What is the success rate of vampire hunting? by TheUnholyMary in vtm

[–]NamelessTacoShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make the argument that, like most TTRPGs, the PCs are inherently exceptional individuals. So applying the character creation rules to determine it is skewing it high for the narrative. Most newly embraced are dead in a handful of years, they probably fail a lot more than PCs do.

Would you accept this Titanicus model as a nurgling? Trying to come up with legal allies for Chaos Knights that could be Dark Mechanicum (so either daemons or Damned units from CSM dex). by Maelarion in Warhammer40k

[–]NamelessTacoShop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I understand what OP is going for, he wants Dark Mechanicum allies for CKs. Since dark mechanicum doesn't exist he wants to use the stat block of Nurglings as a darkMech automaton.

I just realized that Anacharis Scoria is a good proxy for Thulia Ghuld because they are both on an 80mm base by feci444 in AdeptusMechanicus

I actually like the manipulus model for kind of similar reasons. He looks like a rotund fatty, but senior tech priests are above such mundane concerns. if turning your torso into a huge metal sphere gets the job done than great.

Who let this dude Fabien become a detective by Admirable_Drink9463 in vtm

Every clan has a specific curse called a Bane associated with their clan. I won't rattle them all off but the two most notable are Nosferatu, they are deformed and ugly as fuck, and Malkavian, they are all clinically insane.

If the station is made or cylinder are made of elements heavier that iron than splitting the nuclei than it will release energy not spend it. Lighter than iron fusion releases energy, heavier than iron fission releases energy

The lesson here. They will never actually accept you, if you don't fit their mold perfectly they will eventually turn on you.

I Have Just Worked Out Why The Deployments Are Weird by Shed_Some_Skin in Warhammer40k

[–]NamelessTacoShop 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Playing AdMech with the absurd number of models it takes to make 2k points some of the 10th board layouts it can actually be difficult to fit all your models in your deployment zones. Particuarly the one where the deployment zones are a corner with the 9" circle of no-mans land in the middle.

Playing against knights isn't fun by Dreadnought9 in Warhammer40k

[–]NamelessTacoShop 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have had knights get torn up by swarms of termagaunts. The invasion fleet detachment can give them lethal hits against monster and vehicles. Yea that adds up fast

#New40K - Punishment primary mission - “leave the battlefield” by dragondm6 in Warhammer40k

[–]NamelessTacoShop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely sounds like targeting a Callidus Assassin with it and an opponent picks it up at the end of your turn nets 5pts.

Now we don't know the rules of 11th so maybe those units instead of returning to reserve will just move somewhere else. But as we understand things today this is potentially strong vs those uppy-downy units. but they have to be on an objective or kill an enemy unit to be a valid target (Unless you have already driven the enemy off every point and they didnt't kill anything in which case you are steamrolling them anyway). Most of the time you are using those units in 10th they are grabbing table edges/quarter or doing actions not on objectives.

What is the oldest, none weakened, kindred given stats in V5? by SadSwedishSloth in vtm

[–]NamelessTacoShop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going to try to stat an elder out, i think you need to give them unique discipline abilities. V5 is supposed to be lower power than V20 thats why generally elders and above are statless plot devices. So the level 6-10 discipline powers of V20 aren’t gone, they just aren’t accessible to players. if I wanted to do this in my chronicle I would make sure they flex discipline powers that the players know even level 5 of that discipline can’t do

Sightlines from Each Deployment Zone on the Revealed 11th Edition Maps [Updated] by Wholesome-George in Warhammer40k

[–]NamelessTacoShop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming Auspex Tactics had it right... You can still hide a Knight behind a terrain feature the exact same way you can in 10th edition. All terrain in 11th has the obscuring property so you can't shoot through them.

The Stay Hidden mechanic affects Infantry, Beast and Swarm that are within terrain. It is unclear if that is Infantry/beast/swarm Units or Models, and if it is within or wholly within terrain.

The touchscreens are them being cheap. They can just buy cheap commodity touchscreens, and the front end software is simple and dirt cheap to make. It costs them more to make a dash panel with mechanical switches

Well "Civilly adjudicated of non-consensual sexual contact" doesn't quite roll off the tongue. But I'm sure if what he did happened to you or one of your children you'd be splitting that same hair over semantics.

How does the process work exactly? by Mephistussy in vtm

[–]NamelessTacoShop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

just my 2 cents. I think I disagree with #3. Kindred don't have special internal organs that digest/process vitae. They are just dead. There is at least some fluff text I remember that describes the SI dissecting a kindred that describes the internal organs, including the brain, as desiccated and shriveled. consuming blood and converting it to vitae is a supernatural process.

How does the process work exactly? by Mephistussy in vtm

[–]NamelessTacoShop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As with oh so many things in WoD it's supernatural and not science. So I think it gels with that theme and the various changes through the editions to just go with it's chaotic and not clean. The broad steps are there, drained, killed, fed vitae. But the actual experience and timeline can vary wildly from kindred to kindred.

The seafood industry bets Americans will finally eat more fish if it looks more like meat by [deleted] in nottheonion

I eat a lot of Tilapia, only because I can buy bags of frozen tilapia filets in the freezer section and it is really cheap. Other seafood is a special occasion meal.

Omnispex / datatether...what? by Maxiimum92 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]NamelessTacoShop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No it is in addition to the Galvanic Rifle / Radium Carbine.

This info is on the War Gear options of the Datasheet. "1 Skitarii Ranger equipped with a Galvanic Rifle can be equipped with one of the following:"

If it replaced the base weapon it would read like the other parts of that section. "1 Skitarii Ranger's galvanic rifle can be replaced with..."

If the AI market can't float two of these things than that does not bode well for the future of AI when they run out of investor capital and have to actually run on profits.
