They have several unique mechanics, for example their bunkers can suppress infantry, making them play kinda like a CoH faction, when their morale breaks they go berserk and can't be controlled, a lot of their units can use mustard gas. Their Rough Riders can affix explosive lances and absolutely ruin vehicles on a charge and one of their Titans is a giant zeppelin. It's too bad they apparently got a chud to voice the Kriegers if his youtube channel is anything to go by. Also could you confirm whether this is an actual scheme they included in the mod or not, I saw on posted on Discord:  Because I've heard a lot of good things about that mod but this kinda seems like a dealbreaker.

Ye-oof. That would've been fine without the flag I think. Mordja posted:Unification report: Krieg is a lot of fun.

Meanwhile I still haven't been able to download the mod because their mod file is still busted as poo poo. Which people have pointed out in the moddb comments so I know it's just not me, but they can't seem to give a drat about it. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Aug 19, 2022 |

It's not really much of a surprise no. They, and the Steel Legion a bit, have always attracted the sketchier part of the fanbase. One reason I painted mine french blue.

There's a bunch of Guard regiments I'd be intensely wary of anyone being a big fan of. Krieg, the Praetorians (British Redcoats in space, with Orks standing in for the Zulus), and the Confederates (grey uniforms and all) prominent among them.

The last one is definitely one that only die hard fans remember I feel. But then the 1st 3rd ed codex regiment list had a lot of those that kinda make you go "Wait what?" when reading.

Yeah, no, in Germany the old flags are just nationalists and fascists instead of outright Nazis, it's a smart way to avoid the Bundesverfassungsschutz banning you.

You got the events of the Plague of Unbelief a bit mixed up. Cardinal Bucharis formed a triumvirate alongside a corrupt Guard and Navy commander and the action didn't really kick off until after Vandire was executed and Sebastian Thor took over. The fact that this happened was covered up Bucharis because Gathalamor was an isolated system and Bucharis heavily suppressed anything about what happened elsewhere to keep himself in power. Also I think you're also mixing it up with the events of the first war on Armageddon against Angron's daemon hordes where Björn shows up. The original text on the Battle of the Fang makes no mention of him showing up in this case. And then Bucharis gets undone by his own equivalent of Sebastian Thor. Even if this one doesn't survive his mock trial. To remark on something different, in one of the Dark Heresy splatbook for the first edition has a faction called The Temple Tendency, who are the survivors of the old ways of the Ecclesiarchy. To pretty much everyone else they're really an insidious heretical cult since they deny the current teachings and still uphold the Temple of the Saviour Emperor of the old days. They also loathe the Sisters and will do anything they can to make them suffer for their treachery. Ah yeah, for anyone curious what happens when Celestine dies and what she needs to do to come back, then read Celestine, the Living Saint Also the Paragon warsuits are much cooler than the Space Marine Centurions.  May I interest you in the newest version of Kill Team?

Not gonna lie I was really confused as to what you were even talking about since you're commenting on a completely different video to what just came out and it's weird when apropos of nothing you just start talking about something that I posted over a week ago and recorded audio for four weeks ago. Also my confusion was actually referencing the first siege of The Fang when Magnus attacked, mixed up with the second one when Bucharis attacked.

Yeah, I probably should've mentioned I watched the Guard video because I'm behind videos due to it being so drat hot or humid that watching anything is impossible because I need to have a jet engine of a fan running as not to die. My bad on that. And I will admit not being aware of the first siege. Because the second one also involves Space Wolves being mostly away on doing other things when they show up.

So from what I can tell, the Dark Eldar game plan is to have the enemy everything be occupied shooting... something, lets say a Talos, for a couple seconds, and it's only a couple seconds because the TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DAMAGE Dark Eldar weapons put out so nothing lives for very long. And instead of upgrading from anti infantry to anti tank they upgrade to anit infantry from anti tank?

I didn't like the DEldar. Poncy elves, but also spikey and evil, what a great combination [/sarcasm]. When I play any of the Dawn of War games, I'll play a match on a skirmish map so that I can figure out what the units do, and how I can maximize the squad and vehicle cap. When I tried the new races in Soulstorm, I did that, and just "noped" my way through all of the units. I just didn't want to play any of them.

I dunno, it's kinda weird that they'll have armour on top of armour. Why not just have bigger armour? Why put on armour on top of armour? The Grey Knight baby carrier is... yeah. But is it supposed to increase their armour save, or just give them greater reach and ability to use larger weapons? Because I'm thinking Aliens, and that powered forklift thing (which is probably what GW were also thinking). No excuse for the exposed pilot though. The Sisters of Battle Pentitent Engine makes sense (as far as anything is supposed to make sense in the grim darkness of the far future) because it's meant to be a punishment. Unless the Dreadknight is also meant to be a punishment?

Layered armor has existed for a very long time. Although putting a suit of plate armor outside another suit of plate armor was probably not very common. Since it's all powered armor it might work. And even if it doesn't it's still far from the stupidest thing in Warhammer by lightyears.

Poil posted:Layered armor has existed for a very long time. Although putting a suit of plate armor outside another suit of plate armor was probably not very common. Layered armour, yes, but it's different types of armour for different uses. Gambeson goes at the bottom so it can also provide padding against the other layers (one of the things that the Black Carapace does, aside from providing ports for the power armour to plug in). Then you get the mail hauberk, which is good at dispersing impact, and also covers bits that can't be covered by plate. And then you get plate over it.

Powered armor on powered armor means you can carry bigger things and hit harder with them. No more logic needs to be applied, now space marines can use tanks as melee weapons.

The power armour makes you strong enough to wear the other power armour. And that power armour makes you strong enough to wear the other power armour. And so on and so forth... That way lies madness. Before you know it, you're wearing a city with a nuclear power plant on your back to power it. ... wait, they've done that, haven't they?
