About Mech Pilots:

There are many different kinds of mech pilots. But they can be arranged into a spectrum with monotask on one side and multitask on the other.

Multitask pilots have a life and skill sets outside of their combat vehicle. They can still be dangerous without their ride because of their tactical and political acumen. Examples of such pilots can be found in Titanfall, Lancer, and Battletech/Mechwarrior.

Monotask pilots are essentially organic control devices mounted inside the mech. They have slightly more personality and agency than other system components like an autoloader or jet thrusters. But the pilot is just as useless as those things if removed from the greater whole. Examples of these pilots can be found in Armored Core and Warhammer 40,000.

There are pilots that can fall between these extremes such as conscripted civilians, venerated sacrifices, or artificial intelligences. Examples of these beings can be found in Mobile Suit Gundam, Gen:Lock, or, again, Warhammer 40k.

There's no wrong way to portray pilots. That being said, I'd love to read stories where pilots from across the spectrum interact with each other.

Always love to see this pop up.

Wherever you are, whatever your doing, you always need to take time out and just enjoy yourself.

They came for D&D and I said nothing, for I was not an elf.

They came for Warhammer, and I said nothing, for I was not a space marine.

But they made one mistake: They attacked MY HOME PLANET!

Dark Elf Black Guard for Warhammer: The Old World slowly getting there just need to built up 1 or two more glaze layers and highlights. (And touch it up of course) for the honour of the rightful Phoenix King! For the Witch King! The traitor even kingdoms of Ulthuan will feel the cruelest kiss of our steel!

Honestly surprised at the lack of halo war games. Like, Bolt Action- or 40k-style.

A smaller kill-team focused style like Necromunda's probably a good idea, rather than whole armies. Just because the factions I can think of are kinda limited. Like, the biggest changes between some would probably be perk/ability/traits.

You've got UNSC, Insurrectionists, Covenant, Heretic Covenant, Flood, Prometheans, Banished, Swords of Sanghelios... maybe ONI? Kig'Yar pirates?

I dunno.

For folks who’ve been wondering when I was going to finally release my own RPG, wait no longer! Take up arms in the name of the Plastos Federation (or one of its member nations), and hold the line against the dangers that threaten your fellow resinous peoples! Whether you’re in the trenches fighting the colossal insectoid creatures known as the Vespoids, or you’re ferreting out graft and sabotage within your own organization, there are all sorts of genres and styles one can bring to the table... and you can get your minis by the bucket!

Finally getting around to getting into a hobby that doesn't require me to GM / run a game/ or write and improv everything. Figured I'd start with Killteam because I hate capitalism, but 40k makes my wallet start to whimper.

Going to be doing a bone/bronze/copper look for these Death Guard Marines.

Slap Chop Kuo-Toa! 😃 I love Kuo-Toa so much. Will definitely be shoehorning these into my Spelljammer games as Mind Flayer slaves or refugees

Nurgle can only target those too weak to flee or fight so he can't take down the other three gods because they never stop doing either of those things.

Slaanesh can only claim dominion over those who expect a reward/climax for their work/suffering but the other 3 gods care little about the culmination of their efforts.

Khorne needs fighting or he will cease to be, and (un)fortunately none of his fellow gods will commit to conventional bloody warfare that will give him sustenance.

The more complex a scheme is, the easier it is for Tzeentch to subvert it but the other gods plans are always too simple to be manipulated.

Some lovely old school Warhammer Fantasy terrain.

I believe this was the original concept art house for the 4th edd box set.

If you wish to make this, please print off on an A4 sheet of card 👍

i need people to be equally as invested and interested in all the things I'm into

they also need to be very fruity

also, I need to know them already so I don't scuttle away under my rock in fear

#none of the people i already hang out with have the same intense yearning to buy and build an paint little guys #and then learn all the intricate rules to make them fight gay little battles #and also building narratives and characters for all our little people #though i do have a couple people im working on infecting with my sinister autism hex #war gaming #war games #miniatures #mini painting #warhammer #necromunda #kill team #bloodbowl #frostgrave #and basicallly most any other similar game under the sun #me post
