Cornwind Evil posted: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 I'd bet this is a reference to colonel Kurtz from apocalypse now/heart of darkness, which was written by Joseph Conrad. 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.

I think it all makes sense through the lens of a bunch of nerdy teenagers in the UK during the 80s. Imperium are angry white people who voted for thatcher, eldar are snooty rich people gentrifying all the nice neighbourhoods, orks are students, punks, and common folk at a football game just out to face a good time

Captain Invictus posted:I remember when they made those rulesets for custom vehicles in white dwarf, and so being the nerd I am I immediately made a nearly-2000-point Gundam Heavyarms Custom using the gunpla I had recently purchased. so it had like 12 twin-linked gatling heavy bolters and a bunch of gatling missile pods and multi-targeting so it could attack multiple enemy units at a time and it had like 12 structure points or whatever. I took it to my LGS and played against a guy who had a full imperial guard army and wanted to try it out against those new vehicle rules. so it was his entire 2k IG force against the one Gundam and two squads of space marine scouts iirc Oh hell yeah, this sounds like the coolest thing. Reminds me of the modders who realised that Fromsoft's games have a lot of technical similarities and imported an armored core model into Elden Ring. It doesn't do anything other than provide a sense of scale, but surely one day we'll have our ridiculous crossover.
