Jimmy Noskill posted:I’ve always felt that Chaos was the lamest part of both Warhammer settings. In theory they’re supposed to be dark reflections of humanity’s basest emotions, blah blah, but in practice they’re just four flavors of murderous psychopath. Their existence undercuts what little remains of the setting’s satire, as space fascism doesn’t seem so bad when there really ARE soul-eating demons out there. Chaos owns actually and its not that fascism is necessary because of chaos it’s that literal skull collecting blood berserkers and guys made mainly out of tentacles are somehow less horrifying than the fascist dystopia that is the imperium. It’s also explicitly clear in the setting that the imperium is its own worst enemy and how poo poo it is drives people towards chaos. Space fascism is worse than chaos and that’s the joke.

Orks intrinsically know how to build incredible tech out of literal scrap, it’s built into them. There’s 50/50 on how much of it works because of collective ork belief that it just will vs actual engineering.

Should be pointed out that they were very much a punchline and all the other orks explicitly thought they were dumb as poo poo. It was a very 80s way of laughing at nazis.

The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude. From Culture vs. Kultur: Thoughts on Orkish Society by Uthan the Perverse, a controversial Eldar philosopher

I question how anyone thought Tau were supposed to be good unless you really weren’t paying attention. It’s always been ‘congratulations you have been selected to join the empire!’ and if you refuse out come the rail guns and battle suits. If you do join the co prosperity sphere you get to find that some (the tau) are more equal than others. They are a classic expansionist empire and you can physically feel the pith helmets coming through the page when they describe other species they’ve subsumed.

I believe the first one is realm slayer.

Hot take time. 3d printers are great but people who are into them vastly undersell how accessible they are for the average person because they don’t understand that tinkering around with slicer programs and optimising print supports while also troubleshooting printer issues and dealing with poison rear end resin isn’t as fun for other people as it is for them. It’s basically its own hobby. Also while you can get great stuff out of printers it’s always the folks posting “3d printer goes brrr” that post up space marines that look like the Michelin man and go like “can’t even tell the difference from legit gw”  .

Tabletop tactics in particular seems to have decided to whirlwind slam the latter since I last regularly watched their stuff, they were always on that side of things but holy moly they’ve gotten so much worse.

Short version is that instead of C’tan running the necrons, the necrons rose up to break and chain them because they were terribly upset about the whole being deceived into feeding their souls to a bunch of fuckhead space parasites. C’tan on the tabletop are bound and enslaved shards of the gods.

It’s heavily implied/stated in the infinite and the divine that even the high ranking necrons like trayzn and orikan probably don’t have 100% accurate memories of their lives pre biotransfer because the Ctan are dicks. No spoilers but they remember some pretty major events completely differently.

Comstar posted:As I do not have the time to go back in time to read it, can you please tell me via spoiler? Trayzn remembers that during the time where the necrontyr were being undergoing biotransferance that he was vehemently against it and tried to run away and hide before being captured and dragged to the soul furnaces in chains. Orikan remembers that it was himself who hid away and was dragged to the furnace by, amongst others, Trayzn. In his memory Trayzn embraced biotransfer willingly. It’s up in the air how you interpret that, but given the deceitful nature of the Ctan it’s entirely likely they remember things incorrectly by design.

The problem with the good heresy books is that’s it’s quite hard to say to someone that something like saturnine is incredible because it’s a book sitting almost at the end of a 70+ book series. Saturnine is legitimately fantastic though and the audiobook is great. If you wanted something early that’s good definitely first heretic, know no fear and betrayer are tight and related to each other.

Your Family posted:Why is it that, in a lot of 40k artwork, the battlefields always seemed cramped and congested and there's just way too many loving dudes? Is there a reason for that? I know nothing of these games, but that's the one thing that always stood out to me: all the soldiers so crammed into every battle they're in. It’s because the feel of warhammer 40k has more in common with this:   than modern realistic warfare or hard sci-fi. Mr Teatime fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Apr 27, 2024 |

sharknado slashfic posted:Ultras have like 8 billion successor chapters which they pretend are legally distinct. There’s a bit in the night lords trilogy where a character recalls the ultramarines legion storming their fortress world and delivering a savage rear end beating. He’s very clear that despite it really being a whole bunch of ultramarine successor chapters and the ultras themselves they all just neatly slot right back together into a cohesive legion sized force when they need to and the parent chapter calls. Also btw gws greatest lore retcon success is that abbaddon actually owns now, both in the literal triumph sense and as a good as hell character. His appearances in the latter Horus heresy novels turn him into a genuinely compelling character (see stuff like saturnine) and the black legion novels are fukn great. Also his mini slaps.

Yadoppsi posted:Did any of the lore in "Xenology" get retconned out? I remember the big reveals from that folio were Orks and Eldar were created to fight the Necrons long ago and that devotees of the Laughing God may have created the Ethereal caste of Tau by transplanting organs from an alien hive-queen they kidnapped. No the orks and eldar being creations of the old ones is solidly in the lore. Specifically though they made the Krork which are what the orks sort of devolved from. You know how orks get physically bigger, technologically able and psychically powerful the more fighting they do and how big a waaagh they gather into? Well Trayzn has a Krork in his museum collection and the thing is 12 metres tall and wearing armour that is compatible to astartes gear in sophistication. The war of the beast books aren’t great but they do give an idea of what happens when orks start regaining some of that old power. The best bit is when they are shown to have an actual ambassador who clowns on the imperial senate on terra. https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/s/YqIaf7Qab5 It’s also I guess sort of insinuated that Ghazghkull’s ascension and growth is the same process that created the antagonists in the war of the beast and it’s happening again.

Kharn is great and despite the odds, given that him and his legion are blood mad berserkers in 40k, Kharn and the world eaters are one of the better written legions in the 30k novels. If you can take angron and make him compelling you’ve done well. Just read betrayer.

The emps whole thing was guiding the ascension of humanity and the primarch project was really about forcing the issue.
