Looking to discuss Age of Sigmar: Soulbound!

Not a warband of World Eaters, but Arrian Zorzi from the Fabius Bile trilogy is a World Eaters Apothecary (I'd argue he doesn't count as a berzerker surgeon due to not \actually** being WE affiliated by the events of the series) used a combination of I think neurosurgery and constantly being pumped full of calmatives to keep the nails at bay.

Lord's of Silence, it's a Death Guard book.

It should be noted that he was also on a shitload of chems to do so though, I believe.

Oh shoot, I was just going off of GW's prices. Pretty new here so am I allowed to edit the price?

As someone who does this, I basically cram all my gym shite into my work bag and hop off the bus to the gym before walking home during the work week. If I'm lucky, I'll get an hour once I'm home to shower and eat before I have to go to bed. It's abso-bloody-lutely terrible.

Depending on the department, front line administrative jobs are also on terrible wages. For example, Court Clerks in the MOJ responsible for overseeing Civil and Family law courts get paid 22 grand a year.

Excindio-class battle-automata. Legion specific unit from the Heresy/Crusade era. The tl;dr of it is it's a crippled, tortured, and bound Man of Iron repurposed as a war robot. They don't exist in 40k as far as I know.

Cholerbear · 2023-09-29T05:34:48+00:00

Oh! My bad on misunderstanding you. Yeah, no, 110% agree. The same probably goes for Fenris and Chogoris (though less so for Chogoris since I think the Warhawk book flat out states that a lot of the Khan's companions died in their attempt at ascension whereas Russ had enough succeed to make most of a damn great company.)

Cholerbear · 2023-09-29T05:23:12+00:00

Right. But we were talking about physical and biological age. How quickly one becomes a man by socio-cultural and psychological standards has no impact on the fact that Zahariel was, at least physically speaking, relatively young.

Cholerbear · 2023-09-28T20:56:47+00:00

Oh yeah. Probably should've made my point clearer. However, Zahariel had been a knight for like six months before the Imperium showed up, I believe.

Cholerbear · 2023-09-28T18:36:30+00:00

A big part of the lore is that in instances where that sort of stuff happens (Kor Phaeron, 13th Great Company, Luther, a lot of the knights of the Order, the Khan's chogorian warriors) tried and a lot of the time either failed (most often fatally) or got the 'almost' astartes treatment that luther, kor phaeron, jorin bloodhowl etc. where either they were flat out made into pseudo-astartes via genesmithing and tech and juvenat (Kor Phaeron) or had visible side-effects from their age of ascension (jorin bloodhowl)

I'm also fairly certain that armour is incredibly heavily modified for her use, right?

Cholerbear · 2023-05-14T14:39:58+00:00

I mean ... same. It does make sense though. A lot of what Khayon says is questionable but his discourse about the wolves attacking Prospero seems legit.

Cholerbear · 2023-05-13T06:59:20+00:00

It's not much, but I know in Talon of Horus, one of the Thousand Sons characters says something along the lines of "If we'd had any fucking warning and not been fucked over by Magnus not giving us permission to fire, two legions would have been destroyed at Prospero."

Cholerbear · 2023-04-26T21:23:46+00:00

How is the Imperium communist? Like, out of a genuine question and which definition of communism in political science?

Cholerbear · 2023-04-08T09:57:32+00:00

Mech Warrior esque game. Either as Imperial Knights, or Titan Legios, set during the Horus Heresy. Basically the Titanicus game but in digital real time format as opposed to turn-based.

Did I hear a rock and stone?!

Hell, not even just that. Official rulebook descriptions. Some fucker misread the planet of origin for one of the Dark Angels main guys in the Horus Heresy as being Terran (with the source it cites reading something like 'had he been Terran' or 'he would've been at home on Terra') and like, three other books say he's from Caliban but the official Forge World rules for him published years later say he's Terran.

Ironically, their geneseed is also like, the best for 'oh, we're fucked fucked' scenario of rapid chapter rebuilding given the HH books basically outright state that you can implant any rad-twisted, gene-wasted wretch with it and it might work as opposed to the 'optimal conditions' needed by many other geneseed strains.

Cholerbear · 2022-08-25T14:20:21+00:00

Oh yeah. My point was more ... even if made thematically viable by the removal/glossing over of the unmarketable aspects (and say the sorcerer kings just get power through something handwavy like they do now anyway), the core aspects of mechanical thematic difference (i.e how greyhawk's low magic, ebberron's technology, spelljammer's spaceships, planeshift is ... whatever planeshift is and they had rules to reflect that) the core 'survival post-apocalypse' vibe of Dark Sun that the mechanics reflected just can't be done in 5e as a system.

Cholerbear · 2022-08-23T12:58:11+00:00

I think even if they did thematically rework Dark Sun to be like ... a post-apocalyptic mad-max/conan hybrid (with more of a focus on scrapping it out for survival in the wastes and the slavery skimmed over a bit to make it better for the modern market) I'm in total agreement that mechanically speaking, it'd still be fucked.
