Yeah lol
crisp heath
no one wants to be lumped together with russians
storm jungle
Not this again

different alphabet, different religion

yet GW lumped all slavs into Kislev
storm jungle
no one cares

yeah like that's the country where ninjas are a thing and Skaven became assassin...
Which is old lore.
Now it's cathay that taught them everything
crisp heath
so why would having japanese IG attacking machinegun nests with human wave tactics be different
it's still fiction
storm jungle
because the Imperium still does that
the problem is
people dont wanna be reminded of fucking japanese atrocities
why is this so hard to get
queen laurel
Which is old lore.
Now it's cathay that taught them everything
yeah but like you know they did it still

lowkey racist or something
Lowkey? After that statement?

Lowkey? After that statement?
Beats me honestly
queen laurel
Are you saying asians are still on like imperial japan
crisp heath
storm jungle
crisp heath
TV wouldn't lie
paper haven
Well any asian culture outside of Japan would be very upest if protrayed as Imperial Japanese since. Well, you know.
gray umbra
So like if we wanna realtalk. I doubt GW reallly gives a shit. But if they put out a japanese regiment known for suicide bombing and shit its gonna attract attention and its gonna be a pr shitshow
celest dome
A notable difference between how the European and the Asian were portrayed is that 1 side is more historical, the other more stereotypes.
And even in the Empire and Kislev there are smaller ethnic groups representing different cultures.
crisp heath

then they removed them for very obvious reasons
gray umbra
Like its not a far stretch for the setting
crisp heath
to be fair however you do have british yeomen in otherwise french Bretonnia
storm jungle
the Imperium would absolutely do this stuff but the problem is most players rightfully dont want to be reminded of IRL atrocities constantly.
paper haven
same reason as eastern europe doesn't like being lumped with russia who commited...
No I agree, it's why I'm against the Kislev stereotyping.
gray umbra
But any company doesnt want to get woked out of existence
storm jungle
Also this yeah lol
the fandom complains enough when they see a black character
we dont need more shit ontop of that
queen laurel
we dont need more shit ontop of that

I say they need to go full South park and offend as many cultures as possible at once

Imperium should be diverse by the virtue of being an empire
They are tho

They are tho
I know, the primarchs alone show it

That way nobody feels left out

we also had Blood Angels described as diverse looking when it comes to skin and eye color etc
storm jungle
we also had Blood Angels described as diverse looking when it comes to skin and ...
Yeah "described" not shown
crisp heath
they are all hot though I think
paper haven
Well the Imperium does draw heavily from the Roman empire.
storm jungle
Theres a reason this artwork caused such a "crisis"
since people just saw the dude on the right
and just went full racist
lol
crisp heath
in Dawn of War 2 you have a black librarian too
dusk patrol
There’s been artwork of black dudes before and such, people are just tarded
storm jungle
There’s been artwork of black dudes before and such, people are just tarded
It really wasnt as prominent
crisp heath
Celestial Lions were based on africans
storm jungle
especially as it is now
crisp heath
too bad ork snipers got them
paper haven
Remember the warhammer fantasy pigmys?
dusk patrol
It’s more a thing now, it still was a thing
paper haven
I remember
storm jungle
I mean
"a thing" doesnt really count
its a lot more on the forefront now
since legions of white guys as protags kinda gets boring
and GW is very much aware of it
since it draws more people in with it, same reason why female/unisex units are a thing rn
paper haven
I'm not sure that simply changing the skin color would be enough to make a boring character interesting
dusk patrol
The heresy series back in 2005 had a lot of diversity in skin tones within the legions

Yeah im again talking forefront.

legions of white guys
and uh
one black dude on the left
crisp heath
so what
forest orbit
Its boring
crisp heath
how many non whites do you need to count
crisp heath
yes I know Moshe you like diversity a lot except for Israel
forest orbit
...
storm jungle
Okay thats it.
queen laurel
that
dusk patrol
They’ve been represented in books before anyways which is why the take was stupid with the avenging son
queen laurel
is just racist
paper haven
And there it goes
dusk patrol
Israel is diverse anyways dipshit
crisp heath
sure thing Schlomo
dusk patrol
Me when I get my takes off Hasan and TikTok
crisp heath
about as much as Iceland
queen laurel
your gonna keep doubling down huh
paper haven
To be fair, Iceland has a population of like, 40 people
dusk patrol
Dude most people in Israel aren’t even white lol
crisp heath
dusk patrol
What
paper haven
Or was that Greenland? Fuck.
dusk patrol
Iceland has a huge diversity problem in the gene pool I know
paper haven
Always get those two mixed up
storm jungle
yeah move on lol
queen laurel
yeah ignoring that insect
forest orbit
Anyway yeah "book mentios" dont really count.
GW was very much aware to mix up the visual media of the people they represent
since again it brings in more people
its what they did with AOS
paper haven
Promotional artwork is what draws people in
storm jungle
Pretty much this yeah
like its the same reason they are making so many female special characters
they very much know
paper haven
They don't put exerpts from the books on billboards
dusk patrol
They’ve done a better job with art, it was still a thing though and that’s why the Avenging Sons take was always tarded
storm jungle
It very much was "just put one in the corner"
its why when someone who isnt white is on the forefront people lost their mind lol
and still do
paper haven
So that we can edit him out when we run the advertisement in China
forest orbit
LOL
dusk patrol
People lost their minds because they’re stupid and it was easy rage bait, and that’s what the internet caters to now
paper haven
Oh wait, no. That's Disney
forest orbit
So that we can edit him out when we run the advertisement in China
Marvel please 💀
yeah GW wouldnt do that
because they arent megacorp enough
paper haven
I honestly have no idea if GW would do that or not
storm jungle
They absolutely would.
its more that they already got a good audience
Disney does it because they are a megacorporation
their appeal is worldwide
paper haven
I'm leaning more towards no with how protective they are of the IP
forest orbit
this yep
dusk patrol
They're growing in China and Japan
forest orbit
Yeah that
theres no need for it now
but like worst case they'd just put helmet on black guys and leave it at that
dusk patrol
But they've never been interested in compromising the IP largely so far so I doubt thats gonna change.
storm jungle
Wasnt that what the ydid for black panther
forest orbit
Yes lol
storm jungle
but anyway yeah they got a loyal audience rn theres not really a need for marketing censorship yet
paper haven
Kinda hard to hide the blatant African inspirations in Black Panther, but Disney will find a way
paper haven
Anyway, how did we get here?
paper haven
Oh right
storm jungle
queen laurel
Gotta get that asian money-money
https://youtu.be/HMuYfScGpbE?si=byKVNtDwY8mYpzTB gw after releasing more primaris stuff and ignoring the other factions
dusk patrol
They're getting a big one soon
Warp Spiders, Warp Spider Pheonix lord, a few other Aspect warriors at least.
paper haven
Primaris were 8th edition, right?
queen laurel
They're getting a big one soon
it took them a while you have to admit
paper haven
We're on 10
dusk patrol
7th I think
queen laurel
Gw always in for the money
storm jungle
Warp Spiders are the most ancient yeah
but yea they are getting updated soon
only took like 50 years
paper haven
Oh speaking of changes, finally got around to watching Tithes
paper haven
I like it
storm jungle
tho animation is expensive so
queen laurel
Its VERY good
i prefer it over pariah Nexus
storm jungle
pariah nexus was just bad ye
paper haven
Finally saw the female Custodes everyone was mad about
dusk patrol
it took them a while you have to admit
Sure, doesn't change that we can be happy stuff is being updated.
queen laurel
Because of the multiple povs
storm jungle
the marine episode was prob the worst
paper haven
Seemed to be exactly like every other custodes I've seen: Kind of a dick.
queen laurel
the marine episode was prob the worst
yeah it's basically the most bland
dusk patrol
There's a few who are less prickish, shes definitely more towards the asshole scale.
storm jungle
yeah it's basically the most bland
its mostly because its just... kinda nothing
paper haven
Was the first episode a continuation or something like that? I swear I've seen those characters before
storm jungle
i also didnt like how Brutus just instantly accepted Sakan
dusk patrol
We see a few different ones in novels who are aware of how to be charismatic.
queen laurel
its mostly because its just... kinda nothing
yeah Sakan save the save the Geneseed whoopty doo
storm jungle

dusk patrol

Some are kinda
storm jungle
Yeah the only returning character is Sakan
the second one is relegated to the 4th Tyrannic War
dusk patrol
Tfw Salamanders have two separate "Suck On" character names
paper haven
I like how Sakan stood his ground after Brutus kept goading him
dusk patrol
Tsu'gan and Saukan.
paper haven
But Brutus should have doubled down
storm jungle
My favorite part with that episode was people being shocked an Ultramarine can be an asshole.
like... yes?
paper haven
Would have made more sense
queen laurel
There's a few who are less prickish, shes definitely more towards the asshole sc...
i mean personality wise they are on the same as marines, some care some don't some are in between that sees humans are tools, i feel like she's on the middle scale of you know just statues
That follows the orders given to her
dusk patrol
She's more of the cold standoffish ones.
Some are much more personable, some are assholes.
paper haven
Custodes are explicitely far more understanding of humans
dusk patrol
They have a common goal, how they think is best to achieve it, varies quite a bit.
paper haven
At least Space Marines can say they don't get it
dusk patrol
Custodes its a level of interest in investing in it
A lot dont care at all to get humans or learn to be more diplomatic. Marines are often similar
Especially in higher command positions.
paper haven
They hyper focus on their goal, which they should do.
Anything outside of that just doesn't matter
dusk patrol
As said they have a common goal, but how they believe it should be done varies a lot.
rose thorn
In an argument about trench crusade, does anyone have that meme that’s like
‘When your opponent asks if he can bring his proxy army and you agree, then he pulls out his bare naked Slaanesh sisters of battle army’
dusk patrol
I know I've seen some.
paper haven
God

I had a friend travels a lot and did a pickup game with a guy whose army was basically that
So many titties, everyone was OC donut steal perpetual psyker

dusk patrol
Also was the worst kind of rules lawyer and "you already rolled so it doesn't count but I won't hold myself to the same standard"
dusk patrol
please tell me he just packed his army and left
He let it play out a little and made an excuse very quickly.
queen laurel
He let it play out a little and made an excuse very quickly.
ok good
dusk patrol
Like legit, he had all these combined armies which were all legt perpetual psykers in his homebrew lore.
And hed be like "Well, that wouldn't kill them in reality but its a game so..."
There was a lot to it, its one of the worst homebrew and pickup game stories I've heard.
paper haven
Please do not use the game as an excuse to spew your OC lore at me I am trying to hold an objective

If it’s a crusade game then it’s fine lmao, but yeha it’s pretty bad lol
Or what ever narrative is called this week
paper haven
The open ended nature that allows for easy homebrewing is one of the reasons I love 40k so much but. Come on. Nobody cares.
Where's that meme of the guy explaining something to a girl who is clearly uncomfortable
dusk patrol
It depends on how you do it, I don't mind disuccusing someones homebrew, but man if its a cringey one or we have limited time.
Fuck that
queen laurel
i like listening to people tell me about things they make but like sometimes you need to read the atmosphere
paper haven
Of course, if it's a discussion specifically about your homebrews, then sure
dusk patrol
There was a guy at my LGS who had this adorably simple homebrew, they were just dudes. He was like "you wanna hear my guys" and he just gave some super basic backstory.
rose thorn
There was a guy at my LGS who had this adorably simple homebrew, they were just ...
Gob bless
queen laurel
There was a guy at my LGS who had this adorably simple homebrew, they were just ...
yeah that's respectable you know you ask someone
read the atmosphere if they want to listen to it
not just go up to someone and scream the lore
dusk patrol
Normally I'll humor someone unless it gets super fucking OC donut steal over the top.
Unironically though you can generally tell who to ignore lol
rose thorn
The argument I’m in is that the nudity in trench crusade is genuinely disruptive to the game and setting
paper haven
I really like the super basic ones.
rose thorn
And is revealing to the creator’s intentions and priorities
rose thorn
I really like the super basic ones.
It’s always the best

I don't know anything about Trench Crusade but I'm gonna assume that it takes place in or around trenches and there is prolific use of chemical weapons?

In general I refuse to play with anyone who has models like that, unless it fits the setting or character maybe. And that’s not common.
paper haven
Even better if he starts out basic and keeps track of each person over the course of games and develops the characters based on what games they were in.
rose thorn
Half of the factions are literally chaos warriors
paper haven
It’s ’oh shit we don’t want ohr ww2 dark fantasy game to blend in with the rest’...
Sounds generic as hell
rose thorn
In general I refuse to play with anyone who has models like that, unless it fits...
The problem is they said the female model will have a nudity option
dusk patrol
Sex sells I guess
rose thorn
It’s fucking WORLD WAR ONE
dusk patrol
It’s silly but idk if I can blame model companies sometimes
queen laurel
It’s fucking WORLD WAR ONE
Religious symbolism World War One
rose thorn
Why is there naked women
queen laurel
yeah it's just a bit like weird
rose thorn
Just, not even like repentia
queen laurel
And like I'm just gonna ignore it but you cannot help but even think
dusk patrol
Because it sells, it’s stupid and I wouldn’t play with anyone using it but
rose thorn
‘Oh yeah they are like repentia what’s the problem’
rose thorn
Also why is the German stand in suspiciously ww2 themed
paper haven
Why are there naked women?
dusk patrol
I’ve never felt like I need to be able to jerk off to my war gaming models
paper haven
I mean, I know why but what is the justification?
rose thorn
I mean, I know why but what is the justification?
They think they are protected by their god
Odd the male models in that faction are fully armored
paper haven
And uh, are they?
rose thorn
Hard to tell sense the art shows them in perfect porn star bodies
storm jungle
Why are there naked women?
its a male dominated hobby and sometimes they wanna inject sex appeal into it, its pretty simple
paper haven
Cuz you'd figure out pretty damn quickly if you aren't in that environment.

Odd the male models in that faction are fully armored

Yeah I get that. I meant the lore reasons
storm jungle
oh whoops 💀
rose thorn
Repentia are gross and tortured, you read them and their wounds are literally infected
Because they are REPENTING
gross as in ‘holy shit that’s terrible’ not nudity
queen laurel
It's just weird really and like i'm just probably gonna ignore it but it does make you wonder when you think of it
dusk patrol
Well originally it was about tits and ass but now it’s more the horrific aspect
queen laurel
it's just sex good
dusk patrol
I’m sure someone’s still whackin it too them but hey
paper haven
Pretty gurl make gamers happy
dusk patrol
Sex sells

Body wash?

For tabletop gamers?
dusk patrol
I keep seeing ads for it
queen laurel
it's looking for ways in the market to get money it's just an old tactic

They know my tastes

Questionable but what can you do
dusk patrol
I will concede I may have a thing for hot blonde women with big boobs
gray umbra
Gw has to collab with dr squatch
dusk patrol
Put me on a cross if you will
rose thorn
Okay I need to drop it this game infuriates me
queen laurel
I will concede I may have a thing for hot blonde women with big boobs
No I just expected your taste to be a little less basic to be honest but I'm not gonna judge you other than the fact that i expected your taste to be a bit else
dusk patrol
I have a hot women fetish I’m sad to say
paper haven
I like my ladies more goth than blonde but same thing I guess
dusk patrol
paper haven
dusk patrol
If I’m being real I’ve always thought the idea of a “type” is kinda silly, beyond “hot people”
Looks wise at least

Well. Since hot is by definition a person's type, I guess you have a point

I’m kind of off on which astartes vehicle is okay using a serf piloting it and which ones is astartes ONLY
Like. I know in the soul drinkers. They use serfs for raptors. And have them running around with Lascutters opening hatches. But like. Do any chapters let them pilot rhinos. Or land raiders?
I imagine land speeders are a huge no. That’s an Astarte only vehicle right

Depends, any can but Astartes tend to be the drivers
With serfs being the crew maybe
Iron Hands integrate into their vehicles more and use more automatous systems

a serf pilots a thunderhawk in night lords which is probably a good indicator that there's no limits to which astartes vehicles can be used by non astartes

Like you insult a Psyker and so they immediately play one of those YouTube Elsagate videos inside your head
And you're powerless to stop it
Well. Besides shoving a bolter into your mouth
Seriously though can Psykers do that
Just force people to live through a traumatic memory
"Oh you lost your wife? TIME TO RELIVE HER DEATH AGAIN BUCKO."

Thats what they did to horus i think

Have you guessed the actual details of the setting
I’m assuming every tribe is descendent from Elda in some manner
Beyond that uh

You can simply just tear your heart out

He somehow avoids being affiliated with Chaos

Now granted a chunk of those jokes cause people to start bleeding from their eye...
Actually
Nvm about the avoiding chaos
It's a Tzeentchian Psyker that pulls pranks
Some of them are relatively harmless
Some of them have the punchline be something like
Idk
Using the Exterminatus Satellite to carve a smiley face on the planet using cyclonic torpedos
And it's never known how petty or grandiose they are
He just does it
One day he throws a cream pie at the planetary governor
The next he
Literally burns down an orphanage because it's funny

They don’t get to keep them, they’ll use requestioned imperial psykers. Cyberthurgy is something similar to Psyker stuff but it only works on technology
rose thorn
oh neat
arctic talon
Cyberthurgy also doesn’t work great on things that aren’t Tau, Imperial or like “normal” tech
It struggles with stuff like eldar tech
But it’s a cool thing
If you’ve played rogue trader Pasqal uses Cyberthurgy

Oh shit

queen laurel
I forgot
arctic talon
In any case stuff like a Titan or Ship very much has a machine spirit
rose thorn
(no clue what that means)
arctic talon
but something like a lasgun doesn't
Pasqal's machine spirit banishment is more like
telling a gun to kill itself
or a vehicle
ect.
rose thorn
i thought las gun spirits need to be taken care of
arctic talon
thats just maintenance
rose thorn
oh
rose thorn
does gsc stuff have machine spirits?
queen laurel
but something like a lasgun doesn't
Machine spirits basically manifest on bigger angrier machines right like titans or tanks
gray umbra
Pasqal telling this xenos turret to kys
arctic talon
but guns and tools generally don't have machine spirits
queen laurel
I feel like a machine spirit isn't really existence the more low tech the thing is
gray umbra
And it explodes
praying for the reach beyond the stars
arctic talon
tbh
queen laurel
Like the higher the technology in the bigger it is the more likely it is to have a machine spirit
arctic talon
Pasqal's machine spirit banishment is heavily nerfed down+ broadened for game balance
in any case
a lot of xenos tech doesn't have machine spirits
stuff like Eldar/drukhari stuff
Some Tau stuff does
but like 
queen laurel
a lot of xenos tech doesn't have machine spirits
I mean Orks use their psychic power to basically supplement a machine spirit right
gray umbra

arctic talon
Machine spirits are very much an imperial belief
The Motive Force is in all things
its just electricity lol

why doesnt xenos need to baby sit their machine spirits?

arctic talon
why doesnt xenos need to baby sit their machine spirits?
They don't have them

damn
arctic talon
also Xenos do maintain their guns
lol
The Tau run maintenance regularly on their weaponry
queen laurel
also Xenos do maintain their guns
Except lazy orks
They get the grots to do it for them
arctic talon
the reason Tau relic weapons don't have machine spirits is
A. Tau don't have a strong psychic presence
B. they don't worship technology the way the imperium does
queen laurel
why doesnt xenos need to baby sit their machine spirits?
With Orks their psychic power is the machine spirit
arctic talon
and C. they replace their gear with new stuff regularly
The Tau are constantly updating and modifying equipment
queen laurel
Because they use it to hold basically their tech together
arctic talon
old redundant stuff gets sent to the museums or broken down

when the XV-15 is invented

The imperium is beginning to innovate more in the recent years right
