Gamers will look you dead in the eye and say they want to be join and be apart of an empire thats heavily militaristic, ultra-violent, fascist, racist and worships a dead guy.

As opposed to the alternative, which is to be part of a cult of a dark god that's devoted to destroying everything and trapping everyone alive in a maelstrom of insanity?
>>
>>733597024
I don't think anybody who knows anything about the setting would genuinely rather live in the 41st millennium instead of the 3rd
But if you were in the grim dark nightmare future it would be cool to bayonet Eldars and Taus to death for the crime of not being human

but at least they're not racist and have blacks in every single chapter

The galaxy was colonized by Star Trek-style libtards during the Dark Age of Technology, it makes sense that they would have brought pet blacks and browns with them everywhere they went

>>733597024
The alternatives are far worse

So besides the monstrous races like Tyranids, Necrons, Orks, Dark Eldar whats stopping the IOM from just finding some other race thats “peaceful” or can be used as proxy against their enemies? Why dont they go outside the galaxy and colonize new ones?

The Dark Age of Technology was not kumbawa libtardism. They still annihilated countless alien species in their conquest of the stars and practiced extremely authoritarian rule. People just had food replicated for them instead of needing to eat corpse starch.

Most would be "Peaceful" xenos were exterminated millenia ago. The Imperium doesn't believe such a species exists in the long term. Sapient species are mostly exterminated as a matter of course outside of some saved for menageries or Inquisitorial retinues.

>Why don't they go outside the galaxy
Outside of using the Astronomicon to navigate, Warp Travel functions on shifting "Currents" in the Imaterium. The Astronomicon isn't visible outside of the Galaxy, and the ebb and flow of the Warp becomes stagnant past a certain range outside of the Galaxy.

>>733597661
Even if that were true, and it's not and blacks would have long been wiped out or simply edited away with science before humanity reached their peak, then blacks surviving the age of strife, the crusade, the heresy, and the 10,000 years after all that is still completely nonsensical.

Being any form of Nobility is okay-ish as long as you're not a total fuck up or corrupted by Chaos. Any civilized worlds not designated for some meme function by the Administratum like Hiverworld/Agriworld/Forgeworld is okay.

Weirdly enough being born to a Deathworld is passable depending on when it was first colonized, because if you were rediscovered from the Dark Age of Technology or at least very early in the Great Crusade, you were probably genetically designed to survive there and everyone else is fucked if they try to access it or force you to do anything. Still a rough and demanding life but not tedious and souls sucking like the others.

Dark skin != African

The African race from Earth could not survive to the 42nd millennium. Countless outgroups from simple grug racist neighbors to racial supremacist continental/planetary warlords with magical science to daemonic aliens working for dark gods and everything inbetween would just kill them.

Christianity is the main problem I think. That and Europeans are inherently too nice for our own good, so even without the shackles of Christianity we wouldn't have just wiped out India and Africa, but they wouldn't exist in such numbers as they do if not for Christianity and (((capitalism))).

Yeah there is this massive game's workshop store in Japan. The main issue for going for Japan audiences is that Warhammer lacks Moe shit by design, plus most people who are into shit like painting and assembling model's, already have their own home grown stuff like Tamiya.

Why don't the Eldar just leave the Milky Way? They had 60 million years to do so since the birth of Slaanesh.

I honestly think it would be more worthwhile for GW's to target China and other Asian countries than Japan.
You've already got JoyToy that is Chinese which has done a bunch of stop motion animations for GW and there's a growing audience of WH40K fans in China just going by Youtube alone they are ripping off Warhammer+ animations and putting on fan subtitles in Chinese.
I think the big break through was the vidya that have done it making it slightly more appealing there.

I wish this setting was this popular 3-5 years earlier so I could have completely avoided it. its dogshit even if you dont care for dei shit. Dont spend money on it, for the old world or 40k. Im not even gonna speak on the other settings.

Nah. It's entirely superficial. They gave the Dark Angels that naming convention because if not for that they'd just be objectively the best Chapter.

>>733611736
Given it's so far in the future, if they are descended from any group of whites who had been shoved on a planet with the relevant environment, by the time 40k takes place they would naturally bear the features that are most optimal for the environment. Skin color is one of the quickest features to change given we have mummified remains of English and Scandinavion progenitors, and despite reconstructions of the facial physiology still being similar to their descendents, the skin seems much more pigmented and melanistic.

Ultranigger could be your descendant even with zero intermingling with Africans.

You're objectively wrong and cringe about the Necrons.

You are arguably wrong about the Eldar as well, but i mostly agree with you. Them being allies of convenience is a newish thing. Naturally humans don't trust them because they've proven time and time again they will sacrifice hundreds of millions of humans for a few dozen or hundred Eldar. Now of course, looking out for your own kind is understandable, but this is coming from a high and mighty race that feels emotions on depths humans can't comprehend. The fact that they're able to operate as they do is only because they see humans as animals. "Mon-keigh" in their language roughly translates to "those who are to be exterminated."

Lamenters are misery porn but I like to take a more positive view to them; the sacrifice is sort of antithetical to the Grim Derp typical of the setting, they just want to make the galaxy a better place to the point of almost ruining their chapter several times. Plus their Chapter Master is a Cool Guy.
>>
>>733605301
The infinite empire has the right to do to lesser species as they will.

And the Necrons are not monolithic. Different dynasties want different things. They all want to return to organic bodies. Some want to completely scour the other races. Some would be cool with incorporating them. Some just want to fuck around and adventure and fight Tyranids.

That's wrong though. The biggest ongoing civil war among the Necrons is between Imhotek and Szerahk, with Imhotek rejecting any attempts to reverse biotransference because he thinks Szerahk is a fuck up.
