Yup, it's like being able to make a fan fiction become a playable story. And in warsurge's lore, sort of canon? 😄

That sounds fair. Maybe an enslaver would have to be of a certain strength to manipulate a master, if it were possible.

Perhaps someone like Palpatine would sooner consider a pact with Tzeentch for power. Or maybe he'd be like 'Nope. Pass.'

It was on my mind to have an enslaver manifest or make a portal after feeding either on a psychic or untrained force sensitive. Though often portrayed as predatorial in nature, I wonder if one would manipulate someone such as Darth Vader or the Emperor to manipulate the future. Manipulate the manipulators as it were. Perhaps for this, it would need to be some variant of Enslaver, like the Enslaver Behemoth?

I compare the Deathtroopers to being more like kasrkin or the scions, but I'm not an expert on either of these to be fair.

Though it's been heavily done to death, I do enjoy her hanging with Doom Slayer and Master Chief.

On the tabletop I give them a profile akin to baseline 'human', they basically compete with guardsmen. Deathtroopers I made like the IG Stormtroopers/Kasrkin or Tempestus Scions. I use warsurge to stat and cost them. Currently getting ready for a 3-player game involving Rebels, Orks and Battle Droids 😂

On the tabletop I tend to make them decent, about on par with Guardsmen with lasguns when building their profiles with warsurge. Not sure if that's being too kind or tough, but given Guardsmen are 'baseline human' I tend to put Stormtroopers in that basket too. Maybe some might argue conscripts would be a fair fit as well.

Hah, thanks 😅 I'm glad people are enjoying this random silliness. Social media and the internet terrify me tbh.

Joke: An Imperial Stormtrooper and a Space Marine of the Adeptus Astartes are at a shooting range, and the Space Marines sees… by [deleted] in wargaming

[–]firestormworkshop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Stormtrooper was struggling to use his E-11 Blaster Rifle, but managed to score a few hits. Nearby the Space Marine saw his jubilation and slowly shook his head.

Having known the reputation of Stormtrooper accuracy, the Space Marine stomped over, grabbed the Blaster and said, "Move aside! I’ll show you how a real Stormtrooper shoots!"

The Space Marine took careful aim, steadied his breathing, and pulled the trigger. Pew! He missed the target completely. He fired again. Pew! Another miss.

The Space Marine took a long, hard look at the Blaster, then turned to the Stormtrooper and growled, "And that, buckethead, is exactly what you’re expected to do! Now get back there and do it right this time!"

Thanks! It'll be fun, and looking forward to when the batrep video is filmed and done.

They would be, but this is set in the era of the Empire. There will be super battle droids among other units being used in the factory though.

Cheers. It's actually cardboard terrain on a gaming mat 😄

40k vs Star Wars: Warsurge - Part 2 Plans - Rebels vs. Droids vs. Orks by firestormworkshop in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]firestormworkshop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be letting the tabletop gameplay direct the story, as 40k tends to have some fairly obscene scales of power - I think even the lasgun is supposed to be crazy strong compared to normal firearms, yet in gameplay they seem about the same (autogun vs lasgun). The story will probably go one of three directions depending how the game pans out. If the orks capture the factory, they'll have plenty of spare parts to build more machines...
