It’s likely only Grendyl himself can actually tell her what to do, and by extension Rannick and even then they’re probably not ordering her around.

crystal forum
#

i bought the special edition krieg book and i'm prepared for disappointment

#

is it even a new book

dusk patrol
#

If it’s not the Vraks book

#

Then no

#

Krieg and Dead Men Walking are pretty old

#

DMW more so

crystal forum
#

are they ok

storm jungle
#

even Korps fans have admitted it

dusk patrol
#

Dead Men Walking is better imo

crystal forum
#

better than bad at lesst

storm jungle
#

the flashbacks are like the only "ok" part and the flashforwards are very bad

dusk patrol
#

Krieg I didn’t love

crystal forum
#

i'm just getting it because might as well get one special guard book in my lifetime

storm jungle
#

Im being very generous

#

knowing you you'll either like it or hate it

#

lmao

#

Vraks though is just awful

paper haven
#

Never read Vraks.

storm jungle
#

it takes some actual talent to make one of the best conflicts in 40k a snoozefest

#

Lyons more or less like

#

condenses everything in the war

#

and skips everything cool about it

crystal forum
paper haven
#

All I know is Krieg larpers call it the best day ever and the alpha legion did some shenanigans.

storm jungle
#

Tyborc also gets recruited by Inquisitor Sextor Rex at the end which is pretty funny

crystal forum
#

literally the best part of the siege if vraks is how it details an entire militarum siege with every detail

arctic talon
#

Hector is my favorite OC

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

Let me get my long ass review of it

crystal forum
#

when will guard writers learn that krieg fans are history nerds who love strategy

dusk patrol
#

I don’t think Lyons wanted to write it tbf

paper haven
#

They play HOI4 for fun

dusk patrol
#

He wrote a bit about doing it and he didn’t seem enthused

storm jungle
#

^

#

I forgot the interview but like he very much seemed super uncaring

#

its not an excuse however lol

arctic talon
#

I’m sure it printed money

storm jungle
#

we get a book about Vraks after all these years and he fucks it up

crystal forum
#

at least it shuts up the fans

arctic talon
green loom
#

He wrote dead men walking so he has to write the rest is prolly the Geedubz ethos

#

And he went like

#

"oh shit, money"

storm jungle
#

Heres my friend's review of it

#

its pretty good

dusk patrol
#

Why we can’t get a Pandorax style book on Vraks

storm jungle
#

Because we need more mcguffin hunting slop

#

where plot twist

#

everyone dies at the end

dusk patrol
#

Damn didn’t see that coming

rocky gale
#

Oh I just noticed it's the same author for both of the new Sororitas books

#

Jude Reid wrote both Daemonbreaker and the Vahl book

arctic talon
#

Ye

rocky gale
#

That's cool

dusk patrol
#

Not surprising, they try to keep the same authors for the same factions if they can

paper haven
#

Oh, he thought the guy cosplaying as a krieger was weird too. I like this guy.

dusk patrol
#

I like Vahl so I might check it out

#

Depends if the author makes her interesting though, and considering Vahl is like 22

#

Not a lot of interesting 22 year olds

#

But she does have a mech suit so that helps

crystal forum
#

22 in 40k?

#

that's like a baby

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Statistically 22 year olds with mech suits are 14% more likely to be interesting

arctic talon
#

She explicitly got chosen because the ecclisarchy thought she’d be young and impressionable lol

plush mason
#

not every important character is like 800 something years old, just most of them lol

dusk patrol
#

It did not work out

crystal forum
#

eisenhorn straight up glosses past his 30's between the first and second chapter lol

arctic talon
#

They were incredibly incorrect lol

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

And she has basically ignored the ecclisarchy

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Well

#

It’s backfired horribly for them politically

#

Their goal was to have an extra puppet on the high lords

dusk patrol
#

Coincidentally high lords body pillow merch saw record breaking sales shortly after her induction

arctic talon
#

Now they have someone who doesn’t give a shit about them + actively opposes them on some things lol

plush mason
#

i guess Vandire taught them nothing, which is to be expected

crystal forum
#

the thing with 40k is the older somebody or something is, the more powerful they are. so you always end up with like chief inquisitor greyfuck who's 140 years old

rocky gale
#

Yea they wanted a puppet who'd stay on Terra and follow orders, instead they got a Joan of Arc who told them to fuck off and called a Crusade

arctic talon
#

If we ignore the part he could probably snap someone’s fucking spine instantly lol

dusk patrol
#

SoB exist to keep the ecclissarchy in check which is why they try to have a sympathetic High Abbess

plush mason
dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

Greyfax is close

#

Lol

#

girl you need some eyeliner

arctic talon
#

Murder first beauty later

dusk patrol
#

Too busy slaying daemons and #slaying

#

Imagine being a timeless being from the dawn of time, neverborn, and you get your ass kicked by some 22 year old fanatic.

plush mason
#

the machine gun shield still gets me, like it looks so goofy yet its one of the most practical weapons i have seen in 40k

storm jungle
#

Vahl's mech is deffo better than the actual suits

#

they look like shit

#

lmao

#

prob because hers has actual drip

arctic talon
#

Vahl has the superior nundam

storm jungle
#

cuntdam at this point

#

also people need to read her short story, its funny

crystal forum
#

looks better than the grey knight baby carrier

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

The normal ones need more drip

#

Imo

#

But they don’t look bad

dusk patrol
#

I don’t hate them but hers is definitely the best

storm jungle
#

Yeah the idea is just not executed well

dusk patrol
#

They need more bulk

storm jungle
#

it feels like

#

a mini from the older editions

#

but we are in 2024

#

lol

plush mason
dusk patrol
paper haven
#

Damn that was a long-ass review

crystal forum
#

i get it's part of the style but the lack of armour is 😤

arctic talon
#

It is shielded with a refractor field

dusk patrol
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

And there’s a helmet option

shadow plover
#

the drape on top of the legs makes her one look better

storm jungle
#

half of his words are basically mine lmao

shadow plover
#

the smaller ones need one as well

paper haven
#

Yeah, that tracks

arctic talon
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

They look much better

dusk patrol
#

Hers is just bigger

paper haven
#

At least it's well thought out.

dusk patrol
#

Has more bulk and all that

arctic talon
#

Yeah the arms being bulkier helps

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

I think bulkier arms + the cloak

crystal forum
#

i just bought the hardcover krieg book to whip it out whenever a krieg fan calls me a fake guard lover

arctic talon
#

Would make the basic ones look even better

#

Why vox

crystal forum
shadow plover
#

the other nundams aren't that much smaller, they just lack the drip

dusk patrol
#

lol

crystal forum
#

otherwise i just wasted a lot of money on paper

dusk patrol
#

Green stuff is your friend

arctic talon
#

They’re less drippy + thinner arms

shadow plover
#

true enough

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

They all have helmet options if you want

#

Which is nice

#

Bad image but

crystal forum
#

can we talk about how they ruined arbites in the agents set

plush mason
#

i hate how so many characters in 40k go bare headed into battle

dusk patrol
#

Did they ruin Arbites?

crystal forum
#

they turned arbites into a generic guard unit

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

It’s the same set

arctic talon
#

Generically

plush mason
#

like it works in a fantasy setting, not in a sci fi with snipers

crystal forum
#

yeah and it sucks that they're just infantry

#

they're elite soldiers

arctic talon
#

They have 3+ BS/WS

dusk patrol
#

I never really enjoy helmetless dudes but it’s also just the aesthetic

arctic talon
#

That’s elite stat wise for hitting stuff

dusk patrol
#

That being said I never do it cause I don’t like it and also I’m a bad painter so faces can go fuck themselves

arctic talon
#

Arbites are still elite

#

Agents is just a shit codex lol

#

It’s not well thought out

crystal forum
#

cant wait for GW to reveal some new cadian unit for guard codes

arctic talon
#

Rumors are krieg

crystal forum
#

it's 100% going to be cadian

arctic talon
#

Based on a rumor engine

dusk patrol
#

Krieg, probably Catachan soon

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

We literally saw part of the krieg command squad flag

dusk patrol
#

Hopefully Elysians

arctic talon
#

It’s highly likely to be krieg

crystal forum
#

ok

arctic talon
#

Then catachan

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

So GW can round out the range

storm jungle
#

Mods ban this racoon creature

plush mason
arctic talon
#

Depends

crystal forum
#

elysians would be so good

dusk patrol
#

I’ve heard tell the mods around here are pretty lame ngl

arctic talon
#

Some stuff is well thought out

#

Some stuff

#

Isn’t

plush mason
#

thats what i mean yeah

arctic talon
#

Agents never should have been turned into an army the way GW did it

crystal forum
#

catachan would be sweet too but do people even buy those models

plush mason
#

some of the stuff is great others not so much

dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t be shocked if this Killteam is partially an exploration of people’s interest in a Elysian rollout

storm jungle

#

They were never attached to militarum

#

What are you talking about

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

couldn't you use agents with militarum?

plush mason
arctic talon
crystal forum
#

oh

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

They just have their rules for their own army as well

#

Which suck

crystal forum
#

they should be attached to militarum

arctic talon
#

Because they feel like they got written in like 15 minutes

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

astartes should be attached to militarum

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

As opposed to the wanted cancer?

arctic talon
#

I wish the catachan colonel wasn’t limited time

#

He’s a very nice mini

#

straken?

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

Nah the cigar guy

arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

He’s too old for this shit

dusk patrol
#

I gaslit myself

#

He doesn’t have a cigar

crystal forum
#

he should retire to catachan and spend his time peacefully hunting extremely deadly fauna

dusk patrol
#

But he should

arctic talon
#

He feels like he’d be chopping on one

arctic talon
#

Fun fact he has an alternate head

dusk patrol
#

One more and he’s done

crystal forum
#

1 tour til retirement

dusk patrol
#

Too old for this shit

crystal forum
#

too old for this shit

dusk patrol
#

His muscles have muscles

crystal forum
#

the armour is just there to cover his muscles

#

he is impervious to bullets

arctic talon
#

For a catachan refresh I’d expect, command squad, colonel, infantry squad, hwt

crystal forum
#

btw is there a model for AAAAAAAAAA

arctic talon
#

Maybe catachan devils

I always love “normal” guard with powefists

Yes

He’s a smart Ogryn

Harker has to be at least 1/16th ogryn

Constructed abnormally

they are all big as hell

dusk patrol

He ran out of ammo and grabbed a heavy bolter

arctic talon

Also they’ll prolly beat you half to death

#

For calling them part ogryn

plush mason

ofc

dusk patrol

Half?

That’s optimistic

More like 99% of the way there

Sly marbo being allowed to move everytime he shoots is hilarious

Along with the if anyone near him gets shot he shoots back and moves

even the indentured servitude guys

Although I wouldn’t mind it

arctic talon

Votann are on their 4th killteam

if only they dont up the price again

If anyone wants the new SG

Lol

arctic talon

The leak was BA Captain, 2 units of Sang guard and the new Death Company

arctic talon
#

Huh

rocky gale
#

Which is very odd for a Combat Patrol

arctic talon
#

That’s

#

That’s really fucking elite

#

For a combat patrol

rocky gale
#

They rarely put new models into Combat Patrol

arctic talon
#

That’s like over 600 points with current point values

Lol

rocky gale

But the Sang Guard and Captain have been confirmed

It's great

I mean, look at the Cities of Sigmar Spearhead and then look at the Guard Patrol

#

Only one squad of Steelhelms

But na I like the Guard Patrol

#

It's cool

arctic talon
#

GW seems incapable of making a good horde army starter box

#

Is what I would say if the fucking skaventide one didn’t exist

#

Lol

rocky gale
#

Cities is a horde army and it's Spearhead has like 17 models in it

crystal forum
#

money

rocky gale
#

Then Lumineth which is a fairly elite army has like 26 models

arctic talon
#

It’s very schizophrenic

#

I did not enjoy playing against the skaven spearhead

#

Thing is actually a nightmare to fight

crystal forum
#

i saw a theory that they just put whatever model they have an excess of

#

but i doubt they work that way

My friends got Fyreslayers and I'm scared to face the horde of naked gingers

are they fighting in a meadow of clown grass or something

you guys think we'll ever get a plasma pistol or hand flamer in darktide?

dusk patrol
#

Probably eventually

crystal forum
#

still waiting on my melta gun

dusk patrol
#

Probably more an execution issue with that

#

It needs to be powerful but can’t be too power and the niche it would fill is kinda weird

crystal forum
#

tbh the plasma gun acts like a melta gun rn

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

if it was more explosive

dusk patrol
#

It’s hard to find a place for the melta, but I hope we get it

#

Same with a Ogryn heavy bolter/autocannon

crystal forum
#

ogryn heavy bolter would definitely have a use

#

just neeeeed autocannon

#

i want a reload animation with the drum

celest dome
#

Autocannon could be a Semi auto anti armour weapon

#

Though known Autocannon for Ogryn:

#

"Six/Twelve" Mauler Cannon - An adaptation unique to the Spinward Front of the Calixis Sector, the Mauler Cannon is actually a modified, twin-barrelled M34 Autocannon designed specifically for use by Ogryns. Rebuilt with a heavier frame, shorter barrels, a fire-limiter, larger handholds, and a triple harness capable of withstanding an Ogryn's strength, the Mauler Cannon gives Ogryn units an enormous boost to their firepower. Sadly Mauler Cannons have picked up the nickname "Six/Twelve" by regular guardsmen, referring to the number of shots an Ogryn will likely fire before they somehow break it or decide to use the weapon as a club.

opaque coyote
#

Also if I were to ask

Generally, if you were a guardsman sent against the Imperium's enemies.

What would be the worst deployment for a guardsman?

#

I think in terms of the top 3

  1. Drukhari
  2. Slaanesh
  3. Nurgle
#

The Drukhari and Slaanesh Daemons/CSMs/cultists will not simply just kill you. They will do unspeakable things to you. With the bare minimum being flaying you alive.

I put Slaaneshi just a bit below because you can join them. You wouldn't want to, but the option is there. For Drukhari, nah they're most likely gonna just make you into a couch.
If fighting against either, volunteer to use a plasma gun. Not because it will help. But because it's the most effective way to destroy your brain if you feel like you're likely gonna get captured. It's hard to recover melted goop.'

#

For Nurgle, well, for one. Poxwalkers are a thing

#

And unless if you're willing to join him. You will likely suffer from diseases that are made to make the victim suffer as long as possible

storm jungle
#

Also to be honest all 3 of these are horrible, it kinda falls into a "pick your poison" dilemma KEKW_ogryn

dusk patrol
#

Immaterial, I can quickdraw my laspitol and blow my brains out the same for all three

storm jungle
#

big mood tbh

opaque coyote
#

Honestly idk whether Necrons or Khorne would be worse

storm jungle
#

Unless its Flayed Ones necrons literally just kill you

#

same with Khorne

#

they see dying in battle as the greatest honor they can give to enemies they respect and face

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

you will be dead after Stab 1 or Stab 2 its fine

winter vessel
#

Dying to those affiliated with Khorne is my top pick were I shoved on a battlefield fighting chaos. Nurgle would give me different types of psoriasis conditions I wasn’t aware of, Tzeentch would just turn me into a living rubix cube. And Slaanesh would CENSORED my CENOSORED and shove a CENSORED until I split in half

I’d like to propose guardsmen is also terrible. If you win, you are a traitor, if you lose, you are a traitor

#

And the imperium has plenty of punishments

Guard vs guard

Guard vs admech might be the worst via inter imperium conflict

Virtually all factions in 40k would suck to fight, for the ones mentioned though it’s much much worse and a lot try to actively capture you

#

Most just kill you

It would be nightmarish to fight Ad Mech or most loyalist marines but mostly they’ll just kill you

I’d like to mention I think GSC is the only main faction that uses net guns still

Drukhari and Slannesh are actively trying to capture you often and keep you alive for a long time

#

Bigger Pox hordes, be aware for voice line queues from special enemies, especially the footsteps of a crusher. And if you start hearing the D host speaking in tongues, I’d advise not shooting until you’re clear of the area.

Least favorite penance/stage effect?

fallen plaza
#

I like most stage effects

#

Though I confess I don't think I've seen all of them

#

None of them I hate, at worst I find them mid

opaque coyote
#

I think my least favorite one is the one where they release just

#

A bunch of dogs

fallen plaza
#

ie most darkness levels and pox

opaque coyote
#

"Killed one dog, well here comes another dog to maul you!"

fallen plaza
#

It's not really that bad tbh

#

Dogs are easy to deal with

opaque coyote
#

I'm just thankful Obese Shark hadn't added one where it's all trappers

opaque coyote
#

No

fallen plaza
opaque coyote
#

If there was a trapper and Erebus in the room, with only one bullet.

I wouldn't even be able to shoot cause the trapper would've already ran away, shot through a wall, and trapped me under their net

fallen plaza
#

It is kinda annoying how enemic hound patrols are

fallen plaza
#

Because if your decent, they pass you by

opaque coyote
fallen plaza
#

At least in a team sense, not individually

opaque coyote
#

But it is satisfying

#

Kinda makes me wish it was more explosive sometimes

#

But that's just me wanting to just

fallen plaza
#

Much more funny

opaque coyote
#

DAKKADAKKADAKKA

opaque coyote
#

immediately explodes towards their own men

#

Pushing Pox Bursters are funny

fallen plaza
#

So it works

#

I find it more satisfying to use it on crushers if it weren't such a waste to use it on them I'd do it more

fallen plaza
#

Yea bolter

crystal forum
#

good thing we have plot armour

fallen plaza
#

I still find it a waste on them

opaque coyote
#

Still wish that weird iron sights bug was fixed

fallen plaza
#

This is why I only hipfire

crystal forum
#

on tabletop imagine a single guardsman killing like 40 cultists with an autogun

opaque coyote
opaque coyote
#

Dw

crystal forum
#

mfw the tabletop is the realistic version

opaque coyote
#

Also quite disappointed that we never see anything like

Normal Guardsmen vs SMs

#

In media at least

arctic talon
#

we do

opaque coyote
#

We do?

arctic talon
#

in books all the time

#

well

#

not all the time

#

but a decent bit

opaque coyote
#

Oh nice

arctic talon
#

there's books with imperial infighting

#

Nachmund for example

#

literally has a crusade of black templars slaughter an entire regiment of guardsmen

#

during the funny imperial civil war portion

opaque coyote
#

Still though, would be interesting if other media had more infighting

arctic talon
#

There is

#

a lot of it

crystal forum
#

or astartes book

arctic talon
#

Imperial infighting is like

crystal forum
#

or any book at all

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

oh

#

well in that case uh

crystal forum
#

astartes regularly shoot guardsmen

opaque coyote
#

But yeah I should read more

arctic talon
#

Idfk

#

The rule books like imperial infighting

#

because it gives a narrative excuse

#

for you to run Imperium V Imperium stuff

crystal forum
#

cadians shooting ultramarines is lore accurate trust me

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

I mean its written in an intresting way

#

so I don't mind

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

Nachmund is hilarious in that one paranoid guard officer fucks it all up

#

gets executed by a comissar

#

causes the Eldar to leave as allies and for the Imperium to start murdering each other

crystal forum
#

actually you can probably literally write a cadian vs ultramarine fight as fog of war thing where both sides dont even realize they're allies

arctic talon
#

very good job random Guard officer

#

you really fucked it up smarf

#

I forgot if he was a company commander or a castellan

#

either way he was a Cadian

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Only to realize

#

"Oh I'm playing Darktide"

crystal forum
#

cadians fucking it up for everybody

opaque coyote
#

When I miss with the boltpistol ads

opaque coyote
#

Eating chips

crystal forum
#

the bolt pistol shoots faster when aiming no?

#

also that fanning revolver is peak

#

kill all elites in my radius

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

Yeah that must've been chaos

#

Not literally but

#

You get the point

crystal forum
#

i want to shoot more heretics

#

with autoguns

#

also the scion helmet makes a really cool voice filter

fallen plaza
#

Auto guns are fun yeah

opaque coyote
#

I just wish for a video game where you play as a Chaos cultist or something

crystal forum
#

i dont even recognize my voice actor

#

the voice filter is that cool

arctic talon
#

but not on the like

#

reason why the backstabbing happened

crystal forum
#

i want louder and more ammo

#

i might have ork genes

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

shooting bullets at heretics makes me feel strong emotions

#

are sisters of battle supposed to not enjoy burning heretics

#

how the fuck do you not become slaanesh oriented when you're spewing raw prometium at your enemy

#

that shit makes me rock hard

fallen plaza
crystal forum
#

im talking about the super gravely one

fallen plaza
#

Yes

#

That obe

crystal forum
#

bruh

#

i love it

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

the what

fallen plaza
#

Chud pattern nerdgun

opaque coyote
#

I think it was in the Necromunda videogame

#

Eh whatever

#

The Veteran should get a regular Heavy Stubber

#

I like dakka

crystal forum
#

did somebody try to write panther and fucked it up

#

say vpanther out loud

#

dumbest sounding name ever

arctic talon
#

Its meant to sound stupid

#

its necromunda

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

this is the same hiveworld where Rich kids in giant murder suits hunt poor people for sport

crystal forum
#

it's in the damn class images

#

GIVE ME LARGE WEAPON

arctic talon
#

Necromunda also has my favorite idea for a mercenary ever

#

constantly thirsty so they literally hunt down people for the water in their body

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

also their suit can suck out water from people

opaque coyote
arctic talon
crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

Mmmm

#

Nah that sounds more like Ogyrn material

crystal forum
#

just vomit bolter rounds

#

i hate storm bolters

crystal forum
#

also why do these rich kids have better equipment than sisters of battle

#

arbites should be looking into this

#

and i DARE you to kill an arbites

#

actually

#

what are arbites doing on necromunda

fallen plaza
#

Still waiting on the 2handed power sword to release so i can complete my kruber cosplay

crystal forum
#

power fist

#

punching heretics

fallen plaza
#

F!sting is 300 aquilas

opaque coyote
#

The model should look like it was just

crystal forum
#

heavy bolter i approve

opaque coyote
#

Ripped off of it's stand

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

Also the Spryer suits are really rare

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

i feel like arbites on nercomunda have a whole guard regiment size of manpower

arctic talon
#

Only the rich people + like

#

Specific ones

crystal forum
#

ready to just take over the planet in case shit goes bad

arctic talon
#

Specifically rich people ahve them

queen laurel
arctic talon
queen laurel
#

I don't expect it to be you know something like a centurion warsuit or a terminator

arctic talon
#

its downside is its big

#

its loud

#

and they're really rare

crystal forum
#

so astartes would take them down easily

arctic talon
#

and some asshole with a melta or rocket launcher can always kill you easily

#

lol

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

the primary use rn

queen laurel
#

And it seems the suit is capable of having a lot of it

arctic talon
#

is uh

#

the nobles are sending their kids

#

to go murder genestealers

#

with Van Saar lol

crystal forum
#

for fun?

arctic talon
#

no

queen laurel
#

To get rid of competition

arctic talon
#

so the genestealers stop making ground

#

So the rich kids are actually doing something important for once

queen laurel
#

Occupy your kids to have something to do and they won't worry about trying to dethrone you

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

also to hunt for archeotech

opaque coyote
#

It does have a interesting feature though

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

self repair and upgrading yeah

queen laurel
#

Just a human ones

arctic talon
#

its really weird armor

queen laurel
#

Because they have s*** like centurion

#

And terminators

opaque coyote
# queen laurel I don't include space marine power armor

"However the most important feature of the hunting rig is their power boosting system. As the wearer fights and gains experience in combat, the hunting rig will adapt and evolve to suit the wearer by increasing power to certain systems, unlocking previously unavailable abilities and new potential as the hunt continues."

winter vessel
#

Have There ever been records of an Imperial noble/planetary governor that had an ounce of kindness, and wasn’t a complete ass?

opaque coyote
#

Also it can self repair

#

Like

#

It can literally self repair

fallen plaza
#

Powerfist with bolter mounted on it when fatshart

arctic talon
#

Those rich kids sure as shit aren't having a good time

#

or maybe

#

they're having the time of their life

#

but genestealers fight back more then poor people

#

and gangers

opaque coyote
queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

Some rich kids love the challenge

#

Some don't

arctic talon
#

Point being its very funny

#

that the rich kids went from slaughtering poor people for fun

#

to actually doing something that matters

crystal forum
#

oh great so hunting rigs come from "offworld" so we have no idea who makes them

opaque coyote
queen laurel
#

Oh definitely

#

It's definitely something you would love to have

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Yeah

fallen plaza
arctic talon
#

but like its not just hunting random poor people now

opaque coyote
#

So killing Jeanstealers probably gives them a gold star

crystal forum
opaque coyote
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

it also could just be

#

straight xenotech

crystal forum
#

xeno tech is like dark age tech except more fancy

arctic talon
#

either way

#

whatever or whoever is making the hunting rigs

#

is mysterious

opaque coyote
#

Maybe a failed aspirant

crystal forum
#

no that would require astartes using anything that isn't bog standard

opaque coyote
#

That decided

#

"Alright, Geneseed won't work, and my legs are now fucked. Fine then. I'll do it myself."

arctic talon
#

Would be fun for a necromunda bounty hunter

#

Tbh

#

Since the fists recruit from munda

crystal forum
#

custodes flexing his muscles in the corner while he convinced a hive gang to fight for the imperium

opaque coyote
#

Sounds really fun

#

Especially since like I posted earlier

fallen plaza
opaque coyote
#

It adapts to the user

arctic talon
#

I was talking about for the tabletop

crystal forum
#

i like the idea of custodes being spies but just convincing people to be good

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Necromunda is like

#

The second cheapest skirmish game on the market

queen laurel
#

Cheap by warhammer standards

arctic talon
#

💀

opaque coyote
#

But yeah it just sounds fun in general.

Video game and tabletop

arctic talon
#

You literally just need 2 boxes

#

And you’re done

opaque coyote
queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Yeah that’s the issue

opaque coyote
#

And I am too nervous to ask my friends

arctic talon
#

Well

#

It’s more expensive then killteam

opaque coyote
#

Because they're not interested

#

In warhammer

arctic talon
#

Killteam is just a single box

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Necromunda or killteam could def be adapted as video games

opaque coyote
#

Because like I said. The suit literally adapts to you which gives an excuse for perks

#

You're a rich kid fr

arctic talon
#

As in like strategy games

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

But also necromunda already got an fps

#

Lol

opaque coyote
#

Could've definitely done more with it tho

#

But I get why they didn't

#

Still sucks that most 40k games

#

Suck

queen laurel
opaque coyote
queen laurel
#

But you know those games are

#

Rather mid

opaque coyote
#

Tzeentch fucking cursed us maj

dusk patrol
#

Deathwatch XCOM game ripoff please

arctic talon
#

Btw

queen laurel
#

People not liking it was a good enough boom that i heard it

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

i dont think GW will ever adapt killteam to game 1:1 because then why would people buy the tabletop

opaque coyote
#

Garbage

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

Just something intresting based on it

#

I think killteam the tabletop game is like

opaque coyote
#

I mean even Warhammer Fantasy got more bangers

arctic talon
#

One of the best skirmish games ever made

#

By far

#

And it’s not even close

crystal forum
#

because i'd buy that shit instantly

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

like imagine a fun 45 minute game

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

with cool killing animations

arctic talon
#

I think the best adaptation would be make it grid based

#

Make melee even more lethal

crystal forum
#

like those mobile games

arctic talon
#

Make ranged combat more lethal

crystal forum
#

the turn based ones

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Have more defensive options

#

If melee combat happens in a kill team video game

crystal forum
#

just 2 player online matchmaking

arctic talon
#

I want one of the people to always die tbh

#

Lol

crystal forum
#

choose your faction

#

scions etc

arctic talon
#

The tabletop game is almost that way

#

But it’s not nearly as explosive

#

Also people get to have their lore accurate marines or whatever lol

opaque coyote
#

Playing as a Spyrer sounds fun.

Imagine it being a rogue-like

Each new attempt is just another rich kid lmao

arctic talon
#

Marines are genuinely scary in killteam

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Some basic rifle guy can literally tear some melee specialists in half

#

Same with Orks and Eldar

crystal forum
#

i like how krieg in killteam is just expendable units

arctic talon
#

They’re really fun

crystal forum
#

and yet they're all top of the line

#

so fucking good

arctic talon
#

Super high skill

#

Position focused

#

Play smart

#

Use your resources well

#

And you’ll win

crystal forum
#

i cant wait to play by myself

#

in scion box

arctic talon
#

And unlike most teams they don’t worry about plasma

#

They worry about high volume of fire

#

Which ironically makes the ork team one of their worst matchups

#

💀

crystal forum
#

i wonder what a valhallan one would be like

#

even more expendable

#

just more units but shit

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

they had to make the scion one a drop pod themed since kasrkin already had the normal scion vibe

opaque coyote
#

They just have extreme self hatred passed down by cilture

arctic talon
crystal forum
#

which means we'll never get an elysian killteam

arctic talon
#

We could

#

For a hit and run styled team

#

Since 5+ saves

#

Scions got a 4+ and more wounds

#

They’re a 10 man not a 13 man

crystal forum
#

killteams are all elite troops tho

opaque coyote
#

Fair enough

arctic talon
#

The dkok killteam is a generic team

#

It fits all the regiments to an extent

crystal forum
#

people act like krieg is special for having a high death rate

#

most guard regiments only promote but survival lol

arctic talon
#

There’s a reason it’s called killteam veteran guardsmen

crystal forum
#

if you survive long enough you become sergeant

arctic talon
#

And not killteam death korps of krieg

opaque coyote
#

Not as much as some people say

#

But

crystal forum
#

they absolutely do

opaque coyote
#

Yeah

crystal forum
#

they die by the thousands

opaque coyote
#

Kriegers are special in that they're a bit excited to die

#

A bit

crystal forum
#

smh

#

valhallans do it better

#

and they dont hide behind armour

opaque coyote
#

Also gas masks

#

Gas masks are cool

crystal forum
#

winter coats!

#

even better drip

#

ushankas are peak fashion

arctic talon
#

Either way I think the only regiments now that’ll get their own killteam are elysians and catachan

#

I think the rest of the popular regiments

#

Can fit into the current one rules wise

crystal forum
#

are elysians really that popular

arctic talon
#

Quite

crystal forum
#

they got removed ages ago

arctic talon
#

They’re one of the big boys

crystal forum
#

their theme sucks

#

they're just diet cadian

arctic talon
#

They’re drop troops smh

#

They aren’t generically good

crystal forum
#

that's their entire fucking culture

#

drop troop

#

what the fuck is that about

#

who cares

#

just make a drop troop cadian company

arctic talon
#

Because it’s cool and fun

#

You can drop sentinels

crystal forum
#

they suck

#

their lore sucks

#

their theme sucks

fallen plaza
crystal forum
#

it's literally tabletop bait

fallen plaza
#

Still

crystal forum
#

if they come back they need a proper theming

fallen plaza
#

New sentinel varient

crystal forum
#

we got 2 new ones with auxilia

fallen plaza
#

And only one is good

crystal forum
#

you dont like stumpy sentinel and sentinel lite?

fallen plaza
#

The big goofy one

crystal forum
#

no the small one is peak

#

i love it

fallen plaza
#

The small one sucks because it doesn't match the theme of the auxilia

crystal forum
#

it's like a heavy weapon squad on legs

#

it's so goofy

fallen plaza
#

Solar aux vehicles shouldn't be open topped

crystal forum
#

yes they should

fallen plaza
#

They are meant to ensure the harsh environment

crystal forum
#

solar auxilia literally have enclosed fighting suits

fallen plaza
#

That's why there artillery looks weird to begin with

crystal forum
#

their artillery looks weird because they had to find an excuse to not have chimera in 30k

#

pretend medusa doesnt exist
