No you'll now don a generic picture of a bleached roman statue and say white supremacist things

queen laurel
#

There is a difference

pine wedge
#

true, bulgur is just an honest, organic, freerange, homegrown, common clay of the new west type of dumbass.

#

I can vouch for that.

raven stone
#

I do believe Ork Fans would be less politically affiliated...if no less trolling and aggressive lol.

like actual Orks

green loom
fallen plaza
#

I associate a lot of ork fans with redditors

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

40k is mainly aimed at kids/teens

pine wedge
storm jungle
#

so you are entirely correct

fallen plaza
#

The type to say waagh out loud in a game

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

its why i love it when adult fans are like "NOOO I WONT ALLOW MY SETTING TO BE KIDIFIED"

green loom
pine wedge
#

oh maybe it is then

#

I haven't seen that movie but maybe I got the phrase from the internet quoting it

#

lol

green loom
#

"the common clay of the new west, you know, morons"

queen laurel
pine wedge
green loom
raven stone
storm jungle
#

Honestly its not that hard lol

#

Warhammer Adventures kinda proved it

#

and it has a kid get disintegrated

green loom
storm jungle
#

dab

fallen plaza
#

Good riddance

storm jungle
#

also one thing adults never fucking understand

#

Kids love violence

#

idk why they try to assume like they dont lol

queen laurel
#

Dumb kid brains love violence like no other

green loom
#

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

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

And I zone out of the action slop

green loom
#

"WOMEN???? In my TOY SOLDIERS?????"

fallen plaza
#

I hate reading fights in books

queen laurel
#

You remove that and this setting is going to go down faster than a meteorite

green loom
#

Okay but actually like

#

"it's good as long as it doesn't go against lore"

#

What fucking lore though

fallen plaza
#

You fight in comics and movies, not books

green loom
#

Book 3 that says X, book 12 that says Y, or book 8 that says Z

fallen plaza
#

Most people that say that mostly quote codexs

green loom
#

Yeah because the purpose built flavour text books are always un-embellished

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

looks like my dad

green loom
raven stone
#

It's funny how they treat 40k story like actual real life history

pine wedge
raven stone
#

It isn't like we can dig stuff up to prove it.

pine wedge
#

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

queen laurel
pine wedge
#

because of the violence

fallen plaza
#

I just prefer they keep a guideline with what they estimablish visually

pine wedge
#

big dudes powering up and kicking the shit out of each other even harder by yelling?

#

hell yeah dude

fallen plaza
#

That is what to tell any turk

storm jungle
#

idk what that means

#

lemme dial it up

green loom
rocky gale
#

He's hitting you with a Battle of Didgori reference

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

and that man is a hero in this house

green loom
#

God I love the folks sperging out about female custodes

storm jungle
#

Same, and its still going too

#

everyone has moved on

#

lmao

green loom
#

"The SILENT MAJORITY REJECTS this DESECRATION of LORE"

storm jungle
#

said silent majority that is the 95% of the fandom that just plays minis

pine wedge
green loom
#

Literally most upvoted post on r/ImaginaryWarhammer

tough haven
#

Yeah but necrons at least can have the tech to maybe deal with them, everyone else is fucked when necrons pull out their pokeball

queen laurel
# storm jungle lmao

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

tough haven
#

And even more so if they get out

queen laurel
#

I love the realization that wait the rules are bad but why are there women here

tough haven
storm jungle
#

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

queen laurel
#

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

crystal forum
#

barely having any stake in a community yet getting outraged when stuff happens

tough haven
#

So true

storm jungle
#

To be fair

#

its basically every fandom

#

GEORGE LUCAS KILLED MY CHILDHOOD!!!

#

Meanwhile Dexter Jetster

rocky gale
#

Dexter Jettster is literally the best addition to Star Wars

crystal forum
#

definitely up there with jar jar

green loom
#

Primaris literally killed my dog under orders from GW REEEEEE

storm jungle
#

LMFAO

queen laurel
#

Can the fan base in this setting for once complain about something totally understandable to complain about

storm jungle
#

no

#

well okay

#

Coteaz was one exception

green loom
#

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)

storm jungle
#

The fact that hes still getting death threats/hatemail is crazy

#

ITS BEEN LIKE 20 FUCKING YEARS

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Damn is a swear word?

storm jungle
#

Damn means christianity exists in star wars!!!!!!

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

people more or less blame him for largely the faults the studio placed on him as the writer in the codex credits.

queen laurel
#

still though some people are too crazy

storm jungle
#

remember

#

the incident with him is entirely why GW doesnt credit the teams behind making codexes and other game content anymore

queen laurel
#

damn

tough haven
#

And therefore the most people to complain

crystal forum
#

can you imagine ork players getting mad that a gargant model is missing a small chunk of metal

fallen plaza
#

I would

tough haven
#

Fr fr

queen laurel
fallen plaza
#

Because if there isn't enough metal, it not strong enough

tough haven
#

Tbh

#

I’d be like “oh cool, it’s randomized”

fallen plaza
#

Needs more armor

tough haven
#

Nah just needs more dakka

#

It’z dead ‘ard already

rocky gale
queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Auspex Tactics usually does videos quite regularly about it

queen laurel
rocky gale
#

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

queen laurel
#

Seems orks aren't doing so well in the meta right now

shell mason
#

what's the ward situation?

arctic talon
#

I doubt GW is gona touch them

tough haven
tough haven
#

It is a skewed set of data

#

They’re datasheets are not good enough to get nerfed, it’s just experience

rose thorn

The pretty boy curse 😭

tough haven
queen laurel
tough haven
#

Die I guess

green loom
#

You hope you're the protagonist

young pecan
#

The 40k writers are like a divine presence

#

If you suddenly feel special and fleshed-out, you're good

rose thorn
celest dome
#

Gloomspite are nice

rose thorn
#

I have flesh eaters and gloomspite, I plan to either get cities or darkoatj

rose thorn
#

For second place

Order: stormcasts or Sylvaneth
Chaos: tzeentch
Death: nighthaunt (which I have)
Destruction: Kruleboyz

#

(Which I have)

queen laurel
#

yeah i basically like the entirety of destruction

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

The seconds being Bonesplitterz and Kruleboyz

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

For my self lmao

#

You can run it in any order or destruction

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Actually might get a gate breaker- one of the two

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

so it really depends on what you want them to do

rose thorn
#

Kraken
Gate
Beast
War
Brodd (who isn’t merc)

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

And all can be in destruction

celest dome
#

Kharadron
Gloomspites
Bloodbounds
Nighthaunt

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I have the magazine

#

It’s worth for the models but that’s it

queen laurel
#

and a good chunk of the factions don't need to use monsters

tough haven
green loom
#

Generally it doesn't matter

#

Depends on author intent

tough haven
#

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”

crystal forum
plush mason
#

clearly didnt have enough faith: the next lord inquisitor after him

raven stone
#

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!?"

arctic talon
tough haven
raven stone
plush mason
#

||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||

rose thorn
#

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

tough haven
tough haven
#

Also my character would have no way to know that it works for sure and the risk is too great to chance it

raven stone
#

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.

tough haven
#

And again, there’s no way to guarantee the timeless star god won’t get out eventually, they’re pretty pissed and determined

tough haven
#

Cause I’m curious to see the differences

raven stone
tough haven
#

Btw can you agree with calcazar and then just turn around and kill him for hurting Pasqual’s feelings?

tough haven
raven stone
#

That…I am not sure about.

tough haven
#

I thought it was warp spawned from one of calcazars experiments

raven stone
#

Hm…I haven’t touched the game in a while so that detail kind of escapes me at the moment.

tough haven
raven stone
tough haven
#

Do you decide what happens with the shard after?

storm jungle
#

Yes.

#

You can get a few endings from how you taught Nomos about life as well

dense dawn
#

Nobody expects the imperial inquisition

rose thorn
#

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

dusk patrol
#

That’s basically what agents is

#

You could easily play it as a RT army

storm jungle
#

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"

arctic talon
#

Tbh

#

You could even reflavor the inquisitorial retinue as like

#

A rogue trader one

storm jungle
#

Yeah all it takes is a paint scheme

#

lol

raven stone
#

…y’know it just struck me

#

How GW writing is still a wee bit unbiased and imbalanced.

#

Why?

arctic talon
#

Because imperial factions sell more books

raven stone
#

Notice how all the loyalist Primarchs have wholesome or sane adoptive families

arctic talon
#

Oh

#

For that?

#

Fulgrims family was sane and normal

#

Same with Perturabo

#

And magnus

raven stone
#

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.

arctic talon
#

Perturabo’s father genuinely like

#

Loved him

#

Fulgrims family seemed normal

#

Magnus’s father also loved him

raven stone
#

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.

arctic talon
#

angron, lorgar and Mortarion all got a very short end of a stick

arctic talon
#

He ended up okay

raven stone
#

True

arctic talon
#

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

storm jungle
#

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

raven stone
#

There is a reason why Khan is my fav loyalist Primarch.

dusk patrol
#

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

raven stone
#

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)

dusk patrol
#

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

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

We have it explained pretty clearly, he figures that it’s better to work within the system than die for nothing fighting it

storm jungle
arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

But that never happens obviously

storm jungle
#

down to saying stupid ass one liners

#

people just love big dudes in bigger armor fighting stuff essentialyl which is fine

dusk patrol
#

A ton of the primarchs had ideals to implement post crusade after the work was done

storm jungle
#

but it has slowly become the sole reason that globe-throts around the setting

#

you are slowly seeing it fold out rn lol

dusk patrol
#

But that doesn’t happen because obvious reasons

raven stone
# dusk patrol He *loved* all the killing and genocide

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.

dusk patrol
#

Eh I ignore that whole “switch” thing

#

It’s not really clear and it’s dropped as soon as it’s mentioned

storm jungle
#

Its pretty good and fits if it actually happened.

#

yeet

dusk patrol
#

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

storm jungle
raven stone
dusk patrol
#

They definitely do

storm jungle
#

nah

#

its just "HES SO AWESOME"

#

"OMG HE SAID THE FULGRIM IS GAY JOKE"

hallow plover
storm jungle
#

every fan almost looks up to loyalist primarchs as noble heroes

dusk patrol
#

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

raven stone
#

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

dusk patrol
#

The thing is, people need to stop trying to pick some nicest dude

#

They’re little bitches who can’t accept the setting

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Stop trying to find out whose your bestest most moral dude

raven stone
#

And somehow he is Super Nice…and yea, Primarchs are pretty much Demon Princes in Human Skin lol

hallow plover
#

The fans get the facts wrong 80% of the time

storm jungle
#

90% of the 30k/40k fanbase meatrides loyalist primarchs like they are spiderman or something lol

dusk patrol
#

Just pick what’s cool

#

Anyways

storm jungle
#

no

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

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

hallow plover
#

Can you blackpill me on Guilliman ?

#

He seemed like a OK guy in Dark IMperium

dusk patrol
#

The Khan had a huge amount of arrogance and idea that he was better than the rest which kinda gets dissected during the heresy

dusk patrol
#

Or act evil or whatever

raven stone
hallow plover
#

Also, Horus sounds like a fucking groomer in Horus Rising

arctic talon
#

He normalizes it

hallow plover
#

That's an imperium wide woe

raven stone
#

Also, from a loyalist perspective…assuming Terra had fallen when it hasn’t

arctic talon
#

It is but he represents it especially imo

dusk patrol
#

Also there’s elements of, Guilliman for all his power and skills and abilities can’t make the Imperium better

raven stone
#

Which led to the whole Secundus thing happening.

arctic talon
#

Ultramar is shown as like a “perfect” example

#

Ignore the servitors, slavery

storm jungle
#

its maddening

arctic talon
#

Ect.

storm jungle
#

he said himself hes only leading it atm de-facto because he has no other choice

arctic talon
storm jungle
#

he has openly said he'd rather go full Klark Kent

hallow plover
#

Someone need to make an edit of this

storm jungle
#

and live on a farm somewhere

hallow plover
#

with Horus

arctic talon
#

Guilliman can’t do anything to fix it even if he tried

#

There’s too much rot already

hallow plover
#

"I've had my eyes on you, Garviel"

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

It’s an impossible system to fix

storm jungle
#

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

hallow plover
#

And people simps for him

#

I mean, the fans

raven stone
#

Or education. Or standards or living.

hallow plover
#

[Insert Guilliman X Yvraine fanfic here]

arctic talon
#

The imperium will always die slowly

hallow plover
#

The coomers wins again!

arctic talon
#

and it will always be almost dead but never truly dead

#

Guilliman and Yvraine talk to each other like

#

twice

hallow plover
#

I know

arctic talon
#

Ship Gulliman and Eldrad

hallow plover
#

and they barely tolerate each other

arctic talon
#

they talk more

hallow plover
#

What about the REAL romance

#

Guilliman X Felix

arctic talon
#

LOL

raven stone
dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

this is true

dusk patrol
#

Obviously the Imperium could be destroyed and everyone wiped out if the setting progressed and they wrote that

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

It’s not happening became that’s the setting and also the timeframe

arctic talon
#

Age of Ligmar

dusk patrol
#

As much as AoS advances stuff

raven stone
#

40k is, by having so many factions, by default going to be an eternal stalemate.

dusk patrol
#

They still got huge fucking realms and areas where it doesn’t matter ultimately still, all the factions can stick around still

hallow plover
dusk patrol
#

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

arctic talon
#

Fantasy felt even more 1 hour from midnight then 40k

#

somtimes

raven stone
#

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)

dusk patrol
#

Yeah 40k and AoS have much more room basically

storm jungle
#

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

hallow plover
#

And Dan Abnett will novelize it

storm jungle
#

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

arctic talon
#

If the emperor dies the imperium implodes(realistcally)

#

but that just sounds like

#

a big opportunity

#

for $$$

#

Lol

storm jungle
#

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.

arctic talon
#

Endtimes fucking sucked lore wise

storm jungle
#

Better prepare for Round 2

raven stone
#

I am already anticipating the Detachment previews for Agents

dusk patrol
#

I’m interested

arctic talon
#

We already know there's one for each ordo and a generic one

#

iirc

raven stone
#

Yep

arctic talon
#

The Generic one is objective play focused which is

raven stone
#

Hoping the rules are goood

arctic talon
#

literally never bad

#

lol

#

getting buffs while you're doing any objective is always good imo

#

Its the situational objective stuff that always sucks

raven stone
#

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)

arctic talon
#

sentenced to not having a kit

#

I'm still annoyed we didn't get a multi part inquisitor

raven stone
#

Same

arctic talon
#

and we got a peeled 1e stormcast

#

lol

raven stone
#

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

arctic talon
#

meh

#

Coteaz also just has shit proportions

#

lol

raven stone
#

Coteaz has to be a Big Boy with Big suit

arctic talon
#

Firstborn also fall into weird proportion territory

#

compared to SoB

#

or other power armored humans

raven stone
#

In this sense

#

And only in this

#

I consider Deathwathc getting an absolute win

#

No horrendous Primaris scaling (yet)

arctic talon
#

wdym

#

I think the way primaris look is good

#

I think the only primaris minis I have an issue with their scaling is Belial

raven stone
#

Oh right sorry, I misread.

dusk patrol
#

Horrendous primaris scaling (not looking like manlets)

arctic talon
#

because my god belial is fucking huge

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

I do like DW veteran models though

raven stone
#

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.

arctic talon
#

tbh

raven stone
#

Inquisition has access to Good Shit(TM), they should have at least some suits of those void armour gathering dust somewhere…

arctic talon
#

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

dusk patrol
#

Just use one of the named rules and a different model

raven stone
#

Yea. If nothing else, I am hoping it being retired means GW expects everyone to start kitbashing…

arctic talon
#

Draxus moment

#

poor greyfax

#

I don't think she's ever been good since her release

dusk patrol
#

Hereticus Smereticus

#

Lamest Ordo always

#

Diet Malleus

arctic talon
#

Draxus and Coteaz have always overshadowed her lol

#

rules wise

rose thorn
#

Shout out to gw having to explain that you can still run deathwatch armies

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

Maybe if she spent less time simping

#

And more time clobbering heretics

arctic talon
#

what being the moderate of the 3 named inqusitors does

#

The hardcore Puritan and Radical both have better rules smh

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

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

arctic talon
#

yeah

dusk patrol
#

It’s how it is is but it still sucks

raven stone
#

Ok fair. I only dodged a bullet because I don’t run any Primaris things.

dusk patrol
#

I’m more optimistic than most but people can be rightly upset or annoyed

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Special Detective vs A-10 Warthog

storm jungle
#

BRUH

#

💀

rose thorn
#

Space marine is a space marine is a space marine

storm jungle
#

Yeah i really dont care what happens to them either.

#

I had a deathwatch fanatic friend whos entire reaction was:

#

"Eh ill live"

#

lol

dusk patrol
#

That’s my take but I get people being upset or annoyed by it

rose thorn
#

I hope you can run the watch captain as your hq

#

But that’s it

storm jungle
#

I kinda do but i think my sympathy is less because its reaching ridiculous points

dusk patrol
#

Don’t really need the peanut gallery who it doesn’t affect commenting on it tbh

rose thorn
#

I mean as your general

raven stone
storm jungle
#

dealing with braindead deathwatch fans who also spam "xenos scum" 24/7 moment btw

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

I wonder if the named characters will get a mandatory warlord clause

dusk patrol
#

There’s always gonna be dorks, it doesn’t change my thoughts

arctic talon
#

because if you don't

#

there's some funny things you can do potentially

rose thorn
#

I don’t think it does

dusk patrol
#

I’ll probably just find a way to run it as a chapter with a Watchmaster leading

rose thorn
#

Because you can run an Inquisitor as a leader

storm jungle
#

the best option clearly

raven stone
#

Oh wait yea Warlord Traits.
Would be nice to have a peek at those too.

dusk patrol
#

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

#

we know they're being priced seperately

#

so

dusk patrol
#

Cause if say a Watchmaster is the best warlord for like four factions

arctic talon
#

worst case scenario curse of 250 point watchmaster outside of agents

dusk patrol
#

But we’ll see

tough haven

dusk patrol
#

Absolute worst case

#

I just play them as a chapter

rose thorn
#

Run navigator as your general

dusk patrol
#

I am looking forward to agents

dusk patrol
#

And the inevitable new GKs Termies

storm jungle
#

i was just saying whats gonna basically happen to the Imperials

#

everyone else will practically remain the same

rose thorn
#

I’m sad imperium is getting another army

tough haven
rose thorn
#

But at least this one is cool

raven stone
storm jungle
#

the Inquisition needed a comeback after they got sidelined

#

and for once its not space marines again KEKW_ogryn

dusk patrol
#

Well

storm jungle
#

Deathwatch are like 1 part of it

rose thorn
#

Sorts

arctic talon
raven stone
#

Just run Ordo Hereticus or RT detachment

raven stone
#

If you are allergic to Marines

dusk patrol
#

You don’t even have to

#

It’s not like you’re required to bring marines

#

It’s an option

raven stone
#

True

arctic talon
#

Jokaero

#

new monkey sculpt

dusk patrol
#

I’m probably gonna do Xenos with DW, Scions, and Arbites, maybe a RT instead

tough haven
# storm jungle Thats always gonna happen tho

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

dusk patrol
#

Well I got bad news for you

tough haven
#

But all factions get promoted to sell their models in new and interesting ways

dusk patrol
#

You need that for stuff to happen

rose thorn
#

I wonder how you run non agents models on an agents army

#

They said there was a rule

raven stone
#

Build an Agent army, but you swap detachment based on who you are facing and the battlefield

rose thorn
#

But I forgot what it was

arctic talon
tough haven
#

And everyone gets to keep their factions

arctic talon
#

but they didn't elaborate

#

beyond that

rose thorn
storm jungle
# tough haven Obviously nothing gets destroyed

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

arctic talon
#

I'd assume its an X% of army

#

can be this

dusk patrol
#

Anyways Necrons have gotten a bunch of stuff recently with the Pariah Nexus

storm jungle
#

the Emperor will still be around, warp travel will remain the same, yada yada

arctic talon
#

or you can bring X points of Y

arctic talon
#

they just got something like

#

last release cycle

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

I mean it’s the latest campaign book

arctic talon
#

yeah

storm jungle
#

yeah but it sucks

dusk patrol
#

How?

storm jungle
#

literally just necrons not being able to do anything because Imotekh is a moron

#

lol

#

because otherwise again

#

necrons will kill everyone

dusk patrol
#

They’re both fighting eachother

arctic talon
#

I mean they do stuff lol

tough haven
# dusk patrol You need that for stuff to happen

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”

dusk patrol
#

That’s how it works

arctic talon
#

I thought it was decent

storm jungle
#

lol

dusk patrol
#

They get fucked up worse

rose thorn
storm jungle
#

at least Orktarius ended up with nids winning i guess

dusk patrol
#

No one won

arctic talon
#

I mean

dusk patrol
#

The Imperium didn’t definitely

arctic talon

no one won Crusade pariah nexus

Ok so what should they have done?

arctic talon

genuinely

its a campaign book lol

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

nothing super lore shattering happens in them generally

rose thorn
#

Omg- guys remember when that whole world blew up!!! Omg 40k is so dark

hallow plover
#

They'll just shit out as many as needed for incoming plots

dusk patrol
#

Like shit happened, big conflict

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Crusade Pariah Nexus is more fun looking at it as a dark comedy

#

tbh

storm jungle
#

Well yeah lol

dusk patrol
#

Sorry if they didn’t blow up the galaxy I guess?

storm jungle
#

its just a bit meh

arctic talon
#

mostly because of how shit everything goes

dusk patrol
#

It’s also not over

arctic talon
#

for everyone involved

#

lol

storm jungle
hallow plover
#

The only worlds that "matter" are Terra and the pebbles that used to be called Cadia

arctic talon
#

you're right Imotekh should be put in the cuck chair

storm jungle
#

damn

#

harsh

dusk patrol
#

They’ve set up Imotekh and Szarekh being opposed for awhile and we finally got to see it and why

arctic talon
#

yeah

tough haven
dusk patrol
#

And how they’re playing against one another

storm jungle
#

I know 💀

storm jungle
#

leviathan was literally nothing

arctic talon
#

Crusade Leviathan had like

Pariah Nexus the show was whatever

Well they're OOP aside from Crusade: Pariah nexus

White Dwarf stuff started it mostly

storm jungle

hel crown?

arctic talon
#

And also like

#

white dwarfs

hallow plover
#

Is white dwarf canon?

arctic talon
#

Yes

storm jungle
#

yes

#

Funny ass lore excerpt ngl

tough haven
storm jungle
#

Uh i think you can find some PDFs

#

google just incase

dusk patrol
#

fans always vote for the “lololol what if these guys won” option

storm jungle
#

lol

arctic talon
#

compared to the Skaven one

#

not even like a question lol

dusk patrol
#

But thankfully GW doesn’t make the conflicts matter much anymore for this stuff

storm jungle
#

Yeah because constant stalemates are fucking boring lol

#

also kinda

#

they sometimes do where one side gets entirely annihilated

arctic talon
#

just having played some spearhead games

rose thorn
#

the stormcast half had almsot no synergy, and was the counter pick chamber lmao

arctic talon
#

it feels like an uphill battle with the stormcast side

#

lol

arctic talon
#

I am fighting for my fucking life

#

against those goddamn jezzails

rose thorn
#

it really needed to come with an atrillery or osmething

arctic talon
#

Stormcast side genuinely has no big hitters

#

skaven side is like

dusk patrol
#

Reminds me of these online card games where they have faction fights and the options for one side were clearly far and away better

arctic talon
#

70% big hitters lol

dusk patrol
#

Makes you go “hmmm I wonder who they want to win”

rose thorn
#

idk how they play tested it

arctic talon
rose thorn
#

fair

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

^

#

Its like leviathan

dusk patrol
#

GW really doesn’t care much about these events

#

It’ll mean nothing

rose thorn
#

that measn the stormcast hafl will be cheap on ebay!

dusk patrol
#

They tried to make them big and it turns out

arctic talon
#

where the Marine CP is much less coherent then the Nid CP

dusk patrol
#

Random games aren’t a good way to write a narrative

arctic talon
#

which is impressive

#

since both sides are pretty fucking incoherent lol

rose thorn
#

to be honest helcrown has appeared in books

#

and was mildly important

#

(mildly)

arctic talon
#

Its appeared only in soulbound no?

dusk patrol
#

So now they just do a little fun thing with a mostly unimportant location

arctic talon
#

I haven't read it in other books

rose thorn

#

Guh

rose thorn

like

arctic talon
#

guess I'm dumb

rose thorn
#

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

arctic talon

I wouldn't call that mildly important personally

half the shit i got is pirated lol

arctic talon

And my ass is not gonna buy it just for the fluff

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

lol

rose thorn
#

oh wow

arctic talon
#

since the Phalanx was orbiting their homeworld

#

and they needed to do some testing for stability issues

#

turns out its not Dorns lol

rose thorn
#

smh gw when is my chapter getting a lore update

tough haven
rose thorn
#

(my chapter is homebrew)

dusk patrol
#

My favorite part of the Leviathan book was some random shield captain killing the Swarmlord in an excerpt offscreen. Felt so offhand and disrespectful.

arctic talon
#

Iron Angels 💀

#

I have not heard good things about the Leviathan book

#

ngl

dusk patrol
#

It’s ok, it’s not bad

arctic talon
#

I see

tough haven
#

Anna’s archive only has the kill teams

dusk patrol
#

It’s not much but Nid stuff is always pretty basic

storm jungle
#

Its alright for lore

#

its just basic and goes nowhere

arctic talon
#

I think reading Indomitus was like

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

my biggest fucking mistake

storm jungle
#

"heroic imperials stand against the alien tide" shit

#

usual stuff

tough haven
#

Anyone here actually have the crusade books?

rose thorn
#

ilu griffith- i mean fulgrim but you cant choke lava to death

Not me

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.

arctic talon
#

I can't think of anyone else

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Celestine is the Imperiums #1 jobber

#

she's immortal so

#

time to die

rose thorn
#

honestly, you COULD, get palatine enforcers and run them as a planatery defense force in agents

raven stone
arctic talon
#

Though the Mechanicus and Sisters of Battle

#

stopped being jobbers after they got codexes

rose thorn
#

they are the same abase size

dusk patrol
#

The real worst jobber in the setting

arctic talon
#

lol

dusk patrol
#

Is the Imperator Titan

arctic talon
#

LOL

rose thorn
#

and palatine enforcers and space cops have the sam equipment

dusk patrol
#

There’s nothing else that hasn’t gotten to win

#

Once

arctic talon
#

Imperator Titans literally die like

#

in every apperance

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

excluding Dies Irae

rose thorn
#

its just a box

arctic talon
#

they don't fucking count

dusk patrol
#

And he exists to die later

arctic talon
#

Palanite enforcers are in flak armor akshully 🤓

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

Dies Irae dies in the first book they show up in

#

lol

rose thorn
#

they have special flak armor

#

that makes htem have a 4+

dusk patrol
raven stone
#

But the most insane conversion

#

Is to have you Rogue Trader outfit her own PMC

rose thorn
#

literally how cna you NOT run her as am inquistior

raven stone
#

With Solar Aux armour.

dusk patrol
#

But yes Palantine enforcers would be a good choice

rose thorn
#

she is perfect

#

wtf did the dog do

raven stone
#

Still waiting for a Spyrer release

#

To hijack as a Rogue Trader

#

(Not the Orrus sadly)

arctic talon
#

the dog is cannon fodder just like in killteam

#

next question

rose thorn
#

why did gw break the necormunda section again

arctic talon
#

idk

#

their new website sucks lol

#

the dog is kind of useful in killteam

rocky gale
#

The new paint section kills me everytime

arctic talon
#

because of the bite attack but like

#

who gives a shit

rocky gale
#

The old one was so good

arctic talon
#

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

storm jungle
#

not much different from war dogs IRL tbh

#

💀

dusk patrol
#

Or dogs in most of the world being real

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

I cannot think of a single dog in any interation of killteam or warhammer 40k thats been useful beyond go in and die

storm jungle
#

lore accurate i guess???

arctic talon
#

this is excluding shit like fleshhounds

#

those things are not dogs

#

💀

storm jungle
#

they are you meanie

dusk patrol
#

Just wait until we get the titan Killteam

arctic talon
#

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

dusk patrol
#

The Warhound will have revenge

arctic talon
#

until the dog dies lol
