Text to Speech is legit the best drat thing. I'm honestly surprised GW hasn't gotten it kicked off YouTube the way it did those Space Hulk cartoons that are now merely on Newgrounds. (Also one of the only things Flashgitz did that wasn't poo poo. But Iron Maiden makes everything better really so...) The history of the 40k universe done as Japanese styled stick puppets? Yes thank you. Also I now have that Flames of War Open Fire starter box on its way to my house because #tinypewtermen goons helpfully told me it's a way to have many tanks for Tanks! Why play GW when better and cheaper stuff is available? And I can paint German soldiers like Wolfenstein 3d guys.

Leperflesh posted:Actually yes go ahead and do exactly that. The thing is that it doesn't exactly take a ton of effort to look at what GW's done with the Sisters lately and come away with the hot take "this loving sucks." I'll even go so far to say that it's actively gone downhill since they were first introduced even if it's never exactly been great because at least at one point GW wasn't paying someone real money to write stories about Sisters being murdered so space marines could wear them like a decorative accessory.

lenoon posted:No they really aren't - they're the purer than pure heroes of the setting. They're gods among men, they're this and that and the other and all of it insanely positive. They're not uncontrollably angry (except when they are and it's seen as a good thing). The cryptofascist wh40k is a bad place filled with bad people elements have gone. Whatever the body proportions they lack any element of loss of control, mostly lack any darker or negative characteristics at all that might make them more hulky. That whooshing sound was the point going over your head that Space Marines are male fantasies (aka the Hulk) and not female fantasies (Chris Hemsworth's Thor). Also there needs to be a Cho Aniki sequel where you get to fight the Pillar Men. LordAba fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Oct 18, 2016 |

But Thor is also a male fantasy, Valhalla and Ragnarok and much Norse inspired legend is pretty much the malest of male fantasies. It's all hypermasculine and even the inevitable predicted death of the gods is incredibly badass.
