Well, there's cartoon villainy and real world villainy. But this fucker is an actual real world cartoon villain, so I'm cool with it. T Down Jacket: I think its mostly a case of who posted it. At this point Plutonis could post cat videos and probably receive large amounts of hate.

Important question. My psyker recently had her skin acid-peeled off by a horrible critical wound result, and is very seriously injured. I'm rapidly working my way through my fate points trying to stave off infection and work our way through to the end of the current assignment, banish the demon, etc, but at some point when we get back to our Inquisitor, I need to put some serious thought into long-term medical attention. It's been suggested that there may be some complications wrt. the healing process, especially since she had a malignancy-induced psychic burn scars over most of her body beforehand, so I might need to look into getting some sort of artificial replacement, which our Inquisitor will hopefully spring for what with the whole heroic daemon-banishing thing. It'd haemorrhage Subtlety, but we've never been great at that as a group and she's not very subtle anyway, and it would fit in with her character theme of going beyond the pale and throwing humanity away in an attempt to be 'right' and 'normal'. So, any suggestions for a suitably 40k impermeable epidermal barrier? - gold leaf - ceramic - wrought iron - the bones of a slightly larger person, ideally a holy and blessed member of the Ecclesiarchy - something else? idk ... ???

Obviously you should be flaying your enemies and wearing their skins over your mangled body, replacing them as they wither and begin to putrefy.

Well, Fabius bile uses the skin from obese vatgrown slaves to cover his kit-bashed space marines, so depending on how radical (in both sense of the word) you and your Inquisitor are, you could be wearing someone's skin that actually fits.

Waroduce posted:Wot if the psyker is knocked unconscious Considered doing this, since you can sustain powers indefinitely now without a test - there was a while where I went around wreathed in a sustained manipulate fire effect to impress a clan of feral voidborn into thinking I was a prophet - but yeah, the going to sleep/unconsciousness thing would be a problem, and I don't want to invest in biomancy or telekinesis, both of which are deeply inferior to (and not as stylish as) the True Power disciplines of divination and pyromancy. LuiCypher posted:The correct answer is skulls. Arglebargle III posted:Obviously the most 40K choice is gold leaf ceramic wrought-iron hung with the bones of * where * is: Dark Heresy, so yeah, this works. We're currently on (and saving) Thaur, which is a giant cemetery world where the Askaellon Sector's richest and most holy get interred in bone orchards, so it's not like there'll be an absence of blessed bones to graft onto my flesh. I wonder if I can persuade the local Ecclesiarchy to release a few of them into my care ... otherwise, this: Rockopolis posted:Collodial silver; antiseptic, Sacred, and puts you in serious contention for a Warrsnt of Trade. is actually a pretty good idea. iirc, colloidal silver doesn't have a decent antimicrobial effect, but metallic silver does kill off bacteria, so getting myself silver-gilt is a 100% good idea. Maybe have pentagrammic wards done while I'm at it.

Most educated geneticist/scientist in the galaxy, other than maybe some necron lords. He has DNA from primarchs and hundreds of space marines. His ultimate goal is to make a clone of the Emperor to puppet. Also note they're not always chaos marines per se, even in the black crusade game there's several ways to bring humans up to be psudo space marines, stats wise.

Maybe have pentagrammic wards done while I'm at it. Colloidal silver is by definition a liquid though (silver suspended in liquid) so it doesn't make sense as a mask/skin material. Honestly the practical way is to cover it in (horrifying) skin grafts and then cover the grafts with this thing you're doing so you don't have to deal with issues like infection constantly or be constantly handwaving. Silver skin would become problematic in that B)it is an excellent conductor of electricity when human skin is actually a decent voltage barrier and C)it is an excellent conductor of heat and D) it tarnishes and scratches really easily.

A couple of primarchs and one Imperial Army general in the Horus Heresy books have had foil-thin layers of gold painted onto their faces for diplomatic functions.

I need help building two characters for DH2. A cadian officer, in the edmund blackadder tradition. And a balls-out tech-priest dedicated to destruction of the imperiums enemies. For the first im thinking Noble, IG and hierophant with the BS aptitude. For the second it's probably forgeworld, techpriest (duh) and then either warrior, assasin or desperado maybe? Halp.

I've got a weird idea in my head about Deathwatch vs the LibertariOrks of Silly-Kill Valley. Possibly involving a loosely aligned collective of Meks who are seeking to remove the squishy organic element from their war machines while striking down any stoopid warboss who attempts to control them. I don't think there's actually enough for a mission there though.

I always though a Mek coalition mass-producing Deff Dredds and Killa Kans would be a decent threat. Picture an Ork horde, but instead of Orks they're all Dreadnoughts. I think the tin cans don't really get a shot at being Nobz, so, less infighting, too. Of course, this was around the time Wolfenstein: New Order came out, so I figure they're built with slave labor on a captured Forge World, run by Big Mek Deffskull. edit Also, Jimi Hendrix. A Noise Marine?
