You're hung up on the quality of other people's posts, which is wannabe jannie behavior.And while I did not suggest that you, yourself, are defending Generals, by your own conduct you clearly are even if you choose to protest otherwise. By your own admission, you view this as a spam thread under some arbitrary definition of spam that doesn't seem to include repeated posting of the same image or text, both of which are unique on this board to this thread; you are treating it less than charitably because you think it was done with dishonest intension, and that it belongs back in the 40k General.You earn no cache with me by claiming that Generals are cancerous, then insisting that this thread belongs in a General because of some superficially milquetoast take that spam is bad; and as far mistaking symptoms for a cause, you literally quote me stating it is a corollary relationship, not a causal relationship.Another victim of Redditard brainrot. Your sense of board identity has been so thoroughly polluted by the ghettoization of discussion caused by - not symptomatic of - Generals that you instinctively rush to defend the status quo even while proclaiming to be against it.

>>97201962I think by and large age of sigmar armies can (very) roughly be divided into 4 categories :>1. Direct successorsYour skaven, seraphon, slaves to darkness... Armies that are basically 1 to 1 updates of older whfb armies, with maybe a slight change in lore (e.g. early aos 'daemons of order' seraphon) or a little shift in aesthetics.>2. Elevated subfactionThese are the type of armies that were previously a subtype of a larger whfb army turned into a full army. Kind of a leftover from the early days of aos, when the webstore was organized in these microfactions with soup tomes. Classic examples are nighthaunt and flesh eaters, spun off from vampires, or gloomspite being the night goblins of old (plus friends). DoK with witch elves and co are another example. All of the chaos monogods too, in a way.>3. Spiritual heirsMaybe not as directly 1 to 1 updates as the direct successors are, but still clearly based on a previously existing army, theme-wise. Lumineth are the posterboy for this one. I think you can count obr as a spiritual successor to tomb kings too, and sylvaneth with wood elves (though in that case more directly connected through models like the dryads or treelords). Helsmiths are this with chorfs imo.>4. The aos 'original'Your stormcast, your idoneth, your kharadron. Armies that are too different from previous factions to really be called successors, though there may be some inspiration here and there obviously.
>>97202065are fyreslayers an elevated subfaction or aos originals? are dawnbringers spiritual successors or aos originals?what about kruleboys and ironjaws?
>>97202065Oh and in addition, it's imo rare for an army to perfectly fit into one archetype. It happens, like with lumineth or skaven, but most are a bit of a borderline case. I already mentioned sylvaneth, which are both the spiritual successors to wood elves, while also going harder into one specific 'subgroup' of welves (the tree people), AND giving their own spin on things (the bugs and spites + revenant aspect). Fyreslayers are similarily obviously a whole army of slayers, yet different enough from normal slayers that they can be considered more of a spiritual heir than a direct successor.Kharadron are unlike (almost) anything we ever saw in whfb, but they do take a lot of inspiration from the higher tech side of old warhammer dwarfs, especially their gyrocopters, although even then they gave it their own spin.
>>97202083>FSsubfaction + spiritual heirs>nu-citiesspiritual heirs or aos orignal, I can see arguments for both>ironjawssubfaction>kruleboyzI would lean towards original but honestly for KB I can see them fitting in all four lolEh fuck it let me just give you the whole list>stormcastoriginal>skavendirectComment too long.

Is Chaos wanking a problem in Warhammer?
>>97192033It's only chaotic because it isn't well written and none of the writers have ever made an attempt to keep it coherent at all.It's quite literally comparable to throwing random shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
>>97174178Probably my least favorite thing about WHFB as a setting. Chaos Wastes are a frozen hellscape full of monsters and constant infighting. Imagine the infant mortality rate and how hard it would be to keep a farm or herd going. You have to survive many years as a marauder before being promoted to chaos warrior. But yeah it can generate vast chaos hordes every few years. Whereas the Empire has good infrastructure and can support massive urban populations. They have cannons and handguns that can fuck up monsters that you can train normal guys to use in a couple months tops.
>>97174178>FantasyBefore ET, "Chaos" wanking wouldn't be problem if the writers knew how to write barbarians (or write in general).Chaos is contained and are only allowed to get out just to "member chaos is le big bad".Just like the dark elves, as many bodies as the plot demands. And still can't even just carve themselves a place in the borders of Kislev because they've been displaced by another tribe and hold it for like 200 years at which point they are ready to take more. At least the dark elves can take Anlec for a decade or two before the high elves take it back.The Vampire counts are what Chaos wish it was: Infinite fodder, powerful elites with superhuman abilities, literally corrupting the land around them and it's a pain to remove it, actually can make gains(Red Duke, Kemmler, Sylvania in general, Neferata..). But Vampire Counts are such a threat that James did the Vampire Wars, looked at it during post nut clarity, saw the vampires were an actually competent evil force and never did anything (good) with it ever again.>40KBlah blah infinite fodder, blah blah Long War, blah blah all according to keikaku (keikaku means plan), blah blah Cadia was a total victory... But they can't win because the setting needs to keep existing so James can make money.. But they'll definitely win, guys.It's the same shit, without the ethnic roots Fantasy has. 40k Chaos is a blob of "le big bad" when they have to contend with Tyranids and Necrons doing pretty much the same thing.>AOSI only know that Archaon is still there and now he has destroyed "entire realities" off screen so at this kind of power level, I don't see how that can be compelling. Can't believe James killed Fantasy to get this sludge of "cool ideas with 0 depth". Yes that's to say I don't know shit about AOS and nor do I really care, but it's James writing Chaos, you know what to expect.
>>97201769>he thinks they herd goats and sheep or even keep farm animals in the chaos wasteslmaobut your point still stands. it's for the same reason elves are a dying race but keep getting into massive battles with heavy casualties
Because as much as people hate it. Every setting needs a punch clock Saturday morning cartoon villain for the good guys to beat over and over.

It's the way your Clan manipulates and twists people around. Fuck, even the Malks who can slap you upside the head with schizophrenia don't wig me out as much as the Roses. I can understand using fear and pain as both punishment and tool to teach, I can understand molding childer into what they need to be to survive the nights ahead of them. But there's something about the way Toreadors make you *want* the manipulation that bothers me, in some ways more than nearly any other Clan.>I'm fucked, aren't I?Yeah, you are. But so is everyone else here. Were all just traumatized monsters aping being people at the end of the night. The ones to be really worried about are the ones who don't even bother trying to be normal.I'm not trying to sound like a shrink, I swear. I've just been reading a book about Kindred psych recently. I still haven't managed to figure out what specifically is wrong with it either, but my best two guesses are that there's what's left of a Malkavian's soul stuck in it, or that whoever wrote the damned thing was just pouring Dementation into it to the point there may as well be part of their soul stuck in it.

>>97201957>Superpowers? Now you're speaking my language.If superpowers took a long, long time and lots of effort to master, yes.

Nice thighs and tats.Yes, definitely her. She's a Potence expert, meaning that she's particularly adept with the superpower consisting of punching things really, really, really hard. Me and my coterie a while ago had to clean out a basement. The entrance to it was locked, because it naturally always is. Romeo, who was with us on that job, proposed letting him charm his way into the building above the basement, look for an extra entrance or two there. I wanted to argue that it'd take a while, but Tats, to refer to her anonymously enough, decided she'd rather get hangry than spend an hour playing investigator or listen to us talk, so she just punched the reinforced metal door clean off of its hinges. The strike pulverized both the hinges and the lock, sent the door flying, and the door itself on its way crumpled a few ghouls before ending up stuck halfway through a concrete wall. >That's why the family bullies those in NY.The principle still applies; while the average thinblood is a nobody worth nothing to anybody, at least some thinbloods are worth something to somebody, and that could turn a night's entertainment into a big headache.
