    AFB so cannot check but memory serving correctly that

    "+3 Infamy & +5 Corruption per 1000 XP"

    was somewhere in corerulebook as guide line for people not wanting to start "0 XP" character or for those situations where someone has to do new character 'cos old died/spawndom/insert anything nasty here.

     

    It's one off those little rules, hints & guides that FFG has hidden into the pages of Corebooks. In the most not logical ways sometimes.

    Not to be killjoy, just have to ask did you make yourself Genestealer that has Two-Weapon wielder as not one Genestealer (Landholm, Vectorii, Aurum or Pure) in DH or DW books has Two weapon wielder talent. :unsure:

     

    Everything is always in the GM's hand if he wants to make opponents more deadly.  :D

     

    Gonna mod Tyranids from DW to OW campaing. I think my players, they are playing Armageddon/Krieg regiment, think they are against Orks  :ph34r:

    Have you thought of using Breaching Augur as the basis for those huge drills Assault Centurions sport?

     

    Might be pointless to make this chart but for people who asked

     

    Size affecting movement (away from books so from memory, correct is wrong):

     

    Size 4 movement = AB

    Size 5 movement = AB+1

    Size 6 movement = AB+2

    etc etc

     

    Also for some reason popped into my mind that there was one question pertaining Terminator Armours -20 to Agility and movement in Black Crusade (differend line but might be applicable to this situation).

     

    Question: Terminator Armour gives the wearer a –20 to Agility 
    when worn. It is entirely possible that this might bring a character 
    to 0 or less Agility. This, according to page 256, renders the 
    character Paralysed and unable to act though. Is this correct?
     
    Answer: The dropping Agility to zero and being Paralysed 
    is only from Characteristic Damage, not temporary penalties. 
    Although it could drop one’s Speed to zero (although this 
    should be partially offset by one being Hulking) it does 
    not paralyse them. Remember, Tests can apply all sorts of 
    penalties or benefits, and this is just one more penalty to 
    apply to any Agility Test. If the Test was normally Easy 
    (+30), you’d still be making it at a +10.

    Droptroops are often used as well, dropping in and keeping the defenders busy while the lineinfantry close in. I bet novels would have great advice for how the guard does sieges but unfortuneatly I haven't read any guard novels yet...

    Well, when you ask you get answered. I use for this tactic Imperial Commanders used in Siege of Vraks.

    Just short description.

     

    Step 1. Get as many men you can get trained in Siege tactics.

    Step 2. Transport them to destination planet.

    Step 3. Dig huge trenches.

    Step 4. Fill those trenches with men trained in Siege tactics

    Step 5. Bombard the enemy first to get then to keep their head down

    Step 6. Stop Bombarding

    Step 7. Charge the enemys fortification.

    Step 8. If steps 5-7 don't work, just repeat them until you succeed to invade enemy fortification.

     

    Addentum: If you start to go Low on men, just ship more from close planets.

     

    That is Imperial Siegecraft in the nutshell (at least the Kriegs way  :D)

    It's one thing to do something terrible because you HAVE to, rather than you just WANT to, but I've never heard any DE regret being giant pricks...

     

    You know, I never had any desire whatsoever to play a Dark Eldar until I read this sentence. Now I want to play a Dark Eldar that takes no joy in the atrocities that he must commit in order to survive, and wanders the expanse trying to find a way to repair his race's affliction (which is probably impossible).

     

    Is his name going to be Drizzt Do'Urden?  Just curious.

     

    Hssssss!!! He spoke the defilers name  :angry:

     

    Seriously, first name that popped into my mind also.

     

    Also popped into my mind that if ever anyone would bring Character, better yet Dark Elf/Eldar, named after him to my gaming table. I would personally put that character sheet through shredded and then burn the shredded paper to make sure it's dead.  :ph34r:

    Like many has already posted, you don't give birth to Genestealer hybrid a la "Alien" style. Men or Women implanted with Genestealer geneseed just have their children turning into hybrids.

     

    And for the Genestealer kiss, it doesn't have to be kiss to mouth but the tongues tip is hard enough to penetrate flesh.

    As for the Enslaver turning Psyker infected by it to living warpgate, In one comic book has best kind of image you could get for this living warpgate, couldn't find the picture. Just pile of viscera and bones arranged into annulus standing vertical.

    As a happy owner of Space Hulk (2013) I have used those tiles for my advantage.

     

    Also found nice program from the interwebs that I have used to make maps I then show from TV screen for my players and use GIMP to layer it behind Fog of War.

     

    Heres a link

    Note: Qui-Gonn offers Watto, "20,000 Republic dataries". What the heck is a datary? Nothing on Wookiepedia. I guess we have to assume it's just the name given to coins minted by the Republic and it make things simple 1 Datary = 1 Credit. So then what are they called under the Empire?

    From Wookieepedia:

     

    The Galactic Credit Standard, simply called a credit or abbreviated to cred, colloquially referred to as Republic Dataries, and later known as the Imperial Credit, was the main currency in use in the galaxy since the time of the Galactic Republic.

    Memory serving correctly AdMech makes them from clone bodies.

     

    One of my Characters was always taking pot shots against those little buggers. Let's say he didn't have fond memories of those things helping Imperial Inquisitor prying his brainpan open when he was questioned.

    His Family line of respected Military personel and records was put to the torch except him as he was found free of Taint.

    Tell him his potential is Beta Plus.  Let him ponder that...

     

    Let me think here, alpha can snap a titan with a flick of his wrist, alpha plus is alpha 10x and beta plus 10x that....   

     

    well i'm just going to say he's the emperor reincarnated, yep just easier that way.  

     

    I think you misunderstood that.

    Levels go from Strongest to Weakest, Alpha Plus to Omega Minus.

    Alpha plus psyker is Emperor reincarned, but also like a beacon to most Warp entities that here's tasty snack for you to eat.

    Omega Minus is Culexus Assasin.

     

    So if you say your players assingment would be Beta, he would be potent Psyker but not God-like.

    Yes it has when used in incineration mode. Range drops to 50m, and gains Proven (5) and Felling (4)

     

     

    Yeah, I thought he meant when in sniper (accurate) mode, not the useless mode. :).

     

    Well haven't been that useless mode when you have to have something for Close encounters and Shotgun is at home.

    But everyone has their own preference ^_^
