthy boys to the goblins for a set period of time in exchange for a lack of harassment.>!Why yes, this is my poorly disguised fetish. How could you tell?!<
Ghoul Stars>Region of space inhabited by scary monsters >They're scarier and more monstrous than all the other scary monsters (just take our word for it)>No you can't see it, we're never going to show you, and it's never gonna be in the gamesThe harrowing>Imperium is invaded by monsters from another dimension that is scary and incomprehensible (but also it isn't the warp)>They're scary and incomprehensible (so basically Chaos but Chaosier)>No you can't see it, we're never going to show you, and it's never gonna be in the gamesWhat is the point of this?
>>97256523The competitive mindset and PUG culture feed in to this. It's one thing to spend time thrashing out your ideas with some friends over time, but when your gaming circle is "dudes at the shop/tournament" whose only concern is really their win/loss record, you're never going to get any traction.

>>97257109You mean of the "Legacy" factions?I think most likely will be Shreks. They've been piddling out of Sigmar for a while and I can see them just disappearing and going all back to Old World (I still think GW's current stance against cross-system play is fucking stupid)Next Delfs. GW needs to shit or get off the pot with Malekith's godhood and his Shadow Elves in Sigmar. Do something, come out with new models and squat the old Delf models from the Cities line and bring them all back to TOW.Daemon of Chaos very likely, but only once GW moves the story forward and gets to Asavar Kul's invasion.Rats would be easiest to do since even their new models are small enough to rank up on 25s, but since they're being used as the big bads for the current edition of AOS, GW won't relinquish them.Lizards would also be more difficult, all the big monsters haven't been updated but the new Saurus don't rank up very well, though it is possible to get them going. And NuSlann would need new bases that could fit in ranks.But since they're still a major faction in AOS, very unlikely.New Chorfs rank up better than I thought, but again, extremely unlikely as GW doesn't want cross-play.Comment too long.

I’d like to see the VC back just to get my hands on some of the pre-refresh skeletons. I know tracking them down second hand isn’t the worst experience, but it’d be more convenient in my mind.
I just learned they no longer sell previous start collecting X boxes and I'm lowkey salty. They used to go for extremely cheap, and they would be perfect for 500 points worth of demon allies.

>>972575392e is a better game than 1e. Goes for more cinematic mechanics than simulationist which fits the theme given it is all about building your character's story and legend to godhood. Pick 1e, 2e, whatever homebrew lore you want since the mechanics can accommodate within reason.
>>97257657If 2e's system feels too exposed, then get Curseborne and use that instead.

Genuine question, there’s no real answer to it, mostly looking for opinions for the sake of narrative flavour for my game. What is the connection between Cegorach and the Deceiver? Are they the same being, somehow? Are they connected? Is Cegorach just the Deceiver’s longest ever deception, or is the Deceiver Cegorach’s biggest joke? Or have one of them pretended to be the other, on occasion?
>>97257601My GM is very wary of stacking gear qualities for this very reason. MC bodysuits can get very silly.
>>97257643It's about as busted as being a Machine Trait Admech with a bunch if Unnatural Attributes in FFGNothing wrong with a bit of broken power gaming. Something I was pretty disappointed in is that they didn't take the time to make gear more... bespoke(?) In the Requisition Guide. They did that in the 4e Warhammer Fantasy books, the item traits & stuff are VERY heavy handed. Like how shields can be destroyed in one blow & not even having the durability trait can save it completely. This means shields are pretty shit to invest it
>>97257162The bitter internecine conflict between different GW departments would never allow it. They forbid making tzaangors in TW Warhammer to have bird heads because they have bird heads in AoS, for example. They are refusing to update stuff in Old World that was expanded on in AoS. Vespids got relegated to killteam, and so on. Pretty much the only thing that's used between the difference GW games are the daemon models, the rest is highly insular
>>97257658It's moreso about how some negative qualities are nothingburgers. If you're not the face then ugly nets you a free positive quality, and shoddy doesn't mechanically affect certain types of gear, classic C7. I typically equip every starting character with flak armour that I've stacked 2 nega qualities on to be able to afford.

>>97252996Nah! I'm good, marking the territories isn't that long (outside of France's, which is just humongous), and I'm not sure which order of putting stuff is the best for it to come out looking good, this is very much a prototype. I'm glad at least I got a tiny bit of the USA's in there, I didn't even realize that. I tried doing the same with the full map, but Paint 3d couldn't handle the sizes involved. Very rough estimate, but the hexes came at about 80 miles across from what I could eyeball. What I'm thinking, for the "hexcrawl" version, would be that you build a small company, start in a city, and have a few options to generate job opportunities, trade mission requested, escort missions, reinforcement, labour employment, exploration, etc. A bit like, in Sunless Sea, when you are in Fallen London, so if you are in Fallen Paris you can check with the Societe if they have some missions for you. You generate a target location (figuring how to do this the best is what's bugging me now) and must reach it. Each hex you have to travel through would be a game map (obviously, not a 1:1 translation, but represent that one dangerous situation your Expedition got into during that week of travel). These games would set you more against NPCs. Probably some rules to speed up travel inside your frontiers, on roads or rivers, or through Airship or on boats. I've already figured out a bit of an event system to make the travel games a bit more chaotic. Will post more on this as soon as I feel it has enough structure to make sense.
