/tg/ - Traditional Games

What is the best way to make a setting during war time? Something World War 1 esque? Some interesting scenarios could go down. Maybe diesel punk tier stuff.

This is still the most underrated part of 40k lore

How much artillery is too much artillery?

Neither. Marines are just upjumped shock troops. The real masters of siege are the Astra Militarum.

I'm going to run a game of Only War and I need pictures. Pictures of the Imperial Guard.

Okay, so the GM hat was passed onto me and we've started character/regiment gen of Only War.
The players chose to be penal worlder drop troopers with an equipment doctrine of combat drugs.
Unfortunately, I know what I want to do but not how to do it. I want them to square off against Eldar on a frontier world, but I can't think good motivations for the Eldar to leave their Crafworlds to set up camp so close to Imperial space. I was thinking Macguffin/Cache of dank resources within the planet, but I need help on specifics. Got any ideas?

In most of the books I've read the Guard get shat on until the Space Marines come and save the day.

Why do people really hate IG players?

These are cute

Have another cool gif

I know, it bothers my inner /k/ too.

>>56609354
if this is a general, can someone at least do a proper OP? what the fuck am I looking at, it looks cool, but dunno what is it.

So are there any other jumps that offer Dies Irae level universe destroying power?

I'd like to know if this list is suitable for friendly games.

Bumping for myself. I've made a list of all of the units I think are cool or otherwise I'd like to use. Interestingly enough, smashing all of my theoryhammmer lists together is about 2500pts. And that's min/maxed to fuck and back again.

It's got
>Scions with plasma out the whazoo
>2 crusader squads with a psyker and a priest in a gryphonne chimera
>a paladin squad with voldus, an apothecary and an ancient
>Celestine
>2 melta dominion squads in repressors
>2 seraphim squads with inferno pistols

What the hell do I cut out? I suppose I'd be perfectly fine without the paladins, if I have crusaders. What do you guys think?

Where do you guys get your bits for sprucing up your models? I don't want to buy sprues of stuff I don't need if I can avoid it, I want just one specific bit and it looks like everywhere I've googled only sells whole-sprue lots.
