Seems it isnt

midnight dragon

#

the Warp literally existed since the time of creation

#

the chaos gods just grew to be its biggest landlords

warp is reality debug

yeah there it is

#

lol

native spade
#

In 40k

storm jungle
native spade
#

Then again, the timeline doesnt lend itselt to it

storm jungle
#

40k is very boring in that regard

native spade
storm jungle
native spade
#

Its just "Huge fuckass war happens, trillions perish, god takes the back step"

storm jungle
#

Not really

#

lol

#

Literally every single Chaos, Order and Destruction god takes their stakes in the realms

#

not sure where you made the "they take a step back" thing

GOOD NEWS GANG
My friend broke his vertebrae! He'll have free time to run CoC! Meruyay

copper island
#

what's CoC

heady rivet
#

He is crippled for months.

heady rivet
copper island
#

I see

#

i'm sorry to hear that

native spade
copper island
#

or maybe that's good idrk

native spade
#

And some fuckass massive war always goes on

#

With massive casualties

native spade
#

And nothing substantial happens

storm jungle
copper island
#

oh shit

#

😭

native spade
#

Except for the Necroquake

storm jungle
#

lol

#

AoS gods also have avatars that usually take to the field too

native spade
#

I still find 40k to be more flushed out, rather than be mythical like AoS is

native spade
#

AoS' size scope feels off to me, idk

storm jungle
#

AoS is pretty fleshed out too, its just that anyone that makes any criticism of it has not read a single thing about it.

#

a very common running trope lol

#

40k is just "chaos gods lol idk"

#

AoS as well as WHF have always done a better job regarding deities than 40k

native spade
#

WHFB defo did it the best

storm jungle
#

AOS is the exact same

storm jungle
#

so there isnt really a difference

#

aside from just bias lol

native spade
#

I said before that i do not enjoy AoS, but i am waiting for this new End Times 2. Thing they will pull off

storm jungle
#

Again you saying you dont enjoy it kinda proves my point

heady rivet
#

It was a honeypot

storm jungle
#

there is also no end times

#

lol

native spade
#

I am not a Fantasy grognard

storm jungle
#

lol

native spade
#

Through the Codices and the Wiki

storm jungle
#

Yeah that explains it LMAO

native spade
#

The battletomes i mean

storm jungle
#

i had friends who read some 40k and instantly disliked the setting

#

so its not really a IP specific thing

native spade
#

The books arent that better IMO, the new Gotrek books tried go milk nostalgia HARD

storm jungle
#

They very much are good

native spade
#

Though, i must say

storm jungle
#

They also dont "milk" gotrek

#

he has like 5 books amidst thousands of others lol

native spade
#

I really liked the depiction of Nurgle in that one exerpt from a stormcast book

copper island
#

is warhammer age of sigmar NOT the same as warhammer fantasy

storm jungle
#

it is

native spade
copper island
#

because i was told otherwise i think

storm jungle
#

its a sequel setting

copper island
#

i see

storm jungle
#

like saying "this setting doesnt do this well" when it very much does is lol

native spade
#

What is wrong with my opinions exactly? Other than conflicting with yours?

storm jungle
#

"yours" bruh

#

AoS mythos is like one of its most universally praised portions

native spade
storm jungle
#

i know some friends who dont like the setting instantly get enamoured from reading codex passages regarding the gods in AoS

#

40k is way more bland in mythology in comparison

#

its literally nothing but chaos gods and thats it lmao

#

its objectively way more diverse

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

^

#

this is it yes

#

I dont like AoS much either and im a 40k fangirl, but it very much still does a lot of things better than 40k, its one of the reasons why it has such a big fanbase

heady rivet
#

I dont follow AoS but my favorite thing is my friend was telling me how Sigmar was like "What if we take our cities and push them somewhere else" and then they just did it NazrinHappi

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

its because its the more famous setting

#

the more famous the more marketably bland you get

#

it draws in more customers

native spade
#

I critisized the size scope of the setting, like i said. I do not have a bias on it since i am not a Fantasy Grognard, but i prefer WHFB myself since its a lot more grimier than AoS is and is much more grounded

storm jungle
#

which isnt a bad thing becuause the only thing getting affected is uh

#

well loyalist space marines and guard

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

aka lol lmao

#

Tbh, as far as a Mike Brooks novel went, it was good

storm jungle

it was great

#

also m/m main couple was a surprise lol

#

copper island
#

GAY PEOPLE πŸ”₯

native spade
#

I dont really like his writing, but then again. He is the only guy who writes about stuff i like

storm jungle
#

Brooks is very pro-queer yea

rancid cove
raven stone
storm jungle
#

Brooks writing is really great imo

heady rivet
storm jungle
#

he acknowledges 40k is inherently goofy

#

which is one of the reasons i like his writing

native spade
#

Thats where i dislike him lol. He, imo takes the grit out of the setting

#

Plus, the female Ogryn psyker just made me cringe

storm jungle
#

was that him?

native spade
#

Yeah

#

He wrote the Ogryn psyker

storm jungle
#

no thats Nate Crowley

#

LMAO

rancid cove
storm jungle
#

^

#

its why i like it

native spade
storm jungle
#

like the opening of the Alpha Legion novel has them look at a hydra tank

#

and be like

#

"Hehe hydra, thats like our thing."

#

"Lmao yeah"

#

feels more realistic that way to me lol

rancid cove
# storm jungle its why i like it

I like both ends of the spectrum, the pointing out the stupid shit and the grim serious ones
Can't say I'd want an entire book on it since most authors probably won't make it work very good but having these both views are great

storm jungle
#

yeah exactly, if i want a gritty dark novel ill go read an author that does that

#

40k books are suppose to be like an ice cream shop

native spade
#

I mean, i wont go over too much of his political stances but Sarkon Aggad made me double read the passage

#

Atleast make your meta commentary discreet bro

#

😭

storm jungle
#

Discreet?

#

in this age?

#

lol

rancid cove
#

Some people will take it too seriously in universe because all they know is of duty
But then you have the casual guardsman which for him is regular thursday having to deal with the universe they live in

native spade
#

Dont like the guy, btw

#

Sargon

storm jungle
#

I like his political stuff tbh

#

hes pro-queer and a really woke guy which is a welcome change

#

especially when most of BL writers are bald white guys who feel very backward

Hitler was against capitalism but then hit one of those "Okay we do a little now and we can dump it all later" like China did

storm jungle

#

China went from "communist" to just capitalist fascism

#

again, there has never been an actually communist nation

#

ever

native spade
# rocky gale Did Marx do that?

Marx was a rabid racist for his day too, and it does not matter. Its like saying Mussolini was relatively innocent because it was Hitler who killed the most undesireables

storm jungle

"Marx was a rabid racist"

#

LITERALLY EVERYONE WAS BACK THEN

Communism has killed untold millions.

Hegelian bullshit

no russian or slavic nation thats "red" has ever been socialist or communist

its just authoritarian or fascist

copper island

storm jungle
#

When you literally dont follow the edicts of your said ideology you cant really be called as such

#

now thanks to them the moment you say you are a socialist people think you are a mass murderer russian lol

#

Its like me calling myself democratic while advocating for genocide, this isnt how it works.

native spade
#

Do you think it is feasably possible to achieve pure communism without resorting go Fascistic methods?

heady rivet

Nah, as long as some illiterate idiots finally get the point that it is a dead ideology, that has never worked or will work. It will sadly exist

copper island

a whole lot of whistles

native spade

"it's human nature" and then the example is people shaped by a capitalist structure.

#

The plot is good

#

The execution is the problem

The book is about The Lion of all people seeing what his actions and self has caused and how he lost his home world to things he did or didn’t do and then exerting himself to reconcile with his sons and change.

I am allowed to critique a writer on his writing style, pacing and execution of the topic

storm jungle
#

Abnett is absolutely an overrated author imo but hes still the goat

#

his godfather status is kinda what annoys me as people just entirely ignore his actual faults as an author even tho hes legit legendary

native spade
#

He is an amazing narrative designer

#

But he is mid, at best when it comes to novel writing

#

Gav Thrope gets a lot of shit (From me included), but he is in the same boat, just more extreme

#

He is a good lore-writer, but a shit book writer

The Eldar books really sell this

But the problem with the Taurox kit is that you cant run 33% of the kit if you run it with Guard

Nothing stops GS Cults from stealing Kasrkin, and their ability to self Order is retained because it is deemed a unit ability, not keyword ability.

they just wanted to find a way to keep adding KT's without overbloating the roster tbh

But why stop at selling 1 kit, when you can squat their models from getting supported and then forcing them to buy new Killteams

They force you to buy either new kits, or diffrent kits for each season

crystal forum

you still have like 4 years before a killteam even gets declassified

native spade

It is profitable, but they want to squeeze the most out of each player

#

lmao

native spade
#

It is unprofitable in the sense that if one player can play with 1 box, and 1 box alone. They would not have any incentive to buy new or diffrent boxes

#

They have to force your hand somehow
