Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
The main 'Dwarf' article on the same wiki that I linked for Expatriates. It does describe Dwarf dowries - admittedly that's the human word used to describe something only somewhat similar rather than identical. It is paid for by the male's family to the female's, typically an amount that is literally equal to her weight in gold. And I mean literally - Dwarf women are weighed at their engagement on a big set of scales.
It's less about the money itself, rather proving that the male Dwarf can provide his wife with the lifestyle to which she is accustomed, or better. Hence why Dwarf Princesses can 'marry downwards' without social upset, provided that her husband is rich enough.Last edited by Wraith; 2021-01-01 at 05:34 PM.

though I do find it odd that there is such a gender ratio disparity.

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
On that note, do the Lizardmen have any influence over the spawning pools or do they work largely independant of the desires of the Lizardmen?
I've never been wholly clear on if the Slann can make the pools create a new generation or if generations just happen according to some ancient timetable the Slann are only partially aware of.Sanity is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
Its definitely not a set timetable as pools spawn more / special lizardmen in response to invasions, but I dont remember it ever been mentioned that Slanns handle it themselves either.

So if the Badeptus Astartes are chaos space marines and the Madeptus Astartes are the angry marines... who are the sadeptus Astartes?

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
There's probably a Chapter out there who specialise in having Destroyers and their associated nuclear weaponry? Can't bring to mind who it would be, apart from the Dusk Raiders/Death Guard who used to have Scorched Earth as their gimmick before they sold themselves to Chaos.

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
Maybe the seemingly spontaneous spawnings are part of the scheduled timetable, but the plaques predicting them and the conflicts that precipitate them have been lost. The lizardmen have lost a lot of knowledge, which does include bits of the spawning predictions.
Or maybe the Old Ones are still able to control things to an extent from where ever they went. Or maybe Sotek has some influence.
All conjecture, but I suppose it's unlikely to ever be answered fully so conjecture is all there is.Sanity is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
The Wiki implies it's a mix of both. Most spawnings happen according to "astrological cycles" - presumably things like the equinoxes, they're regular enough that cities generally don't have much overlap between generations of Skinks as the passing one is almost immediately replaced by the new one.
But then, there are some spawnings that happen according to mystical provenance - a long lost clutch of eggs hatches with a particular breed of Skink just as they're needed, as if it were foretold. An old Dogs Of War unit - Huichi-Titchi's Raiders - was born this way, coinciding with a spawning of Cold Ones with matching markings on their skin as if they were meant to be together as a unit of Cold One Riders. They went on to be pivotal in recovering lost Lizardmen plaques of prophesy that were used to avert various disasters and similar things, attaining folk-hero status among other Lizardmen.~ CAUTION: May Contain Weasels ~

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
Sure. And given their recent teenie haircuts, the Raven Guard are the Fadeptus Astartes.
I also propose Tradeptus Astartes for Ultramarines.Last edited by Eldan; 2021-01-03 at 04:09 PM.

Found this video. Thought it was worthy enough to share more IF vs IW feud.

Re: Warhammer 40k Fluff Discussion XVII: Call Necrosius, The Old Thread Is Dead!
No save, but it says 'can not be wounded'. Smite, and mortal wounds, dont have a 'to wound' roll, you just lose them. It doesn't say 'can not lose wounds' (like, for example, Ghazkull). Also, 'killed' doesn't existe, the term is Destroyed. So one smite on a roll of 3+ and well it gets to respawn. Just gotta keep killing it every turn for easy Assassinate VPs. Its like a more annoying Solitaire, with no strat support and no inv. (it also dies to shuriken fire, because 3d6 autosaves aren't really all that many)
