Darktide is half model compliant. Sad they didn't give the skittles a way to look like the assassins despite giving them the chordclaw & vibro blades.
>>
>>98253368
The Tyranids are all pretty gritty. The Imperium is still dark but treats their darker aspects like heroic ones, which is tone appropriate. It's only the Ultramarines being less grim than most space marines and the Thousand Sons being goofy wacky villains really.

It's a combination of different factors to me. I'm actually okay with things being bright and colourful instead of darktide Grey-brown-green combos, but because of it and the model-accurate aesthetic, there isn't anything scary about the forces of chaos in the game, they're basically just cartoon villains - which yes, they are in personality usually, but when one literally goes "we're using your precious cadians as kindling!" i just roll my eyes, space marines shouldn't give a shit about guardsmen unless they're one of the super nice chapters (the lack of friendly fire on guardsmen also makes the battles feel significantly less tactile and chaotic, because I know that if a guardsman is surrounded by nids and I wanna help him, the best strategy is to just throw a grenade at his feet, which is dumb. Keeping your mooks alive should be difficult and feel rewarding in games like this)
In terms of sheer mass, the tyranids feel effective and intimidating, but the psychic-induced cosmic horror elements are completely missing which sucks, and last I checked tyranids could cause chaos forces to turn to dust in real space due to the shadow in the warp so them both showing up for some silly master plan on the part of the thousand sons is extremely bizarre. Also besides generic mentions, tyranid spores and the way they eat you from inside aren't focused on much
Things just feel too egalitarian in the imperium space, the only nasty guys are the inquisition and the mechanicus guys and the mechanicus even have a token nice guy in the form of the magos
But I think the ultimate problem for me is a lack of civilians. I'm not saying it needs to be the Dead Space 2 intro sequence or anything, but these horrible monster alien bugs are here to be killing everything and eating everything, and the deployment of the virus bomb in the first level will kill every human on the planet but it's just not really addressed, and neither are the civvies who'd get nommed
>>
>>98253414 (me)
I think the game is a lot of fun in mechanical terms I just didn't start playing until recently and I always kept hearing about how it fits the 'vibe' of 40k so well and I just think it does a lot of half measures
Also not grit-related, but the timescale of the game being so short is really bizarre. The whole thing just takes place over like 10 days for some reason? Titus being nearly killed and then being primarised and healed in less than 2 days is utterly retarded and nonsensical and they could've literally just had a timeskip. Also sucks as a deathwatch fan to get such a cool outfit but a terribly poor showing, and you'd think the deathwatch would have a ton of lock and key rituals and bureaucracy and shit that would need to be done to get Titus back into the UM but it's not even alluded to

I have now finished a Redemptor to go alongside a Ballistus I finished and posted a few threads ago. He has since gone on to be the star of an 11th edition game, surviving three separate battle rounds on 2 wounds remaining first against a Norn Assimilator and then against a Hive Tyrant w/ tyrant guard. I used Only In Death both rounds and he didn't end up dying in either.
Might have to do a Brutalis now. Can't lie, I feel like going for the bolt rifles over the talons on it.

>>why the fuck did we get three different types of lictor that weren't just variant builds of the same kit?
Have you ever actually built the regular lictor kit? That thing is fucking crazy. It's very specific in how it goes together and without heavy conversion work gives you three poses, but those three poses are completely different betwen each one. They were clearly experiment ing with some kit engineering bullshit when they made it. The Neurolictor and Deathleaper are completely different and much simpler, especially the Neurolictor.

Nta but what do we mean by "cartoon villains"?

When I think of a cartoon villain, I think of silly saturday morning cartoon bad guys polluting the earth because they are Eeeeeviiiillll mwahahaha.
Chaos in warhammer, on the other hand, are power hungry psychos who conquer worlds to sacrifice their population for the favors of gods, who more often than not trick their followers by promising things that were gonna happen anyway.

Champions of chaos don't throw babies on spikes because it's silly, but because they get kick out of it and hope to gain from it.
That sort of behavior is often characterized as "cartoon villainy" despite it being extremely common in our reality.

In short: is it actuall silly or do you find it silly because of how far it goes?

A table top wargame is not going to focus in civilians, anon. They're not the main attraction.
However there are a few BL stories in the HH and 40k featuring the PoV of regular people making a living in these eras that are quite interesting, like pic related.

Ty anon. I got this model way back in 2018, part of the Tooth and Claw box. I was a dumbass kid and built it horribly, left it in my cupboard up until a week ago.
After finishing the Ballistus I pried it apart and did my best at reposing it and fixing up all the little things I had ignored back then. You can still see some of the old mistakes, like a sprue marking not filed down yet on his left shoulder, and the piston missing on his right thigh.

To this day Dawn of War 1 is the only game that depicted civillians in 40K and it sucks that no other game or even the tabletop has tried to depict that.

there are a lot of writers implementing good ideas that would make for an interesting direction, the problem is just that the gw corporate direction will never allow anything that rocks the boat or alters the status quo will be allowed unless it's guaranteed to make a huge fiscal return
>>
>>98253539
the coup by the High Lords of Terra was relegated to a couple of throwaway filler lines in a codex, this is another throwaway filler line in a codex, GW doesn't give a fuck about the Imperium being grimdark anymore, it just adds half-assed lore blurbs about how random Inquisitor #48593 murdered 17 Trillion Innocent Babies trying to kill Guilliman but Guilliman killed him so it's all okay now

>>98253606
On paper. Austists engage in full purge arms race where they make goofy 6 unit armies because purge mirror is kill more.
In actuality, after 5 or so games I've come to believe it doesn't matter nearly as much as GW shills want you to believe, if you kill them they can't score primary.

>>
>>98253563
"These faggots" know enough to tell you that no matter the niche fluff at the side of a page says, nothing fucking happens, there's no great divide in the imperial structure, no brewing civil war, no major excuses for imperium vs imperium matches that haven't been a thing since the early editions.
And now more than ever GW has economic incentives against such developments.
>>
>>98253612
>Not asking if it's actually a good list but more on legality/rules affecting units type of deal
It depends what units you like desu
With SL you can't use Daemon Princes and other Epic Heroes, no vehicles as well. If that's OK with you then yes Daemons is better than CSM and its shitty Battleline tax that almost only favors Nurgle with its 40 point Nurglings.
>>
>>98253503
>What would you replace this unit with to make GK more desirable to play?
Judging by the rest of the comments, we all agree that the model is fine as it is. It does not need to be replaced by anything. You just need to take it and put it in the bin, along with the rest of your Ghey Knights.
>>
>>98253606
What your list is matters much more than some tier list for force dispositions. You can tailor for any of them and have it do really well. For example, I've been playing Tyranids in Vanguard Onslaught and Lictors are so fucking good for the Recon disposition, but they'd be garbage for something like Purge.
>>
>>98253606
purge will probably get better over the course of the edition

Power creep means newer books will be naturally more efficient at killing

Build for purge or practice the missions where you fight purge. That's the best advice.

Have you read the fucking post? The point is NOT that there's no teamkilling at all, but that there's no major growing divide or significant new reason for team killing despite "everything gw has published in decades".

An entirely irrelevant book. About a throwaway lore blurb in a codex. They do it all the time, expanding on something meaningless that was already resolved in the same blurb it was originally mentioned in. They could have made the friction between Guilliman and the High Lords an actual major campaign, something that actually matters, but no, the High Lords were wiped out instantly and replaced with puppets, this once-vital part of the Imperium's power structure relegated to nothing more than background fluff so that Guilliman can be le heckin cool good guy in charge. I fucking hate modern GW lore so much.

Not him and I imagine that will probably work decently well, actually, but can it manage to outlast, and more importantly, outscore a list that's just got to kill you to win the game? I guess time will tell but every gut feeling I have pulls me toward purge being either the best overall disposition if you can get it, or at the very least the easiest disposition to play for how effective it is.

I'd say put the termies into one big unit and have the termie sorc run solo. Lords do more for big units (assuming you have a good strat for them) and solo termie sorcs are actually pretty sweet. They're much harder to screen out (since it's just a single 40mm instead of 6), and they're obnoxiously annoying to actually kill relative to their value thanks to the familiar.

Nothing has come out of any "tease" about an imperial civil war, nothing will come out of any "tease" about an imperial civil war, GW doesn't have the balls for it, and if you think otherwise then you're the one who doesn't know shit.

Nostalgiabait for 2e grogs

>why the fuck did we get three different types of lictor that weren't just variant builds of the same kit?
I don't want to pay $100 USD for a Lictor so I'm glad they didn't.

>for that matter, why the fuck was a good quarter of the wave just lictor variants?
Lictors are cool, full stop.

>why the fuck did they redo genestealers but not the patriarch?
I assume you mean the Broodlord because that one needs a refresh much more badly than the Patriarch, but unfortunately it is still a relatively new kit so GW is not terribly incentivized to redo it.

>why the fuck did they make two new primes but not redo warriors?
This one is a head scratcher for me personally, especially as we had Raveners replaced as well who had a more recent kit than Warriors who have been working off retools of their 3rd edition kit for 20+ years.

>why the fuck did a horsecock gun get added to termagants?
Termagants have had specialist war gear on and off in the rules since their introduction but basically never actually any model bits to represent any of it, so it is nice to finally have something. I don't know what to tell you if you are unsettled by the gross organic gun analogues happening to resemble dicks other than "lol Giger".

>why the fuck was the Red Terror at the ass-end of the edition over the start when it kicks the norn's shit in as a centerpiece?
I mean that's a fairly opinionated statement, I agree that I prefer it over the Norns but they're a bit apples and oranges. The questions I have about the Norns are more along the lines of "why did they feed us bullshit about this kit being the biggest plastic Tyranid kit yet produced when the thing barely weighs in a hair over the Trygon even when standing on the tactical booster chair?"

>>98253768

There is ONE single case where someone actually was mad about Primaris, and it was the only based Black Templars left in the galaxy, who sacrificed their entire crusade to kill the Primaris reinforcements and the Cuckstodes who tried to force it on them. They were the last OGs of the Imperium. Everyone else, even Helbrecht, bent over for the Cuckstodes and Guillyfag's faggot marketing push

>Then why is GW seeding the lore
They are not seeding anything, it's a bullshit throw away line that will be entirely irrelevant. If you expect them to kill Guilliman, a character that has a model they want to keep selling, then you're a retard.

It's a line that is completely meaningless pulp and filler that will never be expanded upon.
Or if it gets expanded upon it's going to be like 30 years from now where none of us will be around to care about it.
