To get things a bit back on topic. I may be nicking a legally distinct version of Black Swan's outfit for Gala. It has some nun vibes, so it'd be neat to come in that to the club after I'm done with the campaign.


You get raw-ass links because this forum hates webp as much as me.

Well, youtube is your friend, then.
But a train that travels between the stars?
Galaxy Railways or should I say, Galaxy Express 999???
And is that a card game, as well, used as tarot card?
Could it be Yugiyo?

...Making my troop hub look like a space train would be a whole vibe. I'll think on it.

Also, fun fact: Emperor's Tarot - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Also. I don't know where this came from. And I love Slaanesh. But. Man, Khorne has some lines.

MY IDOLATERS SING A NAME AS THEY WAR FOR MY ATTENTION
KHORNE, THEY CRY OUT AS THEY MAKE OFFERINGS OF BLOOD AND BONE
AS IF VIOLENCE HAS EVER NEEDED A NAME
 
Khorne is also literally the single one of the four which you could in fact expect to hold to a bargain or deal, if his going to stab you it will be to your front and not to your back.

Benefits of him having an honor domain. Although I hear Vashtorr is also very popular because he gives actually useful mutations 100% of the time. They may make your quality of life worse, but they will make you a better warrior, warpsmith or both.

Whereas even Khorne will sometimes turn your head into a dog's or permanently chip away at your personhood for no gain.

Say, would it be crazy that Galatea commit a one-woman attack on the Imperium fleet with her Gunpla and give them the Battle of Loum treatment?

Even if a campaign or mission allows to bring gunpla to a Battleship Gothic thing, Imperial fleets are terrifying.

The only recourse is broading with the gunpla and be out of it fast enough the self destruct and everyone else firing on the vessel doesn't get me.

Fair enough. Even the Principality of Zeon's forces suffered heavy losses from the Battle of Loum and it was the basis of General Revil's "Zeon Is Exhausted!" speech when he noticed their current state and told everyone about it in his public broadcast.

*I meant Revil, but autocorrect got in the way.

Yea. It's just that, while 40k still fails at scale as all sci-fi, it does get closer than most. Their ships are behemoths to the point that, as I said, the 22 meter tall Quad Wing can do real boarding action.

It just doesn't have enough firepower. The ships are too damn huge and there's too many of them. All it can hope to do is get in and tear to the reactor and hope setting that off mission-kills the vessel without getting her in the blast. Then do it another twenty times minimum. Without the Imperium going "fucketh thee" and detonating Vortex Torpedos or some other horrible shit either inside themselves for a self-destruct that'll get her or firing on the boarded vessel with the same to get her.

And it's never a good idea to bet so much as a bent penny against Imperium forces doing something spiteful and suicidal, much less the entire mission.

Yeah, 40k is a literal hell of a setting to try and do any sort of good crossover content with and like the only things that give the IoM serious trouble in the wider scifi settings is fucking Commanders and that should tell you something about how high level you need to be to even think about taking the fight to them.

I have been further told that Imperial ship reactors run so goddamn fucking dirty that even a mobile suit's pilot would get at least sick. Apparently changing fuel rods is a one way trip and you have to hope the servitor can survive long enough to actually see it through.

Although at the same time, imperial ships are basically floating city states. So the way to go is to nuke the bridge and leave everyone too busy scrambling to fill the power vacuum and establish a new chain of command to attack.

This still does nothing for the spite sacrificial plays that these guys live and breathe.

Ya. It's a whole goddamn galaxy in constant war and it does a better attempt at most to portray that. Other sci-fi settings are both smaller scale and less specced into existential wars.

The trick for doing a crossover with it is do as I have been repeatedly told about, focus on your dudes. Think of it like a DnD campaign. Is the Blood War going on down there? Yes, absolutely. Are the Far Realms being their horrible selves? Yuuup.

Does that mean that the group of adventurers going to save a dragonborn from a princess' dungeon are going to encounter a Pit Fiend or a Nautiloid? Fuck no.

Keep the scope manageable, not everything has to change the landscape of the entire goddamn galaxy.

Terrible. Horrible. Disgusting.

I want ten more.

Have this:

May name the shaman Wagyu. As both a bray shaman and a beastwoman, she would have been downright pampered and she's certainly going to be fatty in all the right places.
