I'm a dumb guy not a legion fan from fallout new vegas
There is a difference
true, bulgur is just an honest, organic, freerange, homegrown, common clay of the new west type of dumbass.
I can vouch for that.
I do believe Ork Fans would be less politically affiliated...if no less trolling and aggressive lol.
like actual Orks
Slight blazing saddles reference?
I associate a lot of ork fans with redditors
As an ork fan meeting and actually racist ork fan is very rare compared to the fans of other factions
40k is mainly aimed at kids/teens
nope
so you are entirely correct
The type to say waagh out loud in a game
Brother if i was a redditor i was out of this server the moment i stepped here
its why i love it when adult fans are like "NOOO I WONT ALLOW MY SETTING TO BE KIDIFIED"
Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) has been insulted by an elderly woman and Jim - 'The Waco Kid' (Gene Wilder) tries to console him.
oh maybe it is then
I haven't seen that movie but maybe I got the phrase from the internet quoting it
lol
"the common clay of the new west, you know, morons"
That's one way to describe how i think in life as a Iron Jaw fan
yeah gotta be it.
Me when I welcome a new person into 40k
me being an adult who does the opposite and wonders exactly how far one can push creating 40k crossovers with kiddy settings
Honestly its not that hard lol
Warhammer Adventures kinda proved it
and it has a kid get disintegrated

NOOOO YOU CANT JUST GO AGAINST THE LORE REEEEEEEE
dab
Good riddance
also one thing adults never fucking understand
Kids love violence
idk why they try to assume like they dont lol
Why did you think they loved donald duck when he worshipped hitler
Dumb kid brains love violence like no other
Warhammer fans when you tell them their "deep" and "vast" setting has the consistency of water and the depth of a kiddy pool
You can tell who's even look into books if they treat 40k books as barely serious
Because 90%(being generous) is just generic, dumb action slop
Yeah the setting is quite literally made to sell funny plastic crack
And I zone out of the action slop
"WOMEN???? In my TOY SOLDIERS?????"
I hate reading fights in books
You remove that and this setting is going to go down faster than a meteorite
Okay but actually like
"it's good as long as it doesn't go against lore"
What fucking lore though
You fight in comics and movies, not books
Book 3 that says X, book 12 that says Y, or book 8 that says Z
Most people that say that mostly quote codexs
Yeah because the purpose built flavour text books are always un-embellished
you mean the lore to sell this giant naked man?
looks like my dad
Looks like me
It's funny how they treat 40k story like actual real life history
this is why shonen anime is so succesful internationally as well
It isn't like we can dig stuff up to prove it.
my mother forbade me from watching Dragonball Z because it was "so violent" but every fucking kid in the neighbourhood was ALL OVER THAT SHIT
Turkish people when i tell them that they look like mega gargants
because of the violence
I just prefer they keep a guideline with what they estimablish visually
big dudes powering up and kicking the shit out of each other even harder by yelling?
hell yeah dude
1121
That is what to tell any turk
He's hitting you with a Battle of Didgori reference
LMAO
only gori i know is Father Grigori
and that man is a hero in this house
God I love the folks sperging out about female custodes
"The SILENT MAJORITY REJECTS this DESECRATION of LORE"
said silent majority that is the 95% of the fandom that just plays minis
female custodes my beloved
Literally most upvoted post on r/ImaginaryWarhammer
Yeah but necrons at least can have the tech to maybe deal with them, everyone else is fucked when necrons pull out their pokeball
And funny thing at one point i was just waiting at them to notice the woman custodes as they were being mad about the rules
And even more so if they get out
I love the realization that wait the rules are bad but why are there women here
Almost like you can’t tell under the armor
Its not that
the tabletop players legit do not care lol
and they are the main audience
the lore focused front just thinks they" rule" this fandom somehow

Yeah they were like man the rules are bad then they noticed the woman and somehow become even more aggressive than the rules being bad
It's like a funny switch up
Like they're being mad about something totally understandable to being mad about something totally unreasonable in a span of a second
Lol, that’s funny
barely having any stake in a community yet getting outraged when stuff happens
So true
To be fair
its basically every fandom
GEORGE LUCAS KILLED MY CHILDHOOD!!!
Meanwhile Dexter Jetster
Dexter Jettster is literally the best addition to Star Wars
definitely up there with jar jar
Primaris literally killed my dog under orders from GW REEEEEE
LMFAO
Can the fan base in this setting for once complain about something totally understandable to complain about
Okay but dilara this new marine is missing exactly one minor detail GW has RUINED SPACE MARINES once again
Fuck Matt Ward(for good measure)
The fact that hes still getting death threats/hatemail is crazy
ITS BEEN LIKE 20 FUCKING YEARS
and compared to other authors, what he did isn't even the worst right
Damn is a swear word?
Damn means christianity exists in star wars!!!!!!
yeah apparently it is
Ward's situation is basically a can of worms
people more or less blame him for largely the faults the studio placed on him as the writer in the codex credits.
sheesh
still though some people are too crazy
remember
the incident with him is entirely why GW doesnt credit the teams behind making codexes and other game content anymore
so the fans took away the reason to read credit
damn
“Ruined” space marines having more content and support than other factions combined
And therefore the most people to complain
Meanwhile xenos be like:
can you imagine ork players getting mad that a gargant model is missing a small chunk of metal
I would
Fr fr
Good thing ork customizability basically renders that kind of mistakes irrelevant
Because if there isn't enough metal, it not strong enough
I wouldn’t even notice
Tbh
I’d be like “oh cool, it’s randomized”
Needs more armor
Speaking of, Drukhari recently has the highest winrate in the game with 57%, can't wait to be nerfed into dust.
where do you see stuff like win rate stats
Auspex Tactics usually does videos quite regularly about it
ah him, I searched up the win rate and apparently yes they are horrifying
It's an inflated winrate though because their not a faction that are played much, so the people that play them are pretty experienced at playing specifically Drukhari
Seems orks aren't doing so well in the meta right now
what's the ward situation?
The sample size is very small
I doubt GW is gona touch them
SM players are just whiny and entitled from being the poster child
3% play 67% win rate is horrifying
It is a skewed set of data
They’re datasheets are not good enough to get nerfed, it’s just experience
I would say maybe all the free disembark and reembark through walls is a little annoying
mags what's your favorite faction in each grand alliance
Like if you’re a non necron faction, what the fuck do you do if a ctan shard gets thrown out, or heavens forbid, breaks free?
Die I guess
You hope you're the protagonist
The 40k writers are like a divine presence
If you suddenly feel special and fleshed-out, you're good
Order: cities or fyreslayers (it’s really big so 2 is fine)
Chaos: S2D/darkoath
Death: flesh eater courts
Destruction: gloomspite
Gloomspite are nice
I have flesh eaters and gloomspite, I plan to either get cities or darkoatj
Yeee
For second place
Order: stormcasts or Sylvaneth
Chaos: tzeentch
Death: nighthaunt (which I have)
Destruction: Kruleboyz
(Which I have)
That's a nice list
mine are
Order: Fyreslayers
Chaos:blades of khorne
Death: Ossiarch bonereapers
Destructuion: Sons of Behemat, Ogor Mawtribes, Gloomspite gitz, and iron jawz
yeah i basically like the entirety of destruction
I am planning to get a kraken eater for my birthday tbh
The seconds being Bonesplitterz and Kruleboyz
dang that's a nice gift
the other mega gargants don't strike your fancy?
Actually might get a gate breaker- one of the two
They do, I’m just getting it for the mercenary
there's only like 4 choices
so it really depends on what you want them to do
Kraken
Gate
Beast
War
Brodd (who isn’t merc)
Yeah not including big daddy brodd there's only four
Kraken can be in order
Gate can be in death
Beast is only destruction (and is trh worst one)
And war can go in chaos
And all can be in destruction
Kharadron
Gloomspites
Bloodbounds
Nighthaunt
yes it works wonders
aye nice
Based, I’m getting Kharadron soon tbh
I have the magazine
It’s worth for the models but that’s it
Beastsmasher is supposed to target monsters but not really everyone brings one
and a good chunk of the factions don't need to use monsters
So generally speaking it would be folly to let one out or think you can control one and it won’t break free and kill you, correct?
Unless your necrons and even then it’s a big risk
Lord inquisitors will see ancient cosmic star gods that the most advanced race struggled to contain even shards of and go “yeah, I can tame it”
"my faith will protect me"
his faith did not in fact protect him
clearly didnt have enough faith: the next lord inquisitor after him
I mean, if this is in reference to the Rogue Trader game...
Rogue Trader ||IF they chose to assist the Inquisitor||
"Excuse me am I a fucking joke to you!?"
Skysplinter is hard carrying the faction tbh and the only the best/most derranged drukhari players are bringing them to tournaments rn
It is
If I thought it would genuinely work or if we had a backup plan for if it failed, I might agree with him and so all those deaths weren’t for nothing, but any chance of any extra ctan shards being out in the galaxy is infinitely worse than the benefits of having one tamed
The weird thing is ||if you do help Calcazar, you do end up containing it…but then the High Lords grow sense/spine (or both) for ONCE, and actually sent an Assassin to deal with him.||
||clearly shapeshifters have taken over the imperial senate, they actually did something competent/reasonable, no way in hell its the actual high lords giving that order||
||unless they also sent forces to take the shard, then its them||
yeah but gate breaker does teh same thing to any enemry for 1d6 less damage
so 4d6 damage
and monsters arent great this edition
monster heroes are fine
but counter picking 400 poitns to off a zombie dragon or a hydra
is pretty bad tbh
except maybe in 3000 point games
and it hink its wrose that its only for destcution
which ahs some of the best monster killing
if like, whos someone with bad monster killing
flesh eaters
or some faction with bad big removal
could take it it would be fine
Now the one in my ship is different because he’s nice and my friend and I taught him morals
Yes but for how long?
Also my character would have no way to know that it works for sure and the risk is too great to chance it
Yea that’s fair
The ending implies the trap holds for good, but…we will never know.
Though in all honesty, probably not for long if they write an expansion lol.
And again, there’s no way to guarantee the timeless star god won’t get out eventually, they’re pretty pissed and determined
Can you just save scum to do both in a run?
Cause I’m curious to see the differences
Might be better asking that Discord in terms of long term implications.
Short term, obviously, nothing stops you from saving at the point of talking to ||Calcazar||
Btw can you agree with calcazar and then just turn around and kill him for hurting Pasqual’s feelings?
I have a save right before I talk to him, is there anything stopping me from reloading it afterwards?
That…I am not sure about.
Btw what exactly is the tech blight?
I thought it was warp spawned from one of calcazars experiments
Hm…I haven’t touched the game in a while so that detail kind of escapes me at the moment.
Do you know if I can kill him myself on that route?
No, you either help or you don’t AFAIK.
His fight always comes before the shard one.
Do you decide what happens with the shard after?
Nobody expects the imperial inquisition
I quite like the idea of the agents of the imperium
I’d die for a rogue trader army
Themed*
I’d probably uh, obtain more voidsmen at arms, not the ones in the suit but the one that comes in the roguetrafer box
yeah they are both literally the same format the RT would just have almost less gestapo agent dudes.
helps that their RPG logic has remained the same for years "recruit anyone for your party"
…y’know it just struck me
How GW writing is still a wee bit unbiased and imbalanced.
Why?
Because imperial factions sell more books
Notice how all the loyalist Primarchs have wholesome or sane adoptive families
Oh
For that?
Fulgrims family was sane and normal
Same with Perturabo
And magnus
But the traitor Primarchs all come from “broken” families…
…oh.
Thanks for disproving my late night mad thoughts lol.
The warp nearly got me there.
Perturabo’s father genuinely like
Loved him
Fulgrims family seemed normal
Magnus’s father also loved him
Ah ok, excellent.
But yea would break the mold even better if at least 1 loyalist Primarch actually overcame adoptive their own abusive family background per se.
angron, lorgar and Mortarion all got a very short end of a stick
Ferrus’s family was nothing while living on Medusa
He ended up okay
True
I don’t think Lion had a family either?
He grew up on his own in the forest
Though Lion ended up a little deranged
You're still a bit semi-right because we are suppose to think of loyalist primarchs as heroes when they are basically genocidal warlords lol
its kinda played off as "oh they accept it because its for the greater good/the Imperium will fix itself eventually" but eh.
Even more egregious when its people like Corax whos suppose to hate tyrants
There is a reason why Khan is my fav loyalist Primarch.
He was as big a monster as them all
Arguably worse
His gripe with the Emperor was how it chained him down, not with the genocide and endless conquering.
He just wanted to be free to endless ride around conquering and shit
He only agrees with the “kill dangerous stuff” part of Emp’s plans…
Now THAT having been said.
Yes, he has his flaws too. For sure. Like, say, not frigging communicating with people
Ok, I grant that he is still quite self centred in his method of opposition, but at least he was balancing it out with killing Orks (which, come on, I don’t think anyone can oppose that)
His arc going into the siege is him realizing he cares about other things
He’s great but I feel like the community makes him out to be way nicer than he is
He loved all the killing and genocide
Yea this one is the real weird one, like, it would make a bit more sense if we actually saw him install very different styles of government but we don’t get that.
We have it explained pretty clearly, he figures that it’s better to work within the system than die for nothing fighting it
The primarchs are essentially MCU characters
Based and warlord pilled
But that never happens obviously
down to saying stupid ass one liners
people just love big dudes in bigger armor fighting stuff essentialyl which is fine
A ton of the primarchs had ideals to implement post crusade after the work was done
but it has slowly become the sole reason that globe-throts around the setting
you are slowly seeing it fold out rn lol
But that doesn’t happen because obvious reasons
Given the weirdness that Khan was originally meant to be corrupted by Slaanesh until a last minute switch, I also concede his love of conquest probably has killed a few more races or human societies than is strictly necessary at all.
Eh I ignore that whole “switch” thing
It’s not really clear and it’s dropped as soon as it’s mentioned
My point is just that people make the Khan out like he’s some nice dude
He’s not
He’s an asshole who loves mass killing and genocide.
But he is well written and cool
They definitely mostly dont
I mean, one of the Iron Man suits outright rips the design off Terminator Armour lol.
Also the Tartaros pattern looks like something Tony would actually design.
They definitely do

every fan almost looks up to loyalist primarchs as noble heroes
Lmfao
I’ve had to argue against people saying he’s somehow the bestest most moral primarch because people just read he don’t agreed with Big E and don’t read shit
I wouldn’t call Khan “nice”, but he certainly had more brains amongst the loyalist bunch.
Now, who wins the award for being made far nicer than actually is?
Vulkan
You have a guy, who would gleefully burn Eldar infants without a question
The thing is, people need to stop trying to pick some nicest dude
They’re little bitches who can’t accept the setting
They never will, its useless to even bring it up.
Stop trying to find out whose your bestest most moral dude
And somehow he is Super Nice…and yea, Primarchs are pretty much Demon Princes in Human Skin lol
The fans get the facts wrong 80% of the time
90% of the 30k/40k fanbase meatrides loyalist primarchs like they are spiderman or something lol
no
Yea Khan isn’t moral, but I do think he genuinely thinks a lot more. Or rather, at minimum, he is at least willing to be critical of the Imperium (even if he continues to genocide for it)
Most of the primarchs had plans post crusade
They just were getting the dirty work done
Some didn’t care at all and just did whatever
The Khan had a huge amount of arrogance and idea that he was better than the rest which kinda gets dissected during the heresy
He doesn’t have to be evil to do evil things
Or act evil or whatever
Guy had a Proto-Inquisition during Heresy era even before it was a thing.
Also, Horus sounds like a fucking groomer in Horus Rising
Banality of evil
He normalizes it
That's an imperium wide woe
Also, from a loyalist perspective…assuming Terra had fallen when it hasn’t
It is but he represents it especially imo
LMAO
Also there’s elements of, Guilliman for all his power and skills and abilities can’t make the Imperium better
Which led to the whole Secundus thing happening.
so many fucking morons think hes "improving" the imperium
its maddening
Ect.
he said himself hes only leading it atm de-facto because he has no other choice
Mfw the psychopath running the assasinorum knows the lore better
he has openly said he'd rather go full Klark Kent
Someone need to make an edit of this
and live on a farm somewhere
with Horus
Guilliman can’t do anything to fix it even if he tried
There’s too much rot already
"I've had my eyes on you, Garviel"
Because so many morons think “if people obeyed Guilliman everything gets fixed”, ignoring the fact that the people executing his orders are also flawed/have self interest etc. etc. (and nevermind constant wars knocking everything out of plan)
It’s an impossible system to fix
the Imperium's eventual fate has always been to crumble into warlord states/systems/sectors
idk why people ever think this setting will get wiped out lol
there will ALWAYS be a reason for the factions we know to exist
the primarchs will prob stick around until then and do their own thing with it
From what i've gathered he's just done and trying to hold together the shitstorm that is the Imperium by whatever means
And people simps for him
I mean, the fans
Ya, and that alone means very little time for actual political reforms to fix things.
Or education. Or standards or living.
[Insert Guilliman X Yvraine fanfic here]
The imperium will always die slowly
The coomers wins again!
and it will always be almost dead but never truly dead
Guilliman and Yvraine talk to each other like
twice
I know
and they barely tolerate each other
they talk more
You know, I actually think the Imperium (as political entity) will always exist, but the Imperial Creed will actually eventually die out.
When you have so many scattered Feudal bound sectors, it becomes nigh impossible to waste time to make sure everyone is worshipping the exact same way…
Tbf this is more times than most Grimdank users have talked to a girl
this is true
She means the setting isn’t gonna end
Obviously the Imperium could be destroyed and everyone wiped out if the setting progressed and they wrote that
True, but I just like looking at lore hypotheticals… 😅
It’s not happening became that’s the setting and also the timeframe
Age of Ligmar
As much as AoS advances stuff
40k is, by having so many factions, by default going to be an eternal stalemate.
They still got huge fucking realms and areas where it doesn’t matter ultimately still, all the factions can stick around still
That’s kinda the issue Fantasy ran into
It was a set world and they had done a bunch of stories up to the stroke of midnight and couldn’t advance stuff
Yea, the limited landmass of Fantasy constricts it far more.
Whereas 40k, there is always more of space
In both senses of the word
From a narrative point of view, every faction is powered by Dark Matter
Just shipping out entire sectors and planets out of thin air for everything needed
(Well, thin void)
Yeah 40k and AoS have much more room basically
Pretty much because this isnt a setting about lore, its about tabletop.
If they ever split the Imperium they will just ascend the Emperor to godhood and just keep imperial remnants with a ton of loyalist/renegade forces or whatever.
It makes the most sense on how people get to keep their armies while playing the game.
But this is like... almost 20-30 IRL years off
it will happen at some point
And Dan Abnett will novelize it
Probably lmao
its the same reason I hate the "if the Emperor dies the setting ends"
like... no
the writers will just go "well hes in the Warp now and has become the astronomican" or some shit
this is a setting literally built on excuses lol
again though this is WAY off in the future
If the emperor dies the imperium implodes(realistcally)
but that just sounds like
a big opportunity
for $$$
Lol
Lmao yep
Again this is a setting written around how people can make their toys fight.
After the Old World blew up people thought it was the end times IRL, GW will always find an alternative way and smooth it out.
I am already anticipating the Detachment previews for Agents
I’m interested
Yep
The Generic one is objective play focused which is
Hoping the rules are goood
literally never bad
lol
getting buffs while you're doing any objective is always good imo
Its the situational objective stuff that always sucks
Enhancement previews would be nice.
It would be great if, oh, I don’t know, generic Inquisitors can wear power armour again
(Even if you have to soak up an enhancement for it)
sentenced to not having a kit
I'm still annoyed we didn't get a multi part inquisitor
Same
And the saddest thing is
With the whole Primaris scale up thing going on now
Firstborn scaled Marines are actually perfect for normal human males in power armour now
But nnnnoooooo
Coteaz has to be a Big Boy with Big suit
Firstborn also fall into weird proportion territory
compared to SoB
or other power armored humans
In this sense
And only in this
I consider Deathwathc getting an absolute win
No horrendous Primaris scaling (yet)
wdym
I think the way primaris look is good
I think the only primaris minis I have an issue with their scaling is Belial
Oh right sorry, I misread.
Horrendous primaris scaling (not looking like manlets)
I do like DW veteran models though
But eh, if worst comes to worst and GW insists on keeping Inquisitors on Carapace, I might just get a Solar Aux and call it a day.
tbh
Inquisition has access to Good Shit(TM), they should have at least some suits of those void armour gathering dust somewhere…
we know they don't mind inquistors in power armor
from a like fluff standpoint at all lol
considering almost whenever one shows up in a story they have it
I think this is just a case of the only mini we have being old as shit and being carapace armor
Just use one of the named rules and a different model
Yea. If nothing else, I am hoping it being retired means GW expects everyone to start kitbashing…
Draxus moment

poor greyfax
I don't think she's ever been good since her release
Shout out to gw having to explain that you can still run deathwatch armies
Agreed, they aren’t even the OG one lol.
what being the moderate of the 3 named inqusitors does
The hardcore Puritan and Radical both have better rules smh
Fandom still reacting like it is the apocalypse lol
It’s big deal for the people who have armies still
Don’t really need people who don’t collect them telling people who do how to feel
yeah
It’s how it is is but it still sucks
Ok fair. I only dodged a bullet because I don’t run any Primaris things.
I’m more optimistic than most but people can be rightly upset or annoyed
also deathwatch fans need to stfu tbh
Special Detective vs A-10 Warthog
Space marine is a space marine is a space marine
Yeah i really dont care what happens to them either.
I had a deathwatch fanatic friend whos entire reaction was:
"Eh ill live"
lol
That’s my take but I get people being upset or annoyed by it
I kinda do but i think my sympathy is less because its reaching ridiculous points
Don’t really need the peanut gallery who it doesn’t affect commenting on it tbh
I mean as your general
Yeah but bully is funny
You get Artemis IIRC
dealing with braindead deathwatch fans who also spam "xenos scum" 24/7 moment btw
There’s always gonna be dorks, it doesn’t change my thoughts
I don’t think it does
I’ll probably just find a way to run it as a chapter with a Watchmaster leading
Because you can run an Inquisitor as a leader
the best option clearly
Oh wait yea Warlord Traits.
Would be nice to have a peek at those too.
One concern I have is because you can run these guys in a lot of armies
They’re not gonna want them to be good
Cause if say a Watchmaster is the best warlord for like four factions
worst case scenario curse of 250 point watchmaster outside of agents
But we’ll see
I’d at least like to see some ebb and flow to show the truly eternal stalemate, sides may gain power or territory but they won’t hold it forever
I think a lot of it will be buffing Warlord itself. So it doesn’t get too crazy.
I am looking forward to agents
Thats always gonna happen tho
And the inevitable new GKs Termies
i was just saying whats gonna basically happen to the Imperials
everyone else will practically remain the same
I’m sad imperium is getting another army
“Xenos scum” mfers when my xenos friends throw all the human slurs we have at them
But at least this one is cool
I am actually half tempted to find a Bretonnian Grail Lady as a Navigator stand in…
same boat as this yeah
the Inquisition needed a comeback after they got sidelined
and for once its not space marines again 
Well
Deathwatch are like 1 part of it
Sorts
so no
Grey Knights
give me your skin
Fake 40k fan
you've lost ordo malleus skin permissions
Name 47 Ordos

Just run Ordo Hereticus or RT detachment
If you are allergic to Marines
You don’t even have to
It’s not like you’re required to bring marines
It’s an option
True
I’m probably gonna do Xenos with DW, Scions, and Arbites, maybe a RT instead
No I mean I wanna see like for example, tau take a ton of sectors for a time, but then like necrons push them out in a huge counteroffensive because they breathed on a tomb world, but then the uh eldar fuck with the necrons to complete one of their random mguffin quests for mysterious reasons, I just want each faction to have hayday time in lore and get to see different large scale matchups over time
Obviously nothing gets destroyed
Well I got bad news for you
But all factions get promoted to sell their models in new and interesting ways
You need that for stuff to happen
Build an Agent army, but you swap detachment based on who you are facing and the battlefield
But I forgot what it was
there's a requisition system
And everyone gets to keep their factions
Damn
Pretty much yeah the status quo will be the same, the Imperium at large would still have loyalist elements but i can see GW introducing renegade elements because humans will be humans lol otherwise its just gonna be warlord stuff
Anyways Necrons have gotten a bunch of stuff recently with the Pariah Nexus
the Emperor will still be around, warp travel will remain the same, yada yada
or you can bring X points of Y
"recently"
💀
I mean it’s the latest campaign book
yeah
yeah but it sucks
How?
literally just necrons not being able to do anything because Imotekh is a moron
lol
because otherwise again
necrons will kill everyone
They’re both fighting eachother
I mean they do stuff lol
Not super large scale stuff, seems like a simple way to boost sales on less bought stuff by giving them time in the sun, by also bolstering enemy factions of the “main ones” by being like “grr, your enemy is on top rn, kill them”
That’s how it works
And Imperials just get to jab from the bottom because reasons.
lol
They get fucked up worse
If this is true, brood brothers died for nothing 
at least Orktarius ended up with nids winning i guess
No one won
I mean
Some guardsmen/marines getting gauss'd is not really "fucked up"
The Imperium didn’t definitely
I actually like this, it should be this for other factions more frequently
They literally destroyed worlds
Average GSC w
wow
I love their petty rivalries though, it’s so fun
Worlds dont matter
Ok so what should they have done?
Something more than just fucking infighting again, its the same shit every time lol
nothing super lore shattering happens in them generally
Omg- guys remember when that whole world blew up!!! Omg 40k is so dark
They'll just shit out as many as needed for incoming plots
mood tbh
Like shit happened, big conflict
pretty much this yeah, idk why expecting some good writing once in awhile is a bad thing.
Well yeah lol
Sorry if they didn’t blow up the galaxy I guess?
its just a bit meh
mostly because of how shit everything goes
It’s also not over
Not talking about the galaxy dingus

The only worlds that "matter" are Terra and the pebbles that used to be called Cadia
you're right Imotekh should be put in the cuck chair
They’ve set up Imotekh and Szarekh being opposed for awhile and we finally got to see it and why
yeah
Not like leviathan was much different, besides shitting on the poster children blue boys
And how they’re playing against one another
I know 💀
to be fair
leviathan was literally nothing
Crusade Leviathan had like
Cawl and the Ad Mech are borderline in the background
Is it shown in the animations?
no
It’s in the campaign book
Pariah Nexus just has generic ass imperial protags
Szeras is a 🤓
Aw damn, that’s why I don’t know
the child getting shot was funny tho
Cause I’m not buying that shit
As it should be
^
stuff lol
🤝
Pariah Nexus the show was whatever
We learned about how blanks got effected by the Funny field
What are the campaign books called?
It felt like an expensive super late commercial
Crusade: Pariah Nexus
Well they're OOP aside from Crusade: Pariah nexus
I’m going to “obtain them”
the uhhh
thats white dwarf innit
what's everyone's thoughts on hel crown getitngd estoryed
White Dwarf stuff started it mostly
hel crown?
Is white dwarf canon?
Yes
lol
it has plot relevant stuff in it
💀
Innit
(I am going to kill myself)
Archaon getting mogged by stones
expected it ngl
Sometimes it’s really dope lore too which is frustrating
Crusade: Tyrannic War
Crusade: Pariah Nexus
yeah skaven molly rocked the stormcast box
Overlord declaring an duel of honor between himself and the Imperiums warlord
also new art that isnt recycled jumpscare
Imperials just shoot him all
(tbh the stormcast half wasnt very good)
Necrons annihilate the planet in response because they're angry

Funny ass lore excerpt ngl
Ah damn, I think I’ll have to buy these from official channels
fans always vote for the “lololol what if these guys won” option
lol
The stormcast side sucks
compared to the Skaven one
not even like a question lol
But thankfully GW doesn’t make the conflicts matter much anymore for this stuff
Yeah because constant stalemates are fucking boring lol
also kinda
they sometimes do where one side gets entirely annihilated
just having played some spearhead games
the stormcast half had almsot no synergy, and was the counter pick chamber lmao
average stormchad moment
it really needed to come with an atrillery or osmething
Reminds me of these online card games where they have faction fights and the options for one side were clearly far and away better
70% big hitters lol
Makes you go “hmmm I wonder who they want to win”
idk how they play tested it
Hearthstone refrence
They didn't lol
fair
They didn’t care probably tbh
that measn the stormcast hafl will be cheap on ebay!
They tried to make them big and it turns out
where the Marine CP is much less coherent then the Nid CP
Random games aren’t a good way to write a narrative
Its appeared only in soulbound no?
So now they just do a little fun thing with a mostly unimportant location
I haven't read it in other books
it appeared off hand in a few books
Guh
like
guess I'm dumb
ltierally jstu saying the name
i think it was mentioned in the new callis and toll book?
but literally jsut mentions nothing big
besides soul boudn
I wouldn't call that mildly important personally
Damn, can’t find any they aren’t just the rules
Currently watching the US destroy the lame Pasta People in Beach Volleyball
damn it
but it had more lore then Ograhm or whatever
its better then 40k's random planet on the edge of the galaxy number 542
You’d think it’d be easy to find
Also Crusade Leviathan randomly dropped the lore that White Templars aren't Dorns kids
lol
they arenet?
It is when the material is a bit older
Hey it had lore. They had a Warhammer community article the day before the launch.
half the shit i got is pirated lol
I think the most intresting is the Breathern Moon giant fucking Tyranid flesh abomination
And my ass is not gonna buy it just for the fluff
Cant wait for that to get destroyed later
oh wow
since the Phalanx was orbiting their homeworld
and they needed to do some testing for stability issues
turns out its not Dorns lol
smh gw when is my chapter getting a lore update
I get most of my stuff from mothtrove, but it doesn’t have it
(my chapter is homebrew)
My favorite part of the Leviathan book was some random shield captain killing the Swarmlord in an excerpt offscreen. Felt so offhand and disrespectful.
It’s ok, it’s not bad
I see
Anna’s archive only has the kill teams
It’s not much but Nid stuff is always pretty basic
I think reading Indomitus was like
swarmlord, icon of khaine (or what ever its calle din 40k), drukhari
my biggest fucking mistake
Anyone here actually have the crusade books?
ilu griffith- i mean fulgrim but you cant choke lava to death
Not me
nope
that one was just wild tbh
The lore I will have for my Agents force is…it is, quite literally, an Inquisitor that gets sick of being brutal police agent, so he signs up with a Rogue Trader (with the pretence of “monitoring” them) that is actually a PMC that runs around fighting minor skirmishes that the Imperium bureaucracy fails to mobilize to care about.
jobbers: Swarmlord, Avatar of Khaine, Space Marine SGT. in terminator armor, Adeptus Mechanicus, Sisters of Battle, Celestine(poor celestine lol), Exodites
I can't think of anyone else
You made your inquisitor a cop?
honestly, you COULD, get palatine enforcers and run them as a planatery defense force in agents
No, but Inquisition job is pretty much state sec secret police…
Though the Mechanicus and Sisters of Battle
stopped being jobbers after they got codexes
It is a tempting conversion
they are the same abase size
The real worst jobber in the setting
lol
Is the Imperator Titan
LOL
and palatine enforcers and space cops have the sam equipment
not even a conversion tbh
excluding Dies Irae
its just a box
they don't fucking count
And he exists to die later
Palanite enforcers are in flak armor akshully 🤓
fuck you die die die die
It is in the name I guess
literally how cna you NOT run her as am inquistior
With Solar Aux armour.
But yes Palantine enforcers would be a good choice
she is perfect
Police brutality dog
Unfortunately she’s resin
police brutality gun
yeah but so is all of necromunda's characters
at least none of their full kits are
I know 
FW resin is
cyber mastiffs are apparently an optional unit too
i mean
model
wtf did the dog do
Still waiting for a Spyrer release
To hijack as a Rogue Trader
(Not the Orrus sadly)
why did gw break the necormunda section again
The new paint section kills me everytime
The old one was so good
you use send it in to go die
lol
you do not expect the poor dog to survive at all
dogs in Warhammer have kind of always just been cannon fodder
Or dogs in most of the world being real

I cannot think of a single dog in any interation of killteam or warhammer 40k thats been useful beyond go in and die
lore accurate i guess???
they are you meanie
Just wait until we get the titan Killteam
On the otherhand if by some miracle the Arbite dog survives a round of combat with a marine
it can bite onto the marines arm
and constantly cause damage
The Warhound will have revenge
until the dog dies lol
lol
heres all teh weapons in the basic paltaines kit
the average U.S police armory, based
PFf
Only 2 stub guns with flight lights is amusing for some reason
i ahve no clue why one kit is made into 3 different squads
for guys without helmets i guess?
Just an aesthetic thing also I think
Can I pet that daawwwwwggg
In AoS half the Cities Warcy team is dogs

Also, benefit is when they die in combat, good eating that night
<3333
They're adorable
Goodest of boys
the main guy has an ability where every dog does a shit laod of damage too
thats if you get it before eveyr animal in a 3 mile radius smells th eblood in ghur
LOVE HIMMMMM
homie fights a literal god and sics his dog on it
Spoilers: ||so sad he is dead||
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
||yea, unless hes not dead suddenly lol||
dude used a literally starter club to kill a god, talk about a G
||but there is a rare random encounter where you fight a ghoul and a dog||
yea
could b e worse i guess 💀
let me double check tho
I love houndmaster
||ITS WORST THE DOG IS NAMED||
Bountyhunter also takes the cake
About to take his life to fight a chaos god
I think its funny how much more evil they made her look
All he says is "Hm."
