i bought the special edition krieg book and i'm prepared for disappointment
is it even a new book
If it’s not the Vraks book
Then no
Krieg and Dead Men Walking are pretty old
DMW more so
are they ok
Krieg is a pretty boring book
even Korps fans have admitted it
Dead Men Walking is better imo
better than bad at lesst
the flashbacks are like the only "ok" part and the flashforwards are very bad
Krieg I didn’t love
i'm just getting it because might as well get one special guard book in my lifetime
Im being very generous
knowing you you'll either like it or hate it
lmao
Vraks though is just awful
Never read Vraks.
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
is it focused on the strategic level or is boring ass character stories
All I know is Krieg larpers call it the best day ever and the alpha legion did some shenanigans.
Tyborc also gets recruited by Inquisitor Sextor Rex at the end which is pretty funny
literally the best part of the siege if vraks is how it details an entire militarum siege with every detail
Hector is my favorite OC
It literally covers nothing about the actual war, logistics, planning, the enemy POV, the overall effects of it, any other character etc, its just some Krieg characters and one boring priest lady
for fuck's sake
Let me get my long ass review of it
when will guard writers learn that krieg fans are history nerds who love strategy
I don’t think Lyons wanted to write it tbf
They play HOI4 for fun
He wrote a bit about doing it and he didn’t seem enthused
^
I forgot the interview but like he very much seemed super uncaring
its not an excuse however lol
I’m sure it printed money
we get a book about Vraks after all these years and he fucks it up
at least it shuts up the fans
He wrote dead men walking so he has to write the rest is prolly the Geedubz ethos
And he went like
"oh shit, money"
Heres my friend's review of it
its pretty good
Why we can’t get a Pandorax style book on Vraks
Because we need more mcguffin hunting slop
where plot twist
everyone dies at the end

Damn didn’t see that coming
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
Ye
That's cool
Not surprising, they try to keep the same authors for the same factions if they can
Oh, he thought the guy cosplaying as a krieger was weird too. I like this guy.
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
Literally one of the weirdest parts of the book for me
Statistically 22 year olds with mech suits are 14% more likely to be interesting
She explicitly got chosen because the ecclisarchy thought she’d be young and impressionable lol
not every important character is like 800 something years old, just most of them lol
It did not work out
eisenhorn straight up glosses past his 30's between the first and second chapter lol
They were incredibly incorrect lol
It is a plot point that her age is extremely unusual
And she has basically ignored the ecclisarchy
tbf isnt that like the norm for the ecclisarchy
Well
It’s backfired horribly for them politically
Their goal was to have an extra puppet on the high lords
Coincidentally high lords body pillow merch saw record breaking sales shortly after her induction
Now they have someone who doesn’t give a shit about them + actively opposes them on some things lol
i guess Vandire taught them nothing, which is to be expected
Fadix prolly is hot 
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
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
If we ignore the part he could probably snap someone’s fucking spine instantly lol
her haircut sucks
SoB exist to keep the ecclissarchy in check which is why they try to have a sympathetic High Abbess
i hate the fact "greyfuck" is a totally possible name for an inquisitor
I don’t think she’s really that concerned with her look
girl you need some eyeliner
Murder first beauty later
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.
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
Vahl's mech is deffo better than the actual suits
they look like shit
lmao
prob because hers has actual drip
Vahl has the superior nundam
looks better than the grey knight baby carrier
also true
I don’t hate them but hers is definitely the best
Yeah the idea is just not executed well
They need more bulk
where do her legs go?
Damn that was a long-ass review
i get it's part of the style but the lack of armour is 😤
It is shielded with a refractor field
In the legs
He wrote it straight after we bitched about the book for an hour
And there’s a helmet option
the drape on top of the legs makes her one look better
half of his words are basically mine lmao
the smaller ones need one as well
Yeah, that tracks
I see a lot of kitbashes with the drapes added tbh

They look much better
Hers is just bigger
At least it's well thought out.
Has more bulk and all that
Yeah the arms being bulkier helps
He did apologise at several points for it basically turning into a rant post but i cant blame him
I think bulkier arms + the cloak
i just bought the hardcover krieg book to whip it out whenever a krieg fan calls me a fake guard lover
How often has this happened
my hope is it eventually will
the other nundams aren't that much smaller, they just lack the drip
lol
otherwise i just wasted a lot of money on paper
I’ve seen some conversions of them which help
Green stuff is your friend
They’re less drippy + thinner arms
true enough
the one in the far back with the helmet on looks good
can we talk about how they ruined arbites in the agents set
i hate how so many characters in 40k go bare headed into battle
Wdym
Did they ruin Arbites?
they turned arbites into a generic guard unit
A lot of them have helmet options
It’s the same set
You could already run arbites in any list
Generically
like it works in a fantasy setting, not in a sci fi with snipers
I never really enjoy helmetless dudes but it’s also just the aesthetic
That’s elite stat wise for hitting stuff
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
Arbites are still elite
Agents is just a shit codex lol
It’s not well thought out
cant wait for GW to reveal some new cadian unit for guard codes
Rumors are krieg
it's 100% going to be cadian
Based on a rumor engine
Krieg, probably Catachan soon
Stop whining!!!!
We literally saw part of the krieg command squad flag
Hopefully Elysians
It’s highly likely to be krieg
ok
Then catachan
i WISH
So GW can round out the range
Mods ban this racoon creature
that seems like the general thing with 10e
Depends
elysians would be so good
I’ve heard tell the mods around here are pretty lame ngl
thats what i mean yeah
Agents never should have been turned into an army the way GW did it
catachan would be sweet too but do people even buy those models
some of the stuff is great others not so much
I wouldn’t be shocked if this Killteam is partially an exploration of people’s interest in a Elysian rollout
if the set will have big muscular women they will
The old ones no, the newer ones yes
they were better attached to militarum
There’s a reason Catachan range is still around
couldn't you use agents with militarum?
yes, make the incels run screaming
You can use agents with any imperial army
oh
Mfer those are the dorks buying it
they should be attached to militarum
Because they feel like they got written in like 15 minutes
You can if you want
astartes should be attached to militarum
every community has its unwanted cancer
As opposed to the wanted cancer?
straken?
yes
Nah the cigar guy
Nah Straken wasn’t limited time
he should retire to catachan and spend his time peacefully hunting extremely deadly fauna
But he should
He feels like he’d be chopping on one
He’s on his last mission
Fun fact he has an alternate head
One more and he’s done
1 tour til retirement
Too old for this shit
too old for this shit
His muscles have muscles
For a catachan refresh I’d expect, command squad, colonel, infantry squad, hwt
btw is there a model for AAAAAAAAAA
I always love “normal” guard with powefists
does he have rules
Yes
damn that's actually a good mini
He’s decent
also 40k mac10
why is the plant from little shop of horrors next to the ork head?
Catachan plant
Catachan
venus fly traps dont come from a movie
oh right
Poor Ork didn’t know what hit him
a very docile plant
that's probably a whole ass warboss too knowing marbo
that aint no venus fly trap
It’s THE Ripper put some respect on its name
silenced auto pistol with man stopper rounds smh
so thats what a ripper looks like
erm it's actually an autopistol
I’d love a new Harker model too
I called it an auto pistol
Different ripper
Are you blind smh
need more ripped women
It’s just a named one
You need more bitches
The Ripper is one of the names of all time though

"humans cant handle bolters"
man with heavy bolter:
custodes on vacation
i feel like that is true for most of the people of Catachan
guy makes astartes look weak
He also just did that one day
No they’re like 1/32th ogryn smh
they are all big as hell
He ran out of ammo and grabbed a heavy bolter
ofc
sly marbo has already killed you and you dont know it
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
catachan killteam would be so fucking good
Harker is also part of Strackens Devils regiment which are basically the elite of the elite for Catachan
I will scream if we get another guard kill team this set
fuck you
Please just once per season
no
I can’t take it if it’s fucking twice per season
nobody cares about xenos and astartes
GW Deathwatch Killteam please

GW should finish
The kill team index first lol
So every faction has a bespoke team
me checking the GW finance report
nah it was half true
put me in charge of GW planning and i'll sink the company in a day
Lol
all guard
the xeno half was correct
Oof
Hey now people like xenos just not the xenos army you want
warhammer 11th edition, presented with valhallans
no one at GW does
Now that
nobody asked but you're getting it anyways

And we’re not getting Mordians
Killteam 5 years down the line
elysians even less
even the indentured servitude guys
Although I wouldn’t mind it
Votann are on their 4th killteam
you win by paying real money
I can literally see a future where the factions without a bespoke team still don’t have teams
Which is horrid
what does bespoke even mean
They be spoking
Having actual rules
bees poke
Preview Warcom article confirms there's going to be two squads of the new Sanguinary Guard and the new BA Captain in the new combat patrol
It means “fancy”
That combat patrol is gona be good value at least lol
Well
if only they dont up the price again
If anyone wants the new SG
It’ll still be good value bcs sang guard are most likely going to be insanely high points
Lol
Yeah
The leak was BA Captain, 2 units of Sang guard and the new Death Company
Huh
Which is very odd for a Combat Patrol
They rarely put new models into Combat Patrol
But the Sang Guard and Captain have been confirmed
guard one not having a leman russ but having a shitty support rocket launcher thing
Huh
That’s a rebox of the guard launch box in 9e
I love the current Guard box
So does it really count lol
why
It’s decent imo they could have put another infantry squad or two in
It's great
no leman russ 😔
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
True
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
Cities is a horde army and it's Spearhead has like 17 models in it
money
Then Lumineth which is a fairly elite army has like 26 models
It’s not money, GW just puts together whatever for their boxes lol
It’s very schizophrenic
I did not enjoy playing against the skaven spearhead
Thing is actually a nightmare to fight
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
Like guess which one is the horde army
that's a lot of axes

Needs more axes
too much WEED
☁️
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?
Probably eventually
still waiting on my melta gun
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
tbh the plasma gun acts like a melta gun rn
Yeah
if it was more explosive
It’s hard to find a place for the melta, but I hope we get it
Same with a Ogryn heavy bolter/autocannon
ogryn heavy bolter would definitely have a use
just neeeeed autocannon
i want a reload animation with the drum
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.
Ah you shoot one and the enemy magically disappears

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
- Drukhari
- Slaanesh
- 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

Also to be honest all 3 of these are horrible, it kinda falls into a "pick your poison" dilemma 
Immaterial, I can quickdraw my laspitol and blow my brains out the same for all three
big mood tbh
Yeah true.
Ig the 4th spot is actually hard to decide
Honestly idk whether Necrons or Khorne would be worse
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
And that they also repeatedly stab said face at least a hundred times
you will be dead after Stab 1 or Stab 2 its fine
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
Top 5 are Drukhari, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Orks(if you’re captured alive), tyranids
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
Or guard vs sisters actually
Guard vs admech might be the worst via inter imperium conflict
radiation poisoning go!
‘Ight so you can either work in the lithium mines until you die. Lobotomy labs until you die. Nuclear reactor room until you die.”
oh damn that is scary
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
Oh and drukhari
Oh my bad webbers
i guess besides 'you got what you got'
genestealer cults would use web guns to kidnap important poeple
Bad hands dealt all around.
In a difficulty sense, how bad is blackout on the higher levels?
Like from a "Getting dragged into the darkness level", to a "Darktide? More like Dorktide"
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.
Shoot the daemonhost once for extra light
Also mind your flashlight around it if your gun comes with one standard
But pings work as normal unlike vermintide darkness so it’s largely business as usual
The mission goes faster if you spam your light on and off
Yes. The Crackfiend route
Rinda Karnak
boring
It’s rinda but she doesn’t have a shield or 30-40% of her health so she just dies
Really good for farming out lights out penance though
better than dyin from starvation in an underhive
that's what makes the guard great
they're legitimately grateful for not doing hive labor
couldnt even bother to add something new
im glad skaven got the W but why must stormcasts keep waiting
literally one of the posts today was
f your auspex scanners were properly calibrated, you’ll have noticed that the latest edition of Kill Team was covertly deployed in the Operation Hivestorm Preview at the weekend.
There’s plenty of classified documents for us to sift through and send on, provided you have the necessary security clearance. This week, we’ll be briefing on…
followed by nothing else
im too impatient for gw aaa
Lights Out makes me want to just give up Tertium to Nurgle occasionally
I just don't like not being able to see clearly
Linda deciding to come out and occasionally try to kill us doesn't help either
But she's basically like an easier scab captain without the shield or the beefier boss health
I thinks lights out is fun
So she's actually the less annoying part.
The enemies she likes the bring with her on the other hand
Uhhh
Yeah I love getting rushed by a mutant, 4 crushers, and a pox horde
Just fucking stay dead Linda I swear to the Emperor

It's fun sometimes but Everytime I play quick play every other mission is lights out
I just intentionally play it right now
Good for farming out the penance
always 1 on the mission board and always damnation
I swear some fucking Greater Daemon must be pissing on Tertium's power bank
Tbf, it is marginally less painful than that one penance where they uh
Cover everything in gas
I fucking hate that one
Jokes aside, for me that type of stuff is kinda uh
Unfun
Like it isn't due to the enemies
Or anything
I think its interesting, it prevents you from relying on the best holds for every event
What is a hold

Serious btw I'm still slightly new
The places you usually stand and fight during events
Like the old area they stuck a ramp in the carnival colosseum
Ah
Gas is kinda eh
You like it cause it changes up strategy
It's a bit boring
I don't love tox gas
I would like it more if they weren't so generous with stims
Its fine on some maps
Theres health stims everywhere
True
It's more of an annoyance thing really
Like going to get your flu shot
Several times

In a row
Unless your psyker corruption takes awhile to actually matter most of the time
Actually
As a question for y'all even tho this isn't the channel for it
Least favorite penance/stage effect?
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
ie most darkness levels and pox
"Killed one dog, well here comes another dog to maul you!"
I'm just thankful Obese Shark hadn't added one where it's all trappers
Usually yes
When there are a literal horde of them
No
I wouldn't mind that
When there a horde most classes in the game can counter it either by just dodging and spamming m1 a lot or have a fuck ton of bullets
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

It is kinda annoying how enemic hound patrols are
Hound patrols in general really only punish disorganized teammates in matches
Because if your decent, they pass you by
Using a Bolter to clear a pox horde is satisfying.
Not as effective as just melee or using a fucking Lasgun or something
At least in a team sense, not individually
But it is satisfying
Kinda makes me wish it was more explosive sometimes

But that's just me wanting to just
I prefer using a pox burster on them
Much more funny
DAKKADAKKADAKKA
pushes pox burster back
immediately explodes towards their own men

Pushing Pox Bursters are funny
Most full auto weapons can work on pox hordes
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
Bolter

Yea bolter
good thing we have plot armour
I still find it a waste on them
Still wish that weird iron sights bug was fixed
This is why I only hipfire
on tabletop imagine a single guardsman killing like 40 cultists with an autogun
Yeah Bolter is fun to hipfire.
They're just rolling 6s everytime
Dw
mfw the tabletop is the realistic version
Also quite disappointed that we never see anything like
Normal Guardsmen vs SMs
In media at least
We do?
Oh nice
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
Still though, would be interesting if other media had more infighting
read any tanith book
or astartes book
Imperial infighting is like
or any book at all
I mean other than the books
astartes regularly shoot guardsmen
But yeah I should read more
Idfk
The rule books like imperial infighting
because it gives a narrative excuse
for you to run Imperium V Imperium stuff
cadians shooting ultramarines is lore accurate trust me
Yeah that's basically the reason why
I just hipfire all the time tbh
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
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
very good job random Guard officer
you really fucked it up 
I forgot if he was a company commander or a castellan
either way he was a Cadian
lol
Yeah you usually hipfire for most guns. Especially since the mags are high.
But for guns like revolvers, bolt pistols, and bolters. I sometimes aim in for a bit extra better aim
Only to realize
"Oh I'm playing Darktide"
cadians fucking it up for everybody
When I miss with the boltpistol ads
I'm just imagining the Eldar are watching from their craftworld
Eating chips
the bolt pistol shoots faster when aiming no?
also that fanning revolver is peak
kill all elites in my radius
one of their autarchs got their brains blown out
Gaming

Yeah that must've been chaos
Not literally but
You get the point
i want to shoot more heretics
with autoguns
also the scion helmet makes a really cool voice filter
Auto guns are fun yeah
I just wish for a video game where you play as a Chaos cultist or something
Chaos was involved tbf lol
but not on the like
reason why the backstabbing happened

if only we could make a drum mag cut down version 😔
i want louder and more ammo
i might have ork genes
Cultist: "So... did anybody cause this or..."
Chaos Sorcerer: "N- I mean yes, just a s pla-"
Cultist: "No, no you clearly did not cause this."
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
The voice filter fucking pierces my ears I hate it
are we even hearing the same voice filter
im talking about the super gravely one
Do we have the Vpanther pattern in Darktide?
the what
Chud pattern nerdgun
I think it was in the Necromunda videogame
Eh whatever
The Veteran should get a regular Heavy Stubber
I like dakka
did somebody try to write panther and fucked it up
say vpanther out loud
dumbest sounding name ever
i approve this message
this is the same hiveworld where Rich kids in giant murder suits hunt poor people for sport
Necromunda also has my favorite idea for a mercenary ever
constantly thirsty so they literally hunt down people for the water in their body
i'd like to see these rich kids fight my shitty walmart melta gun
also their suit can suck out water from people
Actually actually
...
Storm Bolter
some of the suits can fly or have refractor fields 
no
multi melta
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
Still waiting on the 2handed power sword to release so i can complete my kruber cosplay
Cause they're rich
I think Heavy Bolter would be cool for Ogyrns tho
The model should look like it was just
heavy bolter i approve
Ripped off of it's stand
damn that's cheap
Busy enforcing the Lex and watching the Noble houses like hawks
Also the Spryer suits are really rare
So of course only rich people have them

i feel like arbites on nercomunda have a whole guard regiment size of manpower
ready to just take over the planet in case shit goes bad
Specifically rich people ahve them
Compared to your other power armor in imperium factions how does it perform
Theres a lot of them on Munda
I don't expect it to be you know something like a centurion warsuit or a terminator
Its about as protective as power armor, but far more versatile + has integrated weapons
its downside is its big
its loud
and they're really rare
so astartes would take them down easily
For features like that i'd say that's a good trade off because i feel like having integrated weapon systems on a power armor is fun
the primary use rn
And it seems the suit is capable of having a lot of it
is uh
the nobles are sending their kids
to go murder genestealers
with Van Saar lol
for fun?
no
To get rid of competition
so the genestealers stop making ground
So the rich kids are actually doing something important for once
Occupy your kids to have something to do and they won't worry about trying to dethrone you
Better than Astartes, but rare
also to hunt for archeotech
It does have a interesting feature though
I don't include space marine power armor
self repair and upgrading yeah
Just a human ones
its really weird 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."
Have There ever been records of an Imperial noble/planetary governor that had an ounce of kindness, and wasn’t a complete ass?
Powerfist with bolter mounted on it when fatshart
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
Depends tbh
My point is space marine power armor won't work on a comparison to human power armor because it's fitted exactly for them
Point being its very funny
that the rich kids went from slaughtering poor people for fun
to actually doing something that matters
oh great so hunting rigs come from "offworld" so we have no idea who makes them
Fair enough.
Still though it is pretty good.
probably custom made mechanicus crap mixed with xenotech
I mean tbf the actual purpose is to prove yourself to be ruthless and capable
Yeah
Inquisitors do get termie armor sometimes, I have seen to see art of it and how dopey it looks
but like its not just hunting random poor people now
So killing Jeanstealers probably gives them a gold star
it can repair itself. there's 100000% some xeno shit in there

Oh yeah i forgot inquisitors are just that special
xeno tech is like dark age tech except more fancy
Honestly makes me wish we got a SM that uses like
A large Spyrer suit
Maybe a failed aspirant
no that would require astartes using anything that isn't bog standard
That decided
"Alright, Geneseed won't work, and my legs are now fucked. Fine then. I'll do it myself."
Would be fun for a necromunda bounty hunter
Tbh
Since the fists recruit from munda
custodes flexing his muscles in the corner while he convinced a hive gang to fight for the imperium
Actually playing as a Spyrer suit
Sounds really fun
Especially since like I posted earlier
Be weird for a custo to do that
It adapts to the user
i like the idea of custodes being spies but just convincing people to be good
Jokes on you. I don't play tabletop!
Because I...
Want to actually be able to eat
Cheap by warhammer standards
💀
But yeah it just sounds fun in general.
Video game and tabletop
No it’s cheap by other game standards
You literally just need 2 boxes
And you’re done
Also uh
It requires people
Is that expensive by warhammer standards?
Yeah that’s the issue
And I am too nervous to ask my friends
No
Well
It’s more expensive then killteam
Killteam is just a single box
I mean it sounds fun as a video game also
Necromunda or killteam could def be adapted as video games
Because like I said. The suit literally adapts to you which gives an excuse for perks
You're a rich kid fr
As in like strategy games

I tried it
It's alright
Could've definitely done more with it tho
But I get why they didn't
Still sucks that most 40k games
Suck
It also got a strategy game

I swear it's like a curse
Tzeentch fucking cursed us maj
Deathwatch XCOM game ripoff please
You don't have to tell me
People not liking it was a good enough boom that i heard it
Seriously why are so many 40k games just
i dont think GW will ever adapt killteam to game 1:1 because then why would people buy the tabletop
Garbage
Not a 1 to 1
it's the curse of 40k
I mean even Warhammer Fantasy got more bangers
i feel like they intentionally dont do it. otherwise they're morons for not capitalizing on a turn based killteam strategy game
because i'd buy that shit instantly
Could easily be the latter thi

like imagine a fun 45 minute game
GW executives are known for being incredibly conservative and safe with non mini stuff
with cool killing animations
I think the best adaptation would be make it grid based
Make melee even more lethal
like those mobile games
Make ranged combat more lethal
the turn based ones
GW executives be like
"Okay let's not do anything cool."
"...and now time to let Gav Thrope write another Eldar book!"
just 2 player online matchmaking
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
Playing as a Spyrer sounds fun.
Imagine it being a rogue-like
Each new attempt is just another rich kid lmao
Marines are genuinely scary in killteam

Some basic rifle guy can literally tear some melee specialists in half
Same with Orks and Eldar
i like how krieg in killteam is just expendable units
They’re really fun
Super high skill
Position focused
Play smart
Use your resources well
And you’ll win
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
💀
i wonder what a valhallan one would be like
even more expendable
just more units but shit
Tbf Kriegers are supposed to be elite, extremely trained, and practical masters at the field of battle
they had to make the scion one a drop pod themed since kasrkin already had the normal scion vibe
They just have extreme self hatred passed down by cilture
The krieg one is a generic veteran guardsmen killteam
which means we'll never get an elysian killteam
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
they have shit units like the rest
killteams are all elite troops tho
Fair enough
people act like krieg is special for having a high death rate
most guard regiments only promote but survival lol
There’s a reason it’s called killteam veteran guardsmen
if you survive long enough you become sergeant
And not killteam death korps of krieg
I mean
Guardsmen die a lot in general
Not as much as some people say
But
they absolutely do
Yeah
they die by the thousands
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
are elysians really that popular
Quite
they got removed ages ago
They’re one of the big boys
that's their entire fucking culture
drop troop
what the fuck is that about
who cares
just make a drop troop cadian company
Yeah but, they have there own sentinel verient, so there cooler to me
it's literally tabletop bait
Still
if they come back they need a proper theming
we got 2 new ones with auxilia
And only one is good
you dont like stumpy sentinel and sentinel lite?
The big goofy one
The small one sucks because it doesn't match the theme of the auxilia
Solar aux vehicles shouldn't be open topped
yes they should
They are meant to ensure the harsh environment
solar auxilia literally have enclosed fighting suits
That's why there artillery looks weird to begin with
