>i'm all powerful!
>....but only in my special space
then these fags aren't truly powerful how are they a threat again 40k games should focus on xenos as enemies more
>>
Poseidon's domain is the ocean, but he's still very much a god, even though Zeus would smoke him anywhere outside of the water.
>>
>>743271113
I don't know anon, getting ripped on half by a bloodthirster doesn't sound like my idea of a good time
I do agree though, 40k vidya would be significantly improved with more xenos content
spess muhreen tri should have extended post-story campaigns against every major faction with expanded load outs to prep for each

>i'm all powerful
But the lore never states this, on the contrary there is a ton of shit that counters them. Fabius Bile is straight up damn near immune to their shit simply by confidently saying "i don't believe you're real, fuck outta my face" to the demons.

That being said
>games should focus on xenos as enemies more
Agreed, chaos is way overblown. Nids and Necrons and Orks are a way more immediate threat to everyone.

>>743271985
Read the actual lore, and stop listening to youtubers.
>Fabius Bile is damn near immune to their shit
He weakens lesser Daemons with his athiesm and then literally fucking dies when Slaanesh just LOOKS at him. His heart exploded and his lungs are failing and he is curled over on the ground wracked with agony, dying and through ragged breaths stammers "y-you are not a god" while Slaanesh laughs. She adores his ego, he has no resistance to a Chaos god and at the end of that very book he still gives up and admits to their power to save his own life.

>The lore never calls them all powerful
The lore calls them infinite, endless, multiversal and non-linear all the fucking time. The Emperor himself calls them infinite and admits he cannot beat them in a fight and can only trick them, they each put some fraction of their power into Horus and Horus slapped the Emperor's immortality straight out of him and left him trapped on a cuck chair for 10k years while they rape his empire in front of him. They are meant to be unkillable and insurmountable horrors with no limits to their power, their weakness is their in-fighting and insanity. Their power is absolute.

>Nids, Necrons, and Orks are a way more immediate threat
Chaos literally just split the universe in half and took half the Imperium in one move, doing more damage to the Imperium than Necrons, Nids and Orks combined.

I ain't saying they're the most interesting, most every Xenos faction is more interesting, but Chaos are the main antagonists of the setting and the only antagonists that actually matter. Xenos are just there as a side show to the main show of the Imperium VS Chaos.

The Tyranids are a mistake. At best, they should have combined part of their concept with that of Chaos. Instead, we’ve got this bizarre apocalyptic faction that doesn’t seem all that apocalyptic because they always get btfo in evry fucking fight thanks to some convenient excuse. Their role is already perfectly fulfilled by the Orks and Chaos.

oh was he? Even Nero fucked Poseidon over, with his legions stabbing his precious oceans, while 'Lord of Sea' couldn't do anything, like a little bitch he was

40k sucks.

I agree. Remove all of the organized Chaos factions like CSM and the Chaos gods, make the Warp just a magic dimension that drives you crazy but holds great power, and sometimes shits out daemons, and make the setting about religious humans vs asshole aliens.
>>
>>743273587
Yeah
Anytime I talk to a nid fan they usually just say they like them because of the models or just describe them as an unstoppable force
Really the genestealer cults are more interesting than them
>>
>>743273587
why dont the nids just make 10000000 copies of swarmlord for every battle
>>
>>743271113
>how are they a threat again
you don't know much about the setting do you?
>>
>>743271113
It's true they're pretty weak (as evidenced by the Emperor just deciding to burn down Nurgle's garden and beat the shit out of his champion before threatening him to get back in line) but it's all relative. No one aside from Big E can really touch them and all their conflicts are done by proxy so they're never really in direct danger.
>>
>>743273957
need to consume a gorillion galaxies for the biosmass to make a swarmlord
>>
>>743273957
Because making a swarm lord is expensive and the nids need to stay on budget
>>
Tournament usage (not wins) per faction in 11th so far.
>>
>>743274109
>>743274129
so the points cost is just too high to fit in their army
>>
>>743271113
That's why they aren't technically "gods".. The emperor used to mockingly say that he would be considered a "god" by many under such circumstances.

how are genestealers that unpopular?

The problem is that they cause internal division, an external enemy is easier to fight against.
>>
>>743274213
Pointless stats honestly, anyone who cares enough to go to a tournament will be a metafag and this always skews the numbers for this kinda stuff

Caligula, not Nero

Speaking of nids do we have any more info on the hive fleet that’s growing into an anti chaos fleet?
>>
>>743274552
no, it just exists as a minor piece of fluff like the Overmind that Tiamet is building
>>
>>743271113
uh yeah take away all of america's military/political might and the president is just a guy power has always been dictated by circumstance.

go buy some xenos models and convince others to do the same
GW goes where the money is and that's humanity.

The smurfs will beat them
>but muh armies
wont matter
>you cant just invade the warp
wont matter
>no my traitor primarchs
won't matter, the blueberries will end Chaos
>>743273587
>The Tyranids are a mistake
The smurfs will beat them too and erase that mistake. Space Marine 2 (canonized) proves that only a small number will be needed to crush the hive fleets while the rest deal with the Chaos "gods"
This could have been avoided if anyone bought non-blue plastic, they didn't. This is how it ends. A blue tide washing over the Imperium wiping away all its enemies.
>>
>>743275553
Robby says the three biggest threats to the Imperium are the Necrons, Tyranids, and Chaos. But the Necrons are even more split than the Imperium is, and Chaos can't focus its forces to achieve anything, so it's really the nids.
