I wonder if they’ll reprint it in WD 500?

One of my favorite illustrations is Thr Macro Cannon here They are standard weapons on imperial ships It looks like in order to work each gun needs an army of slaves to work the mechanisms (by pulling ropes) and load the chamber

Autoloaders are unreliable, what do you do when they break?

Whose everyone's favorite chaos god I guess Nurgle seems like a pretty jolly fellow if I had to choose one. Khorne seems like he takes things a little too serious all the time, Slaanesh is a weirdo freak, and Tzeentch probably squawks too much.

The Alpha Legion are just barely a little bit of flavour away from being Cobra. They're even founded by Tomax and Xamot.

I remember as a kid being impressed and actually a little freaked out by this lil nightmare poem that appeared in one of the old books:quote:Do not ask which creature screams in the night. but then the actual depictions of Tzeentch (Egyptian-inspired dudes, a big birdman, ludicrous scheming) only seemed even goofier by comparison. Likewise, I remember getting spooked by a Necromunda one-page story about a terrifying vampiric serial killer known in hushed whispers only as "the devil Valois", and then they released the model with rules and he was just a goofy little guy with a fun Halloween motif:  grobbo fucked around with this message at 13:21 on May 8, 2024 |

Smugworth posted:Whose everyone's favorite chaos god Khorne is right out, there's nothing appealing about him. Tzeentch would be cool if not for the absolute certainty that you'll eventually fail and be betrayed because that is literally his nature, he can't ever win or there'd be nothing to plot about. Slaanesh is sex and drugs, which is cool on the face of it, except for how quickly it degenerates into "hey, you know what's really hot, rolling around in human feces while cutting pieces of yourself off, that's a sensation you haven't tried yet". Papa Nurgle just loves you and wants to be happy and will give you billions of microscopic friends so that you'll never be alone again.

There’s a bit in a 40k novel where a Slaanesh cult leader gets very frustrated leading his men into battle because when the first guy gets shot a bunch of other guys see it and are like “holy poo poo that look like it hurts really bad, I wanna try it!” and run out of cover to try to get shot.

Slaanesh seems to use the Cenobite definition of "sensation" which isn't actually appealing to most people, like maybe if you're already a serial killer sure but otherwise lol no thank you.

Slaaneshi are pretty much Cenobites from day one, yeah. Funny thing, Khorne is a lot closer to original Ares, just lacking going crying to his mommy when he actually gets hurt.

Oh yeah, they actually played down the sex stuff a bit to play up more the decadence, indulgence and thrill seeking, and it actually worked. And ego, most Slaaneshi champions are higher than anything on their own ego, it's canon.
