Sup /tg/Been on disability a few months now and boredom is driving me crazy so I decided to start with 40k.My experience in tactics is none. I just kind of chose the faction that appealed to me most, that faction being Emperor's Children.Can anyone here provide some assistance in what to buy next to round out the randomness of my forces. There's a local 40k/Warhammer club in town and when I show up I'd like to have an army that is somewhat balanced enough to have a snowballs chance in hell at winning some point in the future.If anyone is asking why Slaanesh it's simply our commonality, intersexualty. 2 posts and 2 images omitted.

I was just released from prison, and I have some interesting news to report. It turns out that A.) a lot of the guys in there are big fans of tabletop RPGs, and B.) any sort of dice are typically considered contraband (I guess because they are associated with gambling?) and are very hard to come by.So I started thinking about other possible randomization methods. Although dice are banned, for some reason playing cards are always allowed. So my question is: are there any robust RPG systems out there that use playing cards? And, if not,0do you have any suggestions for how to create such a system? 1 posts omitted.

Don't hard cheat and build a perfect counter to what your players turn up with on the day unless they lay it all for him to see. If he has scouts or spies and any lived after seeing the party in action then he'll know their class based on their abilities (assuming they used some signature abilities) and equipment. So he'll know what their best and worst saves are likely to be (combined with their obvious wit, speed, build whatever) he won't necessarily get it perfect but he should at least be countering their class. If he doesn't do that after a turn or two he should figure it out. He can't read their character sheets but he will know anything they've let his network know about and he'll have a good idea what to expect. Don't have him fall for stupid shit. He'll have friends, make sure he has a strategy of some sort.His lair will be defensible, the terrain will have more problems for players to manage than opportunities. He won't fight them in the throne room unless he funnels them into a narrow entrance and makes them run up a slope (and more). The players will have to think about how to overcome this or whether to power through. He'll have cover where it suits him and maybe some other hazards which are aimed in such a way that they hurt attackers and won't put him in danger unless he ends up out of position a long way. If all else fails have a couple of crazy but likely gambits. I made an elder orb who had several abilities that would conveniently be exactly where the players when if they triggered. He just knew that he'd end up facing enemies there, he'd done the maths. Don't overuse it, and remember to account for it like any other attack when you do. He had one use of that and several other gambits. He is smarter than you. I was honest with my players when I sprung that what I was doing and that also that particular trick only happens once in this fight. It wasn't a gotcha, it was more like a spell or ability. Speaking of network, while he won't run an empire he's causing trouble enough the players come for him so he needs to be up to something. He'll have a few trusted hirelings who deal with other mortals as his lieutenants (maybe corrupt gang, maybe he's even quite civil with librarians who give him access to their tomes) and maybe a few less conventional pets and allies, devils or demons of Orcus, lesser undead, constructs, monstrosities, maybe lesser dragons, etc. He wants knowledge or power for it's own end so he will have spies. He won't have a national network but a few relatively autonomous and reliable (and smart) allies and if the players ping his radar he'll probably have them observe before he acts. Maybe let the players have a chance to catch one or more of the spies. He will also use divination and scry to some extent. In that case he'll play defensive while he scopes them. If he knows they're coming he will have memorised a good spell list for them and prepared a magic item or trap or two. Maybe even spring a simulacrum on them. The lich isn't super threatened if his phylactery is safe so he will probably engage the players on his terms once they start to be a real threat.
