Cainer posted:Three times?! How is he still a scout?! The Administratum/Mechanicus lost the paperwork for his promotion the first time, then they thought someone was trying to scam them when they heard a Traitor Primarch was killed by a lowly scout. The final time the paperwork was submitted just solidified their distrust because it seemed like someone got lazy with his scam, because how could you kill someone twice? (Cloned Primarchs don't count).

SteelMentor posted:I will never forget the intense, mocking laughter followed by a curt “No” the Community team gave to the chode who suggested they reach out and partner ArchWarhammer at one of the Community recruitment days I got into. I have seen requests for him to go on the main 40k fans podcasts and the responses have varied between "Weeell we asked him a while back and he never got back to us" to something akin to "gently caress no". His fans keep asking though because they are not very smart.

Lord_Hambrose posted:I am excited for the new paints because I am a lovely painter who is too lazy and stupid to try harder, the perfect demographic to target. Same here. I mean I am also in the cusp of just quitting the hobby and am only staying on to possibly get some Sisters of Battle, so anything to help me cut down on painting time would make me staying a more sure thing.

Strobe posted:I'm kind of hoping T'au get honest to good T'au psykers, but that they're Farsight Enclaves only because ~Ethereals~. Psionic Beacon Drones. Plop them down as artillery during the psychic phase then have them randomly take over enemy units. Red Alert was cool, ok? (The actual best solution would be more xenos client races because I want the T'au to be as diverse as the lore suggests. And for Kroot not to suck. )

In regards to Renegades and such... I would really dig non-Chaos Renegades, both marines and others. Just people in general, fed up with the Imperium and doing their own thing, or fighting them like the Soul Drinkers did. A proper T'au auxilliary army would make me jump back into the hobby.

Safety Factor posted:It's me, another WHFB fan digging myself out of my grave. 8th edition sucked for a variety of reasons and was completely and insanely mismanaged by GW. There was a 9 month gap between the launch of the edition and its first army book, Orcs and Goblins. However, I will absolutely maintain that there was still plenty of life in the setting. All the game needed was a good shake-up alongside a well done 9th edition. There was even the perfect tie-in opportunity with Total War coming out. When End Times started up, I figured that was going to be the shake-up we needed and was legit excited about Nagash returning as the new big bad (I was ready for anything other than chaos for once) and what combined monster/rider statlines meant for 9th. Even after Glottkin I was still excited. But then they kept going. I mean, yeah, the Primaris procedure was supposed to be all dangerous and taxing for old marines. On the other hand we have marines that get their spines sliced in half and still survive so I don't think GW cares about what kinda things happen to marine bodies unless they think they might be cooler as dreads.

I mean in the old rules shielddrones were considered more or less useless except in edge cases. In fact a lot of Tau stuff was except for spamming very specific suits. I wish having a diverse army made up of many different alien auxilliaries was viable, with a more fluid playstyle, but the model range and rules aren't there.

Cooked Auto posted:ZOAT! Finally, a model for Australians. Edit: Oh, there are some lore bits that were missed or not mentioned in that big writeup. The Inquisition have been doing something! That something is murdering Roboute's historians and agents for the unspeakable crime of trying to make sense of Imperial history and actually figure out what even happened during various centuries. In fact it is very probable (I speculate) that they would murder the big blue himself, if they didn't think that would turn the entire Imperium against them. Or that he would be ressurrected again and murder them right back. The Blood Ravens got stuck behind the maelstrom, fighting to keep order. Then the custodes showed up, told them to accept some new Primaris buddies or gently caress off. Which the Ravens accepted because they aren't morons, also because they might have clues as to the chapter's genetic heritage. The fact that their new battle brothers brought new wargear that the chapter didn't even have to steal was left unmentioned, but I presume it was implied. Angelos was mentioned, but it wasn't specified where he was or his status, as I recall. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jan 26, 2020 |

goose willis posted:Gue'vesa are still a thing in the fluff right? I remember they had rules for like five seconds around 4th edition and then promptly faded out of existence, I wish they became formalized because I'd LOVE to run them What I really want out of T'au are two things: Auxiliaries and strange new tech that has nothing to do with suits. Give us Gue'vesa with proper vehicles or equipment we haven't seen, give us all those weird races like the Demiurg, flying Nicassar psykers, Hrenians and Ranghon (whatever they are).

Improbable Lobster posted:T'au being good is good for 40k's satire because they can survive or even thrive without committing horrible atrocities Yeah, which a lot of people didn't realize and wanted to make them more grimdark in the most hamfisted ways possible. Like old GW heard feedback from non-T'au players that were getting their butts handed to them in one edition by Fish-of-Fury tactics and the like, about the T'au being too hopeful and cheery and good. So their measured response was having the T'au show up and start genociding a planetary populace via conventional arms, making hammy villain speeches in various books to Imperial protagonists, and implying the T'au were deliberately killing off their own allied races for their planets. When it was already grimdark enough that their whole race was living under constant mind control and that no-one really knew what the Ethereals wanted, plus the whole naivety thing meant they might at some future point unleash all hell on the galaxy without even realizing why. It was throwing a subtle and effective grimdark out for a blatant and boring one to please people who didn't play them anyway.

goose willis posted:Does the fluff still have indirect hints about Eldar having created the ethereal caste and/or guiding the Tau in some way or did they retcon it out? It's....kinda hard to tell. There hasn't been much focus on the T'au aside from their book and a few references in comics, of all things. The whole Rift thing means most of the story focus has been on the Imperium and Chaos. As I recall, even some Necrons like the Silent King were speculated to have been involved in the T'au creation, but then there's a recent story excerpt that hints about him having created the Tyranids for some reason too. Despite him also supposedly having allied with the Blood Angels to fight the Tyranids. What I can say in regards to the Eldar is that I haven't seen any mention of it being retconned or mentioned recently.

mccnaol posted:I'm excited about Gretchin getting their own Klan culture as I've started an army of them for fun and now hopefully they can be legal in matched play 😁 and yes I know I will never actually win a game 😂 I played gretchin in Gorkamorka a while back and it was hilarious. I actually did fairly well with them, if only because most people had no idea how to play against them and their weird scrapheaps.
