Dude, give it up. `Ploids may be standard-energy based instead of mystic, but they can already do anything that a Koopa Wizard can by level 5, assuming you're in a campaign with a decent amount of mech opponents.

Swap out Orbot for Reploid (Legends of Genesis supplement). Much lower-cost, loses the power steal, but has Adaptive Form.

>>2268038
Actually, if he dropped the Buster Gun and Power Steal traits entirely, you could get a straight-PSI caster with wicked built-in defenses.

In b4 "MEGA MAN DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY"

OP, what's the point of the Bounty Hunter levels? Just to upgrade your buster?

Start off with a VWES. You'll never cap damage but you'll be able to go for versatility, and you'll do enough damage to make a difference in boss fights.

>>2268077
Bingo.

The whole idea was to have the Buster to take care of the things that I couldn't nail with PSI, and vice-versa.

WHERE THE HELL DO I FIND THIS SHIT, DAMNIT?!

>>2268089
If you're going for a reploid caster, the buster's a secondary concern. Get yourself a chassis Nova package. With your lower armor two or three hits will top it off and then everyone wailing on you gets a hell of a punishment.

>>2268090
Lurk moar.

>>2268089
There's your problem. It's good in theory, but you really need to worry less about generalization like that if you've got a decent party backing you up. I dig the PSI-Ploid idea, though.

>>2268110

JUST GIVE ME A LINK.

>>2268107
Robot dies, everyone explodes. I lawl'ed.

>>2268089
If you're not picky about your caster type, you could always play a Reploid Black Mage. Brain In A Jar won't work, but the Magi-Tek Core will do the same thing... and it's a little cheaper than the BIAJ/PDB combo.

GIVE ME A LINK TO THIS SHIT, GOD DAMN.

>>2268177
/rs/ is your friend.

Please. The best caster/ranged figter combo is, and always will be, Black Mage/Hammer Brother. Koopa works best for race there, but if you roll well for starting gold, roll a Moogle with the Shell Suit.

>>2268207
Sure, it's the best... if you opponent is inside a 20-foot range.

Single-class it with a Numen Hunter or Scholar from the old-school Phantasy Star splats.

>>2268226
You're missing the point here. I'm trying to make a robot that does magic.

>>2268174
Win! And the fact that my base armored body counts as "racial" bypasses the Black Mage's inability to wear heavy armor. I'm SO going to splurge on disadvantages to get a Gaia suit!

>>2268226

oh god, i thought i was the only one who owned those!

i still have fond memories of my motavian berserker/ranger. Not the most optimal combination, but it was fun as hell to play. Of course, i was way too young to have heard of "character optimization," so.

>>2268207
Are you stupid?
Reploids were meant for long-ranged combat, get a good buster and some upgrades and you're ready to go, their superior mobility makes them god-like agains koopas
"I'll shoot you to death while you're walking through the stairs... oh, you are almost here, I'll jump to the next house, time to walk again, fatty"

>>2268130
Other way around, except the exploding robot doesn't die.
If you're a Megafag like I am and diehard for fluff there's all this bullshit about kinetic energy collectors, but casual gamers tend to think it's a suicide ditch maneuver.

>>2268239
Ahem... Errata? Only standard Reploid armor and a few of the better ones count as racial.

>>2268240
Gryz clones FTW! Though mine was a straight Berzerker...

>>2268239

>I'm SO going to splurge on disadvantages to get a Gaia suit!

REAL FUCKING ORIGINAL, FAGGOT. Gee, I've NEVER heard of anything splurging for Gaia armor before!

Christ, ever since they put out the BattleNet supplements underage b&s have been ruining this game by the dozen...

>>2268185
all that shows up on /rs/ for Arcadia is some song by some dude and a bunch of Skies of Arcadia hentai

I'd appretiate a little assistance in finding at least what this is.

>>2268272

Hahah, i considered it, but thought that it was maybe TOO much of a ripoff. Looking back it's not like i was any better, but you know, it was fucking 9th grade, so it's not like anybody called me on it...

>>2268283

All I could find was SMB TT.doc.

>>2268289
Wait a second - now if the OP wanted to run an evil character... a Magi-Tek core Reploid would qualify for the Disciple of Zio class with a few good rolls.

You're in luck--there's actually an armor system built tailor-made for this sort of thing. Does your group use Capsule rules?

Play a real character.

Be a Soldier you MAGET!

>>2268311
We play "If You Can Find It, You Can Play It". The only exception is that the GM has banned anything Namco-related after an incident with a Ghost Monster Assassin.

If you want a well rounded class use a Demonman. I mean people bitch and moan all the time about the Sticky Bombs being overpowered and such but he's got the ammo limits and slow reloads to make him balanced

Are you going Point-Based or Roll Based for stats? Roll based lets you get so many overpowered starts

>>2268350
You're in luck, then. Look up the helmet gem loadouts. The only one in the first Code-X is Viral carrier, but the revised has options out the ass.

I'm building a new army and Wondering what I should use to support my Vile (X3 version) with his custom Ride Armor. I'm thinking of Storm Eagle support maybe with Gravity Beetle as the main support

>>2268390

Some people will tell you Storm Owl, but they're X4th edition faggots. You've got the right idea.

>>2268362
Roll-based with GM approval.

>>2268366
Schweeet.

>>2268390
Storm Eagle is awesome. Toss in Overdrive Ostrich as your scout choice.

>>2268413
Oh god, Overdrive is way too damn good for his points.
Any unit with an EAC will do okay against him, but if they have slow move or jump, he'll mow them down.
And don't get me started on his S. Slicer charge. Guaranteed kill on anything without a Dodge save.

>>2268394
But what else should I use for grunts?

I'm thinking of a group of Gun Volts to provide missile spam and the shockwave attacks and maybe a Mole Borer since its got a ridiculous amount of armor

since everyone but me and that angry guy seem to know what's what, would someone please kindly provide me with the name of this system? my Google-fu is too weak to find anything with what's already in the thread

>>2268413
If all the capcom supplements are avaible then strider hiryu is superior, since he's a cyborg he can get most of the mechanical boosts, and teleport is a bitch

>>2268428
Sounds like a good idea.

So I got into ToA and now I'm reading the books...

Does anyone agree that the Slug Soldier prestige class is a LITTLE overpowered?! I mean, sure 1 hp aint gonna be much but GOD DAMN at its options..

>>2268413
I shoulda thought of that!

>>2268443
I've got to get one of them but I am trying to get a good pure Maverick Army

>>2268428

Metools, dude. Metools.

They may be old-fashioned, but I damn anyone who thinks they can find a more efficient use of points.

>>2268474
I'd rather use a Contra Solider since you don't have to worry about the ammo rules and they get a better base gun.

>>2268310

yeeeeah, but it might be some work converting (or at least balancing) some of the class abilities to the current edition. Corrosion was FUCKING overpowered even back when the Algol supplements first came out, and i don't see Dark Wave flying with any sane DM these days.

>>2268488
Too true! The Met Helmet defensive bonus alone is worth its weight in gold.

>>2268488
I assumed Metools as being a given.
I'm thinking of using the basic Met C-15 instead of the more expensive Met Soldier/Metool T

>>2268493
Didn't the DoZ require a roll on the Insanities chart every two or three levels?

>>2268491
Contra Soldiers suck arse. If you don't invest in The Code, they start out at three hits away from death.

/rs/ is an ugly mess, and google won't come up with shit no matter what I try, just link to it, or give me some valid search terms for fuck's sake.

>>2268517

And one when you start into the class, yeah. To be totally honest, it's just not a PC class at all. Not to say that an ambitious (or gullible) DM might not be up to letting a player use it or a modified version, but...

>>2268517
Yea but Spread Gun is godly!

Have you guys seen the "Licensed Games" supplement? I started using the Foot Soldiers out of it for cannon fodder, and my players love it.

I've begun to consider building an Old School Arcade Army.

I'm probably going to go with a few Defenders and a Robotron Soldier. I'm also thinking of using a Nuclear Bomber or two from Missile Command for the raw power of their Nukes (if they actually don't get SHOT DOWN!)

>>2268545
Only if you spam it, once your numbers are low they no longer do shit

>>2268564
Needs a Galaga or twin Galaga.

Also where's the Millipedes?

LINK YOU FUCKERS, GOD DAMN. >:C

>>2268572
If you're using the Contra 4th ED rules you can have a second gun to switch to, I'd probably keep a Laser in that slot.

rolled 78 = 78

>>2268585

Dude, fuck that. The flamethrower CURVES and bypasses cover saves! That's incredibly handy against hardhats and digger-moles.

>>2268594
I like the Laser for the piercing ability and high damage.

Homing works better than Flamethrower for bypassing cover.

>>2268553
I've been using the Technos one for that. A bunch of thugs and their weapons all statted out.

>>2268594
But the laser pierces walls, and has long range, if you use spread/fire combo any sniper will rape you

>>2268615
Oh god... don't remind me...

POST A LINK OR SOME SHIT, GOD DAMN.

Hey guys, is there a way to bypass the ninja rule?
I want to build a ninja army, but the most I use the weaker they become, Strider and Hayabusa are two godly motherfuckers alone, but as long as they get close to each other they get penalties, the ninja turtles (from the Konami arcade supplement) already have their own anti-rule, but it works only with them, isn't there a way to have something similar at greater scale?

>>2268564
Consider adding a few Pookas. The ability to pass through terrain and walls is awesome, even if the attack value is crap.

>>2268645
Hell no! I mean that'd be a major game breaker.

Also I've done some digging and if you're going to use a Pokemon Trainer Army ALWAYS have Sabrina in the army for her ability to command at a distance not to mention teleport and those psycher abilities she got. Also she tends to be surprisingly durable at times

>>2268635
Since I'm a nice Anon, I'll tell you.

It's a secret /tg/ homebrew, but that's all I can say, really. Now lurk the fuck more.

Kirby can become one OP motherfucker if he gets in melee range of a high-point enemy.

>>2268671
Good point. Also is getting the Pterodactyl worth it? I mean its got a rather limited attack but its defense rules make it a nightmare to kill... although its cost sucks.

Also should I pay the points for Missile Attack LV10 so I can get a good number of MIRVs and Smart Bombs? Smart Bombs got the nice evade ability and with the spamming of regular ones they should get in nicely

>>2268686
So fucking broken at times.

>>2268673
Red > Sabrina
Get a critical on your choosing roll and you'll see your oponent being assraped by a broken mewtwo, Tanks? psyquic is your doom, aerial attacks? eat some ice beam, someone managed to hurt mewtwo? don't worry, I'll just recover and I'll be ready for action again

>>2268673

Sabrina can command at a distance, but do you even see the abilities PKMN Trainer Red/Green has? Blue is fairly lethal as well.

>>2268686
Take Kirby, Devour Pooka.
Phase into stone.
Pop out next to high-powered enemy, eject Pooka, swallow enemy, rain havoc.

>>2268703

If Mewtwo dies, you are pretty much fucked. That thing costs an insane amount of points. Insane stats, movement, AND movepool list. But the point cost is also EXTREME as well

Why do Tales of Arcadia threads always devolve into ToA: Battlescreen army discussions?

Now i really hate you, /tg/
[spoiler]I wish this could be real...[/spoiler]

>>2268721
Mewtwo can solo a Boss-class unit, not many units can do that.

Besides, Red's Ultimate Trainer's ability reduces Mewtwo's cost by 1/4, and if spend a trait on "emergency call" you can get "choosen" as your next trait and reduce mewtwo's cost by another 1/4, who wouldn't want a mewtwo with 50% discount?

>>2268742
Newfag is new.
Battlescreen is just the ToA mass battle rules, not a separate game.

>>2268703
Red got a nerfed a lot in the FR/LG. I mean Mewtwo's not as broken now. Sabrina's got that annoying ability to annoy with teleport spam.

>>2268707
Yea they got nice abilities but they tend to have high point costs.
Sabina gets that point discount to Non-Legendary Psychic types for being Psychic Type Specialist Gym Leader.

>>2268742
because this is /40k/

Rerailing a bit, I'm trying to make a Games Hunter reploid. You get Virus resist as part of the package, so I'm not worrying about anything fancier than a Cain, maybe a Doppler level antivirus.
Should I specialize in a weapon? I've seen obscene handfuls of dice thrown for saber damage.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GIVE US THE LINK!!

>>2268745
Too bad you have to tend to deal with Mewtwo being still a sniper magnet. Also they made his defense weaker so the Suicide Bomber Electrodes can demolish him one shot

Did you guys here about the game maker fan game for this?

>>2268759
Sabers are for faggots. Use Missile Spam.

>>2268756
ToAB is not 40k, dammit... Old ToAB is compatible with new ToAB and doesn't force you to use overpriced minis when cardboard chits or 50-cent figurines will do.

>>2268677
ITT: LIES

>>2268773
About bloody time someone decided to port it to computers. Handling all the advanced rules makes my head spin.
So, does he have a website?

This thread is full of lies and trolling.

>>2268773
What is this, and can I make my own tactics games with it?

Anyone ever build a good Hyrule army without The Hero of Time?

>>2268795
This thread is troll-free, thank you very much.

>>2268801
My friends call it "the hero of time and sidekicks army", does that answer your question?

>>2268798
The guy just said that it was made with Game Maker. Google it, I think it's a free download.

>>2268767

The exact damn reason why I put Reflect on my Mewtwo whenever I use him. Barrier gives more defense, but Reflect is A LOT harder to get rid of and halves all physical damage.

OP - Wouldn't you be able to work a lot better via PSI-Reploid rather than Reploid-PSI. It seems a small difference but bear with me. The Bio-M rules would work perfectly for Psi-Reploid, due to the fact that Psychospeech inherant automatically qualifies you for the Bio-M Reploid.

>>2268812
Well, Game Maker could be:
1) The program "GameMaker"
OR
2) A program that makes games.
Lack of proper capitalization made me think it was the latter and not the former.

He also didn't give an actual name for that specific game. Then again, I started reading from that post, so maybe someone did.

>>2268813
Too bad he's worthless against Dark Types.

R-Type Armies tend to keep a few Shooting Stars and their Photon-Belt Wave Cannon for sniping. Although their its got amazing range but its beam is stopped by first enemy in the way but its a great sniper

>>2268795
Prove it by posting a link to download this shit.

>>2268775
I'd use a Ray Killer if I wanted to do that.

>>2268854

I am probably the only R-Typer who uses Hakusans. I swear to god i'm not insane! I know they're a CC unit who's just as fragile as, oh, EVERYTHING ELSE in the R-Type list, but their damage is fucking insane, and i've had a lot of success with them just because EVERYBODY either rushes into charge range against R-types (or try to out-snipe them, but... good luck).

>>2268819
Bio-M is complete bullshit! Its a case of Lets give Anyone the firepower of a high end Reploid at a low cost. They should ban that shit

>>2268703
>>2268707
Redmind.

>>2268745
>Besides, Red's Ultimate Trainer's ability reduces Mewtwo's cost by 1/4, and if spend a trait on "emergency call" you can get "choosen" as your next trait and reduce mewtwo's cost by another 1/4, who wouldn't want a mewtwo with 50% discount?

The point reductions don't stat that way. Two 1/4ths add up to 3/8ths. Still, that's a huge amount.

Still, PKMN Trainer Red has shit mobility and defense. Sure you can give him the bicycle pack to help out, but that wastes plenty of points that could be better spent beefing up your Mewtwo.

LOL I PLAY DBZ FACTION I HAS GOKU USE SPIRIT BOMB 2 WIN MAH GAEMS

>>2268878
LOL good luck keeping your guy alive for the 20 turns it takes to charge that up.

>>2268870
Kenrouken's the best one of them since the Hyper Tesla Pile Bunker WC is insanely powerful. But you gotta keep your Force Pod attached.

Hell I use the POW Armor and Cyber Nova! I mean A lot of people think the POW Armor is a cannon fodder but a fully upgrade Needle Force can spam so many shots once launched.

>>2268892

... well, my love for the pile bunker line is tempered by the fact that they DO die really fucking fast. I kinda wanted to save points where i could.

>>2268882
His stats are over 9000 though. None of your little faggots can even touch him. And even if you do manage to scratch one of my guys, then I can bring in the REAL cheese, my Touhou reserves.

>>2268878
>>2268882

And the fact that the attack is only as powerful as the amount of live points on your team.

What about the FF supplement? Is a Moogle army worth it? Maybe I should stay with my tested and working Hyrule army...

Man, the R-Types used to RAPE back in 3rd edition. I was showing a newbie the stats on the old R-9Ø, his eyes about jumped out of his sockets.

Good thing I equipped the Through Laser.

>>2268901
Yea... they tend to only get one shot off before getting shot down so make it count!

I've found that the Daedalus line's Plasma Discharge is surprising effective when you do a Speed Up Turn to run away.

The Peacemaker line is nice with the Lock-on Wave Cannon although the damage it does is rather shitty for a WC

>>2268912
Yeah, like there's any chance that any unit in your oponent's army has more live points than all of your army together, the only way to survive the spirit bomb is if you prevent it from happening, nobody can survive it

>>2268919
Yea too bad the Final Edition made the R-9Ø into 2 ships, although it balanced it out. R-9Ø got the Shadow Force and Hyper Wave Cannon (AND got rid of that damn Cooldown Penalty) and the R-9Ø2 Got the Giga Wave Cannon and the Cyclone Force.

Kinda wish they swapped the Wave Cannons though.

>>2268935
Or to kill off nearly everything in his army.

>>2268946
All 5 units of it... I mean they only got 2 or 3 good units other than Twinkie boy

>>2268908
>His stats are over 9000 though.

Yeah, but his animation budget ain't.

OH SNAP

>>2268945

you know, while we're talking about it... does ANYONE use the R-9B series (Strider, etc.)? I mean, i'm an admitted pile bunker user and those seem completely worthless.

>>2268811
Yea its like trying to make a good Mushroom Kingdom Army without one of the Plumbers.

>>2268935
>Yeah, like there's any chance that any unit in your oponent's army has more live points than all of your army together, the only way to survive the spirit bomb is if you prevent it from happening, nobody can survive it

Had a friend win survive a Spirit Bomb with his Wily forces once. It took out everything but his metools.

Thanks to SB's cool down, he even came back to win it. Other dude was pissed.

>>2268968
inb4 mario&luigi vs wario&waluigi shitstorm

>>2268964
Yea they're pretty worthless but if you field a Ragnarok II they can be worth the points if you Spam the Barrier Wave Cannon to protect the Ragnarok II while it charged the Giga Wave Cannon.

Other than that its worthless.

The R-9AD series (Escort Time and such) are just as worthless although the Decoy Wave Cannon is okay for distraction but not worth the cost

rolled 87 = 87

>>2268935

I've found that sending in Metroid's in a standard Swarm pattern works wonderfully. He usually doesn't have enough life units left over afterwards to pull that shit off.

Backed my Mother Brain's Control power, they can get there by turn 2. Which leaves me with, oh, 18 more turns to RAEP the rest of his pitiful force.

>>2268979
Death by Metool!

Gotta say that's a total OWNED scenario.

>>2268997
Yea Metroids can be nasty. Too bad most people use the cheaper versions to save points

Anyone use the Neo-Arcadia army? I mean I've seen a few Zero/Resistance armies but not many NA forces.

rolled 74 = 74

>>2269009

Fuck that. The 10pt reduction isn't worth it, to me.

Quality over quantity, my friend. Except Ridley. His basic form is overpriced, and his mecha variant isn't much better. He's leaps and bounds above Kraid, but thats not really saying all that much...

>>2269025
Resistance is pretty much the same shit as Hyrule but instead of being focused on melee they're more ranged setup

I hate you /tg/. I hate you.
You make me wish this shit was real.

>>2269038
Congratulations, you dumb stupid faggot, thats the entire point of this.


We still wouldn't play it though.

>>2269038
So write it.

>>2269041
For you fucks to tear it into pieces and fill it with shitstorms? God, no.

>>2269040
Just like any other game, we would waste so much time talking about it that we wouldn't even play it at all

also, thanks for breaking the magic, assholes

>>2269030
1st ED Kraid was okay too bad they retconed that to him being the same as 3rd ED Kraid when they did the remastered version.

If you want a low cost Ridley try using the X-Parasite version of Ridley. Sure he's a lot weaker but he's cheaper.

>>2269038
>>2269040
>>2269050
fucking trolls... don't feed em

>>2268979
Man I wish I could have seen that.

By the way, Anyone know what other unit would be a good complement for a Boomerang Kuwanger (Yeah I got the MMX:MH edition, it just freaking owns) and Magna Centipede? I'm making a Maverick army focused on stealth and deadly ninja strikes.

>>2269054
It's too late.
We alredy know that this is thread is a hueg fake.

>>2269059
Sting Chameleon tends to be a useful sneaker

FUCK! This would be the best game ever, IF IT WERE REAL!

I'm gonna give the thread a 5/10.

If it had been left brief and simple, it could have been some seriously epic trollage, but the consistency of what was being posted was your downfall. After a while, you could see that the typing styles had only three or four variations, and almost every post had the same tone. There was no trolling, no off-topic discussions, no morons asking for help on very easy subjects.

Eventually, it just became a samefag or a small group of samefags circle-jerking while they made the most obscure references they could think of. Good job on the Phantasy Star shout-outs. The Corrosion one gave me a chuckle.

So yeah, 5/10.

rolled 31 = 31

>>2269051

I'm not a fan of the X-parasites period. SA-X is stupidly powerful, sure, but thats like...the ONLY good unit out of that expansion.

Kraid's only ever been good due to his insanely high life points and Rock Fall power. Beyond that, he's a fat sitting duck.

>>2269061
Wait... You think we're doing this just to deceive you? We're doing this because is fun, the fact that retards like you though this was real was just a happy incident that made it even funnier

>>2269069
Yea but you do get a chance to reduce the cost at times to cut corners with the X Parasite armies

>>2269059
You want to limit your army to the X edition or are you willing to add units from the Zero edition? Because phantom has some awesome stalking abilities, and Zero himself is quite ninja-ish

>>2269076
Using something like say, HERO system and giving standards to characters (For example, 250 points for PCs, "Hero" and "Boss" characters, 100 point for grunts, etc) we could make it happen. Even put together a PDF of basic rules (strip some of the fat off of HERO), equipment, characters etc.

>>2269068

Breaking kayfabe here... this is a joke that's been continuing on and off for around a month. Nobody is trolling, i don't know why we're getting a 10-point "troll ranking."

>>2269085
Problem with them is that you've gotta constantly roll so they won't kill the Mavericks because of their Maverick Hunter conditions

rolled 47 = 47

>>2269081

True, but again I prefer Quality over Quantity.

I know it screws me over in the long run, but hey, I got some pride. And its more flavorful.

One of these days I'll make an all X-parasite army, just for kicks. NIGHTMARE is an excellent disruption unit, after all; his Gravity Swell can cause so much havoc its insane.

>>2269085
I want a full X edition army, though I admit I really had a hard time saying no to Phantom.

>>2269059
I've seen some good ninja Shadow Man builds, but I don't think it's still tourney legal to use Wily units with Mavericks...

Either way, >>2269065 is right on with Chameleon. His movement isn't all that good, but he has excellent defense along with being nearly invisible.

You better keep Kuwanger alive, though, because if he dies Chameleon gets some nasty penalties.

nobody would play this. Its even more pathetic than space elves vs space demons vs space skeletons.

>>2269095
Phantom is not a maverick hunter
but you're right with Zero

>>2269091
Its one Newfag that's lost and confused.

The same one who was constantly wanting Downloads and links

>>2269090
Yes we certainly could make it happen.I suggest that we do.

I'll have some free time in the next weeks, guess I'll give it a try at the rpg version, just as a quick guide, what do you guys want as races/templates/whatever they're called?

so far we have (races):
reploid
human (hume?)
koopa

classes:
hunter
soldier
pk trainer
wizard
plumber
maverick
ninja

bring on the requests/suggestions, I believe redundand classes/races should be fuzed (as in, the ninja turtles counts as koopas)

Not quite on Slicer- Invulnerable saves (Star's Blessing, Metool Hull Down, etc.) will still work, though it ignores armor.

The Magitek core is aces if your GM allows it, though.

You go with Hylian Archer/Wizzrobes for the grunts + a Link with ranged/magic, basic sword and just f-up the terrain while you spam those cover-ignoring shots. It's crap vs. someone who decides to go with Mewtwo (or a Groudon) all stacked up, so give your Link Ice Rod or Ether Medallion so you can at least keep immobilizing Mewtwo at range.

Better yet, buck the trend and go with Zelda in the leadership slot. She's cheaper base cost, everything she does goes fine with a ranged Hylian army, and she can equip just about any item that'd be useful to same. If it wasn't for the bonus points you get if you "capture" her in close combat, more people would use her in bread-and-butter Hylians too.

By the way, who made that codex with the Koopas, the Super Mario Brothers 40k one? All it said in the document was SkullKrusher Industries.

1) 3rd party supplement, non-tournament-approved.

2) Spirit Bomb isn't RAW. Errata, 4 months back, Invulnerables still apply. This isn't anime, there's a little thing called "game balance".

3) If Spirit Bomb destroys all objectives on the field, it's an immediate loss for you. SB doesn't discriminate since it's a blast effect, so it wipes whatever you've got on the field, too. 5d6 inch fucking scatter and that 60 inch radius blast template means you're as likely to nuke your own forces as whatever the hell you aim SB at.

So please, use your "I take all game and kill random, lol" one-shot superexpensive nuke and toss it in with a unit who has to basically be out of combat and leave you with a pack of crappy weaklings to do all the work while you sit there looking constipated. It's the Apocalypse: Anime Edition codex. :P

>>2269246
Well, from the Megavers you have:

Droids: Generic basic robots with standard AI, they come in different size and forms to perform multiple task that don't require a more advanced Reploid AI to execute. (Example: Metool)

Generic Reploids: Generic Humanoid bots based on X Design, can perform all kind jobs at an average lvl and have no weakness other than their low stats. (Example: Alia, Iris)

Reploid Army Soldier: They are military Reploids, they are master of war and strategy but have lost the ability to perform most basic non military jobs in order to expand on their military traits, higher stats and more powerful frames and upgrades. (Example: Dynamo, Vile)

Animaloid: This are the animal based Reploids, they are based on the original Dr. Cain designs and usually are master of one job or element, are designed for very specific task and do to their outstanding mastery over they profession, are bonded to a weakness to compensate. (Example: Storm Eagle, Flame Stag)

Maverick (Virus): The maverick virus infect the host granted them enanched powers and abilities at the progressive cost of their sanity, the become violent and irrational till the point their are nothing more than a mindless machine of destruction. (Example: Maverick Zero)

Maverick (ideology): When a Reploid rise against the human race or the Reploid community under their own free will do to conflict between their point of view, they may be labeled as mavericks regardless of infection. This social penalty rather than a virus infection. (Example: Lumine, Redips)

PD: I apology for my not so good English.

Two words for you: Duff McWhalen.

I'm personally convinced this is, like many of the weird /tg/ RPGs, an elaborate joke.

>>2270146

I used to think that as well, but seriously, what fucking devious mind would create such an elaborate ruse that would reach so few fucking people? It leaves my mind in a constant state of durp.

Anyone hear when the Fire Emblem supplement will come out?

>>2270163
Anonymous would.

>>2270171

I saw the previews. Fucking Paladins are pure cheese, and don't get me started on hammer-wielding Generals. I pity the people fielding Hyrule and Mushroom all-melee armies, those are gonna suck ass now.

>>2270146
>>2270163
All the weird /tg/ RPGs starts as an elaborate joke, then someone try to make this a real game, and then, the project gets flooded by sages, and it's abandoned. Anybody here remembers Rodentia, Artifice, Necrololis or Trigger Discipline? Nether do I.

Come on people, I want to see this game happen! Let's get shit done, /tg/. Let's write this.

>>2270146
This is seriously fucking obvious.

>>2270193
Like we care.

>>2270124

>Duff McWhalen

>>2270193

PROTIP: I got 2 online and 1 offline games of Trigger Discipline going right now.

Just because there's no thread about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

You know what army is rapetastic?

Long Range Hyrule.

Get this, Link with Epona, the Hero's Bow, Staff of Seasons, and Light Arrows as an optional. Get a bunch of Hyrule Knight Templar squads with Wizzrobes and you're gold. The Knight Templars are...fuck, the only thing that comes to mind is LOLWUT. Their Strength isn't really high, but the niggers have 5+ Armor, 3+ Invul and wounds OUT THE ASSHOLE.

Turn 1: Rod of Seasons into Winter.
Turn 2: RAPERAPERAPERAPE

>>2270215

See, powergamers like this is why I bring out my Grit/Olaf Blue Moon army. You turn the weather into winter? Lol enjoy snowstorms gimping your units and then I switch to Grit for missile raep.

>>2270235
It's not powergaming when I'm being a clever bastard. Powergaming is having a Mewtwo, sticking a Berserk Tag on Red, suiciding him, and then watching the assraping unfold. Literally and metaphorically, almost nothing can actually beat down a Berserked Mewtwo.

Daily Dose

>>2270215

Ahaha that gunline is going to get fucking raped when the Advanced Strategy expansion is released stateside. I'll just be fielding my planned out army of Driscoll with some Sakata units to fill out the special slots and Missiler squads for the grunts. Have fun with all my units move-and-firing heavy indirect weaponsand still having enough melee power to rip your guys apart in CC.

Oh, and it can be combined with any thematically similar list as Allies, so I can just take Vic Vipers and R-Type selections for air support.

I reckon that could even take on your most broken Advance Wars list, too, just because move-and-fire artillery is so good. Hell, how's this for a plan?

Commander choices of Grit and Driscoll, sure you don't get any synergy but you do get bonus artillery range and the WBB roll that the Nirvana Project gives all mechanised units. Elites taken up with some Sakata units, who have a gob of armour to absorb all your incoming fire. They'll be a meatshield for the real force - Rockets and Missilers working together to rape everything before it leaves your deployment zone. Because I'm fielding Driscoll I get to equip all missilers with at least a Tier 3 missile weapon, and not only do all my hulls get WBB they also get +1 armour all facings due to Tier 3.

Fill in with a flying circus of the Vic Viper plus a whole bunch of Bombers and Fighters.

That is how to break the game. Alternatively, you can go for the asshole indestructible army of Driscoll/Kanbei plus Hell's Wall and an army of pilots in Frost 2s. AV14 all round, WBB and Living Metal, plus the counterattack bonus and attack bonus.

>>2270537
I hate you.

You don't normally get people WORKING TOGETHER to help someone on /tg/ so this is obviously a joke.

An awesome joke.

... A REALLY AWESOME JOKE.

REQUESTING TALES OF ARCADIA NAO. WE CAN DO THIS, /tg/ YOU GUYS ARE THE AWESOMEST BOARD ON 4CHAN

If you guys keep this up much longer someone will actually make one of these goddamn books somehow. Do you really want that?

>>2270564
YES

Less WH40k bullshit, more pen and paper RPG.

I fully support tg putting this shit together. Stop the lies, stop the jokes, start the TALES OF ARCADIA!!!

>>2270577
you want it? then fucking make PnP threads dumbass. also, endorsement of the idea.

>>2270215

Chill Penguin and Blizzard Buffalo will fucking rape you.

>>2270646
Chill Penguin is a joke and Freeze Buffalo only a step up.

>>2270655

Check the bonuses they get in ice stages. Seriously, the elemental reploids were almost made to counter the Rod of Seasons.

>>2270215

Back on one of the original threads, that's pretty much what I mentioned.

Also, Staff of Seasons + Ice = anti-air rape if the units have low enough movement. Drop a unit below minimum movement and you auto-damage the flyers- it's the long-range solution to folks spamming cheap air units that can't move quickly enough to deal with it.

Most armies have a decent solution for you- AW's artillery rounds outrange the staff, Elemental Reploids, Vipers have enough speed just to be pissed off by the slowdown, and light infantry isn't bothered at all (of course, most Wily/Light stuff counts as heavy unless it's hover/flight capable, but the staff hoses that anyway). So if you're going to terrain mod as a solution, you need to get in, make sure the air stuff is dead ASAP, and get back to your strategy.

>>2270655

Eh, they're specialty units and the slow/immobilize effects are useful to pin a Boss or Sub-Boss. And as noted, not only immune to ice terrain, but become a hair above-average in it for the point cost.

And yeah, I know we've got people crossing ToA RPG and ToA Full System Battle, but when you've only got a few threads in the sea of TG40K or D&D4E RAAAAAGE threads, you make do.
