Edgar Allen Ho posted:I'm that dude that dares to call ogres "fat" after looking at their shredded pecs, enormous shoulders, terrifying arms, and ability to hold a cannon in their hands The ogre you called “fat” would thank you for the compliment, then eat you. Gut size is a big indicator of social standing for ogres. juggalo baby coffin posted:i'm worried that the chaos dwarfs wont have tall enough hats. all the new forgeworld chaos dwarf minis dont have big hats. Some of the chaos dwarfs in the game right now have decently big hats, and Grimgor refers to “big-‘atted stunties” in one of his quest battles. The question is, how many big hats will there be?

juggalo baby coffin posted:i'm worried that the chaos dwarfs wont have tall enough hats. all the new forgeworld chaos dwarf minis dont have big hats. same As a total ham nerd, weightlifter, and former reenactor this has got me to think about how big an empire cannon, and thus ogre handcannon might be, and I think it'd be roughly this size? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-pounder_long_gun  That's the gun I know how to shoot, and on that thing you have six crew, two NCOs, and and officer. Delete the officer and one NCO because presumably ogres and imperials do not care about safety, and even irl they just observe the battery and don't help work the drat thing. So it takes seven fit people just to move/aim the gun, with the aid of a complex set of levers, ropes, and wooden supports. And two people to load it. And that's victorian military standard, so fairly unreliable. So point being, ogres are hellllllllllllllllllllla buff, and the Empire has serious discipline.

The question is, how many big hats will there be? I'd give the officers classically huge hats and the troops not-quite-as-huge hats. A whole army of 4th Ed era highhats would probably look off juxtaposed with the less overtly silly designs of the other races. That being said a Chorf's hat must add at least a couple of inches. The low clearance helmets we see on those Forgeworld Infernal guard offend Hashut. I'm thinking something like the Dwarf Hammerer's helmets as the baseline.

It would make sense lore-wise too, the size and fanciness of a Chorf hat reflects the social status and position of it's bearer.

The baseline should be 50% extra height for normal troops and 75% for officers. 100% extra hat height for lords.

juggalo baby coffin posted:i dont know how much of that 40k backstory is still canon or if its a leftover from when they were trying to make 40k a 1:1 parallel with fantasy. it is all very confusing. The names of the Chaos Gods being the same is just the two settings doing the similar things but with a different flavour. That and GW not wanting to come up with different names.

Raygereio posted:Way back when 40k first started as the SciFi version of Fantasy there was some fluff about the Fantasy world being a planet in the 40k setting. But any explicit connection between the two settings did show up in later editions. Stuff like Kall Drago showing up in the End Times novels is just easter egg stuff. There is still some subtle implications that the Chaos God are the same but its very very far in the background. It doesn't really make much difference in either setting though so its mostly irrelevant.

I'm also currently playing TK (Settra) and somehow have fought nothing but savage orcs and skaven. Meanwhile all of the minor TK factions have been destroyed by something or another. The province south of me is nothing but ruins and I don't know why but I have an army marching that way to claim it.

I wiped out all the beastmen and arkhan really early on. the only reason I even want those provinces is because the AI is too dumb to build a mine to trade me the marble i need for my weapon item quest.

it's because settra doesn't serve, he rules. as somebody who blew many weeks of allowances on dumbass settra and og tomb kings 6th ed models, perhaps there is some kind of balance between meme and gameplay, but that is questionable at best. but get it the tomb kings don't serve, not even khatep. poor idiot. too bad about his entire story being about him desperately trying to serve.

They should have changed confederate to capitulate if you're playing as Settra. When he says that it's time to join his empire, that isn't a request, it's a statement of fact.

Panfilo posted:Those are pretty badass. Check out the one in the background that looks stuffed with axes, swords, etc. Ogre tribes have no real use for human-sized weaponry. It's too big for the Gnoblars and too tiny for the Ogres. So instead they either scrap it or use it as ammo for the Leadbelchers or the Gnoblar Scraplauncher:

The Ogre army book is relatively new and didn’t exist when I stopped playing WHFB (new as in 20 years ago). Given the illustrations of ogres, my question is whether WH ogres (in this format) predates the super mutants from Fallout3? Ie who stole from whom?

Saw this from the latest update on the blog. Fantasy team pre-production said : "For now, no news is good news. The wheels are turning and pre-production carries on apace. We’d love to be able to share more with you soon but it’s going to be a while yet. Hold tight and trust in Sigmar" No youtubers noticed this afaik. Is it meaningless?

Beamed posted:Does anyone remember that story about the Tomb King catching some dude trying to find a cure for his wife, the guide tries to steal some treasure, and the tomb king lets the dude go after hearing his story? Yep, that's from the Mummy entry in the 2e RPG Bestiary (which is great). It's an Imperial scholar who goes to Khemri to study the ruins in hopes of learning how to help his wife, but his guide steals from them and they find themselves awoken by, you know, being arrested and brought before the King. The scholar knows just enough to be able to talk to his court translator, and while they behead the guide, he explains his case. The king listens a moment, then tells the translator to give the scholar what he came for and help him however he can, 'Because I remember I loved once, too.'
