Warhammer

[carmine vapor]

Theres a couple more but expanse is a prime example of big budget adaptation that had lots of momentum

[devout lark]

Minecraft movie, I guess.

[ornate ledge]

Invincible and the Boys have both become very popular.

Though the Boys has definitely fallen off. And Invincible is not really a growing fanbase.

[carmine vapor]

1st epp of expanse was dec 15th 2015

[devout lark]

Invincible isn't live action either though.

[carmine vapor]

So yeah almost all of it was this last 10 years

[ornate ledge]

Oh my bad didn't realize you specified live action.

[devout lark]

Yep yep, hence why i said it counts.

If we count animated we get a lot because we essentially get every successful anime in the pile.

The boys is a terrible adaptation imo. It's a good show, but it, for better(and mostly not for worse) completely abandons the source material.

[ornate ledge]

We talking only TV? Because Dune I would include if we are considering movies.

[devout lark]

My point mostly goes to, a large mass of these adaptations tends to fail.

[carmine vapor]

Dune, foundation

[devout lark]

Dune definitely counts.

[ornate ledge]

Yeah... mostly for the best but I agree.

[ornate ledge]

For sure.

[carmine vapor]

Last of us

Fallout

House of dragon

Andor

[ornate ledge]

Though unfortunately some of them succeed despite having no right to like some of those terrible live action Disney remakes.

[devout lark]

Are we just counting any high concept success?

[ornate ledge]

Andor isnt an adaptation.

[devout lark]

Because I'd say only last of us is a successful adaptation out of those.

[carmine vapor]

Either way, your trying to assert that live action highly cgi things aren't successful right now

And its just not the truth

[devout lark]

Oh absolutely not.

[ornate ledge]

-# Andor also isnt heavily CGI~

[carmine vapor]

True

[devout lark]

I'm trying to say that mass scale live action adaptations, particularly of written media, tend to fail way more often than they succeed, either as adaptations, in quality, or financially.

Typically with some mix of all 3.

[ornate ledge]

It is and has always been tremendously hard to have all of those to be fair.

[devout lark]

And that it's not particularly negative to think that a failure is likely until shown otherwise.

[ornate ledge]

I try to keep as optimistic as I can about things I like but I get what you are saying. I have been a Star Wars fan for long enough to find it hard to not have the same mindset.

[devout lark]

In general i think track record matters a lot and I'm also mostly optimistic about the idea of it.

As I said, i think it'll be solid quality wise as long as Cavill stays in charge.

I think it'll end up ballooning out of control and then never make back the money.

[carmine vapor]

I would argue that adaptations and stuff like this are actually whats propping up the film and TV industry right now

[ornate ledge]

Fair. I would be really worried if Cavil is not in charge and I do think that the more we get of it the more likely it becomes that we will get bad bits.

[carmine vapor]

Like 70% of the top grossing things in the last decade are all adpatations

Im not too worried about warhammer 40k by cavil. Mostly cause its actually not being rushed and it feels like he wants to make it right

[devout lark]

I like Cavill being in charge but for all that people tend to complain about fans not being put in charge, historically, you can often end up with a "not good enough" style situation which becomes a massive money sink.

And for all his advantages, I don't think he's got a serious track record either way for being a competent producer/director.

[ornate ledge]

Yeah, I get that. I think while being a big fan of something means you probably have the passion to get it right it doesn't always mean you have the talent or freedom to do so.

That being said, Cavil is not going to be the director.

[devout lark]

I'd imagine they'll have separate directors for each episode like most shows do?

[ornate ledge]

He is the producer and I think it has been said that he will start in it as a side character but idk where I heard that.

[devout lark]

I'd imagine he'd be the broad showrunner.

[ornate ledge]

Probably but he has said that he wants to make shows and movies.

So movies will eventually also be in the table.

Imo they should have started with a movie but oh well.

[devout lark]

If you're contracted to a streaming company it probably matters less.

Because amazon would probably want it on streaming really quickly anyways.

[ornate ledge]

True.

[devout lark]

Its also not helped by the fact, that as our discussion just showed, there's no real obvious storyline to tell.

Which is usually a big advantage in practical terms for most adaptations.

[ornate ledge]

True though I think in this case that is actually an advantage if they go the same route that the Fallout show did where they just construct a narrative that gets to show you the most important parts of its setting. This is also great for introducing new people. There really aren't many Warhammer stories that exist that I would confidently say are new people friendly and provide a good view of the universe.

[devout lark]

I think fallout is greatly helped by being extremely gamey and inherently comedy based. You can do a lot with that.

Funny enough I think old warhammer would be easily adapted in comparison.

[ornate ledge]

warhammer originally was as well

[devout lark]

Yeah exactly.

But i really doubt they wanna go for that vibe anymore.

GW seems to have strongly pivoted away from that since G man came back and the heresy got going.

[ornate ledge]

Yeah they are a lot more focused on more serious stuff that has cool action and stuff, for better and worse.

[devout lark]

It's also just a hard vibe to sustain a cinematic universe on too.

Fallout is moreso a one and done type deal from what I know?

[ornate ledge]

I love that the lore as a whole is a lot more consistent overall and I love some of the character writing that has come from the more serious tone, but also something has been lost with the playing straight of what was once satire.

[devout lark]

Rather than getting tons of spinoffs and whatnot.

[devout lark]

That's why they're pivoting away slowly from even the grimdark itself in a large part.

[ornate ledge]

Hard to say. Anything popular can get spun off until it hits rock bottom these days.

[devout lark]

At least it seems like they haven't planned for it.

[ornate ledge]

I think the thing I would be the most worried for is that it will be successful but it will then go too fast and burn itself out and end up in mid to bad land before long.

But the current stuff seems to be taking its time which is good.

[devout lark]

Honestly it's kinda wild that studios keep trying to make cinematic universes. Making a cinematic universe from the bottom up has worked exactly once so far.

[ornate ledge]

Yeah, though to be fair I think most have given up on copying Marvel exactly, now it is a little less ambitious and is instead just milking an IP until money stops coming out.

[carmine vapor]

Orks tho

[ornate ledge]

Yes. I need to see the boys on the screen.

[carmine vapor]

Plenty of comedy in and around da boys and da shootas and more dakka

[ornate ledge]

If this show is not afraid to show Orks in all their glory then we will know it is good.

I think if you can nail the Orks fitting into the same world as the Imperium then you have good Warhammer.

[devout lark]

It mostly depends? I think most cinematic universe attempts are still trying to be very Marvel.

Hell, marvel is trying to be marvel again.

[carmine vapor]

If you can fit death guard, chaos daemons, nids, imperium and orks into the same setting on a TV show and make it work then solid 40k adaptation

[ornate ledge]

Other then DC I don't think anyone is really trying to start that kind of Universe where it builds up to big events though.

The only ones left standing are Marvel (sort of), and the Monsterverse.

And I know the Monsterverse is not a Paragon of quality or anything but it is really funny that they are still going.

[devout lark]

Are you forgetting the Sony spiderless verse.

They are... Somehow, still alive.

[ornate ledge]

No that is pretty firmly dead after Kraven.

[devout lark]

And were trying to build to something.

[ornate ledge]

No more are announced as of now.

[devout lark]

Oh, that's fair.

I was moreso thinking that they haven't officially killed it yet.

[ornate ledge]

They should have been dead after Morbius but they somehow still spat out Madam Web and Kraven, but they are dead now.

[devout lark]

Star wars kinda has two separate petering attempts.

The filoniverse and high republic.

[ornate ledge]

Technically so long as Spiderman exists in the MCU I don't think Sony will strop trying to cash in on it but hopefully the SPUMC is dead.

[devout lark]

They should make a crossover movie.

[ornate ledge]

You see I would say that is a different kind of thing than Marvel.

I will explain.

[devout lark]

Very menacing.

I feel like that's a line the bad guy drops in an action movie intro scene before just shooting the person.

[ornate ledge]

You see, Marvel is trying to make all of their movies work together to make one long story. That is what I would consider the traditional idea of a Cinematic Universe, and is what most of them have tried to be. But Star Wars was made as individual stories first then started to spin off after the fact. Star Wars is what I would consider a connected setting more than a connected narrative. While yes the Mandolorian and it's homunculi were/sort of still are building to something, they are ultimately side plots to the main plot of Star wars which is the numbered movies. All Star Wars side content ultimately exists to expand on concepts from the numbered movies first and foremost rather than making their own contributions that are at the same caliber of importance.

Anyway sorry for the textblock

In that very specific way I want Warhammer to be more like Star Wars than the MCU.

[devout lark]

It's a bit different, I'd say.

I'm specifically talking about the filoniverse and kinda high republic.

High republic isn't really a cinematic universe, I guess, because it never got to the cinemas.

But it was definitely made up to be a series of stories from the ground up leading to a big crossover/joining storyline.

The filoniverse is definitely intended to lead into something now.

They're separate enclaves within star wars, but they're intentionally built a certain way to lead into something.

High republic in particular pretty much tries to be as far away from the numbered movies and Filoni is trying to sorta sneak around the movies and focus on his own cast of characters.

For warhammer you can't really do any of this.

If you try to go for enclaves you don't have the movies to somewhat fall back on.

[ornate ledge]

I guess my point is that Warhammer shouldn't try to make the show the definitive representation of the universe, and I think that adapting a book is the surest way to try and fail at that.

Anyway. It's 1 AM here so I'm out.

[devout lark]

That's definitely fair to some extent. All boils down to marketability i guess. Because I think for the audience they're trying to bring in, people who don't like warhammer yet, a definitive representation would work best.

[devout lark]

Good night!

I find it funny that the good example here is over 20 years old

[pastel snow]

I missed the mega Henry’s TV show convo yesterday but this is what I expect

Henry is adapting Eisenhorn as the first 40k show. This has been heavily implied dozens and dozens of times by both Henry and GW people in an “elbow elbow you know you know eyebrow wiggle” way

The Heresy will get a show later and will likely follow the condensed “8 book necessary series” reprint of the Heresy that GW posted earlier in December

[exotic hollow]

Definitely feel Eisenhorn is the way to go

Also part of me wants to point out that there's actually been several Warhammer shows on Warhammer+ or Warhammer TV or whatever their exclusive streaming platform is

And I want to say those don't really count but also, we don't actually know if the Henry show will be exclusive to that platform too, and if so, then either those count as the first shows or the henry show doesn't count as a show

[pastel snow]

Henry says his show is going on Prime

What I’m hoping for is Astartes 2 also gets put on Prime later because I ain’t giving GeeDub a red penny on that platform of theirs
-# pennies don’t exist anymore :p

[pastel snow]

Also Amazon made a post too that they will host a 40k show on Prime after Season 1 Secret Level basically became, “ The 40K episode… and 14 other bonus episodes”
I need to find that API tracker again, last I checked the 40k episode has a whole ass extra Zero on the end of its view count compared to all the others

[winter aspen]

Ciaphas Cain sitcom when?

[west cairn]

oh yeah Age of Sigmar is getting a secret level type episode as well according to a recent investor thing from GW

hoping that da rats make an appearance

[ornate ledge]

Id assume it will be heavily connected to the most recent expansion so expect it to be Stormcast v Rats.

[west cairn]

I'm not sure if it'll be coming out during this expansion

idk where it is in production or if it's tied to another season of secret level

[pastel snow]

It’s on the table, secret level had an episode dedicated to D&D, not BG3, so it doesn’t need a video game to qualify

[ornate ledge]

Im not sure either, they just said they are finishing it up in the financial statement.

But the latest AoS edition just came out last year so as long as it comes out nxt year or the year after they should still be in this edition.

[pastel snow]

@plush moth , if you wish for more, see the following:

the secret level episode was created by 1 silly little fan dude back in the day who decided “I will make a cinematic lore accurate 40k video all by myself”

It made a bajillion views, but GW took it down because it got too popular. But in compensation they hired him on the spot and occasionally they let him out of their basement

Thankfully fans copied and uploaded so many Re-uploads that GW just gave up taking them down. Enjoy

-# also lore bit: The space marines in both Astartes and Secret Level are talking. You the observer just can’t hear them because their helmets have perfect sound sealant, so only someone else with a radio helmet hears them. That’s intentional because it’s freaky seeing 8 foot tall tank man silently gliding around

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXEYksoE6c&pp=ygUTYXN0YXJ0ZXMgZnVsbCBtb3ZpZQ%3D%3D

[ornate ledge]

I know it is very possible it is just a weird writing concession but I actually really like it when 40k books describe Space Marines seeing something insane and being like "they couldn't feel fear but..." because I just see it as that being the denial that the Space Marine is feeling where they are like "I was told I couldn't feel fear so whatever I am feeling right now couldn't possibly be fear even though it is the most horrific thing I have ever seen."

[plush moth]

Oh that's where this is from:

I genuinely cannot tell if that's her foot or a foot-shaped boot 😅 I suppose those... two darker pixels are the gaps between her toes?

ooh, okay, that's much clearer

[royal stone]

Beautiful new Vyper sculpt

For context this is the current model

[coral abyss]

That sure is a glowup

[royal stone]

Which has been sold since 1997

There's also a bunch of pirate stuff

[west cairn]

woah the red corsair release as a xenos

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/1qeqn4c/new_year_preview_huron_blackheart_masters_of_the/

it's a "Tarellian Dog Soldier"

and a "Juvenile Bhargesi"

the dog soldier is the crocodile looking thing

[royal stone]

More pirates!

[royal stone]

Currently these are the only Corsairs and both are technically the same kit

So more pirates including the return of Prince Yriel who is an important character is very good

[west cairn]

the sculptor who gave this guy a bandana understood the assignment

[muted turtle]

oh wow those Custodes look awesome

[carmine vapor]

Any other good reveals so far today

[muted turtle]

Plastic Custodes dreadnoughts and tanks

[carmine vapor]

Just tuned in and these Custodies are hh Custodies and not 40k ones ?

[royal stone]

Almost certainly they'll also be in 40k since Custodes were originally a 30k army

[carmine vapor]

Okay so these models will probs be used in both ?

[royal stone]

And while I haven't seen the new models if they're replacing the current resin tanks and Dreadnaughts, those are also in both games

[royal stone]

Also scroll up to see PIRATE ELVES

[deft dragon]

ooh, did Yriel have a model before?

[west cairn]

I thought 30k was a different scale to 40k

[muted turtle]

you can definetly just proxy them

[royal stone]

He had an old resin model that got Legends

[carmine vapor]

I dont care that much about pirate elves sorry

[muted turtle]

also so glad i waited for this because those are plastic Venatari, i wanted to get some of those

[carmine vapor]

Elves are still too humie for me

[deft dragon]

I have an unpainted box of pirate elves 😔 I suppose they're now outdated

[royal stone]

Well which pirate elves do you have?

[royal stone]

https://tenor.com/view/john-krasinski-oh-no-shame-on-you-nah-fail-gif-15679323

[carmine vapor]

I dont have pirate elves

[royal stone]

That was to Rasaar

[carmine vapor]

I kno

Lol

[royal stone]

However you should own pirate elves because they are fricking sick

[carmine vapor]

I would rather own some big bugs

[royal stone]

Yeah that's this kit and is not being replaced

It's only like 3 years old and is the normal Corsair infantry while these new models are characters, elite infantry, and a vehicle

[deft dragon]

i see i see

[burnt widget]

Drukhari: am I a joke to you

[royal stone]

Corsairs are cool since they get to use a mix of Craftworld psychic stuff and Drukhari insanity in their weapons

Anyway though I really want a Corsair box but can't find any

I'm gonna slam this new Vyper kit because it looks so good

[muted turtle]

BY HIS WILL ALONE

[deft dragon]

oh damn, that dreadnaught looks awesome

[royal stone]

The jetpack Corsairs are also based on this old resin upgrade kit from like 20 years ago

[royal stone]

Yo the updated Custodian Guard are sick

[muted turtle]

so glad about that, they basically made all the worthwile forgeworld stuff plastic now

[deft dragon]

i hope that dreadnaught is available solo, I'd put that on my shelf

(she says, with a pile of unpainted models...)

[burnt widget]

Yoooooo

That’s a lot of wyches

[royal stone]

I'm still waiting on Drukhari refresh before I jump into edgy elves

[deft dragon]

The font for Maelstrom looks like it's a pirate romance novel

[muted turtle]

god i hope the Custodes box isnt too expensive

or that i can get some stuff in there seperately, dont really need another tank

[royal stone]

New AoS stuff too

[deft dragon]

dope

[muted turtle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZyCmcrIIPw

[deft dragon]

Perturabo coming back?

[muted turtle]

definetly something Iron Warriors

[pastel snow]

Oh that’s Peter all right!

Peter’s current formis described as:
“To survive his turbo Primarch-Grade killing cancer Fulgrim gave him in Angle Exterminatus, Peter has become a half flesh/half tech Demon Primarch Dreadnaught”

And that’s very much some fleshy bits in that first shot of the power claw

[west cairn]

The Bone Rider

[muted turtle]

i think it might be multiple models since this shot shows a gun and a powerpack, while others show two different claws

[west cairn]

That looks like a nonprimarch to me

I would guess he comes with some legionaire models

[muted turtle]

maybe some tech marines or otherwise tech focused marines

[pastel snow]

If this isn’t a full range for an IW codex, at the very minimum Peter would still deserve some IW marine mini’s to go with him

[deft dragon]

lmao, Warhammer Community released an extra article explaining that some of the new Custodes models have feminine head sculpts

[muted turtle]

[west cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/snip-snap-the-office-gif-23350032

[deft dragon]

and the final question of the Q&A:

[west cairn]

Are they going to stick with the femstodes this time I wonder?

[royal stone]

Glad they're not backpedaling on that

[deft dragon]

i mean, i think it's neat

funnily enough, the writers for the Horus Heresy books talked about how they always wanted to have a mix of men and women for the Custodes but GW initially forbade it cause they only made plastic models with masculine head sculpts

[west cairn]

I thought they decanonized it after the initial codex reveal or something

[deft dragon]

so if anything, this is less a retcon and more returning the canon to its intended state

[muted turtle]

pretty sure if you can crawl you'd be too old to become a Custodes

they get taken young

[muted turtle]

i never saw or heard any statement like that, and there is that one Tithes episode with the femstodes

which is the first and only animated Custodes so far

[royal stone]

I think they just decided to not mention it again for a while after the backlash

[deft dragon]

i mean, given they put one in animation, i'm not sure if i'd say they decided not to mention it

[royal stone]

Ah I don't know anything about the animations since I won't buy Warhammer+ lol

[deft dragon]

but sheesh, that shield captain model is gorgeous

https://assets.warhammer-community.com/image6-6-u7wp04o8ym.jpg

[royal stone]

I know there's at least one Aeldari one in there but I ain't buying that

Now they just need the Sisters of Silence to get updated or additional models

[muted turtle]

i basically just bought the other one for basically only display purposes, should i really get another one for the same reason??

easy yes when its not your money Ander

im definetly getting Venatari and the Dreadnought though, i wanted those since i started but forgeworld is just too expensive

[royal stone]

I mean I want to buy more Swooping Hawks mostly so I can paint them as more types of colorful birds

[pastel snow]

They basically were for 2 years now, so I guess they deemed it’s long enough to try again

[deft dragon]

I can't really see how they were basically decanonized when we had femstodes like... present in lore

[pastel snow]

So basically timeline is this:
10th edition Banana codex and The tythes episode 2 come out, femstodes exist

It is proceeded by one of the most in the red business quarters for 40k in a long time. AoS was doing a lot of heavy lifting

Basically any custods book was put on hold

The official guide came out, back to calling Custodes only men again

Costodes book Era of Ruin comes out, summary of Custodes is only men again

12 Custodes minis have come out in these 2 years, all male helmetless options

Tactics game had an update about Custodes, all men

4 massive Custodes joy toys, all men again

Guilliman vs Silent king book comes out. Has like 8 Custodes characters, all men agian

And now we are present day 2 years later where we Finally have a femstodes mini, and a Femstodes character in the scouring book 1 (she only has like 6 lines)

[deft dragon]

🤔

[pastel snow]

So now we sit back and watch the internet implode again

[deft dragon]

I wasn't aware of those events, so fair enough, thought tbh, I genuinely don't believe that Femstodes impacted their sales that much

They would not be doing this again if Femstodes were responsible for putting them in the red

[pastel snow]

This is GW, making sense is not in there vocabulary

[muted turtle]

huh yeah, i noticed that all my models only have male heads, just thought they were older than the femstodes reveal

[pastel snow]

It’s bold though, we’ll see if it sticks this time

[deft dragon]

Still, I legit do not believe that a single reveal about a single army would tank their sales that badly

[pastel snow]

Or if they get turbo banished 2.0

[muted turtle]

i think only Space Marines could manage that and it would need to be really terrible since they got so much other stuff

[west cairn]

Ultimately GW is driven by minis. If they commit to female head sculpts then its sticking around for a while

[pastel snow]

A lot of people also dropped warhammer+

Basically people saw how people cancelled DnD beyond to get their way, and they did it again

In a sour humor kind of way, you can thank the army of chuds for forcing GW to make Astartes 2 because it’s literally a “Please resub!” tactic

[deft dragon]

well, given how they now have Amazon partnership, i feel like w+ isn't gonna be a big factor for much longer

Ciaphas Cain: "I only have room in my life for one dangerous woman"
Amberly Vail, editing: "I choose to take that as a compliment"

[winter aspen]

There aren't yet any Cain books in the time since the 40K meta-plot started advancing and they retconned the 13th black crusade right? The last chronological book is during that period but pre everything happening IRL.

[west cairn]

isn't he nominally dead in the modern timeline?

[pastel snow]

He’d have to be by now unless his gf got some of that exclusive inquisition Rejuvenant™

[west cairn]

I fully expect eventually he'll be moved into the modern era

[winter aspen]

he's dead in the framing-narrative told by Amberly, but I don't think he has an official date of death and he also has oodles of wiggle room and an official "always listed on active duty" exception because he's bee missing-presumed-dead so many times. I think the current timeline has advanced quite a lot though since Roboat's return and I don't think Cain is considered important enough to get all the imperium's life-prolonging treatments, just whatever Amberly slips him. I think it's mentioned that he and Jurgen get some from her at some point, but probably not "live 400 years"

[burnt widget]

Cain is never dead he is still on the active duty roster

[deft dragon]

is there an artist for this? 👀

Is warhammer + worth it

[burnt widget]

do you want the anual mini?

[carmine vapor]

Probs not

Are the app things worth it

Like do I get full access to the offical apps

[ornate ledge]

I'd be in support of getting it for a month to watch all the animations when Astartes II comes out but unless you really like their app for the tabletop probably don't bother with anything else.

[carmine vapor]

What do yall think about this kinda colour scheme I cant decide between the two

[exotic hollow]

I prefer the icy ones

Both are dope though

[carmine vapor]

I just kinda wanna do something relativly cool and relativly unique for my maggotkin

If anyone has other ideas hit me up

[carmine vapor]

The icey ones might be easier as well outside of adding extra spikes

[ornate ledge]

I think the Icy one fits better with Nurgle personally.

[ornate ledge]

I've always loved the idea of nurgle factions with kind of a bloated drowned corpse vibe and making them all underwater themed.

Davy Jones Locker vibes.

[muted turtle]

yeah. i also find the ice ones better

[carmine vapor]

My son agrees

Icy is best

So we are gonna do maggotkin

In ice and bonereapers/skaven in ice

He isnt decided between bonereapers and skaven

[burnt widget]

the blue is also easier to do the contrast in the other one requires clean up if you may a wayward stroke with the bright colors. blue honestly won't notice if your a bit off

https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/94

I know they'd hinted at it but I'm still surprised, Creative Assembly is responsible for so much new stuff in the fantasy setting

unfortunately I don't think that they'll have the same impact on 40k because GW is much more protective of that setting

also this is really good value

I presume the core roster is every unit not added by the Shadows of Change DLC

[exotic hollow]

That is nice

Maybe one day we'll get a Tzeentch character pack

be me, curious what could possibly be going on with Henry’s show
looks into it

Ah! He truly is putting his everything into this show and fighting corporate-stupid writing wherever it is
40k really is his little Blorbo and it will not be mistreated
Fight on Mr. Geralt-Superman!

[carmine vapor]

positive news good news

glad to hear good things still comming out about that

im glad he truly is putting his passion to work. ALSO news that they have finished writing for season one is very nice

means we might even get to watch that season next year?

[ornate ledge]

Can you share the article?

[carmine vapor]

https://i.imgur.com/VBQw990.png
https://i.imgur.com/dfrqA4a.png

[carmine vapor]

found it then opened it in reading mode cause their website is add central

[ornate ledge]

Sounds very cool. I hope that is true.

[carmine vapor]

i do too

it will be really cool if this pops off and then we are getting some warhammer tv show stuff at the same time as cosmere stuff

captialism might be popping off for that one

[deft dragon]

Ngl, this whole "Cavill as the main gatekeeper of lore" is giving me such red flags

Like maybe unfairly so, but when I'm reading about stuff like the three-strikes rule, it makes him sound insufferable to work with

[real marlin]

it doesn't cast him in a good light, yeah

[carmine vapor]

3 strikes rule?

Also why does this give you bad vibes

[burnt widget]

Possibly but i think Cavill has kinda take a mythic role in internet gamer elitist culture wars in a away that means alot of coverage around him may reflect what the writer wants not what is

[real marlin]

i strongly dislike how this sort of slant sets up cavill as The Real Fan, possibly even The Only Real Fan on Set

[half umbra]

I think there's a strong chance that this show goes on to be a valuable lesson about how a 1:1 adaptation isn't necessarily a good adaptation

[burnt widget]

I generally think this will suceeed tbh. It sounds like hes put the effort into learning what he needs to know to make this work

but people may take the wrong message from it

[real marlin]

and that slant informs a LOT of how any conflict in interpretation or direction or smallest bit of writing will turn into "cavill is the true hero trying to stop those stupid evil shills from ruining this" all while framing behaviour on set that you just don't see praised. that's the nicest way to say some bad set behaviour i've seen

[carmine vapor]

I just dont see any of this as saying that. More he put in extra hours on a part of the process he was passionate about. Rather than "i am the only arbitor of truth for the lore and no one can say no to me"

[real marlin]

people who slow down the day on the set, who make a HABIT of slowing down the day on set, is consistently slowing or even stopping the work, and getting into arguments is like... 😬 i don't have any reason to take a shine to that, esp given that this is just repeat behaviour of the witcher

[carmine vapor]

I have 0 context for his behaivour on set at the witcher

[real marlin]

and how framing is the only reason there's this weird little story of "cavill, the real fan heroically defending "the real canon""

that i have no reason to believe

[half umbra]

I'm strongly of the opinion that if my boss is working extra hours, especially if it's because he doesn't trust us to do the work right, something's gone horribly wrong

[carmine vapor]

I never knew untill now that poeple disliked him because of behavior on the witcher

[deft dragon]

It sounds super elitist, and frankly, getting overly attached to maintaining the lore over everything else can be just as bad as dismissing it

Also everything Grey said

[half umbra]

And a 3-strikes rule is generally a great way to either nuke morale, or make sure nobody revises anyone else's work until it's too late to fix it

[real marlin]

like i read that and feel SUPER bad for the people who've worked really hard on this, and if they get into a real disagreement with cavill on something, are going to be excoriated by the internet because they'll assume cavill is in the right

[deft dragon]

Yeppp

[burnt widget]

But is that just the way the author wants it portrayed or what is actually happening.

[deft dragon]

It's building up the narrative that's gonna be covering Cavill's ass whenever something people don't like appears in the show

[carmine vapor]

I have just never seen poeple speaking so poorly about him yet. Like do we even know for reals that he is actually behaving like this

[half umbra]

What I've heard about Cavill on The Witcher sets makes me concerned that he hates adapting works, and only wants to transcribe a work into a new medium

[real marlin]

literally like, this article is enough

[half umbra]

(Also, strictly adhering to the lore of a franchise that plays as fast and loose with the details as 40k sounds like a great way to wind up with a jumbled mess)

[burnt widget]

I mean depends what specifically your adapting. If you’re adapting a specific storyline it’s fine. And as much as 40k is chaotic in the way any franchise with as much stuff as it has you can establish the cannon you want to pull from

Like if you want to do Horus heresy you can just say we use the books as the canon and work from there

Either way the way that article is written sounds like the type of trite ego boosting puff pieces that have become the cadence of ai. I’m skeptical of its description of events

[carmine vapor]

Im just hopeful cause sounds like season ones writing is done

And we might be getting progresssss!!!!

[coral abyss]

I am to some extent too but I think going off the Witcher he was broadly wrong about how he was right. Enormously polarizing on set (the cast, in general, really liked him and the crew, in general, really did not)

I hesitate to say that where the Witcher went vindicated him and his behavior because I get the impression he was a real ass but also The Witcher is sort of a socially complicated piece to adapt and I think the direction the decision-makers wanted to take it was bad

I can absolutely see a world three to five years from now where it turns out he was a real tyrant about this and had impossible standards (particularly for the crew and writers' room) and there was high turnover rate etc

And maybe not. Maybe he's got everyone on the same page. I'd prefer to live in that world, I think. But I do think it does warrant a "hm, I'll file this away for later in case we do start seeing reports of this being a toxic work environment"

[burnt widget]

One other thing the things they list hes making sure are correct are like basic things to get right.

like the color scheme, pronunciation of the main faction, and while cross checking symbols is vague all those seem likely reasonable things to not get wrong

[coral abyss]

My concern is not that he's going to get stuff wrong

My concern is that he's going to be wrong about the way in which he strives to be right

[burnt widget]

My point is the stuff they actually listed as the stuff he was ensuring is correct is very mundane

[muted turtle]

https://youtube.com/shorts/G5yyZaS8Kns?si=CDvQe52OrNVZvIzX

Pretty sure that article is just uninformed clickbait

[muted turtle]

I think that's the main thing the author wanted to achieve with this article and very little of it is actually based on real facts

[muted turtle]

Its also not stuff you have to stay in Office for past midnight for multiple days. Its just supposed to sound like Cavill is super dedicated and gets all these deep details right on a surface level.

[winter aspen]

For my 2p I kinda... Having watched and been sad about both the reception and fate of the Wheel of Time show, but also critical of some of the choices they made, I think that nerds who are hyperfocused on the idea that an exact reproduction of the text on screen is the Only True Way are utterly insufferable, but on the other hand, also compare with The Expanse where some pretty big changes were made but which was on the whole extremely positively received by the fanbase, I think it's important to get the fans on-side and I think, weirdly, getting the little and nuances details right helps with getting people to accept bigger foreground thibgs. It's a difficult thing to know how something will be received and especially terrifying when that thing has a large, terminally online fanbase, parts of which are very toxic.

[exotic hollow]

I think that's a really good way of putting something I've always thought. Sticking to the text is not necessary for a good adaptation, LOTR shows this in abundance. But so long as the changes still have the attention to detail and feeling of the stuff that's closer to the text is there, it's fine

My wider thesis is that errr so long as its good at being the thing is, who cares how close it is to the source material but I'm bad at explaining that without just going "Hey do what LOTR did"

[ornate ledge]

I like how before all of this all anyone was saying was that Amazon was gonna get it all wrong, but when something comes out saying that Cavil is going to try to make sure it is lore accurate everybody switches to, it's gonna be too faithful.

I personally do think that the issue with this show was always going to be that it is too obsessed with getting everything exactly correct, I simply do not believe GW would let another company mess with their IP if it was not going to be intently guarded.

That being said, the difference between this and an adaptation of a book is that we have so far gotten no indication that it is actually based on a pre-existing book or story, and if it is an original story in the world I would not be worried about the normal adaptation issues, because they can make it for TV first and foremost.

Also this article is almost certainly at very least hyperbolic. I doubt Cavil had a "three-strike rule" otherwise he wouldn't have any writers left because warhammer lore is impossible to get 100%.

[winter aspen]

Half the fun of warhammer lore is that most of it is given via in-universe texts, all of which are unreliable.

[ornate ledge]

Yeah, the unreliability doesn't communicate well on screen unless you make that the point, I imagine.

[royal stone]

I'm starting the audiobook for the one good Tau book and it turns out that its narrated by Minthara's VA, Emma Gregory

She's also one of the excerpt VAs for the Ciaphas Cain books

[deft dragon]

what's the "one good Tau book", out of curiosity?

[ornate ledge]

Elemental Council is the one most people are positive on and I assume the one Ander is meaning.

[summer granite]

A good Tau book? 👀

[ornate ledge]

Elemental Council, so I have been told.

[deft dragon]

[royal stone]

Yeah Elemental Council

Eldar and Tau books tend to suck since the main authors for each like making them lose and giving them stupid lore (respectively), but each has a couple exceptions written by different authors. Eldar have Valedor, which is more of a typical 40k epic battle story but is pretty good, and Voidscarred, which I haven't read but hear is very good

[burnt widget]

Elemental council is good

[west cairn]

Night Lords trilogy is great, I'll cosign that

[carmine vapor]

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/okgv4njl/citadel-colour-is-becoming-warhammer-colour/

i hate this change

it looks so bad

[royal stone]

Citadel is such a cool name

[winter aspen]

macragge blue? Did they forget what they named the smurfs?

what was it again... the name of a colour...?

🤔

ultra something?

[carmine vapor]

idk they arent pushed very hard and i think the playerbase isnt there we might as well remove them

gw might even just remove the whole army soon since no one likes them

[coral abyss]

Ultrablueberry iirc

[winter aspen]

ahthat was it

[carmine vapor]

might even be ultramar ?

[royal stone]

Unfortunately they can't trademark that

[coral abyss]

What do you mean they can't trademark ultrablueberry

[burnt widget]

im farly certain they stopped doing that becuase its an industry term

[winter aspen]

yeah I know

the same dumb reason they changed all the names

if they could get away with it they would retcon the ultramarines to be called the sons of macragge or something

but people would lose their mines

GW lawyers probably bring it up every meeting

[burnt widget]

id prefer if every space marine was named after industry paint standards

[pastel snow]

Ultramarines are, in fact, not ultramarine. That is why GW has to say a different name because they are Cobalt
First is Ultramarine
Second is cobalt

[winter aspen]

lol that's so funny

[pastel snow]

Quite literally GW would get sued by an artist saying “they sold me a false color!” If they full chested said it’s ultramarine

[winter aspen]

tho I'm sure if I dug out my old white dwarfs they would be telling me to paint it ultramarine blue

mostly tho I just like to mock GW and their semi-recent "rename everything so it can be trademarked" silliness

[burnt widget]

yeah they did the ours is named ultrsmarine blue even if its not ultramarine

[winter aspen]

though since I'm OLD now that means "in the last decade or so"

[royal stone]

Wait lol that's so much funnier

So they're named after a color instead of being like Ultra Marines like the name initially sounded like to me, and they got their home territory named after them so that in-lore they're called Ultramarines because they're from Ultramar, and they weren't actually ultramarine to begin with

[royal stone]

While there are several examples of this that I think are stupid (like T'au and most of Age of Sigmar's renaming), I do generally like the paint names

[carmine vapor]

Daemons gets me every time

thats the one that pisses me off

causelike why not just call them demons

[royal stone]

There's a few that are still weird (Screamer Pink when Screamers are mostly blue, Biel-Tan Green is a green wash but the actual craftworld is mostly white and not green, Balthasar Gold while named after the best Warhammer Fantasy character is actually a copper color) but overall I like them

[royal stone]

Daemons is a legitimate archaic spelling of demons and they've been using that spelling the entire time, much longer than all those trademark renamings

[carmine vapor]

oh yeah i know that exists

it just is another gw names things odd thing for me that catches me every time i say demons

[royal stone]

I also think that one is cool even though it trips me up too

[winter aspen]

Aeldari irks me

[summer granite]

I like Aeldari

T'au having the useless apostrophe tho

[royal stone]

I still usually call them Eldar but since that's also a Tolkien term I get why they changed it. Aeldari sounds pretty cool anyway

[summer granite]

It has just the right amount of alien in it

[coral abyss]

Ultrabluebaerry

[royal stone]

They also got a really cool paint named after the new term

I used for the wings on Peacock Lord and its fantastic

[carmine vapor]

So mabey there is a good reason they changed it

[royal stone]

I need to figure out other things to use this color on. Maybe Corsairs if I ever get some

[carmine vapor]

From my flgs

Found the YouTube vid version

love the choice of colours

Yeah I think he did a good job. I personally would have had more colors on each model but I'm uh. A little overboard on my color schemes

[carmine vapor]

i hate the constant greens that everyone does ill give you pics of my current plaguebearers

so you can show him my stuff

(i didnt paint it tho my partner did )

[royal stone]

[carmine vapor]

added some pics of my sons rats in too

we still need a bunch of detailing work on my plaguebearers and bases and stuff but this is the vibe we are going for

[royal stone]

Power Rangers Daemons lol

They look sick

legit thats what ppl keep saying

[royal stone]

I love the ratling gun too because that is one of the greatest unit designs in all Warhammers

[carmine vapor]

my son loves the rats, he is currently working on painting a unit of those and about 80 clan rats

and we are hoping that the rumors of a cities x eshin skaven spearhead are true

you should tell your brother that from a nurgle enjoyer i his detailing and some of the effects hes put on

[royal stone]

Language warning

[muted turtle]

honestly not too far off from what actually happened

[ornate ledge]

Yeah, pretty much correct.

[west cairn]

wait they brought him back?

[pastel snow]

See here

[west cairn]

oh I thought that was a "we have a new model, he's still dead in lore" type thing

[pastel snow]

The “he’s dead” skull is in the promotional material. And lore of how he’s back will be later they say

People are joking in the speaker in the video pissed off his soul so much he willed himself back to life just to kill him

[ornate ledge]

Lol. I never really thought they would leave him dead honestly.

[winter aspen]

smh where's Cain someone to drag Cain out from whereever he's hiding when the Imperium needs him?

[burnt widget]

I think it would be funny if Cain was just found in Amberly Vails closet

Mfers been hiding away from office duty

[winter aspen]

"It was in the final days of the 41st millennium when I faced my greatest and most horrifying challenge to date: trying to convince myself that I'm cowardly enough to let everyone continue to think I was dead and stay on this nice vacation world while people I care about are in danger."

[burnt widget]

If they bring back Cain I’d want it one of two ways

• a one off joke that never gets addressed

• he gets brought back as some sort of celestial

[winter aspen]

I think it's reasonable for him to be active during early M42, his latest chronological appearance is during the 13th black crusade, before it was retconned so there is still room for him to be active/react to some of the more current canon even without shenanigans

though I do think it would be very funny for him to be brought back by the strength of his reputation as the most begrudging imposter syndrome having living saint in the galaxy

[burnt widget]

Even funnier they should do a guardsman book with another imposter and he has mental conversations with an idolized version of Cain. Turns out it’s actually Cain and he’s still just as much of the same guy.

Maybe a result of some psychic event or necron definitely not magic

Two mental failures with secret courage helping each other

[carmine vapor]

This is the canon reason in my head

[royal stone]

When they go up for sale I'll have to see if I can help my brother get one

He already wanted a defiler with the old model and rules and even more so now

[muted turtle]

ill definetly try and get one, it looks too cool not to get

[pastel snow]

Oh boy, some pretty reliable leak sources are saying AoS has pretty much plummeted in sales in the last 9 months to basically nothing , and GW is going to whip out End Times 2 pretty soon if things can’t turn around

It will be called The Last World

If anything, at least it will be funni watching all The-Content™

[royal stone]

I've heard of some of this but also that the leaks aren't that reliable, so I guess we'll have to see

At the very least the fact that AoS got stuff like new models for several factions a couple months ago and had an entire new faction release last year makes it sound like it's doing okay

[coral abyss]

And a new edition of the TTRPG not that long ago I believe

After like a decade+ without

[burnt widget]

If aos is dead id be shocked its like top 3 selling wargames

[coral abyss]

On the other hand, anything less than 40k might be Almost Dead

Which is ridiculous but also the world we live in

[burnt widget]

The only reason I could see is if they wanted to optimize their profits by reducing upfront costs for shareholders

GW is one of the better performing British stocks if I recall

[coral abyss]

I mean sure but also sometimes good is not Enough

[carmine vapor]

OKAY so

that person just dissapeard off the internet after leaking some stuff for a long time

one of their leaks recently was fake given them by gw to route out the leaks

so dont trust anything right now about aos

may have even been that leak

[burnt widget]

I was understating it I’m fairly certain they were top 10 in terms of growth. I know they were number 1 a few years back

[coral abyss]

Yeah sometimes that doesn't matter though

Entertainment companies in particular have a habit of picking up investors and executives for whom the good is the enemy of the perfect

[carmine vapor]

okay but heres the thing, because 40k is going gang busters and boosting gw stock so much over the last few years

it matters less and less that aos sells less than 40k

and aos is still like 3rd i think it goes 40k>battletech>aos>haloflashpoint>marvelcrisis

aos is still very profitable

and number is going up and so is the rate of number going up so the suits will eb happy

[west cairn]

GW ultimately makes almost all their decisions based on how they are selling models, with exceptions only happening when there's stuff like the Amazon show or Space Marine II

their last edition box underperformed in terms of sales

if they actually go through with the leaks, it'll be because of that

and it would not be an end of AoS, it would be 5th edition

[ornate ledge]

AoS has by far GW's best looking kits, I would be baffled if it was doing poorly.

[burnt widget]

I mean yes but also you underestimate humanity

[west cairn]

4th edition was the first time they has a box that didn't feature a new faction and it also was close to the Old World (the Skaven are also playable in TOW so GW might be doing some funky accounting there depending on how model sales are attributed)

[burnt widget]

People would rather buy slightly different space marine then something that genuinely looks good

[west cairn]

Chaos Dwarfs were also released but again Chorfs are technically playable in TOW so idk how their model sales count either in GW's mind

GW is very big into the idea that their studios compete against each other and I feel like TOW and AOS are cannibalizing each other in a way that 40k and 30k don't

what doesn't make sense is the leaks imply that AOS is going to become more like TOW as a setting when I would expect GW to want more differentiation

and according to those leaks it's getting it's own versions of Cathay, Nippon, and Brettonia

[burnt widget]

I’d imagine is they want them to use the same models and have rules for both

[west cairn]

\they would not want that, GW tries very hard to differentiate them

it's the whole reason Beastmen aren't playable in AOS anymore

[burnt widget]

Yes but if they are making a change that would be the policy i see them being urged to switch

[west cairn]

I guess anything is possible but that seems uncharacteristically proconsumer of them

[burnt widget]

It’s not it encourages aos players to buy old world kits

[west cairn]

Thats more pro consumer than their current position which is "buy an aos army and a tow army if you want to play both games"

[carmine vapor]

Theres evidence that those leaks like i said above aren't true

For a while the guy was credible and leaking things accuratly

But just removed themselves and said bye they found me basicly

[west cairn]

At least some of what he said is totally believable

Like slaanesh being freed is a certainty and poor performance in 4th Ed would make it a very likely plot point for 5th Ed

[carmine vapor]

Sure some of its totally believable

[ornate ledge]

GW just finished violently murdering that concept. The last blow was struck against the poor beastmen.

[burnt widget]

I really don’t know how I feel about removing objective markers

[west cairn]

I believe its now just the AoS system?

[royal stone]

Yeah they're keeping objectives, just adding other forms of primary point scoring based on your army and also making the objectives more variable than just circles

[carmine vapor]

There will still be objective markers they will just be actual terrain and not circular

[burnt widget]

Yeah that’s the part I don’t like

The standardization of the markers was a big boon

[west cairn]

I imagine it will still be standardized

[carmine vapor]

Of course this had to come out asap

I just want someone to make a full series of these actual models and display them.

All these meme models

[burnt widget]

What they will do is use this as an excuse to create new purchasable terrain that your supposed to buy. But all this will amount to is cardbourd cutouts and slightly different shapes whcihc iwll be annoying

[burnt widget]

The issue is that often leads to congrats you get X amount of points for being x faction. Since many times the faction objectives can be made borderline gaurenteed

I much prefer when every faction knows what they are trying to complete and take away it leads to less asymetric match ups

Like X faction can stop Y faction's special objective but Z can't so they end up in a deadlock in the meta

[ornate ledge]

I mean, no circular objective is somewhat interesting, but not something anyone really asked for.

I am curious about the changing objectives because 9th had that and it didn't really work.

I am also curious if it changes your primary, secondary, or both, because I would like for tactical secondaries to remain the norm.

[west cairn]

Sure, you can make your own terrain though

[carmine vapor]

I just hope it means there will be more interesting faction based terrain features that are actually good

Like if death guard get to use this thing

[ornate ledge]

Some AoS style terrain could be cool if they want to really lean into the importance of terrain.

[carmine vapor]

Agreed

Aos does such a good job of making terrain relevent good looking and mechanically interesting

[ornate ledge]

Could also be a good way to get away from the L shaped ruins that I see some people annoyed by.

Im not personally all that annoyed by them, because I usually just play casual games and use whatever terrain is available.

[carmine vapor]

They do seem to be pushing for parity at all levels of play as a core goal of this upcoming edition tho

It will be interesting to see how they try to pull it off

[ornate ledge]

But having said that, having a terrain imbalance can really mess with the balance of a game so I can understand why tourneys stick to the Ls.

(Yes I know they are anti-psyker but that doesn't really make them much better)

[burnt widget]

For balance reasons no.

[muted turtle]

they should also be better anti-psykers than just getting a feel no pain

New art of Daemon Perturabo!

His model is gonna be freaking cool

Peter!!!!

Much like how sufficiently high enough science is indistinguishable from magic, a big enough Dreadnaught suit is indistinguishable from a large knight/smol titan

"greatest siege in history" you already did that, they wrote like 7 books about it

[ornate ledge]

Well he quit halfway through last time. Now I assume he is trying to finish what he started.

He has to earn back the credit he lost when he threw a tantrum and left.

[pastel snow]

People have pretty much instantly started calling Peter “Techno Elden Ring Godrick” 😭 I’m seeing it everywhere

[ornate ledge]

Huh

Mr Peter Turbo himself!?

Homeboy here needs more stripes

[deft dragon]

holy hell he's big

[muted turtle]

tbf so are all the Chaos Primarchs

[deft dragon]

fair, it's just... seeing him behind all those tiny space marines

he feels huge even compared to his brothers

[pastel snow]

Peter’s hammer is literally 3 space marines big

[ornate ledge]

I think based entirely on art he is actually a little smaller than Angron.

[pastel snow]

GW in the past said he is in a Primarch sized Dreadnaught suit powered by his deamon energy so he can keep living despite the TURBO CANCER Fulgrim gave him

GW delivered what the size of of a Primarch Dreadnaught suit looks like

[ornate ledge]

Depending on which art we are considering that is.

[pastel snow]

I only hope they do justice with Peter’s book. The bar is so low after the Fulgrim book, it’s at the bottom of a mineshaft

[winter aspen]

Oof

[ornate ledge]

It won't be good. It can't be. It is a chaos primarch book. The most you can hope for is a good main protagonist because Peter won't be the protagonist.

[pastel snow]

You see GW does recognize unofficial holidays!!! Genius plans indeed!!!

info on detachments and building in 11th

also info on one of the iron warriors detachemnts https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/z4ippqsy/eye-of-terror-detachments-knights-and-warp-portals-galore/

[royal stone]

These all seem fun

Enhancements for regular units too like they've done for a few of the new detachments like the Corsair ones

[muted turtle]

am i reading this right that now two characters can be attached to any unit and they dont need a special rule on their spreadsheet for that?

[royal stone]

Yeah as long as you have a leader and a support character for the same unit

[muted turtle]

crazy, hopefully it makes some fun combos

[royal stone]

Technically this is already a combo that exists in several armies (Imperial Guard, Space Marines, and Death Guard in particular) they're just streamlining the rules

[ornate ledge]

Im really excited for the new disposition rules.

[carmine vapor]

I really need to see some more detachments

[ornate ledge]

At very least to see what the costs for our current detachments are going to be.
