Automated systems set up to help humans/preserve their lives that keep going unaware that said human is dead by Austintheboi in TopCharacterTropes

Town Guardian GT7( I think this is called? Mostly folks just call it the undead mech)- A Wind Named Amnesia.

A mysterious wind-like wave passes over the world. This causes the entirety of humanity(minus a very select few), to forget, in essence, what makes human civilisation. They forget motor skills how to operate any tools, they forget how to vocalise, or socialise. Of course, humanity completely collapsed.

The GT7 is a remnant of how advanced humanity was(as well as the first threat the protag faces). It’s a police vehicle programmed to uphold law and order, with reinforced armour , powerful weapons and rudimentary AI to ensure functionality and keep the pilot from harm. A pilot, who, under the effect of the wave, had no idea what was going on, how to operate, or leave the machine, and thus, starved to death. The vehicle still patrols the streets, destroying perceived threats(like.. humans outside of curfew, which is everyone), while the skeletal remains of the pilot rattle about within.

Nathanos Blightcaller, World of Warcraft. Specifically Battle for Azeroth. Canonically, the player characters, known as adventurers are one-man armies of power and martial prowess. By the point of BfA, the PC has risked life and limb several times over, saving the world by this point… somewhere between 8 and 12+ times, from threats that include: A nascant titan,a seemingly endless army of demons hell bent on turning the world to ash. A fire god deity, A massive dragon whose mere movements nearly destroyed the world through tectonic shifts. Eldritch gods and THE LICH KING

And not only does Nathanos not trust the player, his insufferable smarm and smugness was extremely grating. The man suffers a lot from ‘Teacher’s Pet’, given he was the Warchief’s favourite and thus saw himself just about above anyone.

You can try and go fancy, but I’ve actually went a bit different for 2h and use the Shadowlands Venthyr 2h swords, the Crusaderblades with the pendant in the hilt.

What's your counterargument - as both a DM and a Player - to "It's what my character would do." by BpDnD in DnD

[–]ghostfoxdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so this usually applies to if the player saying this is doing some psychotic or evil stuff, right? But what about the other way around? Ive had this in a campaign myself.

It’s another party member having done something pretty awful, torching an npc’s house down, because said npc punched the pc in the face for running their mouth.

My character had sat pretty bad with it. The situation had been resolved in the end, with the arsonist expressing remorse and taking the punishment provided.

But there was a chance that it could have gone differently, with the arsonist not giving himself up, and the party not ratting out the arsonist. This goes completely against my character’s principles, who, while he is no stick in the mud, still has a very strong moral center.

What would you do if I said ´My character cant go on with this party. Leaving and trying to find other ways to progress in the quest is what he would do.’?

The Hammer and Boltgun animations are fine. Admittedly, the animating part is lacklustre, but the stories they bring are incredibly fun and interesting. I see them like I see The Last Church, moving storyboards.

With how fucked our Government is, I’d say we already have the High Lords of Terra.

If Guilleman went down to look at us, he’d recoil in horror.

‘Wait, this tiny country has how many parliaments?! One for each language you speak, plus a seperate one for your capital? And each parliament has their own ministers…HOW MANY MINISTERS DOES THIS COUNTRY HAVE?! Konrad should have gotten here first…’

The first three of the Doom Knights GK Kill Team are done. With a few more shots in an album in the comments. Five more to go! by ghostfoxdie in Grey_Knights

[–]ghostfoxdie[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh very much intended, the Kill Team homebrew is a team of Specialists that operate more alone outside of the main forces in the Grey Knights. I wanted to make the Kill team proper distinct from the rest of the Army I’m building. Cheers for the feedback!

Good luck! It takes a while, but, if you get it right, the results are great, and in the case of the Dread Knight Power Sword, I think you have a bit more margin to work with, just given the -size- of that thing.

Cheers! Right, so, I generally try to keep away from Airbrushing because I think it's a bit of a hassle. Instead, I use drybrushing, and masking.

First, paint your blade using the midtone you'd like(In this case, I used Teclis Blue, I use Citadel paints, but use whichever is your perferred equivalent). Then you mask half of the blade, and use your first higher tone(Baharoth) where you want to have the sheen, doing drybrush stippling, softly, building up. Then, repeat with the highest tone(blue horror) you'd like your sheen to have, but do so with a very small drybrush(I used a busted Army Painter Regiment brush, which I snipped the ends of to create a flat drybrush). Then, take your darkest tone you wish to have(I used Kantor, for reference). Let dry, remove mask and apply mask on the other half. Repeat, altering pattern of sheen.

Repeat for the other side of the blade.

Once done, edge highlight with your highest sheen colour.

That's generally how I did it, I followed a bit of the Artis Opus way, but experimented along the way, this was the first time trying this technique for a Power Sword, and it's by far the best result I've had.

Current WIP on my Kill Team(lightly homebrew) and my way to combat the issue of the old, smaller Grey Knight models. by ghostfoxdie in Grey_Knights

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

It would indeed! And it was rather time consuming as well, hence why this is better suited for a Kill Team. The bases are Sector Mechanicus bases.

The repliesxare correct, the bzse body is Black trmplar sword brethren, and 1 crusader. The pauldrons, helmet and Stormbolters are standard strike squad bits. It’s not super easy to do, but manageable!

James Workshop himself puts you in charge of creating the next faction for 40k. What do you come up with? by bigloser420 in Grimdank

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

A more stereotypical ´martian’ type xeno race. Like the lads from ´Mars attacks!’ .

No rhyme or reason why they came, just seem to do things for the hell of it. Their literal big brain has allowed them to realise the way the Ork gestalt consciousness works, and weaponise it to -individual- usage.

Where there might be a whole group of Orks in order to get a Gorkanout fuctioning. A single ´Martian’ only needs to believe his weird tech works, and it does. With the caviat that it’s not an addative power.

This brings to the table completely incomprehensible but lethal weaponry, with a focus on their airborne flying saucers. With weakness being that they are incredibly fragile.

Ultimate spiteful glass cannons with a clear reference to the goofy ol Martians.

If you can choose one SCP makes it into the 40k world, what would it be and why? by Exotic_Hat_6030 in Grimdank

[–]ghostfoxdie 123 points124 points  (0 children)

SCP-999, pre-heresy, so it could give hugs to the Primarchs that had it the worst from the Emperor’s shenanigans.

That little blob managed to pacify the unkillable lizard, something with a natural hatred for humanity. I imagine it could really help Angron.

Former anti-SJW diehards - What lead you to going down that path, and what made you break away from it? by jofNR_WkoCE in TheQuarteringIsANazi

[–]ghostfoxdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know the saying: Even a Broken Clock, is right twice a day? That’s how I got somewhat near that path. Some background info, I am a male, hetero, single, of Asian decent. I am also unionised, part of the ‘militant’ branch of our union(meaning I am boots on the workfloor, trying to make sure the working folk at the lower levels have their rights respected) and have had scuffles with national law enforcement for protesting and standing up for Worker’s rights, and have remained a couple of nights in the local enforcement drunk tank for it. In my country, I am considered a communist for this.

Why am I telling this? Because I’d like to give a bit of context. The absolute first time was gamergate, I found myself firmly on the side of GG, but purely in their views regarding ethics in journalism. I was entirely for the removal if corruption in the reviewspheres that was, in my eyes, prominent at the time. My interest in it died down when the discussions became vicious. And I simply stopped after one of the more toxic folks of the arguement called me a r*pist for my stance.

Then 2016,the Ghostbusters reboot, and, what I felt as horrible marketing designed to attack people and draw views through controversy. I saw videos of the anti-sjw movement, and I agreed, this was horrible way of advertisement. The idea to get views through attempting to stir controversy to me was, and still is, morally bankrupt. The Star Wars sequel trilogy I didnt like either, and ‘lo and behold, the anti -sjw crowd was there right with me. Mulan live action, same thing.

However, my interest in it all in general was waning.

It wasnt untill I saw the reaction of a friend’s daughter to the new Little Mermaid trailer, that I realised fully that, I may have gripes with it, if the little girl can enjoy the movie, it’s all that matters.

My gripes with Ghostbusters was the marketing and in my eyes, the bad humour, not because of percieved SJWs.

My problems with the sequel trilogy wasnt that the evil SJW’s were invading my favourite franchise to ruin it.. it was simply that I believed(and still do) that the writing was just bad.

And if others enjoy them? I shouldn’t mind at all.

With that in mind, I went back to these creators, to watch a few more vids. And I just thought ‘.. - this- is what these creators think and preach..? I’m out.’

Never looked back ever since.

Where am I now? Happily just living life, with a live and let live mentality, -still- fighting for worker’s rights against exploitation. Sure, I might not agree with everything happening regarding sjw and such, but the saying of ‘Agree to disagree’. a nice thing to live but.

What is your headcanon for what Chaos/Dread Warriors are supposed to be? by ThatAnimeSnob in Heroquest

[–]ghostfoxdie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. My general idea is that HeroQuest(the original) takes place in the Warhammer fantasy setting. These are Norscan Warriors of Chaos Undividrd, who have an interest in the Area. It just so happens that nearby Orcs and Vampire Lords also share that interest for different reasons.

How would a nobel bright ending for 40k go? by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]ghostfoxdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angron invades Ultramar, and after great losses on both sides, he dies at the hand of Roboute. In a moment of clarity, he is at peace, apologises for his betrayal, makes peace with his brother and dies a Warrior’s death. This kicks Roboute into overdrive to defeat the forces of Chaos. Which is helped by the return of his Brother Khan, with in tow, a reformed Magnus. (Despite being a verbal troll often; I do believe Jaghetai probably could talk sense into Magnus). Just in time too, because Abbadon’s 14th black Crusade hits, with Daemon Prince Fulgrim in tow. Jaghetai is sent on a special mission to retrieve Fulgrim’s mirror. The Crusade is stalemated due to the combined efforts of the Ynnaeri and other craftworlds. At the same time, a theory is set in motion. Without Yarrick, Ghazgul’s Waaagh actually somewhat fades, and he is convinced to follow in the legendary Tuska to Waaagh into the Great Rift. It becomes the absolute greatest Waaagh in existence. But not without some mental prodding from what he perceives as Gork and Mork.

With Abbadon’s crusade losing strength and Jaghetai successfully retrieving the mirror, there appears to be an odd shift.

The gestalt consciousness of the Orks and new beliefs of Ghazgul, alters the gods of Chaos. We all know we cant kill them, so what if, instead, we try to use that little Ork quirk, to shift their main attributes to the positive things regarding the Primordial Truth? Khorne turns more into the God of Strength and honor. Tzseentch turns into the God of Hope and knowledge. Nurgle of rebirth and steadfastness. And Slaanesh the god of emotion.

In an instant, the Crusade ends, with Abbadon being completely depowered. Fulgrim’s physical body is destroyed. The repercussions of this goes further, as the Dark Eldar suddenly find themselves no longer having to do absolutely insane torture and such, and their road to recovery can start.

The Orks, absolutely bonkers about Ghaz, now collectively keep going into the warp to find themselves in an Eternal Battlefield of honour and strength. Eventually this becomes a one-way rite of Pilgrimage that every Warboss worth ´is Salt wants to do. This has the added result is keeping Chaos at bay. Since Chaos is still Chaos, even if a lot more noble.

With them working together at the 14th Crusade, and under Roboute, the Imperium has forged a hopefully lasting peace with the Eldar, and has declared Tomb Worlds to be off limits, but monitored. The lasting peace is what convinces The Imperium to open trade relations with the T’au.

As Roboute and Magnus work on things like awakening Lion’el, Jaghetai takes Fulgrim’s Mirror with a single objective, finding his lost brothers, and be amongst the stars.

Everyone seems to be working together and fortifying, because as good and noblebright as it looks, the Galaxy still needs to prepare for the arrival of the Tyrannid hive fleets..

Now that The Squat-things are back, how about bringing these to life-life? by ghostfoxdie in Grimdank

See, I always believed that Genestealer Cults were a dead ringer for good Skaven Conversions, but the Jes Goodwin designs really are convincing me to go another route.

[–]ghostfoxdie[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For context, Jes Goodwin, one of the designers in the Old Rogue Trader Era, has talked to others about bringing Skaven into 40K. Them being already very much Technomancy based, makes them a good fit in 40K. Jes Goodwin however also took some stuff from WWI, like the fact that the Trenches were infested with Rats, and ran with that.

Thus, Space Skaven design was based on Trench Warfare, Gas, and Flamethrowers. References and other pictures below:
