It plays similarly but its more of a fully fleshed out classical jrpg, instead of a thought experiment of "what if there was an rpg where you didnt have to kill anyone"
but the heart dodging attacks thing is the same
but you can fight and kill enemies if you feel like it, theres still several ways to play, but it doesnt beat you over the head and stuff you in the "bad person bin" if you just wanna play it like a generic RPG (Which I did)

lets you play like an RPG with gear actually mattering and shit

Idk if exp is as big in this game as it is in undertale

dapper gyro
The iron halo?
tough haven
No Halo Devices, xeno artifacts that provide immortality to their wearers at a terrible cost
dapper gyro
So far, nothing is indestructible in 40K.
arctic talon
Can halo devices be destroyed?
Chucking them into a sun seems to work
Via conventional weaponry
No
humble shoal
They also are very difficult to capture right?
arctic talon
No
Halo devices are inert and not an issue
The issue is when someone puts it on
Because everything is fine until the tertiary phase, just the usual noble degeneracy
Then all hell breaks loose
humble shoal
Then all hell breaks loose
I meant after this happens
arctic talon
Oh
Usually they just kill then
With a lot of firepower
And then the halo device is launched into a sun

Yee

But generally capturing someone in the tertiary phase is
Hard
They’re extremely strong, fast and durable
Though the glowing eyes and speaking in some long dead language def give it away lol

My favourite description or lack thereof is when Gman meets him

The old poses are because they needed to keep everything reasonably linear to cast most or all of the figure in one piece
Some of them would have separate arms and the backpack was separate
The multipart plastics were capable of custom posing to a much greater extent
Though ironically we're back to monopose miniatures again now, yet still multipart

if it's a big reveal like genuinely it's gonna be bigger than a refresh
rose thorn
Ye I know that, usually they don’t do new armies til the end of the edition
queen laurel
true
arctic talon
Ye I know that, usually they don’t do new armies til the end of the edition
It’s def something different

Ogors are usually associated with that plus kragnos

“ We’ve even heard rumblings of a brand new army in the Mortal Realms…”
Please chaos dwarves chaos needs another faction bro order has them outnumbered
i'm not one for having the realms explode but
make the realms explode with factories

Ogors are usually associated with that plus kragnos
Yeah but ogors aren’t a new army
If they got a total range refresh I wouldn’t call it a new army personally
queen laurel
i love them but i genuinely want to see something new
ogres are amazing but i genuinely want to see what chaos dwarfs would look like

The new dudes just look bad to me
Not sure if it’s the paint job or the sculpt

I wonder if only Chaos will get a new faction (which would take Beastmen's place anyway), or if they're planning on having new Order/Destruction/Death ones much later on

But for future editions

Nah
I think it’ll be more then 1 potentially
We know there’s a beastman redo/adjacent faction in the works

Would it come in this edition though ?

Which would basically be a massive chunk of the army

Of the dwarfs in AoS khadron are the big winner
Prolly because they’re the most fun

Honestly they ought to rework the whole lore of the Fyreslayer, make them more standard to what the Dwarf were, just magma-ish, bigger involvement of using cannons with molten metal, and loads of Rune stuff
arctic talon
Double down on Ur Gold
queen laurel
Of the dwarfs in AoS khadron are the big winner
to be fair they are a unique approach of the dwarves
They are always the advanced guys that have the better tech out of everyone in fantasy settings but the way they doubled down on making these guys instead of living on the generic mountains and caves they live upon the skies with giant sky fortresses steampunk style
arctic talon
Oh also the whole
Fyreslayers are just wearing underwear thing
Also puts me off
Like…. It’s not even creative or weird looking
It’s just, very boring armor for the majority of minis

I also have the same criticism about Daughters of Khaine tbh

Fyreslayers are just wearing underwear thing
honestly that barbarian Loincloth look

If the US is the example here, transferring a machine gun (aka full auto weapon by design) is not exactly cheap. The buyer needs to get the permit first before you can even let them buy.

For most countries, good luck.

youv fallen straight into their lust entrapment
Is it entrapment if i know its a trap amd go anyway?
dapper gyro
Owning and operating are 2 different things. Many people in the US only realized that after. Getting the ammo to have fun with full auto is a big expense itself. Otherwise, it is just collectible.

Some of the deals they offered were diabolical, like they'd have an expert come in and say "Yea I appraise this item as easily being worth $16,000 and then the Pawn dealer would deadass look the seller in the eye and say "I'll take it for $1200, best I can offer"

we probably can make one
the issue is whether it'd be useful
and the answer is
no honestly it probably wouldn't

theres basically no reason for it to be made
theres weapons that do a terror job way better than a boltgun

well ""realistically"" in a nerd emoji type way
it's why everybody switched to a lower caliber around the 50s
except the USA
until Vietnam then they were like
"FIINNNEEEEEE"
makes the M16
arctic talon
Bolters are goofy
opaque coyote
but yeah the bolters are goofy as shit
opaque coyote
your average grunt would get scared of artillery more
oh yeah 100%
it's just that a bolter is overkill for small arms and underkill for like actual heavy weaponry
if that makes any sense
(it doesn't but shut u-)
like if you just want to kill a person
you don't need to shoot mini missiles
with a gun that would probably end up breaking your shoulder
but this is nerd emoji territory

Tbh, I've always seen Bolters being more effective as a morale breaking weapon. Imagine fighting a space marine and watching as half of your comrades get turned into mist in seconds.
opaque coyote
Tbh, I've always seen Bolters being more effective as a morale breaking weapon. ...
Honestly, since it's implied that Bolters were there before the Imperium's existence. With the Votann having their own versions.
I kinda imagined them as like
"There's a ton of creatures that are dangerous and that lasguns cannot easily pierce"
"We make large gun that shoot explodey bullets"
"Perfect."
noble bear
bolt cannons would probably be practical but not small arms
storm jungle
Tbh, I've always seen Bolters being more effective as a morale breaking weapon. ...
Bolters' original purpose was generally to fight threats like orks
the terror factor is so and so
opaque coyote
the terror factor is so and so
it's the cherry on top
red as the blood that will probably splatter everywhere

but generally I think it was for Orks or other dangerous creatures
like the shit in Catachan
I always imagined power armor to be much more common in the DAoT era tbh
like "It's in my closet" type of common

It does, the Soviet 14.5mm round is discarded because 12.7mm is more efficient vs light armoured while medium would stop close to 20mm anyway.

I mean, GW is nothing if predictable
And no matter how many times they claim they want both settings to be distinct, history is a testament to the downright incestous quality of their writing
Meaning that if something is popular enough in Fantasy, it'll show up in 40K at some point or vice reversa
I'm still a bit peeved at how the Kin came out, so I can't say I care too much either way
hallow saddle
i think they did a good job with the kin, we just need more models, more lore and some cool characters
like theres loads of nods to the old squats but the kin are all new
the idea that they're just a bunch of clones that mine... because that's what they were made to do
sly ivy

Esp lore
digital glacier
Eh, it somehow removed all the fun stuff about the squat aesthetic, destroyed the potential of a true Xenos Dwarf faction, and then made them clones
sly ivy
Wait but they were always abhumans
digital glacier
They didn't even bother differentiate them from the Fantasy Dwarf esthetic, even though that was a great opportunity for something different
hallow saddle
the squat stuff did basically go to the ironhead squats in necromunda but yeah i get that

kinda makes him look alien and strange and mechanical

That book kinda felt so random

digital glacier
Well, they have like, these giant computers they worship that are malfunctionning
They blow up planets, some times with the inhabitants still on
And they're clones
hallow saddle
which is all insanely cool tbh
digital glacier
No real idea of how they fit in the Universe, their history of diplomacy with the Imperium, Eldar or otherwise
I could have done without the clones lol
Something is really wrong about Dwarfs without family ties
hallow saddle
i think they take the dwarf archetype and make it something new
sly ivy
The clone thing makes them weird and ties them more to the DAoT
hallow saddle
i mean they do have ancestor worship still
sly ivy
With its crazy biotech
hallow saddle
and like the kindreds are basically families, clans, w/e

I like that they didn’t try to go whimsical
Whimsical is played out Thor Ragnarok was a great movie but that was the end

I never said to make'em whimsical
digital glacier
I'd have made them even more down to earth
sly ivy

hallow saddle
i mean i guess you could see it as spawning lizards but i dont
