An expanded campaign mode and more fun factions was all I really wanted from Battlefleet Gothic Armada so I'm definitely excited for this

Philthy posted:Just finished the Devastation of Baal. It was alright, the more frenzied Blood Angels kinda ruined the immersion a little, but overall it was lots of action and most importantly, it took place in the more current timeline. Pretty much all Recent books take place during the current timeline.

Hot Dog Day #82 posted:I’ve never felt so bad at video games as I did while playing Gothic War. The game was excellent and they did a great job catching the spirit of Warhammer, but man, I was by far the worst admiral the Imperium had the misfortune of promoting. With all due respect, I find this very difficult to believe.

I think it'll be Dark Crusade style, but no information clarifying this has been released. Also: the LP was on hard too  The Iron Rose posted:An expanded campaign mode and more fun factions was all I really wanted from Battlefleet Gothic Armada so I'm definitely excited for this Well, Necrons are in, so you better have a creative idea on what constitutes 'fun', or the devs have to severely nerf them.

Necrons are great, but hardly unbeatable in standard BFG. The main issue is that you have to completely change how you fight them.

Yeah I haven't watched all of the Helsreach videos yet but I kinda preferred the sketch-style filter, at least for the short story format.

I am pretty sure he is playing around with different styles, not that he has decided firmly to change the way he does the videos. One of the recent ones had a lot of color, this one was mostly without filters, but there were some really fuzzy backgrounds with the two named soldiers at the start. He may have wanted more visual clarity for an episode dealing mostly with decoding Oberon.

If the Helsreach combat scenes were animated like the death of hope fanfilm it would be the best 40k video ever. Even so the non combat cinematography is exceptional.

Just finished Praetorian of Dorn and I wanna check: did that book feel like a hell of a slog to get through for anyone else? I love both the Alpha Legion and Imperial Fists but hooboy reading that thing felt like a chore.

There was an entire segment where this character, who I still have no idea what they did, was infiltrating this cave hangar thing for some purpose midway through the book, then it turns out they had been buried for like 100 years. It just seemed so loving ridiculous and out of place that I zoned out, next thing I know, Dorn has teleported into a teleport-proof sphere and is fighting a battle ala BlastCorp against Alpharius.

I decided to peace out of Heresy books for a while after that and dived directly into Emperor's Legion. This may have been a mistake as a good chunk of the first half of the book so far has revolved around attempts to get a council vote on something that isn't really explained much until just before it happens. Thankfully some Big poo poo has just started to go down at just about the halfway point. I feel like this book is a roller coaster which spends half of its length slowly climbing the lift hill before immediately launching to full speed.

On an unrelated note, I finished Descent of Angels the other day and it turned out to be as aggressively mediocre as most everyone had said! In need of something else to read while on the loo, I'm tackling Battle for the Abyss next. (Don't worry, I bought that one Humble Bundle last year and ended up with all of these books whether I wanted them or not.  )

When you start Battle for the Abyss you will wish for aggressive mediocrity.

So, I’m a little behind the times and am just getting around to finishing Black Legion. I’m now looking ahead to my next book and am wondering... have any of you tried Shroud of Night yet? I feel like a few goons read it and said it wasn’t awful. It is a toss up between that and Dark Imperium for me. I’ve only ever read books by Abnett, ABD or Chris Wright and, now that that well has run dry, I am a bit worried that I’m about to enter the not-so-good side of black library writing :/

Is the idea of Genestealers infiltrating society long before the main Tyranid horde arrives still a thing in canon? Was reading some old school stuff and reflecting its much more interesting than the unstoppable bug swarm version of Tyranid invasions.

Not only is it still a thing, but Genestealer Cults are now a full army in 40k, Shadow War Armageddon, and have also been indicated for Necromunda.
