AbusePuppy posted:Well, as it happens our culture defines masculine as the "default" and feminine as exclusively defined by a relatively-narrow set of features, so if you're crafting an androgynous/hermaphroditic look out of that mindset, you essentially just add some female features and you have, by exclusion, something that is neither male nor female. Good ol' gender norms, gettin' used all over the place! JerryLee posted:Oh believe me, the fact that the game universe literally attempts to define deviation from norms on gender presentation as the hallmark of an evil god is its own delightful can of worms No one ever comments on my Slaaneshi cultists lovelingly modeled with Compelete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome or XX Male Syndrome

SRM posted:I do appreciate more dynamic dreadnoughts to a degree, but I always think it's pretty funny when you've got what's essentially a washing machine on legs sprinting like Usain Bolt. Are you saying dreadnoughts can't be as athletic as they were in life?

Huh, Shattered Legions? Rules for further diversifying playing a Legion by having either Loyalist or Traitor-specific rules to represent splits in the Legions that overall turned Traitor?

JerryLee posted:I would play at a game store that just said "GAY" in big letters as the store sign. It would probably be a good way of self-selecting for people who aren't homophobic grognards. Also for extremely old people who still think "gay" is a synonym for "happy". They come in to meet other happy people, and it results in a 96-year-old great-grandmother cursing her dice in archaic fashion while the non-homophobic grognard across from her tries to figure out how he's going to gracefully beat an old lady.

I believe there was a canon story with an orc going back in time and killing his past self so he could dual-wield his gun, so I don't see why you can't have a dude popping in when he's supposed to be dead.

Captain Invictus posted:It's an iconic tragic historical moment in the same way the photo of the Hindenburg is. That kid quite literally killed the Japanese Communist Party when he assassinated their leader there. He might've misunderstood the request but I'm actually kinda surprised you've never seen that before. I personally wasn't too phased (which is probably a combination of general jadedness and my physiology background), but film can inspire a different degree of reaction than a still picture, and a real murder inspires a different reaction from one on TV or in the movie. Whole lotta "beep boop why so distaught by film of real murder" in this thread.

NTRabbit posted:Amongst many other terms, yes. They also tried to claim ownership of things made by contracted artists who explicitly retained the rights to those creations in their contracts (back then they paid to use the art, nowadays they pay the artist to create art for them to own), then when that ownership was contested they claimed they had no idea where the artists were or how to contact them, while sending new contracts to those artists at their home addresses telling them to sign over everything and backdate these contracts ASAP. One of the artists called bullshit rather rapidly and contacted the defense team about it. Lammo. MasterSlowPoke posted:got drat I'm getting a strong Strogg vibe off of those  (which is cool).

I took my first Contemptor out for his first battle last night. He gunned down several CSM, got a Vehicle Explodes result on a Hellbrute on his first round of trading fire with it, and a Deep Striking unit of CSM Terminators scattered onto him and got a 1 on the mishap roll  I'm half tempted to name him after all that.

thegodofchuck posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Horus_Heresy_(novels)#Titles The short story compilations are also good in general. The Angels ones are just kind of...bland. Damnation of Pythos is bad. I don't know who the hell David Annandale is, but I didn't like Death of Antagonis either, and the guy has to step up his writing game. The writing itself is just...bleh. I couldn't finish Death of Antagonis because it pained me to read his writing. It's the only 40k book I've ever tried to return, and the only reason I still have it is because Amazon told me to keep it for some reason. Don't forget Scars by Chris Wraight. He's a newer author, but he's pretty drat good.

If you light your opponent on fire while screaming "PURGE THE HERETIC", you get +1 BS with all Inquisition units in your next shooting phase.

DJ Dizzy posted:What? They're phasing out the "3 storyline sets in fall/winter/spring and 1 core set in summer" for a "2 block 1 storyline set in fall/winter and again in spring/summer". The rotation scheme also shows a little bit of change. Basically they found a third set in the block a little burdensome to work with in terms of spreading mechanics over three sets, so they're changing it up to make sets tighter overall.

SRM posted:I just don't care for sportsball, even violent fantasy sportsball. Gorkamorka or Necromunda though, sign me the gently caress up. If you go to http://www.wyrd-games.net/malifaux , there's a number of faction icons. Clicking on one of those faction icons will take you to a page with the faction Masters, lore, and a general tactica. Clicking on one of the Masters will take you to the page showing their background, starter box contents (front with art, back with renders), and general tactica. It doesn't cover *all* the models available yet, but at least you can see what the starter pack models look like.

Best of all, it would actually serve as incredibly effective camouflage, appearing as a functional tank thanks to the gestalt psychic field all orks emit, which allows seemingly non-functional items to work perfectly thanks to the belief of the orks that it will work.

I haven't posted here much since I only have a small Space Marine force that I only really played with my brother, and while I like the heavy walking tank approach - Mk3 armor, Catapractii Terminators, etc - I have to say that the idea of "bigger super Marines" is kinda dumb. They really should have just had a shift in philosophy influencing gameplay, like the reformation of Legions or something. Anything relating to Force Composition and balance adjustments for individual items than this poo poo.
