All jokes aside, the potion doesn't make you invulnerable to harm (Getafix states so in the very first comic album), so a simple las barrage would take care of the matter.

To be fair, at times he could. The Great Divide, Black Gold, & Son and the Actress were all good fun and decently well written, I thought. And the Magic Carpet, while weird as hell, was also very memorable.

I'd have them be rogue traders over Inquisition. But that's me.

>>45984025
Well, I think it would work too, but Inquisition like in Chapter Master would be a little bit better for me.

Still, good idea.

Make them a mixed bunch of Freebootas, Eldar Coisars and other Scum, like the mixed crew they are in the comics.

Obelix turns to stone if he drinks the magic potion.

>>45986244
Small amounts spared far apart can serve as supercharges.

Though once he drank some and turned into a child so fuck knows.

>>45986376
I'm gonna go with "the result is unpredictable, you might as well roll on the Psychic Phenomena table unless he only drinks a few drops."

Don't forget the clever ratling with battle drugs and a power knife at his side.

What would the Gaulish village look like as an Imperial Guard Regiment.

Obelix is an happy-go-lucky Ogryn
Asterix the ratling sniper.
Getafix is the kindly old sanctioned psyker.
Vitalstatistix is the blustering CO who nobody listens to.
Dogmatix is the genetically engineered pet of Obelix, whose sweet nature belies the fact that he can bite through a Leman Russ.

>>45982508
Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap.

Who buys the large stones Obelix delivers?
Also, was Asterix ever seen actually using his sword? I've always seen him punching things.

>>45986641
Would Asterix be a sniper though? He's not even a bowman but a sword fighter/brawler.

>>45986664
Once or twice he's had it unsheathed in battle and swung it around but never cut anyone. Probably for tone and age rating reasons. It's usually used as a tool.
That said he *is* one of the village's best warriors so it's implied he knows what he's doing with it. Put in 40k with chainswords and meltaguns and justna little dagger isn't going to effect the amount of bloodletting much.

>>45986664
He duels sometimes but I don't think he's ever done more than aggressively sliced someone's hair/clothes off with it.

asterix IS the weapon, the sword is a utility tool, like shotguns today

>>45986664
Multiple times, but the damage always stays within comedy levels of course. It happened during The Gift of Caesar and The Cauldron, among others.

Oh, and few people seem to actually buy from Obelix. It's mostly a hobby for him considering he can hunt for food easily enough, though I recall the fishmonger buying some for decorating a holiday home once so it happens now and then.

>>45982982
If you say it aloud, it sounds like "My kingdom for an 'orse".
Which sounds like "My kingdom for a horse", a very famous line from Shakespeare's Richard III.

>>45982434
And Assurancetourix in the original version.

>>45986883
Wasn't it also a ploy by the Romans at some point, to buy menhirs and destroy the village through introduced capitalism or something?

>>45987162
Yup. Destroyed Rome's economy and created massive menhir stockpiles that were worthless overnight. Got a copy of that one somewhere I think.

>Greeting brave soldier, I heard they was some chaos cultist hidding in our rank.

>>45987303
But that guy is literally THE ultimate chaos cultist. He literally causes chaos just by his presence.

The guy is practically a chaos god in his own right.

>>45986713
>That said he *is* one of the village's best warriors so it's implied he knows what he's doing with it.

He once duels a Roman war veteran and wins without potion. The Roman was drunk, though.

The Goths would be the Blood Ravens.
Who else would try stealing Getafix?

>>45982020
Obelisk can't drink the potion. He doesn't need to anyway, he has infinite strength since he fell in it as a baby. Can't remember which comic it is, but he drinks some and turns to stone.

>>45987441
Yes, but it was said the Roman has never been sober during his entire 20 years of serving, and he still survived, plus got into some sort of elite swordsmanship order.

>>45987689
But in that story, there were actually several Gothic tribes that wound up feuding over him (playing them off against each other is ultimately how the Gauls sneak away), so I'm not sure if that works out. Seems more like the internecine warfare of the Orks or the agents of Chaos.

>>45987739
He can still drink drops of it, like in Asterix and Cleopatra.

>>45987739
Didn't he drink like a whole cauldron of it though?

>>45987444
Eh, his Chaos is exclusively destructive. He shows up and people start fighting amongst themselves randomly. He comes up with a scheme or two but it's always to destroy other people (and often self-destructive).

The chaos takes two forms: instant breakouts of fights, and a pervasive atmosphere of distrust.

He's like the lovechild of Khorne and Tzeentch.

>>45986244
>>45987739
This gives a bit of insight as to what the potion does. It gives your body stone-like qualities. Obelix simply overdosed.
Also at the end of the same comic a Roman centurion did the same. So apparently you don't need to fall in as a baby, drinking a whole cauldron at once will petrify you even if you've never had it before.

>>45987921
and turned to stone, yes

>>45988327
if i remember well it was some up and above the chain general that got stuck on the forts or someting thought he could bet REALLY strong if he drank a whole cauldron of potion
got turnet in to stone, and cesar put hit to work
as decoration, i think he put a sign that said idiot

>>45988095
>>45988564
What happened was Getafix gave the stone-Obelix a potion to reverse the effect. It worked, but also turned Obelix into a child and he lost his powers. Not realising this, Obelix gets captured by the Romans and is put on a ship back to Rome to act as a bargaining chip with the Gauls (since they have Caesers galley and the admiral was put in charge of recapturing it before it reached the village). Things happen and the Admiral loses his own galley in the rescue of Obelix and ends up aboard the Caesers Galley (the Gauls used it to chase them down) and finds some potion, he proceeds to drink it all and turns to stone.

>Oh, those Imperium barges? They were just some holiday entertainment! Glad you enjoyed yourlsef Obelix!

>>45981444
And Asterix is the other?

I wonder what would happend if Obelix fell into Nurgles great plague cauldron

>>45991057
Unless Nurgle has some of Getafix's potion in it, Nothing I don't think he can get sick. But it has been a while since I last read one that wasn't Asterix the Gladiator so I may be wrong.

>>45982941
I didn't know how much I needed this until now. Great work.

People complain about it, but circlejerking can be really fun sometimes.

>>45990173
That was the only book I had of Asterix. I like to think it got me into History, as funny as it sounds.
