The Emperor Speaketh...again.

[Morrdh]

Ulisses North America has the old Fantasy Flight 40K RPGs up for sale on DriveThruRPG, only seems to be PDFs but does include both editions of Dark Heresy.

Same guys which are doing the new 40K RPG.

The Emperor Speaketh...again.

Well, looks like I'm going to have to listen to the soothing voice emanating from the Golden Throne once more.

[Ardavia]

Another valid way is to just... Introduce the models maybe? Because it's not like they've never had to make new models?

BEAKIEEEEEES :'(


One thing I really dislike about the Chadmarines is they're basically the epitome of "THESE ARE THE BEST SOLDIERS EVER, MATCHED BY NONE."

If you read about Cadians, it'll say they're TRAINED SINCE BIRTH TO FIGHT etc LESSER MEN WOULD GO INSANE etc, but then the same thing is written about the Scions, then the Assassins, then the "regular" Space Marines and Sisters (the latter of whom get schwacked every time they come up and exist to portray Worf Effect,) and now, Primaris Marines. Almost every unit is "the absolute best" and "worth X men from any other unit." How can you already have apparently perfect soldiers and then make them even more perfect?

I've yet to face a Primaris player on the tabletop, so I can't really speak to the crunch aspect of them. If they're BS/WS 2+ though like Custodes, I'm going to be mildly (very) upset

iirc
compared to normal SMs, the chadmarines get +1 wound, +1 attack, and a better weapon (+6" range and -1 AP, compared to the normal bolter), with the same statline otherwise

Any good reading about the Ogres?

And pillarstodes strike again.

Shrek the Novel.

Shall we ever be liberated from the ominous shadow of Shrek? Come to think of it, is it possible that Shrek is the original manifestation of what shall become known as the Divine Duo of the Ork's interstellar 'civilization' in the grim darkness of the far future? The Immaterium works in strange ways, after all?

Indeed. The divine manifestation of Gork. Or possibly Mork.

I'm really excited for Wrath & Glory. It's got a good team behind it. Plus you'll be able to play Primaris Marines, so that's something I'm looking forward too.

Hm. If Mork is Shrek, Gork is probably princess Fiona.

[Socialist Czechia]

She's cunnin' but brutal.

I think it's the other way around.

She's cunnin' but brutal.

No, that's Mork. Gork is brutal but kunnin', Mork is kunnin' but brutal.

Got me curious what sort of power level W&G games are suppose to be.

Had an idea for a bunch of mercs/tomb raiders that was somewhere between Dark Hersey and Rogue Trader in scope.

Apparently its corebook is supposed to be "broad and inclusive" for a wide range of play, from the "untrained guardsmen in way over their heads as they are being slaughtered by a singe Ork Nob" to "Veteran Space Marines going toe-to-toe wth Tyranid Warriors".

Plus there will be support for Orks and Eldar as playable races.

That sounds cool. One of my pet gripes with the FFG 40k RPGs is the issue of how XP isn't always equal (you get a lot more mileage out of 5000 XP in the old games where Talents and things tend to cost a flat 200, while in the new games those same or equivalent Talents tend to cost at least twice as much depending on Tier and Aptitudes), which presents obvious difficulties when trying to port shit from, say, OW to DH even before you get into the nitty gritty of mechanics changes and differences in rules that are just a headache.

So a system that actually lets you go anywhere from Guardsmen to Chadmarines on the power scale sounds pretty good.

I have to say yey for Primaris marines they do so much damage alongside my Custodians. I made them space wolves over smurfs

[Iyanden]

I wonder if when new space wolves and custodian content will be relased

[Hirota]

Iirc most of the primaris wolves got ordered into their own chapter. It was mentioned in one of the books.

Don't want to steal your mojo though, I'm sure a few made it to fenris, or whatever is left of it.

Won't somebody thinks of the Inquisition?

[Trollgaard]

So it looks like Rough Riders are not in the new Guard codex.

WTF.

If they are truly gone then I may be done with 40k.

Astra Militarum are slowly killing everything cool about the Guard.
