MikeCrotch posted:The Chapter Approved stories were always that the Emperor was a big rear end dude but still in the realm of human proportions. Like in the Salamanders one Vulkan and the Emps take part in a regular human feat of strength contest to see if the Emperor can convince Vulkan to come with him (eventually he sucker punches Vulkan with a power fist lol) Yeah, he was supposedly about the same size as Leman Russ as well, because the crazy furry out ate him, out drank him, and was laying a beating on him before Emps resorted to sucker punching him with a power fist as well. That's apparently a thing the Emperor was big on. Sucker punches.

I think the Horus Heresy books usually describe the Primarchs as being as big to regular marines as marines are to regular humans.

I confess Papa Smurf coming back and being all "What the gently caress have you done?" is an idea I quite like. I fully expect them to gently caress it up.

The problem with that Primarch model is that it looks like an attempt at making a Space Marine have realistic proportions and when a Space Marine has realistic proportions they look freaky as gently caress. Didn't the Primarch of the White Scars ride a tank like a horse? That would imply he was pretty loving big. Also, my 10 month old plays with a 5L water bottle as his favorite toy and an Israeli "cosmetics dealer" approached us today to suggest that he pursue a career in "private security". Is my kid a Primarch? Atlas Hugged fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Ashcans posted:^^^ IIRC, the Emperor is supposed to be around from the dawn of civilization, because the threat of the warp emerged when people stopped basically living as nomadic hunter/gatherers and started getting time to think up inventive ways to gently caress stuff/murder people/scheme, so his arrival is basically at the dawn of 'history'. The Primarchs have been huge dudes for at least as long as I can remember - the space marines have always been inferior copies of them. The only exception was alpharius/omegon who were about the same size as the rest of their legion or their whole schtick wouldn't work. E: and wasn;t the Emperor supposed to have been literally jesus, mohammmed, and genghis khan among a whole bunch of other key historical figures?

Does anyone not expect Guilliman, and any other returning loyalist Primarchs, to vigorously suck the ideological dick of the fascist theocracy that the Imperium has become? At the very outside I might see there being some sort of lip service to tension or internal conflict before going 'well, the ends justify the means' but if I'm being honest I don't expect even that.

New Eldar up for pre-order. And by 'new' i mean, "poo poo we've had lying around from 1990 to now!" They have the jetbike kit up on their pre-order page, as well as a Vyper squadron kit. Three of the same, old, out dated Vypers that should have been brought in line ages ago. You have the formations, which we already had some idea of which, again, is just whatever they could slap together and then, you have the Triumvirate box, for 125 Aussie fun-bux. Whee! SERIOUSLY! THE loving CLOWNS GOT A VENOM/VYPER THING BEFORE THE VYPER GOT AN UPDATE! WHERE'S THE loving SENSE IN THAT GW!??!?!??!?/1?1/11

Vyper uses the ring mount like the Wave Serpent, while War Walkers and HWPs use the slot mount. Seems pretty stupid when the weapons are otherwise all the same.Irate Tree posted:Also, plastic Aspects when? lol never. Aspects are gonna get squatted, just you watch.

The cries of the Dire Avenger spammers will feed me as I watch more and more of 40K die in the fires that seem to be coming out of Mr. Goatsce's rear end. Its that kind of fire. Not even a car or dumpster. The Goatman's gaping rear end in a top hat. That is where the fires of GW are at. Like its loving Trump Administration levels. Only you know, its nerd games and doesn't really loving matter to anyone no matter what they actually think. Kinda like Sports if you don't work in that industry. (I only have 1 DA squad and I havent loving played 40K at all since 5th ed so gently caress it. Ruin it all GW. Destroy a game I once called THE GAME I LOVE. DO IT BITCHES. BURN IT ALL. Ill watch the fanboys come up with new and hilarious excuses of why your latest stupid thing is in fact good and not bugfuck stupid. I mean Yall already made CSM and Nids rear end. I was lucky enough to get rid of Tau and Orks when I saw the writings on the wall. My IG are mostly AT43 figures which is a better game on its worst day than 40K has been in years...) Course I have been griping about stupid new poo poo since 3rd edition appeared that JUST DOESNT BELONG IN 40K MAAAAAN so I might be in the wrong about all the idiotic poo poo and ever expanding size of games. Id play the gently caress out of a revamped Final Liberation though. That was extremely my poo poo. Even without an Ork campaign. Though Armageddon eventually released one because who doesn't want to play as someone other than Imperials in these games?. Because Slitherine knows what I want.
