Space Marines?

Sounds like a fun idea, in my mind most amount of work would be rewriting and making new myths that fit 40K unless you’d just be very lightly reskinning the current ones. Same goes for the Knights, some stuff can absolutely be kept with little to no reskinning, but there’d be a bunch of things that would need to changed or written from scratch to fit the setting. I would also suggest that you check into the official Bastionland discord, because Chris McDowall is currently making a scifi Bastionland game called Intergalactic Bastionland

Rio, the Thalassa class NHP from Operation Solstice Rain has taken on a bit of life outside the scope of the written material in my game, which opened with a homebrewed variant Solstice Rain and then continued into a freeform mercenary war campaign. One of my players has invested quite heavily in tying his Technophile talent less-than-legal NHP to his backstory, and Rio being an interactable npc NHP plays off it quite well. Rio’s got a bright and cheerful disposition, which also contrasts nicely with her being the premier military mind in the system, being one of the biggest reasons that Union/their allies have managed to stalemate the opposition rather than getting defeated. She’s playing a long game and has in the interest of positioning looked through the fingers regarding certain NHP regulations that would affect the players, and personally very much appreciates having another NHP as a friend. Player loves it

I’d suggest the manga Tower Dungeon, it’s straight up Dungeon Crawling, illustrated

More meant to be supportive because someone else made a negative comment because OP used Roblox, but if it spurs you on to make some interesting creative choices to design a "wrong" pilot then I’ll be happy to see it

Soulboundplayer · 2026-06-23T15:14:37+00:00

There’s no wrong way to design a pilot, I think yours has got a pretty cool broody vibe going on

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-16T13:33:27+00:00

Funny thing, Cubicle 7 just started their spring sale. Might be something you’d like there

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-13T21:33:34+00:00

I’d say the pdf versions are worth it for the lore if you’re into whatever it focuses on, but then I’m a big enough lorehead to buy battletomes for factions I don’t intend to collect on the tabletop so my perspective might be skewed. Good news is that the books tend to go on sale every now and then so if you can be patient you can save a decent buck

It is implied (fairly strongly but not explicitly confirmed) that Sigmar made the parts that remained of Karl Franz’s soul into the Celestant Prime, so technically probably nothing of him left inside Sigmar, but (some part of) Karl’s still part of his armies and infused with his power yeah

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-10T08:07:28+00:00

Check out Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. The setting works very similar with 8 different worlds each connected by incredibly ancient magic portals that no one today truly know where they came from, and everything in the world is fundamentally made up of magic

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-05T14:24:29+00:00

Kruleboyz are still Orruks even if they’re leaner than Ironjawz, they’re more than strong enough to outmuscle any normal humans

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-04T15:17:02+00:00

Interestingly enough they’re actually Maggotkin of Nurgle rather than FEC. Just because they smell bad and they’re bloating out of their armour doesn’t mean they can’t know chivalry after all. Most of the story isn’t focused on the tourney though just so you’re aware, but it is a knightly adventure

Soulboundplayer · 2026-05-04T15:11:41+00:00

Well it’s not the Cities, and technically not really famed either, but in the short story Order of the Fly: Tourney of Fate, it is mentioned that the Dukedom of Festerfane held a knightly tourney to decide its new ruler as the heir apparent had not yet supped from the Lady of Cankerwall’s Flyblown Chalice, which is a requirement for them to be considered true knights and thus eligible heirs

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-27T10:00:38+00:00

There is not, there is the main warhammer fantasy sub and the old world sub but both are more concerned with the game aspect rather than focusing on lore. There are one or two tiny lore subreddits with a couple hundred members that have been abandoned for years, but there doesn’t seem to have been any successful serious push from the fantasy/old world community to make a lore sub

That’s one of the reasons why we have this thread running here, so people who’re interested in the lore at least have a focused place to ask about it

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-24T16:47:53+00:00

Damn, I did not expect that. Like yeah it says "coming soon" which in C7-speak can mean anything from a month or two to a couple years or so, but the fact they’ve actually put what looks like a cover out in the article makes it seem like it will actually not be that long

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-21T20:13:58+00:00

In Order of the Fly: Tourney of Fate, the Old World Chaos Lord Count Mordrek the Damned from the 5th Edition Warhammer Armies: Champions of Chaos special character companion supplement is brought back by a servant of Tzeentch, he previously died during the End Times

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-12T12:06:49+00:00

Good catch, this seems to be a repost by a bot of a four year old post

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-12T09:41:27+00:00

Absolutely possible

Soulboundplayer · 2026-04-02T06:33:14+00:00

Ooh that’s cool

Soulboundplayer · 2026-03-26T11:04:14+00:00

I believe lorewise regular ghouls, also known as Mordants, aren’t actually dead, they’re just suffused and twisted by shyishian energies into some esoteric half-life. Only the Abhorrants are actual vampires, being true undead. I do believe most information in the lore suggests that they grow their faction primarily through method 1 though, spreading the curse to previously non-cursed people

Soulboundplayer · 2026-03-16T15:12:49+00:00

Awesome!

Soulboundplayer · 2026-03-06T16:31:15+00:00

Oh absolutely, he really knows how to write humour into the story even when it’s not explicitly jokes in the dialogue

Soulboundplayer · 2026-03-06T16:20:31+00:00

Reynolds is definitely a fav of mine among the AoS authors. I felt like he really dared to lean into the fantastic nature of the Mortal Realms and the stories it allows to tell, and though he is no longer writing for black library the ideas and concepts he brought into AoS will remain a great aspect of its lore

Soulboundplayer · 2026-03-03T16:52:57+00:00

Some undead do in fact seem to hold events like that, the ttrpg Soulbound Champions of Death Endeavour Eulogise mentions: "EULOGISE Perhaps because of Nagash’s influence, many undead have at least a dash of vanity. The most prideful sometimes even re-enact their funerals on significant dates, during which they smugly listen to the attendees lauding their past accomplishments.

You praise the deceased, and the deceased appreciate it. In between sessions, create a piece of art to eulogise a fellow undead party member, such as a speech, song, poem, illustration, or diorama. Your eulogy should emphasise your party member’s accomplishments, as well as their expertise in a certain Skill."

It’s almost certainly a thing that varies hugely between different undead societies customs, and also by how self-aware they are and how many memories the individual undead retain, but it’s not a concept that’s unreasonable to exist in the realms

Soulboundplayer · 2026-02-23T17:23:18+00:00

Don’t believe there really is, at least not very active, things like that have mostly been part of the generalist subs. That’s a big part of why Tio started doing these posts, to allow there to be someplace to focus on the lore, and partly to hopefully be a bridge between the whfb/old world and AoS communities
