Xenos dont need nuance because they are a human trait turned to 11 to contast against humans and chaos. Infinite and divine starting a trend was a mistake.
>>97832797>thumbnailkekwheeze.jpeg
>>97832797All the major xenos races deserve some nuance -except the necrons which should've stayed mindless slaves to the c'tan- everything else should be nothing more than ontologically evil cannon fodderEldar deserve some pathetic 'woe is us we're fortold to doom' shitOrks deserve some mixture of boistrous goof and voracious, cunning tide of muscle and fungusDeldar are -slightly- tragic and deserve some consideration, but should be played mostly vile demon elvesTau being a hopeful, potential-filled fledgling race about to learn the follies of bringing xenos into the fold while dealing with the rigid caste system/ethereal oppresion should be leaned into way moreNids dont need anything beyond vague inkings of what the hive mind thinks, anything more would be too much
>>97832722While most of the details are in the document, the main thing is that peeps will be part of a team consisting of T'au, Drukhari, Kroot, and Sslyth player characters, working for a criminal syndicate that focuses on profit above all, and is trying to take and hold territory for the second time in its existence (the first time didn't work out too well). Special Forces in that you're an elite member of the syndicate's enforcer / mercenary division, performing top secret missions for the leadership to secure territory, get paid, and make a name for yourselves. There's something big out there to find, are you badass enough to charge in guns blazing? In your downtime, you can spread the syndicate's corruption through the galaxy. This isn't Chaos corruption in the spiritual sense, but things like Intimidation, Piracy, Kidnapping, Racketeering, Bribery, Militia Manipulation, Black Marketing, and Slavery operations through ground, space, and mass combat operations. You can also join the fight to secure territory in Commorragh, for more bonuses and plunder. You have an entire sector to exploit. Or you could just go fishing. I won't judge.I expect it to be a shorter game, dependent on how many missions peeps want to undertake. While the main objective from my perspective is to test out a bunch of the new careers I made, I do want peeps to have fun akin to Scarface meets James Bond with near limitless options. And for other peeps, recruitment is still open. There's still plenty of space for peeps. You can find all the info in:https://mega.nz/file/ouBF2LLB#tFmXpsdvKA3M6c_aopuJC8Wj1zu_IIDc_5S6rK_Va5A

If the Salamanders are the nicest Loyal chapter who is the nicest Traitor chapter? Who causes the least problems when they invade?
>>97834347An invasion is a pretty big problem. Also note that Traitors don't have chapters, they have warbands, which are almost infinitely less organized and usually consist of whoever the hell the man in charge can bludgeon into following him.If I had to make a guess, though, I'd say a very particular type of Word Bearer, one which lands on-planet, conveniently fails to mention his treasonous behavior or attitude toward the Emperor, and basks in the adulation of the local populace that one of the Emperor's Angels has arrived. They will then slowly convert the populace and undermine authorities, or convert the authorities and sacrifice the populace, or whatever the hell they decide to do with a planet. Probably try to fortify it against Imperial forces, likely as a staging point for future actions.All of these possibilities do still count as problems, though. That kind of comes with being invaded.
>>97834347Maybe Alpha Legion? Their usual tactics involve a single squad to infiltrate a planet and then begin a cult. This is only nice in the sense that it's on a much longer scale and starts out much smaller. By the time the cults in full swing though, all hell is breaking loose and all manner of sacrifice and debauchery is being carried out in the name of Chaos.
>>97834347I really like the Lewis gun pan magazine look and wish it was used more for more guns.
>>97832959There's still plenty of space to apply in the next two days! You can find all the info in:https://mega.nz/file/ouBF2LLB#tFmXpsdvKA3M6c_aopuJC8Wj1zu_IIDc_5S6rK_Va5A

>>97837494Is he the only Space Marine to have a beard apart from Space Wolves? And why are Dwarves still excluded from the Imperial Guard? They will be a nice addition to an army of Ogryns when fighting Kroot and Vespidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbcVb7LZ7nk
>>97835983How many have you gotten so far?
>>97835983Man I hope I didn't miss anything out like a pillock, I'm hoping to get some non-standard storytelling going
>>97838040I think there's three submissions right now, but one has more stringent times than the other two. I have space for four peeps total, so there's still time.>>97838076Yeah, we'll see how things go, there's still a day or so for peeps to throw their hats in.
>>97835983I have been intrigued by your games for years now and used your splatbooks for at least as long. Even got the chance to give you some feedback over that time (e.g. Artillery Ranges)I would love nothing more than join, but my schedule will most likely prevent me. Hopefully we'll get another splatbook out of this at least.
>>97838300Damn, times have changed, huh? Used to be you had to beat people off with a stick.
>>97832797rogue trader anyone got rules for implementing space marines in planetary wars and boarding actions?
>>97838411BFK p.124>If Space Marines are acquired, they are considered Elite Heavy Infantry with a total Power Level of 20 and a Morale of 100. In addition, as each Space Marine is the match for many regular soldiers, a Space Marine unit’s Unit Strength is equal to five times the normal number of Space Marines in the unit.
>>97838411Battlefleet Koronus p. 124
>>97838411Page 127 of battlefleet koronus they're Elite.
>>97838367It's a bunch of things. It's an ancient system. A bunch of my regulars have family or job responsibilities now. Peeps are more selective. The end result is yeah, times change.
>>97838470Well, hope your game gets off the ground. Seems like a fun campgain.
>>97835983I will not join because I cannot guarantee I will receive a valid experience that hews close to the expectations provided by Games Workshop and the writers of the game.
>>97838749silence, fagif I knew I could commit for almost a year for a timeslot outside of my timezone I would join up in a heartbeat
>>97838749I'm pretty sure you can explicitly guarantee the opposite of that, and it'll probably be closer to the initial design intent of 40k than anything geedubs has put out within the last decade.Now if it ain't for you, shut up and ignore it like the rest of us or run your own game.
>>97838749
>>97838773>>97838785>>97838848cringey uncs don't even realize how fucked up they are nowadays
>>97838470I'd join, but I'm running both Dark Heresy and Deathwatch at the same time, so I'm fully booked for time. I will tell you thanks for all the brew you've made, though - it's been fantastic for brainstorming.
>>97839657I do seek some recommendations though - has anyone statted Nanyte weapons in the FFG systems?
>>97839667nanyte blaster in GBAL
>>97839692Thanks, anon. Much appreciated.
As I understand it, any psyker could technically maintain consciousness and coherence in the warp after death as a soul and reincarnate themselves. The problem is that they don't really have access to a body, and, oh yeah, demons immediately start chewing on the nice soul that turned up in their hellscape and didn'thave the good sense to gutter out like most souls. Is that about the size of it?
>>97838440>>97838437>>97838436Thx, but for boarding and as enemies/PCs?
>>97840210https://www.40krpgtools.com/bestiary/Sort by Space Marine in the Type column, then order by Affiliation. That'll get you statblocks and where to find them.I'm not really sure what you mean by how to use them in a boarding action, care to elaborate?
>>97840220Boarding actions in rogue trader
>>97832797Is a chapter siege captain an extra responsibility put one one of the ten masters of the chapter or is it a full extra captain?
>>97840712Apparently this plus a +10 to boarding actions is as close as we can get to official rules for 'em.
What happens to Space Marines that go AWOL? Use Ultra Marines as an example since they are the baseline for most. Say during a battle an Ultra Marine witnesses his best friend die to a traitor marine. The Ultra Marine leaves his post/mission to go hunt down the one who killed his friend, does so, then comes back. What happens next?
>>97843380No book, a guy I know spent some time talking to the original designers and had a glance at the prototype for what then became BFK. Didn't make the editing pass I guess.
>>97835983Bumping for posterity.
>>97843368Anyone found abandoning their duty is going to be killed. I can't see any part of the Imperium being more lenient.
>>97846277Some Space Marine chapters can be pretty lenient. Going lone wolf to succesfully kill a CSM and coming back could be a death sentence for chapters that view it as directly abandoning their duties or disobeying orders, or it could mean a century in penitence, a simple black mark on their record, or it could mean an implied commendation and a tacit acceptance in chapters with a more flexible view on deployment structure. Him being successful makes it a lot easier to brush off the harsher punishments. It's kind of Lukas' whole schtick, though that is the Space Wolves.
Not quite on topic but WH40K adjacent because it's about a ripoff: Is space king just for people who are like 30IQ points short of getting into 40k? Every time I see a SK screenshot on any board it is paired with the stupidest dogshit I have read all day and I am trying to understand why it attracts knuckle draggers.
>>97846338If they have more leeway with their mission objectives then it's not abandoning their duty or going AWOL though. Taking initiative against orders is more likely to be judged by how effective they were.
>>97846551It's the new TTS, communication through memes which loses all nuance for mass appeal.
>>97846551It's for people who read 1d4chan articles and don't cringe even a little. Flashgitz animations were really funny to me when I was 12, but SK makes me feel embarrassed just watching it by myself.
>>97832959The deadline has passed. I initially had three applicants. However, one rescinded their application over the weekend, as their schedule suddenly changed, and the times they gave were no longer valid. That left only two peeps, which isn't enough to start a new series. Rather than extend the deadline, what I am going to do is wait a month or so, and use that time to better prepare for the series, and review / improve the careers that seemed popular, making sure their mechanics are properly phrased and potentially add some new stuff. That way, peeps who already applied can have something to look forward to when application times roll around again. I will try again to dredge peeps in the future, and hopefully we will have more luck.>>97838339>Hopefully we'll get another splatbook out of this at least.While much of this is to test the reworks for the new xenos careers, a bunch of things will likely end up in Anarchy in the Galaxy.
>>97850224Damn, I woke up all excited for this today. Oh well, maybe next time. Do you want some proofreading done for Fringe is Yours? I noticed some scuffage when I was going through it. Off the top of my head I remember the Wych gets a "Best- Good-Quality Wychsuit", Kabalite has no base Command but gets Command +10 later, the bottom two lines of Sslyth's gear is cut off, some nonexistant weapon qualities like Enfeebling and Excrutiating. Stuff like that.
>>97850266Noted. I'll try to look into those typos and what the fuck happened with Enfeeble, but Excruciating is an official quality (Targets damaged by a weapon with this trait must pass a -10 WP or T test (target's choice) or be stunned for one round.)
>>97850359Oh, doi, it's spelled ExcruTiating in Fringe so I just searched for that in other books. Lemme know if you want a more thorough pass, it'll gimme something to do with my time now.
>>97850266>proofreading.shaslol, lmao
>>97850224That's a damned shame. Unironically I never got the urge or inkling to play a DEldar, but the more I thought about the Wych from the Cult of Pain Eternal the more I got super excited and it seemed like the perfect place to do it. Guess I'l just get more characters ready for next time
Is there a full list of psyker talents and psyker specific gear anywhere for the FFG rpgs?
>>97850224Which characters were popular?
>>97851229One guy was Sslyth, T'au, and Drukhari (Sslyth main)Another was T'au, Drukhari, and Kroot (T'au main)"The last was Sslyth and two Drukhari (Drukhari main).A varied showing, with favor shown towards Drukhari.
>>97851445I don't get sslyth, what's the draw other than 'tempramental vishu wannabe'? There's barely anything expanding on their stuff
>>97851876Visually and thematically, I just think they're cool. Mechanically, I gravitate towards beefy bruisers and tanks who can shrug off gruesome hits for their allies, especially if they're monsters or off-humans like Ogryn, and they're fairly potent blenders on top of that.
>>97850872Liber imperium
I know most folks brew volkite as 'if your hit damages, roll another hit' but wouldn't it be far simpler to just say they deal 2x damage after reduction from armor and toughness? It's effectively the same but more streamlined. Thoughts, arguments for and against, wording improvements?
>>97851876Furries don't need much other than "looks like an animal"
Whats archaeotech power armor exactly rogue trader i mean
>>97853089Do you mean artificer armor? It's in Faith & Coin.
>>97853089>>97853130
>>97852580The extra hit is amazing because it not only triggers abilities that work off hits, like archmilitant's weapon master, it acts as an extra chance to cause righteous fury.
>>97853344You can get some from the random treasure generator in stars of inequity
I awoke from a night of troubled dreams and thought "What if you could do Watership Down or The Call of the Wild in 40k?"Behold! Untitled Animal Book, which lets you play Only War as a literal dog or cat or mouse or mustelid of your choice, or replace your Comrades with a wide variety of animals both friendly or otherwise.https://www.mediafire.com/file/s46ffxjisnjfnqe/Untitled_Animal_Book_0.2.pdf/file
We pedobait a pedonoble with the jailbait crackolyte waiting in the secluded and deserted balcony area, while Galen hides behind a statue ready to Chris Hanson this noble.Callidia tf2_spy_seduces the noble, offering things I cringe too hard to repeat, but mainly a supply of kids to be diddled in exchange for being introduced to the pleasure cult. This because he turned out to be the only lead towards sinderfell that whore.>"The Crimson Countess will love you!">crimson cunt is an alias of sinderfell>we fucking got his ass>sign galen to grab this guy from behind, the jig is up.Finally some good, true to the God-Emperor, classic inquisitorial interrogation, while Koba (Epstein's drunkest apprentice) squirms under the iron grip of 60 ST belonging to Galen.>angry noble isnt cooperating>Galen says he'll start removing fingers>Callidia proceeds to cut the man's arm off at the elbow, using his own power sword.>"I see, today I play the good Arbites." - Galen>Koba just manages to not pass out from the fatigue/shock of sudden amputation>Cellanus casts Dejavu on him and makes him relive the amputation>koba passes out lmaoThe crackolytes drag him away to a corner and slap him awake, he gets more cooperative once Callidia places the blade between his fingers and moves it down inbetween the metacarpals. Koba starts spilling all the secrets.Turns out he continues to be a fraud, doesnt even know sinderfell directly, he's just a rich retard drinking the hedonistic doosmday koolaid. At least he gives us the location of the next pleasure party where that bitch sinderfell is gonna be.The beloved God-Emperor's Holy Inquisition thanks him for his cooperation, he manages to freak out just a little before Galen was signaled to turn his neck 360 degrees. Koba's body was tossed over the balcony, from the hive spire. Cellanus pocketed the man's rings and fancy necklace.cont-
>>97854127The crackolytes get a voxcaall from Jack (plot twist, the 2 jacks previously seen that night were fakes. Damn you Revelator!)Jackie is in the highborn daycare two 40k floors down, barricading himself against Pilgrims of Hayte. The crackolytes climb down the balcony and get there through a window, moderatelly risking TPK as we noticed our colective Climb skill is under 20 and we dont have the grapples and drop harnesses.We all make the checks first try, the emperor protects.FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING COMBAT. FINALLY WE CAN KILL HERETICS.And we do, Callidia casts:>Wrath of the Righteous>Divine Guidance>The Passion Yep, it's divinely killing time. The crackolytes bulldoze the heretics and are nearly unscathed, since they only managed to land a hit for 1 single wound on Galen even after surrounding him and one shotgun blast on Callidia. Hower she is divinely protected and the one who wronged her, got a blessed inferno bolt shell to the head for the highest effect on the Explosive Critical Wound to the Head table. Reduced to nothing and his ammo/frags cooked off to blow up his allies.This combat I also learned the danger of standing in point blank range and shooting heretics in the head with a bolt pistol.Other than that, the GM was left in disbelief as the heretics could not touch us, even with scatter properties, then when Callidia rolled a 99 and still hit a headshot.Cellanus and Galen also got to explode people using their power swords.Combat over, we check on the kids. Meaning we bully the highborn brats and even bitchslap some, until one little girl drops a piece of information that makes the whole mystery piece together. She said her father is going to that pleasure party tommorrow.But we talked to her father, Hector something, patriarch of a minor noble house who collects Astartes relics. He's a pious man who said he has no interest in pleasure cults and debauchery...Galen wisdommogs us in picrel
>>97854263>then when Callidia rolled a 99 and still hit a headshotRolls of 96+ autofail. Even if you have a best quality weapon, you only avoid the jam, not the miss.
>>97854263We lock the kids back in the daycare before enforcer reinforcements show up, climb back up into the balcony and check with our two nobles for updates.The party is over and people are finally leaving, Hector was the one who insisted on ending the event and the first to gtfo.OhGalen full sprints through the ballroom to reach him, Callidia makes the terrible mistake of hesitating on her hunches, theories and suspicions, causing her to not instantly follow Galen. Some enforcers try to stop him, they even try to gun him down, they fail.Galen reaches Hector just before he gets on his hovercar, he asks if Hector can take us with him to the party as reward for saving his daughter. He says he'd love to have us with him! Tells Galen to go back and let us know.>Galen fails a willpower check and a fate rerollGalen casually walks back and informs us when we meet halfway. He snaps out of the trance when he gets near the blank.Callidia tries full sprinting in a last Hail Mary to reach Hector, even has a sick one liner in mind. But it's too late, Hector sees her rapidly approaching and skidaddles, shooting her with some bullshit autohit warp staff and saying he'll see her later.>the last thing before session end is him revealing himself as the revelatorREVELATOOOORRRRRRRRRR I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!we are also killing sinderfell tommorrow
>>97854292I knew Callidiaplayer was a dirty cheater. Off to Repentia legions with her!
>>97854292And a 94-100 if it's semi or full auto
>>97854292>>97854333>>97854337Ch-chotto matte a minute anons!The GM said >because the Scar of Faith is Best Quality, it cannot Jam. >And because your target was 100 and you rolled 99, because you don't jam, the attack resolves normally>meaning it's a hitI didn't know of this rule! I just went with what the GM ruled! Do not put me in the Anchorite! I am innocent!After consulting him he said "I recognize the rule but I think it’s retarded."
>>97854619Truly your GM is the Emperor's finest
>>97854619It's the funniest shit when it happens tho
>>97854619>I am innocent!Innocence proves nothing
>>97854692Yeah, watching someone with a total skill of 90, roll two 100's and a 97, right after another is amazing.
>>97853945It's also a strictly worse Storm as executed. I feel like it should be a more unique mechanic than that.
>>97850872I have a kinda scuffed list of talents I can give you, nothing shareable unfortunately. A lot of the ones at the top are from Dark Heresy and thus aren't ported forward into the rest of the system. Also, the descriptions are summaries of what they did at their first appearance, my errata data is cut off and it also wouldn't be super useful for you. Just use the names and sources to look them up and read the actual wording and not my bad summaries.
>>97851876>what's the draw other than 'tempramental vishu wannabe'?"ssssaaaar, do not sssstep, i am doing the needful ssssaaaar..."
>>97854883It's better than storm. With storm, the hits can be dodged or shielded against. These extra hits happen after reactions and shields, so the enemy just has to take them, and they're easy enough to trigger.
>>97855428Storm is extra hits always. The usual Deflagrate rule is only extra hits sometimes. You have an equal chance to dodge and/or shield against an attack from a Storm weapon as you do the initiating attack from a volkite weapon, and if you don't score those initial hits both guns do nothing.The key difference I notice is that for Storm, you get an extra hit regardless of whether you breach the enemy's armor, and for Deflagrate, instead of rolling all dice at once you have to roll for damage, check it against the target's soak, then roll damage for the new hits.It just feels like extra bookkeeping.
>>97855128I'd also take that if you don't mind mate, I've never had a crack at psychic powers yet but probably going to have to when I do another wargear vault or xenos-minoris homebrew
>>97855629The image I posted is the whole list. That's a list of more or less every talent that deals with psychic powers from the FFG games. I haven't collated psychic powers fully, and the actual spreadsheet is a mess because it's full of homebrew rules and in progress edits and errata collations. Specifically talents, though. If it was listed as a trait, I likely left it off, and there's no gear.
Do Necron have the technology to create false human bodies? I want to do an infiltration arc but genestealers are too played out.
>>97855752Yes. Trazyn and Orikan do it in Infinite and Divine.They holographically change themselves into two old human men.
>>97855770These ones?
>>97855752This is a major plot point in Xenology. Guy grew a meat suit around his necrodermis for nefarious purposes.
A buddy of mine made a public discord server for getting people together for Black Crusade games, but in general, all 40k RPGs are welcome. If that interests anyone, I'll leave a link.https://discord.gg/d5zkVNsEvF
>>97854322>sinderfell namek continuesStill, at least you got to kill SOMEONE.
>>97854692Nah, this is retarded.>>97858864one noble and around 10 hereticsthe bloodlust is satednow we have new dude to kill as sidequest>>97854709>spoiler
>>97859829The rule was meant to add some risk and avoid autohitting because of how high bonuses get. You can already autododge with stacking bonuses since skill tests don't autofail, autohitting on top makes it stop being a game and turns it into an autosuccess kinetic novel.
Does anyone have a link to an archive for the old "Reclaiming the Light of Terra" thread from the old FFG forums? Looks like it was deleted before the mirror went up, and the Wayback Machine is being stubborn today.
>>97860896I found the dead original link:http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efid=159&efcid=3&efidt=610162&efpag=0#612764which looks like it's pointing to thread #610162, but searching it on the entropicdreams site brings up nothing.
>>97860952Found it. It wasn't a thread, but a reply to one. For posterity:https://ffg-forum-archive.entropicdreams.com/topic/59810-ideas-for-salvaging-the-light-of-terra/
I'm running a game that involves an Inquisitor spying on an area with a red light district. Without going into the Magical Relm what kinds of fetishes would exist in 40K? I'm trying to find something unique that would exist there. Somewhat related YouTube poop:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kTuMsMgUPs8
>>97862320There are no fetishes because there is no sex in 40k. People manifest purpose-formed by author fiat, and even those who love each other don't love each other more than they love the Emperor, as shown by the in-universe novel "My desire to create children with you is exceeded by my devotion to Him". Thus, fetishes would apply to the God-Emperor, and that would be weird.
>>97846551Space King is for people who want a break from 40k and can take a joke.
>>97862320Give more details on the planet.
>>97862553>who want a break from 40kBut it IS 40k.
>>97846551It's just a crass comedy making fun of 40k and similar EVIL BAD FUTURE HEAVY METAL ALBUM COVER properties. It's not my speed but I can see why people would find it really funny if it matches their sense of humor.The reason you see a bunch of clips and screenshots from it has nothing to do with its quality, it's just a continuation of the trend of unfunny, unclever people attaching things they think are funny and clever to their content because they think it works transitively to make what they say relatable and good.
>>97860449
>>97862320It's got a lot to do depending on the planet, but a sure-fire guess is that in red-light districts, they fetishize the Imperial Cult. Strippers with not-quite fleur de lis tattoos, gachimuchi guys in mock-Astartes armour, maybe even a market for coggirls and boys. Of course, there's a minor chance that the costumed "Magos Biologis" is for real and is there to take samples of the local population. And then there's the illegal stuff that the rich are about, or the really messed up. Like mutant babes with three tits, "Elves", beastmen/women, the nobles having a thriving market for the truly depraved shit, certain groups outright vat-growing or augmenting people with better flesh to satisfy better. That's just the general stuff, the specific planet probably has worse or something more unique to it.
>>97863354>gachimuchi guys in mock-Astartes armour> there's a minor chance that the costumed "Magos Biologis" is for real and is there to take samples of the local population.
>>97863354>>97863361>gachimuchi guys in mock-Astartes armorASS WE CAN, BROTHERS
>>97862320Brothels full of servitors, genestealers, abhumans, crippled factory workers, IG vets. Famulous or biologis honeypots. One has a real life daemonette that needs a right seeing to by the Emperor's holiest cocks, another actually has a daemonette.
>>97863548Have you got an origin profile for Korst'la Tau yet?
>>97863582Basically. It's in the Project ND recruitment document. You basically get a bunch of underworld stuff like ciphers and peer underworld (and can advance them), can pay Profit Factor to rez instead of Fate Point, and it acts as an augment to an existing origin for a bunch of races (so you make your normal origin path, then you slap the House stuff on top of it). It's a bit loaded right now, since I included a few talents like Hotshot Pilot which will be useful for the series but won't be in the final version. The link still works if you want to give it a once-over - when I try recruiting again in early-mid May, it may be useful to have.
>>97863548Sanguinius, is that you?
>>97863624>can pay Profit Factor to rez instead of Fate PointThat's an amazing ability
>>97863685It makes sense that a Rogue Trader would have all kinds of whack tech that might allow that kind of shit to happen. In universe the DEldar do it all the time anyway, and this campaign is meant to be one for them yeah?
>>97863685It's based off the mechanic from Black Crusade where you rez yourself with your infamy. Here, it scales based on your Rank, so a rank 2 character pays 2 PF to rez, and a rank 8 pays 8 to rez, representing it taking more resources and a more comprehensive healthcare insurance plan to restore someone stronger, as well as providing a scaling factor throughout the game matching one's expected PF gains. That way, dying sucks, but as long as you manage your finances, it's not too bad of an issue.>>97863707Yes, that's how the fluff for the ability works. If you die, you get better by Drukhari methods.
>>97863736>dying sucks, but as long as you manage your finances, it's not too bad of an issueThis is the most capitalist thing I've heard in a long time.
>>97863736Also room for plot hooks of "Hey your local Haemonculus is demanding more payment/favors in exchange for bringing you back next time, might want to help him out with X" if needed
>>97863736I like that. It should allow your dudes to take cooler and riskier actions if they aren't forced to permanently burn a fate for it.
>>97863802I use a variant homebrew where I simply reflavor Infamy into Fate as a characteristic. You roll your starting amount just like Black Crusade, with Voidborn and others that get bonus Fate Points getting a free +5 to the starting amount. However, I cap your available Fate Points at 3, with the cap increased by abilities that would increase your Fate Points in the base game. The absolute maximum your Fate Threshold can be is 6, so if your Fate increases above 60, it's completely pointless and you should start burning it. I find it makes players more aggressive and generally speeds up play, plus I let them burn it to create retroactive details, which plays well in my group that likes to plan heists, but then have to scramble to compensate for things they forgot.

>>97864545I came to the realization a while ago that as the Ecclesiarchy are the ones in control of producing and controlling media, they'd also be the ones that produce pornography. A sleezy preacher turned porno producer skirting a thin line between duty and heresy as he films a series starring a fake Sororitas "Sister Sin" has lived in my head since.
>>97864584In the same way that Disney famously produce porn specifically for distribution?No, dude. That's gonna have two forms. One, hive scum good at sketching will draw lewd comics with grease pens on spare parchment, which will be passed around like magazines of old. Two, rich nobles will commission extravagant paintings of themselves and/or others nude.
Which books in the FFG chain contain the coolest and most esoteric archeotech.Im trying to make a cool villain for a deathwatch game and i want him to be a regular human with superior gadgets.
>>97864646Disney doesn't control all media. The Ministorum does. Porn is just another vector of control over the masses.
>>97864798nta but they control all media in the same way that prohibition controlled all alcohol distribution. hive gangs and clever businessmen definitely have their own rings of porn distribution
>>97862320>>97863354Not sure if Ecclesiarchy/Astartes themed fetish content wouldn't be considered too blashemous, but there are DEFINITELY admech fetishists in 40k. Probably more general augment fetishists as well
My Deathwatch campaign is FINALLY starting this weekend after over a month of delay, I'm fucking hyped boys
>>97865925Whether it's considered too blasphemous is irrelevant, anon. What the Ecclesiarchy doesn't know about they can't stop, and if the Imperial Cult is part of life for just about the entire Imperium, you bet your ass some part of it will fetishize it, and there is no stopping it.
>>97865932I hope you have a normal game where the themes of 40k are strictly enforced and the rules are correctly followed.
>>97866102>themes of 40k are strictly enforcedI guess.I try to keep the games I run lore-accurate and in tone with FFG rulebooks and other stuff most would consider "typical" 40k - I mean, that's what we're playing a 40k game for. But I don't hate on people who want something less standard especially if they are already veterans of "generic" games. Unless it's just some dumb memefest>rules are correctly followed.The only thing I'm slightly adjusting is access to chapter specific squad modes, since I want the kill-team to actually get some use out of them, but one of sourcebooks even suggests that as an optional rule. Other than that I don't plan any homebrew, but I'll have one completely new player so I will probably be slightly more lenient with less crucial rules for him for the first session or two. >inb4 baitYeah, whatever, felt like replying
>>97865785Sure, I don't doubt that there is successful if dubiously legal distribution of media outside of what the state produces. I don't think that the Ministorum would actually have a problem with producing and distributing porn and other "sinful" and inappropriate materials. They're not the Catholic church, and we can already infer a large part of the entertainment market they produce is effectively snuff. A big draw of pilgrimages to shrine worlds is watching heretics publicly humiliated, tortured, and murdered.
>>97865932We're so happy for you, gameanon
>>97865932Hope you have fun, anon! On behalf of both my Dark Heresy group and my Deathwatch group, may your game be good.
>>97864545That's my GM!>>97864646The Hive Scum in Darktide has a tattoo option of a Sororitas praying. It looks pretty cute even.In that sense there would be quite a lot of tattoos, even Yakuza style ones of nude Sororitas. Likely pinups or battle worn.And yeah definitely some gifted dude drawing porn on a dataslate and sharing/selling.Same thing would happen in the guard regiments, just like it happens in the military irl.>commission extravagant paintings.It is a flex to hold a dinner with a huge painting of yourself naked by the table. Even bigger flex with naked paintings or statues of your guests too, depending on how accurate you get.>>97865785>>97864798I can see ministorum making some sanctioned porn that has the climax associated to Big E in some way.The Imperium cult isn't sex puritan like Christianity >sororitas don't take chastity vows yadda yaddaBut the point is that they if they do, it would have to be in a way that doesn't degrade astartes or sororitas. And that's pretty hard, because otherwise people would actually respect prostitutes and OF whores.>>97865932Congrats anon! I hope you have fun and the game lasts long!
>>97867019>>97867122>>97867429Thank you kindly, may your games be memorable and free of scheduling issues
>>97867429That's not your GM.
How do you think the setting would go if all the xenos died? Would the Imperium fall into chaos and die without something to rally against?
>>97868490We have an impostor amidst our ranks!
>>97868490Could have fooled me!
>>97869171They already devolve into infighting and chaos worship at the drop of a hat. All the internal problems the Imperium currently has would just get worse.
>>97867429>it would have to be in a way that doesn't degrade astartes or sororitasTangentially related, there's been one or two lines within codices that make me wonder if the authors were implying that the Orders Hospitaller might engage in some kind of prostitution. I don't think they actually were, but it's neat to think about ways in which the Imperium doesn't necessarily operate how you'd expect from aesthetics alone.
>>97871059I'm curious on those lines and codexes. The Famulous are the ones seeing as leather clad whores but if Hospitallers are prostitutes, Callidianon is cooked.>the Imperium doesn't necessarily operate how you'd expect from aesthetics alone.Which it is at large, since you'd expect catholicism but its very much only taking the aesthetics
>>97872775Even outside that, Callidia sexed a Feudal Worlder, had another Acolyte plan to take her forcibly, and had a bitchass noble try and talk her into going to a sex party. She's always been cooked.
>>97872778She is sexo on legs
>>97872885Her bodytype is canonically "lusty".
>>97872775>>97872778We actually had a sororita PC in one of our DH campaigns who was an ex junkie and prostitute who decided to change her ways and serve the Emperor... for the most partNot sure how lore-friendly this was really, but it definitely led to some cool interactions. You don't usually expect the sister to be the most competent party member at social interactions with hive gangers
>>97873117AFAIK all Sororitas are from the Schola so that wouldn't work, but I'm still glad you had some cool stuff from it, Anon.
>>97873117Sisters are all from the Progenium. Some form of non-Sororitas penitent would fit, someone who goes to the Ecclesiarchy and does a decade of penance and comes out purified and willing to serve, but with the background and connections to serve where it matters. It's a fun idea though.
Can you make a combat servitor out of an astartes/Primaris? What about astropaths?
>>97873586Yes
Given that the Tyranid hive mind is self aware and fully conscious do you think its possible for it to fall to chaos?
>>97874041No
>>97874053Damn. I wanted to run a game about an Inquisitor and a Librarian working to stop that from happening.
>>97874041Yes
>>97874041That's like asking if Gork and Mork can fall to Chaos. These are powers that rival the chaos gods. Anyway, yeah they can.
>>97874312To expand, you have to keep in mind that a hive-mind is not one being, but the gestalt culmination of many smaller beings. The intertwining of souls that make up a hive-mind make each tiny individual soul strengthened by the others, and thus more dependent on the whole. This dependency is what makes it resilient from outside psychic influence, and also what led to the tyranids' current sorry fate. It's in effect one big net in the warp that pushes around psychic energy as opposed to getting co-contaminated by it. However, the net is still composed of individual fibers, and is ever incorporating new fibers into its being. We know that the souls of humans are particularly susceptible to the wills of chaos, and as more human souls become part of the tyranid whole, this means that the hive-mind is becoming weaker to chaos influence. This isn't to mention what would happen if the hive-mind were to for some reason consume a large quantity of already corrupted souls, it would be like fighting an infection that it does not have the ability to actually win. The only question is how it could be tricked into incorporating so much corruptive influence. The tyranid is intelligent enough to avoid corruption as it sees the potential threat innate to its being, but the thing with chaos is that it's sly, eternal, and only needs to win once.
>>97874462I'd like to see a source for a single one of these claims. Every single element of this post appears wrong.
>>97874475Can you actually make a counter claim, or are you just mad that it doesn't align to your pre-conceived notion of how tyranids work?
>>97874520Pre-concieved by reading the actual game codexes, yes.
>>97874540Same here, now go reread them, and also go reread the core rulebooks and go reread the White Dwarf articles and go reread the board game rulebooks.
>>97874475Every post since bumpfag came in here has been dogshit. The one and only time we see the warp having any effect on the tyranid hivemind was during the Devastation of Baal, when the entire galaxy's ass cheeks were rent asunder. In the absence of the culmination of ten thousand years of galactic suffering finally giving way, the Shadow in the Warp serves as incredibly effective insulation against malefic energies.>>97874462The assumption that the hive mind eats human souls and is thus slowly being tainted by them is wildly nonsensical. Your soul doesn't matter to the nids. Nid souls only matter to the nids as a medium through which the hive mind's desires can be enforced. Your body gets chewed on and then dumped into a digestive vat, where it becomes slurry. Your soul gets kicked out into the warp, which is full of the psychic emanations of the hive mind's hunger instead of daemons. Thus, instead of having your essence devoured by daemons, you dissolve into raw warpstuff and your component thoughts and emotions scatter into infinity, soon to clump together with others of their kind and either form or empower brand new daemons somewhere very far away from Galactic Pacman.
>>97874632Souls are part of the slurry, it's through souls that the ancient tyranids powered and commanded their original bio-constructs. That human essence isn't being shot into the wider warp like normal, it's being consumed into the tyranid over soul. Human souls are converted into tyranid soul stuff, sure, but we've yet to see what effect this might have over the hive-minds. Tyranid souls matter to the hive-mind because each one composes the hive-mind. "Hive" being the key word here.
>>97874676Now I ain't gonna straight up call bullshit there, hoss, because that sounds just enough like some kind of ridiculous horseshit a crap writer would try to shoehorn in to leave a thin veneer of legitimacy to your statement.But I am gonna tell you that you can either give me a source on that or fuck right off with your lousy headcanon.
>>97874707Here's about the oversoul being composed of non-tyranids as well. Stuff about ancient tyranids comes from scattered sentences through various sources, you can look for it yourself.
>>97875177And was this back when Zoats were still tyranid diplomats, or is it actually applicable to the modern interpretation of nids?
>None of the PCs speak High Gothic>Whenever they encounter a text or conversation in High Gothic I just deliver it to the players in Latin>They love it so much they refuse to learn HG even when given a chance And they told me learning a dead language would be useless
>>97875252King shit. Wish I had bothered trying to learn when I was in college just to bust out things. For the time being web translated old german is working for my WFRP group whenever they come across ancient undead, or latin for classical.
>>97875252I tried using other languages in some series, where if the players didn't know the language, I would sub in a separate one. For instance, necron used egyptian arabic text, or aeldari would get old irish, etc. The issue was some peeps would just run it back through a translator to figure it out, making it redundant. My most recent series had a small tribe of shipwrecked mechanicum adepts who had crashed on the planet during the Heresy, and thus their language diverged greatly, so I used the abyss language from Made in Abyss which couldn't be translated through google automatically. Not even Polyglot could make sense of it since it was a unique isolate. They ended up relying on one NPC to translate for the other because they opted not to spend the time to learn it themselves.
>>97875317I imagine OP actually speaks the language with his mouth hole instead of typing it out to be copy/pasted.
>>97875369Yeah, I figured. We all make do with what we can.
>>97875277Thanks! I had some Latin classes in middle and high school, but we never managed to actually learn very much. Few years back I randomly found my old textbooks though and decided to give it a shot on my own. It was a surprisingly fun and satisfying experience, Latin is a beautiful language really. >old german is working for my WFRP groupWFRP is the only thing that ever managed to make me appreciate German or make it sound cool>>97875317Very nice, might steal this solution for other races or weird dialects of Low Gothic>>97875369Well yeah, or with physical handouts. I also used to give distorted gibberish texts versions of regular handouts to players with illiterate PCs. Loved seeing their reaction.
>>97875619That sounds like some really fun shit man. I speak only bits of a number of languages so never enough to properly appreciate them, but I keep meaning to go back through my old books and see if I get it better now.>used to give distorted gibberish texts versions of regular handouts to players with illiterate PCsThere was a running gag of the main "talker" in my group (Ex-outlaw Norscan) being the one to actually do a lot of the digging for leads on jobs and investigations but then having to pass over all letters and documents to my group's wizard apprentice who she was bodyguarding because the Norscan couldn't read.
Can I get away with having a Mechanicus force lead by Secutarii or are they exclusively for babysitting titans/all died in the heresy?
>>97878184If you try to do anything outside of the norm, ADB will personally break into your house, kill your players, burn your game materials, and give your pet daddy issues.
>>97878244Remember, if a wild ADB sneaks into your home, chant "No, no, ADB! Daddy issues not for me!" while holding up your copy of your BRB, and this will repulse the creature back to the sewers from which it crawled. This also works for any secondaries you may encounter.
>>97875252Did the same, but French was High Gothic (playing with Anglos)
>>97878244If ADB were in my presence he would see all the Lilith blowjob pics I've genned and simply spontaneously combust.
I know that GW is bad with numbers and scale but they also seem to be bad a consistency. How strong is your average suit of Space Marine armor? How much damage can their armor really take? They seem to be able to block a tank round but not an Orc's ax.
Recommendations on Dark Heresy premade games?
>>97879871Marines in the rpgs get liquefied by a Leman Russ's main battlecannon. They might get lucky if the tank rolls all ones, but average is 26 damage pierce 8 blast 10. Which a Marine player MIGHT survive if they have loads of extra wounds and toughness, but generally right out the resin pc marines don't do well.
>>97879871>>97881557One should also be aware that an Ork's Choppa can be hitting with incredible force, Nobz swinging a Big Choppa hit with roughly the force of a plasma cannon shot.
Midly curious, has anyone ever made a homebrew where the players are from the same space marine chapter? A mono-chapter game where the focus is developing the astartes chapter and climbing the ranks?
>>97884716Sounds like a combo of Deathwatch and Chapter Master.Speaking of, I wonder if that's still kicking around somewhere.
>>97884716That is just deathwatch without the deathwatch extras.
>>97884734Last I heard a new group was updating it but buried it on some Discord just like everything else on the modern internet.
>>97884734https://github.com/Adeptus-Dominus/ChapterMasterYup! Chapter Master still kinda kicking. Someone else picked up the torch.>>97884752I've heard that Deathwatch is not that good for Mono-Chapter games by default. So I was kinda hoping someone had already made a Homebrew that focus on everyone being from the same chapter while still giving it depth.
>>97884760You just make everybody from the same chapter, remove deathwatch training, and the deathwatch advances.
Does anyone have experience with Lathe Factors operating as infiltrators in Dark Heresy? Of particular interest to me are the implications of having "Mechanicus Implants" and other augmetics while being subjected to metal detectors or x-ray machines.Would they automatically pick up concealed augmetics without a check? If not, are there talents, traits, or items that otherwise make bionics less visible explicitly to sensor detection? The wording of "Fabricated Flesh" seems ambiguous as to whether or not it applies to machines doing the searching or just people.
What slang is used by the Space Marines or Guardsmen for their enemies? In Halo the Elites are called "split lips" by the humans and started to wonder about what slang appears in 40K.
>>97884969Foul Xenos is a classic. Fungus, bugs, etc. Bovines for Tau based on the primer.
>>97884969Green skins
I was playing one of the new mission in Space Marine 2 where you blow up the ship in space and had a thought: If their armor is able to let them survive in space how does a flame thrower hurt them? Their armor is sealed up.
>>97885060Please go retake a third-grade lesson on thermodynamics
>>97885060Being sealed doesn't mean that you can't cook something. Look at making baked potatoes with tin foil but apply that to a macro scale.
>>97885060I can't figure out how you think flamers work.
>>97885188I'm gonna take a stab he thinks the flame itself damages your skin via chemical reactions, and some half-remembered factoids about how space is freezingly cold and blindingly hot at the same time (it's not, it's just cold, but the light of stars is much, MUCH stronger than you'd expect due to a lack of atmospheric interference). Therefore, if the armor can keep "space" out, as deadly as it is, then it can keep the deadly "fire" reaction out. He's mostly forgetting that fire does shit because of the heat it emits and the armor would conduct that.
>>97884789How do normal sensors work?
>Deathwatch session>Kill-Team aids a group of Hospitaller Sororitas who's been bravely defending themselves from a heretic onslaught, but were massively overran>The main reason they've managed to survive this long is because one of the sisters received a vision warning her about the incoming attack (as well as a bunch of other plot-relevant stuff), which gave them a time to prepare. Same sister died soon after, heroically sacrificing herself >Other sisters considered her to be a martyr touched by the Emperor himself and consecrated her body, intending to give her a ceremonial burial and probably procure some relics out of her once the fighting is done>The PCs took interest in the clearly revered body and the weird wounds it had>I assumed they would just ask the sisters about it>Instead the Ultramarine PC simply approached the dead martyr and fucking ate her eyeball in front of everyone to learn something about her using the omophageaFucking Astartes man, zero social filter
>>97888970>>Instead the Ultramarine PC simply approached the dead martyr and fucking ate her eyeball in front of everyone to learn something about her using the omophagea>UltramarineI'd expect that sort of behavior from a marines malevolent or flesh tearer
>>97889038Brother Flavius is... not exactly the most stereotypical Ultramarine around. He definitely is VERY proud and competitive when it comes to proving that Ultramarines are the best of them all though. His player directly stated that pic rel is his main character inspiration for him
>>97881500Anything?
>>97888970Honestly the omophagea annoys me a lot; it seems that in Deathwatch every player automatically translates the rule text to "CANNIBALIZE FOES TO READ MINDS" and they don't really think about it beyond that. It short circuits maybe 80% of investigation skills and methods in player's minds.
>>97889728The problem lies with the GM, because as written the Omophagea is one big "mother may I" that relies on the kindness of the GM to get anything, outside of an explicit skill.
>>97889728I honestly just don't like it very much conceptually, it always felt a bit out of place among other Astartes implants. Like, it doesn't really fit their vibe that much. >It short circuits maybe 80% of investigation skills and methods in player's mindsLike the other Anon said, it strongly depends on the GM and personally I also like to give some insanity points for PCs who do it too often or see something very extreme/heretical in the absorbed memories to discourage overusing it. That being said, I think it's actually a pretty good thing to have balance-wise, because Deathwatch players tend to not focus on investigation skills very much when developing their characters (especially if there's no Apothecary/Librarian/Tech-marine present), so using the omophagea is sometimes the only thing that actually allows them to successfully investigate something or learn some important extra info they'd otherwise miss
>>97890065It was probably included to justify the Blood Angel's choice of beverage.
>>97890065>I honestly just don't like it very much conceptually, it always felt a bit out of place among other Astartes implants. Like, it doesn't really fit their vibe that much.>using the omophagea is sometimes the only thing that actually allows them to successfully investigate something or learn some important extra info they'd otherwise missThat is the point of it though?
>>97885351>How do normal sensors work?I imagine that falls under the purview of an auspex, which funnily enough is exactly the same check as patting someone down manually.>may make a Tech-Use Test to use an auspex to spot things not normally detectable to human senses alone
>>97890400>exactly the same check as patting someone down manually
I had an idea of running a game where a group of inquisitors would find out that a world that ships food to an astartes training world are poisoning the food with drugs to try to get them addicted or fall to slaanesh. But I'm getting caught on what drugs would work on them. Given their super human physiology they can process out everything we have in our world from tobacco to heroin. What should I work into this story? I don't know what to add that would work here.
>>97890589Chaos bullshit drugs.
>>97890589First off, you simply have to say "It Just Works". Chaos magic gives you an easy reasoning, but if players ask how, the answer is as above.
Found something hilarious in Imperium Maldictum. Using the new rules you can now customize weapons a LOT more. You have to justify it as not Tech heresy though. But as long as you keep it to one or two changes you should be fine.One such modification is to have it Inflict (Condition) of your choice. The o ly draw back is gaining the Ineffective trait (doubling the armor value against damage)One such Condition is Unconscious, which pretty much immediately shuts you down, no save. And there are a handful of weapons that either ignore all armor by default, or never interact with armor in the first place.Easily the best weapon in the game is a slightly modified Graviton gun
>>97890400Then I'd rule that Factor imposed malus nullifies this bonus so the check is flat. Voilà.
Taking suggestions for the most ridiculous experiments a Mechanicus conclave could conduct on test subjects at a temple dedicated to it as possible. Current ideas are>Seeing if Tyranids can navigate a rat maze if they smell biomass and/or cheese>Testing how long it takes Orkz to die of boredom>Telefragging cultists and cataloguing the patterns they make
>>97891179All of these were done already.>Seeing if Tyranids can navigate a rat maze if they smell biomass and/or cheeseIA4 Anphelion Project>Testing how long it takes Orkz to die of boredomOriginal Xenology>Telefragging cultists and cataloguing the patterns they makeI think one of the abnettverse villains did this
>>97873117>>97873135>>97873159Could be that she was a daughter of some high ranking general in the PDF or Guard who died leading a heroic defence of her planet from an Ork Invasion. But her family home/spire was looted (by Orks, or just regular hive scum) and she ended up lost in the underhive. She was only 7 or 8 at the time and managed to survive for a little bit, but then ended up being taken in by what she thought was a kind older lady, but was actually the madam of a brothel. Sexual and drug abuse followed for the next couple of years, before chance would have it that an Inquisitors retinue passed through. She ended up assisting them during their investigations and when they found out she was the daughter of a slain Imperial hero, they repaid her by taking her away from the horrible life she was living, and putting her in a Schola Progenium
>>97890236Sure, but Astartes were created purely as soldiers for galactic conquest accompanied by other specialists. Deathwatch members have to do some investigative stuff every now and then due to their close cooperation with Inquisition, but that's an exception from the norm, vast majority of Astartes will almost never genuinely need this feature.I meant it more from a meta-perspective though, so to speak, it just never seemed to fit the tone of the Astartes to me. Like, most of their implants just increase their physical capabilities and endurance, which perfectly fits the supersoldier archetype, but "eat a corpse to magically gain its memories" is a type of weirdass ability you would rather expect from some freaky xeno or specialised Assassinorum agent

What do space marines wear when they are off duty? I don't think I've seen any art work of them wearing anything that could be called "casual."
>>97893632Depends on the chapter. You can make a reasonable assumption of generic robes, tunics, tabards, furs, etc. Anything you could imagine some mediterranean commoner wearing a couple thousand years ago. Ultimately they are biological war machines, so casual isn't really in their vocabulary, unless they're a Space Wolf.

Long time GM spreading his wings into the FFG RPGs for the first time (DH2e). In the process of writing a campaign set in the Calixis sector.I've got an encounter after an early arc where the party will have to hitch a voidship ride back to their primary base of operations, with said vessel being infested with a genestealer cult. You know the deal. Fun times for everyone involved. Now, at some point I replayed System Shock 2 and became hyperfixated upon the events and themes that play out in the game, and ended up writing an arc based around it. I'm worried it's too thematically similar to "GSC voidship funtimes" and would love any opinions.>A radical Ordos Xenos Inquisitor's blacksite research vessel retrieves an Abominable Intelligence from a Dark Age of Technology ruins and decides "hell yeah fuck it heresy is good if you can control it">Said AI is slowly granted more access as it proves capable. In its hubris and access to xenotech/xenobiology materials, it decides to stretch its proverbial limbs and create life.>It creates an organism incorporating elements from human and tyranid biology. It evolves, gets a few buddies, and forms a gestalt sentience through a psychic link connecting them.Essentially The Many from SS2>Shit goes tits up aboard the vessel as the ship's Machine Spirit becomes tainted by "the Choir" through psychic bleed.>Containment breach. "the Choir" spreads. The AI barricades and secures itself while sabotaging "the Choir's" attempts to escape the vessel.>Machine Spirit/servitors produce growth vats, life-support cradles with the on-board manufactorums.>Escalators escalate escalations>Party is called in for clean-up & retrieval.Omitting details for brevity. Do you think it's too similar to GSC themes? It mainly differs in the GSC being vent-lurking sneakfucks and "the Choir" being out in the open. Think body horror ramped to 11. Fleshy kudzu, humanoid aberrations, "the walls are screaming", "hope you bought Jaded two sessions ago"

>>97899457Exactly the same but they wore clothes like XVII-century aristocrats and used proper English words like indubitably, henceforth and unequivocal.
>>97899457I think they would still use ramshackle tech and still loot stuff when possible. Being able to turn scrap metal and enemy hulks into deadly weapons and vehicles is part of what lets them snowball so badly. They’d just be bigger, tougher and more cunning.

>>97900566Is the middle one smiling under that moustache?
>>97904578The lore that says they aren't celibate uses plot points that predate Indomitus lore by the way and is the only evidence of such.
>>97904440>Last DLC people bitched that you didn't get the companion early enough. >People dislike when companions are not available soon.It's a valid complaint. I barely ever used HK47 or Jolee in KOTOR, despite wanting to, because depending on planet order, you can potentially get them a step away from the end of the game.
The Mantis Warriors have a noted flaw called the battle haze, which gives them incredible reaction speed and time, at the cost of being unable to notice anything that isn't a target. Is there a pre-existing chapter flaw that could be worked into that? I've been trying to make them in deathwatch, and their primarch's curse & chapter trappings are the final bits I need to do. And speaking of, the chapter is supposed to operate on the fringes of the imperium and are constantly under-strength so wargear is passed down from marine to marine, with each modifying it and adding their own little flourishes. It feels like of underwhelming but would having that, or having the marine modify their own weapon and getting a +3 BS or WS depending on the type work as a chapter trapping?

>>97906260I literally meant that it just got reconned by the time Indomitus came out because it took place in a time period that got replaced by the Crusade as far as I know.
>>97905942I mean, in subsequent playthroughs I could adjust, but when I played through the first couple of times, I went Manaan > Tatooine > Kashyyyk > Korriban and so I was missing those characters for half the game. I just stuck with Bastila and Canderous.
Questions about servitors for an upcoming game I'm thinking about having:1. Where do most of servitors that work aboard the Imperial fleet come from? I know that servitors are either lab grown or made from lobotomized criminals but what is the most common source? 2. What are they fed? Nutrient paste or do they just hook them up to an IV when they are not in use?3. How long do they usually survive on the job?4. When injured on the job with a broken leg do they get immediately replaced or healed? 5. Do servitors still need to use the bathroom?
>>97907070>most common sourceIt depends, either or. Is there a specific reason you need this?>FedI think it is usually some internal reservoir linked directly to the fleshy bits but there are cases of old as fuck servitors still wandering around without apparent maintenance so use whatever you deem appropriate.>How longDepends on the job and how much violence there is in the area>InjuredSpare limbs for servitors should be pretty common if they're of a more common type>BathroomNot unless if this is a pleasure servitor for a highborn with specific fetishes
>>97907070>lab grownWhy do they keep pussing out when it comes to the fucked up things the Imperium does? They also retconned it so that cherubs are always vat-grown.
>>97907070Servitors are basically robocop. What does he eat? Baby food. How do you get more swrvitor material? Dead or dead is crew members. Etc
>>97893632Was reading Fire Warrior today and got an answer to this>Seated enormously on the cold floor, eyes fixed on the miniature shrine devoted jointly to the Emperor and the Ultramarines' Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, Ardias fidgeted distractedly and tried to get comfortable. Divested of his armour and servomusculature he felt slow and ponderous, subject to niggling distractions like the coarseness of his robes and the drafts of his cell.
>>97905626>battle hazeI would just represent it as a trait giving them something like +10 to dodge parry against targets they've attacked in their last turn, but -10 dodge parry against attacks from all other sources and -20 awareness when they are in battle. Of course you can crank those number up if you feel like it.If you want to make a primarch's curse out of this, I would suggest that in later stages of the curse they have to pass an awareness roll first to even be able to attempt a reaction against anyone other then their current primary target>It feels like of underwhelming but would having that, or having the marine modify their own weapon and getting a +3 BS or WS depending on the type work as a chapter trapping?Most chapter trappings give rather minor effects, so I think it's alright. Alternatively you could also allow them to pick one weapon with no renown requirements and low RP cost as a signature weapon, representing whatever was passed down to them
>>97907940They tone it down so normalfags will buy it, since normalfags spend way more than the average fan by sheer numbers.
>>97908187Haven't dressed it up yet but as raw stats how does this seem?

>>97902197Very short version? The Solaris Expanse is where I started hosting many of my recent games. It's set in the Large Magellanic Cloud, connected to the Milky Way by an absolutely ancient webway gate through the Magellanic Stream. Long story short, the first Imperial presence was due to a Crusade chasing down a rogue faction that found an Old Slann superweapon. The Crusade went through said portal, ultimately defeating the heretics and making landfall on a megastructure called Orbis Cradle, capable of creating stars (and responsible for the extreme stellar activity in the Tarantula nebula). This became Orbis Subsector. At this point, the Crusade broke apart - thanks to the players making choices and favoring one side of the crusade over the other, the Crusaders went in opposite directions, one founding the Varitia Sector under the Imperial Truth, and the other the Redentor Sector, under the Imperial Creed. They were making great progress conquering worlds, but were running low on wargear, so the Mechanicus back home sent a delegation and the Mechanicum Demesne was formed around the Forge World of Astrion, the desert moon of a gas giant that once held a living ocean before the War in Heaven. The players of that game ended up not only awakening a long-dormant Old Slann Warrior Servant, thus reactivating the Calibrations of Xholankha, but also ended up causing a massive warp storm known as the Sydian Abyss and sending a sleeping Necron dynasty on the warpath.Other xenos factions also got caught up in things. One biotransferred Star Dragon took his Destroyers and Flayers, and went on the warpath, causing destruction, claiming territory, and kneecapping the pre-existing Necron dynasty until a treaty was approved by the dynast phaerons. There was also a T'au-Drukhari criminal syndicate that started claiming territory after the fact, and was blindsided by Old Slann worlds reactivating all around them, and that's where we are now...
>>97910166The overall vibe of the place is "The Crusades meets the Conquest of the Americas", with the Imperial Crusader States fighting amidst the pyramids and jungles of the Old Slann and the Necrons, while Rogue Traders and other explorators fight each other in the "spice islands" in the periphery.However, it's kind of hard to describe that vibe, and I don't know if there's a word for it. Do you know when you boot up a game like Medieval 2, especially the Crusades or Americas campaign, and you're isolated in an unfamiliar place and fighting unfamiliar foes? Your cities and units are a mix of the familiar you could bring with you from home, combined with the exotic native styles, creating a sort of liminal state between the two. However, as time goes on, you build up, you construct your armies, you fight, you grind away the opposition, and eventually the exotic gives way for the familiar - your lands look just like boring old home again. The magic is lost. The Solaris Expanse is still in that sort of liminal state. One day, in the far future, it may become just another set of standard template Imperial sectors. Or they could get erased as the Imperium loses their foothold in the galaxy. But for now, anything can happen, and there's a lot of openings for weirdness and new ways of doing things.

Is there anyway to become immune to corruption or insanity points in FFG Dark Heresy/Liber?
>>97913550I think there's something to do with True Faith talents but I'm not read up on it
>>97900566kino, love darkest dungeon
>>97913550Sororitas characters in 2e are immune to corruption by default but it is by making it get shunted to insanity at a 1 less than corruption they would have gotten.
>>97850224how much do you charge for games
>>97914019I don't charge for anything. I don't use paid stuff like tabletop simulator either. I use IRC because it's free.
>>97913896>>97913563You're right. If you take Incorruptible Devotion it transfers Corruption into Insanity, then to get Immunity to Insanity you can get From Beyond somehow.
>>97914403Oh. I'm new to these systems, and people said to join ordo discordia and some other 40k rp servers. Many of the GMs on those servers charge 10-20 dollars for games, but they treat it like a deposit that you get back when the game is finished to discourage flaking and ghosting. I thought this was normal.
>>97914794I've never seen that shit before in my life and I'm in discordia.
>>97914794The zoomers are cooked.
>>97914877It's starting to spread everywhere.
>>97914920Have you actually played one of these sessions where you pay them money and then get it back for attending? Because I'm pretty sure the second half of that is a fucking lie. People who charge cash to run a game tend not to be the kind to give it back.
>>97914926NTA but at my local store there's a guy who runs DnD and charges $5 per session, but he only runs patreon modules which take four or five sessions to finish, and at the end people get back everything minus $5. I joined one to learn DnD 5e since the final "cost" was only $5.
I asked this in the main thread but I figured I'd ask here too. Are there any kind of Force/Psyker claw/fist weapon the Imperium uses? It wouldn't be hard to homebrew one, but I wanted to at least find out if it exists first
>>97914974Nemesis Doomfist, Daemon Hunter p.131. Vehicle only, unfortunately, but it's a starting point.
>>97914999That's awesome. Didn't know if the Nemesis weapons were technically force weapons or not
>>97915081They are, but they're super special grey knight weapons
>>97915142Well I'm gonna make some specialized Force weapon called Warp Claws cause I think it'd be cool. Incorporate a Grav weapon into the wrist/palm so he can gesture & force people to their knees
Why the fuck is Imperium Maledictum edited like it was done by a half blind capuchin? The gear and bionic sections are especially fucked.
I was going over some stuff in preparation for Project ND, and one of the careers I was going to add to was the Air Caste Sky Captain. Right now, all its talents and abilities focus purely on vehicles and voidships, with little to contribute on ground, where most action takes place. I don't like it when one class can't contribute to a situation. Looking at it from a niche perspective, if the Cadre Fireblade uses Basic weapons, the Pathfinder uses Sniper weapons, and the Combat Engineer spams drones, and everyone can use heavy via Battlesuit, then maybe a good niche for the Sky Captain is pistol weapons. They are primarily pilots, but a player could be the dashing rogue-type, like a star wars smuggler or the eponymous sky captain from a world of tomorrow, who can pull off some pistol flair on ground but never lose their primary purpose of being best behind the wheel. Nothing is being lost, only added. The new abilities I considered are-Bonus damage the round a pistol is drawn/reloaded.-Spend fate to give a pistol Spray.-Pistol shot that slows / roots the enemy, allowing for a quick getaway.-Pistol shot that weakens enemy against abnormal effects (ex. Toxic, Snare, Rad-Phage, etc)-Ability to play dead, to escape enemies or set up an ambushThere was another ability (a last-ditch shot that inflicts damage based on wounds lost), but after some thought, that doesn't really fit, and will probably go to the Sslyth instead. Surprisingly, it caused a lot of debate between my team, regarding whether or not that would be standard air-caste training, and something like calling an air strike would be better. My thought is that I've taken enough liberties with Fire, Earth, and Water caste, that a little embellishment for Air wouldn't hurt. I'll probably fiddle with these for the next book update soon.New light cruiser unrelated.
Do you guys like drawfaggorty?Here's my character. Heavy armor, an MIU Weapons, a winged design jump pack & a helmet design modeled after Terminator armor. Need to add some more mechadendrites.
>>97915477I was making some mock-up characters for fun and ended up in that pistolier Solo-esque area for the Air Caste, so I'll confirm pistols as being a good niche. Maybe something to do with mitigating range maluses due to their superior depth perception, ignoring penalties to hitting running targets due to their experience leading shots in space combat, that sort of direction?
>>97915614That sounds like something that can be incorporated into special ability rather than talent, I will give it some thought.
Why do astartes apothecary retrieve the gene seed of fallen Space Marines? If the soldier dies isn't the gene seed lost as well?
>>97915718Go read literally any wiki
>>97915777Let me rephrase my question then: Given how much damage it takes to kill a space marine, how do they use the gene seed that has been damaged by battle? Or do they only take and use the organ that is undamaged?
>>97915957Gene-Seed is implanted into a Marine. This develops over time in the Progenoid Glands. In five years the one in the neck is mature. In ten years the one in the chest is mature. Unless both are wiped out by environmental circumstance like high radiation or violence rupturing them, then they can be harvested at death. Sometimes the neck is harvested early to help with low numbers. Since this is the only way to make more Marines it is of utmost importance to harvest geneseed from the battlefield
>>97915957The progenoids themselves are relatively small and far more durable than their size suggests allowing them to survive things that don't kill a marine outright as long as it isn't something like DE or tyranid toxins or such. They each also have their own form of suspended animation so they can be harvested long after the marine in question is dead.
>>97915957Just about the only way you can be sure the geneseed is lost is if you saw the marine get turned to giblets in front of you. Consider the amount of biological fuckery that goes into keeping testicles intact - they're slippery as hell, can physically retract into the body, and they're surrounded by a tough organic sheathe. Now consider how much stronger these traits could be and how many more you could apply with transhuman biology to something that doesn't even dangle vulnerably between your legs.Now consider the redundancy afforded by having two of them, one in the chest and one in the neck, coupled with the fact that each progenoid gland develops a zygote for each of a marine's organs.If John Bolter gets his ass blown off and shrapnel finds the chest progenoid, it's likely that even if damaged something will remain salvageable. If he loses his head, the neck progenoid will probably be damaged but the one in the chest will be fine. An apothecary loses nearly nothing by checking for anything to salvage unless they're actively under fire in the middle of a warzone, and given that they're the only way to produce new marines, it's far, far better to look and find one turned to salsa than to not bother looking and lose one.
I'm playing a tech priest next game and have never done it before. I usually play extroverted characters and have never played a character that suppresses emotion before. Are biologis specialists more emotional?
>>97915718They take the progenoids. New organs are made from the genetic material stored in them. Also this >>97915777
>>97916028The neck progenoid is usually harvested before death with the one in the chest left in for after death harvesting.
>>97916017>>97916027>>97916028That's what I needed to know. Thanks.
>>97916046Gotta phrase these questions better next time.
>>97915507only callidianon is allowed
>>97916031You can be extroverted as an Admech. Admech in general are woefully underexplored. Think of it as stuffy academics who fight boisterously about such innne shit as what an extinct animal looked like, or how they might come to blows over what some author a hundred years ago meant in some book. You're just not emotional as a rule, but that doesn't mean a logical person can't be extroverted. Think of fictional characters who are autistically logical yet still personable.
>>97916031There's a massive range of characters that can fall under the 'tech priest' umbrella. Even if you're going the full machine route, there's plenty of room to be extroverted and charismatic. Go sculpted silver, chrome and gold, teach the laity how to properly respect machine spirits and preach the acceptance of alloy. Be a massive iron-tentacled death machine that thinks he's still the amicable cuddly dad he started his priesthood as. Hide your steel under silk and synthetic flesh to play the spy and courtesan. Tech priests generally rule their emotions but they still have them. They can bicker and nag, be driven to rage and elation, show care and understanding; they're still people, ultimately.
>>97916031In general, admech are insular autistic fucks mainly due to their culture and the habit of replacing parts of their brain with cybernetics, especially with the rite of pure thought. Usually they're more preoccupied with their focus of study or whatever duties they're given. There are techpriests that do specialize in talking with other people but an extroverted techpriest, while unusual for most, is something that can and has existed. You may also have to consider how this extroversion manifests, the admech character in the mechanicus and RT games are good examples to help get an idea of general feelings to fuel it.
>>97916088Nice to see a tech priest that isn't getting mouthfucked by random tubes. I never understood why that shit has to be external. If I was a tech-priest I'd have all that shit in my chest so I wouldn't waste the extra material getting to my mouth. I would argue that the Machine God created humanity in a certain imagine & to distance yourself from that image is an insult to its perfect knowledge
>>97916144The religious techpriest in mechanicus doesn't have mouth tubes, just a super frown.
>>97916178See all that wasted inefficient design? That shit could all fit in the chest cavity getting pipes straight to the the lungs. Hell, the entire head could be rendered vestigial if you're not a bitch. Go full Brain & Vitals in a Jar & keep that locked tight in the chest covered in as much armor as i can get. The "head" you see would be a bunch of sensory equipment shoved into a metal skull wrapped in skin & controllable to create a facsimile that it's still a normal head.
>>97916200The impression I've gotten from descriptions of techpriests over the years is that they actually have a decent range of choices for their augments, and there's a whole internal culture of oneupping each other with their augments. They insist it's logical but plenty of their humanity seems to seep through.
>>97915142Malleus Inquisitors have them too, that's how I was able to get one into the hands of my librarian.
