I think they came back, but they now mainly fly on one man blimp steampunk slash futuretech things as their main gimmick.

Those are the fantasy dwarves, the sci fi dwarves are ice road truckers that drive hover bikes.

Lizardmen are the founders of space travel and uplifted most of the current races because the pub Angry Ron bounced at had a gecko in an astronaut outfit as it's mascot.

Yeah, Warmachine launched a new edition, squatted a bunch of factions, and then went full resin 3d printer for their production line. This led to sending uncured(like literally one of the first people to buy a box at Genxon reported that he had chemical burns all over his hands after putting them together that noght) and low quality resin minis to their most loyal fans and ended up killing the game faster than Fantasy Flight killed Xwing.

I've always wondered. Like Benson's whole deal was the actual smart person in the room with a bunch of idiots running the government. Which kind of fits Roboute.

Orks also like to bolt giant effigies of toothy maws onto the front of their hulks to scare the daemons away, and since that's exactly the logic both daemons and orks work on, it sometimes works. Or they just get in-flight entertainment.

Apparently GW occasionally concedes that Chaos corrupted Orks can happen, but it's pretty rare and also usually pretty hard to tell them apart from regular Orks anyway, especially in the case of Khorne. Gork and Mork just already fill their spiritual needs perfectly.

possessed orks were part of the original army lists alongside the teenage rebellion orks that wear uniforms and fight in orderly formation. But the uniforms were based on SS uniforms so they got a revamp.

Orks don't have enough of a connection to the warp to be controlled by the demon, so the ork gets ball this power but the demon is just along for the ride. Eventually b driving b them insane.

this will always be the single biggest problem with any hobby really but games in general

why would you be mad to have more people to do fun stuff with? would it really be better to have the same 3 guys to min max power game at and remove all possibility of fun or new experiences? can those three guys single handedly keep a games store in business? at the prices they charge they might actually

what if GULP a GIRL showed up??

Because in their facile minds, the more people in the hobby, the more light gets shined on the grosser stuff and they're desperately afraid of change. The want things to remain exactly as they were when they got into the hobby at 15. How are they going to play a game with their 3d printed titty models if a girl shows up?


DnD is further along this route since Critical Roll brought a lot of newcomers to the hobby years ago and the regressives are getting to the mask off stage of their complaining.

Blood bowl had cheerleaders, but they were just orks with strategically placed squigs.

in Da Big Dakka there's dark eldar bitching about taking ork captives because they're too annoying to torture properly and are therefore worthless

In The Beast orks have a death star that's shaped like the boss's face and destroys planets by yelling so hard it disrupts gravity.

so space elon musks? gross

Not our AI, the real thing. They're humans who left Earth on generation ships like 35 thousand years ago. Because they broke from Earth before the 40k butlerian jyhad, they don't have the same prejudices towards AI that the rest of the Imperium does and consider their robots just as important as anyone else.

They know they're a human offshoot but play up being aliens because they don't want to deal with the Imperiums superstitious bullshit.

Though because they've developed an almost supernatural belief in the AI cores running their colony ships the cores are about 10-12k millenia past their shelf life and are starting get serious hard rive corruption.

Oh yeah, they actually played down the sex stuff a bit to play up more the decadence, indulgence and thrill seeking, and it actually worked. And ego, most Slaaneshi champions are higher than anything on their own ego, it's canon.

Yeah, it's something that the AoS team really nailed about Slaanesh. The model range really cover the range of the 6 deadly sins Slaanesh is in charge of.

Really just used the Persian court in 300 as a jumping off point.


Vvv Gallagher but it's his nuts instead of watermelons.

One of the details about the writing of FFG's Space Marine RPG, Deathwatch, was that the authors had a lot of trouble getting anything approved by GW. One issue they ran into time and again when writing any quotes was that GW wouldn't let a Space Marine use a contraction.

Oh, so that's why they won't let women be space marines.
