At this point you can be sure that literally every race that was ever mentioned will be added in. They have the map now so even amazons will be added in because they know it'll sell, the question is just when they'll add it.

I'm colourblind and all that looks like piss colour over black to me. I assume there are good and bad colour-coded stats.

Blooming Brilliant posted:I don't think this was discussed? Another thing that this tells us is that Ogres probably won't get walls, and even more, when other factions take land in the Ogre homelands, they won't be able to make walls...which is pretty lore accurate, since Ogres live in mountainous terrain with massive wildlife that most other factions can't really thrive in. I'd imagine they'll be pretty similar to Norsca, a homeland with full buildings, but only able to establish camps or something outside of it.

I don't mind the dark coloured UI but I am curious how it will look against the normal terrain. It looks fine for like, the purely UI screens they have showed but I can't imagine it against the campaign or battle maps unless the terrain is also extremely red.

When nu-GW happened and chaos got resurrected from being flavourless trash, Death Guard got put in the 40k starter box. I think that's what lead to the tons of Nurgle stuff. Starter box factions always get popular because it's by far the most affordable way to build a tabletop army. Nurgle also benefits from having a consistent good aesthetic. They just barely figured out Slaanesh beyond "boobies!", Khorne is dull, and Tzeentch suffers from needing to have physical designs of things that are supposed to be so anti-reality your brain breaks if you look at them. Nurgle's aesthetic works and suits the lore. Also, much like fish elves, the AoS Nurgle snail man is invited to TWW in my opinion.

I think you’re right that Khorne (as depicted) is dull and Tzeentch is hard, but I would argue Slaanesh’s aesthetic is ‘figured out’ - it’s just that fully executing on it is impossible because it is too spicy to market.

Slannesh is the god of obsessives and hedonists, so his aesthetic is boobs and crab hands naturally. As a concept Slannesh is really interesting but the execution is basically this meme but it's "perfection is often subjective and unobtainable" - "not all earthly pleasures are carnal" WOW COOL BOOBS!

AOS Slaanesh rules now. I wish they'd leaned a bit harder into Khorne as martial exemplars and not just full on blood psychos, but I don't play Khorne so what do I know.

yeah, the slaanesh stuff in AOS whips rear end. they're getting better at nailing the aesthetic without relying on booba.

I think crab claws make sense because 1. they’re asymmetrical (even on crabs) which is unsettling and attacks the part of your brain that contextualizes things - it’s looking for symmetry in humanish figures. 2. A crab claw - unlike a generalist human hand or tentacle, is specialized to do exactly one thing, perfectly. 3. You have to do things you might otherwise do with your hand using other parts than your hand. As of the most recent dlc there are 69 selectable legendary lords in mortal empires FYI.

I always thought Noise Marines were a perfect execution and a unique approach to Slaaneshi excess. Maybe they can work rocking the gently caress out into Slaanesh soul grinders to get past the tech gap. Or Slaanesh casters magically amplify their decrees across the winds. Blow out eardrums in melee, enormous debuffs/buffs, huge knockbacks and formation disruption. Hell, make a new school, lore of sonic booms.

Of all the Chaos factions Slaanesh is definitely the one that works best by sticking to the 80s aesthetic. Hair metal bands but like with crab hands I guess.

The crab claws suck and are just a holdover from the days when GW had no idea how to do Slaanesh and just made random monsters with tits. The new look for slaanesh with all the elaborate armor, fancy dresses and excess suits the faction much better  Zzulu fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Oct 17, 2021 |

One of my favorite things about The Evil Within 2 is that one of the villains, an insane photographer, has a series of classy but disturbing motifs in the areas he controls. These are long red curtains, tiled floors, studio lighting, and cameras. The song Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for strings, Op 48" also plays constantly when he's around. "Classy but disturbing" would also work for Slaanesh.

I’m a die hard crabber and while some crab species do have a crusher and ripper claw it’s not universal at all. It’s super obvious on lobsters but nobody cares about those weirdos.  Pacific Red Rock crab. About at perfectly symmetrical as you can get.
