As a south american im truly glad to be one of the few people in my country with enough funds to be able to afford and play warhammer with a close friends group but which factions should I play to feel properly culturally represented in 40k/Fantasy?>Hard modeNo Crimson Fists
>>96550248For 40k you should play the guard. Use third party resin from Madrobot and AnvilIndustry and eventually make the guard resemble your nation's army a bit if you are dead set on the cultural representation. As for fantasy I'm not sure.
>>96550248Depends on what country. Which is?
>>96550283Brazil...
>>96550446Just play Guard Catachans in 40k and Dark Elves in Fantasy.
>>96550248Lizerdmen feel like a bit of an obvious suggestion
>>96550446Wood elves
>>96550477>mexicas>south american Anon I-
>>96550446Lizardmen obviously
>>96550650What?
>>96550446Salamanders, but they may be too white
>>96550248so it's playing to stereotypes of brazil in online games but it may amuse you, since a lotta the brazilian lads I've known have been aware of the stereotype. It's the whole MMO "brbr huehuehue" thing.there's a warhammer fantasy board game called Chaos in the Old World. Very fun, not particularly balanced in theory but fun in practise. 4 player game, each of you controls one of the 4 ruinous powers. Your goal is to collectively cause the End Times, and to be the one who ruins the world the hardest.The gods play fairly accurately to how you feel like they should - khorne just wants to go wherever other players are and fuck them up, slaanesh wants to go where nobles and heroes are, tzeentch wants to hold a hand full of counterspell dickery and spoil everyone else's fun, nurgle wants to entrench himself where there are lots of people and become hard to remove, and you ignore him until OH FUCK it's too late.The expansion pack is Shadow of the Horned Rat. It adds Skaven as a fifth player. The Skaven have an upgrade that lets them move their skaven rats out of an area that has just been "ruined" into a neighbouring province. This means if the Skaven play their cards right, they can cause a chain reaction of ruinations where nobody sees them coming until suddenly there is a rumbling as all of your clan logs on, the skaven are POURING out of Nosca into the Empire, the Empire is overrun under a tide of "man-things, kill-kill! huehuehue!" and pops, the skaven arrive in Bretonnia and repeat the performance, surfing a wave.Skaven turning up in Chaos in the Old World is like a rolling ball of LatAM players on the US West servers of [insert 2010s MMO here].Now I'm an english tea-drinking sissy so I've got not dog in this fight, but I figured you might find it funny. I don't think this is representative of how they play in tabletop WHFB classic though. It's hard to surprise your opponent by arriving late to the party in a one on one points-balanced wargame.
>>96550248Why the need to collect and play with an army you feel should 'culturally represent' you? Groups I play in, we give each other lists of the models we each have and play whatever army we feel like playing with. Orks one game, Guard another, Eldar the next, etc. Is it a NuD&D thing, where you can only play with models that represent you, or play something that flags to everyone you meet with what your political, social and morale beliefs are? It's just a made up wargame, play what you like and stop attaching your self worth and identity to the products of a fucking toy company.
>>96551008Lizardmemes are beaner-coded, even if in huahueland. There isn't really a faction of Brazilian Mikus and motorcycle armed robbers...unless you count the druchii, I guess.
>>96554096same thing
>>96550248>but which factions should I play to feel properly culturally representedThis feels like bait. Nobody talks like this, and anybody who did care about representing themselves accurately would just read the faction lore to figure it out.
Lizardmen and Estalia
>>96554283Yeah, OP was very transparently angling for "Brazilians are literal skaven" posts, what with the wording and OP pic. Suppose he forgot or didn't even know the lizards existed.
>>96554200They really aren't, except when they're being obnoxious, then they're all Mexicans.
>>96550248Genestealer Cults>illegal ridgebacks sneaking into our Hive World and stealing all our jerbs
>>96550446Definitely Skaven given how so many of you live in those favella ghettos
>>96555286Congratulations, you gave OP what he wanted. The thread is complete.
>>96550248It depends on what aspect of Brazilian culture that you are trying to emphasize.>TauNothing says "Ordem e Progreso" like Tau. It also has the benefit of being relatively younger than other species and incorporating other species. A great choice if you enjoy a "shooty" long-ranged army.>Dark Eldar or Slaanesh Chaos Space MarinesIf you want to lean all the way into the putaria. >OrksBecause Orks are just fun, which is much more important than playing an army that you feel represents your country.>If you play Necromunda, House EscherI have a Brazilian bro who made a House Escher gang led by Bibi Babydoll and including MC Erikah, Bella Angel, etc. It was brilliant and absurd, especially because no one else at our shop knew who any of these people were (we are in Florida, USA).
>>96550248>which factions should I play to feel properly culturally represented in 40k/Fantasy?So you haven't started yet?Best possible recommendation: don't.
>>96553230Holy shit this is biblical. Thanks>>96554741I was! Can't believe my evil schemes got so easily figured out! Also nah the lizardmen aren't even close to native brazilians and I say this as someone super into reading and studying mexica/aztec culture.>>96555559Nice fucking digits. Funny enough my first army was tau though my homebrew had nothing to do with Brazil and I got a EC box as a gift from a close friend, huh pretty on point... Bordering on bait thread aside I was thinking about chaos guard/PDF with homebrew partially inspired by latam military coups except they all turn satanist at the end with just IG rules. I don't really care for the tabletop as much as the models because to be frank it's more a bonus added on top + I think there's like at most 1 non-official/supplied LGS per city here and the one here in Rio is nowhere close to where I live. Also for AoS I just have a couple of random thrown around models I 3D printed with my university's stuff I don't really plan on a full army
