Man… if even half of this is true, this WH40K series is going to be absolutely legendary.Cavill clearly learned from what happened with The Witcher and now he’s taking ZERO chances with the lore. Finally feels like we’ve got someone at the helm who actually respects the universe instead of “modernizing” it.
No man can guard anything with hands that small.
>>220897574Lorebros... I feel so protected by Cavill's huge manly hands...
This shit is a pretty desperate marketing campaign.
>>220898024i don’t think anyone at amazon is this clever
>>220897574I dont visit reddit, but are these being posted there first, or here?
>>220897574I like Henry a lot bit this seems like total bullshit.
>>220900220I heard Henry Cavill RAPED Jeff Bezos in a debate about who was the best Primarch.
>>220900406primarchwank ruined this franchise. I hate GW so much for bringing them back and ruining all discussion about 40k forever. >No Magnus had the biggest dick>No Horus>No Guillemanever since they wrote 100 horus heresy books that’s all anyones talked about. total slop
>>220900466I dont like that they gendered Necrons. Now theirs mencrons and femcrons. Im sorta alright with them having personalities but I preferred them as terminators
This is a better Lex Luthor battle than Batman v Suoerman.
>>220897574WH40k is gayand the fact amazon is trying to flip the netflix witcher issue on its head with this wh40k/cavill involvement is gay tooand inb4 >you are gayI'm only bi
>>220900549Anon it was a living breathing species of flesh once, and the whole necron dynasty is about them being old and senile and sometimes forgetting they're even robots anymore. I mean they're all stamped-out mass produce egyptian space terminators now, but its nothing egregious.
>>220897574This reads like AI slop youtube content>the hero was humble and concerned>the villain was bad and mean>the hero triumphed over the villain by being better and was also humble
>>220900614It was better when they were soulless automata except a few notable examples like trazyn. I got a few audible laughs when reading one of the trazyn books (unless it was cawls book?) Where he really, really wanted to steal abaddon, had a deathmark shoot him in the head with a fucking neural flaying gauss round and made abaddon black out and shit his suit.God damn, do I ever love me some whacky necron hijinks.
>>220897574I'm fairly certain Cavill could create an actual army.
>>220900700Presumably you've read the infinite and divine, right? If you want necron schenanigans it doesn't get much better. In the latest cawl books its revealed he has a necron waifu he had stolen from some inquisitors in storage that he takes out once in a while to play chess with and try to convince her to help him figure out the necron pylon tech so he can stabilize space.
My autistic friend told me that the Emperor of Man and the emphasis on humanity killed 40k lore because every other faction was nerfed and turned into parodies of themselves to make the human factions seem better since they're everyone's self inserts. Is he right? I know nothing about 40k but he ranted about it to me for an hour straight while we were playing unrelated video games.
>>220897574>implying Bezos isnt a lorefag
>>220897574This looks like Indian AIslop.
>>220900776I have read the infinite and the divine and I loved it.Is there any other good necron books out there?I forget the name of it but I read one where a princeling was exiled onto a planet and was fighting off orks only to realize the orks were running from a massive human cleansing armada. It was alright.Not nearly as fun as Inf & Div though.
Cavill is a true Chad based a true WH40K fan
>>220900878he just described the whole space marine 2 player base so yeah that is basically correct
>>220897574OP is a lying nigger, ban this faggot and his fake news. Cavill will get buckbroken by the marxist karens demanding he make most of the cast a bunch of ugly brown tranny niggers, he is but one man.
>>220900945Twice Dead king is pretty good, definitely not the same kind of tone though, its pretty brutal and metal. >you are sentenced to... EXCORIATION!!!!!My favorite part about the necrons is how they're kind of tragic because of how fuck they really are, even if they 'win' they'll just eventually go senile or turn into flayers, and this is what they gave up literally everything for.
>>220900406but there is no debate, Sanguinius wins every time. Even fucking Horus admitted it multiple times in lore. He's the best. There is plenty of argument over who is the SECOND best primarch though, especially pre-heresy. Lion vs Horus, Fulgrim vs Khan etc.>>220900549please ignore the boomer-tards who think newcrons are bad lore, these people will never admit anything or concede ground. Oldcrons were boring and stale, newcrons kept the good elements and introduced far better lore, cope.Pic rel, the problems began in 2016, and the terminal case of pozz was discovered around 2019/2020. Newcrons is some of the most cool lore out there.
>>220900945find a big megaupload/torrent of 40k novels, and you can find a bunch of short stories about trazyn that are good.>>220900878your friend is a retard that points at a symptom and considers it the problem.There is nothing wrong with human-centric lore, there is a big problem in that the consumer base just doesn't seem to care about the xeno factions much, its 95-5%, and GW don't care enough to try to change it with more funding, more lore+books, cheaper models perhaps, etc. Its just mismanagement.
>>220897574This ongoing attempt to make it cringy is well noted, why are you so upset this is being made?
>>220900878Your 'autistic friend' is imaginary and you are a faggot, that is all
>>220901059>No Debate This is a lie.
>>220900776his most recent book was pretty fun and interesting, although theres far too many boring recurring characters that get forced these days.Theres like ~4 different Primaris-born marines from Cawls lab that have identical personalities, but the authors don't realise it.They need to bring back Lukas the trickster. Retcon his funny, but stupid story about tricking magnus (its funny, but the entire story hinges on Magnus, the objectively most intelligent daemon primarch, being retarded), and make new stuff with him, for example.
>>220901146shut the fuck up, your schizo-twins were the lamest primarchs in the end. Legion was a great book though.https://youtu.be/MtZYq2BVVjM?si=GR6xBToz2oIvLpaVbehold his glory.
>hurrdurr muh lore.Wk40k lore is adolescent, convoluted and frankly ridiculous. And the autists that take it seriously will never be satisfied and will reeeee and sperg because autists gonna be autists (like when any wh40k autists debate lore). Massive flop imminent.
>>220901041Twice dead king! That was it. I still liked it but Inf & Div reminded me of The Odd Couple or Grumpy Old Men if they were terminator with godlike powers.>Trazyn! When they look in the trunk they'll find your broken, beaten, mangled, smashed up body in the event we dont go back and find mY FUCKING SUITCASE!https://youtu.be/7DjzvRGV2xk?si=NLtbPEBSHeBXdJMcI love it hahahah
>>220901168I just think they're neat!
>>220901242NTAI like them too. The CIA is a really fun legion.
>>220901153Alpha Primus is just grumpy and mad@dad. Otherwise it was just Decimus and that space wolf guy, those were my least favorite parts of the book though. At least the gene father book was split nicely bewtween Cawl going on trial and saying "Fuck yeah I did it... and I'm gonna do it again!" and then the second half being him and Bile seeing who can be the hammier mad scientist.
>>220901358Fabious Bile is so unbelievably fun. I love him. Trazyn tier levels of fucking with people. Man, I wish they'd make more Ciaphas Cain books. Those are always good too.
>>220898024I already got an amazon account. I'll just torrent if it ends up being good and I want to avoid commercials.
>>220901463Cain was great but the joke's worn out, he's run out of stories to tell as an aging baseline human.They need to invent some other character, but all new characters seem to be either;>boring, stoic primaris marines with bland personalities, who never get overly emotional and do something crazy>woke girlbosses who are absurdly capable in a way that breaks immersion almost instantly.The author who did the OG bile books got shitcanned by JanetWokeshop years ago i heard, which is a crying shame as Bile was 100% underutilised in lore.
>>220897574>>220897942>>220898002Samefag.
>>220901096>its 95-5%that’s complete BS. the new edition is orks and it’s sold out everywhere. GW literally just doesn’t make and sell enough xenos models. there are models in the eldar and drukhari lineups that have sat there unchanged for more than 20 years, yeah no shit nobody wants to buy them.
OH LOREOH LORE DEM HAMMA'S OF WAR
>>220901551>The author who did the OG bile books got shitcanned by JanetWokeshop years agoFuck off. Really?? Thats such bullshit!How fucking gay.
>>220901584this isn't /tg/, nobody cares m8. To be fair i wasn't clear about the 95-5. Thats the consumer purchasing ratio is the problem, eldar, tau, SoB all need entire new ranges, and who says you need new codexes to do that? just make new, higher quality models, its not hard for GW.
>>220901704you think thats bad, check out all the pitches he-Josh Reynolds TRIED to get running with GW but those fuckwits said no to;Here is the complete list of rejected pitches as shared from that thread:>Blood Bowl short story: Blood Bowl version of The Longest Yard.

>>220901932
>>220901899>>220901912Why would they not do any of these?Im not even an AoS fan but that still sounded fun, Manny fucking around and finding out all with big bone daddy whispering hateful promises in his ear lolWhat the fuck is wrong with GW? Its like they're allergic to making money.
>>220902240>40K story: Fabius Bile and co. capture a Genestealer Patriarch for research purposes. Things go… poorly.And>40K story: Mercenaries in Commorragh rob a minor Kabal’s fortress. Like The Wild Bunch, but with aeldari, human and xenos criminals taking on drukhari.Sounds the most intriguing to me*The others seem great also, the Blood Bowl one and Grimmgores rise to power sound great also. Like, its like free money and they told him to fuck off. Why?
>>220901899>Mannfred Von Carstein, Agent of N.A.G.A.S.H.Fund this imediatly. I didn't even ready beyond the title
>>220901899>WHF story: Ghorros Warhoof drunkenly defeats a challenger, and is approached by Archaon to join his forces. Ghorros implies Archaon is his illegitimate son, leading to a fight.god fucking damnit GW of course you turned down the only good Beastmen story that would ever have been written
