I suggest you go find a copy of Osprey dark 1 : The Nazi Occult

What's up with this line? :psyduck:

I'm familiar with Osprey books from wargaming circles but I never heard of this until you mentioned it. What's actually in these books? Do they cover the real history or is it some weird fictional history or a hybrid of the two? Or is it a retrospective on the fictional material. I'm seeing a Zombies book and the next in the line is an Alien Invasion book, so I'm like totally confused with this.

I know, I had to double check but the woman has them as well. Also, the same guy has three fingers on his gun hand. So I'm guessing that everyone in that picture is some sort of blue-skinned, three-fingered, neck-eared alien.

I think I understand what's going on there, but I have no idea why you'd design it like that.

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the "bunches of spindly-bits and greeble" concept design style that's been popular as of late. It feels more like the designer masturbating than presenting anything that could actual function in real life. Seriously, I'm not asking for everything to look like an iPhone, have a Rubbermaid coating, or be Magpul-ribbed, but why does everything, especially something that's worn and has contact with the human body, have to be so sharp-edged?

Sharp angles are aggressive, it's all about conveying a mood rather than engineering a real mechanical device - it's the same reason a lot of cyberpunk images have big thick tangles of cables everywhere rather than a couple wifi antannae.

I don't want to get nitpicky about it, but it's less talking about the sharp exterior and more about how the ergonomics of the thing and how a protective helmet looks like it's made of a hundred pieces. There's other ways to produce sharp angles without making the whole thing look like it's made of razor blades glued together. If you look at how the HUD is attached, it's these sharp angled metal pieces that hang almost unsupported that run up against her face. A good blow or impact is going to cut her cheek wide open or break some teeth and that's without the whole thing being bent or shearing off and filling her sinuses with twisted metal and glass.

Also, what's the swing-out top portion? Is it an unsecured NVG bracket? Why is something like that on there when it's likely that the helmet has that built-in?

It's like the icing on this poo poo cake. It's like he still couldn't tell it's a woman by trimming down the limb thickness and exaggerating her figure with an oversized chestplate, so he added in girly hair. Why not just take off her helmet if you got that route?

I'm glad they removed the caduceus though, it made it look kind of busy. I like the more alien-looking head too!

The alien-looking head reminds me very much of the Faun from Pan's Labyrinth, which I can get behind.

Since they've got gunpowder and cannons, they could also use a series of petards (medieval-era shaped charge) connected by chains to amputate and decapitate the Titans. And, if you're using those rocket packs to out-maneuver the Titans, wrap your scouts in primitive suicide vests when they get inevitably eaten by the Titans.

A sequel to a high fantasy big wizard war campaign I ran that takes place a thousand years later, when the world has advanced to a modern/near future age and the dark lords return again for another round. The specific campaign is about a bunch of backwoods Not-Norwegians and Not-Finns trying to stop the technomancer dark lord's plans to roll in and build massive, automated robit-and-horror-magic production factories from their country's massive natural resources. Basically, a bunch of relatively ordinary people fleeing to the hills and being forced to wage a guerrilla campaign against a crazy combination of nanotech and necromancy.

I love writing fantasy stuff that averts medieval stasis, and the idea of the land that once produced mighty warriors and shieldmaidens and massive broad-chested barbarian/viking stereotypes turning into a relatively normal place later in history and then having the peace they enjoyed for centuries shattered by a return of dark lord wizard bullshit seemed like fun.

Oh wow, that sounds like the background to Torg's Tharkold, where sadistic demons and humans fight a three-millennium-long war, even through a magical and nuclear post-apocalypse, although the only identified pictures of members of the Race (the free humans) make them look like extras from the future war scenes of The Terminator.
