By your logic, Elves have always been "Humans but pointy ears", dwarves have always been "Humans but angry" and hobbits have always been "Humans but short and hairy".

Animals are sentient. Humans are Sapient. Orks, Skaven, and beastmen are not Sapient. They are sentient. They lack free will and are bound to instinct. They are animals. They are not people, and incapable of free will.

>>97880649then go to a computer repair shop and tell them to build it for you, you'll pay a bit more but it's the same thing
>>97880649>>97880770also if you do this just say you want 16gb of vram for playing games and don't tell them it's for ai because some of them are retarded about that and will want to have a long conversation about it
>>97880649You can buy a prebuild, it's just usually cheaper if you put it together yourself. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/STORMCRAFT-Sirius-Chipset-Desktop-Computer/dp/B0FWCMHSMZor this https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-AORUS-Desktop-Windows-AP5A7N7T-5000/dp/B0FNN3X79FNote the important parts are the 16GB Nvidia GPU and the 32GB of RAM.
>>97880071>>97880406You don't need to pay more than like 1k for a decent enough rig. Maybe 1.2k now that ram prices exploded. Sure it won't be bleeding edge but it'll be 90% as good, and more importantly, higher specs wouldn't really help you with genning ai art anyway. Maybe you'd gen a batch of 8 images in 1.5 minutes instead of 2 minutes or something. Who the fuck cares.
>>97880649>what if I dont think I can build my own pcLight some candles, put on some Gregorian chants in the background, and have a little faith.Computers are remarkably easy to build these days. Each component has its own socket or slot that corresponds to it, with little text written on the motherboard itself to tell you which spot is for what component. Modern CPUs don't even have pins that you could accidentally bend anymore. You kinda can't get it wrong, as long as you don't apply excessive thermal paste when attaching the heatsink.

>>97866133There's also games that "aren't 40k but easily allow for 40k model reuse."I asked about this on /awg/.The two standouts (due to being free) are StarBeach and No Limits.That's all I know. They seem like passion projects by a hobbyist who made making wargames his hobby so expect some really broken rule buried somewhere as tournament play doesn't seem to be considered in the rules writing.There's also Renegades as a Kill Team alternative.Also free.I've never played these games because I can't find anybody to give them a try. So I cannot comment on the quality. Only say they exist and are free.
>>97878477Sorry for the late reply, I'll post the list here to bump the thread and to spark discussion, this is one of the less creative Tyranid lists I run, I lost the others I use (For example the 120 Gaunts +30 gargoyles one)Tyranids 2000 points | Synapse (15)----HQ----+ Hive Tyrant [135] - Twin Linked Devourer [20] - Pair of Boneswords [15] - Extended carapace [10]+ Broodlord [115] - Acid maw [8] - Genestealer Brood [70] (Retinue) - 5 Genestealers [70]+ Guard Brood [50] - 2 Hive Guards [100]Comment too long.

What rules would you change or revert to 2nd edition for HH 3.5 Ruleset ?
>>97879945>>97878477As for my marine friend, I'm not sure on the details but it's something along the lines ofTerminator captain w/ orbital strikeTerminator Librarian2 basic bitch tactical squads of 52 ten man terminator squadsNu dread with lasscannon and missile launcherPredatorVeteran Squad in a razorbackA devastator squad with those weird new flamersWe run the new dread as a heavy support and I tried balancing it around the contemptor dreadnought from the csm codex and the leviathan dread from the first edition of Horus heresy. As for the Tyranid customization, it's great, I have a few converted models/ ones that don't have rules so I can just build them from something else, the synapse rule doesn't come up in our games that often, I keep my HQ's in the back until the last round most of the time
>>97879969The push for shorter and shorter games is the thing I hate most. 4 turns? Thats ridiculous. 6 turns minimum and random up to 9 like Rick and Andy intended.
Logically, many adventurers would become bandits instead. The rewards aren't as great, but it's far easier to just rob peasants and travellers than to fight monsters.
>>9788038311 current, 9 deleted in this weekend alone.
>>97880401puckee images should be auto-excluded by hash and deleted whenever posted like my little pony content until he gives up and goes back to facebook
>>97875276there is no fine line between bandits and adventurers. it's like going viking. might end up solving someone's problem or being it, depending on your interests. when you show up people might bolt their doors and hide inside or approach you with a purse and a mission, or just offer an exchange of goods.
>>97880290It's telling somebody by name to kill themselves, I'm sorry that you are so stupid that you are incapable of using either a Google search, or parsing normal language
>>97880131And both are retarded, your intent and the outcome are both required to be good to accomplish good.If the intent was not good but the outcome was good, you are pretending to be good but are actually evil.If the intent was good but the outcome was evil, you are not good, you are deluded into thinking you are good but are actually evil.Your intent and the result must both be good for you to be good.Maybe TSR adventurers were evil assholes, but the way modern adventurers are most often portrayed is good people doing good things. Actual heroes. There's a reason /tg/ whines about modern D&D being "Fantasy Superheroes", it's because they are repulsed by the concept of people being genuinely good and trying to make the world a better place through doing good deeds out of pure selfless desire to help others because /tg/ and 4chan in general is a hive of scum and villainy. Give 99.9% of this site superpowers and they would be the most evil bastards you can think of.
>I can fix her>she can make me worseWhich way, Terran man?
>>97878444Too young.https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/forum_loroi_rites.html>It is usually by the age of six that a daughter of warrior parentage begins formal training, by default in the same caste as her mother.>In some cases, such as private nomadic groups or large castes such as the Soroin that have many academies, the children are enrolled locally. In others, such as more specialized castes like the Mizol, Teidar or Listel, the children are transported to a special caste academy, which may be on a different planet.I don't know whether or not Seren would have a Teidar academy, but that isn't even relevant at the diral stage, that comes after passing the normal unspecialized survival trials:>Now about eight years old (the Human equivalent of about sixteen), the new warriors are usually entered into the more formal education required by her military branch, lasting between two to four years, depending on the specialty. In some castes, there is a kind of apprenticeship in which trainees may be assigned to real units to complete their training (such as the Soroin Paset, assigned to real ships in a manner similar to a midshipman). In addition to specialized education and some generalized college-level subjects, this secondary education process is also used to refine the “wild” edge many of the young warriors will have developed during the child-band stage.>During peacetime, at this stage the graduating warriors would be assigned to training units for eight to ten years. However, during the current Umiak war, as in ancient times, graduating warriors are more often than not transferred directly into active combat units.
>>97878824It is interesting that Arioch specifically calls out telekinesis as one of the few circumstances under which daughters of civilian mothers might be eligible for warrior trials and warrior elevation. It seems possible that Fireblade has a different shameful background as the daughter of a demoted warrior or a guild civilian.The more likely of those two would be a demoted warrior.The most likely cause of said demotion being incurable hereditary epilepsy, diagnosed shortly after her first pregnancy. Since we have seen evidence of Fireblade manifesting such a condition, and since peacetime warrior status would have more to do with reproductive rights and military responsibilities than with being thrown facefirst into a bloodbath it seems appropriate that certain disabilities would stand to be cause for such demotion.>>97867473Yes.
>>97878926>incurable hereditary epilepsyThose are post-combat shakes.
>>97879121She'S also spent her teen years fighting the fulll-on Red Damn insurgency against the bugs, so she probably had a lifetime supply of PTSD when she got started.
>>97879121Shellshock seizures have record as both nonepileptic and epileptic types, and are more likely to be epileptic than the Vietnam era PNES diagnoses which had the advantage of denying homeless veterans permanent disability payments had indicated. Stress triggers most myoclonic epilepsies. The difference between an epileptic and a psychogenic nonepileptic seizure is that a brain scan shows normal activity in PNES, the Loroi would probably be able to communicate effectively with Fireblade if it was a PNES because they are telepaths and her brain activity would be normal.
Why is it undead never seem to try to take care of their physical appearance? You'd figure at least some of them would be vain or aesthetes concerned with such things.

>>97820156>Ex2eI was fascinated by X-Com style flying subs for a while so I tried to combine that A5 underwater submarine from COTD West with the Warbird, then scaled it up to fit a platoon of people, to make it something on roughly the level of a Kireeki Skyreme.
>>97881035>So SAM lets you roll vs the stealth roll even if you have no way of knowing you need to? Or do you get to roll regardless?You always get to roll against Stealth. You always get to roll Join Battle before the ambush happens. Everybody making a reflexive Awareness roll vs Stealth actions is part of Stealth and concealing yourself in the first place. It's one of the main things making Stealth kind of mediocre in my opinion, in that it's very feast or famine and if you try to be just good at it rather than the absolute most munchkinned minmax best then you're going to get wrecked, because 90% of warriors minmax Awareness for JB purposes. Join Battle happening after the ambush is a 2e thing, not a 3e thing, and if you act in combat before the ambusher on initiative (even if it's just to take Full Defense, since you can't see anyone) then you don't get ambushed.

Do you want to play at home but you don't live in Nippon? Get yourself a 2-player set with Hasbro stadium. It's more narrow than Takara Tomy one but some people actually prefer it over the standard-sized one because it forces even more contact between bays.

Why is "Don't overprepare" such common advise given to DMs? sometimes it seems like people are allergic to putting effort into building adventures. Railroading typically happens when a DM is underprepared for their sessions.
