Does anybody else use those Infinity cardboard scenery packs? They're surprisingly good for the price and I got two of the military base kit for just ten dollars each and I figure they're good for the ~budget gamer~ I just need to find some 40k-style skull stickers to stick on all the logos

Disregarding Tyranids obviously The warp is caused by people, there aren't a lot of people between galaxies, thus I don't think lore wise you could travel too far. Tyranids don't even use the warp to travel super long range and there ships are people!

Hi, I haven't played this game since 5th Edition was new and the Assault on Black Reach box was the big deal for getting started on this game. I have a decent size Ork army and want to know what I should be running so I don't get my rear end kicked too badly whenever I play now. Can any decent/good Ork players give me a starting point? I can post a roster with my entire army if that would help in the advice giving.

Does this mean that the warp is totally different in other galaxies and all sorts of weird poo poo could be going on Like I thought the Chaos gods were omniscient beings that could see the entire universe at once, not just our galaxy

goose willis posted:Does this mean that the warp is totally different in other galaxies and all sorts of weird poo poo could be going on it means the warp was totally different even in the imperium's galaxy just centuries before emps embarked on the great crusade, because it was informed by the collective emotions of a bunch of xenos societies that were subsequently genocided by the imperial expedition fleets i mean hell, the original War In Heaven was brought to an end by the Enslavers' invasion of realspace, a variety of daemon-entity that owes no allegiance to any particular chaos god and derives from a time before humans budded off the primate evolutionary tree. the warp changes frequently, if anything the ten thousand years of human hegemony in the galaxy enforced a weird sort of stasis on the warp by feeding it a steady diet of predominantly human emotions and souls, twisting its daemons into more or less anthropocentric patterns besides, i'm sure the agents of the chaos gods have no reason to upsell the reach and omniscience of their gods to enemies and potential converts. it's not like daemons and daemon-prophets are known to lie, either openly or by omission

I got my 9 Crisis Suits stripped of their 16 year old, extra thick Dark Angels Green spray paint. I pulled the all the gear off them, and I am on a roll! I assembled my new in box Broadside in my new Crisis Suit pattern. (I figured 6 was enough.)  Thanks thread. After my boxes get here, I will be up to 15 Crisis Suits and 2 Commanders. I was going to make 9 as Flamer/Flamer/Burst cannon. That leaves 6 and 2 commanders. Any advice on how which layouts I should use? Edit: I also got like two hours worth of gunmetal grey on my Howling Griffons. dexefiend fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Do any books ever touch on how the losing of the primarchs actually happened? I know it's "whisked away by chaos" but what does that mean?

The very second book of the black library series and The First Heretic. Time shenanigans perpetuated by (possibly) lying daemons. Zaphod42 posted:Except the true answer was always: The Emperor is a bad father I get the impression whenever Lorgar and Daddy Emps met the Emperor took him aside and said "Hay, lay off the worshiping stuff". Lorgar took that to mean "Ho ho ho, god sure does work in mysterious ways! Better worship him HARDER!" and it took destroying a city for it to sink in.

one of my favorite bits in Master of Mankind was Arkhan Land's flashback to being called in to consult on Emp's first inspection of Angron, after he got the big angry boy back to the Imperial Palace. the one where he tells land that he sees the primarchs as weapon delivery systems, first last and only, and finds the whole idea that he's technically their father, and that they consider him such, ridiculous it still mystifies me that he abducted angron via teleport before the last battle of his not-spartacus servile war, rather than teleporting down with a picked band of custodes to intervene in angron's favor when the critical phase of the battle arrived. he could've won angron's love, or at least loyalty, so easily if he'd bothered to

I love overwhelming my opponent with Battlewagons and boyz, escorted by PK biker warbosses. Just have fun.

REDACTED They're kept around mostly as a loose plot thread for the fanbase to pick up and run with. Lost legions, custom chapters, etc. The two missing primarchs give players a lot of avenues to mess around with if they feel the need. Forge World and Black Library tease a little here and there, but there's nothing substantial out there.

I can't remember which book this happened in but perturabo had some flags back that suggested that one if them died or failed some test the emperor put the primarchs through. I was smoking lots of weed in this period and may not be remembering correctly.
