Apart from using auto primer (lel) I'd recommend trying a base other than black if you want the best paintjob. Black is dark and edgy looking and hides missed areas well but thin paint won't sit on it for shit, meaning you'll end up having to cake on multiple layers of thick paint to actually cover it. It's a real beginner's trap and mostly just a holdover from 40k players who didn't know better. I'd recommend trying white primer instead (and not one for cars).

>>77878788
Grey > white

>>77878788
Also sand your minis a bit. The rougher surface will capture paint better.

Halfway there! Still trying the commic style of paint. Its back-breaking, but I think he will look pretty cool once done!

it's BRP, so it's good. the system will work great and make sense. looks like the author was involved and it's faithful to the source

Thanks, I didn't know about this either.

I binges on Laundry Files when I found the series. Well written, and I did enjoy it.
By the end though, the darkness really started to come through. The violin, the civilian casualties, the compromises made. That there's humor too made better at first but worse at the end.
Long way around to saying I don't know now hat I'd do with a Laundry Files rpg. Play it straight, as the doomed bureaucracy only delaying the inevitable? Change it up to heroes who win after all? Gloss over all the collateral damage, or run with it?
Played straight I think I'd find Unknown Armies a less dark game. At the least the scale of suffering is smaller.

>>77867257
I only had two stinkers at the shop where i worked back in the day, and they stank only because they worked at the local factories (and showered after their shift but there is no fucking way to avoid the smell even with fresh clothes in the lockers) and lived too far away to go home and change their clothes to visit after the shift. So i just offered to keep their fresh clothes in the shop and let them use our shower.

the daycare centre thing is too true. during 5th edition 40k, we had some sweaty spergy kid getting dropped off down the road, hed turn up with his dads janky old 3rd ed ork codex, and a bunch of his dads old models. not even a coherent collection. but hed turn up to our beginners games on saturday morning and just fucking hang around til closing time, because he had nowhere else to go.

in some ways, i didnt have a problem with him being there. it was his dad i had the problem with; dropping your 12/13 yr old off in a city centre with only enough cash for a greggs sausage roll until you pick him up at 6 in the evening is shitty.

the bigger problem was the people who called themselves "veterans" as if buying an army 10 years ago and playing a few games entitled them to a table every fucking night. theyd constantly clog up your time, and waste your day, then put off new starters with their "advice".

in some small way, i totally get GWs approach now, which is to just sell people the game and get them the fuck out of the door.

why would people play chaos guys they are mean and want to do bad things :(

>>77867390
Not true. It's Space Knights vs Space Skellies now. The Height of Marines vs Spikey Marines was back in 6th and 7th. Just look at intro boxes to see what GW thinks sells best.

I mean not really. Chaos is pretty dope as a concept and in WFB they are the faction i’m most interested in because they are giga chads in plate armor fucking shit up. And while i’m more drawn to Space Marines and Necrons in 40k, I do think Chaos if fuckin dope too.

The problem is that GW are being tards on how to handle it. Abby’s overrated and even when they try fixing him they keep making him look like a fucking joke. WFB had it better but fucked it up when they pissed on their fans during End Times.

Only thing I think makes Chaos fucking dumb is the “undivided” variety. I hate how they all look like Black Legion fags and miss the old less chaotic heads with the cool horns and shit.

>>77875750
but GW sells more models than any other company

>>77866954

Name five good games that are human only.

>>77866387
I know this is obvious bait, but:
1. Non-human races aren't necessary in a good rpg system, but it's not necessary to NOT have them for it to be good either.

2. Race-locked classes are stupid; it's restrictive and that's what CCP chinese scum use in shitty MMOs.

3. Points buy for races that aren't human implies that they are better options than humans--and if they're going to have trade-offs that put them on par with humans (because that's how you balance a game if you have other races), then what's the point of spending points if it isn't an overall improvement? It would be a waste of points, and it's better to have all the race options cost nothing in character creation. If you're intent behind this is to keep out freakshit character players, then grow a backbone and keep them off your table. It takes the most basic form of human interaction.

>... other races are either classes or sets of points you buy.
What did he mean by this? The races as classes sounds like what they did in older editions of D&D where the Dwarf and Elf were their own classes while you your fighter, magic-user, and thief be played by humans. The "set of points" thing is something I haven't before unless it's like how you used to become a Dragonborn where you made a pact or something and transformed into one.

>>77866387
doesnt matter, doesnt affect you, nothing wrong with this at all
only reason you cant complain is that YOU choose to play with the people you play with
the existence of people picking a whole party of freak shit never has and never will be a problem
your choice of friends/players is the problem, it always has been and will continue being so forever until you stop being a pussy

Todo clapping Mahito's hand to activate his technique was the absolute greatest moment in the manga and if you don't think so you can get our of my face

>>77865857
Yes. We were hunting a calculating warlock who stole our wizard's spellbook.
Everywhere we went, we heard how people actually really liked this guy. His men respected him, and he created a home for the homeless. We eventually hunted him down, cornered him, and beat the shit out of him. Turns out he was a pretty good guy, but he made a deal with a elder evil and needed to collect spellbooks as a sacrifice.
I offered him repentance. If he disavowed the elder evil he served, he could join me in service of Sune. He agreed, and Sune (or one of her servants, idk) removed the elder evil from his body which killed him.
As our cleric of Kelemvor performed funeral rights on him, I resurrected him with Revivify. This absolutely pissed of the cleric of Kelemvor, but the "warlock" was now free of his curse.
That guy's name is Jakob and he now travels with us. He is indebted to Sune, and I am trying to teach him how to become a proper cleric of the goddess of love.

That's how they worked as far back as 3e, maybe earlier. Unless you're playing in Forgotten Realms, where atheism is double-evil.

that seems weird. The clone body has the exact same strength score as my old one (aside from a small racial bonus)? it would make sense if they were like "your mental statistics remain the same, but here are Sorshen's physical stats:"

>>77865662

>>77871137
That's perfect then. The goal is to be generic. Unfun was never stated, and it's probably best to assume we want to avoid things that aren't fun to play.

You're mistaking generic for boring.

I love playing as Twiss because she lets you effectively ignore combat unless you really want to or have to pick a fight. I hate playing against Twiss because she ALWAYS takes my fucking best item.

>>77866517

>>77865135
D&D3: So this is where true prestige class begins (Unlike the bard from AD&D and Kits from AD&D2). From a game design perspective, I think the designers were going for this trade off - sacrifice portion core class power for more specialization, and allowing GM to give Players a moment of tactical thinking in their level ups with the combination of the feat, skill, multi-class system (note: the first Prestige classes were in the DM guide, not meant for players).

However, as time went on this concept of trade offs were kinda lost on everyone, and it kinda degraded into more power to add onto the core classes. For example, by 3.5 you got classes like the Archmage and the Hierophant which is like a natural progression of a wizard and a cleric; it doesn't really penalize your choices as like the Arcane Archer would.

So what I'm trying to say is that it really depends on design of the class.

>>77869080
I think Prestige Classes were actually meant for DMs, to be given as a reward to players or to flesh out the setting. But the design worked against this, since level progression worked on strict XP values, and there were highly specific and unnatural requirements.

>>77865135
I like PrC better personally. Part of PrC was you had to earn them, and they were alignment locked. With archetype, you just grab it and go. I like the idea of either earning the specialization or just sticking vanilla. I also felt like them making PrC that generally aren't just for a class means every time they have a neat idea they print it. With archetype I feel like they have to try and keep a parity of options for all classes.

>>77869207
I kinda agree that most PrC with more liberal requirements, for example the Dwarven Defender or the Assassin is lot more useful for both GMs and Players. One problem with PrC of the 3rd edition era is that they had compete with a growing list feats that were really customizable, and were more useful as GM reward for players.

i know a guy just like this irl
he's a retired dentist and people sometimes ask him to play santa or random wise old men in student movies

At first, it was sapient beings that influence the warp. With the warp becoming turbulent enough during the War in Heaven, however, simple intelligences formed out of the chaos itself and began to accumulate. As they became more powerful, they were in turn able to affect material space, and thus affect sapient beings.

>>77864587
it's both.

>>77864587
Both. They symbiotically feed off of eachother. The Immaterium in its current form is part Jung's Collective Unconsciousness part Plato's Theory of Forms.

>>77864397
No idea, i stayed on 3.5, and i think clerics are the most broken class possible if you have the right domains and build, such as Red Knight cleric with planning domain, which is ridiculous once you get Time Stop.

>>77871201
Yes. If the rules work on a per unit basis, you act accordingly.

>>77871440
yeah, you can also do more creative stuff with the command impliments, like cut off the hornblowers horn and attach it to his saddle, or cut off the banner bearers banner and attach that upright to the back of his saddle or even strap it to his back samurai style, and then you could have command models that still weild their ironfists and clubs.

if theres any army that encourages converting, its certainly ogres.

>>77871500
In other armies? Oh, yeah. Shit yeah. LRL aren’t just powerful, they’re basically designed to auto win against entire factions. Oh you have a Bloodsecrator, or a Warchanter, or some other hero you are forced to over rely on by your tome? Well they’re fucking dead, without LOS, from 36” away.

I know some retard is going to say “but lol just do X and win!” and honestly, go fuck yourself preemptively. Everybody knows it’s absurd to one-shot key pieces from the other army without LOS, and no risk to yourself. Everybody.
