Because it's cold and dark. Honestly, why else would they get lost? There's nothing else to worry about down there. There's no shape to shadows, or echoes of forgotten gods, or even multicoloured pain warriors. That's just silly.

It drove along in a straight line, incapable of guidance. It struck the tower of Shepperton Church, smashing it down as the impact of a battering ram might have done, swerved aside, blundered on and collapsed with tremendous force into the river out of my sight.

I do find a lot of comfort in the fact that we've managed go through this slump without actually letting the whole thing die. It bodes well.
In any case, here is what I did with Illinois Jack. The duel thing was on the compass I think, I tried to make it as fun as possible, hopefully its pretty clear how it works. I don't think its really gonna necessarily make him broken, but I can see it being really useful to tie down.
And with this I only need to finish up the Weapon Lists and go back over the Recruitment section of everyone to include the various equipments before posting.
I'll go back to include newer stuff like the Fenians later, I figure I can always fit them in Mercs once I give it touches up, which should be soon. I will also leave the "subfactions" restrictions open for the moment, and see if its worth revisiting them. I feel like the units will mesh well enough with their intended subgroup anyways that you'd be playing with a handicap trying to meme Saur General + Buffalo Soldiers or Harriet Tubman + Kentucky Rebels. Figuring this out would probably take only a few moments, but I kinda really want to get to something more "weird" right now. I was thinking Mu but there's also the other anon going on about the Italians and that could be cool.
Input about direction is appreciated.

>>90138152

Probably would be 3 at most. He's going to be able to take general Parley actions being a Diplomat, so he can regain spent point himself too.

>Bestial Charge Whenever this model makes a Charge action, resolve a Mount Charge (8/3) against the model charged before resolving the Charge Attack itself. If this kills the model charged, you may redirect the Charge Attack against another enemy model within range.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean that the Skinwalker could have theoretically infinite attacks if it encounters a sufficiently large horde?

Boys I think we have found the hard counter to Morlock spam. Fuck, it might even be their natural predator.

>>90139044
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean that the Skinwalker could have theoretically infinite attacks if it encounters a sufficiently large horde?
Nah, at most its two (albeit pretty darn likely) kills per Charge Action. So a potential of 6 Morlocks erased per turn. Still good, since it can sustain that attack. Also, Reach +2, so the enemy models really don't need to be that close by.
And darn I just realized I forgot to add on the "it spawns with the previous model's wounds if that one is killed" rule.

>>90145289
Oh and there's that blurb about Fallen Parisian women thinking the Pearlescent Princess is a horse-faced fuggly, and all Atlan men must be simps for worshiping her. I guess that might also count as diplomacy, to the French.

With that said, anyone got any idea for mechanics or lore for Mu? There's very little as of now on the doc.

Maybe make Rest in Carnage (or something similar) in an army-wide (or subfaction-wide) rule but remake it as an aura buff? Like, most New Mu models get a special rule
> 1 LD : Use this ability at the beginning of the turn, before resolving Morale. This model and models within 3 of it gain Rest in Carnage for the duration of the turn.
And then some rule mechanic to pump your own Dread, perhaps?
Also, Mu has no workers, perhaps, to change from the usual "workers as chumps", we could have New Mu workers be single model Dinosaur construction crews? Huge Health pool, expensive, can actually fight, but is a really good labourer and you don't have many others so you want to keep that one alive at all cost, and maybe it depreciate effectiveness as it takes wounds?

Morlock spam should definitely be something available to Mu, maybe in vary degrees of brokenness, beyond that I'm not sure. Maybe a heavy cavalry emphasis?

How weak should Morlocks be? Right now I think I only have Husks at 1 Health box in 2e, every other baseline human is at 2. Should the weaker Morlocks be at 1 too?

Have Mu armies have a blanket "If you have less than X models on the field at the beginning of your turn, Deploy D3 Morlock Grunts". with various units adding to the X (so it triggers earlier) or to the D3 roll?

Other options, not necessarily exlcusive

> Amazons kills all Gorgs on sight (which is long after smell, usually). Colonials have never seen a single female Gorg, nor have they seen a male Amazonian.

Shaman maker here. He was intended to be a leader unit that you could take. The Tallfin is the Morlock 'hero' unit

Yeah, that seems like a good idea. I wanted to make him a character who brings horrible monstrosities to the battle but they end up killing him instead, just couldn't figure out how to do it, but using a mutation table might work.

I'll figure that out don't worry! Including him makes so much damn sense I'm kinda kicking myself we didn't think about it before.

2e anon here.
Important rule mechanic question.
I am moving further toward removing the Wound Severity roll as is from 2e. I'm looking at options to keep Wound type variation up to some sort, and the keep the Strength Stat as somewhat important in it. Some options I've thought about
> 1) Have Melee weapons work exactly as Ranged Weapons right now, the profile tells you exactly what wound type and amount is dealt, no variation, just Hit -> Armour. Add a step after the Attack process where if a model would be killed, it may test Strength in order to remain on the field until the end of the turn (so there's a chance to heal it, and it may Activate), at which point it dies if its Health profile is still filled.
> 2) Same as 1, but work a second Wound dealt profile into all Melee weapons (and perhaps find a way to make it work with Ranged weapons as well). So an axe has two Wounds value, lets say Deep+Graze / Grievous + Deep. There's a few options has to how to decide which would be dealt.
>2.1) The Strength mod value on the Weapon becomes a Threshold. If the model has less than its value, deal the first Wound profile. If the model has equal or over, deal the second. Simple, but mostly static.
>2.2 Have the Players do another Face to Face roll, exactly as in the Hit vs Defense roll, but using Strength vs Strength instead of Accuracy vs Evasion. If the Attacker wins, use the second profile. If the Defender wins, use the first. Variable and pretty simple since its just redoing the previous roll with a different value, but it doesn't cut down on the step count.
> 2.3) You always use the first wound profile unless the hit is a critical, in which case you use the other. Worst option imho despite it being the most obvious, because its frontloading Criticals and the variation happens about 10% of the time.
I think I'm leaning toward the 2 Wound profiles, Strength as Threshold option, with the Strength test to remain on the field until the end of the turn by default.

I like 2.1 and I don't see a problem with it being static since having less rolls was what many people were advocating for anyway. But you *could* make it more dynamic by just making the attacking model simply roll their Strength, using the heavier wound profile on success. That's still one less roll than having an extra face-to-face.
Strength roll to survive until the end of the turn seems okay.

Thank you for the feedback, this is the biggest thing I want to get down before posting the newer version,so it really does help a lot.
Another thing that came to mind is that some models or some weapons might have special rules to use something else than Strength as the Threshold. I still wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with the Dagger's Backstab special rule for assassins and that might be it.

>Shaman maker here. He was intended to be a leader unit that you could take.
Understood, thank you! Would you mind I made him a Leader with a special rule saying you can take up to 3 copies of him? It would help tie down the whole "spam insanely fragile things with tiered aura buffs based on how many copies of the rules are within 3 and which you can incidentally clone with the Idol of the Deep" thing I was planning on them having.
>The Tallfin is the Morlock 'hero' unit
As in "Build your own Hero" thing I've got going on in 2e or as in a Specialist/Elite?
>>90171113
I think we need at least one big scary Morlock Soldier Profile, something that still may dies to a slap but less likely than Grunts or others (so just same rule as Grunt but higher Strength to pass) but actually can wreck in combat, so would you be open to having the Morelock be a Soldier and/or Elite and we keep the Mad Morlock Shaman as a Leader?

Jesus Christ how absolutely horrifying. Putting down Morlocks is an act of charity if that's something they have to deal with.

>>90176439
The Shaman's a generic "leader' unit for the morlocks. So sure. I'd say the only limited leaders would be Tallfins and the Voivode

Anyone wanna offer some idea as to what the Khan's True Form looks like? I assume its shadow-themed?

>>90177199
I like the idea that they never provided an official model for the second form. And confirming how it 'looks' would be detrimental.

>>90164342
I honestly kinda like the idea of some big war between a bunch of Allied Gorg tribes and Atlan, probably over slavery, lead by someone called "The Great Gorg" or something like that. Only really cause I like the idea that this entire conflict is regularly de/re-canonized between editions, because people either hate making Gorgs serious and Atlan weaker, or love making Gorgs serious and Atlan weaker.

>Legends tell he rode in one day, perhaps from the east, perhaps from the west.
>Never from the Gorgs' own clan. He was always an outlander, cast out from his kin.
>His shroom cap bore no horns. His fate should have been to be butchered like the trash he was.
>But in those times, the Gorgs were weak. They languished under the twin lashes of Atlan and Mu.
>The No-Horn came to the Gorgs then. And, desperate, the Gorgs listened.
>It was from the Great Hornless Gorg that they learned to make war. Not merely to raid and to pillage, but to unite as a true horde of horns.
>He had learned much in his time between the clans. He had learned much from their captors.
>The Great Hornless Gorg lead a campaign of bloodshed unlike any that the depths had seen.
>Great cities burned beneath his steed's unshod hooves. Atlan in particular felt the sting of his rage.
>No one knows what happened to the No-Horn. He just vanished one day.
>His people liberated, for the time being, his work was done.
>Never again would the Gorgs endure slavery, for he had taught them to fight as great nations do.
>Never again would Atlan or Mu or any other slaver within the depths prey upon Gorg villages with impunity. They learned caution, to never take enough to spur another great horde into action.
>Many believe that the No-Horn still wanders, unwelcome in any clan, having saved them all from ruin.
>If he were to ever show his face in times of peace, he would be strangled and butchered and thrown in the stink pots.
>If he were to ever appear in times of peril, any Gorg would cut off his cap's horns for the right to march at that Gorg's side.
>Beware the wrath of the No-Horn, all ye men of the deep. Beware the wrath of the Gorgs.

Yeah, some sort of elite morlock sodlier sounds good. Still shit, but less shit than a regular morlock. Something to give a little bit of oompah to your spam.
