Arcsquad12 posted:For a Source Filmmaker video that is incredibly well done. Adding the chicken scratch overlay helps deepen the shadows and obscure the textures on the actual models into something more painterly and less CG marionettes. And I loved how he referenced the Yarrick picture of him triumphantly holding up the power klaw. GW needs to write this guy a big check. He's got a fantastic vision for Helsreach, I hope he does the whole drat book.

Jerkface posted:The BFG game needed a true turn based mode. I know there was "strategic mode" or whatever but I really wanted it to be more like the table top and let me decide my dang turns. There is the mobile game Battlefleet Gothic Leviathan. I have it on iOS and it's pretty much an exact copy of the tabletop game, dice rolls and turns and all. I assume it's on android as well but not really sure.

Quick lore question: we know that 40K SM Chapters use their trainees in the Scout Companies, but what do the 30K Legions do with them? In the tabletop there's no unit equivalent for them - Recon Marines are actually specifically noted as being very experienced. Do they just graduate from their testing/implanting procedure straight into tac squads?

There's an audio drama involving a couple of raven guard secretly helping some minotaurs they owe a life debt and I'm pretty sure the minotaurs had a kinda russian/eastern european thing going on. I like the dramas I've heard, they feature actual casts and have a score/effects. They're not all amazing or anything but there's a Cain one where if you like Cain, you'll like it. Dark eldar, tyranids, jungles. ADB wrote a night lords one I mentioned before at some point but it's solid.

I'd guess it's the same path as inducted Scouts - start in a Devastator squad, move to Assault, then into a Tac squad.

A couple of the Heresy books have mentioned the 40k Codex style being the norm among Legions, but as always some legions do it differently. IIRC the Salamanders are mentioned as starting new members as Tacticals, then assessing where their individual talents seem to lie and moving them into the appropriate specialization.

There's also the Black Templar method and the Space Wolves method that we know about, so presumably there are a few more ways of handling it.

berzerkmonkey posted:Yeah, they make some weird choices for character voices. To be fair though, whenever the books mention deep, rumbly Space Marine voices I find myself thinking of something closer to death metal growls than…whatever that was. (Poor man's black metal vocals, I guess?  ) Grimaldus's voice at least seems to be fine. Mark Strong was great in the various 40k games he was involved in, but then again he's Mark Strong.

At first the voice was strange, but the more he talked the more I thought it was actually pretty loving great. I guess it just came from expecting every Astartes to sound like Titus from that Space Marine video game.

I can't decide if I like Toby Longworth doing a bad ah-so Asian accent for the White Scars in Scars, or his lady voice for when he has to do a female character. The audio dramas with casts and sound effects are so much cooler from a production standpoint, but almost none of them I've listened to go anywhere.

So I started reading Perturabo, and wow...quote:'Look at the size of that boy's penis!' One courtier cried out, gesturing madly at the bulging penis hanging down beneath Perturabo's knee length skirt. It's bulbous head flared into the gaudy shape of a fleshy hammer, it's girth the size of a small baby's arm. What. The. gently caress.

It's like when Far Cry 3 came out and everyone was complaining to the devs that there was no FOV slider on PC, and the devs just went "legitimate copies with the day 1 patch have a POV slider"

The dramatis personae should also include detailed descriptions of genitalia or lack thereof. Or they can publish an art book called "An Eternity of Dickpics". Or dickslates or dickscrolls, whatever they call them.
