Why haven’t 40k fans accepted that 40k lore exists to sell toys like how transformers fans have accepted the “to sell toys” phrase and meme about it?
>>
>>97500049
Change of discussion.
So far
Stu Black, Matt Ward, Phil Kelly, and Andy Clark all said that the main story of 40K is humanity vs Chaos. It always was and will always be that.
The Xenos narratives are secondary to that.

I want to ask, why is Chaos vs the Imperium so important to GW? Why does it take priority over everything else?

Xenos genuinely aren’t interesting. I’d take imperium vs imperium before I try to learn about anything ork related. Technically even gsc are imperium and that’s infinitely more interesting than tyranids alone.

with the exception of the Warsmith, all the iron warriors reveals have been "iron warriors coded" rather than iron warriors- keyword, so iron warriors and washtorr aren't getting a codex, just a "you can take this guy if your army is iron warriors or one of their warbands and here is the only official chaos upgrade sprue since none of the others, even night lords, have a stand alone sprue you don't have ot purchase with anything else".

it's quite simple: 40k fans haven't grown up
sure, 40k might be as old as something like transformers, but 90% of 40k's fanbase has joined in the past decade

people haven't suffered long enough to make that realisation that GW doesn't give a fuck, and they think that, as fans, they have control over things, when in reality all the "control" they have is "GW makes a model of [popular thing] because they know the fans will buy it"

Selling toys is the primary reason it exists. 40k just usually isn't as blatant about it in comparison to transformers, like the time they killed off a ton of the cast in a movie to make way for a new generation toy line.

Not bad lads.
I like the 30k plastic sculpts so far if that counts. Even they deviated from the original resins a bit like the nuMKIII.
But maybe it was because watching LoGH made me like German stuff and the pickelhaube from the nuMKIII looks nice.

If I had to keep it 40k I’d say the sly Marbo and most of the plastic Krieg have been great.
I think GW kind of fumbled the shotguns of the Krieg engineers though.

So what made transformers fans grow up and what keeps 40k fans from growing up beyond what you said about suffering?

I have a sinking feeling that part of 40k’s success was from the failure storytelling wise side of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

30k is great because it appeals to my assertion that Gal Vorbak are WORD BEARERS CODED despite the assertions by anons they should have lots of possessed in their iron warriors or thousand sons-splinter warband that doesn't use the Tsons codex armies (lol).

But with GW alloweding Tsons to use fantasy and age of sigmar models (vortex beast and tzaangors) and cutsodians using 30k vehicles, I wonder why those cunts won't let 40k Tsons use the big psychic robots they have in 30k to make their roster less shitty.

I think 30k sculpts have so far been pretty good precisely because the 30k team has legitimate incentive to produce good sculpts.
GW knows that any and all 40k models will sell well and that AoS is mostly used for converting/kitbashing fodder.

Also what does this “coded” slang mean and where did it come from?

>>97500431
I think 30k models look very ultilitarian compared to 40k models. Like you get the feeling that these are mass produced supersoldiers in a standardized army, instead of religious technobarbarians who take skulls of their enemies as trophies while decking themselves out in the gear of long dead predecessors whose biggest technological upgrade took 10,000 years by their best and oldest scientist to implement.

The armies are simultaneously the same, but couldn't possibly be more different on the spectrum of war.

I think generally the 40k sculpts now are better than the 5th ed 'golden age'
Bladeguard are the best the Space Marines have ever looked, Shaan is the best Marine character, all the new Eldar are great, and the Custodes are a flat upgrade over the old ones. Same with the new Terminators just being flat out better than the old abominations

So the new Warsmith is only 2000 years old which makes sense since Iron Warriors hate mutations and shitand tried to speedline the process of making new CSM with the Daemoncube, but what about the other legions? Alpha Legion probably doesn't have problems with mutation, and Thousand Sons recruit by turning you into a suit of armor with dust inside, but the ones in deep like the Emperor's Children often find their geneseed irreversibly mutated and fabulous bile used to help them but he's doing other shit now somewhere.

I mean I get that, but for all the "battle for humanities soul" stuff, they could do a lot better with more morally ambiguous antagonists, since as it stands right now it's a battle of feudal dickheads (with some good men here and there) vs baby eating psychos (and some formerly good men who are prepared to cross the line to try and accomplish their goals)

The backbone of 40k's lore is the Horus Heresy. Where half the Imperium of Man sold out to the Chaos, while the other half thrives and expand the rule of the Imperium to other worlds, some of which are contested by other Xenos races.

Sisters of battle have huge Void-Cathedrums/Drop-Cathedrals that they drop from orbit as mobile bases. They have tracks as well. Titans also use them for slower insertion but they have their own drop pods called Drop-Vaults that are essentially just a huge box with rockets on the the bottom to slow down the impact. The sides pop off and the titan walks out. They get recovered by the mechanicus later

It's literally mentioned since the 1st Edition: Rogue Trader codex, back in 1987.

>>97500574
Pro Acryl will be better, but white paint in general will always be more difficult to work with regardless of manufacturer. Just the nature of titanium dioxide being a relatively large pigment.

That being said, always use light gray or off-white for any basecoat jobs, they’re far easier to work with and provide definition compared to pure white paint. True white should only be used as a highlight or layer.
>>
>>97500784
Yes, it was mentioned and given as the reason why the Imperium is so shit. The current happenings in the lore were not about primarch wank like nowadays though. You just have to look at how many edition starter boxes had chaos in it to see how xenos are more important to the setting.

“Battle ready” technically requires basing to be done. Slopping on some texture paint would qualify even without shading or highlights. However, outside of official tournaments, there’s nothing stopping you from doing as you please with your models. “Battle ready” standards is just GW marketing.

A model isn't fully complete until its based.
cheapest way is getting some pva glue and sand and painting over it.

About two and a half decades ago there was this guy who used to hang out at the games workshop and play with younger players, he had a really poorly painted dark eldar army and talked all the time about shooting people when he was in the army, Sierra Leone specifically.

If you're looking to get into Tourney-Play, then yes, bases have to be detailed and textured, and the mini themselves painted to be their recognized chapter.

Doesn't have to be "professional" looking, just use "Astrogranite" and puddy over the surface of the base and done...just make some attempt on the bases, you won't win any awards, but you'll be legal.

>Vulkan also completely justified in wiping out all humans as they worshipped the eldar

Every single time the Imperium does some sort of atrocity, they always turn out to be right in the end. Every single time they hesitate or think about showing mercy, they are backstabbed. GW is speaking out of their ass whenever they say that the Imperium are the baddies and that people who think they aren't are missing the point. They have some bad elements, like every regime, but for the most part, they're doing the best in their given circumstances.

Benevolence and empathy simply do not work in 40k. It has been shown time and time again. The Imperium is the only human society that has survived. All others were too weak to resist the many evils in the milky way. 40k is inherently conservative at its core, and that's okay. It's about how differences between races are insurmountable, and that people are inherently wired to destroy those that are different, so better do unto them before they do unto you.

It's no coincidence that most of the Imperium's enemies are left coded as well. Eldar, orks, tau, chaos, nids all embody different left wing ideologies with only crons being right wing. GW should embrace being chudcore and embrace the Imperium being right rather than chastising the fans for not getting their "satire."

Tbf he had a lot of millenial and zoomer followers online in the 2000s-2010s era where internet atheism was popular. Though a lot of that has fizzled. Since you have a lot of people ditching the new atheist anti-religion schtick after their teen or young adult years and became normal atheists (or some even religious), you have people who went more progressive left or became right wing that dislike him now due to his political views and you're left with the classical liberal/libertarian atheist crowd who might follow him. Online his style of thought overall is unpopular nowadays, the anti-religion stuff isn't Dawkins/Hitchens classical liberal style new atheism it's mostly tied to progressive left politics/philosophy.

They aren't communistic or socialist because they are post scarcity, they just have basic needs covered. They try to have extreme discipline via the path system and limit pleasure and try to reign in the strong emotions of their race, they are like an extremely religious order of warrior monks who highly respect their ancestors and their wisdom from the infinity circuits. Most of the Eldar don't wanna move on, but wanna try to restore their fallen civilization, but this time under traditionalist values to not be like Drukhari. They aren't left coded at all.
>suicidally empathetic
buzzword, Eldar will fuck over billions of humans and their own kind sometimes for the interest of their species without a second thought. They just aren't heartlessly cruel, but they still do what needs to be done.
Craftworld Eldar are socially more right wing than he Imperium they have way less heresy, hedonism and degeneracy in their society. And if we bring up the Ynnari they are ok with suicide bombing Slaanesh for the sake of freeing all the souls of their ancestors.

These guys are extremely detatched from leftist ideas, just because they are not needlessly cruel or revel in inflicting pain doesn't mean they are leftists, right wing =/= remorseless murderhobo since by that logic Commies would be right wing.

Once you play the game, and see how bad your army looks on the tabletop, with no base, or all black or whatevs it will inspire you to get some kind of hobby work done. I hate basing sooooo much, so I buy resin ones and paint them. They look great. You can also just buy a technical mud or something and do that for them all easy.

They didnt worship her, but they did found a religion that birthed her. They were the pleasure cults. That word is chosen for a very specific reason, as a cult is a very specific thing in 40k. After the birth of Slannesh, Vect refounded their society in the webway and took an anti Slannesh stance because it hungers for Eldar souls.

The craftworlders are basically Eldar pantheon orthodox worshippers who believe in strict discipline and hated the pleasure cult, and the exodites are the amish.

So I'm thinking of working on a new 'core' for a guard list.
I've got a smattering of things and am re-working the infantry squads but as a good 'base' to work around....

1x Krieg Command Squad
3x 10 man Krieg Infantry (Flamer/Melta) - Move up and help hold objectives
2x 10 man Krieg Infantry (long Las/plasma) - Sit back on own field objective(s)
2x LR Demolisher
2x - 2man Armored sentinel teams

I figure this gives me a solid core to work around so that I can play around with other things like Bulgryn, Hellhounds, etc.

Look the Dark Eldar are the most degenerate faction in 40k and also the most technologically advanced.

Deldar are just in denial about their lives and culture.
And they have to be, because otherwise they would have to admit that they were not only the ones who drove their species into slow extinction, but also the actual faggots who still keep feeding the very parasite they created.

And this is provable by the fact that only the Deldar feel the soul drain.
Craftworlds avoid it and step around it with weaponized autism.
Exos are just farmers and live happy normal lives and their souls are protected by their world spirits.
And the clowns are just fine and hang around with Cegorach.

They're doing that to weed out spergs because they're less competent than normies, not more competent, contrary to what spergs themselves believe.

>>97501626
A video is unreasonable, but they've chosen to push their sperg filter forward. Or maybe they're seeing who's desperate enough to work there so they can pay them less. "Cool" companies usually pay less than "lame" companies just because people want to work there more.

Interviews take company time and resources. The video is an automatic no-cost giga sperg filter, for jobs where they'd get a lot of giga sperg applications they really do need to efficiently filter.

Xenos either aren't as big of a threat or not interesting enough for a big narrative to revolve around like Chaos. Even the worst xenos threats like Orks and Nids that are literally every where and supposedly could destroy the galaxy only become relevant to shill the Imperium. Eldar are so disconnected and unimportant to the rest of the galaxy that the most relevant thing they ever did was bring back Gorillaman, Tau are busy in their own little bubble, Necron are sleepy and struggling to get their shit together, minor xenos only exist within other factions or aren't important.
Meanwhile Chaos is constant, is intertwined with the fate of humanity, it's biggest slaves and worshippers are marines which are the selling point of the franchise, and it can be used as a narrative foil for the Imperiun. I know people know the Imperium is ass but it's undeniable that GW treat the Imperium as the protag faction because it sells.

fact check
The Half-Born was merely a member of a kabal, then killed its leader to become the Archon. Commorragh already existed as a pedo island in the webway for the haemonculi elites who became super-immortal through experimentation. Then the noble houses ruled the dark city and its satellite cities during the early years when the ones who fled into the webway preyed upon humans who were cut off from the wider galaxy due to warp storms, but the webway was unaffected. The Half-Born then fooled the nobles and destroyed the three great houses, establishing the Kabal of the black heart as the strongest non-haemonculi power and the haemonculi agreed to let Vect run the surface of the city as long as he didn't fuck things up and supplied them with the materials they need.

'sea people' exist in china who originated as traders along the coasts of flipland and southeast asia but began speaking chinese to trade with the larger chinese empire. Officially there may be 150 million of them but they are called 'Han' on the census due to the chinese census seeking to put as many people in the han supercategory as possible, but these boat people (who have tended to be forced into apartments by the government) would be close to the seabound cultre separated from their austronesian origins.

Sisters are SUPPOSED to melt. They're a trading army where you have seriously high damage, bolstered further by cheat dice, and where you get more cheat dice by dying.

IG isn't exactly "glass cannon" because it mostly lacks the cannon part. It's also not THAT squishy. It's a horde army. Their units are tougher to kill because there are so fucking many of them. Other proper glass cannons are Eldar, Drukhari, and EC.

Tau are arguable, Nids are absolutely not. They're a control army. They don't have the lethality to be a glass cannon.

Are space marines even in the current universe considered a myth and/or propaganda spook by the average or a considerable amount of imperial citizenry given how scarce the space marines are in numbers compared to the amount of territory the imperium of man has?

>>97502347
none of what you said contradicts what I said. Vect was a nobody until the apocalypse when he led the survivors into the webway and founded the new deldar society. There already being cities in the webway is retardedly obvious. Vect is the one who rebuilt Commoragh into the modern soul thirst slacking economy and obtained enough power to keep the other kabals from wiping out their society through his own political acumen.

They're more common in places that see a lot of combat, so it's not like they're evenly distributed across the entire galaxy. Most worlds are on the peaceful side, relatively speaking (ie. not undergoing constant xenos or chaos incursions) so those places wouldn't be seeing very many Astartes, if at all. 99% of problems can be solved by the Imperial Guard.

chaff does does not mean glass canon. Sisters are somewhere between glass cannon and horde. They arent as fragile as true chaff but don't have the damage of true damage dealers. They can shrug off titan canons about as well as regular lasguns and are very weak to high numbers of attacks.

>>97502775
They are glass canon because they have half the bodies of other similar armies and are high damage. Unlike Custodes who are truly thicc, regular marines die to pretty much everything in the game no matter how much you pump up their damage. Emperors children will kill anything they look at but will also die to anything that looks at them. And the lethality of 40k isn't even that bad right now.

Thank goodness if true.
What is looking to replace it?
>>
>>97502975
>Over the Terran millennia, Commorragh grew from its shrouded beginnings into a galactic nightmare, its expansion driven largely by the machinations of one being, Asdrubael Vect of the Kabal of the Black Heart, who rose from slavery to become the true supreme overlord of the Dark City.

Four thousand standard years after the Fall of the Aeldari, in the time that Mankind calls the 35th Millennium, Commorragh underwent its greatest ordeal since its founding. The slave Asdrubael Vect had risen, through pure guile and murderous ambition, to become the dracon of what he later named the Kabal of the Black Heart, when the elite forces of the Imperium of Man mounted a full-scale invasion of the Dark City.

At that time Vect, the hidden architect of this time of strife intended to cement his own rule, was opposed at all turns by the most influential of the Dark City's noble factions, the Houses Xelian, Kraillach and Yllithian. By the time the Human invaders had been repelled, the powerbases of these houses were in ruins, their archons slain. It was not long before Vect and the more meritocratic Drukhari kabals had replaced them as the source of ultimate power in the Dark City, just as he had planned.

He reformed their entire society to his vision and deposed the nobility and has ruled for 7 thousand years.
>>
>>97502977
Have you ever like...actually read the lore, anon? He was a slave that rose up well after the Dark City was founded and took over. He did not lead anyone into the webway, he did not help build the city, he did not have anything to do with its foundation.

Commoragh is bigger and more populated than any single Craftworld and they're all too fractious to ever unite for a common cause for long. The Craftworlds I mean. Commoragh would unite against invaders like they never would anywhere else. Also, the Harlequins would probably put a stop to it. They're protective of all the different remaining enclaves of the Eldar against each other regardless of lifestyle choices.

He replaced both the nobility and pleasure cults with kabalite power.

Now this seems obvious but surely there's some warpsmith, apothecary, chaos lord, dark mech leader etc trying to combine these two things together.

The triumph of saint Katherine model is really cool, but all it does is walk around 6", can't go in a transport, and it's auras are 6" and none of them do anything particularly amazing. It's 235 points. Am I missing something? Is this a rule of cool model that you know is bad and just take for the art/flavor? Or is making one single miracle dice per round an automatic 6 really worth hundreds of points?

I'm making a 2000 points list and I'm really happy with I have so far and I'm spending the last ~250 points. Celestine seems better in the last slot here if I want an equally cool model that seems better.

Private means it's privately owned vs. government owned. GW is still a British company, Google is a US company, Tencent is a Chinese company, etc. Did you just ignore the part where craftworlds had a home world from which they traveled from on missions and returned to? Like privately owned trading vessels leaving Britain during the age of sails and years later returning to port. Despite spending years away from the empire, they were still British vessels trading for Britain, even when not commissioned by the government.

they were not part of the state, they were private

You're assuming a lot about the eldar if you think their "empire" worked anything like the British or the Imperium.
They were a post scarcity race going down into hedonistic affairs, the mercantile craftworlds were already fully independent for centuries at a time.

Because marine vehicles are already gigantic for a tabletop game. Do you really want a land raider, a tank that can already barely manouver through terrain, to be even bigger?
