Valko posted:I stopped watching it about four minutes in. Guess I'm not missing anything. Marbo's my favorite 40k character as he's essentially First Blood's Rambo except in addition to ignoring his mental health the powers above him just keep sending him back into hellish warzones where he's the only survivor and then everyone acts real confused when he's traumatized to the point of being almost non-verbal so they chalk it up as "he obviously was born 'not quite right'"

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:The primarch of the Iron Hands is named Ferrus Manus Benagain posted:the primarch of the dark angels is named lion el'johnson hot cocoa on the couch posted:(writer of the poem "Dark Angel") This is basically a trend. The guy who oversees the Mongols expy is named Khan, of course (Jaghatai Khan, which I suppose is better than something like "Jengiss Khan") The guy who is in charge of the Blood Angels is called Sanguinius. The guy whose Space Marine's group's hat is fire and forging weapons is named Vulkan. The Chaos Space Marine Primarch whose whole hat is being a sour rear end in a top hat who never spoke up about his issues is named Perturabo (Perturbed). The bad one who got raised on a planet filled with toxic gas that always kept him on the edge of death is named Mortarion. The one whose obsession with religious dogma and people's constant desire for it is named Lorgar (LORE-gar). The twin primarchs who got found last are named Alpharius and Omegon. If this wasn't on the nose enough, it later got retconned that Alpharius had actually been the actual very first Primarch to be found, even before Horus, the main Primarch who got mindfucked into breaking everything, and Omegon was the last one. And the guy who ran the nutcase Batman/Punisher murder-terror vigilantes was named Konrad Curze, which doesn't really have any hammer to the face secondary meaning, it's just incredibly edgelordy. It's a running joke to make fun of the guy in charge of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman's name, rendering it as stuff like "Rowboat Girlyman", but in all honesty we're lucky he's not named Caesar Azurekeen or something like that.

I enjoy the baroqueness of 40k lore and the fact that they are willing to just rip stuff off whatever. I don't think I would ever play a table top game or anything like that.

I have never played warhammer but it feels like it started out as equal parts satire and low-budget nerdery channeling a heavy metal aesthetic, just smashing out some goofy skull stuff for their space orcs/elves or whatever. Followed up by a shift to including a lot of content from people who didn't get the joke and took the grimdark edgelording seriously.

Also Kurtz is from Nostramo which sounds like the ship from Alien but is actually another Joseph Conrad reference.

Asterite34 posted:tbf have you seen the aliens humanity shares a galaxy with? Those guys are loving psychos. I'm not gonna shed a tear over the genocide of the world-devouring Xenomorphs or the S&M Juggalo Elves or the Skeleton Robots or murderous soccer hooligan Orcs or whatever Something all the recent Horus Heresy stuff has made clear is that the Imperium and the Emperor were never good. The Imperium of 40k is a twisted version of a different horror from 30k. They don't destroy aliens for some well-justified reason. They destroy them for the crime of existing. A plot point they've done at least twice is that actually humans and aliens can live side by side in peace just fine, and have done so for thousands of years, right up until the Emperor's Imperium comes to genocide them in the Great Crusade. The 40k era Imperium is weaker and stretched thin, and though they still ideologically think aliens should be destroyed, they end up having more varied dealings with them for pragmatic reasons. Including an occasional understanding that the kind of aliens that eat your faces are a common enemy. Elukka fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Mar 28, 2024 |

One of my favorite parts of warhams is theyre will be things in the lore that are impossibly ancient, utterly indestructable, and completely irreplaceable and then on the tabletop some Orkz will smash apart with choppaz

Saint Celestine is pretty cool because the Emperor himself John Woos it up and sends doves for her. Also she has big rear end wings.
