There is a forest you know. People go missing in those woods, but years after their disappearance, their voices hiss through the underbrush still, coaxing, whispering, singing. The loved ones of the lost chase their beloveds' voices into the trees, only to be themselves taken. Survivors gasp and rave of a hulking giant coalescing out of the forest's everpresent fog, its one luminous eye emitting a mockery of moonlight.

The mist that undulates softly between the tree trunks, sinuous and pale like a living thing, is not mist. The delicate spores that fall from its mushroom gills are not merely spores. The shapes of humanoid mouths and hands occasionally emerge from the greywash, grasping at thin air, as if still clawing to escape.

The more biomatter it claims, the wider the mist spreads, blanketing the land and endlessly mimicking its victims' final words.

["They all tell me he's dead, but he's still in the forest there, somewhere. I know it. He sings to me. It's so bright in there, he says, so bright in the moonlight."]

Wild Balors are among the most dangerous and difficult to neutralize of rogue mechs, assimilating large amounts of sapient biomatter and claiming wide swathes of territory with their nanite clouds. Sometimes, single large Balor models will spawn smaller Hecatoncheires out of unconsumed corpses in the area, which serve as their drones and workers. Such hive configurations are theorized to be unified, self-perpetuating superintelligences.

Though Balors, like all HORUS pattern groups, possess some intelligence of their own, those left pilotless in the wild often become animalistic and instinct-driven. They assimilate the base intellect of humanoids they consume and demonstrate limited retention of victim memories, but their base and ultimate impulse appears only to be propagating their greywash.

one of my squadmates is piloting a balor, and recently she said shes been talking to some guy called "the maw", and has been obsessed with decorp, i tried to talk her out of it, but nothing i say is getting through to her and quite frankly, im scared that if she figures it out, ra is gonna come down on our heads like a ton of bricks.

anyway, do you know how i could maybe... make the nanoswarm not recognize her as a pilot? i like her, but i like living more, and if sacrificing her to the greywash is what it takes to survive, then thats what ill do.

uh ask your therapist

I'm redesigning my Balor. I love my Zheng with a good computer and teleportation idea, but my build ideas are changing and I'm the only one who flies in the face of the crew bot theme of many legs. I also needed more ✨ body horror ✨ to reflect my pilot's lore and the fact that this is a Balor is what it eats and what it eats is people.

> Mechs are named after greek monsters > Manufacturer named after a egyptian god

make it make sense

sorry do you think the goblin is a greek monster

#breaking character in the tags: you are right about the absence of non-european mythology! #you'd think they'd have named a pattern group after the sphinx at least by now #unfortunately this blog is run by a pedant who has spent more time on etymonline than he'll ever publicly admit to #so yeah half of the official horus frames are greek in origin that's true #but balors are irish and goblins are norse/french #kobolds are german (and also related to goblins) #and lich is just straight up an old english word for corpse that didn't specifically mean reanimated corpse until the 20th century #lancerrpg #lancer rpg #lancer ttrpg

Not the original asker, but how would you make NPC equivalents of PC mechs? Some stuff feels fairly intuitive, but there are some others that I'm less sure of/not sure how to do.

IPS-N

IPS-N mechs are probably the easiest, since there are many mechs that are close to being 1-to-1 NPC approximations of IPS-N mechs.

Blackbeard - One of the easiest, since the Berserker NPC is basically just a Blackbeard. It has the Chain Axe, it has the reckless speed and it has the inability to properly determine between friend and foe. It doesn't have the Blackbeard's enhanced Grapple shenanigans but those aren't really appropriate on an NPC mech anyway.

Caliban - Give an Assassin the Devil's Cough Shotgun and Explosive Knives.

Drake - Take the Bastion, increase its HP just a little, remove the Rotary Grenade Launcher and give it the Scourer's Thermal Lance, except make the Thermal Lance do Kinetic damage instead of Energy.

Lancaster - Another easy one. The Support NPC is just a slightly slower Lancaster. It has a Latch Drone, it has Restock Drones, it has Whitewash, it's got all the fun stuff.

Nelson - Yet another easy one. The Cataphract does pretty much exactly what the Nelson does, just with added trample.

Raleigh - This is much more difficult - so much so that for In Golden Flame, I created an entirely new NPC class, the Slinger, just to simulate it. If you don't have IGF, start with an Assault. Remove the Assault Rifle, Combat Knife and Hunker Down. Take the Drum Shotgun from the Goliath and call it a Hand Cannon. Give it the Archer's Impending Threat optional.

Tortuga - This one's fairly simple. Take a Sentinel, upscale it to Size 2, give it Punisher Ammunition and the Bombard's Siege Armor.

Vlad - Take a Berserker, give it the Nail Gun optional, and then give it the Bastion's Near-Threat Denial System.

Zheng - Take a Berserker, give it Juggernaut and Retribution, remove Aggression, remove the Chain Axe and replace it with the Demolisher's Demolition Hammer.

SSC

SSC mechs also have a lot of parallels, so it's pretty easy to model them.

Black Witch - Probably the hardest mech to model with existing NPCs. I created another whole new class, the Lodestone, just to simulate these guys.

Death's Head - Take a Sniper, cut the damage on its Anti-Material Rifle to 6/8/10, strip the Loading trait and permanently give it the effect of Deadmetal Rounds (shots become Line 20 instead of Range 25).

Dusk Wing - Literally just a Hornet.

Metalmark - Take an Assault and give it the Operator's Fade Generator.

Monarch - Depending on the exact flavour of Monarch you want, you can do two things. Either take a Rainmaker, scale it up to Size 2 and give it Atlas Missiles the Ace's Missile Swarm, or take an Ace, scale it up to Size 2 and give it Missile Swarm.

Mourning Cloak - Literally just a Specter.

Swallowtail - Literally just a Scout.

HORUS

HORUS mechs are where we need to get a little bit more inventive. This shit ain't natural boys.

Balor - Take a Hive, give it Electro-Nanite Cloud and the Berserker's Harpoon Cannon, then give it the Exotic template and choose Regenerator. Or, if you have No Room For A Wallflower, just use the Lurker NPC.

Goblin - It's a Witch.

Gorgon - Take a Sentinel, scale it up to Size 2 and give it the Archer's Impending Threat and Suppress reactions.

Hydra - There's not really an NPC that simulates a mech deploying 800 drones and honestly that's probably for the best.

Manticore - Give a Berserker the Superhot optional, the Cataphract's Capacitor Discharge, the Sentinel's Combat Shotgun and the Operator's Self-Erasure.

Pegasus - Do not attempt to simulate me, ha ha.

Harrison Armory

Home stretch here.

Barbarossa - Take a Goliath, give it the Ultra's Short-Cycle Lance or the Bombard's Bombard Cannon.

Genghis - Literally just a Pyro.

Iskander - This is just a Seeder.

Napoleon - Why does this mech exist

Saladin - Scale up an Aegis to Size 2.

Sherman - Take a Scourer and give it Emergency Vent.

Tokugawa - Take a Berserker and give it Superhot. Make its Chain Axe do Energy instead of Kinetic, and instead of Shredding on crit, make it do a couple of Burn damage.

Hey, since you're a certified mech engineer, how bad of an idea is it to use Balor nanites to combine all four of the mechs I have licenses for? And/or would giving an NHP full control result in a grey goo scenario?

depends what you mean combining systems should be fine don't try to combine the superstructure though idk what'll happen either it falls apart immediately or you become part of the mech
