Would be interesting to see the Imperium full on at work. Black Ships traveling from sector to sector picking up psykers, Imperial ships picking up Tithes of goods, men, or otherwise.
The only way I can see that being worth adding is if it somehow affected the strategic situation of the sector. Such as causing bureaucratic snafu's in the middle of a siege, or shipping 100 baneblades away from the Imperial Guard garrison.
It is the Muton domination strike! A show of dominance from the superior.Would anyone be defending it as artistic license if Mutons had two-foot codpieces on their armor? If X-Com armor for female operators had had literal breastplates? Or, for that matter, if Thin Men sounded like Agent Smith?Absolutely and without the slightest shred of remorse. In fact, I would probably be calling for custom melee attack animations.
People complained about Argonians going from no breasts in Morrowind to having breasts in the later games as well. Now, of course, if you search for something like "elder scrolls argonians breasts", you can find people confusedly asking why they have breasts without being aware that they didn't in Morrowind (because they've never played it).
Finally gave the game a shot. It's interesting but I dunno, I'd need to play more to get a real feel for it. The lack of last hitting and stuff doesn't seem to have ruined the game as much as I expected, it's definitely changed up laning though. I was always more into the zoning and trading aspects and pretty bad at last hitting and actual creep management.If Malfurion isn't dying then they likely were having trouble's to begin with, his lack of primary burst heal and his main CC don't defend him as well as some of the others.
Tried Valla and Malfurion in actual games, kicked all kinds of ass with Valla but the Malfurion game went pretty badly. Heroes are definitely a lot tougher in this than the other games. Valla was tough early on but pretty soon I was crushing everybody one on one, and Malfurion just never died at all, I think I only died twice before the final pushes.
Oh, shoot. I made a mistake. For some reason I used the circumference of Earth where it should be the radius. There's 4 guardsmen per square metre.
They probably can't look down at the tyranids going on about their business.
There's no problem that can't be solved by more guardsmen...Spoiler: Image (click to show/hide)
And they say that the Tyranids will swarm and devour everything. The true threat is the mighty stomach of the Imperial Guard.
Though that is an interesting thought. How does a planet sustain so many infantry when they get deployed there? Do they bring food supplies with them or subsist off local produce?
In addition, to his Mechanicus "brethren", a Master of the Forge is often seen as the worst kind of Heretek, loyal to the Quest for Knowledge in name only, a warrior who does not hesitate to bend and adapt a Machine Spirit to his needs instead of carefully entreating and revering it as the Cult Mechanicus prescribes. While often excessive, there is a core of truth in the Mechanicus' accusations, for a Master of the Forge is first and formost a Space Marine, a warrior of the Emperor tasked with ensuring that the Astartes in his care always have the means to wage war at their disposal. Few Masters of the Forge hesitate to modify or even completely overhaul a weapon or vehicle to better fit their Chapter's need, to the dismay and outrage of the more conservative Tech-Priests.I don't see it as stretching myself, but then I see it as more of something one can learn overtime, adn even the Tech Priests at times refuse to share any knowledge gained with another, lest they feel they taint it or plan to use it for their own usage.
New patterns of existing vehicles developed by a Master of the Forge are often grudgingly accepted and blessed by the Mechanicum only after painstakingly slow and lengthy examinations, when they are accepted at all. Some Masters of the Forge, tired of waiting for an unrequired approval from dogmatic non-combatants, have simply spread the specifications of their craft to their fellows of other Chapters, bypassing the Mechanicus entirely, which has only served to stress and antagonize the relationship between Astartes and Mechanicus further.
Battlefleet Gothic provides a base for possible detailed space combat in the future. Fluff-wise though, Marine ships are supposed to excel in planetary assault roles, while being by design inferior to the Navy in pure space-slogging capability. This so that should a chapter go rogue, Navy can blast them out of space.
(or how a Tech Marine Forgemaster pulls off a singular feat like that without knowledge and help directly from the Mechanicus)
Yeah, I think you're right. My reading of it makes me think Daemonhost But again, since there's no mechanical difference, that's why I just asked for a flavor text change so it's more clear. (I did preface this with pushing my glasses up.) It would be kinda cool if there was a difference between manifestation and actual possession. But that's a pretty minor want. (For the record though, under most circumstances, I think a manifestation would be worse than possession.)
It's the difference between using a psyker to enter the material realm (which all daemons do) and a daemon of Khorne possessing/skinriding a psyker (which they don't do. They kill them.) That's why all I really want is a descriptive text change. The end result is the same, dead psyker.
