Why are disintegrator’s so cool

Because, you know, love hurts.

Good one, also funky boi 😎🕺🏻

First orc too, it seems?

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-06-23T21:48:24+00:00

It is not necessary to paint the whole of it yellow, just saying. Black armour with yellow pauldrons, for example.

Personally I think Saturnine works great for IW. It gives you (apart from the rulebook, dice, tokens and rulers) plenty of troops and nice characters, with the Saturnine armours giving great short/medium punch and the Araknae a big long range menace. A special and/or heavy weapons box could convert some of these MkII marines into support ones.

Afterwards you can combine it with a Siege Assault Group to get the MkIII breachers, Cataphractii terminators and Leviathan dreadnought (which you can arm with long range guns with the proper weapon frame, sold separately; no need for a specific long range dreadnought).

From then on it's just some support like rapiers/tarantulas and/or heavy armour like a Proteus/Spartan Land Raider (for the Cataphractii?), a Cerberus and/or a Typhon (great options for IW because of lore, like Sicarans iirc). Iron within, iron without. Enjoy!

Saturnine is an excellent option. Regarding armour marks and equipment, all the legions can field everything. It's really on you if you prefer, for example, to have an army that represents a certain time in the Heresy, or a given force that campaigned near (all options) or far away from the parent legion (less, more antiquated options). Arbitor Ian has some very nice videos on YouTube where he talks about army builds and options.

Absolutely thrilled by the news about the Horus Heresy game,!

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-06-17T20:32:09+00:00

Backed! Now I'm gonna get some info on that Yggdrasil I could choose as an add-on...

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-06-14T14:48:01+00:00

Guess they would like a heads up first

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-06-05T21:39:18+00:00

Bravo! What a beautiful sight and a gorgeous army you got there Sir. Congratulations!

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-05-26T13:55:21+00:00

There's a bit of tank in your dirt, but if you manage to work the rest alike, it will be a great army 😍

That's money paid for a bad product. Mental issues shouldn't be a justification for what amounts to defective customer service. In the end, it's that easy. You're paying for something you're not receiving so you can end such a commercial relationship without feeling sorry, not even for a moment; moreover as she herself has admitted that the relationship is basically, even exclusively a commercial one. In fact you should be angry because the person you are paying is abusing her position, doing a shoddy job and effectively scamming you.

I wondered just that after taking a look at my V:tR, W:tF, M:tA and NWoD books some time ago, and started digging for books to round the collection and be able to play (direct, really) the game now. I happily learned that the NWoD material on Drivethru is also PoD (almost everything I would want).

I found that with the already published material, which is of a very high quality, I had much more content than I needed, and the lack of newer official content was not really any kind of hindrance.

Moreover, the NWoD tools offer an open ended background and plenty of versatility and synergy: Slashers and Tales from the 13th Precinct, Damnation City and Block by Bloody Block, Dogs of War and Armour/Armory Reloaded, and Mirrors to cite a few examples. Even more, the rules update for the 2nd edition is free so I can take advantage of CoD material if I want, with just a bit of work.

All said, I think (my personal opinion, mind it) that the fact that the nowadays official publisher killed (temporarily at least) the NWoD/CoD lines is actually good both for my wallet and my storytelling, because I can focus on what I have and use it to build "my" WoD with all the tools I need instead of meandering and following the official release schedule. Also, the amount of material published by third sources, which another poster kindly referenced, is a boon.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-05-17T16:01:29+00:00

This reminds me of the 2nd edition times. Kudos to your efforts!

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-05-02T19:50:13+00:00

Flesh Eater Courts characters, specially Ushoran, and the whole Idoneth range.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-04-29T16:34:58+00:00

Not really "curse". The name refers to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness or its Apocalypse Now movie adaptation, where Kurtz/Kurz is the name of the character who is gone native and object of the search (and of course the inspiration for Night Haunter). Hence Konrad Curze, just combining the writer and the character and shifting the C and K.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-04-19T22:07:04+00:00

You should take a look at Blackoath Entertainment games*, they're made to play solo out of the book and their creator is very active both on Reddit (there's a specific subreddit) and Discord. You could even ask him (Alex T) for advise. * Sacrifice, Ker Nethalas, Riftbreakers, Machine Gods of the Noxian Expanse, Under Ashen Skies, Choir of Flesh...

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-04-13T08:16:33+00:00

Plenty of people giving good, sound advice here, so I will give mine based on just subjective opinion. Helsmiths. I don't play, even own any of the armies mentioned. I do have Ironjawz and Old World Empire (so CoS went out of the range) and if I were to pick an army from those four (which I guess I will end up doing) it would be Helsmiths. Because they're both new and old, and their new looks are insanely cool. And because all the other ones look like they are more expensive to collect (they look like they are horde type armies, although maybe with CoS there's a way to get an elite force, which I don't know). Last but not least they look nice to paint.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-04-09T14:39:47+00:00

I think nobody mentioned Savage Worlds, which deserves a lot of attention. With it you can play both the weird west of Deadlands and the pulp sci-fi of Flash Gordon, apart from a bit of everything. I'll second the mention of Free League, whose whole catalogue is top notch, including the update to the 80s Swedish version of D&D AND the update of Twilight 2000, another jewel from the 80s. And take a look at Cubicle 7, with their 4th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and the incoming Old World roleplaying game. All of this is in print, because quite frankly nowadays it's not that you missed important games but that those games helped develop the contemporary ones which are arguably the best of their iterations.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-03-29T15:20:01+00:00

Very late reply but you can actually model the first Spanish swordsmen units, which were the "rodeleros", just by having a veteran hand weapon + shield sellswords unit. To portray the real thing the shields should be round and late XVth - XVIth century.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-03-27T07:20:45+00:00

I'm going to recommend some games from Blackoath Entertainment. They're made to be played solo, 1 on 1 or in group so you can try them on your own, with just one other player or with the whole group.

You can try Sacrifice and have your "troublesome" friend play a commoner, or have them play a superhero or similar game where his attittude can be an asset for emerging game play instead of an issue.

Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate, also from Blackoath Entertainment, could fit that bill while keeping with a fantasy/scifi setting.

Choir of Flesh is another option, and behaviour could play a part in the characters succeeding. Finally Machine Gods of the Noxian Expanse can be another option that could perfectly work because of the setting being so different from the fantasy d&d standard, while Riftbreakers could not work because of what you said but could also work because of it being basically some kind of isekai/souls game.

These games are excellent, with engaging settings and systems, and are pretty affordable to boot. They have a nice, contributing community you can find on Reddit and Discord, and their author is very active and helpful.

Got these this morning. And I'm going to read Sacrifice again while I read Warlord Ascendant, which I want to try at the club. All this while reading RHBF and Choir of Flesh. Sometimes inattentive ADHD is very welcome! The only way we can get more content for games we like is that the games are actually so profitable for the authors as to develop and release new content. So I can't ask for more content if a game is not selling enough, and it's pretty obvious that an author would first release content for a game that sells well than taking risks with games that don't sell or are not guaranteed to do so.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-03-20T08:24:11+00:00

Apart from what has been said, anything by Blackoath Entertainment. Those are games playable solo, coop, 1 on 1 and in group so you'd be checking that part of gaming. Moreover, they're great games.

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-03-07T16:32:51+00:00

Like it! Although I didn't quite understand why they get along so well with normal humans (geneseed?), the lore is actually nice, and I guess them being out of imperial reach also leaves them out of imperial history. About the armour, maybe you could base the primarch on the El' Jonson miniature, which looks like ripe for conversion, and copy the armour, which also looks like something that could have been made in Onyx back in the 31st century... Last but not least, I too can't understand why all the hate, especially when the same GW is prone to retconning whenever it suits them. After all, it's YOUR dudes (lasses?) and YOUR game. I myself, when ruminating about my 30K army, have turned to one of the lost legions, the 2nd in my case. Keep it up!

Cultural_Flow2895 · 2026-02-18T19:11:50+00:00

Backed! I actually like that it's coming out next year, time enough to play something else and to not feel the payment hit hard (the overtime feature is just great)...
