If you are losing really badly

Slam it into the table and ruin the game for both sides

That wouldn't even be a mini, it would be a macro

The battlefleet Gothic mini is honestly very cute though

It's adorable

If you knew this was going to happen then why did you return

queen laurel
#

Like everyone has a universal opinion here that talking to you isn't the most fun experience

celest dome

#

I mean, technically its not off topic lol

#

it is just kind of making fun of someone for embarrassing behavior lol

#

did u know?
the Adepta Sororitas, colloquially called the "Sisterhood," whose military arm is also known as the Sisters of Battle and formerly as the Daughters of the Emperor, are an all-female division of the Imperium of Man's state church known as the Ecclesiarchy or, more formally, as the Adeptus Ministorum.

#

and they are known for using power armor and guns to kill people wowow

#

also they are very religious, sometimes their faith allows then to overcome their fear and doubt

#

wow

paper haven
#

The Imperial guard is the- Wait, that's already been said.

rocky gale
#

Despite being called the Guard, they're actually often used to attack. yesgryn

paper haven
#

Which you might think is misleading. Perhaps even quite mean.

crisp heath
#

I think the guard are cooler then space marines

#

Just regular dudes doing what they can against impossible odds

paper haven
#

Hard not to like them. At least I think so.

crisp heath
#

I need to read one of the guard books after I finish the necron ones

#

Either Cain or gaunt

queen laurel
#

Even though they really aren't sometimes people's cup of tea at least you can appreciate the bravery they have

rocky gale
#

I recommend the Severina Raine novels

storm jungle
#

novel* 💀

#

she does have like 4 short stories though so lol

rocky gale
storm jungle
#

Meanwhile Yarrick

#
  • 3 books
#
  • 7 short stories
rocky gale
#

We need more Raine

#

And more Bequin and more von Shard and more Lesk.

storm jungle
#

Lesk JUST got a novel i think

#

NEVERMIND IT CAME OUT IN 2023

rocky gale
#

More yellsister

storm jungle
rocky gale
#

Yea Lesk got a novel and an omnibus last year

storm jungle
#

they deffo are pumping these out

rocky gale
#

and tbf von Shard got a novel and I think 2 short stories last year

storm jungle
#

best you can do sometimes

paper haven
#

I need to read the newest Bequin novel

celest dome
#

The only SM I kinda want a novel on are the Marine Malevolent, and to see somewhat why they are like they are

paper haven
#

Are those the heavily mutated marines?

celest dome
#

It's the SM that are assholes

storm jungle
#

the ones that bomb civillians etc

#

and steal shit from other Chapters

#

like, not even in a funny way, straight up robbing them lol

paper haven
#

Heh. Not as specific as it should be

celest dome
#

If there are some "Nice" SM
Those are the "worst" SM (that aren't Chaos)

raven stone
#

Marines Malevolent, is all that needs to be said.

storm jungle
#

they are Marines

#

who are Malevolent

#

some deep shit

coarse pumice
#

someone in the imperium should catch on and start naming their new foundings more specifically

#

though saying that, there's sometimes where some 'nasty' names are loyal and 'nice' names turn traitor

rocky gale
#

Who wins

The Marines Malevolent, the Sisters Sinister, the Necrons Nefarious, the Guards Ghastly, the Tau Terrible, the Drukhari Dastardly, the Eldar Evil or the Votann Vile?

storm jungle
#

this reminds me of how they couldnt call the Sinister Six by their name in the spiderman cartoon

#

so they dubbed them the Insidious Six

#

god i hate comics

celest dome
#

Terrible Tyranids ?

#

Oh Tau already have Terrible

#

Terrifying Tyranids

storm jungle

So why didnt the emperor make more primarchs?

storm jungle
#

Because plot

outer wave
#

HE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY

#

WHY IS HE SO DUMB

#

Like I get chasing after the primarchs because if they fell to the wrong hands, who knows what they'd do, but why didnt he have a contigency plan in cases something was fucked up with them in a way he wasnt anticipating?

storm jungle
#

Honestly you could make like an entire r/arkham list of shit the Emperor has done that is stupid

outer wave
#

Oh if what people say in here is true, definitely

queen laurel
# storm jungle Because plot

Dilara Aos question,

can a character ride a creature that is mutated by chaos but since this creature is only mutated by chaos it doesn't serve chaos so they tame it completely well?

gray umbra
#

U wot

storm jungle
#

No you cant

#

a chaos creature like in WHF is usually completely feral and will attack you

#

you also dont have the bond of a sane steed like you would with a non-chaos corrupted one

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Lmao

#

more or less

outer wave
#

He could have gotten the toad dragon as a gift for his services

#

Ghark Ironskin got something like that with the chorfs

queen laurel
outer wave
#

Mhm!

#

On how well he'd be able to tame the beast is a different story but its warhammer, exceptions to the rule always happen

queen laurel
# storm jungle more or less

say other ogors won't mind right because to their eyes it's just good business and that's why he got rewarded with a good pet

storm jungle
#

Well yeah its more that its like being gifted a radioactive horse

#

just dont be surprised when your skin starts melting off and glowing

outer wave
#

Its ogors, they'll be fiiine

queen laurel
spring cairn
#

you don't look a radioactive horse in the mouth or something

queen laurel

And that's how he was able to tame it but unfortunately that doesn't seem to work

Do you think any ogre has been dumb enough to eat nurglings

spring cairn

They could do it easily and get nutrients out of them

very famous greifer in the mortal realms

Wow these actually don't look that horrible

anyways Nagash thought her murder of anyone in her way was hilarious

arctic talon

but didn't like how she was running the kingdom + how a plague of nurgle was there

viral halo
arctic talon

so iirc he ripped out her soul and damned her to an eternity of torment lol

viral halo
#

I'm trying to remember the exact kit

green loom
#

I wish the MESBG minis were slightly larger

arctic talon
#

she ended up being given a shard of Nagash's divinity when Nagash realized he enjoyed giving people comically horrid punishments in death

#

so she's in charge of all the nighthaunts now

viral halo
arctic talon

either way her punishment is that she never will feel the love of her subjects ever lol

#

and she's eternally sad

paper haven

Rip

since she had to hide her joy in the fact she had murdered like pretty much anyone in her way

but i haven't really seen him

arctic talon

but yeah all the Nighthaunt have some sort of punishment

spring cairn
#

gelt is the wizard spammer now

arctic talon

because Nagash doesn't like them for some petty reason

you can get a full wizard stack at turn 10

Chainrasps are slaves

I wanna try playing Vamp Counts sometime

aslong as you have a caster, that's just average vampire count gameplay

without a caster, uh

They're not very good but. You can have like four of em

Not in my kingdom.

iirc some of the nighthaunt who drowned in life constantly feel like they're drowning in undeath lol

#

thanks nagash

queen laurel

man i love having access to some of the most busted range units in the game as nurgle

arctic talon
#

lol

#

free chorfs

paper haven
#

Guns > swords

spring cairn
#

it's easier acess yeah

#

but with allied recruitment

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

you could already get p much anything

paper haven
arctic talon
#

note to self avoid angering nagash in some random way

#

so he just keeps you as a undead slave rather then a tortured undead one

paper haven
#

Great deal, that

arctic talon
#

simply don't worship sigmar

#

or chaos

#

or anything but nagash

queen laurel
paper haven
#

Yeah but he seems to screw you over even if you worship him.

queen laurel
#

In that one hen you could actually at least get the skull cracker mortar

arctic talon
outer wave
#

But its still a shit deal regardless

#

Least chaos gives you a chance of becoming a cool slave

paper haven
#

Maybe the vampire counts are onto something

spring cairn
#

they know elspeth's coming

arctic talon
#

anyways kill nagash or something idk

paper haven
#

Make him alive? Like casting heal on an undead.

outer wave
#

Well resurrection magic and such was developed from undeath magic, yes?

paper haven
#

Would that work or would he just become more powerful? Idk how magic works in the fantasy setting.

outer wave
#

I would say its two sides of the same coin

#

Undeath magic used by the vampires and those part of Nagash's forces in WHF is developed from the same source of magic that resurrection and I think light magic(?) that is used by Settra and the other Tomb Kings

#

I dont think it'd have much effect on Nagash

paper haven
#

Well. Shit.

arctic talon
#

Nagash is a full on god

#

by AoS

outer wave
#

Also that

#

Somewhat related but from what I know of Tomb Kings, its fun to see its another flavor of skeleton people by making them skeletons with souls still intact

#

Like the normal skeleton warrirors in TWW have their souls still, albeit less in tact in comparison to their leaders

storm jungle
misty vector
#

so what even is age of sigmar?

#

is it like a sequel to the old world?

#

havent heard many people talk about it

storm jungle
#

A lot of people talk about it tbh, you just arent in their sphere like most of us i think

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Its the continuation of the Old World after Archaon destroyed it yeah

queen laurel
#

The reason why we don't hear much about it is because it's basically less recognizable than 40k

#

Like if you spend a good chunk of your time there you would see it but if you don't

#

Not much

storm jungle
#

Every winds of magic became its own physical realm basically and its Order vs Chaos with some other destructive factions sprinkled in between.

Imagine He-Man but warhammer lol

celest dome
paper haven
#

My understanding is that End Times basically just shot the setting in the back of the head out behind the shed and Age of Sigmar is GW's attempt to bring it back to life.

celest dome
#

Yesn't

storm jungle
#

Its not really an attempt

paper haven
#

Am I close or is that off base?

celest dome
#

AoS isn't really attempting to reusrect fantasy, it is its own thing
Old World is the attempt to bring it back

storm jungle
#

^

#

the Old World was dying because it made no money, GW at the end of the day did the right decision because AoS makes a shit ton of bucks in comparison

celest dome
#

And AoS is very great

queen laurel
paper haven
#

Well ok then

storm jungle
#

Its also generally just less restrictive compared to WHF

celest dome
#

Mini wise AoS win over 40k every day of the week

queen laurel
#

Like to this day people just hate age of sigmar for no reason

paper haven
storm jungle
#

Because they saw it as an attempt to replace it

queen laurel
#

Yep

paper haven
#

Ah. Very well then

queen laurel
#

They can't separate it as another different setting so they just go ape shit

storm jungle
celest dome
#

Cause they see AoS as the reason that fantasy had to be killed
When it's more about if AoS wasn't there there wouldn't have been any fantasy continuation
And probably no Old World

paper haven
storm jungle
#

Lmao you're welcome

#

basically you dont really have to care about the setting if it doesnt interest you

#

people just like to shit on it "because it killed fantasy so it sucks ass"

queen laurel
#

Yeah warhammer has 3 three settings now

fantasy is returning

Aos if you fancy high fantasy more

And 40k if you prefer sci-fi

celest dome
#

Best way to understand how AoS is, is to think of the Norse Planes of existences, multiple "infinite" realms linked from various places by realm bridges

misty vector
#

but is AoS entirely new factions aside from chaos orrr

celest dome
#

A lot are new but come from past/fantasy factions

paper haven
#

Seems like AoS is an entirely different thing

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

Like the aesthetics of the dwarves elves and orcs can still be seen there

#

Like i said it's more high fantasy

celest dome
paper haven
#

I think High fantasy is a better angle for the setting.

outer wave
#

Least Beastmen are still in lore I guess

#

Idk they just needed more models than "Furry" and I think they could've done okay

#

Like apparently there was description of rhino headed and insect headed beastmen which is cool as fuck

Mostly militarism and war is good for advancement in those series. But it's clunky machines that are huge.

#

That run on gas

outer wave
#

I would say it's more sci fi gothicpunk with sprinkles of dieselpunk

bold wren
#

Dieselpunk is more space marines, and militarum

#

The war machines especially and the Imperium of Man.

celest dome
#

I don't think it fit as Dieselpunk, neither the message nor the aesthetic

outer wave
#

I would say mostly for orks

#

But yeah otherwise it's very much not dieselpunk

bold wren
#

Dieselpunk is based on WW2 heavily.

#

And military industrial complex and the machines less then fascism.

#

But that is only one part of WW2 as there was many conflicting sides.

#

But the military industrial complex played a big part in that war.

#

And the military industrial complex is quite important to humanity fighting wars, and the factories in 40k are heavily dieselpunk.

forest orbit
#

40k has too many aesthetics to be just diesel

#

you are solely talking about the Imperium, which isnt what makes up the setting as a faction

#

and even the Imperium has steampunk and other stuff too

bold wren
#

The orks are dieselpunk too.

forest orbit
#

Not really

#

they are junk

bold wren
#

Madmax is literally dieselpunk you sure about that.

forest orbit
#

?

#

its post-apocalypse

#

its not diesel lol

bold wren
#

It's dieselpunk still.

forest orbit
#

its not dieselpunk

#

its post-apocalypse

bold wren
#

Fallout is Atompunk

#

So no

#

The apocalypse means nothing

forest orbit
#

It kinda does

#

post-apocalypse is the main selling point

#

the atom-punk shit is just half of the setting, most of it is junk/apocalyptic scrap stuff

arctic talon
#

Fallout is more like post post apocalyptic

forest orbit
#

^

arctic talon
#

Since humanity is rebuilding

forest orbit
#

You are focusing on 1 aesthetic and saying it encompasses the entire setting

#

and yeah that

arctic talon
#

The prewar stuff is def like atom punk

#

But wasteland stuff nah

celest dome
#

Cyberpunk (the game) is cyberpunk not because it look like it, but because it's also has specific messages and themes

forest orbit
#

Yeah this is a big generalisation

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

The whole

#

Extreme capitalism and loss of humanity thing

viral halo
#

Damn warhammer is dieselpunk is great bait

outer wave

It kinda is yeah

storm jungle
#

late but if you want Dieselpunk then Wolfenstein is where its at lol

#

fucking love this shit

arctic talon
#

I love the Dieselkraftwerk

#

#1 nazi killer

#

LaserKraftWerk is also fun

outer wave
#

More like LaserKraftTWERK

storm jungle
#

also lmao I forgot Diesel is literally in that gun's name

arctic talon
#

I like how both are fueled with diesel lol

#

the flaming bomb launcer

#

and the fucking laser cannon

storm jungle
#

they really did not need to put this much thought into these weapons but man 💀

arctic talon
#

I like how a lot of the nazi energy guns reload with diesel lol

#

and the fancy moon ones don't

storm jungle
#

they got that ancient jewish alien technology 💀

arctic talon
#

I forgot

#

that was the plot for that stuff

#

lmao

storm jungle
#

LMAO

arctic talon
#

electrokraftwerk is also fun even though its from youngblood

#

I like the fucking tesla shotgun

storm jungle
#

I appreciate that its like "lmao no way the germans could accomplish this shit, they stole STCs instead."

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

I still enjoy the animation and sound design from youngblood

#

I really like the new hachet and knife takedowns

storm jungle
#

same here, just an overall shame at what happened why

viral halo
#

how was the second game

#

I only played the first

storm jungle
#

New Colossus wasnt bad but it was deffo too Marvel in some areas lol

#

lots of cool ideas that were undercooked

Did the good guys win in the end

storm jungle

yes

arctic talon

you're really squishy

viral halo

that's all that matters PES_Heart

storm jungle

they kill Frau Engel on live national TV with a hatchet through her skull

arctic talon
#

you got half the HP from the first game

storm jungle
#

lmao

arctic talon
#

I think my favorite takedown from youngblood

#

is the nazi officer like

#

eye stab lmao

#

with the knife

storm jungle
#

Lmao its great

#

could be better but still stare

arctic talon
#

tbh youngblood is just unfortunate lol

#

wolfenstien the new order is still the best of the 3 gameplay wise

#

except for the stabbing quick time events

#

those fucking sucked

viral halo
#

Bring back quick time events in all games

#

god of war style

#

press O to leave your daughter

radiant lance

Any quick time event mechanics is just the lowest possible attempt at player interaction in a video game

snow fern
#

Youngblood isn’t something I super like, but I do enjoy the other 3 modern Wolfenstein greatly

storm jungle
#

Same tbh, they are all great

arctic talon
#

For very little reason

snow fern
#

I guess you could argue the whole supersoldatin thing buffing them up, but yah I get that criticism

arctic talon
#

I get that for the supersoldiers but like

#

Not the normal grunts

#

Why is that Nazi officer still alive after I mag dump him with the smgs lol

storm jungle
#

its one of the parts where the arcade'y feeling deffo gets a bit 💀

snow fern
#

I outa find time to play through new colossus and old blood again. I did say I was gonna do that after I had just finished the first game too

arctic talon
#

I do think it’s funny how the new order put in so much effort in the like

#

Allies final attempt to win

#

And there’s a bunch of unique guns

#

That appear nowhere else in the game

#

Like they’re just reskins but it’s fun

snow fern
#

I do actually like that they went into that much effort

#

Lotta love for one of the first fps series

#

Shame a lotta old ips just sit in a cabinet somewhere being sat on by corpos like a dragon

arctic talon
#

If we ever get another new Wolfenstien I hope it takes gameplay primarily from new order/old blood tbh

snow fern
#

That smiling friends episode made me sad

viral halo
#

Gwimbly!

snow fern
#

I hope Accursed Farms succeeds in this suit over game preservation. I really do

dusk patrol
#

Very uh, interesting quick time event there

storm jungle
#

LMFAO

#

those are peak mid 2000's gaming summed up

dusk patrol
#

Now I will say, GoW was kinda just brutal as fuck to everyone

#

Idk what the message was even

arctic talon
#

Uhhh

#

Good question

dusk patrol
#

The new games are much more thought out

arctic talon
#

The new games are very good story wise

dusk patrol
#

The original three or four or whatever you wanna include are very just

arctic talon
#

Edgy

dusk patrol
#

Kratos angry, watch him come up with a fucked up and ironic way to kill these gods

storm jungle
#

Basically revenge is great up until 3, then the Norse stuff is basically going through how much pain and suffering Kratos caused, honestly its handled REALLY well as a retrospective in-universe and out of it.

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

storm jungle
#

the devs deffo by the end of 3 kinda made you realise how awful of a person kratos is i think

snow fern
#

Uhh. Kratos is an angry man who in his pain and grief destroys everything around him

dusk patrol
#

It makes the previous games a lot better

storm jungle
#

yeah exactly

#

it took him 3 fucking games to realise hes a bad person

#

he very much says he killed as many people who were deserving as many who were not

dusk patrol
#

Like, Kratos you’re a dude living in Ancient Greece, just get a new wife and kid.

#

Smh

snow fern
#

Him opening Pandora’s Box, sacrificing Pandora, making the gods worse, and not even finding hope

storm jungle
#

LMAO

snow fern
#

What a gut punch

storm jungle
#

greece moment

storm jungle
#

its cheesy but it works

dusk patrol
#

There was always a 50/50 chance they weren’t gonna live anyways

storm jungle
#

Yeah it kinda also went to show how the people who didnt like GoW4 didnt realise Kratos was already heading towards such a personality change by the end of 3

#

apparently making him a remorseful/guilt-ridden person is "bad" lol

pine wedge
#

there are people who didnt like GoW4? what

snow fern
#

One can only be so angry for so long

dusk patrol
#

Also obviously there’s a theme of cycles which in general is a theme in Greek mythology anyways

#

Percy Jackson did a similar thing of breaking the cycle or trying to not repeat old mistakes

snow fern
#

The percy jackson books are great

dusk patrol
#

With lots of violence

#

Kratos fixes the mistakes of the past by punching people really hard but he’s doing it cause he’s a dad now

pine wedge
#

it's such an incredibly good development of the character and the narrative. it retroactively makes the previous 3 games better by taking some of the "HEY TEENAGER LOOK AT THIS YOU CAN TEAR SOME STUPID GOD'S HEAD OFF ISN'T THIS BADASS?" edge off and making all of it part of Kratos' journey into a character with way more depth and nuance

snow fern
dusk patrol
#

There’s a few but I’m not gonna get into that

snow fern
#

Moving forward and recognizing one’s mistakes is a important point of growth

dusk patrol
#

Yeah it’s really well done

viral halo
#

God of War 1-3 > the new stuff

dusk patrol
#

Bah

#

I will say the one where you go after the fates was probably my favorite

#

That had some very creative concepts

#

They always did really cool takes on the myths

snow fern
#

I like a number of the not numbered entries as well. Like Kratos trying to reconcile with his brother

#

Not sure what he thought was gonna happen killing the Fates though

viral halo
#

shit there was a prequel on ps3 that was really good

#

Forget what it was called

#

yo speaking of ps3 whatever happened to killzone?

Who the hell knows. Same for Resistance Fall of Man

#

I’d absolutely do a gsc themed around the Chimera

I did really like that concept won’t lie

“Jsut a wee bit of genocide”

They did go ham with the nazi imagery in that series lmfao

Yeah

It’s not subtle at all

#

They have German accents even iirc

viral halo

They’re space nazis

My favorite borderline offensive plot point in the new Wolfenstein games is the Nazis win cause they got more ancient Jewish space magic tech caches first

As Raiden says

Collective consciousness is his “face” song so to speak

But you can hear some of his actual ideology in it

plush mason

which is telling because so many now fully agree with his philosophy kekw

dusk patrol

My favorite MGS moments are when you can tell Hideo is smelling his own farts

dusk patrol

Maybe some joke of it

anyone who agrees with his actual philosiphy are derranged

he is an anarchist

only rules are the ones the strong make for themselves, a view many in America have long embraced sadly

all i know is that there's ten thousand comments under every video/post he's featured in saying he's right and has done nothing wrong
