~Drakzilla~ Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Man, Red Cliff is probably my favorite movie to have come out of China. And I've seen a lot of Chinese movies. Praetor Kong Ming* is gonna have to have some crazy rules though... *note: start thinking of names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I need to rewatch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at some point. And have a word with Skal about my thoughts onmlordly posturing after watching The Assassin (which I cautiously recommend, as it's beautiful but surprisingly sedate and almost maddeningly oblique).

~Drakzilla~ Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Okay, so while things are a little hectic for me since I'm starting college(woohoo), I thought I'd inject some life into this thread with a small query. What should the Warriors of Peace's "battle cry" be? Or rather than battle cry, since I can't really see them yelling during battle, the primary motto/saying for the legion. I keep trying to think of one, but I'm drawing a blank. I'm thinking it should be akin to a buddhist or daoist saying, emphasizing the warrior monk aspect, but still sounding badass. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Before I forget, you can move Han if you want to. I liked the 'Long March' idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 If I do go for a "long march"(which I probably will), then I think Han is fine where it is, being so far from Strela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) I found a couple that don't exactly work as a war cry, but might be part of the training regimen of the Warriors of Peace. "Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty." "The mind is everything. What you think you become."

~Drakzilla~ Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Those would work extremely well for the many kernels of wisdom that the Warriors live by. I imagine that these sayings would be almost like a second voice for them, coming to the forefront of their thoughts and keeping them calm during the heat of battle. What I'm looking for in a general legion "motto" is something that you could see one of the Warriors saying to a dying enemy after a duel. They say the words of their legion, almost as a taunt or a final "told you so" moment, and then they deliver the final killing blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lol. So you suggest that jade and his men should talk like yoda? “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” “You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Warrior of Peace uses martial arts for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” (okay fits better to the Wardens I guess) “Powerful you have become, the warps corruption I sense in you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Drakzilla~ Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Great suggestions all around. One mind, one weapon sounds super cool. Especially like the "peace in death" one, regardless of wording. Yoda speech might be pushing it though... Now I keep thinking of Zaheer from the Legend of Korra: "Release your earthly tether. Enter the void."

MikhalLeNoir Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ah Battlemeditatiom from the wardens but if Jade and Gwal are sworn brothers, why not share it ( is from street fighter animated.movie) Is a great mantra. Breathing, spirit, discipline Focus the mind, cleanse the soul, keep sight of your target Concentrate Focus Be prepared for the unexpected Concentrate, mind and body as one Achieve tranquility through movement Integrate spirit and flesh Channel the powers Focus the mind Cleanse the soul Release that which is negative! Separate darkness and light Mind and body as one Give birth to yourself Oneness through knowledge Define your existence Oneness through emotions Create your definition Oneness with the heavens From strength, learn gentleness Through gentleness, strength will prevail! Be prepared for the unexpected Mind and body as one Be prepared for the unexpected What do you see beyond your fist? (Wardens of Light question and they answer." Our Fate") What do you see im front of your fist? (Warriors of Peace question and they could answer: Destiny.

~Drakzilla~ Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Hey guys! Sorry if I haven't been as active, adjusting to the college life really doesn't leave much time for posting. That aside, I figured it's time to move on with the weapon ideas! Now I was thinking these might be able to get an entry similar to the World Eaters' Caedere weapons, ie. multiple weapons grouped under a single wargear category. If this is seen as 'cheating the system', then I will be happy to pick a weapon or whatever and move on. But for now I'd like to hear some thoughts/suggestions/criticisms on these. Yes, I realize some are definitely more powerful than others; this was intentional. I am always open to making changes. Sinaean Weapons: Power Staff- S:+2, AP:4, Melee, Two Handed, Defensive Weapon Defensive Weapon: When fighting in close combat, a model using a power staff has a 6++ invulnerable save, or adds +1 to an existing invuln save. Kinetic Gauntlet- S:User, AP:5, Melee, Specialist Weapon, Concussive, Dexterous Dexterous: A model that uses a kinetic gauntlet in the turn in which it charges gains +1 Weapon Skill for that turn. Twin Tiger Hooks- S:User, AP:3, Melee, Specialist Weapon, Disarm Disarm: A model that suffers a wound from this weapon must take an Initiative test. If failed, then for the remaining initiative steps and the following turn, the model cannot use the profile for its close combat weapon and may not gain an additional attack from wielding two close combat weapons. If the model has multiple weapons, the controlling player may choose which is lost. Han Broadsword- S:+1, AP:3, Melee, Two Handed, Deep Cut, Versatile Deep Cut: Hits generated by a To Hit roll of 6 automatically wound on a 2+, regardless of Toughness. Versatile: The player may choose to use the weapon without the Two Handed rule, but it becomes Unwieldy.

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I hipe that goes true as this would enable me to use the tonfas not only for show but with rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I will certainly say, they are unique. A quick slot check: 2 units (Peon Squad, Air Masters) - 1 Character (Ju-Long) - 0 Tech Need two more characters, but that still leaves three slots for tech. So, you're one over, but one of them could become the legion relic. Thinking on it, maybe the Peon Squad should be saved for after the joined the Suzerainty. Maybe they are the result of early Suzerainty experiments to mass-produce Astartes. Or they are a sign of desperation as the Suzerainty weathers the Traitor retribution assaults.

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 They have the iron monks. So one unit is already gone. But good thst you are here. As drak brought it up and in the other thread (which one I don't know) I got no realonse from you allfather. Tonfa like weapons grants counterattack. But they use the profile of chainsword, power sword or paragon blade or any other sword weapon and they can be paired. They are just the different swordweapons with counter attack added.

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Did you ever visit the wardens of light thread?^^ From the beginnign they despised swords.and used tonfas amd ellbowblades. But if every single blade has to be exchanged for a wargear, that would be a waste. The cadaere weapon suggestion of drak would have created.an solution. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/8/31/823972_sm-.jpg Above is a tonfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Ah, I did glance through the WoL thread, but, given how busy I am normally, I either didn't notice the request or it slipped from my mind. Either way, I double-checked the World Eaters. I did rule that as a single entry, so I don't mind if the Wardens or the Warriors do that as well. But now I'm worried that I might haven Redd the short end of that stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
