#

lmao

dim totem
#

but yeah in the reboot id want to see a reinvented araby for example

#

done tastefully

odd sparrow
#

GW so original

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

A thereotical one

#

I assume

dim totem
#

wasnt there osmething on the horizon? or am i just going to be disappointed

glad prism
#

Time to make my own version of the Sassanids in AoS I suppose

odd sparrow
#

lemme just mix the iberian wars with the crusades cus we dont really have a levant for them to fight in

vapid tiger
#

I mean they're bringing back old world yes

odd sparrow
#

And ye CA has confirmed no araby

#

am not expecting old world to tackle it either

atomic pelican
#

Old World isnt rlly a reboot in the sense u are thinking probs

dim totem
#

ah hm

vapid tiger
#

But it's going to take place way before the original time period portrayed by tww

dim totem
#

maybe old world will be a bit more focused then

odd sparrow
#

old world will probably tackle cathay, i expect that CA and GW are working p closely together on it

barren tapir
#

Old world is gonna be a test, if it is successful then they will expand

vapid tiger
#

End Times will still be canon basically

atomic pelican
#

Old World seems to be focused around the area around the empire and bretonnia

peak hamlet
#

Yeah a reboot of warhammer fantasy is planned, called: the old world (or something)

vapid tiger
#

it's not a reboot

dim totem
#

ok ill refer to it as old world then, excuse the confusion

atomic pelican
#

Its gonna be a 30k game to ream old heads lmao

peak hamlet
odd sparrow
#

Yeah it's like, a side game set in WHFB™️

vapid tiger
#

it's just them bringing back that universe and setting it during the time of the Great War Against Chaos

#

Like HH

#

It's like horus heresy

dim totem
#

im just eager to see some more medieval human models i can reappropriate for a 40k kitbash

#

and maybe even build some proper medieval ones for rpg campaigns

atomic pelican
#

If u want empire models those still exist

dim totem
#

i knoooow

#

but those dont get updated do they

peak hamlet
#

I just hope they wont make some generic fantasy shit

atomic pelican
#

There are non-GW wargames

#

That make those

vapid tiger
#

i still find it annoying that people are still going "aos is getting squatted because old world is coming back"

primal tide
#

Green army men

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

Delusion

dim totem
#

yus but i like the gw vibe

vapid tiger
#

Expect updated versions of what they had before

#

Probably in resin

peak hamlet
atomic pelican
#

Kislev's updates are a good guide

vapid tiger
dim totem
#

do they tho

peak hamlet
vapid tiger
#

Especially back when the announcement was made

dim totem
#

aos isn't going anywhere

barren tapir
#

We had one

atomic pelican
#

WHF oldheads like ugly models so I imagine no one will like Old World

primal tide
#

Lmfao

atomic pelican
#

Kislev's ice guard and such

dim totem
#

i like the squat built old models lul but i can adapt to new things

atomic pelican
#

Are too pretty

peak hamlet
#

Aos is kinda generic fantasy, the empite was heavily based off 16th century hre

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

Whf is just tolkien+

#

Lmao

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

Calling aos generic compared to WHF which is literally a direct rip for most of its stuff

primal tide
vapid tiger
#

It's just gonna be whfb set in an earlier time period

#

with a lower model count probably

odd sparrow
#

there are so many ppl like that

vapid tiger
#

cough

arch

cough

primal tide
#

A lot of them are larping that position tho, having gotten into it after end times

odd sparrow
#

arch isn't a human

#

he's some kind of lizard convinced that this is how humans act

atomic pelican
#

Because most ppl whining never will, or have, actually touched tabletop of any kind. Whf or otherwise

barren tapir
#

It is an architectural thing

peak hamlet
# vapid tiger Wat

I never saw a fantasy genre with reasonable gunpowder weapons and a 16th century aestetic yet but go ahead, prove me wrong

vapid tiger
#

what

#

what are you arguing

dim totem
#

i think hobo isnt trying to put down aos, hobo just really really likes that 16th century stuff, correct?

primal tide
#

He's arguing that wfb can't be generic cuz if that

peak hamlet
#

U said warhammer is generic fantasy(?)

atomic pelican
#

Hobo has a very particular obsession and will freak it over Muh 16th century

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

And no thst was me

dim totem
#

and i mean it's fair, no reason to hate on hobo

atomic pelican
#

Because it is.

dim totem
#

you like what you like

peak hamlet
vapid tiger
#

I said "it'll be warhammer fantasy so just expect updated versions of what they had"

atomic pelican
#

For the most part, ripped from other sources

vapid tiger
#

scroll down

peak hamlet
vapid tiger
#

I mean I guess they'll have empire handgunners

peak hamlet
vapid tiger
#

They might not because it takes place like 200-300 years before contemporary whfb did

atomic pelican
#

Maybe. Might just be crossbows?

vapid tiger
#

they'll definitely have cannons and shit tho

dim totem
#

i didn't think of that

#

i was half expecting the whf we had with some lines redrawn and some updated models

glad prism
#

So, Hobo, just hope if they do any actual refreshes, they take that into account.

vapid tiger
#

Like they won't have empire wizards since those don't exist until after the Great War against Chaos and this looks like it'll have a narrative leading up to the Great War against Chaos

dim totem
#

really?

#

hm

vapid tiger
#

Yep

peak hamlet
dim totem
#

i don't know what to make of that

vapid tiger
#

Empire wizards didn't become a thing until Magnus the Pious saw Teclis and went "hm, magic seems neat actually. We should have a magic school, please teach our local hedge wizards we persecute to do proper magic teclis"

atomic pelican
#

Magnus is the one who 'legalized' magic with wizards

#

And yee

crisp heath
#

I did hear a rumor that they are gonna do a refresh on the old empire models this year

atomic pelican
#

Cities of sigmar updatw

#

Dawnbringer crusades

#

Theyre gonna be more CoS aligned

dim totem
#

cities of sigmar update? that could mean a lot of things though, no?

atomic pelican
#

They will probs do away with the old empire iconography

dim totem
#

not necessarily a focus on the shooty shooty humans?

#

hmmmm

atomic pelican
#

Freeguilds are a pretty big part of CoS so

vapid tiger
#

I imagine Dawnbringer Crusades will be what takes CoS from a repository of surviving whfb models to something more specific to aos

dim totem
#

don't like that idea very much but i see how that could happen

atomic pelican
#

Its likely himans will see a update

#

And yess

crisp heath
#

The rumor I heard was it was gonna be freeguilds focused

atomic pelican
#

Im very hyped for Dawnbringer crusades

dim totem
#

i mean im kinda hoping they keep the empire aesthetics

atomic pelican
#

I rlly like CoS but they need AoS new models

dim totem
#

(and please add some brettonnia related stuff)

vapid tiger
atomic pelican
#

I hope we get new artillery pieces

vapid tiger
#

Ever heard of Greywater Fastness?

peak hamlet
#

Man cos updates would be neat

atomic pelican
#

Plastic cannons and rocket batteries pls

dim totem
glad prism
#

I hope for AoS to get their full roster out first

dim totem
#

i got some uh

vapid tiger
#

Cities of Sigmar are

atomic pelican
#

Im actually unsure, but they are very old

vapid tiger
#

VERY industrial

glad prism
#

And then work their way back through CoS

dim totem
#

cities of sigmar melee humans dudes with swords and those are plastic

#

for kitbashing

vapid tiger
#

So I imagine any human model updates will have them still have gunpowder weapons and whatnot

peak hamlet
#

And even if its just remakes of the old empire minis used, they play a really huge part but the minis are old and a little ugly by now

vapid tiger
#

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if we saw handgunners with like

#

Breech-loaded rifles or something

peak hamlet
dim totem
#

oh ok good

atomic pelican
#

It would also be neat to see some helf and dwarf models updated for CoS

dim totem
#

so is the concencus the cos update will pull humies away from the empire esthetic?

#

concensus

#

i don't know how you spell that word

atomic pelican
#

Or druchii for Anvilgard rebels

#

We dont know

#

No one rlly knows

crisp heath
#

I heard that they also will roll all the dwarves into one book

atomic pelican
#

We just think theyll get updates

barren tapir
#

Magnus the pious was an huge user of gunpowder weapons, so they will have them in the old world, the fact that there will be no empire magic is good imo

peak hamlet
glad prism
#

Deepkin are at present what I like best with the new stuff

atomic pelican
#

I dont think theyll roll dwarves together, but Fyreslayers need something to happen

#

Theyre kind of lacking in model diversity

#

Theres only so far you can go on Slayers

dim totem
#

i have to say

#

i really like the aos dwarfs

#

you could use them as substitutes in a sci fi setting

#

if only they had some more cables here and there

atomic pelican
#

KO are p great steampunk

#

I like the haulers especially

dim totem
#

i wouldnt mind if james just said

#

these are squats now

glad prism
atomic pelican
#

The rumor right now is that

#

According to leaks, chaos dwarfs will be one of ths faction releases this edition. Getting rid of their FW crap rules

#

And theyll be rlly big to the plot

glad prism
#

Ah, so nothing has changed so far as the last thing I remember hearing of Chaos Dwarfs

peak hamlet
atomic pelican
#

The leak explained why but I wont spoil unless wanted

crisp heath
dim totem
#

i could buy this is a squat if they scifi'd it a bit more

atomic pelican
#

The faction releases for 3e are supposedly, Dawnbringer Crusades(confirmed), Umbraneth, and Chaos dwarfs

peak hamlet
#

Chaos dwarfs look great! I love the dude on the giantic fure bull thingy

crisp heath
atomic pelican
#

Ye there was a leak post awhile ago

#

It also leaked some plot stuff

barren tapir
#

Ah, yes, i remember the chaos dwarf leak

#

Quite funny

peak hamlet
dim totem
#

oh man

#

those are cool

peak hamlet
#

Fw chaos dwars are just perfection

glad prism
prisma lark
#

the only chaos dwarf leak I heard, was when the new swampy bois were shown, and they had armour plated given by their "masters" I think

dim totem
#

but i kinda miss the uh

#

the weird beards they had in old art?

primal tide
atomic pelican
#

They also took down chwarfs FW stuff so it matches up

dim totem
glad prism
#

Chaos Dwarves at times made me think of old Mesopotamia with the choice of beards and fancy hats, even if only vaguely

atomic pelican
#

Unless hes working on more

primal tide
#

It was explicitly said to be for the dwarves tho iirc

atomic pelican
#

Ahh

primal tide
#

Maybe a retcon, idk

errant mauve
#

Chaos Dwarves are based and Akkadianpilled

dim totem
#

i love those beards

crisp heath
#

I mean he helped make stormcast so they kinda his kids too

atomic pelican
#

He also saved Morathi which is kind of hilarious

Chaos Dwarves are best dwarves

dim totem
#

what do you mean skele?

glad prism
atomic pelican
#

But yes im very hype for Chaos dwarfs actual release

errant mauve
#

Same

atomic pelican
#

Their FW rules were quite possibly the worst rules in AoS

#

Even worse than ghe legacy rules for WHF factions

crisp heath
#

I like Ogors but they won't get any new models for the near future 😔

errant mauve
#

I can finally find an excuse to buy recasts of the Death Trains

atomic pelican
crisp heath
#

They got that tyrant model that was baller

glad prism
#

I do love me some Dreadquake Mortars

atomic pelican
#

But yeah in srsness I'd love new Leadbelchers

crisp heath
#

But true

glad prism
#

Leadbelchers or Ironguts would be 👌

crisp heath
#

I would like rhinox riders back

#

Also might be nice to have a mournfang HQ

prisma lark
#

I'd love more Ironjaws

#

Cool russ gonna come back 🙄

errant mauve
#

Russ was never cool

#

😎

barren tapir
#

His planet was

Fenris was rather low in temperature indeed lul

crisp heath
#

Wolftime happens and Khan shows up instead

atomic pelican
#

Wait Russ is coming back? Aaaa

errant mauve
#

Hawktime

atomic pelican
#

I tire of primarchs

#

Unless theyre traitors

errant mauve
#

If Russ comes back I hope it's as something horribly mutated by the warp or as a wulfen.

atomic pelican
#

He comes back as a regular puppy

errant mauve
crisp heath
#

The book is called wolftime and Russ is supposed to return when that happens

errant mauve
atomic pelican
#

I would love a emperor's children codex tbh

#

I want Fulgrim

errant mauve
#

I really doubt they'd have Russ reappear without making a big fuss though.

atomic pelican
#

Yee we shall c

errant mauve
#

Tfw Black Templars will get a dedicated model range and codex before EC and WE

crisp heath
#

Wolftime happens and Russ doesnt show up

#

Hmmmm

atomic pelican
#

Goddamn templars

#

First krieg which I am finw with

#

But Templars?

#

Kill

crisp heath
#

It would be the Black Library that called wolf

cerulean wagon
#

honestly

#

they should just

#

kill off all the primarchs for good

#

and custodes while they are at it

errant mauve
#

Tfw Templars getting 9th codex before Chaos Space Marines

crisp heath
#

No, custodes stay

atomic pelican
#

Custodes more like CustoWNED

cerulean wagon
#

custodes are just

#

betterererr marines

crisp heath
#

The best

errant mauve
#

Custodes are loyalist SM with somehow even less flavour

cerulean wagon
#

the original primaris

crisp heath
#

Custodes aren't marines by any stretch

errant mauve
#

Yeah they're even more 1 dimensional

cerulean wagon
errant mauve
#

They have some good models but that's about it.

cerulean wagon
#

they are the power fantasy side of SM scalled to 11

#

and thats the most boring part of SM

crisp heath
#

Custodes don't even need a codex to be good

errant mauve
#

That really says something about the intelligence Custodes players rather than the coolness of Custodes.

crisp heath
#

Thats a compliment

errant mauve
#

Custodes fans take having completely overstatted units as a compliment.

Well, I suppose that's something.

final spruce
#

They got it hard in 8, let them have their fun in 9th

atomic pelican
#

I hope Russ comes back, does something stupid, and dies/sent into the warp because of it

cerulean wagon
#

i hope he doesnt

atomic pelican
#

It'd be both in character and hilarious

cerulean wagon
#

last time they introduced a space wolf leader they killed off gaz again

atomic pelican
#

If* he were to come back

#

OOF

It was to give him a new mini tho

atomic pelican
#

Destroyer Primaris Epic Marines to come in 2026

#

They'll have BS +1 and 6 wounds

errant mauve
#

Ultrmaris marines just have primarch statlines with a 2++ and 2+++

atomic pelican
#

This just reminded me that bastilladons have a 1+ save and work in some weird way that I cant remember

errant mauve
#

Ignore AP -1 isn't it?

#

Or was that how Custodes work

atomic pelican
#

Mayb

crisp heath
#

Niether

#

Bastilidons have a +1 save which means they cannot be rended (apthough that might've changed with 3rd ed)

#

Custodes just get +1 to their invulnerable save to a max of +3

errant mauve
#

Or am I confusing something

crisp heath
#

They cannot be rended

atomic pelican
#

Rend is ap

crisp heath
#

At all

errant mauve
#

At all?

#

Wtf

crisp heath
#

1 natural is an auto fail no matter what

#

But otherwise is passes on a +1

#

And you can't modify a roll to go below 1 on a die

atomic pelican
#

So effecfively its a 2+ invuln?

crisp heath
#

Ye

atomic pelican
#

Ah oki

crisp heath
#

Until you bracket it

errant mauve
#

Lizardmen moment

atomic pelican

Its why mortal wounds are nessicary vs bastilidons

And why I think Ogors are king

Ogors with the charge chad

#

Ogors without the charge chad

crisp heath
#

Me playing Ogors

atomic pelican
#

Imagine being a stormcast and you get clubbed by a ogor. Your soul is about to zip away

#

Then he grsbs your fucking soul and eats you

Because apparently ogors can do that

Yet again proving that being hungwy is truly the most potent magic

I find the drum mag in a pistol to be funny though, ngl

But heh, its not the most egregious thing to lose sleep over

iirc, 0.75 is sorta comparable to a shotgun slug, and those used by others are a typically smaller round, but it doesn't really matter

ever seen a makarov with a drum?

That seems to be a recurring pattern, preferring everything over a glock

Yea

I don't like glocks

i think it depends on the glock model

some glocks are fine

others are

yes

i just dont really see the detailed gunplay synergizing well with 40k stuff

cerulean wagon
#

Honestly depends how they are doing it

#

Tempestus, standard guard or inquisitor retinue

#

depending on what regiments n shit they choose for the setup theres some cool flex to weapon customisation

#

or even just playing as a ganger crawling through the underhive

dim totem
#

did you see that little movie they made?

#

the raid

cerulean wagon
#

ye was great

dim totem
#

the thing is i just dont see that gunplay mesh with like

#

bolter pistols

#

maybe its just bias

cerulean wagon
#

having run only war n stuff theres wiggle room to make it tactical. boltguns are deadly af yeah, but so are semi auto 50cal rifles in tarkov

same downside of weight, recoil and expense

dim totem

true but i dont have 50cal rifles lul so maybe thats why i feel that way

i like my little smg's man

# cerulean wagon and make it out

one of my first games i got shot in the chest with a shotgun from across the room, dropped the other guy but obviously havn't got a lot of time, stumbled into the bathroom with the videogame logic of finding med stuff, nope

cerulean wagon
#

Haha

dim totem
#

stumbled out into the parking lot, crossed the street, found some tents i thought i'd pass through on my way out, maybe i'd get lucky and find something

frosty cobalt
#

Imagine thinking you find loot in tarkov lmao

dim totem
#

two more dudes show up, downed one but he other finsihed me off

#

was intense

frosty cobalt
#

My first raid i went in at night on accident

#

Was super sneaking and saw a shadow with a green glow round its face, realized it was nvgs and made him eat my 762

#

the first time i found a body to loot i cowered behind a port a potty for a few minutes first

the spookiest shit

and just

#

a flashlight flicks past you

dim totem
#

oh man

#

i was thinking id get swat 3 for a similar kinda vibe

#

i mean i have it at my parents house on a cd somewhere but i might as well get it from gog

woven dew
#

are yall getting Warhammer plus?

frosty cobalt
#

Considering it, its better than 60 bucks for disney

#

Im more in it for the black library accesss

dim totem
storm jungle
#

I will pirate it i think

#

just in it for the animations so might as well

median sundial
#

Might get it. 5 bucks per month is probably something my dad'll agree on.

Even if he doesn't I'll end up watching Hammer and Bolter anyway.

“As long-time Warhammer fans, we’re very excited to combine our passion for the Warhammer hobby with our experience in CGI. It was a surreal feeling when Games Workshop approached us. It brings a lot of new possibilities, and we can’t wait to deliver this story of Iron Warriors and Drukhari to the community!”

#

Cant wait to see drukhari

#

in animation

storm jungle
#

fingers crossed on the quality

glad prism
#

I have to say

#

Still deeply upset over what happened with the Iron Warriors animation.

woven dew
#

Iron warriors was supposed to be Horus heresy i believe

glad prism
#

It was, until it suddenly wasn't.

#

I was and remain incensed.

woven dew
#

Yeah seeing animation during Horus Hersey would of been really cool

glad prism
#

Now it's just some generic story about Guardsmen facing off the Iron Warriors where it doesn't even follow the perspective of the Iron Warriors anymore or something.

#

Like why even call it Iron Within anymore?

woven dew
#

is iron within the one that's going to feature Drukhari?

crisp heath
#

I actively use azyr so I will probably sub for the AoS app anyways

glad prism
#

I don't remember or think it would, I was too dismayed after finding out about what become of Iron Within to follow up on any news about it.

errant mauve
#

Iron Within

glad prism
#

It was a tale most tragic.

crisp heath
#

Yo Guard beating up Iron Warriors sign me up

woven dew
#

u mean guard getting slaughtered

glad prism
#

This would be its only saving grace, but I doubt it because the Guard are cast as the protagonists here

frosty cobalt
#

Yea im so mad bout that

#

Lets take this interesting story with villains to be grappling with how they are perceived by the imperium and make it standard imperium wank

atomic pelican
#

warhammer animators know only imperium wank

#

flashbacks to space marines surviving direct blast from a lascannon

glad prism
#

Iron Within promised something more, so that's entirely on GW's conscience

storm jungle
glad prism
#

But, here's hoping Exodite delivers on some of its promises between Aeldari and Tau making an appearance

#

Unless that changed too and I completely glossed that over.

primal tide
#

Iron within? More like iron without amirite fellas

glad prism
#

Yeah, u right.

#

😔

storm jungle
#

i dont want to be so negative

#

but would a GW team completely flip a script?

glad prism
#

Look, I have no real room for optimism on the matter, at this point I'm just hoping against hope.

#

They upended a script to make it into more Imperial wank, so it wouldn't surprise me, but the alternative is that they choose to be lazy.

#

But something tells me they can't leave well enough alone.

frosty cobalt
#

The exodite team is hopefully more rigid on their vision, using non modern tau suits prolly means they have a story but we shall see

#

Lets hope we dont get another sodaz treatment

slow prawn
#

What happened to Sodaz?

#

Gobbled up by GW?

glad prism
#

Forget when it happened, but it did

vapid tiger
#

Yup

slow prawn
#

Damn

glad prism
#

A bunch of the comments on his community posts ammounted to something like "sold your soul to GW"

peak hamlet
#

Ppl act crazy

#

"Hire this guy gw!" hires him "nooo why are you hiring him gw?"

primal tide
#

Almost like those are opinions held by different people

#

Very few people have actually said both of those things lol

peak hamlet
#

Well i never heard a "hope gw doesn't hire this guy" before

glad prism
#

I just don't put it past them to move goalposts like that is all

primal tide
#

I certainly thought it tbh

#

"I hope they don't hire them" is just a continuation of "I hope gw don't c&d them"

#

The translation is: GW keep your grubby mitts off this cool thing

storm jungle
# slow prawn Gobbled up by GW?

Basically "hired" but also had every single one of his 40k vids deleted. As chapin said above it was basically a cease and desist as well since even the little stuff like 30 second warhammer test animations were removed

#

which is really weird

#

why not just make him remove the big animation stuff instead?

slow prawn
#

Dang

glad prism
#

The only boon out of it is having more resources to back them, and even then, they each had an active community

#

So, coupled with stuff like what happened with Sodaz, its not a good look

storm jungle
#

Yeah i got nothing against them being hired but like

cerulean wagon
peak hamlet
#

Yeah im not a huge fan of removing some smaller stuff, good thing is at least it will (or at least the quality stuff) be available on warhammer+ (which im probably going to pirate plus the good vids are still on yt anyway (reuploads tho)

It's fine

Yeah a multilas isnt anti armor tbf

The autocannon is

If it was a full fat lascannon as is, I'd have been more upset

But I mean

have you guys seen custodes terminators

They also have a bunch of the most insultingly bad writers on them too.

its because right

custodes they just

I mean it should go deep not wide

cerulean wagon

SM are "one is so strong they can take on a squad of guard"

and custodes are that ramped up

"1 custodes can take on a chapter of SM"

Since autocannon shells dont explode afaik

primal tide

Primaris Custodes when

glad prism

So that would technically be another dude, but still

Moar damage

frosty cobalt

#

Custodes are boring. They are like this kindergarden "this is stronger!" "no this is stronger"

slow prawn
#

Guys come on, the gun that hit him was clearly a so and so model, but the armor of the Primaris marine was a so and so, which is totally over powered and breaking the setting, they’re turning all the Astartes into Primaris just like all guards are becoming Cadians, also @storm jungle the Elves are the worst faction ever

"we are going to execute you because this planet you havent been too yet rebelled"

frosty cobalt

Yea

storm jungle

Yeah but its marines getting bodied

always have been smh

Oh yes thats why i love them

Thank you for adding the addendum

As a tau player i get both

have the tau had any major failiures? like losing an entire sphere of expansion permanently?

No

like the humans and eldar have to deal with

And that was t warp stuff

There are nonwarp ways to fight the warp

so are etherials like blanks then?

See the whole tau v chaos thing came around when i was on break from 40k

I'm just trying to learn how tau work

I thought it was just pheromones and other things

Ethereals are sort of like their own category from what I remember, I think(?)

wut

slow prawn

I’m sorry but this is one of my favorite ever images of the Tau, and the setting. Just for the novelty of a faction that has no idea about the Warp, getting demolished by Mortarion and Typhus together

yes it is

vapid tiger

A million worlds is fine

glad prism

I think its undersells the number of worlds that all the various races and each of them could have populated (post terraforming or whatever anyway)

It's just that their military numbers are all off

But yeah

gaunt vector
glad prism

I don't really mind just the 1,000,000 worlds thing that much

odd sparrow

nah me neither, it's just dumb that the tau are meant to have so few compared to that when they occupy like

#

a fairly substantial slice of space

vapid tiger

Armageddon and Vraks casualty numbers are less than ww2 despite vraks lasting like...14 years and apparently being one of the bloodiest wars in recent history (minus armageddon and cadia and whatnot)

which

fun fact

vapid tiger

1 million human worlds is fine

would not make a lot of sense

odd sparrow
#

ppl trying to map out 40ks galaxy does tend to create the interesting vibe with like, lowkey the imperium seems to control relatively little of the galaxy lol

vapid tiger
#

Especially when you remember that orks are everywhere and outnumber humans at least 10:1

gaunt vector
#

compared to how it is supposed to behave

storm jungle
#

also its important to remember the imperium LOSES and GAINS planets daily

#

its a limbo

odd sparrow
#

when orks and necrons collectively control like 1/5 of it

atomic pelican
#

The Tau have alot more control over their very small area than the imperium does over its massive amount

glad prism
#

It would be very thin, which sounds consistent, and the Imperium is constantly in flux and wanes too

storm jungle
#

Yeah the tau are doing the total war style of conquering, they basicalyl reinforce every world they come across

odd sparrow
#

u can make up whatever explanation u want for the planet number, a million is p reasonable imo. like

frosty cobalt
glad prism
#

I think so too, I take little issue with a million, be it the literal or metaphorical number

atomic pelican
#

That and, volume of space doesn't really matter much if you can build incredibly dense. Esp when you have stuff like kor'vessa orbital cities

gaunt vector
odd sparrow
#

considering only however many will be habitable in the first place, terraforming is a factor or at least was for DAoT humies, x number of planets could've been destroyed by Angy Robots™️ or whatever you want

vapid tiger
odd sparrow
#

u can basically scale it however u want

storm jungle
#

Yeah its left up in the air

also after wars with star killers and stuff id imagine the galaxy is down a few planets

also this too lol

theres at least 90 billion planets left

so long as the scale is consistent

because all the factions are THAT destructive as said above
