Arc Hammer posted:Shame they couldn't get Mark Strong back to voice Titus. So many 40K games try to do the deep imposing voice thing but they always sound forced, while Strong just sounds like that on a regular day. Yep I’m disappointed that Mark Strong isn’t back as Titus, too.

Whole lotta bangers on deep discount on Steam (and even deeper discount on Fanatical). I already own pretty much everything I would have wanted but I'm shilling pretty hard to my friends right now lol

NihilCredo posted:Note: don't buy Chaos Gate Daemonhunters from the Steam sale, you can get it for $11 through Humble Choice until the end of May. Thanks for the heads-up on this. Also GOG has Epic 40k: Final Liberation for free right now. Dunno if it's any good, but hey it's free.  Edit-- Speed Freeks free alpha is live right now, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iej4lTVI_Tg Edit-- lol, Fire Warrior is $0.89 on GOG.  And when you're done, read the book that's orders of magnitude better than the game! Xenomrph fucked around with this message at 16:58 on May 26, 2023 |

Game idea: Warhammer 40K: Arbites, basically SWAT 4 or Rainbow Six but Warhammer, FPS tactical shooting where sometimes you have to defuse a hostage situation or bomb threat, sometimes you have to breach a void ship and neutralize a bunch of heretics or genestealer cultists, and sometimes you kick down a door and lob in a flashbang to find out you just interrupted a Daemonhost summoning ritual.

Are the Old Ones and the Slann the same thing in 40K? I know Age of Sigmar has the Slann but I swear they were a 40K race too. Am I crazy?

So are the Slann sort of a shared element between Age of Sigmar and 40K, like the Chaos gods?

Arc Hammer posted:I'd like to see a team up between Cawl, Trazyn and Ahriman to see which one of them can be the biggest kleptomaniac knowledge seeking dick. It’s Trazyn, he’s been at it the longest. But I’d like to see the other two try to steal from him with some elaborate scheme and Trazyn just sighs and says “amateurs.”

Biplane posted:Yeah thats what I always thought, they're real slow but theres so many of them, and what we're seeing is the tail end of their 96 million year journey from Andromeda or wherever The thing is that space is Real Big, if they’re traveling sub-light between star systems then humanity has like millennia of advance warning of where they’re going and what planets they’re going to try and eat. They need some kind of FTL for them to be any kind of real threat.

Calax posted:Yes, but also no. Sure, but if they’re going less than FTL, after the first attack you wouldn’t see another attack for decades to centuries, if not longer. That makes for a somewhat less impactful existential threat. In other news I had some Amazon digital credit to burn so I bought Pariah and Penitent for my kindle, but I’m thinking I’m going to re-read the Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies first since it’s been an extremely long time since I read them.

Is there a suggested reading order among the Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin books for when I should read Magos? Unrelated but one thing I liked in the 8th edition codexes is that they all had essentially the same galactic map but with faction-specific details picked out. I always thought it was a bit of a missed opportunity that the official Warhammer Community didn’t digitize all of those maps into an interactive website where you could click on filters to see how different factions line up or overlap, etc.

OPAONI posted:I need them to have a 40 page argument/vent session. Alternately, a completely baffling BL mandate where the two never speak to each other again, for no discernible reason. Really lean into it, where one leaves the room just as the other enters, to the point where characters wonder if they’re not both the same person because no one ever sees them in the same place at the same time. Have bizarre contrivances for why they can’t even talk with each other over vox. Get really stupid with it. Xenomrph fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Feb 6, 2024 |

Bohemian Nights posted:Maybe it's because I'm in a post teatd fugue, but I bought brutal kunnin' on audible, and I just absolutely can not get into the VA, who seems to be afraid to raise his voice, which works very poorly for an ork book- though in fairness, it is perhaps a book not well suited for narration, what with orks screaming all of the time Speaking of Mike Brooks, I’d listened to like 6 hours of this months ago, forgot all of it in the intervening time (this is a big problem for me if I take long breaks while listening to an audiobook, this isn’t the book’s fault) and restarted it today. It IS a funny book!

Warhammer: 2019 It’s about the political climate of the era and it ends up being the inciting incident that gets the Emperor to say “what the gently caress? Okay I need to step in” and start his unification campaign.

Sorry to double-post, but if I like buying codexes for lore and art and less about rules and stats (although I guess that stuff is neat too), are the 10th edition Necron and Mechanicus codexes worth my time when compared to the 9th edition ones?

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:there’s a couple little “oh that’s neat” moments in TEATD3 but it doesn’t fundamentally rewrite the lore. finding out stuff like the origins of lilean chase and that Xanthus (one of the Inquisition’s founders) is Basilio Fo is cool, but if you expected anything other than “Horus fights the Emperor, the Emperor kills Horus, the Emperor is badly wounded and gets installed on the Golden Throne” then I don’t know what to tell you. New book series coming soon: The Real Horus Heresy “I’m sure you’ve heard the stories about the civil war. As they say, everything is canon, but none of what you read is true. My name is Garviel Loken, and I’m here to tell you what REALLY happened.” Another 20-year 60-book series aw yeah baybee!
