Out of nowhere, I am sad because IMO Trench Crusade's Iron Sultanate is probably much better a take on historical culture than the vast majority of Games Workshop. Especially how overly safe to the point of bland Cathay is.

I utterly despise the “purple is da sneakiest color!” meme. I despise it so much that I intentionally break up the purple of my orks with yellow in hopes that no one brings up the meme. that is all to say, I hope one of your models falls of your table and breaks in a really inconvenient spot that’s hard to glue back on.

orks frequently refer to each other as he in every other book, and this was never brought up again (even by mike brooks of all people), and the idea that orks who frequently borrow concepts and words from other species (primarily humans) wouldn’t also be capable to call each other by humie pronouns like “he” is retarded.

Because it's literal meme lore, it's a meme that people mistake for lore, there is no basis for it, it fucking originated as a one off joke on this very fucking forum and fucking ran amok within secondary lore circles until they forgot where it came from and started taking it as originating from some official source.
Just like the "We'z a tank!" story.

its a bit autistic, but purple is a royal color and I feel its more suited to bad moons/freebooterz for that reason. I like the idea of orks looting a big palace and finding everyone dressed in purple and thinking that purple most have some correlation with being rich and the big boss, and the thought that my royal ork KINGS who are loud and proud are told they’re being sneaky because of a paint job is irritating. its also really forced which makes it suck more.

It is a constantly overused joke tied to homosexuality that is eventually tied to political shit.
Then when you get tired of it because it is an overused joke you get accused of homophobia and things escalate from there. It is a tired pattern.
>>97935679
Some crazy woman with art talent (why do so many artists turn out to be mentally unstable I know not all of them but still) kept drawing lewd gory Skitarii twink art and it became popular among secondaries.
Then it got tiresome running into the stuff because not everybody wants to see the stuff constantly or it ran it's course and stopped being endearing for some and those who point that out get accused of homophobia.
Makes me wonder what the secret sauce is to start an annoying meme among the 40k secondaries because that artist had all of it.

A Tau analog to Thrawn would be Human. He's an alien among a homogenous culture who ascended to the highest ranks of military prestige on sheer tactical and observational skill by understanding his enemies, who helps rally a fractured Empire back to war footing. Then he gets killed by his kroot bodyguard.

Years of browsing the 'gram and making friends and awkwardly arguing with strangers alike on it. Turns out the communities have plenty of people who are willing to be friendly and some who are willing to give you STLs or even send you stuff in person as long as you are a reasonably decent human in their eyes. Of course, there are plenty of communities run by fuckwits who got a bit of power as a mod and are absolute retards and cunts, but those are ignorable.

Wolves were cool for a short while, but ended up both flanderized by GW and made irredeemably uncool by the insane fans that "rep" them. Autists forming Para-social relationships with fictional superhuman armies and their Marvel Cinematic Universe-Tier. badly written father figures was a disaster for Warhammer 40,000. Allah forgive me, even Vtumors are superior to Primarch obsessed "fans".

its easy to be a xenophile when your female aliens are just humans painted a different color or have some special decoration on their face and head.
Starship Troopers and Helldivers has 8 foot tall alien bugs that aren’t remotely human, and in Warhammer 40K they’re all horrifically ugly and want to murder you, and the only “hot” ones believe you’re a disgusting slobbering animal no matter how hygienic, articulate, and intelligent you may be.

Not so, Eldar view Imperials as barbaric creatures because of their dogmas, particular hygiene issues, and violent xenophobia. They were fine with Humans before the Great Crusade.

How "normal" (by Imperial standards) could an Admech act without being seen as taboo? A lot of big name characters in 40k humanize the crazy meme level personalities associated with the different aspects of the Imperium, like Caiphas Cain.
Are there any admech books that make the tech priests feel relatable? I get that some lobotomies themselves for the job, but there's got to be some tech priests who go & grab a pint of motor oil after a long day right? Maybe oggle the biologis girl with the big tit's? Relax & bet on the outcome of a underground BattleServo-skull match?

Why indeed is the question I ask myself! For it seems the extremely obvious and utterly incontestable nature of the setting's satirical underpinning seems lost on the setting's very creators, who in their detailing of early intent and influences fail to bring up satire at all. All I've encountered thus far is Rick mentioning the "ironic" elements he envisaged imperial bureaucracy demonstrating in it's inflexibility and mismanagement, and imperial faith as a superstition, both of which seem to betray his own cynicism toward corrupt management and faith generally. The search continues

Hey everyone it's once again time for the collage anchor posts. This month's theme was crucible character and/or "space wolves getting absolutely destroyed".
I'll try to post every thread but I'll also check the archive as usual. If you want to make it easier to find in the archive include "april collage submission" in the post.
Here is the vote for next month's theme:

So I am reading the new Eye of Terror campaign book. It added some nice lore for the Black Legion.
Aspiring members of the Black Legion have to run a gauntlet of daemon worlds, where they have to resist the whispers of the daemons and their gods. They have to defeat the daemonic champions of the Chaos Gods and present their trophies in tribute to Abaddon to prove that they scorn Chaos and are utterly loyal to the Warmaster.
During the last stand of the Black Legion against the Iron Warriors, not a single Black Legionnaire surrendered. They died with oaths to the Warmaster on their lips.
I really don't get why people still say that the Black Legion serves Chaos.

The Black Legion is loyal to Abbadon over chaos in the same way the Imperials are only doing whats necessary to survive in a hostile galaxy.
Both are cope to justify going way too far into the ultraviolence rabbit hole and having scrambled brains.
The whole point of 40k as a setting is for everyone to be insane and evil so we can have cool battles. Sometimes its funny, sometimes its serious, but its much better if you just engage with it at face value. The writers make it clear chaos corrupts absolutely, so Abbadon is corrupted and coping. Its as shrimple as that.

The Emperor is a master-level warp manipulator, and in 42k a proper warp god. Abaddon is an empowered mortal commander navigating forces above him, there are levels to this shit. Emps has always been more of an equal player to the chaos gods wheras Abbadon is an unknowing pawn to some degree.

Not according to GW's essay about Abaddon that ADB posted on his blog. It was written by Gav Thorpe and still remains the inspiration for writing Abaddon:
>"Abaddon has, through sheer force of will and dominance, made himself more than a pawn, he has made himself kingmaker. If he were to choose one god to serve, if he dedicated the Black Legion to a single power in his name, that God would crush his rivals almost to the point of victory."
>Abaddon is utterly relentless in his pursuit of what he wants – whatever that may actually be. Revenge on the Emperor? Too petty. Vengeance for Horus? Too sentimental. Power? Yes. What kind of power? Mortal power. He could have all the immortal power he can handle if he but asks for it, but that is not what drives him. He sees the Primarchs disappear, fade, die or simply not care anymore and he understands that only a man can really rule other men. Abaddon doesn’t want to destroy the Imperium, he wants to succeed where Horus failed. He wants to be Emperor and have Mankind bow beneath his rule. His rule, not the rule of the Chaos gods. "
>"Ultimately, a win for Abaddon is a loss for Chaos. If he becomes Emperor he has everything he desires and they can hold nothing over him. And so they continue to dangle the carrot, continue to be his patrons, giving him daemonic power and servants, ordering their mortal representatives to debase themselves and serve his will, all in the hope of snatching the final victory of Abaddon for themselves.

It doens't make sense. In real life, different skin colors is usually due to genetic differences. Those same differences causing a difference in skin color could cascade to cause differences in strength or intelligence, and that would naturally cause one of the skin colors to wipe out the others because they would indeed fight to the death.

I ask you what he's done and you come up with nothing
I tell you to face the fact that chaos is running rampant and more free than ever despite his delusions of control and you instead post fanfictions and hypothetical endgoals that abaddon has done nothing to move towards to and is remarkably in a position where he can't reach that endgoal, it makes things even more impossible to reach that endgoal, while only ever making things better for chaos

You ignore the events that make it appear that chaos are more powerful. Aeldari left a power vacuum and humans breed very fast. The only correct answer is that Chaos became broader, not stronger because slaneesh joined. Slaneesh is a counterbalance to Khorne and actively undermines khornate activities, despite their ideological overlaps.

scientifically incorrect, this was solved in the 30s even by most physical anthropologists who subscribed to eugenicist ideals. differences within "race" have always been greater than differences between race and no race is "genetically pure" as all races are semi-recent admixtures with heavy interbreeding. Actual real science disproved human subspecies a century ago, because believe you me people did try REALLY HARD to prove human subspecies were at thing.

Unpopular opinion, I like Abaddon being a tool of the gods. If I wanted noble heroes fighting against a corrupt regime I wouldn't play the faction that has "lost and the damned" and "slaves to darkness" as its most iconic titles. Abaddon is the strongest Chaos Space Marine, he's one of the most powerful forces of the setting and even in his power and glory he is as corrupted as the lowliest chaos spawn, his mind simply refuse to accept that. That's what the leader of the CHAOS faction should be. Doing otherwise is like having an Eldar be the Tau leader.

So what he did is step 1 out of 3 of actually doing something
That's just going to be Cadia again, isn't it? Where he spent thirteen crusades and 10.000 years of work to have the Blood Path reach terra so he could destroy the emperor and what he obtained was to give half the galaxy to the chaos gods with Terra being as impregnable as before.

I really don't, it's not like in the actual lore he acted against the interests of the Gods. He has been consistently behaving like a great puppet that claims to be independent despite every one of his actions being actually in favour of his masters.

I remember an interaction on Twitter where ADB was asking for name suggestions for his siege novel (Echoes of Eternity), someone said "Warmaster of Chaos," assuming he was writing the last book, to which ADB responded "Horus was never the warmaster of chaos, that is abaddons role"
Mind you in Slaves to Darkness, we are shown Horus has the complete support of all chaos, even beyond the big four.
Stuff like this is why I think reddit loves him so much; they assume that they could be a forum poster turned BL author just like him. They would just "get" the lore and not have to pass lore quizzes just like him.

You don't act on a promise.
The Chaos Gods stood 100% behind Horus, gave him all the support and power he needed because his soul was already theirs. His victory would have been theirs.
Abaddon is marching to his own tune. If he wins, as all the lore I posted above says, the Chaos Gods are fucked.
By not surrendering himself to them, by threatening them with becoming the new Emperor, He is fucking them over

Slaanesh being the God of excess in opposition to the other Gods naturally curbs any of them from having excessive advocates or aspirants. If you're too obsessive about war, Khorne loses you to Slaanesh. If you take pride in a plot or scheme going well, Tzeentch loses you to Slaanesh. If you find pleasure in degradation and filth, Nurgle loses you to Slaanesh. So all the Gods now have to curb their excesses.
>>
>>
>>
>>97938531
You may be right, but Huron strictly belives in space marine supremacy and he believed his right to rule over Badab was because of his superior transhuman status as a space marine whereas the Lord on Terra were seen as inferior to himself. I guess both are like that.
>>

>>97938537
>naturally curbs any of them from having excessive advocates or aspirants
no, it doesn't, if it did khorne's, nurgle's and tzeentch's most powerful champions would be from before slaanesh came to be, but they aren't.
The gods, all of them, are at their strongest now, and the rise of a 5th god is not going to make any weaker, aos is proof of that, the rise of the horned rat hasn't made chaos weaker.

What? It has made the Chaos Gods weaker.
Archaon helped the Great Horned Rat become the 5th Chaos God because it was like a rat powered nuke going off in the Realm of Chaos. The Chaos Gods reeled from the cataclyasm and their realms were besieged by Skaven and Rat daemons.
While the Chaos Gods are wounded and distracted, Archaon is going to enact the next phase of his plan to kill Sigmar and enslave all the Chaos Gods.
>>
>>97938572
What? He gutted Charadon. He took the Nachmuch Gauntlet. He defeated the Unforgiven. etc.
The 13th Black Crusade continues to grind its way to Terra.
The deal with Vashtorr is about getting a shortcut since the galaxy is being destroyed too fast, so he might not reach Terra in time.

No, it hasn't, there are no real consequences from that, just like there aren't real consequences from the rise of slaanesh, the forces of order don't suddenly have an opportunity to strike at chaos, this is not what happened, what happened is that the rats got stronger, and with it that chaos as a whole got stronger.

The moment he kills the Emperor the whole solar system becomes a new Eye of Terror so it's not like he will even have the chance.

Actually, Abaddon is worshipped by billions. The afterword of "Fall of Cadia" says that Abaddon is a nexus of Warp power and fate, changing reality around him.

Yes, and nothing about archaon doing anything against the gods, or the gods being weakened in any way whatsoever, only about archaon freeing slaanesh and chaos as a whole being stronger than before thanks to the rats, so much so to be able to strike azyr.

Without Nachmund, half of the Imperium's strength loses the single stable pathway to the south.
Charadon is a crucial breadbasket and military industrial powerhouse that feeds the southern segmentums. Its loss weakens the Imperial war effort across the south, including the defenses of Terra.
Abnaddon is benefiting. He nerfed the Imperium by half. But he needs to extend the time on the timer or find a shortcut.

honestly such a weird decision to make. if it was upfront, then theoretically the battleforce box look like an even better deal because it has 6 kits in it instead of 5, but if they knew that costumers would baulk at seeing a 5 man squad sold, then why’d they disguise it only after the battleforce was released?

As of 11th edition the 'daemons' codex in 40k is being replaced with Age of Sigmar split armies, a unified Daemons list exists in Chaos Space Marines but Daemons are no longer their own thing.
So your guys would either be paired with World Eaters in their Blood Legions detachment or in the Chaos Space Marines codex in their daemons detachment.

Allegedly the game is sticking around, the core rules and the models, but the setting is basically being relaunched. If rumors are to be believed it's not as drastic of a shakeup as the End Times, which punctuated an entire game, system and setting, but it's rather more severe than something like Gathering Storm.
One of the fun things about AoS is that it will take these big swings every so often. There are fewer sacred cows than in 40k and WHFB, so bold plays like this might feel like less of a reach. This is also one of the most frustrating things about AoS because even if there are parts you like you know they're not off limits for getting changed, shuffled around, or straight up deleted.

Its actually so retarded. It just became an unironic meme mind virus about 1.5 years ago that demons were being squatted, despite them getting more detachments than most armies with codexes and tons of support. Then these sheep literally go "oh its just a rumor" like that means anything.
The only faction actually at risk of being squatted is Deathwatch, and they walked back the squatenning because of how immediately unpopular it was.

Depends on your definition of straight being them having a close bond with women (Salamanders keep in touch with their families, therefore they're straight on behalf they are normal, and one of the Crimson Fists, forgot if its a captain or a chapter master, had a woman that was very close to him) or are straight in the sense any animal is straight by the sole purpose of breeding, which is where you get the Iron Warriors and their freakass Daemonculaba.

which is not squatted. that means they will continue to receive new rules and models for as long as AoS lives, because it doubles demand for those models for basically nothing on GWs part. Meaning if you are a 40k demons player, yes, demons are still an accessible army that counts for both.
in no way are they squatted, and they will continue to get support.

No but the problem with 40k xenos is that they are not appealing in any possible way and if the background on the many xeno species that got destroyed by the Great Crusade's anything to go by, they're also backstabbers on top of being fugly.
And then there's the Eldar who created slaanesh and thus deserve to have their children be dipped in prometheum before making them play a game of real life touhou by dodging tiny sparks that will ignite them.
That being said, genestealer cults is what pops out of being a xenophile, not slaanesh

I really liked how Hive Fleets worked in the 9th edition Tyranid codex.
It was basically like this
>Choose a major Hive Fleet
>That Hive Fleet had two unique traits. One fixed and one adaptive.
>There were also three tables of traits, based on three different philosophies. Hunt Feed and Lurk.
>Each Fleet had access to two of these three tables, and you could swap the adaptable trait with one trait from the tables you had access to.
So for example Kraken had two abilities, +1 ap on charging and better advances, and better advances was the adaptive trait, so you could play pure Kraken or an adapted Kraken that switched out better advances with one trait from the Feed or Hunt tables.
This was for splinter fleets. Alternatively you could make a completely custom minor hive fleet by taking a trait from each of two tables and designing one of them as the adaptive trait, which you could swap on necessity with one from the third table.
It was very cool. It was also ridiculously strong unfortunately. But very cool.

The 9th edition Tyranid codex was unironically one of their best. It lacked the extreme unit customisation that the 3rd and 4th edition codexes had, but it hard incredible army rules all around. How synapse worked by daisy chaining the synapse units to spread buffs and relay psychic powers was fantastic.

Why would someone who doesn't even play the game spend hours shitposting about a rules change they don't even understand the context or implications of?

Well at least you actually own the models for the army you're getting upset in defense of unlike 90% of the shitposters here

the cover isn't the complete list of the stuff that appears in the codex
by the same argument you would be defending the disappearance of vehicles from space marines because they don't appear on the cover
to not include the demons of khorne in the khorne army is ridiculous

have you considered world eaters are the world eatears army, like it says on the tin.
and demons of chaos are the demons of chaos army. Have you considered that instead of hallucinating your alternative reality?

world eaters are the khorne army, demons of khorne belong to the khorne army
there is no other khorne army, demons of khorne don't belong anywhere else
"demons of chaos" was never a real army, let alone now the codex is on its way out
demons of khorne should go in the khorne army, just like they used to go years ago

>actually, GW has never released a "khorne army" book for 40k.
wrong, khorne daemonkin, which contained surprise surprise khorne berserkers and khorne demons with no limits because the two always go together.
>Maybe one of those two separate factions they made would appeal to you.
demons of chaos aren't a faction and world eaters are missing their khornate demons.

You're crying and projecting but not posting an argument.
