Zerg or Tyranids, who's cooler?
>>97827534Nids have legs. Nids are cooler.
>>97839918>Nids have legsSo have various Zergs species.
>>97832936I have to ask, are you stupid?Do you think the people who sought the fantasy license were like, "We're going to be really strict about our duties, NO ONE is to be aware of any other Games Workshop products than the ones we're pursuing. Do not even THINK about them!!"And then just by sheer chance the three Starcraft armies are direct ripoffs of three 40K armies.Your a stupid man!!!
>>97833075The Xenomorph is the weakest of the aliens. It needs a host to reproduce. IoM has no problems with wiping out hosted populations. IoM LasGuns can easily kill a Xenomorph. "OH NO, their acid blood is TOO DANGEROUS!" It isn't if you're dealing with alien monsters that can tank Lasers, Bolters, and those over-the-top bullets the SC humans are using. Not to mention, BOTH Nids and Zergs have ranged weapons that can SHRED Metal. Both make a point of taking in DNA from other races. BOTH CAN FLY IN SPACE. It's honestly funny how UNDERPOWER Xenoomorphs are.
Both are generic and look dumb.Lictors are cool because they actually sort of look vaguely Lovecraftian, I wish the rest of the Tyranids got the memo
>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent somethingNecromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.
>>97816513i don't think necromancy fits, that's just an inherently evil ability. and humans are not an inherently evil race.
>>97816513Eye of the Beholder III had an Elf lich, IIRC.
>>97816513Warhammer fantasy has the best take on necromancy as a "Human thing" because only human beings have the right combination of short lifespan, and relative magical aptitude, to make it seem like a good use of your time.Elves look at necromancy and go "I'm good": they don't wanna get a permanent case of shit-face from freebasing congealed Dhar scraped off the floor of an Altdorf toilet stall.
>>97816903Literally the only nonhuman necromancer I can think of is Sauron
Why would an elf need to expand their life by becoming a lich?

>>97839954Ah damn I wanted to use that pic for my session report. Eh doesn't matter.So I braved the cursed 5p session and played a bunch of different games.>SantiagoIt's as good as people say it is, suprisingly so. Not that big on pure negotiation games, largely because even in the best cases (like chinatown) they tend to exhaust me far more than a mathsy euro or stressful realtime game ever could. Santiago sidesteps this in an interesting way, on closer inspection it's a bizzarely eurofyed version of negotiation. You can negotiate, but not freely exchange resources and the spotlight is always on one person that makes the decision, eliminating the frantic shouting over each other and jockeying for attention, which also means there's no need for a timer to keep it short like in chinatown. First game took around 75 minutes and could realistically go down to 45. Not much to say, it's pretty good and very cutthroat, and I merely scratched the surface of how to play well. Rightfully a classic and I will prefer it to all other negotiation games in the future. Problem is that it allegedly is only really good with 5p.>AgricolaHad a new player (who is a bit of a brainlet) on the table so drafting was out of the question. Still enjoyed it because Agricola is just fucking awesome, but the draft is clearly what elevates the game. Didn't much feel the high player count, bit over 2h. I wish there was a comeback of more brutal euros like this, where your first game should just be about "try to not starve". Finally going over the edge from barely making it to actually having an engine run and being able to do more than survive is so statisfying. I expected 5p to be far longer, and it's very interesting how adding a few spaces changes the games dynamic a lot.>Ra5p sees the players with a little too little control than I'd like but it's still phenomenal. Ra might just be best at 3.>cont.

let's say I have 5 tarellians and 5 barghesi from that one box set, don't ask me how I got them, would you say this unit of 10 is a good kill team: Tarellian Dog Soldiers? It feels like most pets in kill team are usually like one or two and then a kill team of 5-9 guys though. But the barghesi aren't actually dogs either, they're just aliens who got enslaved by other aliens.
>>97839417I remember there was a brief moment in 2023 when that was cheap as fuck, like as low as 110 bucks free shipping, then suddenly people were scalping it for 200 bucks or more. I hate ebay. That part of 2023 went by really fast too.
>>97840060Or maybe I'd run it like Kill Team Wolf Scouts with 5 tarellians and barghesi and the other 4 barghesi can just be for the memes on my shelf.
>>97840061So it wasnt my imagination after all. Was slightly remembering something similar.

Been thinking a lot about this>So the warp, as the realm of souls, originally was a creation of the old ones as a weapon against the necrontyr in the war of heaven. It allowed not only a means for the Aeldari and Krorks to use psychic powers, but also cheat death and allow them to respawn infinitely. >But after the war in heaven the warp is destabilized due to the negative emotions, death, and general usage. There's no more old ones to fix it either.>Now the "warp" sends those same negative emotions at the Aeldari who in turn start going crazy. They start doing their murder orgies, but it's not really fair to blame them as they are influenced by the warp. The same thing is known to happen to human psykers as well. The warp make psykers, especially untrained ones, crazy and emotional. In long terms it uses them to gain more power and access to realspace. REMEMBER THIS.>This creates a feedback loop where the the negative emotions make the mortals crazy and in turn have the negative emotions to fuel the warp. Ultimately resulting in slaanesh. khorne nurgle and tzeentch are likely started in the war in heaven, but finished during humanity's early era when human psykers start showing up.Con

How classist and sneering is your character to other social classes? Does your character view peasants like filth, or anyone not scholar like an uneducated vermin, or nobles like tyrannical parasites, or sees settled, urban people, as soft and stagnant?

>>97839565this is a very good comment! thank you for the feedback! I like your decklist, I just dont like running the 3 level 4 Ruki's. Also I like to use more the renamon from ex 02. to 4 because I want to grab more tamers. My favorite plug in is the defense one because it stops my opponent from suspending but the offensive one can get rid of pesky ones. But meta is zefaggotmon which loves to twist around. Also the ilyad decks are annoying. I would probably reduce one or two ruki's level 4. Also I like the ace sakuyamon but she is a time bomb u

>>97839905yeah I find the 4 cost rika can be a bit clunky, its by far ur best tamer and provides insane value, but you never want 2 of them on board thus you never want to see 2 of themso ideally you run the card at 2, but the problem is that at 2 copies you don't see it enough in time, so you run 3 and just use the others as a free card you can trash for certain things (as niche as it is that comes up, st renamon is the only way you can do that from your end but that isn't the most common situation) but I think its very easy to just run it at 2 and not expect to see her every game.my list is for my playstyle, ratios should be changed for what plays you find yourself making more and towards your own playstyle.the plug-ins are a pretty niche thingthe blue one is obviously the best one in a vaccuum, red is great for certain things as well but its link effect is just strictly worse so it kinda feels not as good.black is obviously far worse, except that the black plug-in is often your only answer or gives a lot better options in certain situations. For example 2 of them were really good earlier as it massively improved the hudiemon match up, with 0 chitose they were unable to attack past you as you could just block and they didn't have enough DP neg, with a single chitose they needed to use up a shakkoumon before swinging and required 2 chitose to get the job done. your goal was to make 1 maid mode, get a chip in, then make a 2nd stack and kill them with that, so you were stalling for a turn inbetween and hoping to not die. Except if they were not fully setup and couldn't clear the maid mode you basically just instantly won the game and it gave a significant improvement to the hudie match up.RK is a similar one where it massively improves the match upsit makes styracco struggle a lot more as well and setup double kill situationsso while I don't think its that strong, I also find it invaluable in so many match upsyou should play what fits you though
>>97839910its insane when it pops offI played it a bit, its quite funbut its a far more difficult deck to pilot than most (without a massively big return) and if you even slightly brick you get very stalled out, and its a very prone to bricking deck with a lot of the cards it needs to run.it also isn't even cheap of a deck as some of the SR's go for a decent chunk so I am not surprised it isn't popularIts a single wave of support from being insane though and hugely oppressive
>>97840015if your opening hand sucks you are probobly not playing the game, yeah. If you have a decent hand you get to weave your deck to prevent bricking. I would say its less prone to bricking than imperial or sneed mille

Pigheaded Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more.

>>97836512They're the result of true demons mating with base animals. So they have some blood of true devils running through them, but are denied actual primacy amongst Hell's upper polities inany real capacity and seethe endlessly that they'll never be able to sit at the fathers thrones due to being mere degenerate bastards.On the upside, they can march on Earth freely without breaking the compact with Heaven due to not being pure demons so they're usually used to lead and coordinate their parents forces in creation.

Hi,I am only now playing Amnesia: The Bunker and I am amazed just how much in apperance and lore the Monster from game resembles Flesh Eater Courts.The Monster from game is actually a type of ghoul per lore. The Monster was once Augustin Lambert, who had been transformed into a powerful Ghoul like creature due to the drinking water tainted by a otherworldly substance called Vitae ( this reminded me of Kingsblood "wine"). It is a cannibal monstrosity that stalks the tunnels of game, reminded me of how, for example, a Varghulf would act in closed spaces. It makes its home and sleeps in the Chapel, decorated with gruesome half devoured corpses.The design of Monster eyes and those immense fangs that make its toothy maw for some strange reason deeply reminds me of Blisterskin court art. In the Blisterskin court art, the ghoul has a semi dreamy/melancholy eyes filled with pure tragedy. Such a powerful imagery.

I bring with me a story, a story I must re-type because 4chan fucked my post in my dealing with IP range bs! Long ago, 16 years and a couple days ago, an anon made a small game called Wizard Battle and posted it to /tg/. Last year, someone on a discord server I'm in told me of the game and told me to do something with it. As such, I've cleaned the game up a bit in some parts, and filled it up in others. Since the original game was posted originally as a thread, I thought I would bring things around full circle.>but anon the amateur game design thread is 8 pages down the hall!Too bad, I already posted an earlier version of this in a game design thread.The game: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hm4bLdzsX4bzYMxgs-N1fnCNVDUwKKXxwxqD9eddqdkThe original: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/2010/8941465/
