Orks watching a bard play his lute so hard another Ork explodes. Now they all charge into battle playing string instruments that cause nukes to go off

Don’t forget about casting wish, perhaps the wizard wishes to heal the emperor
@deathsheep22
Hey look the warlock made a new pact!..... Why does the warlock smell so bad... What's... A nurgle.....
@Darkknight-rf2hw
They'll be buried in the sheer amount of bodies like that one pre dark times of technology planet did. But the players wpuld at least make sure a primarch or two remember their names and faces

Have a level 20 cleric cure the God Emperor off the throne.

Hey if those few shorts were anything to go off on… sounds like a ton of fun

Remember. The biggest trait among dnd characters is "Refuses to die quietly", and in a grimdark world, that earns you some of the best stories. "The Planet Broke Before The Guard" is still a story about the good guys losing, every heroic Kriegsman charge where five thousand "normal" men literally choke the enemies in a sea of blood for victory is still, really, a story about the good guys losing. But its about defiance. Armageddon rages, evil surrounds, and hell itself opens up in front of you, so laugh. Laugh your own madness and scream your own rage into the maw of oblivion and, knowing that you must die, stand, stand against the tides of Chaos and be the stone in its throat, that you shall carve out a tiny wound. That Chaos itself shall bleed for taking you.

The thing is a guardsman migth have commoner stats but the equipment is a totally diferent story with armor many times stronger than anything modern and the "flashligths" being guns that have looots of ammo that recharges with heat and pierces any modern armor
@zirtd9256
thumbs up for the chainsword
@mariobartolini2158
I mean, a level 5 fighter with a regular wooden bow can shoot down a brick wall, that's way better than what most space marines can do Already at level 7, if the gm is using only basic commoner and guard stat blocks you can already siege a small city with a 5 man party A level 1 barbarian on average hits harder than a natural lightning If anything, a level 10 adventurer would probably beat a space marine most of the time And at higher levels with all the crazy spells you get as a caster (expecially compared to wh psyons that risk exploding in demon juices if they try too hard) you could realistically change the fate of a battle with a party (not alone, with a proper army)

I would like to see an animated short, where the guardsman played D&D
@WetzforLife
Slaanesh meets a bard and has a career change to become a pious nun of the Ecclisiarchy.
@Idnekib
"Having a dog time losing" is the best description ever made about a DND game.
@johnathangoldstein9991
The bard is going to steal slannesh's spot as a chaos god
@kzazazazk
Bard becoming a follower of slanesh would put even the strongest noise marines to shame.
@TomFromMars
My thoughts exactly, it's really level dependant and i would have gone for about the same scale: Level one is commoner Level 5 is elite imperial guard Level 10 is on par with orks and SM Level 15 and up is world breaking. But also you have to account for the ressources the factions can pour into a fight. I've never heard of a dnd bbeg using artillery. World destroying threats are used as a final plot point in dnd, they are a ressource easily managed and somewhat frequently used in wh40k, so in the end, the dnd party loses not in a fight but against real life war logistics.
@oldeskul
The wizard would get put on a black ship and sent to Holy Terra where they'd either get sacrificed to the Golden Throne or put through the Astra Telepathica. The sorcerer and the warlock would both get burned at the stake. The cleric would wind up in the Ecclesiarchy. The paladin would wind up becoming either a commissar or an Arbites. The rogue would wind up a member of an assassin temple.The fighter and the barbarian would get rolled up into the Imperial Guard. The monk would either get rolled up into the Ecclesiarchy, or the Arbites...maybe an enforcer. The druid, if they can avoid capture, would be chillin' on Catachan or some other heavily forested/jungle death world. That's assuming they're all human. If they're anything other than human, burnt at the stake and/or bolt round to the face and/or both,
