Warhammer suffers from the typical writing problem where people in power actually have good intentions (emperor), people are good actually (Eldar, Tau, human citizens etc) and that everyone who's actually evil is in the opaque middle management (corrupted nobles etc etc)

Basically it's for midwits

They kind of were before the necrons weaponized them. Before getting shoved into their new bodies they were just sentient energy clouds floating around eating star farts. They just kind of did their own thing, not bothering anybody, and would have continued to do so had the necrons not shown them that souls taste better than solar plasma.

If you need another reason not to care, GW are a cartoonishly evil company. I don’t mean Rothschild evil, I mean children’s cartoon mustache twirling villain, like suing cosplayers for dressing as characters or going after YouTubers with a small number of followers for daring make fan animations. They also hate their old fans because they are too difficult to please and they’re trying to fuck with the lore to make it more palatable to the mythical modern audience and their wet dream is a Netflix deal

The Imperium did that and it still can barely fight back all the bullshit in the galaxy trying to genocide all humans.

Flimsy alliances and pinky promises are not going to fucking cut it when shit hits the fan.

Naw. The nids are an entirely neutral party. They just exist to eat and multiply. To call them evil would be like saying whales are evil for eating krill.

>>732255720
The Hive Mind has intelligence, it specifically hates the Blood Angels. Nids aren't just animalistic.
>>
>>732255720
That isn't true at all. One can try to talk up the horrors of digestion, but whales just swallow mouthfuls of krill. Nids murder people horrifically and then drag their corpses to be melted down and turned into more nids. You're basically saying, like, Zombies aren't the 'bad guys' in a Zombie movie when they are obviously an antagonistic force to the good guys.
I get what you mean, but the obvious horror of the Nids makes them impossible to be seen as neutral. You can say they have no malice (even that is arguable with how they're depicted) but ultimately they are still bad for us.

So basically the Imperium is run by a bunch of bimbos

>Zombies aren't the 'bad guys' in a Zombie movie when they are obviously an antagonistic force to the good guys.
They're not. Day of the Dead shows us that the bad guys are fellow man. Zombies are just a thing that exists. They hit good and bad guys alike. Hell, even in Night of the Living Dead, aka the movie that gave America their raging hard on for zombie movies, Harry was the prime antagonist.

He could have told Magnus WHY he should not fuck around with the warp. And also could have given a warning not to listen to any voices from the warp because they are fucking chaos entities.

>>732257552
Depending on what OP meant by “bad guy” (I.e. evil vs how much of a threat) I’d dispute the placement of Nids on your list. If we go by evil then they should probably go near the bottom. Horrifying though their methods may be, the nids are and everything they do are the result of a biological imperative from the hive mind: gather biomass. The sheer horror and pain they bring about isn’t really an active desire to inflict hurt for hurt’s sake, it’s simply an effective way of fulfilling that imperative. If we go by threat then I’d wager they’re about tied with chaos or edge chaos out ever so slightly. Mostly because of chaos being a bunch of self defeating fuckwits, but also because between the whole “what we see entering the galaxy at multiple points may just be scouts” thing and the fact that nids seem to be actively adapting to and creating counters for daemonic shit rather than just avoiding it due to a lack of biomass.

The issue is Magnus, for all of his intelligence, has far too much fucking hubris. If he’d been sat down and warned properly he wouldn’t hear a warning to avoid meddling where he shouldn’t, he’d think he heard a warning that he just needs to be really careful while dabbling in soul destroying psychic phenomena.

It doesn't exactly make the Imperium the worst though when practically every one of the "order" factions of 40k are all totalitarian to varying degrees and how much they crush their citizens individual liberties and freedoms is really dependent on the time of day.
>>
>>732258263
I don't know what he meant, but I defined it on how much unnecessary harm and death they cause upon non corrupting sentient races of the galaxy, not some sense of morality or the reasons behind their actions. By that definition the Deldar would be easily at the top because they're not driven by manipulation or corruption or animalistic instinct, but our of pure love for the game. Imperium after them, then Necrons, nids and orks would go on the amoral box.
>>
>>732259015
>every one of the "order" factions of 40k are all totalitarian to varying degrees
That only applies to the Tau. The Eldar aren't totalitarian, their flaw that they have their heads up their ass in terms of self importance. They let worlds die because their vague ass scrying into the future decides it's necessary to secure some unclear victory.
>>
>>732259015
The Imperium (at least pre Gorillaman) isn't an "order faction". And I don't mean it in the sense that there isn't some AoS Avengers united front or the occasional alliances in Fantasy, but in the sense that they want to exterminate everyone else, Chaos and order factions included. They're about as neutral as the Skaven or Nagash.
Or actually even less, because Nagash hard counters Chaos and a world where he wins is Chaos free, and the Skaven fuck over the big 4 constantly, meanwhile the IoM is extremely tsun for Chaos.
>>
>>732259193
How much is it ever touched on that the Eldar used to have perfect foresight but now it's spotty as hell and in some cases is self-fulfilling but they are too proud and stuck in their ways to admit to themselves their previous ace-in-the-hole is now a massive fucking gamble?

I'm a big fan of Skaven analogies because all the "human supremacist" fan arguments for why the Imperium is based and trad and moral can be flipped to apply to the Skaven. The surface is our birthright, man-thing.

That's not necessarily true. Great Crusade humanity actually had an "approved xenos species" list. The problem with this is that
1) next to no xenos species ever proved peaceful enough to make it to that list and
2) the one species known to have actually been put on said list was better off not encountering the Imperium in the first place given what happened to them.

The astronomican isn't a completely make or break issue. Humanity was using warp travel even before the great crusade and managed to find and settle worlds. Imperium Nihilus can't really make out the light of the astronomican thanks to the great rift but humans stuck there are still travelling via warp.
The bigger issue with the emperor getting up is Magnus' folly tearing wide open and potentially turning earth into an eye of terror.

It used yo be much more of that than it is now (because of imperial bias). Yes short warp travels were possible given "stable" warp regions and short distance, see for example ultramar managing to be a pocket empire during the age of strife. But the great rift blocking the astronomicon should effectively cause mass death in huge parts of imperium nihilus simply by merit of a lot of planets just not getting resources they need in time. Thats not mentionen of course, the chaos invasion or other assorted threats like orks having it easier or the dak eldar having a field day.

All men. Warhammer is now a FEMALE CENTERED fantasy, so expect a lot of BDSM, NTR and God Emperor transferring his essence into a new, female body, becoming the GODDESS EMPRESS OF WOMANKIND.
The last bastions of CHUDDOM are falling like card houses. It's time for you to check your privilege, atone for all your sins against women, including, but not limited to, looking at them when they don't want YOUR WORTHLESS ATTENTION.
Now, be a good boy and go sit in your corner in the basement, play our games and discover the world you've been desperately clinging to changing forever... and for the better. Become part of the change, you can still join the good side of History and support women in all their endeavors, just like your mother would support you - and if she didn't (that's what you think), it's only because you refused her, dashed all over her expectations and failed her as a son, as a man and as a human being.

Listen up, Quaternary. You will start garnering surface level information from YouTube videos and Wiki Dumps LIKE YOU ARE ALREADY DOING.

Once you have a very very basic and surface level education on this shit show you can become a Tertiary and play the video games like Dawn of War, Dorktide, etc.

After you have a somewhat sub-surface level idea of what the fuck is going on consider reading a few books pertaining to events or chapters YOU are interested in. This is how you become a Secondary.

If you truly care enough beyond this point just buy some miniatures and paint them, attempt to play the Table Top with actual fucking rules and wa la, you're Pirmary. The rabbit hole isn't that deep, but there are millions of them.

They already exist and are arguably more numerous than some shit like the Tau, they even have similar properties, corrupting everything arround them to rot and have crude but effective technology that matches the orks in how it pisses the imperium offf.
Too bad GW sucks and won't give them the light of... eh dark of the trash heap.

Just being an ethnicity might work for Imperial guard regiments but it falls flat for Space Marines. That's why Space Wolves are lame as well.

>It started as:
>A tabletop wargame
>With deliberately over-the-top satire
>Built to justify plastic soldiers fighting each other
>The lore came after, to decorate the battles—not to tell a coherent epic. That’s why it feels like a wiki exploded instead of a story unfolding.
>If you’re looking for “beginning middle end,” Warhammer will never give you that.
>Warhammer fans who say “well actually, it’s nuanced” are half-lying.
>The core premise is:
>The universe is so broken that every survival strategy becomes monstrous.
>That’s not morally complex storytelling in the usual sense. It’s cosmic nihilism with factions.
>Warhammer is not a story—it’s a setting generator.
>People like that You can zoom in on one planet, one war, one idiot noble Tell a small, self-contained story And ignore the rest of the universe entirely
>A lot of Warhammer fans don’t engage emotionally at all.
>They like:
>The fake history
>The fake bureaucracy
>The fake logistics
>The sense of an ancient, decaying empire
>It’s closer to Reading about the fall of Rome Or the Byzantine Empire Or WWI military obsession than it is to following characters you love.
>Some people see:
>Gothic cathedral spaceships
>Baroque armor
>Absurd religious authoritarianism
>and their brain goes: hell yeah.
>Warhammer is a universe where:
>Things will not get better
>Hope is irrational
>Progress is impossible
>For some people, that’s strangely comforting. There’s no pressure to believe in anything. You just watch the disaster.
>If you don’t find that cathartic, it just feels exhausting.
>Warhammer isn’t “objectively good storytelling.”
>It’s: A very specific flavor Built for a very specific audience That accidentally became enormous
>Liking it isn’t a mark of sophistication. Disliking it isn’t missing depth.
>It just means you want different things from fiction.

why don't the dark eldar have many units/figs? Int the books you keep hearing about their mad experiments and pain machines (not just pain engines) of horror yet they barely have shit
>>
>>732278841
>Warhammer does have:
>the War in Heaven
>the birth of the Chaos Gods
>the fall of the Eldar
>the Great Crusade
>the Horus Heresy
>On paper, that looks like a clean cosmology.
>The problem is: nobody treats it like that, not even the franchise itself.
>Those events are not treated as:
>a foundation to build forward from
>a story to be understood
>a canon you’re meant to follow
>They’re treated like:
>religious myth
>half-forgotten propaganda
>vibes-only backstory
>In practice, Warhammer operates on:
>“Pick a faction. Pick a tone. Ignore the rest.”
>the setting rewards shallow faction identity more than narrative comprehension. The tabletop and merch ecosystems depend on that reduction.
>this feels like anti-storytelling. Because it kind of is.
>Warhammer is a license playground
>From a developer perspective, it’s absurdly attractive:
>You can tell any genre story
>CRPG (Rogue Trader)
>Horde shooter (Darktide)
>Power fantasy (Space Marine)
>Strategy, tactics, boomer shooter, horror
>You don’t need to advance canon
>You don’t need to worry about endings
>You can kill entire planets without consequences
>Warhammer keeps winning devs and audiences because it:
>doesn’t ask for hope
>doesn’t promise payoff
>doesn’t require understanding
>It’s a permanent apocalypse theme park.
>If you want:
>narrative progression
>ideological friction that matters
>characters whose choices change the world
>it’s reasonable to feel actively repelled by it.
>You don’t get:
>people worth rooting for long-term
>arcs that point toward improvement
>moral growth that matters
>You get:
>tragedy baked in
>inevitability fetishized
>“if only things were worse sooner” energy
>If you want meaning, you’re mostly asked to accept “this is tragic because it is big.”

They were a badly thought out faction that only got real fluff because phil kelly was set loose with no oversight and since then the rest of the team has been "errr, eldar....but evil right? Cool wrap it up lads".

>Star Wars, Halo, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, even Starfinder all share a few things that Warhammer mostly refuses to give you:
>Clear POV characters you can emotionally track
>Ideologies in conflict, not just vibes colliding
>Change over time (empires rise/fall, tech advances, truths are revealed)
>Hope exists, even if it’s fragile or compromised
>Even Cyberpunk—bleak as hell—still believes choices matter. Fallout used to, until it fossilized itself into an aesthetic loop
>Among Warhammer adaptations, Rogue Trader is the least hostile to your tastes because:
>You’re not a Space Marine (thank god)
>You’re not an expendable nobody (Darktide)
>You operate adjacent to Imperial dogma, not inside it
>Diplomacy is possible (rare in 40K, but real here)
>Companions often question the setting with you, not at you
>It still doesn’t evolve the galaxy—but it lets your corner of it breathe.
>If any 40K game could work for you, this is the one.
>Eisenhorn (Dan Abnett)
>This is the gold standard “normal human POV” entry.
>Why it works better:
>One protagonist, followed over time
>Mystery / investigation structure
>Gradual moral corrosion instead of instant cartoon evil
>Less faction brainrot, more character focus
>The real reason devs keep choosing Warhammer
>It’s the anti-Mass Effect:
>No branching canon to respect
>No protagonist to honor
>No future to protect
>Developers can tell contained stories without stepping on sacred ground.
>That makes it irresistible—even if it’s narratively hollow for players like you.

I love the fluff for how orks discovered space travel.

>Gork and Mork were standing around, doing orky things
>then gork (or mork) looked at the moon and decided he wanted to go there
>they jumped, jumped and jumped again but couldn't reach
>in a fit of rage they threw their choppa at the moon
>it flew far and with it being chained to their wrist pulled them along with it
>before they took off they grabbed gork (more mork) and flew to the moon

And the interex aided him in their response. If they were smarter and more diplomatic the heresy wouldn't have happened with Erebus. Instead of being diplomatic they decided to commit suicide by space marine.

why dont dark eldar use spirit stones
are they dumb?
>>
>>732281949
they extend their lives by living in degenerate excess because when they die their souls will go straight to slaneesh. if you purify one, she'll just die and get raped and flayed eternally in tranny hell
>>
>>732278854
Because they are a very poorly supported faction and pretty much always have been. I honestly think they were slated to be squatted, or at least become part of Crafyworld Eldar, only for a sudden jump in popularity in 9th edition to save them.

a lot of people people who get into warhammer get into it via secondary media. Honestly the people who start off in warhammer just by picking up models and playing the tabletop game are probably in the minority
just look up factions you're interested in, find out more about them, etc, play games or read books based on them. If you really like a faction and think they're cool, go buy/print some models for them and paint them even if you're not interested in playing them, it's cool having little dudes of your own
