D&D is actually pure storyteling, with dice and a set of guidelines to dictate the results of some actions. But ultimately, it is always the gamemaster's prerrogative to ignore the dice and do what he feels is best for the story.

Warhammer is chess with dice.

Visual Novels are computer version of the old CYOA books. And since they also have visual representation, they usually forego things like descriptions of characters, locations or character reactions.

I consider them a good exercise, as a mix of game design and storytelling, to bite into. Tools like Ren'py also help a lot.

Good morning. =)
Well, I don't know how far you've gotten, but I just killed off Chaos with the pyro nuns and completed their run.
Turns out my estimate was pretty good. Said it'd take a little over 20, and it took 24 hours to complete that.

This smacks (appropriate word) of self flagellation - wouldn't you prefer wearing a sequined squirrel suit and dancing around with pixies? Less blood and violence, perhaps, but much cuter songs ;-)

I've only just started but I'm hating the pyro nuns already. They're useless, and have no proper weaponry. With marines I can equip my devastator squads with anti-infantry or anti-vehicle weaponry and support them with dreadnoughts or predators if anything big comes too close to them.

These flaming bitches only have bolters or flamers to choose from.

The melta waponry is also severely nerfed, it's supposed to be a flash of super-heated plasma released from a miniature fusion reactor, thousands, if not millions of degrees hot.

And I see guardsmen with their tissue armour, shrugging it off like it was a light summer breeze.

Catharsis is good, with or without the squirrel suit. And to be honest, pixies get on my tits. I'd probably end up stamping them into the ground to shut the little morons up. This is feeling a bit like Warhammer....

I suspect it will be something along the lines of "useless fire obsessed flagellants."

It does have some epic lines.

"METAL BAWKSES THE FEWLS!"

And about every line spouted by Indrick Boreale, the space marine commander, who sounds like a drunken Glasgowian.

I believe everybody was drunk when doing the voice recording.

You've already come up with something that sounds ten thousand times more pleasant than playing Soulstorm nine times. -laughs-

Almost missed that.

A wondrous gift composed of legal tender bank notes.

The little giveaway I started yesterday already has more applicants than the witcher one at the start of christmas ever did; and that pleases me. I think I'll end it during the afternoon and declare the lucky winners.

They're made out of toilet paper, even with the upgrade, and for a bunch of supposedly obsessively faithful murder nuns, their morale breaks like cheap glass to boot when they're up against something like a Chaos Lord with the morale killer item.
You can complete the whole thing with nothing more than normal troops with heavy bolters and melta squads (adding missionaries for infiltrator shitheads), Immolators and Penitent Engines if you get bored and feel like doing melee.
Seraphim are worthless, their only value is krak grenades (which you have to pay for to upgrade), and you'll already have melta squads that also get the grenades with the upgrade.
And yes, melta squads are bullshit. They should be, oh I don't know, FUCKING MELTING PEOPLE, and yet they seem to have had their weapons replaced with "hey we're not trying to kill you so much as fondle your balls until you laugh at us so hard your heart explodes" beams instead. Getting the melta upgrade from the vehicle builder is pretty much essential, every single time, just to try to mitigate their shittiness.
As for their faith powers, I used the blindness power that the canoness gets if you pay for it and the missionary power that increases attack damage. That's it. Everything else just sat there.
Also, their ultimate weapon sucks too. She absorbs damage, but that's about it. I've left her flying ass to fight off a single squad of regular enemy troops, gone off to do other things, then come back to find her still there, chiseling their health away one miniscule shred at a time.

So yeah. You got it right. They're pretty godsdamned useless. Looking forward to playing as a group that sucks less ass.

STOMPIN' is the most widely recognized and acceptably orky way to deal with anyone who is not an ork. It can also be used on other orks if they're being annoying.

Stompin' is the perfect solution to all and any problems an ork may face.
