SuperKlaus posted:How come Orks don't interact with Chaos? I get that Tau and Necrons don't have souls, but Orks clearly have psykers and stuff. I think it's kinda weird and weakens how scary Chaos is that it only really gets at humans and space elves, not all sentients. (Personally I would like to see the Tau "awaken" or something and get some Chaos action because I think it's so strange that there can be sentients not linked to Chaos). I know about the Ork psychic gestalt thing, so maybe they're like the Tyranids, but the Tyranids I consider different because they're pretty much literally one outrageously strong will, right? There are tons and tons of minor species out there, and they get corrupted like anything. If you run into an unknown planet of spacefaring xenos its safest to assume they're corrupted until proven not. Then if you're a space marine or inquisitor you kill them anyway because they're xenos, or if you're a rogue trader you sell them things.

Hey guys I've got this brilliant idea. We'll take the most unbalanced lunatic Eversors we have and fuse them with Halo devices, then we'll hurl them into the warp. Devoid of anything else to kill they'll kill all the demons and humanity will be safe from Chaos!

Epic High Five posted:This is worth noting of course, because I have devised new methods of covertly delivering my horrendously mutagenic berserker compounds (also my new favorite, the P.E.L aka Paralyzing Exploding Liquid that does exactly what it says on the tin) Is that an exploding liquid that makes you paralysed or a paralysing liquid that makes you explode?

Epic High Five posted:Strictly speaking it's a liquid that paralyzes you, and while paralyzed you erupt almost immediately in inextinguishable flames. I tested this quite thoroughly on a crewman who grabbed a tainted door knob so we know it's transdermal in addition to all the other great things it does. So they don't actually explode and wound everyone nearby with bone shrapnel, contaminating them with the drug? That would be a good feature to put into a berserker drug actually. As your minion is finally brought down he explodes, injuring everyone nearby and getting his blood all over them. This in turn sends them berserk and they start fighting among themselves, until they explode. Probably no third wave though because the concentration isn't high enough anymore.

Macrocannon effectiveness is very much based on how good your gun crew / gun master is, Lances to a lesser extent. So if you're a really good shot then Macrocannons are definitely better, if not so good then a lance may be useful. Lances are much better at orbital strikes though.

Ambi posted:Oh they got those at ship creation, along with Servitor Reclaimation Facilities, but sometimes you want to take a ship and not have to redecorate to get rid of gore and/or deal with still-active murder servos. Whenever they just wanted to gently caress over another ship, they fired murder servitor breaching pods at them. The alternative hijacking route was the board to ship themselves and take out the command staff & captain, then give the crew the old "join or die" over the PA system. Do the breaching pods have Reclamation Facilities aboard them? Launch 30 murder-servitors, get 300 back.

I assume you'd ditch the talents/skills from RT and use the new ones from OW/DH2. What I'm not certain of is how to assign aptitudes to the backgrounds and archetypes.
