Its not that everyone be white or male, its that I dont want to have my grizzeled veteran commander be a fucking black woman, or have dredds and cornrows. That is not what I think of when I think of "high command in a military industrial machine". They can be black, sure, but make them cool for fuck sake, not "Im a white guy, listen to black people music and will design a character based on what I think black people like" kind of cool. And when its a woman its just eye rolling.

In Darktide they added a female commissar, and it highlights the biggest problem in my opinion with doing this, at least in regards to the games. The female voice actors are fucking awful compared to the male ones, by a wide margin, theyre in a different fucking galaxy. Every time. The male VAs are shredding their throats with their lines and giving it their all, they sell the situations they are in and that they are in the military, the female VAs sound like a 12 year old doing their tough guy voice and sound like they are incapable of giving a war cry let alone deliver lines that sound desperate or involved. I dont want my fucking army commanders dialogue to be a woman half assing their fucking lines in a Warhammer game, when I think of Warhammer I think of someone whos voice is the result of gargling rocks while chainsmoking, not someone who sounds like they got their McDonalds order wrong and has pulled out their camera to record, where the louder they get the higher their pitch gets.

The betrayal is irredeemable. "Oh the DE fag who has a 99.999% of lying and having sadistic intent MIGHT have information about how my already dead friends MIGHT have died. Yeah im thinking Ill betray a Rogue Trader and his entire retinue of Imperial agents who by some miracle have considered diplomacy and mutual cooperation in this exceptionally rare circumstance"

If the betrayal was at least related to something mildly important, perhaps retrieving the soul stones of several Farseers and came with some dialogue about "the darkie cunt is up to some shit for sure" maybe but as its written you would have to be the most cucked and retarded human in the universe to let her live.

A turn based strategy game has all the factions that matter and is still getting pretty consistent updates in content and balance. Just play Gladius if you want as many factions in a 40k strategy game that also bothers to make them mechanically different.

Good luck with that. They could've even used the alien auxiliaries to fill that gap or just have the Tau bite the bullet and except that melee combat is something they have to train and account for. They have the Breacher Fire Warriors basically being WW1 American soldiers with shotguns, might as well just give them specialized melee Tau with katanas or spears tipped with explosives and make them Imperial era Japanese conscripts.

It's a 4X game that heavily emphasizes the extermination, exploration, and exploitation but there's no diplomacy at all. Slytherins follow up original IP game ZEPHON is more traditional 4X if that's what you want. I don't like it as much as Gladius, as the faction leaders can pick and choose from any of the base 3 unit subtypes of human, cyber, and Voice so the leader only gives you a quick boost to one of those types as well as a faction wide buff that they straight lifted from the unique mechanics the 40k races had as their big gimmick.

As for Gladius? I like it well enough, you can have big ass battles with armies as per usual, and the factions theme and playstyle was translated well enough into the game. For Tau you want lots of little cities producing units who all benefit from layers of overwatch smacking a bitch to pieces as well as free drone units to take hits for your important units and hit things with markerlights to also make said important units hit harder. You still have flimsy ass units that fold under any kind of melee pressure and their best units still need support from heroes to get the best results, but I'd say it's basically how you'd expect Tau to play in a turn based strategy rendition of 40k. Same for all the other factions. Play IG if you like cheap disposable infantry with powerful tanks and a great end game. Play Space Marines to have the best heavy infantry with supportive vehicles but only 1 city. Or go Ork because you like to snowball from fighting which gives you more resources to get more Orks to keep fighting to get even more resources for even more powerful Ork units.

Imperial Guard probably. Will depend on what they actually play like of course. I like factions which let you build a huge empire with a strong economy and then make huge amounts of armies. They will hopefully also have cool tanks and artillery and shit. Feels like the IG is the only faction which might enable that sort of style.

In so called meantime - how good is Battlesector? I heard that it's "Sanctus Reach done right" and I enjoyed that other game up to some point, despite it being quite, forgive me to say this word, "janky" and often annoying (had to gave up when faced with mission in second campaign where I was supposed to fight yet another large orks force but this time with forces split in two and being denied access to most ranged units and instead having to veeeeery slowly advance with those few allowed, while keeping all those allowed melee in the back or have them being slaughtered).

Imagine if Spartans were a completely separate and self-governing force from the UNSC that had obligations to help defend Earth and were frequently compelled to, but anything beyond that is entirely up to their discretion.
Iron Hands are a good example of a Chapter that no Guard regiment wants to see, since those dudes will wipe out half a Guard regiment just on the basis that the Hands had to show up to finish whatever battle was going on.
>>
>>730861942
The sheer scale of the setting allows for them to both function as their own independent militaries, and due to differences in their function and the fact that a good number of Space Marines view default humans as an inferior waste of their time, they both usually keep to themselves. Different tools for different jobs.
>>
>>730861942
Lore wise they generally are. Unlike Spartans space marines chapters are autonomous and not formally subject to others orders but the vast majority are only 1000 strong so in most large scale operations they have to conclude pacts and alliances with IG generals and war masters and will act as spec ops / shock troops for big guard formations.

It's only true if you consider all of the guardsmen as cadia, but in a strategy game, it could include IG that are first and foremost loyal to their planet and immediate lord-generals while space marines are completely autonomous that swear loyalty only to the emperor and their chapter. If their objectives come heavily against other loyalists, they will not hesitate to come into blows.

Not really. Building and painting the models is mostly a separate hobby from playing the game. That's also why there's so many players using unpainted armies.

>>730864707
I think they learned from Fantasy that including Chaos is a problem because of how splintered their roster is, so its better not to have them as a starting faction. CA can easily nickle and dime players to have CSM and then Death Guard, Thousand Sons, Emperors Children and World Eaters separate.

Imperial artillery can't HIT Eldar, so that range 'advantage' means jack shit. You'll get one barrage that'll harmless land where the Eldar were ten seconds ago, then a Falcon full of Fire Dragons will drop in behind your artillery and obliterate it in seconds.
By the time you've rotated your Guardsmen around the Eldar infantry will be on them, which will only ever result in a ton of dead IG. Your armor won't matter for shit since Fire Prisms DO out-range your Russ and Dorn tanks, and unlike IG tanks Prisms can fire accurately in the move.

Eldar don't like humans not only because they see them as inferior but also because they believe humans are ruled by their emotions, which is what caused the fall of the their empire and they believe humanity is gonna end up the same way. They have a massive chip on their shoulder. Craftworlders are like eldar mormons who are forced to live ascetic lives or else slaanesh murderrapes their souls.

That's probably Noldorfag's fault. He thinks he's an authority on Eldar since they have pointy ears, and he despises the fact that Eldar aren't as hyper-xenophobic as he wants them to be.

Before the Great Crusade there were at least two instances of Eldar and Humans cohabitating on Maiden worlds, and in one of those the Eldar were even protecting the Humans from Dark Eldar raiders.

You could say that Slaanesh legally owns all eldar souls and they try different tricks to weasel out of the agreement.
There's no seduction or corruption needed, Slaanesh just eats them, they can't worship Khorne or whatever because the moment they're vulnerable they get gobbled.

Nigga reread what you posted. They still dislike humans, it’s just that humans are simply the most tolerable option to live alongside when the other options are planet devouring locusts, hyper violent hooligans who need fighting to survive, space communists, and a species of spooky space skeletons they were literally created to fight. That’s not a lack of hatred, that’s hating other things slightly more. He even considers lamenting killing humans ridiculous at the end of the paragraph.

I’m really fucking tired of this narrative. Vulkan was a nice guy and all, arguably one of the most empathetic of his brothers (barring pre-nail Angron perhaps) but he was still a living siege engine designed to conquer planets and he executed that task with the same ruthless efficiency his brothers did.

>>730866826
>He even considers lamenting killing humans ridiculous at the end of the paragraph.
It's ridiculous because he's technically not going to be the one doing the killing, his War Mask is. Eldar typically don't enjoy violence and have to mentally separate the emotions and memories of combat from their regular lives. Aspect Warriors, being the dedicated military, take this a step further and develop an entire alter ego that they utilize when going into combat, essentially becoming wholly different people who bear the stress. It's 'ridiculous' for him to wonder what killing a Human will be like because he's literally not going to remember it.
Another character in the trilogy sees Human civilians (including children) get killed without mental protection and it immediately sends her into shock and depression.

Eldar were literally bred for war.
It's not whether they enjoy violence or not, the mask helps them detach themselves emotionaly so Slaanesh doesn't eat them.

Eldar existed before the War In Heaven, they were merely uplifted to act as conduits for the Eldar Gods to combat the C'tan.
Also, the Eldar ruled the galaxy for sixty million years and were happy to share it with other species who didn't default to violence.
Even when DAOT Humanity was trying to conquer and take everything around them the Eldar just brushed that off as Humans being immature, and let it continue where there weren't already Eldar settlements.

That's the actual reason. The notion that Eldar don't enjoy violence is pure bs and nothing in the codexes supports that assertment. Due to the way their emotions work, without control of the war masks, the Eldar can get fucking addicted to warfare and killing. Just look at the Dark Eldar, that is what Eldar that forgo controlling of their emotions end up like eventually. Even the war masks isn't a foolproof way of shielding their actual psyche because Exarchs are a thing and they are eldar who have become wholly consumed by their warrior alter ego of the war mask.

The Eldar are a race of genetically engineered psychic warriors that were created to wage galaxy wide war against the Necrons, just like the Orks were.

Yeah, they were uplifted to fight in said war.
Corsairs exist because Eldar actually like going on adventures, explore the universe and kill shit for the sake of it. Same with rangers.
Eldar are highly emotional being, so sadness and depression can hit them hard. But that goes in both ways. They can also feel intense amounts of wrath and aggression.
Yes, you get mopey Craftworld Eldar, but then you also get Biel-Tan (RIP) being this floating hornet nest of pure aggression.

And yes, they wouldn't have Khaine as one of their main gods if there wasn't this side of their psyche.
>>
>>730867675
>>730867331
I think the real reason is there would be thematic overlap if Eldar were prone to being Khornites instead of Slaanesh squad. Would just undercut the theming.
>>
>>730867560
One of the main reasons for the Eldar decline is that they were so good at warfare that they faced no challanges to their rule in the sixty million years of their rule. Them enjoying warfare and combat doesn't mean that they are genocidal. The petty lesser races living under their shadow posed zero threat to the pre-fall Eldar because they hab basically mastered the entire galaxy at that point. There is a reason why the webway reaches every corner of the galaxy and why eldar maiden worlds can be found on the other fucking side of the galaxy from the Eye of Terror which was the core of the Eldar empire.
>>
>>730867638
Almost pure psychic. To reliably use it a Human would themselves need to be a psyker.
Further than that, all of their tech is made out of material(s) conjured from the Warp, making it inherently psychic-sensitive.
>>730867675
>Due to the way their emotions work, without control of the war masks, the Eldar can get fucking addicted to warfare and killing.
That's literally Khaine whispering in the back of their heads that they should stop trying to survive and just go out in a violent blaze of 'glory'. The Masks are meant to counteract KHAINE, not Slaanesh. The Path System is what they use to keep Slaanesh's influence out, which is just "Don't be a perfectionist, try new things"

>>730867854
Nigga Aspect Warriors are part of the the path system. They are literally taking on aspects of Khaine when they don a war mask of a particular aspect shrine.

>One of the main reasons for the Eldar decline is that they were so good at warfare that they faced no challanges
It's wasn't a lack of challenges, but rather a central lack of feeling. The Eldar Empire itself had descended into mass apathy since they had, essentially, experienced everything. None of them had any drive or goals since they never felt any needs, which allowed Slaanesh to influence them into exceedingly hedonistic practices.
It's why Craftworlders didn't fall into the same problem and thus didn't contribute to birthing Slaanesh; they were constantly travelling the galaxy and encountering new things. Remember, Craftworlds were TRADE ships before the Fall.
>>730867978
The Warrior Path is specifically there to counteract Khaine's influence, as it's just as dangerous as Slaanesh's for modern Craftworlders. It's why Arhra/Drazhar turned against the other Phoenix Lords, and why Incubi hunt down other Aspect Warriors; they've entirely surrendered to worshipping Khaine for the sake of violence rather than to protect the Eldar race.
>>
>>730868121
Orks get buff partially through their psychic field but the end result is all physical, you could stick one in a null field and they would still twist you into a pretzel. So historically it would be The Beast, and in modern 40k Ghazkull Thraka.

By retconning in female Custodes, making Tau more morally questionable because they were too "good", or re-writing the entire culture of the Necrons, Games Workshop have jumped the shark and eminently demonstrated that they do not care about the internal consistency of their own universe, which could change at any time.

So, lore-wise anything that is genetically optimal exists. So if there's an application for a Lictor to be fistpunchy then it would exist. But actual model-wise they all have to fit a theme, and it can't overlap with 'big flesh brute' Chaos units. So probably not.

Lol no.
DAOT tech is ALMOST comparable to MODERN Eldar and Necron tech, which has decline immensely from their heights.
DAOT Humans would have been casually obliterared by the Eldar Empire if the need or want arose, and the Necrons would have just made the Sol system go supernova from the other side of the galaxy.
Generally, speaking;
Old Ones >= Necrons = Eldar >>> DAOT Humans
Necrons and Eldar basically hit the end of the galactic Tech Tree, just in different directions.
>>
>>730868748
The Emperor also had weapons that could write things out of existence. It was pretty top tier shit.

Even Vect knows that the space clowns could propably murderfuck him if they wanted to. The space clowns however operate on a moral alignment that is fucking bizzarre even to the other eldar (basically following the whims of Ceggorach) so they are quite morally ambivalent to the Dark Eldar and their depravities.

The Emperor's webway gate was a laughable borderline failure, anon. When it finally starts working and Imperial forces get in the Webway the first thing they notice is that there had been signs of Eldar living around where they entered, but they were long gone since the Imperials' arrival was clumsy and loud.
Even then, Sol already had Webway gates nearby meaning an enteance already existed there.

The fuck are you talking about? The Eldar had full mastery of the Webway before the fall and are still the undisputed masters of using it in the contemporary 40k. The issues with the webway they face stem largely from how much the Eldar themselves have been diminished due to the fall, the damage the fall caused in the webway and some level of loss of technological knowhow (and even that isn't wholesale loss, just partial as it is apparent that at least the Dark Eldar know how to weave together new webway pathways and gates given how they keep expanding Commoragh and incorporating subrealms to it).

Because Tau fans are full of faggots who insist on it being, "The only good faction," despite the fact even from their very introduction they were presented as naive, but still bloodthirsty and willing to eliminate any inconvenience to their greater good.

Other eay around. Cegorach's followers went to Earth to view Human entertainment and gave Shakespeare some pointers.

The point is that that can't happen, but hypothetically if the only living beings in the galaxy that existed were ones that had extremely limited Warp sensitivity then the Chaos entities would also be proportionately weaker.

They're concept of the evil in people.

It was the C'tan who tempted the Necrontyr as a direct biblical metaphor, and that fucked everything up and caused the Immaterium to become dangerous and chaotic like how the Devil tempted Eve and they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It's pretty on-the-nose.

The problem is that going to sleep also essentially killed the Necrons. They're crippled as well now, with entire Dynasties being lost and many Lords having gone utterly mad or worse.

I feel like everything creative, not just warhammer, has been raped to death by realism and DEI. Like you can't have some cool thematic character or like vehicle, it has to have women now because obviously most works of fiction can't be explicitly sexist in these times, but that means that these fictional warriors are more DEI than the fucking boardroom that said to include them since "hurr where are the women there are supposed to be women in this world". I'm not sure if you could even make team fortress 2 these days.
>>
>>730871072
Well if you extend the metaphor it wouldn't make any sense for the C'tan to be part of Chaos. If Chaos is the consciousness of living beings and the C'tan are the Devil then since the Devil is a different concept to the evil that people can do then they should be held separate. C'tan would be the evil part of creation which then influenced humanity who then committed the original sin, rather than C'tan being representative of sin itself.
>>

No, anon, they don't. That's their big tragedy; their eventual extinction parallels the Eldar. There's no way back, for either of them.

Not that guy, but this is also why I don't like some of the Dark Eldar lore about how they can manipulate souls. There's shit where they can literally just pluck a soul out of the Warp and put it back in a body to resurrect them, and that shit is just stupid.

Old Eldar literally couldn't die. Being a psyker means your soul is more substantial in the Warp and thus harder to dissipate, which for an innately psychic race means their souls never actually fade. To that end, Eldar who died could sinply refuse to dissipate and jumo into a new body.
Naturally Slaanesh changed that, and the only way to even emulate that is the Dark Eldar torture method
>>730871658
Dark Eldar suppress their psychic nature but they can't just shut tbat part of their soul down.
DEldar souls ARE far less appetizing to Slaanesh that way, but it's still eternal damnation and torment when she gets them.

Games Workshop have utterly ruined WH40k, and by drawing and spreading irreverent hentai art of its most divisive faction, I am merely helping to speed its downfall so that it may be born again. You have ruined this universe and let it go to the dogs, and we are going to fix it for you.

P.S., You cannot overcome the cultural "pressure" of someone like Mossacanabis because, being Korean themselves, their art shows a better understanding of the Asian themes in Tau culture than Games Workshop themselves.

>>730871618
Eldar are inherently psychic race, and at the height of their empire they were basically immortal and could reincarnate. Dark Eldar retain the knowledge of that past and the shit the haemonculi do in order to ressurect fallen Dark Eldar isn't plucking a soul out from warp (because any eldar soul that falls into the warp is just consumed by Slaanesh) instead they "tether" the soul to the physical vessel in a way that persists beyond the vessels death, allowing them to ressurect a dead Dark Eldar warrior as long as part of their body is brought back fast enough. With the soul still clinging to the body, the Haemonculi can regrow the body back and allow the Dark Eldar to be ressurected.

>>730871818
It's not the idea of Perpetuals that I don't like, it's that if Dark Eldar can manipulate souls like that it undercuts so much of the other lore. If they can do that then they can basically do anything and death doesn't matter.

I also think the fake Golden Throne stuff and that storyline is dumb too. I know the High Lords of Terra are supposed to be pretty incapable, but that shit is just retarded.
>>
>>730872216
>If they can do that then they can basically do anything and death doesn't matter.
Problem is that it only works for them, and has EXTREMELY high cost.
Not every DEldar is getting revived, only the upper echelons and their chosen subordinates. Even then a Haemonuclus has to actually get a piece of them, and has to do so fast.

Yes, new Dark Eldar can be born, either as halfborn vat/testube babbies grown at rapid pace by the Haemonculi or in the more traditional way as trueborn. The trueborn Dark Eldar are a priviliged class and usually the offspring of well off and powerful Dark Eldar that have the resources to safely rear their own offspring. The wast majority of Dark Eldar are halfborn testube babies grown in literal vats by the Haemonculi to populate the Dark City.

The ressurection stuff isn't risk free and most Dark Eldar in existence do not get to enjoy that privilige. It is something that the kabalite warriors, wytches and Haemonculi that go out on realspace raids have for themselves, and those Dark Eldar are privilidged class. Real Space raids are shit they do both for entertainment and necessity of capturing slaves. Just being part of a raid is something kabalite warriors fight bitterly for.

Their culture is clearly meant to be a pastiche of pan-Asian themes (e.g., Indian caste system, Confucianism, some elements of esoteric Buddhism), but as with everything, Games Workshop has done a terrible job giving any substance to their culture through depictions of their art, food, music, etc. Mossacannabis is now doing GW's job for them, by imbuing them (particularly through their clothing) with well-grounded Chinese, Korean and Japanese motifs.

Reminder that CA DLCs that expands factions always pairs them up at random so you're going to end up buying DLCs with units you don't care about.

The King and the Warlord. Greenskins and dwarves
Omens of Destruction (Warhammer 3). Greenskins, ogres and khorne
