@sage matrix any Orks?
sage matrix
@glad mirage not yet, I’m waiting for the ghazskull model to go into a separate box so I don’t have to buy the full set
But I’ve got the indomitus box to start painting 🤣
dusk osprey
Post your bladeguard ancients when they're done
I'm deeply in love with those models
dusk osprey
Dark angels would fit the aesthetic. Blood angels would be cool too
sage matrix
I’m actually thinking about a home brew chapter
I call em the Achaean Marines
I’m part Greek and I love Ancient Greek history; so I’m getting hoplite helmets for the models
Giving them a bronze spartan aesthetic
dusk osprey
Dude, huge potential for bladeguard to look awesome with that aesthetic
proper harbor
what do you plan on callign this chapter
sage matrix
I’m planning on calling them the Achaean Marines
proper harbor
what purpose are they for or is it another chapter jsut for war
sage matrix
Well basing them off of the Spartans from Ancient Greece I’m planning on making them an elite fighting force used for holding the line
dusk osprey
Dorn successors?
sage matrix
Much like the Spartans did in the battle of Thermopylae against the Persians
proper harbor
prolly incorporate heavy machien guns
warm dust
machine guns would make sense cuz 40k but a spartan would much rather fight with his hands
sage matrix
Yeah my point exactly
warm dust
invent a new weapon
dusk osprey
Power spears
sage matrix
Probably going spears
warm dust
plasma hilt
proper harbor
make plasma sheilds like from half life alyx
warm dust
can project a spear, a sword, or a spear gun tytpe thing from the same hilt
all while holding their shield in the other hand
sage matrix
But to be fair custodes are also great for models to base off of
warm dust
boom gg
warm dust
same
sage matrix
Yeah it’s a struggle
Had to pause on my hobby addiction just to get the pc I have now
proper harbor
this is cool though because it is a shooter which we havent really gotten before in this genre
sage matrix
Right!?
proper harbor
this is a great universe and im surprised there were no other shooter games
sage matrix
Plus there are very few games the do 40k any justice
proper harbor
who would want to play a card game when they can jsut actually play it
sage matrix
Spacehulk deathwing tried to and it had amazing atmosphere, but gameplay fell through
And from what I saw with darktide the pox walkers look extremely freaky
proper harbor
yea but I want something different
sage matrix
Yeah
If they can keep the same vein of combat from the verm games and add a bit more repeatable content and really push for customization that works for the universe, it would rock
warm dust
well I wouldnt call it a shooter
proper harbor
I would like a combination of doom and l4d
warm dust
im gonna assume its like VT2 where you could just shoot the whole time if you wanted too
depending on what you were using
but also tha might just get you killed if a certain mobsspawn
proper harbor
what comes to mind is alein swarm by vavle
sage matrix
^
proper harbor
I liked objective based wave survival
sage matrix
One thing I don’t like about verm is the lack of customization
warm dust
i can agreee
sage matrix
Like yeah there are a few helmets but honestly nothing crazy or special
gilded anchor
vermintide customization was just, five different hats and color palette swaps for armor
proper harbor
Im still confused which genre it is gonna be though so hopefully we get that soon
warm dust
omg i HATED slayer shit and thats all i played
sage matrix
Yeah, either way I’m excited for a new 40k FPS
I hope to see dead or even brief glimpses of astartes throughout the game
I’m glad we don’t play em since it makes things a bit more freaky
grizzled stump
yeah it a nice take that doesn't get shown much in 40k games
proud gorge
Astartes are just overdone at this point too so yeah
also not being a space marine certainly keeps things a little more grounded
sage matrix
ye
fiery blade
Space Marine is still really fun. I played some of it two or three days ago
shame they never got to do their trilogy
tired wasp
1st model ever vs my most recent one.
tired wasp
see when i started i had heard of the concept of thinning your paints i just didn't understand the exact ratio of water to paint
also i had very shaky hands
@dusk osprey still better than grey plastic 👍
dusk osprey
You're godamn right. I've considered drowning him in simple green several times, but I think it's best to keep a few bad models as a reminder of how far you've come.
tired wasp
i keep my first mini so that i can show people that i didn't start good at painting
a lot of people get intimidated by mini painting
dusk osprey
Indeed. I see a lot of people not paint their armies because they're afraid they'll do a bad job.
mental parrot
I thought i was a god when i applied that transfer. Took a good few years off but I’ve been pretty heavily into painting the last 3 years.
dusk osprey
@gilded anchor material was resin as opposed to plastic, made it kinda annoying to work with
Better image
sacred socket
Hella Dope!
sacred socket
Still looks sick. Mad props
dusk osprey
Indeed. This is literally the first actually painted riptide I've seen in months LOL
gilded anchor
@dusk osprey I like it! Could definitely be worse
ebon perch
I brought the riptide when apocalypse came out
so this one only took like
9 months? to paint
tired wasp
i have a chaos knight that's been collecting dust on my shelf half-painted for over a year
vagrant aurora
Dredd that I painted a while ago.
proper harbor
Some imperial guard I painted recently, I’m still somewhat new to the hobby and I’m looking for suggestions
vagrant aurora
Looking pretty good mate
Part of me wants to paint up something in a Manga style.
Really monochromatic, with a hint of colour.
sage matrix
Today’s the day!!!!
hasty sorrel
@proper harbor looks good, although i'd recommend a wash then a highlight on the metals
would give it a bit more of a grimmy used look
proper harbor
I also did Ulrik The Sayer to go with my space wolves company which I’m most proud of. I was surprised I pulled this off because I’ve only been doing Warhammer for a couple months
proper harbor
I was a bit sad with how he axe turned out, I went overkill with the highlighting
I also didn’t have any black paint and used my brother’s furniture paint to do a base coat
Turned out nice though
dusk osprey
Chaplain weapons are called a "Crozius Arcanum" for some reason. Regardless, I think if you evened out the highlight it would look pretty sick.
proper harbor
I’m have big sad because I don’t know anyone that plays Warhammer nearby so I’ve only played once with my dad. I think I just might enter a tournament at the gw store a couple miles away
dusk osprey
I'll warn you: Tourney play isn't very fun
There's usually casual leagues at most LGS's
those are a lot better, imo
vagrant jasper
Any D&D (forgotten realms) fans here? I just started reading some of the lore (the blood war between devils and demons) and everything about it fascinates me. It makes you wonder when a company will ever make a game or story about fantasy magic versus sci-fi technology. Personally, I think it would be cool if a collaboration between Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast is created.
lapis tundra
@proper harbor try tabletop simulator
untold jackal
Sparks, Table Top Simulator is perfect for well
Anything physical
I was actually just about to try and find people for Warhammer Underworlds
untold jackal
You find mods that have the units you use.
Honestly if they're not SUPER new or EXTREMLY old models
They'll be on there
proper harbor
Epic, I might have to try that out
untold jackal
THe less sets you've mixed and match, the easier it'll be to find them all across the mods
proper harbor
I bought the new indomintus set
untold jackal
You can highlight the figures and right click save them to spawn them anywhere
untold jackal
this is still the most cursed thing on tts
proper harbor
I mus expando lando
untold jackal
no but seriously you need to get TTS, it's so many good games
proper harbor
Do you think dnd would go good with that?
untold jackal
yeah
you can have physical models for everything, use spawning tools for maps and stuff
proper harbor
I’m currently trying to run dragon heist of water deep on roll20
proper harbor
I was using roll20 for battles but it is very inconvenient
untold jackal
yeah it was annoying when i used it
There's a lot of dnd 5e tables that boast being the "ultimate table" on tts for it
ill take alook at a few of them
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=901492833&searchtext=dnd+5e+dragon+heist there's also this great mod
just a lot of minis
basically, imagine tts is like you have a big walk in wardrobe with THOUSANDS of boxes and you can search them for what you want
not everything is in there but there's a LOT
also you can play gloomhaven so
I'd reccomend watching some videos on like, what fancy stuff you can do with like hidden zones an spawning bags and stuff, can really make stuff a lot easier.
@proper harbor
This looks like everything for spacewolves, the mod says it's 8th edition
proper harbor
Woah
proper harbor
So anyways, I opened my wallet
untold jackal
Tabletopsim is so worth the money its insane
It has almost 40,000 mods so far
Oh no that IS space wolves
The table was just made for blood angels
warm dust
ive heard many many good things about tabletopsimulator
untold jackal
I need more friends that are into learning board games and card games
warm dust
There’s a few of us starting some tabletop campaigns for warhammer

So are we talking one of the Warhammer RPG‘s or we talkin eighth edition ninth addition table top
I mean I’m down for both

We're talking Dark Heresy / Only War

That is an unfortunate issue
I mean, Roll20 does have an in-browser text chat thing
but yeah, you'll probably have problems hearing people talk and whatnot
glad mirage
Shit yeah I’m in a d&d discord and there are some issues but it doesn’t usually get so bad I can’t play
That has happened twice I think in the last year or so
obtuse sinew
Well, hell, sounds like you'll be alright
obtuse sinew
yep
though we don't have a game setup for it yet
you could join the discord server, like Maryjane, aka @warm dust said

Do the necron kits still include the green plastic sticks?

graceful wolf
I got out of the hobby but I've been considering getting back in... uh... now that I am poorer than ever.
sage matrix
dusk osprey
That seems... ill advised. How much is indomitus? 250$?
sage matrix
Yes
dusk osprey
In other words, that's a full months worth of car insurance. Drive or model... 🤔
graceful wolf
JFC WAT? When I played the most expensive single model was like... $100. Set? Maybe $250
sage matrix
It’s a pretty big box set
dusk osprey
To be fair, indomitus does have a lot of really cool stuff
and it comes with the new rule book
graceful wolf
Ahh ok, I thought indomitus was a single model
dusk osprey
LOL

Beis is now Ferrus Manus, change my mind
dusk osprey
I'm just gunna buy the assault intercessors and the bladeguard when they get their own kits, I can't justify the full box
But boy do I want it
jade idol
wait a minute, is that what Vanguard Veterans are called now?
dusk osprey
No, Bladeguard veterans are their own thing
VanVets are firstborn and all get jumppacks, bladeguard vets are primaris
And also have like 3 wounds and a million attacks
jade idol
wot
the hell is GW smoking
an entire squad of people with 3 wounds each and all those attacks
jade idol
ah, just very expensive and not even worth investing in
still like Death Company people better
since it's an entire squad of men too angry to die

Watch Duncan Rhodes on youtube. He and Beis have a pretty similar style
sage matrix
Would recommend watching videos to understand the overall process of painting. Like what techniques you can use
Also
THIN THE PAINT
That is your best friend when it cones to painting
dusk osprey
(When he says thin, he means mix in a small amount of water then apply two coats.)
sage matrix
Figuring out what’s good to base coat a model, and thinning it further to add transitions btw light and dark areas
latent patrol
ive seen adam savage paint onw but it wasn't for 40k

I used to use a air brush but I felt like it was cheating a bit
Sorta took the fun out of it
Anyone can spray a model and add highlights with and airbrush, but you always come back to the brush

@sage matrix looks great!
I don't think there is really any adaptability but my Kill Team starter comes in tomorrow so I'll have some Space Wolves and T'au to setup.
fiery blade
Do you guys ever get pieces from Forge World? I've looked at some. I want to make a Gaunt's Ghosts squad for KT sooner than later but it looks like I'm going to have to mod stuff for it to be viable (looks wise).
I saw there was some older GG models that were metal but they can get pricey depending on their state
barren leaf
Why would you go to FW for that though? They only have Krieg models
fiery blade
I haven't looked through there all the way, not really sure what is totally offered.
barren leaf
FW only has Krieg. For Gaunt's Ghosts I'd suggest getting a Failcast Commi, some guardsmen, Katachans and Greenstuf.
barren leaf
Combine guardsmen with Katachan bits, model the capes w. Greenstuff. On Commi just cut off the fur collar and remodel as a shawl
barren leaf
It's a good choice I guess. Brother Vinni has good quality resin, unles I just got lucky with it
river turtle
Soooooo much talent in this channel, stunning

I'll be a conceited dick and say thanks as if it was meant for me. Thanks, @river turtle!

@river turtle why not have a figurine contest? with Darktide themed figurines?

i should start painting again
been thinking of doing a new set of IG in the scheme of the IG regiment i run an Only War campaign for

How do you run Only War with models? It's a pnp
hasty sorrel
I run OW on roll 20, but i like to paint models of player characters to give to people
barren leaf
Ah, I see
barren leaf
Good immersion
hasty sorrel
barren leaf
I did the servitor waifu model as a Heretek character for a Black Crusade campaign, actually
hasty sorrel
fair enough
its just kind of comfy, and i feel its a good reward for the team
they have no survived... 6 months?
only death was an ogryn so far
barren leaf
Quite the accomplishment for Only War
hasty sorrel
Its been against orks so they have taken full advantage of their ranged firepower
chimera has an autocannon and they have a heavy bolter heavy gunner
also helps their techpriest, whos been manning said auto cannon, basically doesnt miss
fired off 24 shots in a session and missed 3
barren leaf
Wish my Skitarii were this accurate
barren leaf
hasty sorrel
Has been fun running it, players have survived through wits and sticking together, lost of positioning and near misses
pretty sure 3 of them have now burnt almost all their fate

When I ran BC players would constantly try to kill each other
Honestly, it was like guiding a pack of Skaven warlords through a maze
fiery blade
that's how it feels being the DM for any ttrpg
hasty sorrel
all my players are new to 40k so i've been lucky in that regard
they dont know what to expect or act as
barren leaf
I played with some knowledgeable players and gave them all different variants of the what the final goal is
Okay, that's why they were acting like backstabbing rats
I remember now
hasty sorrel
lol
Only war nobody has been a backstabbing rat yet
the psyker did get an NPC squad possessed by demons tho
barren leaf
lol
hasty sorrel
so the commissar is considering shooting him
i think i broke the commissar with it aswell lol, the possession was temporary bar 1 guy
who failed a WP check and the possession became permanent, they would suffer blackouts and have no memory of what happened
ended up killing another NPC in the night, a NPC under the commissars command
his first loss in his squad and it wasnt even to the orks
barren leaf
grimdark
In BC i gave them a goal - get into the deep part of the Eye, find something called the Oracle. SO the Heretek got too much corruption and tried to lead his pals into vats with various substances constantly and thinks the Oracle is the Age of Strife AI, Slaanesh Champion failed WT checks against a Sorcerer and got convinced the Oracle is Slaanesh himself calling to him personally, Forsaken made some shady deals with local pirates and the Psyker went insane
barren leaf
In the end the Champion wrecked everyone, failed a roll and became a Spawn
It was hilarious

one in a room full of fungus
one on the zombie that almost killed him

hasty sorrel
the room full of fungus is right next to the way up aswell
so theres a fire bellow and a fire above
lusty crystal
well, that will change when he's on fire
hasty sorrel
i think the pyromancer will burn brighter

oh he's had to burn fate since the first fire he set caused a small expolsion throwing him against the wall killing him on impact

the crit system from dark heresy 2nd edition is fun too

yeah, dark heresy 2nd is only war with a inquisitorial reskin
still fun, but slightly complex at times
at least digitally
hasty sorrel
i had an ork lose an arm, a leg, part of his skull, get his stomach cauterized and then finally died to a shot in the back
obtuse sinew
By the emprah
lusty crystal
we had a gang leader who had a grenade in his pocket as a last ditch hurrah
i hit him in the chest, critted high enough, and boom
it took out our feral worlder, and half the gang
obtuse sinew
Damn
proud gorge
hasty sorrel
theres vehicle crits aswell
grizzled stump
the last time I was in a only war campaign I got crit in the arm by a grot so I threw a grenade back at him so hard the imact of the grenade killed him before it went off
lusty crystal
we managed to "stabilize" the feral worlder and then had him brought back to the nearest clinic where a doc kind of put him back together
obtuse sinew
Kind of???
lusty crystal
we then called in a favor from the local govenor (which is a hilarious high society game with mostly non faces)
obtuse sinew
CLAMPS?
lusty crystal
oh, and we cauterized a deep wound with a heated bayonet
obtuse sinew
Ouch
lusty crystal
no, the ones used in a proper surgical theater
the tiny ones, for the larger veins. and 2 clamps found on jumper cables.
hasty sorrel
surgical clamps are a thing ye
warm dust
Damn sound like there’s a lot of ugly PCs out there lmao
lusty crystal
anyway, hauled him to the governor, called in favor and got him to a proper surgeon. afterwards, our cogboy got jealous because a feral offworlder was more techy bits then him
obtuse sinew
Of course
lusty crystal
and of course the high society game. with a party consisting of: A guardsman noble officer, a forge world tech adept, a feral offworlder (without said techy bits), a penal colony medicae and a local noble who wanted to play badass
the only person with a decent amount of charm was the local noble
obtuse sinew
Oh boy
hasty sorrel
man 40k rpgs are just so fun
obtuse sinew
That sounds like it went great
hasty sorrel
so many characters u can do
lusty crystal
the officer was middling (because of a lucky roll and some dress code adjustments) and the rest had no fellowship/charm
obtuse sinew
Yeah, it seems a lot more variable than D&D or other ones that I've looked into
lusty crystal
combat starts out really clunky (at least for us, but we played digitally because of distances)
warm dust
Yeah there’s tons of shit to look at
lusty crystal
it's too simplyfied
hasty sorrel
its a good beginners setting, thats about it
but if u do the 40k RPGs, shadowrun or pathfinder
that kinda thing
so much more flex
lusty crystal
the problem with 5e is that it focuses on classes
grizzled stump
Ive already had this argument with others today
lusty crystal
if you decide to play something unique, you bone yourself
obtuse sinew
I agree, it is a good intro
grizzled stump
in my opinion
obtuse sinew
I think its simplicity has its own charm, but I do understand how that is detrimental when trying to be unique
lusty crystal
i've noticed that if you have a DM who decides: screw the rules as written, i'll make my own. you can get a lot farther with things, but it's still limited
gilded anchor
pathfinder is one if the best when striving for diversity, though it's just complex enough to scare new people away
there's rules for everything
lusty crystal
i'm still salty they removed item properties in 5e like dark iron or mithril
obtuse sinew
Oh no, they're there. Just stupid simple and hella useless; for instance, there's a metal that gives you 2x damage to objects. It costs 10x as much as a normal weapon
gilded anchor
3.5e is a mess where becoming frankenstein makes you god tier
lusty crystal
druidzilla comes to mind
but, let me continue with the high society bit
so there is 5 of us, only 2 who have a clue what's about to happen
warm dust
obtuse sinew
🍿
lusty crystal
the cogboy got stuck in a closet with surveillance gear (scared one of the maids who heard weird sounds, almost blowing our cover), the feral offworlder was put on show as a model as a "prime specimen" (we got lucky the hive world was somewhat decadent) and the medicae got dolled up as a waiter
now, about an hour into the party/ball/roman orgy, we get a signal from the cogboy that there are unknown vox communications in the area. the governor gave us access to his channels so those were checked and filtered out.
so we get the medicae, and tell him to go check it out, it turned out to be some prime blackmail material down the line (scions of to rival houses having a nice "Private party" somewhere secluded)
when the officer sees a noble keep scratching his ear, like he was wearing a comm bead
obtuse sinew
Officer be like: "owo, what's this?"
lusty crystal
we manage to speak to him privately and he confesses to being a spy (from a totally unrelated noble house) when a scream echoes through the room (think like thrice the size of a large ballroom) when we see a lady from in a beautiful dress holding what looks like a detonator
we are caught flat footed, and are not really packing any kind of heavy heat
when she starts a long winded speech about how her house was betrayed, yada yada yada, the feral worlder saunters up towards her, acting all "captivated" by her beauty
he grabs a glass of water from a nearby table and almost reverently offer it to her. she was caught absolutely of guard and even stopped her speech. so our DM gave the feral worlder a free action, which he could spend however he wanted
warm dust
lusty crystal
to which the player replied: i offer her the glass of water, right into her face. to which he yelled the words: beautiful lady, would you like some WATAAAAH
obtuse sinew
AHAHAHAAAAA
lusty crystal
and basically bruce lee rammed the glass of water into her face
a few rolls later, and she lost the detonator in the surprise attack, was bleeding heavily from both her face and throat and a feral worlder was standing on top of her screaming bloody murder at full mast

@sage matrix do you use Gee-Dubs paints only? Was wondering what you used for the shield surface
sage matrix
Yeah actually
I have some army painter but I mainly have been using GW; since my hobby shop is stocked with them
Plus paint consistency, pigment doesn’t separate from the oils as much

Used to play GURPS with a GM that had made a kind of steampunkish lovecraftian warhammer world. Was fun, especially when my character had been "marked" by some diety without his knowledge and started amassing trinkets that in effect were artifacts that would allow a deamon to possess him.

"steampunkish lovecraftian warhammer world" almost sounds like Grim Dawn
would make a great campaign setting

the last campaign I ran was 15 years ago
fiery blade
yeah, I enjoy it. I wish I got to play more but no one else in my group really cares to run games so for the past 10 years (with this group) I've been running stuff. We finished Tomb of Annihilation (in TPK) last year and I've been doing a homebrew thing this year. We used to run Pathfinder before that but I got severely burned out on PF and its bloat.
running organized play at LGS and conventions for Pathfinder Society didn't help

started in Luccini, where we needed to catch a boat to flee the city for various reasons
crossed the sea all the way to Lustria
and did some shit on the Vampire Coast
also, Dark Elfs were somehow involved in everything?

I claim that Text to speech is also canon now
I don’t have any authority on it, but if I can become canon, so can tts

To be fair, the Mechanicus team is not Games Workshop, so they can't make something canon. What they put in their game had to be approved by GW because they are the one making things canon

While playing Pathfinder last night our level 7 team got into a miniboss fight with some cacodaemons, two vrocks, and a templated Vulnadaemon.
After killing the cacodaemons and one of the vrocks, the Vulnadaemon decided to cast summon.
They apparently rolled a perfect 100; they called their boss for support. A Balor.
It would have been a TPK, except the Balor rolled multiple critical failures.
After teleporting to the middle of our group while we fled, our Inquisitor who had been lagging behind us decided to taunt it and run back into the the sealed off area we were running from to buy us time to escape.
The Balor fell for the taunt and attempted a flying charge, which let us get AoOs on it.
ONE hit it, prompting a flight check. Which it fumbled.
Then our Muscle Alchemist pinned it and it failed its check to escape the next round. Since it had spent all its spells and abilities on the NPCs, it was Helpless.
Coup-de-gras with a souleating weapon. Failed save vs death.
Balor is permakilled.
The only fudging by the DM was saying that since it was killed by a souleating weapon its death throes effect doesn't trigger.
Which... Ok, yeah, even if we made the DC33 save for half damage it'd still be a TPK
And it wasn't even supposed to be there.

Also it's probably an energetic sword, blood might vaporise at contact with the blade, which would be why it looks pristine
Or maybe he just have a servitor follow him and clean up the blade after each fight
I wish I had a few close friends still playing, I'd happily go back into the hobby

can we all agree that this guy shits all over the Chaos Master of Executions?
like any Imperial model shits all over their Chaos equivalent?
hoary heron
I don't know the current models, but Chaos used to have some super neat looking stuff. Noise marine, Thousand sons, ect
But I could never get into much of the chaos esthetic. Like the horns on the chaos marine helmet. They are space marine, what the fuck is that about? Is there some kind of space cow invasion I didn't heard about ?
dusk osprey
It's the +3 str and d2 that makes it bonkers. ap3 and mortal wounds on 6's is just added bonus. Wounding almost every chaos daemon on 3's, primarchs and tanks on 4's, and doing damage 2 or 3 with every attack? I'm jittering at the very thought
I'm playing him against CSM tomorrow, will report on results
the sword might look a bit too... clean?
I typically use waystone green on my powerweapons because I'm deathwatch, but I didn't think it made sense for a Judiciar. Might add some bloodsplash or lightning effects if I can get my hands on my brothers paint.

I'm kinda surprise at why you would make so much change in a world caracterized by not ever changing. Litteraly nothing has changed in the last ten thousand years
Especially if it's to add new mini like those those blocky boy
It's so questionnable design wise
I get keeping the hobby fresh and developping some army and adding some unit you know
I mean, like the Primaris. It make 0 sense. Improved space marine? They are already walking gods. There's stories about a squad of them holding up an army of thousands. The only weakness of space marine is their scarcity
But now somehow someone grew a batch of improved one out of his ass and they have been sitting playing craps for the last ten thousand year waiting for someone to give an order ?
dusk osprey
You wanna know why? Because it's really very simple.
New shit makes money.
hoary heron
You could just make a mark 7 or whatever number we're at armor
you don't need a stupid storyline who just make no sense in setting
dusk osprey
New lore books? People buy 'em. New space marines? People buy em. New rules, characters, things to see and do? People eat that shit up
There's a reason GW is reporting record sales since 8th ed dropped.
hoary heron
You can do all that without making as stupidely out of character for the universe as primaris
Like a fucking legion lost in the warp during the horus heresy that suddenly come out of it with its share of lost technology
dusk osprey
Saying "hey guys there's a new space marine armor sculpt" is a lot less enticing than saying "and a motherfucking SON OF THE EMPEROR SHOWED UP WITH A NEW LEGION OF SPACE MARINES AND WHOOPED ASS". One sells, one doesn't
hoary heron
But you can have a son of the emperor come out of the warp with a lost legion and whoop ass without having boring mc gee be brought back by fucking xeno technology and then somehow shit a whole legion of super soldier better than even the emperor could make them ?

WHAT
dusk osprey
Well A: It took Cawl 10,000 years to get even marginal improvements over Big E's designs, and he did it using Big E's personal notebook.
and B: That kind of thing wouldn't sell. GW doesn't give a flying shit about consistency, what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. They care about making a fuckload of money.
They're a company, that's what they do.
And it's hard to argue with the results. The new stuff has made them an unfathomable horde of money.
hoary heron
If there were fucking sweet model and new unit type coming with that new legion that shit would sell all the same
dusk osprey
Nope. People want characters and story behind their models. They want to see things move forward. Like it or not, Guilliman and his motely cru have been the driving factors behind GW's recent success.
Do you remember how much people complained about the plot not moving anywhere during 6th and 7th edition? Cuz it was bad

I mean, that's litteraly the whole concept of the universe. Everything went to shit, the humanity is on it's last leg, they are loosing technology and terrain. It's just that the imperium it so big that is take a stupid long time to collapse
dusk osprey
It's always been a part of fluff that the Imperium expands as quickly as it contract. With every world lost the horrors of Chaos, or the thirst of the tyranids, another is founded by an explorator fleet. That's been canon since almost rogue trader
Speaking of rogue traders actually, they're instrumental in that process. Turns out owning a planet is a pretty neat gig
hoary heron
Yeah but it's just fleeing forward. They can't keep what they have forever so they are just trying to find other place to colonise to keep it going
but like, loosing cadia? That's not something you can replace
They are loosing
they are just loosing slowly
because everything take forever in 40k

If the IoM sent an equal share of space marines to every planet in their empire, every planet would have one space marine.
hoary heron
yes
that's the theory
since forever
but they are so powerful that it's enough to make a difference
dusk osprey
One space marine can win one battle, but he cannot win a war.
hoary heron
one space marine on a planet might make a difference in a battle, but they aren't deployed by one
they are deploy by at least an unit

Space marines are supposed to be the tip of the spear, the razor that allows the hammer of the emperor to act easily. They are not supposed to be spread out like too little butter on a galaxy sized sandwich
