I love the modern trend of

"We have no money, we need to do austerity"

16 years of austerity

"Austerity didn't work, we're poorer now than before and we need to undo it"

1 year of trying to fix austerity

"We have no money so we will be doing austerity"

No dreadnoughts do not have a pivot rule

Ok after reading the rules im pretty sure the line of sight is being drawn from the base it just looks like the gun

#

Its a part of the base right under the gun

#

Wait no

#

It is model

#

WHY DID THEY DO IT LIKE THIS ITS SO CONFUSING

rocky gale
#

Good old GW

Their example mimicks a killteam rule which is different from 40k

Would the modern equivalent be Orks holding a standard of Donald Trump

Trump would be an Ogre from Fantasy

vagrant fox
#

what could it mean

storm jungle
#

"Unitology is totally not based on Scientology (we do not want to get sued and nuked by Tom Cruise)"

arctic talon
#

If the church of Scientology is mad enough they’ll unironically make you look like a terrorist

#

And plant evidence

or be sent to death camps

That’s when Xenuis about to come back

Super rich dude standards

opaque coyote
#

To be honest, a part of me wishes 40k kept the extremely obvious political satire

storm jungle
#

Same

rocky gale
#

I'm fine with it being toned down or made a bit more subtle in places, it's the historical revisionism to try and say it was never there in some cases which is annoying.

celest dome
opaque coyote
# storm jungle Same

But then again, it would've sorta undermined the unique atmosphere modern 40k has.

Still would be funny as shit to have a Hive world based off of Los Angeles

arctic talon
spring cairn
#

it's not really revisionism as much as it is just straight up ignorance in most cases imo

storm jungle
#

the more things change the more they stay the same

arctic talon
#

I said he seems nice

#

I have no clue if he isn’t one of those types

#

lol

spring cairn
#

most people just don't know anything but modern 40k

#

so they assume it was always this way

arctic talon
#

Core rulebook should be mandatory reading

#

lol

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

And then that’s like “modern” 40k

arctic talon
#

2e is almost modern 40k

#

And 3e is just modern 40k

opaque coyote
#

So the "old" period isn't that long

spring cairn

it got shitcanned p early on

#

Still miss the lore bit where instead of Magnus breaking the webway project

Emps actually did it to shout at Magnus

arctic talon

Pretty long

#

Like 8 years

rocky gale
#

Well tbf first edition was 1983, 2nd edition and 1993 and 3rd edition was 1998 and then 4th wasn't until 2004

#

So if it all ended by 4th, that's still 20 years

arctic talon
#

It all ended by 3e

#

Tbh

#

2e already was

#

Not as in your face satirey

#

And then 3e basically took away the rest

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

They already killed off squats in 2e and a lot of other stuff for “not fitting the vibe”

people legit got no idea how inhumanly demoralizing it is to just watch your mates get blown up by a force you cant even stop lol

Death via shrapnel or death via a bullet to the head

storm jungle

Not something I’d want to pick between

They’re not suicide drones

Or other explosives

Well still the demoralizing

Which like

"Oh you're in a tank"

Drone with c4 on it flies into the barrel of your turret and detonates

opaque coyote
#

Drone wave will already cause that so

storm jungle
#

yeah its why I mentione the Tau

#

people legit got no idea how OP drone warfare is

#

and how easily it can break apart most armies lol

Can this timeline get any more wacked

#

Why am I asking of course it can

arctic talon
#

Also yes that’s a gun from WW2

#

Idk why it’s still in service but it works so whatever

queen laurel
#

You going to have to work with what you have

vagrant fox
#

Don't worry, Russia has also been using WW2 howitzers as of late

arctic talon

And their current border conflict is like seemingly becoming an actual hot one

queen laurel

Unlikely

arctic talon
#

Well if it works it works

queen laurel

queen laurel

So they just have to scrounge up whatever they can find

I just think they’re sending cheap stuff out first

basically there were hostile xenos species that preyed on humanity but there was about as many that werent and even lived with humans as per many HH books.

The Imperium just annihilated them all

#

It’s on 40% sale already

#

It took dominion most of 3e to reach that low

Also the entire reason they even named it Saturnine is because they knew people would buy the fuck out of it. I extremely respect it as a business decision, id do the same lol

There's a dude with a homophobic profile in the rogue trader server but idk if I should point it out to the mods because he hasn't actually done anything yet

#

Unasked for advice from me: I’d point it out even if they haven’t done anything. The less of these types of “x”phobic people infest Warhammer, the better.

Also, although they haven’t done anything yet, I can infer that they’ll do something eventually if their profile is blatantly homophobic.

# lament shoal Also yeah there's really no other way to interpret this guy's bio lmao

He's not bugging anyone though. Not that I know of anyways.

I do believe having woke stuff for the sake of woke with little to no effort and laziness into implementing stuff that people would consider "woke" can be harmful. Especially if it's just a bad game, movie etcetera overall but you get labeled as "sexist" or "racist" just because you have an opinion about something.

No one should be labeled as bad just because they don't like woke stuff.

Woke is use as a generalized slang term now for people on the right as "fake woke people who are crazy" that's what woke means to people on the right. At least most of the people on the right that aren't actually bad. KEKW_ogryn

The new Star Wars trilogy is a perfect example of that. Sure it has some redeemable stuff, but just a few..

What I wish they did with Finn is have em as a loyal stormtrooper, I don't like the lazy reused trope of "oh they rebel". Wasted potential. Doesn't matter anyways, damage has been done. Also, he's not wrong about the rainbow thing either. It's actually a part of the faith.

#

Crazy that we're witch hunting a guy who may or may not be actually bad based on "go woke go broke" and their faith.

#

It's not like he hates people or doing a hate crime.

#

Then it be a different story all together.

#

Also, people like that will always exist in Warhammer 40k communities, official, public or fan made private etc.

#

Can't really gate keep that.

#

You should welcome all, as long as they're not actually bad.

there's a reason it exists because literally there have been many documented cases of people with having spaceman PFP being rather insane

Oh like genuinely people can have a space marine PFP and be good people that's true but like there is a reason there's a stigma around space marine PFP

Still can’t fucking believe that Eldar didn’t get a Christmas army box still, or any army box for that matter

#

Battalions or what ever it’s called

shadow plover

Christmas box sets are never for every faction

#

Battleforces that is

rose thorn
#

Battle forces that’s what I meant

#

Eldar haven’t gotten one since 2015

shadow plover

think it's always a select 6

rose thorn
#

Elder got the second largest update in their history and got a combat patrol that includes 1 new kit

#

I’m just crashing out

shadow plover

Votann didn't even get a new release box set disco

rose thorn

They got a Christmas box

#

With new stuff

shadow plover

of old minis

rose thorn

It’s all old?

shadow plover
#

one new kit, the artillery

#

oh and the car

but the rest are old

#

but none with the models they have would get that box set

rose thorn

Isn’t the hero new?

shadow plover

no it's old

rose thorn

Damn

shadow plover

these are the new ones

rose thorn

Ahhhh

#

Oh and the named guy

shadow plover

ye and him

#

I would've probably gotten the battleforce if it had one or two of the new characters and the steeljacks instead of the berserkers and the old character

rose thorn
#

I was really hoping for an Eldar or kroot battle force

shadow plover
#

but I'm probably getting the Emperor's Children one anyways

rose thorn
#

That box is so fucking depressing it’s hilarious

#

It’s like

3 kits?

shadow plover
#

wdym it's amazing if you got the launch box

rose thorn
shadow plover
#

it's literally everything except lucius of the new releases

#

these two go together so well

I only need the kakophoni character and lucius

it's 5 kits, the elite units come in kits of 3

#

no wait the noise marines don't

they're a kit of 6

Eldar could fit, so no excuses there.

Already confirmed, and in-game but just not playable.

I've zero expectations that we'll get a playable eldar, at most a named character as a mission giver/story character

I want Eldar

How funny would it be if they added a new mission to kill some big bad but when you get there hes already dead and there's a eldar teleporting away

Would something like a phone be one machine spirit or several

One for each component like a chip

#

Nono even better, a computer

#

Gpu machine spirit, cpu machine spirit, motherboard machine spirit?

wet sandal
#

generally cogitators are considered to have 1 machine spirit

#

but really its one of those things that entirely depends on the author

#

at the same time things like ships can have 1 machine spirit for the entire ship and smaller machine spirits for subsystems

storm jungle
#

think of it like a human body yea as Alu said

#

a machine spirit gets more complex the bigger the machine is

wet sandal

its the same thing as asking whether a program is one thing or the different functions and methods inside it are separate entities

Are necrons the only faction that can achieve FTL speed without the warp?

Tyranids have to have ftl

They've traveled over 100,000 lightyears in the last 10,000 years

#

They do space compression but the krakens have to do 10c or they'd still be on the galactic rim

crystal forum
winged jacinth
#

Tyranid ftl is really slow compared to everyone including tau as of their last upgrade but they're still faster than light is

prime seal

#

Tyranids have the fastest ftl in 40k they always arrive exactly when the author wants them too

winged jacinth
#

Which sure its like an alcubierre drive where the space around you is moving not you but still

prime seal
winged jacinth
#

Necron ftl has actual unknown speed iirc despite presumably being the only tech with a constant speed lol

#

The ships just show up out of phase, how far did they travel and when did they start who knows

#

Technically the tau have the fastest ftl if you count ||the startide nexus KEKW_ogryn ||

prime seal
#

it makes no sense for the tau not to have had ftl the second they started expanding

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

The tau having their slow ftl retconned was so dumb
Like why? Do you know how far apart stars are?

storm jungle
#

to be fair literally NOBODY liked that FTL change either, it was such a weird addition and probably one of the only examples of how a retcon actually ruined the lore

#

(contrary to what a lot of people in this fandom say)

winged jacinth
#

"Crossing the empire used to take months" writers earth is more than a lightyear from the nearest star and its probably got no useful planets

counting tau lifespan yeah its complete stoopid but whatever

Gravitic drives as warp skimmers was good

yeah tho theres a lot of ways to use FTL in the lore

its just kinda varied on bullshit technology

(also race-specifics)

Tau did need faster ftl just to stay relevant

they are inside a necron dynasty space that is bigger than their entire borders
