I know black library gets a lot of hate now but Phil Kelly is quite underrated when it comes to Warhammer lore especially his tau stuff
>>
>>98612391
You did this joke a few weeks ago.
>>
You get better lore from actual BL
>>
>>98612413
Can confirm, What in Hell is Bad has much better writing than Phil Kelly

I think most of the best black library authors are "above mediocre average" at best if that makes sense. You have to have Warhammer 40k context to understand what is going on. I think the best LucasBooks writers for Star Wars EU were good writers and the best books are genuinely good even without Star Wars context.
Maybe they had more incentive to knock the ball out of the park than the writers for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer Aos/Warhammer Fantasy books as they just do it for a paycheck knowing they'll get their pay, keep their roof and food and be able to go back to working on what they really want to.
>arch OP pic
I don't see much similarity in Arch looking like Phil. I don't mind his content. I probably won't like his views, but he has every right to express them as I have the right to disagree. I respect that he seems to own the Horus Heresy books he could sell for a fat payday unless GW does a made to order on those.

What I do find funny about Arch is how rent free he is among "those ones" in the Warhammer following. You know who I'm talking about.
>>
>>98614548
Isn't he making his own 40K like Space King but being serious about it. I saw a video on him showing the art and ideas he doing and have to say. I would fuck with it if he can keep the feel and look of it the same as the concept art.
>>
It's funny how easily Arch triggers people lmao.
>>
>>98614548
The question is; does he own models?
>>
>>98614628
I pretty sure he played not just own and painted some models
>>
>>98614628
why? his lore videos alone shows his passion for the setting
>>
>>98614607
He’s ugly and his voice is annoying
>>
YouTube brainlets who defend arch are clueless the guys a legit narcissistic asshole

Reading some battletech books made me appreciate warhammer books more.

The average self published litrpg book is the same ballpark level of quality as current battletech fiction, it's not even funny.
>>
>>98616830
The old stuff was good, like the Operation Bulldog and FedCom civil war stuff. Then again I read those like 15 years ago so my memory might be bad.
>>
>>98614607
He's a boogeyman for many.
Another Youtuber named 'Asmongold" announced that he was gonna get into Warhammer 40k with some models and some Redditors got scared (a screenshot was posted here of just one post) of him and his fans and there was talk of gatekeeping after years maybe even over a decade of anti-gatekeeping sentiment among Redditors.
>>
>>98622022
The roach king went for nurgle didn't he?
>>
>>98622443
I would actually be upset if he went for anything else. Skaven would be fine too I guess, specifically Pestilens (do they still keep the old clans in AoS?)

it's curious how most people just buy and play a game but for 40k players it has to be this whole quasi religious process where they "get into" the lore (you just fucking read a book) and post on social media all the shit they bought.
>>
>>98623803
>(you just fucking read a book)
bold of you to assume they'll read the book
>>
>>98623803
It's almost like painting models is an artform that you want to show off, and the lore serves as a shibboleth for telling who is in the fandom and who isn't.

If you count this website as social media then I think I am guilty of this.
Except the only book I read was Legend of Sigmar Omnibus and I didn't like it and some actual misspellings at the end left a sour taste in my mouth.
I didn't get through Gaunt's Ghosts. Should have.
The books and codexes are really just sources of inspiration for "lore precedent" if I'm being honest to take and use for one's dudes. That's about it from my perspective.

Black? BLACK? DID YOU JUST SAY BLACK?!

IT"S AFRICAN AMERICAN LIBRARY YOU RACIST

>>98623737
It fits him lol.
>>
>>98615240
The usual accusations of him range from
>He's a neo nazi
>He's a racist fascist
>He hates women

Both of which is completely overblown retarded accusations based on a few out of context edgy jokes from his discord 10+ years ago. But reddit hiveminders repeat it ad nauseum case they're dumb

Nobody gives a shit if he's a narcissistic asshole
>>
>>98615240
>Reddit told me to hate this guy but have nothing to hate him other then clear jokes and he calls out companies for being woke and gay.

So what makes him a nazi? He doesn't like fags and activists taking over IPs and burning them to the ground trying to use them as a soapbox? I mean look at what they done to Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel and DC. You going to tell me they help rise that IP or even keep it at the same level? No we know they shit the bed so hard people don't see them as sure fire hits. Hell, it's not even just them too. We seen it with like anything that when full woke and gay
>>
>>98624186
Knowing lore may be the shibboleth for the fandom, the models are the shibboleth for the hobby.
Those who are into 40k for just the lore should be flayed alive.
>>

just start sucking dick if youre that much into it, no need for all that "uhh i think its just a misunderstanding!! i think soros is behind the hate" blabla.

if you want infos about him, let me introduce you to the search engine capabilities of the internets. you used those. you found results and thought "lets try to rebrand him as just le hecking edge-joker". its a clear cut case
>>
>>98631282
Explain how it's a clear cut case, do you have an actual argument or are you just a hater?
>>
>>98614883
His passion for reading the wiki maybe
>>
>>98631282
>I hate this guy.
>Why?
>Cause he a nazi.
>Why do you say he is a nazi.
>You must be gay for him for defending him

Dude it's clear as fucking day you just have a fucking hate boner for him. Or read that classic liberal book "Everyone I disagree with is a nazi."

Give us more than some edgy online jokes. Or someone saying he is, or everyone going to assume that you're just some lying fag. You can't get away with this gay ass shit anymore and expect anyone to believe you.
>>

shalom

>>98614607
A big part of not annoying people with your mere existence is to not have an annoying voice, or if you do to not record yourself speaking and sharing it with the world.
>>
sorry but the only parts of 40k lore that matter are the imperium and chaos, everything else is pointless, especially tau
