Honestly, the CTF-1X. It's great in 3025.

With newer tech, the CTF-4L. You really can't go wrong with a GR and an ERPPC.

People are extra sensitive about it having a gauss rifle in the side torso with an XL like there aren't countless designs that put ammo racks and such there too.

>>97176158
People have an issue with IS XL engines in general.

>>97168005
If you want Assault Mech speeds stick to Assault Mechs.

Heavy Mech's with a 3/5 movement is just like walking outside wearing an A-frame that says "Rape me here"

>>97176158
In my experience stuff like that only really matters if you care about salvaging or the pilot surviving. I can understand being a bit miffed if you're playing a more long form campaign style game and you end up with a mech with exploding torsos because whoever gets in that will probably die eventually.

>>97175819
Not really, no. This is a deliberate part of the setting, because if it's too easy to shoot down DropShips, ground forces can't get to planets to have the ground fights the game is actually about

>>97174071
My friend was like that as well and now he loves the setting. We convinced him to join a Dark Heresy campaign as a tribal death world recruit, so he could still play as a "fantasy" character, just thrown into a very alien world. He enjoyed it very much and soon got fully into 40k.

Honestly nice thing about 40k is that depending on what you prefer you can present it as almost hard sci-fi with a few soft elements, you can present it as almost fantasy with a big focus on space knights and daemons, or you can present it as something in-between. So maybe just ask your players to give it a try for a single one-shot and lean more towards the second approach, who knows, maybe it will buy them. Just don't shower them in lore right out of gate

Honestly from my experience people who claim they "don't like sci-fi" mostly have stuff like Star Trek or classic raypunk space operas in mind. Which is still abysmally shit taste, but 40k is almost as far away from that tonally and aesthetically as it is from D&D. And if they refuse to even give it a single try out of courtesy for you, that's just being a stubborn asshat

>>97172442
gork and mork were created with the species, along with the Eldar gods. These "racial gods" are engineered psychic defence systems to ensure that these races do not create malevolent entities in the warp. The Eldar fucked this up by abandoning the worship of their own gods and becoming hedonists, while the Orks simply degraded because they were a rushed project made purely for fighting and the old ones were no longer around to reel them in.

>>97172900
this is genuinely fucking terrible display from players. When I GM the players have ZERO say over what happens outside of their IC choices, they don't get to "plan arcs" or tell me where the campaign will head, and they dont get to retcon anything either.

Also players need to learn that gear can be lost, this is not a video game where you get to keep a fancy gun forever. God Im so angry on your behalf, I hope thsoe faggots all get what is coming to them

>>97175548
They didn't want to play his campaign and walked away. He's salty about it and tried to make them look like cartoon villains. I realize I'm biting engagement bait, but there's a slim chance some idiot is going to get as mad as you're pretending to be, so I'm going to post it anyway.

Haven't read the thread yet but are there many examples of armies in D&D? I'd imagine outside of B/X, full scale armies would be bullshit and OP, making the setting a bit OTT marvelesque?

You get a similar thing when looking at TES military, it quickly becomes unfuckable garbage under scrutiny because armies have to be bulked out by generic infantry, cavalry & archer units when in reality even Joe the Shoe Cobbler can be slinging spells like an elite troop.

So, I said back at the start I really want to do a Githyanki army as part of this project, and this is my tentative outline for it so far...

LORDS Not sure how to handle the iconic Gish as a Lord unit.
>Grand Commander (the vanilla/customizable lord)
>Hand of Vlaakith (Githyanki Knight Lord)
>High Warlock (Warlock Lord)

HEROES Not sure how to handle the iconic Gish as a Hero unit.
>Supreme Commander (the vanilla/customizable option)
>Warlock (Githyanki Wizard)
>Ch'r'ai (battle standard bearer + priest - maybe fold into Warlock as suboption)
>Duthka'gith Pyroclaust (Hero version of the Duthka'gith Holocaust Warriors, a Lore of Fire-wielding gish)
>Knight Commander (Hero version of the Githyanki Knight)

CORE UNITS Maybe just have one Troops, Githwarriors, and can build to represent Fighters, Scouts or Berserkers?

The lads were ahead of their time. Flesh and Blood was always a broken system. The players simply operated under the assumption that LSS knew what they were doing and hoped it would all work out in the end. Three years later and it just plain isn't working anymore.

I can tell you had just googled the word, because you capitalized it.

I still haven't gotten around to watching that one video but I never expected FAB to be this contentious. I just thought it'd be a niche thing- it's hard to tell if the people complaining are jaded anti-fans or people who just didn't like it from the start.

>>97176377
It's mostly just this thread, there are occasionally a few disgruntled opinions I see on other social media outlets but for the most part its pretty neutral. Generally when metas get boring/stale or when there's some controversy around you see a surge in posting. I think the Dev Talk video that people are crashing out about on here was pretty much universally well-received outside of their treatment of Blitz, which isn't the main thrust of the complaints here

Some acceptable photos of my knights now. Glad heraldry was still simple during the 12th and 13th centuries.

28mm Barons War minis by Footsore that I'm using for the Barons War Outremer expansion. The one in red is my leader, the historical figure Conrad of Montferrat, one of the leaders during the third crusade and was instrumental in preventing Saladin from capturing Tyre and later being elected king of Jerusalem before being murdered by the Assassins. His standard bearer flies the blazon of Jerusalem but his shield indicates he's from Ibelin.

Nicely done lads!

Any ideas for a good storage case for a bunch of 15mm minis? I was thinking magnetic if possible. Bases are all metal.

Is there a PDF of the new FoW Pacific book floating around?

"Why is your game fun?" "Here are all of the things that I think my game does well/differently from among the variety of choices. These are things that I find fun because I enjoy things like simulating knightly duels to the death and modeling how armor would protect well against sword blows but not necessarily a poleaxe. You also get to engage in roleplaying, immersively, and creatively but with an set of mechanical guardrails that preserve realism and verisimilitude. It's not perfect, but it might enjoy rolling with my particular set of rules." "you can't answer my question and your game must be AI slop".

None of these are actual answers, anon. I can't believe I have to explain this, but giving me a list of things your system can do is not the same as telling me why that's actually any fun or what the draw of it actually is.

"What's fun about playing baseball?"
"Oh, I enjoy hitting the ball, running around the bases, the teamwork, the competition."
"All of those are things you do when playing baseball. I can't believe I have to tell you this, but nothing about that tells me why playing baseball is fun".

Valid answers. What wouldn't be valid is saying

A quick shout-out to my favorite moment of campaign 2.
Only a few players could make it, so we did a one shot (one of many) that still would advance the overall story without leaving the rest of the party stranded.
First, the dramatis personae in question, the two MVPS
Enter Digby:
>Survivor from Campaign 1
>Paul Blart phenotype, fat, loser Racoon City Native
>Turned down by the National Guard
>Turned down by RCPD
>King of Stolen Valor
>Run by the best player in the group with the absolute most dogshit stats, absolute expert in company policy and bureaucracy but fuck all else
>Wants nothing more than to be a hero, absolute loser in his 'civilian' life
Tor
>obvious Umbrella Europe plant
>former GSG-9

They engage in a four hour long (IRL) investigation of a resort-turned-evangelical Christian retreat built on top of a failed Umbrella site.
After a ton of sleuthing and a couple accidents, they quicken the draining of the scenic pond which was being drained due to a suicide where a few peeps drove their jeep straight in and died.
Entire pump system / housing unit now deflooded in the hole filled with BOWs who were personnel of a rival corp who tried to poach Umbrella's Operation here.
BOWs are light-sensitive, so initially none seems amiss.
UBCS command orders them to investigate.
They do.
As the team rappels down into the hole, they begin working through the site and collecting what they can, when it becomes clear the BOWs are all over the place.
As they begin retreating, the natives get aggressive.

Do you often think about cock OP?

Mersadie Oliton described Loken as 'equine' upon first meeting him (while he was changing).

Then there was a Grey Knight attached to an Inquisitor's retinue

"On more than one occasion I’d stood with her and her warband in the communal showers after training, blind and numb to any sensation of desire, watching her wash her hair and listening to her speak of serving in the sweltering jungles of Voroxis, killing heretics who spilled from a downed rogue trader vessel.

Bizarrely, the Khatan had declared, upon seeing me wash myself, that my ascension to knighthood was ‘a great shame’. Captain Castor had explained the meaning to me several months later, though I still didn’t see the humour in it."

So apparently women don't think they're small.

Amazing to read that!
The game is soo much fun desu, I am glad you had fun too :D
What deck(s) are you planing on building now? :)

>>97175724
Just ones based around Digimon I like. That means an Angemon themed deck is first and foremost. Aside from that...
I've found that amongst my cards I have a Sukamon line which has me intrigued. I'd like to try and build a deck around that shitmon. Doesn't even have to be good, just for the lols.
Some sort of Agumon deck seems like its on the table.
I like VenomMyotismon, but also find myself interested in making a MaloMyotismon deck and the various cards that support it. Something with Myotismon anyway.
Gigadramon and Megadramon are 2 ultimates that I feel never get proper respect, so a deck for them, with probably some version of Machinedramon as their Mega.
I have every common, uncommon, and rare from the recent Hacker's Slumber set, so I feel like I should try and make some sort of CS deck. Maybe half Makiko Date w/Lopmon & Antylamon and half Goro Matayoshi w/Birdramon, Garudamnon, & Phoenixmon. I have all of those already, just need to decide what else to fill in the gaps with I guess.
Last, for now, but definitely not least. I saw that the Dark Masters have an archetype. I'm really not sure where to start with building that deck, besides the Dark Masters & Spiral Mountain, but I definitely want to give them a go. That seems like it'd be really cool to me. Could probably even include Apocalymon in such a deck. The high end seems obvious, it's the low end that I really don't know about.
I'm sure there will be a lot more as I love building decks for games, but these are what immediately come to mind for me.
