Ten years ago I would've been totally onboard with this, but nowadays I'm of the opinion that chaos should just be chaos. The 3rd ed chaos codex got away with letting every legion feel extremely distinct within the confines of a single codex, why shouldn't the current one do the same? Especially when codex supplements are a thing now.

I agree. If they go all in on that stuff, then they fit in better, more in line with decadent rome or whatever, still that's the more noble outlier in the setting, not really representative of the setting as a whole, DA or BT always fit better.
>>98032158
>>98032144
Def looks more in line. Guardsman at the bottom of pic is an example of adding some more detail to make them fit more, but I'd argue even there he stands out as a lot.

Really though with the grimy super Blanchy stuff, I wonder if that's how most people picture the setting, even if they're thinking of sisters or the inquisition that are most surrounded by the churchly stuff. I think most depictions in other visual media tone that stuff down and meet in the middle, and that's really where the real setting exists most of the time, with the super detailed stuff relegated to a corner that is the chuchly places and factions, but not so elsewhere. You could argue we've never actually seen a civilian sector where the ecclesiarchy is strong though I
guess, more often forge worlds and stuff, still.

Do you think the average 40k fan or BL writer are having these types of images in their heads with disgusting people with candles and cables and medieval clothes everywhere as your average place in the imperium?

I will, but reluctantly and only if I can get a good deal on the rulebook, which is usually possible a few weeks/months afer the box release. I have 0 hopes of this edition being fun, especially since Crudade got squatted. Crusade mitigated some of the problems with 10th, I think. It gave some of /yourdudes/ character and gave you some more options.

No, I truly don't think so given the amount of terrible takes I've seen about how "reasonable" the Imperium should be, or complaining about seemingly insane and "inefficient" things done in-setting, and basically trying to treat it like Star Wars or Halo. Hell, I don't even think most BL authors do either, a lot of them write this version of 40k that seems oppressively mundane, where it's basically a generic space opera science fantasy setting with gothic visuals overlaid on top and tucked into a corner. The exceptions are certain authors like Wraight, Fehervari, Ian Watson (weirdly enough) and...ADB for some reason, despite his reputation. Abnett does it in flashes, but Abnett is really weird in that most of his recommended work just feels more generic, which is probably why it's so beloved - he's a decent writer who writes an at-times very milquetoast and approachable version of 40k, especially in his earliest works (early Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn, Brothers of the Snake) so that appeals to the widest number of people.

8th ed because command points were cumulative from the more battalions you had, there was an active reason to spam min number of troops, IE the loyal 32, or the rusty 17.

There is a difference between footsloggers and no infantry at all like we see in modern 40k.
The only two factions that could pull the all bike list without a single infantry model was marines and eldar. Everyone else had to had infantry at least inside a transport.
Nids needed gants even with cheap carnies.
Even then the all bike armies back then could not do objective mission for example since they could not hold them. You needed an infantry model for that.
4th edition mission for example less than half of the objectives were just killing shit. Most of them for either attacker or defender was some form of holding an objective or doing something.
That people only played Patrol and Meat Grinder is another issue all together.

I'm still convinced that the tournamentfag mentality comes from people that actually wants to play video games but they suck too much ass at them and are too dumb to cheat at them.
So they come to wargames where they can copy paste list and easily cheat. Making they feel like they won at their videogames.

I think when he gets to the theatres of war the ghosts fight in it can get pretty out there, like the horse-face inquisitor, or the entire nobility in the hive city in necropolis (#2) with guys like the governor who talks through his cherubs are very blanche-coded. The actual tanith regiment characters and the place they came from however? Super bland and so secular. I think a problem they often run into in 40k stuff is wanting to treat things completely separate which is what makes it feel so dissonant in modern 40k. If the religious elements of the guard are downplayed constantly, then they start feeling like halo marines or starship troopers, then when a sister of battle or administrator with candles for eyes walks into the room while a halo blueberry is present, it's like not only aesthetically but culturally they differ so much it just becomes too much. Maybe most writers just don't want to or can't write religious guardsmen sincerely. I mean I've never seen them bring out their books and read the hymns or whatever. It's so often reduced to just war cries, which again might account for some of the dissonance felt between the factions that should really be part of the same whole.

>>98032976
You miss the point anon.
Tournamentfag suck at videogames.
So they turn to wargames because it is easier for them.
Using your same example. Pulling a proper vulture micro or a meme 24 scout simultaneous build to troll Artosis is hard.
While simply copy pasting a list from someone else and passing your credit card is way easier.
Cheating? in a video game you'll need some knowledge or access to a cheat program. In 40k? just accidently move further, accidently misremember a stat in your favor. etc
They suck at both but is way easier to win a game in 40k than is to win in starcraft when you suck ass.

Removing FoC is part of the issue. It is catering to the tournamentfags. The people that do not care about wargames.
Older editions even if you copy a list it had so many moving parts that unless it was a very basic list it would be rather hard for the netlister to use it well.
While today? Things are so shrimple that wargame is no longer a simulation, but who can exploit more mechanics.

Doesn't it depend? Like work conditions are gonna suck everywhere, it's 40k, but every agriworld is different. Vogen is planet that's 90% water used to grow algae while others like Rynn's World have normal land crops. I would assume life there is mostly the same as it is in modern day farms that import migrant workers and have them live in shacks for a few months.

>The Imperium is not a gentle custodian of such places. After discovery of a candidate planet, the first fifty years are spent in terraforming according to well-worn Martian procedures. All pre-existing life is scrubbed from the rocks, either by the application of controlled virus-chewers or by timed flame-drops. The atmosphere is regulated, first through the actions of gigantic macro-processors and thereafter by a land-based network of control units, more commonly referred to as command nodes. Weather, as least as generally understood, disappears. Rainfall becomes a matter of controlled timing, governed by satellites in low orbit and kept in line by fleets of dirigibles. The empty landscape is divided up into colossal production zones, each patrolled by crawlers and pest-thopters. Millions of base-level servitors are imported, kept at the very lowest level of cognitive function but bulked up by a ruthless level of muscle-binders.

>Soon after this process completes, EVERY agri world looks exactly the same – a flat, wind-rummaged plain of high-yield crops swaying towards the empty horizon. A person could walk for days and never see a distinctive feature. Not that anyone sane would choose to walk in such places – the industrial fertiliser dumps are so powerful that they turn the air orange and make it impossible to breathe unfiltered. A single growing season exhausts the soil completely, requiring continual delivery of more sprays of nitrates and phosphates, all delivered from the grimy berths of hovering despatch flyers. The entire world is given over to a remorseless monoculture, with orthogonal drainage channels burning with chem-residue and topsoil continually degrading into flimsier and flimsier dust.

>>98033092
>But that doesn’t matter. A planet can be driven like this for thousands of years before it eventually keels over and becomes a death world. The quality of the crops gets steadily worse, but the quantity can be sustained almost indefinitely, assuming that supply lines are maintained and imports remain consistent. At the end of every season, the great harvester leviathans are stoked up and dragged from their pens and let loose on the grey fields, smokestacks belching and tracked undercarriages sinking deep. These massive creatures of high-sided metal and intricate pipework, the smallest of which are a hundred metres long, crawl across the blasted prairies, sucking up every last speck of pallid grain and piping it directly to antiseptic internal hoppers. Feed-landers come down from high flight, dock with the still-trundling leviathans and extract the raw material, from where it is taken into the city-sized processor vats, blasted with antibiotics, smashed, burned, crushed, then stamped and packaged. Once ready for transport, containers are dragged up into orbit aboard swell-bellied landers, ready for transfer to the void-bound mass conveyers, which deliver the refined product to every starving hive world and forge world in their long circuits.

I actually like it when I fce someone bringing an obvious netlist to a tourney because it usually means they didn't build it themselves and 9/10 don't know how to pilot it, which just means an easy win.
Netlists have always been a gay boogey man, I understand stuff like in 7th with people figuring out how to fit the requirements of warcon into 1850pts, or in 8th with the guard brigade/smash cap/castellan list, you have people running pretty good stat check army, but if you just grab a tourney winning list off the net without understanding the meta it was fighting or the mechanics behind it your gonna have a bad time and you'd be better off just making your own list.

>There is a quaint tradition in the various propaganda departmentos of the Administratum of marketing agri worlds as quasi-paradises, free of the squalor and overcrowding of a standard urban station, and full of bucolic ease. Vid-cards are dropped into communal hab-warrens, extolling the virtues of a life lived outdoors with the sun on your back and a ruddy-faced boy or girl – subject to preference – by your side. In reality, life on an agri world is as unrelenting, back-breaking and monotonous as the vast majority of other Imperial vocations. There are no trees laden with glossy fruit, only kilometre after kilometre of hissing corn. There are no gentle strolls under the warming sun, only punishing work details in rad-suits, leaning into the dust-laden winds that howl around the equator with nothing to halt their rampage. Once the new arrivals have made planetfall and found this out, it is too late. Crew transports arrive on agri worlds full and leave empty. There is a saying among the indentured workers – you come for the soil, you end up part of it.

Millennia of indoctrination. That marine has been psycho-indoctrinated to HATE the alien no matter what as a youth, that scribe probably has decades of social programming and probably has implants that sings propaganda hymns into his skull and puffs incense into his nose every five minutes like a febreeze air freshener.

Ah yes, the time Disney, specifically the novel Ashoka, the Galactic Empire forces farming worlds by gunpoint to harvest a particular breed of crop to be used as rations for their troops. The problem? These crops were specifically designed to soak up every bit of nutrients on the planet until it becomes sterile. Meaning that the particular farming world is only capable of harvesting the crops a few times AT BEST before it becomes a sterile death world. Just like 40k should be. Do not question how this works in sustainability or how agriworlds can exist for thousands of years in spite of harvesting this style of crop. It just works.

Any general would prefer to field 1 million special forces operators rather than 1 million regular infantrymen. But the nature of war is that you don't get the ideal best you could wish for.

Could troops be made more fun? Sure.
But troops are a part of war, without troops, without infantry of sort, you're not playing a wargame, you're just larping as "le cool dude with his cool friends".
That's not war. There is no pride, gusto or glory to be had when your entire strategy is putting the best weapons in the best situation.

This is a wargame, or rather used to be. It's not for everyone, not everyone likes proper war. The issue is that it was diluted for niggerfaggots who didn't like wargames in the first place.

If you want to have a relatable/special PoV, for instance a deeply kind/hopeful individual in a fucked, doomed or uncertain universe, why can't it just be an exception? A moment in time that doesn't affect the broader galaxy?

If your characters don't fit the setting and instead demand the setting be adapted to them, why the fuck are you putting them in that setting?

How can you want to put characters in a setting you are not passionate/curious enough about to understand? Just make your own shit. You don't have to care about the fiction if you're just painting minis and playing the game. All of these are separate

>John the hypno-indoctrinated gene-edited frankenstein's monster freak supersoldier who would slaughter civilians in the name of the Emperor without hesitating if ordered to do so by his superior...feeds the homeless!!!

There are unironically thousands of redditors who want 40k to be this. No, scratch that, that IS 40k in their heads.

You can make a miserable world with non-miserable parts, have a planet where the whole thing is torture and slavery, except for the golden city of knowledge where the founding CSM, psykers and whatever remains of the old nobles live in luxury investigating the depths of the warp and sacrificing people in Eyes Wide Shut style parties.

It's never followed beyond little lore blurbs in codices anyway, because it's retarded and doesn't work when you're actually trying to tell a story. 40k meeting in the middle of halo spartans and servitor eat shit for breakfast grimdark is the ideal, we're just leaning too much on the sleak halo sci fi at the moment since primaris and votann were introduced and those god awful APCs with those shiny big rubber wheels that look like they're from the iraq war or something
>>
>>98033336
The primarch age is just as grim as the old stuff, if not grimmer
The actual issue is the enormous influx of illiterate normies whose understanding of the setting is tiktok soundbites and sloptuber content farmers who read off fan wikis.

NTA but if it lasts hundreds of years and could supply Guardsman regiments a long time, then it's oddly more sustainable than systems we have today who'd ruin a place in much less time.

okay that is kind of neat actually. Nice on the surface, unimaginably awful hell just underneath

It feels like so many issues with the game can be traced back to giving vehicles wounds

I mean, tanks have what OC1-3? In practice tanks only hold ground if there's literally no one else around. And now that objectives are area terrain, tanks can't even get inside half of them.
>>
>>98033380
Going back to old Objective Secured where every troop unit automatically won control against non troops might be an idea here.

People will keep self inserting because this is what GW is promoting

There needs to be a rebellion where each side argues their cause is more evil.

>btw instead of human leaders "leading" the imperium as the regime collapses around them and being out of their depth it's now a RELATABLE SUPERHERO PRIMARCH who tries to fix everything and will lead the imperium to a bright and glorious future! Watch as he fights his supervillain brothers and DIES AND COMES BACK TO LIFE as the Avengers theme plays in the background! Eventually they'll all come back and say "Avengers...assemble!" and beat da chaos!!

Yeah man, sure

That moment was to signify Pedro, and the chapter, actually seeing Rynn's world as their home.
They had only relative recently taken the world as the chapter home world, and the majority of the chapter didn't particularly care about the rest of the world besides their chapter keep and the strategic position the world had. Once they're keep was gone they had essentially two paths, fight and die to a man taking revenge on the Orks and leaving the population centres to fend for themselves and burn, or buckle down and defend the people of their world in hopes that relief would arrive and they could rebuild their chapter from the sons of the people they defended.
Stop being irony poisoned and understand that although grimdark settings are generally fucking horrific if you so have some sort of redeeming quality it's just pointless endeavour and you end up with a gay setting like trench crusade.

>who tries to fix everything and will lead the imperium to a bright and glorious future
But they're all failing to. The Imperium is split in half and even Girlyman admits the place is too fucked to save, that everyone should've died by Horus rather than witness the Imperium.
>>
The Grimdark is best represented in the books of nonspace marine factions. But since GW is unintrested in nonsphess muhreens we get those retarded retcons and blurs in Codexes.

Nah Grimdark is just an illusion.
>>
The idea that you're born on Cancer Shithole VIII and like 2 systems over is a fairly normal world which you'll never see, or only see when you're being shipped out to fight as it's being invaded by The Infinite Rape Beasts is grimdark.

Older editions for example tanks only counted for things like quadrants. Not actual objectives like a rescue/salvage or a bunker for example.
The issue is current 40k stop being a wargame (simulation of a conflict) and is closer to a random table top game. Which for some is not a bad thing, but at some point we must stop pretending current 40k is a wargame.

BL and HH ruined everything. Change my mind.

>>98033373
Considering agri-worlds keep pumping out food for millennia says they're not all dry deserts stripped of all nutrients. Agri-worlds that are run like that are no longer agri-worlds. People forget that no matter how retarded the administratum gets, they're not the ones running planets. The Imperium appoints governors to be in charge of a planet, but it's the locals who make it work. All they need to do is worship the Emperor, pay taxes and obey the Lex Imperialis (which rarely bothers with local matters).
>>

didn't he write the Inquisitor longing for Genestealer pussy and Calidus Assassin Voring some kid? And also how at the end of Inquisitor trilogy Emps gets up and returns as a Star Child?

>>98033441
Yeah, they keep telling you this, but what do they show? Oh, that's right. The Emperor wounding a Chaos God and then the Lion comes back, banishes Angron and starts forgiving the Fallen. Yeah, man, sure, grimmer and darker than ever. Fuck Guy Haley.

>>98033454
And none of that is helping the Imperium rebuild anything.
Guilliman himself admits that the galaxy is fucked and he can't save it, and has completely given up any hope at reclaiming the Galactic north.
>>
>>98033297
>um actually you need random shitters or else
Elite units cost more already. The scope of a game of 40k is not the entirety of a war but a very small slice of one.
>>
>>98033476
Nothing about Votann is cool, fag, they failed.
>>
>>98033362
>John the hypno-indoctrinated gene-edited frankenstein's monster freak supersoldier who would slaughter civilians in the name of the Emperor without hesitating if ordered to do so by his superior.
I blame tvtropes for people like this .

>>98033377
>Do you think this really is what GW is always doing with the BL?
Given that BL is the paint scheme on every csm box and is the only csm character who's current actions are allowed to have lasting consequences is Abbadon I'd say so

I agree with the sentence but I don't think this implementation of objective secured changes much in practice. You still need actual boots on the ground if you want to capture objectives. Even two gretchin will capture an objective over a baneblade.

>Imperial Armour
As much as I like the Imperial Armour books and what ForgeWorld was trying to do with them. I think they are overrated by the fans. They're still good books, but fans act like just thinking about the Imperial Armour books increases one's chances of getting a harem of loving tomboys and destroying the webp file format.
>>
Do you have any headcanon explanation for why cultures ape ancient cultures of earth and name their planets after that stuff like misfunctioning STCs or Education material on crashed colonizing space ships burning up to only leaving ten million copies of the poetic Edda on Fenris, causing that to become the basis of their culture?
>>
>>98033475
Yeah except none of that matters
Abaddon is still winning
Angron doesn't stay banished anymore
All of the daemon primarchs are back and carving their own empires out of the galaxy that the Imperium can't do anything about

No, Draco dies and gets his soul eaten by the nascent Star Child in the warp.

How is the Imperium even able to micromanage to create grimdark stuff anyway? I guess overly high Administratum demands but they don't have infinite people to send to planets to ensure everything works. Otherwise insurrections, Chaos Cults, etc would never work. Is there really
>Okay, your planet meets the required tithes, you've followed the rules about sending over psykers, etc. But your planet has insufficient child molestation so we're going to exterminatus you unless you prove to us every newborn is touched by at least a dozen adults.

+1 attack to all:
20 Berzerkers
30 Possessed
30 Raptors
Adding a Prince on foot, and a cultist unit with rhino.
=200 Points
>units with +1 attack gets 10 extra attacks
>in units where they start with 4 attacks, meaning +2.5 models worth in attacks in each unit
>this means I have a free 20 models worth in extra attacks
>they all move 8" or faster before advancing

This is a list I've been mulling for a bit, should I go for it?

>BUT CHAOS!!! BUT CHAOS IS WINNING!!! SEE IT'S STILL GRIMDARK

Marvel superheroes struggling against the darkness isn't grimdark, it's a generic fucking space opera.

This is memelore and doesn't happen, that's why.

>>98033497
Correct. Hence why I mention the quadrants.
I might be mixing things with other games but usually vehicles only counted if no other unit was present.
Any other situation beside that one you needed infantry to do anything regarding an objective.
So meme armies that had nothing but bikes could not play objective base missions.

you can blame SM2 for further popularizing the primaris look and more generic elements of 40k, but they at least got this right, everyone that's in the background is just treated like shit that the marines push out of their way
