you could have it so the chapter takes more serfs than usual and uses them soldiers, but some serfs are needed for all the menial but necessary tasks to keep a chapter running.
Warhammer 40k General
For a planet with extreme, but tolerable temperatures, (preferably towards cold) temperatures, would it be better:
-F - yellow-white star (slightly bigger than the sun, longer seasons, more moons).
-A planet with an unusual tilted axis or unusual elongated orbit?
-A geography that encourages more extreme climatology like larger oceans, bigger mountains etc?
Skitarii/IG versus Necrons. The Crons player was playing a CAD, was new, lost his monolith turn 2 from meltabomb vets, and got shot to shit, but went pretty well with his deceiver, his lychguard and lord. End game Skittles had more units alive, but all his tanks and most of his IG got wiped. There was only the C'tan and three lychguard/the lord left
Jesus H. Christ, the only true answer.
>What were the armies?
My Ravenwing Dark Angels v. His Ultramarines at 2500pts
>What happened over the course of the game?
We had the last Maelstrom Mission (contact lost?) where you start with 6 and go down. He scored 11 points turn one.
>Who won?
Final score was 16 to 5 my loss.
>Did anything spectacular, awesome, ridiculous or just plain funny occur?
We have faced each other many times but this was the first for this point value and he did a really good job of keeping my army jinking.
This was just a good normal pickup game nothing crazy unfortunately.
Never heard of a Chaos God by that name, guess he must be one of the Z-listers.
My local gw is running a tournament in the coming weeks and the only rule is that you're only going to be using the contents of the "get started" kits. I'm trying to decide between either the tau box or the necron box and am keen to hear what people think I should use.
Nurgle because I'm really pessimistic, miserable and I'd probably be willing to settle for a god that pretends to love me.
HoR killteam
200 points Orks vs 250 points emperors children, My boss nob carried the game hardcore, sweeping aside cultists and surviving a hail of noise marine fire like nobodies business, chopped them to bits too.
I completely forgot about two of my storm boys for the entire game that i hid behind various bits of cover and two of his chosen beat an entire squad of boys to death in melee. The boys charged too. (1 died form overwatch, 4+ to hit and 4+ to wound, made all of them)
Mission was hold and control/king of the hill. Fairly decisive victory for the orks(50% of the orks remaining including the boss nob vs 2 chosen and his leader)
I'm no astrophysicist, but why would a larger brighter star make colder temperatures? Wouldn't a tilt not really change anything because it's such a minute change in distance it wouldn't really matter? I'm also not sure about how geography changes climatology. I suppose it could be a planet with less volcanic activity? Look at fenris. They orbit a K-star which is orange/red so cooler in real life, though described as pale white in the lore. And has a very oval path of orbit. Valhalla got hit by a comet fucking it over. Just some ideas.
