Excuse me, but it appears i have no idea what you are all conversing about yet i find your topic highly entertaining and wish to know more.
Would you kindly point me in the right direction?

TL;DR do want w/e this is, halp, plz?

@OP: That's why you take the Fear the Psyker trait, like the Black Templars. Means I don't need to fund them psychic slobs that didn't do that much for me anyhow.

also my google-fu is weak and has supplied me nothing.

Just started a campaign - "Your sensors pick up a crafworld nearby". Well lets try to bust it! A little savescumming and I have a 3 company of veterans. Whoa, everything went better than I expected!
Suddenly eldars on my homeworld, reserves gone, gear gone, income gone. Have to fly around unable to do shit.
Allied with some AI controlled chapter, trying to leech on their victories. AI is passive idiot, skipping his turns and being Ultramarines vassal. Fuck this game.

Yes, it also sucks ass to drag your army all over Cadia, trying to reinforce the tactically incompetent asshole, only to be greeted by a "LOLNOPE, THIS ARMY HAS BEEN DEFEATED" just as you get there.

It's pretty much impossible to actually replace the guy, as he's been sucking dicks on the chaos gods since Day 1.

Just when I had the perfect base built, there was a damn warp storm. Maybe I could go to a fleet based chapter, but getting recruiting worlds is a pain.

Well I figured I kept getting fucked over by the Ultramarines, so I'd go a round as them.

I fucking love this game. I spent any and ALL gubbins on flash gitz. Every other warboss is giving me shit, taking all my best boyz, but I fucking keep at it.

Bam. Now I've got flash gitz just massacre the guard - they just add qualities to the weapons, so you can end up with ARTILLERY BURNAS.

Suddenly, Looted Baneblades, Looted Baneblades everywhere. Now all the other warbosses want into my waaaagh cause I'm the shootiest theres ever been.

So, you let them in, and fucking take out puny humies that get in your way? NOPE. I let them in...got fucking murdered by them next battle.

You can do it with ImpFists too, one of my event obtained captains even has a perk for doing it.

Guys, have you ever got any of marines back from service in Deathwatch?
Mine always end up KIA, usually very early.

You've obviously never played all the way through. The game just ends after you hold all of the worlds.

Would have had more Chaos forces but your manpower doesn't grow at all.from conquered planets

I've finished the game.

I just think the victory conditions in this case were a bit silly.

>>16476457
>>16476469
See, this game really does need to lrn2lore.

hey, is there any way to play with the grey knights?? it is funny toplay with marines but i think that their missions would be muchmore harder and funnier

>>16476663
What's silly about it? The only thing left in the galaxy was my forces, even if it was only one Berserker. He probably would have ascended to mortal Godhood, kind of like a Chaos-style God Emperor. Then he could remake the Galaxy as he saw fit with the powers of Chaos.

Then again, theres a whole universe to explore....

>>16476667
That's correct.

The ultras have 1200 men.

The Codex is a guideline. A thousand men... ROUGHLY.

>>16476474
So time to go to that crusade I was supposed to be on?
>NOPE.JPG
Horatio has other ideas. He'd fought the warboss in the fight, and killed him, but then got his face kicked in by a nob. The battle was over and he survived because he was stupidly tough, but ended up with a vandetta.
> Horatio demands the chapter goes after Skabrot Wazzagit or he'll chase him down solo.
I figure it'll be quick, and the chapter's might will mean that a full frontal charge will work, as opposed to Horatio challenging him to single combat in the middle of the ork camp or something. Plus, while we're finding the fucker, he can teach his protogee some of his cool tricks.
>FUCK THAT! Horatio decides he knows better.
> Horatio passes on the To The Death trait.
Time for me to groom another candidate. Oh, wait, not now. Found the orks.
The nob had managed to become the new warboss. Their forces seem smaller then mine, I can take them.
>Horatio recomends a full frontal charge
Sure, you got it buddy.
>Horatio's honour demands that he lead the Space of the Emperor this day!
Sure thing, you are the chapter master.
>Horatio Marcus has been cut off from his forces in the battle.
Ok, choose the one where he fights his way to the drop-pod elements.
>Horatio disaproves of this cowardice. Horatio has decided to charge the enemy heroicly.
Fuck.
>Today Horatio has killed his hated foe Skabrot Wazzagit. Reclaims his bike, which turns out to be looted from some space marines.
More loot and more prestige, and onwards to the Tau. I might even get to advise whoemever's leading this crusade with all this prestige.

I am almost certain it's just made up stuff. can't find anything like it through google fu, and non of the war heads will post an actual link, so I'm guessing it's like my fingerbox collection.
I do like reading the stories tho.

Guys, my starting Warboss Fungface was finally killed in battle and I'm needing to choose an heir to his position.
I have Stormboy Nob Da Fureh with Relic Flamer, Loves Ta' Fight and Bad Temper traits and low Karizma but his combat stats are great.
Big Mek Stuttmun, I sorta want him so I can actually choose research but his stats are horrible and he has Forgetful and Loud Git traits and I don't really want to groom the next heir after him to have those.

The last one is this Kommando I picked up during a mission but I think the boyz will revolt as soon as I put him as Warboss and he's Snakebite but all his traits. He's got Ded Cunnin', Anuvva Go, and if I can get him out of Snakebite I can activate his Greedy trait.

Which one, /tg/?

>>16476701
End up forgetting about the crusade, and keep getting sidetracked. Horatio refuses to teach anything but the most retarded tactical doctrine. Chapter keeps getting blasted to bits, but recruitment is crazy good. Horatio refuses to die. Eventually end up turning up to that crusade, it's all but over, we've kicked serious ass. The guy in charge is some tactical genius type, got his masterstoke planned. Didn't know the AI could do that (turns out they can't, but it being set up like this is a prescripted event). All that prestige suddenly puts Horatio in charge. Charge being the operative word in this case.
>Horatio follows the plan
Wut? No stupid charge? Why?
>Plan calls for leader to suicide charge as bait.
>Leader picked because no-one volunteered when plan was made.
>The other chapter master had no points in bravery or any combat skills. Only in charge because he got lucky, and his tactical skills were magical good.
Clearly this was all part of his plan.
In the charge, Horatio somehow survives.
>Betrayal! Krom Calgar (the tactical genius) has betrayed you.
Bastard kills Horatio with poison.
I'm *this* close to savescumming, go to finish the chain of events then reload.
His latest protogee he's been grooming steps up, singlehandedly fights his way through Krom's guard of elite vets, and hammers the bastard's face in. Then takes the name of the old chapter master. Takes all of the other chapter's stuff for our own. Takes so much prestige, since he's the highest ranked commander left so he gets the prestige for the crusade. . .

I've set up trade negotiations with forge worlds and on one occasion I actually had a forge world become my vassal by saving it from a tyranid fleet

>>16476907
Sure. You're coding it, right?

What a lovely thread.

>>16476920
Was only a few years into my campaign and I focused quite a bit on getting war machines made so I ended up with more equipment then men to use it.
Most of my force was just Guardsmen as well only had the starting amount of Space marines.

>>16476924
Probably. I got no idea though. ..

>>16476932
I actually am just running vanilla but yeah I lucked out big with location. Wish I was able to hold it.

Okay guys, I'm not sure what to do. I want to help push back the Black Crusade, but I can't let these Alpha Legion fuckers just wreak havoc through the Imperium all willy-nilly. However, I don't want to split my chapter too much or both forces will be weak and I don't want to pull all my forces away and be seen as a coward. What do.

>>16476926

I want to believe that the termie did that on purpose. being cut off and faced a major ork incursion he sacrificed himself to explode the fuck out of the space hulk.

but they made pressure, just in space and not scary

>>16477018

>I helped him

Emperor. Damn. It.

I'd like to try this where can i find this?

>>16477021
In space, not scary, in 2d, multiplayer and before the idea of Pressure was invented.

>>16477025
Gee, the fact you get told you never see his face, the flesh on his hands looks inhuman, he wears a big fucking dark cloak and hood and mumbles to himself constantly wasn't a clue? Your Chaplain must have low Faith, Intelligence and Insight to not have cottoned on - or he's a double agent. Get him purity checked.

And ask the Librarian next time. Fallen Inquisitor Event is a psyker 90% of the time and the Librarian can do a divination to test his purity.

>>16477050
High-skill heretics don't show such obvious signs of mutation. He might have been pretty far along though if a high-skill heretical inquisitor came knocking, those dont normally come around until after the 100 turn mark

>>16477038
Pressure would not work as a single player game, the interactions with NPCs would be too...NPC like

>>16477068
I...I've been fooled!

>Picturing it like KoDP as was just mentioned
>Like with a Clan Ring advising your Chapter Master
>Chapter Circle or whatever
>So Librarian, Chaplain, different Captains...
>Remember Space Wolves have that guy Lukas the Trickster

>>16477085

I think that would make it better in this case.

i'd like to,
but i wouldnt finish it. ever.
Thats due to me absolutely hating to do menus/graphical stuff.
The idea of this game is pretty neat though.

>>16477068
A total conversion of EU3 or one of the other paradox games would work too, I think. Replace provinces with planets, religions with Loyalist/heretical slider...

Should be easier than making a new game too.

>>16477127
we can help. it could be made as a community effort. you know like

>we come up with the awesome ideas and you do all the work.

man, how often have i heard that. but srsly it would be awesome if the game included even half of what's described in this thread.

>>16477160

Call for the Ultramarines for help

>>16477164
This. Planetary upgrades, recruitment of troops, advisors, national decisions, random events... this is our game

I've always thought a 40k galaxy spanning grand strategy game could be cool.
Space Marines and Inquisitors etc would be out your control and act on their own and you can request for help that might or might not come.
Rebellion, Heresy, Ork Uprisings, Warp Storms, the list of potential "random" events is pretty fucking long.

Grand Strategy Mind

Some of the procedural generated alien empires are really fucking weird by the way. Got one that was essentially crab people, who were around the level of the Tau, but with an emphasis on tanks.

Some of their tanks were the size of a ship.

I KNEW I had to ally with them as soon as I met them, but alas, the Inquisition never approves of my forward thinking...

>also my benevolence towards them was in large part due to 'CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE TASTE LIKE CRAB TALK LIKE PEOPLE' stuck in my head

I'd play the shit out of SPEHS MAHREEN FORTRESS

>>16477206
...and we have a name!

>>16477164
Religions worshipping:
God Emperor of mankind
the 4 chaos gods
Gork and Mork
Whatever things necrons/eldar/other worship.

Then, you have sliders, like
Codex I------o----------------I Non-codex
Every time you slide over to codex it limits your army size and other shit, but you gain... idk what.
If you go non codex, you get higher limits, but there are possible random events: The inquisition examines your chapter...

This would be the greatest game ever.

rolled 1860 = 1860

Guys.

I randomly spawned my chapter next to the Ultramarines.

Should I just bite the bullet and reroll?

...

>>16477282
jokes aside

they would vary from recruiting, exploring, saving silly inquisitors and other things

>>16477282
I think I have it worked down to four major menus, all of which would need to contain a number of options and sub-actions:
>COMBAT
Covers fighting commands. Attacking, retreating, etc.
>DIPLOMACY
Negotiations, asking for assistance, reporting heresy, declaring war, and all the other talky stuff.
>TECHNOLOGY
Putting them AdMech to work.
>EXPLORE
Searching for relics, enemy camps, exploring space (or the Warp if you're a masochist), and generally doing the stuff that lets you know what's around you.

>>16477322
go on gathering ideas, those might be useful.

>>16477322

Playing some undivided, just got my first Kharn event. Was sieging an imperial hive, and had a squad of Alpha Legion assigned to find a way to sneak into the hive. They find a way through the sewers, that leads them to the opposite side of the hive from my warhost. Perfect opportunity. I tell the Alphas to go do what they do best, and send a squad of berserkers to serve as a distraction. Can't send new orders to Alphas once they're infiltrated, and I wasn't expecting the berserkers to do anything but provide a distraction for the Alphas for the turn or two until they die, so I went back to monitoring the siege.

A few turns later, I notice that not only are the berserkers not dead, they're heading straight for the front gates that I have under siege. My squad of Alphas haven't made contact yet, so I don't have any active intelligence on events in the hive outside of the section I'm sieging. Finally the berserkers reach the siege, and it's motherfucking Kharn, killing everything in his path. He cuts a bloody swath through the defenders, smashes open the main gate, and proceeds straight through the bulk of my forces, inflicting more casualties than I'd taken from the entire rest of the siege. Even with the losses he'd inflicted, taking the hive was piss-easy with the gates open.

Hell of a guy.

Anyone have the Sororitas, or the Lord General expansion?

Anyways I'm setting up my chapter beliefs is it worth it to worship the Emperor and get good relations with the Ecclesiarchy?

Fuck this game.

A century in, everything seems to be going great, and then it turns out my entire command structure was riddled with Alpha Legion infiltrators!

How are you supposed to defend against shit like that!? I passed two separate inqusitorial inspections despite everybody but my Forge Master being a bloody chaos marine!

>>16477486
Use the purge.

>>16477088
oh man this guy is right! Imagine, king of dragon pass 40k style!


also, i think this could be modded to a total war style of game play.
or a board game.like twilight imperium.

So, a mix between a grand strategy game, total war and a bit of dorf fort with the combat mechanics of mount&blade and/or space marine...

GLORIOUS

but the purge mechanic is fucking horrible. Unless you have an extremely high skill chaplain on hand you'll have to bring in an outside inquisitor. Those guys kill 25% more marines, on average, than there are traitors in my chapter.

I've done it twice and each time it took maybe 54 years in order to gain a semblance of my previous numbers.

I guess they made that mechanic fluff-accurate at least.

All you guys whining about Alpha legion infiltrators should give the Chaos side of the Sabbat Crusade expansion a try. Seriously, what in the fuck? It's like a litany of bullshit and it was written for me personally.
My Anarch gets ambushed and whacked right at the start. One of my best generals manages to cause a insurrection on a world and despite outnumbering his foe in every single way somehow fucks up and dies. I almost have the Imperial crusade cut in two and suddenly a "Imperial Saint appears!". You'd think the best assassins in the sector could pull it off but it's a complete mission failure. Yet when I capture a enemy general as a potential defector he dies at the first assassination attempt. It's like every time I'm about to win someone just happens to be in the right place and the right time to ruin me.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS GAME EXPECT ME TO DO

>>16477779
Always morons and "no fun allowed" types doing it. Most people aren't that "autistic". I know that isn't what true autsim is but the term is a really great insult.

So guys, I had my tech marines doing some expansions to the catacombs, and they dug up this strange metal doorway that glows green. Also they're going absolutely crazy about it and recruiting half the chapter serfs to play Indiana Jones. How fucked am I?

I hate these threads, I know they are all fun and games and such but sometimes the games sound so awesome that it depresses me that they will never really exist.

To be honest, I would kill for a "Chapter Master" mod for DF. Though "Forge World" would probably require the least overall changes, since the Admech are pretty dwarflike as it is.

Some specific summons are terribad broken. Doom Rider for some ungodly reason had a tripled fear-causing range.

Also, I forget which Nurgle summon it was, but one of them will create a birthing machine of nurglings, which will then cause a stack-overrun error and kill the game.

Did you download the latest patch? They nerfed the fuck out of Summon, because there was a bug in the script that caused the player to get much better Summons than they were supposed to much more often. On the other side of the coin, the patch fixes Berserker A.I. issues, so I downloaded it.
Now the fuckers actually target infantry rather than just going for vehicles.

Wait, what is this game and where do I find it?

>>16478400

Naw man, they fucking nerfed it where his "HIT ENEMY OR HIT FRIEND" decision is made by a dice roll.

Depending on how many points you dump into the apothicary, the best you can get is a 75+ bonus to that roll (Which the computer fucking cheats at anyways)

So, at best, you'll lose one guy to every three enemy the Black Rager takes out.

>Chapter Master (Tactical score of 1) decided to join in.
>why.jpg
He takes half my forces and goes to fight them.
I'd have rather he took everyone, at least then he'd have a chance of winning.
To be fair, he won anyways, but only because he was delayed in getting there (random event, warp instability or something like that, accidentally clicked past it) and the Orks had nearly spent themselves.
So we won, woo hoo-
>Reports of a nearby battle, Necrons vs Space Wolves
>Ohfuck we aren't prepared for this-
>Chapter Master decided to join the fight
>Lose all of my newly veteran-status marines to Necrons while the Space Wolves barely sustain any casualties at all.
I think they used us as a living shield. Shortly afterwards, they called us unworthy of being descended from them and pulled all support out.
I think we reminded them of their cowardice too much.

I got pissed when I went down to help another chapter. We won the battle but then I got killed because the chapter attacked us for being 'chaos' and traitors. They were Dark Angels.

anyone else pissed that working close with the Inquisition has no real benefits? They dont offer aid to you unless they are right there, their rewards for helping them are minimal and if you see something you shouldnt have, you have to ride out an investigation to see if your chapters been tainted.

Mind yo uif your bros with a radical then the rewards are good, but then you have the regular inquisitors knocking at your fucking door everyday.

If they ask for your help that requires more than company strength.... well you gotta weigh the risks.

Well its hard to not piss someone off in the game.

Was serving with the Black Templars in a protracted siege of Chaos Renegades.

They got on my case about my Librarians.

And later I got an inquisitorial visit. Nothing happened, but hey, cant please everyone.

>He and his honour guard single handily ensure my entire southern territory is kept safe for 15 turns before dying

Tip: Only pay attention to what the Inquisitors and Ultramarines say. As long as the Inquisitors think you're above-water, let those Black Templars call you out. It doesn't waste any of your Prestige when you pass inspection, and eventually you'll have such a clean record that they will actually help you out.

Every time I get called for an inquisitorial tribune, I send the captain of 2nd company with the Daemon Hammer they gifted to me.

Who knew hammers were good for negotiations?

> - don't do crazy shit in battle

The thing is sometimes doing cvrazy shit is what you need to do

>playing custom chapter of my own, called Ash Serpents (Salamanders founding)
> Fighting off a chaos invasion
> enemy traitor legion rolls up a land raider
> all I have is a rhino and predator
> predator goes up in smoke
> got no anti armor gear left except some melta bombs
> order troops to place meltas in rhino. Rhino rams the land raider, detonating the melta bombs
> land raider destroyed, along with its cargo of terminators

better to lose one rhino then three entire companies.

To elaborate, the game is actually rigged that random allies will call down inquisitors on you, which is good, because passing Inquisition inspection is a really easy way to boost prestige. I had one game where I kept tweaking the chapter next door with something about my supply lines, then fixing it as soon as the inquisition showed up. I basically mined Prestige from them, and later on when the fucking Necrons erupted from under me after I'd just beaten the orcs, a few legions of Inquisibros showed up and flanked them for me.

>Playing Necron total conversion mod
>Sending force to Macragge because hey, what the fuck have I got to lose? I'm necron!
>Large amounts of Warrior and Pariah defections because Maneus Calgar is their spiritual liege

Please tell me that's a fucking bug.

Oh Calgar, sir, you sure look good with hat.

It is pretty hard to determine if an action is 'codex-safe' or not, because it must be a bitch to write algorithms for that. One thing I've found is that if I keep a small segment of my main force, say a fourth or a fifth or so, and steadily stream units from that towards a minor objective point, it sees that I'm charging constantly, and I get breaks on some of the Creed-tacular bullshit that I occasionally have to pull. I take pretty heavy casualties in that section, but it's worth it to get gifted terminator armor and bolter upgrades/repairs.

>>16480101
nope. that's just how the game rolls.
they try to keep everything in keeping with the fluff rather than balanced. it's a blessing and a curse.

So I decided to take the plunge and actually play the Inquisition expansion.

Sup, Apophis?

Not sure if bug or developer's little joke. Feels goodbad, man.

OP here

How the fuck did this thread survive the night?

Holy fucking shit, I just got completely screwed over

Seriously, fuck those robe wearing pansies, go suck the chaplians dick.

Dear god

I just got an email telling me I've become eligible for Fire Warrior: The Tau'Va simulator alpha

I'm in heaven

>>16480466

How's combat?

Trying the Inquisition expansion again
>roll random team
>get Death cult assassins
>awwwwwyeah
>spend every 20 turns making bloodfountains out of heretics
>invest in making new contacts
>spend 200-300 turns revamping stats
>our assassins are now nobles
>diplomancy everywhere
>pit everyone against everyone
>whoops, backstabbing attracted a Tzeentch daemon event
>get branded as heretics

Does every Inquisition game end up as being heretic-ized?

>>16480531

pretty much. You rather go heretic, get accused of heresy or die fighting heresy

>>16480531
Depends on how you play it.
Try going Monodominant.

Just got the Hersey expansion

I love you guys.

Thanks for the tip, but I think the AI seems to be set on insane forever.

>>16480707
That's why you quietly KILL THE FUCK out of Radicals.
Try sniping them in the middle of a battle.

>>16480743
That's the problem. I was in the Inqusitor base, chilling with the dudes, quite aware that we were going to set up a convocation in the next turn.

But yeah, going to try investing on Officio Assassinorum contracts.

How hard is it to mod Dorf Fortress? This seriously needs to be a real thing.

nice birthday hat

devs need to fix the problem of only the armless failure calling dark crusades. If Angron launched one Id be both excited for an epic battle but also piss scared at how badly my chapter would get fucked up

bump for epic thread

>>16480101
At least your cron's don't went batshit insane and transform to flayed ones...

Holy shit, guys. You guys.

This guy is unfuckingstoppable. He's going to be my next Chapter Master, no question. I'm mandating those two traits as part of training all new initiates from here.
The long and short is, I finally figured out how Ultras fuck the galaxy so hard when you're not playing as them--
Hold on, enemy turns just ended. I got a notice about an Inquisitor landing near my awesome Captain...
