#

Im assuming invincible vs is a fighting game that's not on a known franchise skeleton so we won't know if its good until people spend a week in the lab with it

storm jungle
#

im only here for the memes it produces tbh

nocturne crest
#

If Eldar and Necrons got the ability to take any unit in 40k, would that be broken or funny?

Do you play fighting games

storm jungle

tag fighter with no motion inputs

storm jungle
#

oh lol

winged jacinth
#

People will love one game and hate another based on ways it controls you cant tell from video

#

The necrons used to take human blanks KEKW_ogryn

storm jungle
#

Tbh it wasnt even "take"

#

there was an entire unit and lore around it

#

Pariahs my love

prime seal
#

we've seen the gameplay

#

and we know it has no motion imputs

winged jacinth
storm jungle
#

đŸ˜©

#

I meant "take" as an literally yoinking something off of someones army on a table but yeah that works too lol

winged jacinth
#

I also loved pariahs

#

Kind of a weird until for oldcrons that makes more sense for newcrons but got cut for newcrons but i love them

storm jungle
#

Tbh the entire reason they were even removed was due to tabletop nonsense. I really hope they bring them back one day, GW loves and always successfuly banks really good on nostalgia.

winged jacinth
#

Oldcrons making pariahs was like ????
But i could see half the dynasts doing it for fun now

storm jungle
#

My homebrew dynasty's female phaeron has a small entourage of them since shes big on serfdom

#

yeah exactly lmao

#

Also necron tech can literally let them do ANYTHING so like lol

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

They don't even play GG they don't play any fighting games loregryn

storm jungle
#

Yeah I know but i must accuse

daring creek
#

That's not nice to say dilara

storm jungle

daring creek
#

My bf is a guilty gear player...

storm jungle
#

Im sorry....

daring creek
#

Give me 500 dollars

normal light
prime seal
#

also i dont like modern guilty

wintry cloud
#

What is a Pariah

normal light
prime seal
storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

Wasnt the old lore for the pariah gene that the necrons/ctan created it for the purpose of making bases for pariahs

storm jungle
#

Yeah they did

prime seal
storm jungle
wintry cloud
#

And im guessing the “pariah nexus” thing has something to do with pariahs

normal light
storm jungle
#

Nah

winged jacinth
#

Which i guess they have blackstone now which wasn't really a thing (besides the pylons) but pariahs were cool and would be cooler for newcrons

storm jungle
#

the pariah nexus' thing is that its a massive blank field across systems of space

daring creek
prime seal
#

it's 100% strive tell that mfer to buy sf5, the last bastion of modern fighting games until VF comes out

daring creek
#

He has strive

wintry cloud
winged jacinth
storm jungle
prime seal
#

go on

storm jungle
#

it completely cuts you off from the Warp

daring creek
#

What else

wintry cloud
#

So this is a good thing?

daring creek
#

Whats the other one

wintry cloud
#

Why fight it

storm jungle
#

It is for necrons

daring creek
#

The older one

storm jungle
winged jacinth
#

The pariah nexus is a giant blackstone array iirc no pariahs involved 🙁

storm jungle
#

they go into the Nexus they suffer the "stilling"

prime seal
storm jungle
#

Strive is great

daring creek
#

Lmao

wintry cloud
#

So we all drop dead if the nexus is completed i guess

#

Lose connection with our souls?

storm jungle
prime seal
#

XX is great thats one of the best fighting gamess ever made

storm jungle
wintry cloud
#

Scary.

storm jungle
#

you got it lmao

daring creek
#

Yeah I'm positive he has xx

winged jacinth
#

Being cut off from the warp is really uncomfortable at best for normal humans which is why they cant stand blanks

storm jungle
#

^

#

all human souls are tied to the Warp yeah so its bad for us

#

necrons are redditors so they got no souls

#

(actual lore)

daring creek
#

LOL

storm jungle
#

ok minus the reddit part but still

daring creek
#

No reddit is definitely a thing in 40k

storm jungle
#

the Emperor probably founded r/atheism.....

winged jacinth
#

Ctan technology would have enabled galactic reddit (this caused the collapse of both sides in the war in heaven)

daring creek
prime seal
#

cause online it's kind of dead with no scene the only old fighting game i can play consistently quickly online is 3rd Strike

#

the second best fighter of all time

storm jungle
#

yeah uh

winged jacinth
#

Did they ever address how a blank feels in the pariah nexus?

storm jungle
#

certain another "take"

storm jungle
#

im pretty sure it was nothing lol

#

because like... well Blanks have no souls so

winged jacinth
#

If they're ok then the tau probably wouldn't mind either

#

Blanks have like, negative soul

storm jungle
#

Nah like they literally got no soul

#

when they die they outright cease to exist

#

adios Dr Jones

winged jacinth
#

Robots arent holes in the warp like that though

#

It does seem like the kind of thing being cut off from wouldn't matter though

storm jungle
#

Im gonna make a hole in you in a minute if you keep up these questions

winged jacinth
#

Tau and non-psykerskein kin would probably tolerate ok too

#

They kinda gloss over how the leagues have figured out psyker genetics more than anyone since the old ones

#

They can design a cloneskein to be psychic on purpose which i guess means they know how it works at least at the most base level

daring creek
#

But atleast they die die and not go in the warp

winged jacinth
#

Yeah no afterlife is honestly a plus in 40k lmao

#

I don’t know how

Okay, today's would you rather for you all. Would you rather GW make a new game based on the Badab War or a new game based on the war of the beast?

celest dome
#

Like video game or table top game ?

#

I mean, neither are really interesting

#

Babab would have more potential at least

#

Blood Pact and Saint Sabbat

VTMB2 reviews are in and it's "story, VA, and writing are good/very good" "gameplay eugh"

Would you like your SM Slop with or without orks?

celest dome

I do not want SM Slop

queen laurel
nocturne crest
#

Is it that bad?

queen laurel
#

Then you add to that the plot line which it looks like it's constructed by a kid with a hammer and toy nails

#

one beast literally going toe to toe with a primarch and the guy had to sacrifice himself just to defeat that one and then you're telling me there's more of them

celest dome
#

There is hardly any need to introduce a new side TT

  • Main 40k for armies
  • Kill Team for squads
  • Necromunda for better squads
  • Acopalypse for bigger enemies (not really supported)
  • Aeronauticalis for planes (not really supported)
queen laurel
#

Get that shit outta here

celest dome
queen laurel
celest dome
#

If GW was to plan a new (smaller) TT, I honestly think copying Munda's idea but setting it in AoS would be the best idea

#

Cities of Sigmar, Guild based (instead of Gang Houses), adding some Criminal Guilds, some Mercenaries and maybe even some interloopers

vagrant fox
#

There's enough space marines, as funny as Badab is, and I don't want to see anything related to The Beast

#

however, the octarius war, that'll put hair on your chest

Something like that could be neat

the game is definitely at "best" mediocre

we'll see once I play it one distant free day

#

An average of 6ish from all those is mildly amusing though

prime seal

i never noticed that

prime seal
languid meadow
#

everything I've seen it's legit just like the first game besides a couple of things

#

good story and writing

#

shit ass gameplay

prime seal
#

its also janky as shit?

languid meadow
#

some people report it's jank asf some don't

#

every copy is personalized

prime seal
#

oh nah the og is pure jank

#

no one gets to run away from it

#

okay nah it just looks like shit

#

might play it cause night time cities in open games like the first one are hard to make

wintry cloud

Wonder what that’s like

arctic talon
#

Well

#

Yes but no

wintry cloud
arctic talon
#

Some of them can but generally no

#

Most of them still completely lack a sex drive

wintry cloud
#

Makes sense
.id assume enough slaanesh corruption can probably get you doing stuff again

arctic talon
#

It is considered weird if you have one still

#

But most EC marines are more obsessed with the other parts of slaaneshi corruption

I never wouldve imagined thought-gooning before

Isnt that just using your imagination

wintry cloud

Guess i need to broaden my horizons

spring cairn
#

if the story's that good and the gameplay's mid af

#

i'll just watch someone else play it

storm jungle
#

I really just do not like how the game looks

#

also discount Johnny Silvercuck in your brain

spring cairn
#

spoiler smh

wintry cloud
#

My brain has come up with a even newer question

Why the hell don’t chaos forces have hair?

#

Or they have that stupid tall cone on their head

abbadon does

#

in the top knot

Whats the design philosophy

Magnus has hair

vagrant fox

baldophobia propaganda

#

Im most excited for nurgles blood warrior/liberator equivalent

arctic talon
#

They already exist

#

No?

#

Wait nvm im dumb

wintry cloud
#

Blightkings yeah
Those are the elite though

young pecan
celest dome
#

OHH Cogfort that would be nice

wintry cloud
#

There’s usually like 3 levels
Human (kinda)
Stormcast strength
Elite of the elite

#

Nurgle had the last tier
Missing the lesser two tiers

celest dome
#

Cogfort, Festus, Woman Maneater, New dawi, and Gargant Matriarch, god AoS is eating good

arctic talon
wintry cloud
#

Those are demons

arctic talon
#

Because the fucked daemons in the ass viability wise

#

lol

wintry cloud
#

Im talking about mortals

arctic talon
#

Well they’re part of the same faction

wintry cloud
#

Darkoath
Chaos warrior
Chosen

#

For example

#

Bloodreaver
Blood warrior
Wrathmonger/skullcrusher

sacred bluff
#

new show about gay guy joining marines on netflix is okay nod

arctic talon
#

Again. Plaguebearers are part of the faction and they fulfill that human chaff role imo

#

Which sucks

wintry cloud
#

Well

#

They can literally have different rules

#

Plus

#

Khorne has bloodletters do they not?

arctic talon
#

Bloodletters overlap with bloodreavers as well

#

Yes

#

And it sucks there’s overlap like that lol

wintry cloud
#

Pretty sure they do different things

arctic talon
#

Lesser Daemons kinda suck fn in AoS

#

They serve the same role

#

In a list

wintry cloud
#

You play competitive?

arctic talon
#

I dabble in it for AoS

wintry cloud
#

:/

arctic talon
#

What

#

lol

#

I can play both comp and casual

celest dome
#

Aren't Blightking Liberator levels ?

arctic talon
#

Bigger

#

They’re an elite unit

wintry cloud
arctic talon
#

Literally what is wrong with me liking comp

wintry cloud
#

No wait wait

arctic talon
#

Me thinking that lesser daemons aren’t unique and suffer from an overlapping role isn’t a comp thing

daring creek
#

Friend of mine got into college

arctic talon
#

That’s literally just a flavor L from GW

daring creek
#

Guess what her degree is

arctic talon
#

Political science? Idk

wintry cloud
daring creek
#

Computer science

wintry cloud
#

Since you say they’re the same role

#

Thats all

arctic talon
#

Okay the thing is

daring creek
arctic talon
#

Both are designed to hold objectives

#

And serve as basic melee chaff

#

They both are designed for that role

#

Their abilities encourage you to use them differently, but the fact that they both are designed to serve that role is lame

celest dome
#

Bloodletters should be made into more proactive troops that will charge, you can't keep them on objectives for too long
Where Reavers should be a more flexible unit

wintry cloud
#

I see what you mean

arctic talon
#

If you want me to dissect the reasons why I can explain

#

One moment lemme pull up their sheets

wintry cloud
#

Different roles with abilities but i think what you’re moreso saying is chaos tends to be “more infantry please!”

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

anyways, GW's basic chaos troop for nurgle imo

#

needs to be distinct from plaguebearers

#

the same way daemonettes and blissbarb archers are distinct

wintry cloud
#

Blissbarbs are probably the best example yeah

#

They’re the low tier humans but fully ranged

arctic talon
#

Okay so

#

Bloodreavers are a generally "inferior" unit on paper

#

Worse attack, worse wound roll, save, ect.

celest dome
#

Better save ?

arctic talon
#

nope

wintry cloud
#

Worse save

arctic talon
#

bloodreavers are just inferior to bloodletters aside from points cost

#

Bloodletters also have a movement ability

wintry cloud
#

Lower the number for save the stronger

arctic talon
#

however this ironically is to the bloodletters detrament that they're better

#

Due to how blades of khornes army rule works

celest dome
#

Right save numbers is the requirement loregryn

arctic talon
#

where you want to spam the shit out of disposable chaff to die for the blood god

#

since you want at least 50%(total) of both your opponet and your list to be dead

#

the easiest way to do so is load up on garbage to send to the slaughter

#

and you also get blood tithe points whenever your dudes die

#

so even more incentive to spam the shit out of bloodreavers

#

Anyways, this leads to the issue that while on paper, there is competition between the 2, even in a casual environment.

#

People want to play with their fun abilities

#

and Bloodletters do not enable that

#

so like smarf

wintry cloud
#

Yeah to be honest they really are some chaff with crit mortals

#

If they get hit by anything they explode just like a reaver does.

A 5+ 6+ ward isn’t blocking anything

arctic talon
#

Yeeep

#

Its an awkward existence

#

Which is why I'm hoping that the basic nurgle infantry serves an actual purpose rather then just replacing plague bearers

wintry cloud
#

Hey don’t worry, maybe GW will give us MORE infantry


Exalted daemons (yippe!!)

arctic talon
#

its more fun to build lists when more stuff is viable

#

Prolly why I'm so happy with both my factions in AoS and 40k rn

#

most of their book is viable

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

lol

wintry cloud
arctic talon
#

now I am not a game designer

#

but I have an idea

wintry cloud
#

Im assuming the “human” variant for nurgle would just be like half zombie dudes or something

#

So just chaff

arctic talon
#

They could be more elite

#

ultimately imo the best way to go about it is that Plaguebearers rn are more durable to ranged attacks

#

which is weird but whatever

rose thorn
#

Khul has rules in a WD, he’s just a demon prince

wintry cloud
#

Rumors say khul will be back in full force end of this year

arctic talon
#

The human infantry for nurgle could be some sort of unit that wants to stay away from the enemy

wintry cloud
#

For the 10th anniversary thing

arctic talon
#

and be stronger against melee attacks

#

once they're stuck in

#

like an inverse plaguebearer

wintry cloud
#

That would be cool actually

arctic talon
#

where they want to get stuck in, and are more durable to getting shot off the board until they get stuck in

wintry cloud
#

I wonder how the 10 block superhuman stat would be like

#

Blood warriors and chaos warriors are already chunky as hell

arctic talon
#

5", 2w, 3+?

#

and then give them like

#

a FNP or ward save

wintry cloud
#

Would be almost too close to blood warriors

For some reason they made the khorne berserkers of BoK tanky as hell

#

Rather than like damage

arctic talon
#

could give them a shitty normal save and load up on FNPs

#

idk

#

AoS doesn't like FNP

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

actually wait

#

ward saves are FNP

#

I'm stupid

wintry cloud
#

Khorne and slaves are the only two will the full human roster
Nurgle is up next

rose thorn
rose thorn
wintry cloud
#

Meatballs

rose thorn
#

All 4 factions have full human releases

#

The blight kings are their infantry

wintry cloud
#

Let me explain again

#

There are spots missing

#

Is what i mean

#

Nurgles spots are being filled

rose thorn
#

Ah, I still think what you mean is flawed but I understand what you mean now

wintry cloud
#

Im mostly talking from lore not balance

rose thorn
#

I know

#

Everyone getting a cog fort lmao

wintry cloud
#

Did you guys see the “walking cities” titan rumor for AoS

#

Or something

#

Wait

#

That’s literally what you’re talking anout

celest dome
#

Aren't they more "Land Ships" than Walking Cities

wintry cloud
#

Maybe not then

#

Lemme double check

#

I found it

rose thorn
wintry cloud
rose thorn
#

nighthaunt noob and white fang are the only ones who have at least some level of validity last i checked

wintry cloud
#

Oh yeah its the “boole” guy

#

Guess he sucks

#

Pain

rose thorn
#

let me check boole

#

"12 freeguild gargants" is sof cuking funny

arctic talon
#

3000 black jets of sigmar

celest dome
rose thorn
#

lmao, in lore cog forts are literally larger than 3 mega gargants, i reallyodubt htey are doing real cog forts

arctic talon
#

That would be like

rose thorn
#

at most its mini cogforts to replace steam tanks

arctic talon
#

A forgeworld project lol

rose thorn
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

And forgeworld is moving away from doing stuff for the main games

#

(Unless the plastic titan rumors are true)

#

In which that case uhhhh

rose thorn
#

whip them and send them to the HH mines

arctic talon
#

They’re prolly gona test it in 40k first

#

lol

#

On the taunar and warhound

hallow saddle
arctic talon
#

Yeah

hallow saddle
#

so plastic titan still tracks

#
  • all the rumoured refreshes
arctic talon
#

Plastic titan plans are insane

#

To me tbh

celest dome
#

I want Cogfort to be Ironclad but on legs

hallow saddle
#

idk, it does make sense for them to move away from resin

celest dome
#

Nothing more KEKW_ogryn

hallow saddle
#

so either it's work out how to do titans in plastic (which will no problems selling imo, & they can scale production so much better in plastic)

#

or not do titans any more

#

resin casting is entirely manual & theres been so many quality control issues with foreworld

#

like you could easily imagine a plasstic warhound selling out instantly if it comes to plastic

arctic talon
#

For sure

#

I’m sad FW discontinued all their AoS stuff

#

Tbh

#

Then again they’ve been discontinuing everything slowly that isn’t heresy/munda/bloodbowl

rose thorn
#

its for the better sadly

arctic talon
#

Yeah

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

But I still like the stuff

arctic talon
hallow saddle
#

i think anything remotely popular will come to plastic

#

but yeah i'll miss the niche sstuff

arctic talon
#

That’s a lot of stuff then lmao

#

Welcome back Tau and guard forgeworld in plastic ig

hallow saddle
#

it is a lot

#

like for the past few years GW have been buying more and more injection molding machines & trying to maximise the space for plastic

arctic talon
#

They’ve also been working on a new factory

hallow saddle
#

it just makes so much sense for them to push for fully plastic

arctic talon
#

Once that gets open hopefully they’ll have less stock issues

hallow saddle
#

it scales so well

arctic talon
#

Prolly not

#

But it would be funny

hallow saddle
#

i wonder if they will

#

i can see stuff like necromunda still being resin for niche models

arctic talon
#

Likely

hallow saddle
#
  • the guy that runs the specialist design studio is a particularly big necromunda enjoyer
arctic talon
#

Yeah because Munda is peak

celest dome
#

Munda is best

#

AoS Munda would be peakÂČ

arctic talon
celest dome
#

Apply similar formula

arctic talon
#

So the dregs

#

Alright fun

celest dome
#

Specific City of Sigmar

#

Replace the House Gangs by Guild Gangs maybe ?

#

But have bigger variety as CoS have human, Elfs, Dwarfs as common, Ogor more rarely, and probably quite a few Skaven in the sewers (which could be available as part of some Guilds or other)

arctic talon
#

Make it over one of nagash’s funny sepalchurs as well

#

Then we can have undead

#

Or we can do order aligned undead

celest dome
#

Ye yes

#

No no no

arctic talon
celest dome
#

Have the Undead be some sort of Malstrain GSC or Corpse Grinder cult sort of situation

arctic talon
#

Ah

celest dome
#

They're not legal, but they're tough enough and the city is big enough that a band of undead fighting it out in the back allays isn't causing too much problems.

#

Ash Waste Nomads being Orruck maybe ?

arctic talon
#

Yeah

celest dome
#

Would it be better to have Magisters/Winds of Magic be set around different gangs, or would a gang be set around the Magisters (Kinda like how Van Saar is the Tech gang, or Delague has a lot of Psyker stuff, but there are some other Psyker stuff in other gangs)

storm jungle
#

its basically nonsense

since its essentialyl like Tongues

you're not even essentially saying actual words so to speak

celest dome

It is essentially the Words of God, or reality as it was

literally with the Babel bit yeah

so random question, are there any tech-priests that basically look like tech-marines? just a giant ass dude in massive armor

celest dome
#

Myrmidon ?

storm jungle
#

I got some techpriest OCs who are all varying bodyshapes, hold on

hallow saddle

i cant think of any but also yeah no reason why not

#

so if i wanted to make a tech-priest OC that looked like a quad-leg from AC i could

celest dome
#

Yes

hallow saddle

yeah for sure

u should kitbash a model for them itll be cool

plush mason
storm jungle
#

Heres 4 from me of my techpriest OCs

image.png image.png image.png image.png
#

basically techpriests are just kept "humanoid" because its easier on artists and model-makers. Its why you rarely get anything creative on miniature releases unless its artwork where the artists sometimes can get creative.

#

techpriests dont really get any limitations on how they can look/appear, it just depends on the resources they got access to with each status, political level and just fashion sense lol

Your tech priests lose to my tank platoon

Which chapters are most likely to have a marine named John?

plush mason

any non DA english knight coded one

#

DA tend to have angelic names

rocky gale

Probably the Sons of John or the John Marines, although possibly the Iron Johns and the John Angels

vital ginkgo
#

Quite possibly

rocky gale
#

Really though I'd probably say Black Templars since like they use the Maltese cross which is the Cross of the Order of St John

#

John is one of those names which are actually quite old and used by a bunch of medieval historical figures but due to it's modern usage it doesn't seem so, like Britney

Skull Helm

The Skull Helm is a helm used by Space Marine Chaplains, a stern visage that evokes the Emperor's wrath. These helms may take many different forms and have been crafted by numerous Space Marine artificers across the galaxy. Universally, however, they are all fearsome and intimidating in aspect. An icon of battle and death, every aspect of it ...

#

https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Chaplain

Chaplain

Space Marine Chaplains are the spiritual leaders of Space Marine Chapters.
Warrior-priests, they fight alongside their battle-brothers, chanting the Chapter's sacred battle creeds, and inspiring their brethren to greater feats of bravery. To enemies they appear as terrifying and sinister figures in black power armour and skull-visaged helmets.[10]

#

the whole helmet or the face plate is in the shape of a skull so most likely not a real skull

This may be a silly question, but with how absolutely messed up Tertiam (the area we play missions is), why do they send operatives down instead of just blowing it up, or the planet up

I didn’t really pay attention the story, but during that infested tree mission, why not just nuke it, and then there’s data grabbing missions like the one at the top of the satellite, what was that about, why did we risk going there

Tertium and Atoma the planet itself has industrial output of leman russ tanks as well as moebian steel, a special ore the planet produces for other weaponry that gets shipped out to the Imperium.

So before one of the previous updates it was indeed just to inspect the tree, after a bigger update now you return one-time to destroy the tree permamently, with the announcers of the mission sometime mentioning that it may require a future mission to make sure its actually not regrowing.

#

Its also because the tree has essentially infected an entire hab-block and acts as a contamination source, probably having at that point infested thousands of people, you can find sources of its corruption as far back as the starter areas of the mission

terse kestrel
#

So I did pay attention a little bit it seems. Darktides story is an underrated marvel, it’s a shame they don’t have the studio to develop it as well as they could

storm jungle
#

To be fair they do, its more that horde-shooter games dont really do massive plots, its always gradual or revealed through characters and their banter etc.

#

Its how its been done since Left 4 Dead since its largely more consumable for casual or pro players that just want to play the game without any extra hindrances.

the reason that system works in like L4D and WWZ is the characters and weapon loadouts are separate so it doesnt matter

with VT if you want to level a specific character or play a specific way the only way to do that reliably is host your own games

So mutation in 40k, can you get mutations that affect your behavior.

#

That aren't directly caused from Chaos.

#

By directly I mean things like becoming a Chaos Spawn because of getting too many "blessings" or somebody or something with intent just deciding to mutate you.

I mean purely accidental. Or even just getting bit by a creature.

With the large influx of rabble into the Inquisition's ranks comes certain risks. Infiltration amongst the loyalist ranks is always a concern and one of many traitors is found and dealt with aboard the Mourningstar. At a glance, a reject by the name of Mara Vinci would appear like any other no-hoper progressing along their Path of Trust after being press-ganged into Inquisitorial service,
Holy shit
She has a name?

All I knew other than traitor is she was thunder hammer girl on the main menu

@opaque coyote mundane, non-Chaos mutation is also a thing in 40k. But that having been said, Imperial policy and (some) mundane mutations being damaging to the human mind and psyche

#

Means unfortunately, they get "lumped together" with warp caused mutations

Now that i think about it, are the mutant specialist enemies mutated by chaos, or by some man made stuff?

The imperial truth was place in effect under the thought that it would weaken chaos because religion and faith pushed people to chaos, the exact opposite was proven the outcome by the siege of terra.

If the Emperor became some kind of dark god or something, the good perceptions of the entire Imperium about him would probably make him either more of a neutral god, or make him tweak out

Yeah theres no way the setting will implode.

He'd just make his own realm in the Warp and act as the astronomicon while Terra imploded and the imperium fractured to warlord states

at the end of the day the only thing GW cares about is selling minis + that people can still field their own armies
