It's pretty clear what he means in the context of "I tell them lies," but they're using that to invalidate the whole story. So far this is the best / only explanation for Bad Dad Emperor.

I like the idea that the Emperor's personality that you see is as much of a construct from the viewer as his face is. Do you want a noble patrician? That's what you see Do you want a god like mechanical being? That is what you see Do you want a god like chump you can manipulate? That is what you see.

It looks rad. I like the scale of the marines and their terrifying speed and endurance, which seems emphasized here. Pretty sure I saw a dude fighting without an arm.

He was taking bolter shells and plasma shots as he ran i think. Having the regular people getting gibbed right next to the giants in armor fighting is real cool. Especially shows how the Contemptor dreadnaught is so vicious at the end there. Zasze posted:

Not to reduce this, because I think it's fully sick work- but I feel like I've seen a few of the shots before. Did he use the animation rigging and set pieces for the Gears of War E-day scenes for the fleeing civilians as a base? It's been a while but I'm feeling a familiarity. It's be super hyped to see a "making of" feature, the quality of the models alone is insane.

I think the animation is amazing, but I don’t know if it is my old man ears or what but I had trouble understanding what the marines were saying.

Not only to they have some heavy voice modulation on the lines but they sound like they were recorded on crap mics by some buds on Skype with little to no prior voice acting experience. Same problems as The Lord Inquisitor had.

The Jonathan Keeble voices for Helsreach are excellent since they're from the audiobook but the couple here and there that he recast for diversity's sake aren't always the best.

ADB says they just switch to peer to peer vox links when they don't want humans to overhear them.

Yeah, the coded dialects are an Imperial Guard thing, but they're not exactly difficult to crack apparently.

bango skank posted:Not a book, but everybody seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=medYpKTrBAQ Is this supposed to be any particular world in Ultramar? The wide shot of the explosions and tracers shooting into the sky has a shadow that looks like a ship falling to the planet surface making me think of either Calth or Nuceria. A ship does get knocked out of the sky in Betrayer, right? It’s been a while and several books since I’ve read it.

In the Horus Heresy books, at least, it was a thing in every legion. All Marines can speak Low and High Gothic, but amongst themselves each legion had its own language taken from their homeworld.

If it was all the shouting and yelling it would honestly be better. When people try to read lines dramatically without the writing to back it up it just sounds terrible.

Basically it's like that episode of TNG where that alien race spoke in allegories. While giving battle orders they'd reference something that only those in the legion would understand since it's meaningless without context.

I was thinking about getting into some WH:Fantasy stuff. I really enjoyed Eisenhorn when I read it like 10 years ago, should I start with Fell Cargo because it's Abnett or Witch Hunter since it's similar thematically?

Fell Cargo is great if you like the swashbuckling sub-genre, but for someone who is just getting into the wh fantasy world, I'd recommend the Gotrek & Felix books, especially if you can get them cheaply, the first four or five books are easy to read and introduce a lot of the warhammer world little by little. The first ones are, if I recall correctly, Trollslayer, Skavenslayer, Demonslayer and Dragonslayer. Angry Lobster fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Dec 27, 2017 |

Witch Hunter is good, so you'll be ok there. Warhammer Fantasy is tough, since there are no real good "starter" books - you kind of have to be a little familiar with the Warhammer world. To be honest though, if you have a basic understanding of LotR or D&D, you should be able to get by. Just remember that everything is lovely and on the edge of collapse. As an aside, if you can get a hold of the RPG books, they are chock full of lore and background.

The Warmaster cannot be gotten physically. Out of stock on amazon and the book depository. Popped into my local GW to be told I would have to pay for it upfront before they could order it in for me. Thanks Dan. (I didn't order it.)

When I order or pre-order models at my FLGS I pay full price up front as well. It's extremely weird to me that you'd expect anything else.
