But the faction contains more than just old Space Marines with a penchant for blood. There’s humans as well. Well, more like “humans,” but still. Get a look at these Jakhals in this preview.

From the article:

Not every member of Khorne’s favourite Legion is a superhuman Berzerker clad in crimson and brass power armour from an earlier era – many are just enthusiastic go-getters with a penchant for chainblades and combat stimms. These gore-drenched groupies are the Jakhals, some of the strongest and toughest mortals to serve in the forces of Chaos. They’d need to be, considering the frothing psychopaths they rub shoulders with.

Jakhal packs are fanatically loyal to their masters, and seek to emulate the World Eaters in everything they do. They’re quick to fight among themselves if there’s no more appropriate target for their bloodlust – eager to impress their lords with displays of brutality and skill – but in the field, they hunt together like starving beasts.

Each Jakhal’s combat prowess is further boosted by tanks of sloshing chemicals, sutured to their backs by the Legion’s Berzerker-surgeons.* This cocktail of questionable chems elevates their natural ferocity to inhuman levels, helped along by the addition of a very special ingredient: eight drops of blood, taken from the World Eaters themselves.

Paizo Previews Companions in Kingmaker for Pathfinder https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/paizo-previews-companions-in-kingmaker-for-pathfinder/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/paizo-previews-companions-in-kingmaker-for-pathfinder/#respond Mon, 10 Oct 2022 09:19:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=328 The Kingmaker adventure path is coming to Pathfinder 2nd edition soon. With it, there’s a single player variant for those times when nobody else can make it to gaming night. In there, there’s companions, because adventuring entirely alone is no fun. We get a look at these companions and how they work a little bit in this article.

From the article:

Later this month, the beloved Kingmaker Adventure Path makes its Pathfinder Second Edition debut with a slate of over a dozen products, both updating the fan-favorite campaign to the new rules set (as well as updating the Pathfinder First Edition rules and expanding into D&D 5E) and incorporating content from the bestselling Pathfinder: Kingmaker computer game from Owlcat Games.

In the computer adaptation of the campaign, a single-player experience, the protagonist meets, befriends, and comes to rely upon a cast of NPC companions who help form their adventuring party and rule their eventual kingdom. When we set out to bring content from the computer game into the tabletop version, we knew we wanted to include these characters, but weren’t quite sure how to do it. After all, a typical play group already has multiple PCs who do what the companions in the CRPG did.

The result was the Kingmaker Companion Guide, a 128-page sourcebook to provide GMs running Kingmaker (or any campaign, really) the tools they need to integrate more than a dozen fully fleshed out NPCs into the campaign as optional expansions to the already massive 640-page Pathfinder Kingmaker Adventure Path. Additionally, the guide presents rules for an optional camping system, complete with new downtime activities for players to use while exploring the Stolen Lands, and expanded weather rules.

Corvus Belli Previews Helen of Troy for CodeOne https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/corvus-belli-previews-helen-of-troy-for-codeone/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/corvus-belli-previews-helen-of-troy-for-codeone/#respond Mon, 08 Aug 2022 15:31:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=614 The Operation Blackwind pre-release continues. Those that sign up for it can get some free limited edition minis. One of which is Helen of Troy. Get yourself a look at this exclusive mini this preview and make sure to get your Infinity CodeOne pre-orders in before it’s too late.

From the article:

Even an assault force devoted to action and violence recognizes the value of diplomacy in certain (albeit limited) circumstances. Nonetheless, when it’s necessary to resort to dialogue and negotiation, the Phalanx always prefers to proceed on its own rather than relying on the experts of the Administration for Institutional Image. The negotiators of this OperationS division are renowned for their mellifluous speech, their trickery, and their readiness to agree to “lose the battle but win the war” compromises, which is unthinkable for the aggressive and ruthless warriors of the Phalanx. The men and women of the Assault Subsection always mistrust these OperationS specialists and view them as sly backstabbers. The Phalanx believes when entering negotiations that they should be carried out on its own terms, which naturally also means in its own unique, signature style. The Theoroi, the Phalanx ambassadors, epitomize this certain style, and none more so than Helen of Troy, the most notorious of them all.
