I feel like that would be out of character for the setting. Also, didn't resurrecting Girlyman involve getting the new Eldar god of death involved? Lol @ how little attention THE BIRTH OF A NEW GOD is getting in 8e.

JcDent posted:I'd probably dislike primaris less if they had gone with MK II or MK III helmet instead of MK IV, my least favorite Mark, but MK VII is already the iconic Ye Smoll Marine look while MK II and MK III are clearly For Heresy Products only. Now you've had some wrong rear end opinions here lately, but this is the most wrong. Mark IV Maximus is probably the best looking helmet, at least way better looking than the standard mark VII. At least for loyalists.

And the smoothness of the mark IV and the mark VI beak armor looks like medieval armor, which marines take their inspiration from. To a lesser extent the mark 2 and 3 are good too.

No, because I'm wearing a mark IV helmet without a dumb mouth. * * this goes out the window with chaos marines. Angry mouths are chaos as gently caress.

That's...debatable. The Fourth Sphere could just be batshit crazy, or being influenced by a Chaos God. The Eldar very much have a new god, and the Emperor is very much a god with his own daemons. The Eldar god is still incredibly weak, so he can't do a lot in a macro sense. The Emperor seems to be picking up steam on the god front, as his spirit dudes are a bit more active than they have been in the past. They seem to be building towards a "gently caress it" status quo where they just throw things like the Primarchs and what not on the table, because it doesn't really matter if all the insanely powerful forces are at play. Let the Emperor be a god, give the Eldar an active anti-chaos god, let all the awesome people get out of the shadows. It just means more poo poo to sell people. Really, that's the downside for them. Oh no, now we have to make this for people, however will we manage if we have to constantly sell folks hundred dollar models?

The Fourth Sphere got helped by this fledgling Greater Good "God", a better name would probably be Warp Entity. However it was not them who created it anyway, it was the Physic races part of the Empire. It's the reason why the fourth sphere wants to wipe out non Tau life. (But they can't say that outright, most Tau would be against killing their allies, and doing so would also lose all of their allies.)

The Tau, because they're so weak psychically, don't really know the deal with gods or daemons. They recruit a bunch of psychically active dudes, who buy into the Tau beliefs while being psychic... Forming what sounds like a god of atheism? And it wants to kill all non-Tau, which would literally lead to killing itself out of starvation? 40k is great/dumb.

Naw, I think the idea is that the (fun, good) races of the Tau empire birthed Communism God, and Fourth Sphere Tau don't like it (hurr durr what is warp) and want to kill off the allies that feed it. Tau Empire Without Tau would be a great faction.

The Fourth Sphere Tau want to kill all humans (and Nicassar, Kroot, Vespids etc.) because of their connection to the Warp and corruption of their ideology (in a way that mirrors the Imperial Truth's slip into the Imperial Creed during the Great Crusade against the Emperor's wishes); the God of the Greater Good wants to reshape the universe in the image of the Tau Empire and punched a permanent hole in the barrier between dimensions so the Fourth Sphere could do it on the other side of the galaxy Autism Sneaks fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Aug 17, 2018 |

one of the campaign framework suggestions in the WnG core book is a group of orks stranded on a bizarre alien planet, hunting through ancient ruins for junk to build a ship with while also fighting off monstrous fauna and rival ork mobs I am way into this but I feel like that's going to need more ork archetypes available before its really a thing

My first session I'm running tomorrow is going to be fun, when the Ork player who never played an rpg before I ran a Feng Shui one shot keeps asking me about all the little details he wants his dude to have. I think my players are going to enjoy going First Edition Rogue Trader in terms of ham.

Re: Helmets: Back when I hated Space Marines, the Mark IV was my favorite helmet because it was the least Space Marine-y helmet and the one that most discards the normal Space Marine aesthetic for something approaching what fans of other science fiction action properties expect from the helmet of a group of future super-warriors called "Space Marines," instead of the doofy scowly vox grills and beakies and the Mark II and III, which are just medieval armor helmets. Now that (God help me) I actually like Space Marines (thank you, Raven Guard), the Mark IV has become my least favorite helmet... because it's the least Space Marine-y helmet and the one that most discards the normal Space Marine aesthetic for something approaching what fans of other science fiction action properties expect from the helmet of a group of future super-warriors called "Space Marines." So my suspicion is Primaris have Mark IV helmets because that's the helmet that tests the best with non-40k fans, and the goal was to create something that would attract new people.

That would be a good craftworld response to the appearance of the Tau. See some rapidly emerging technologically advanced species without a warp connection? Twist one of them psychic and let the resulting civil war hold them back until someone else rolls them over. Minimal physical input, maximum "It is foreseen to succeed!".

I've been reading through this and like what I see so far but there are a lot of typos and mistakes. The sample character generation for instance doesn't use the right point value for their archetype, and I think at least one of the attribute arrays wasn't calculated right. This really needs another editing pass.
