>>744238758>defend this with pleasure
>>744239829I like the aesthetic, catholics in space kind of feel.
>>744239208>but a book in a series whose entire theme is subversion say they can fuck all they want
>>744239208sisters of battle can fuck if they wantthey even have kids and send em straight to the schola progenium
My wife
>>744239757i like emthey have big ass tits, they dont have fat people and theyre even more intolerant than the black templars
>>744238758She's not interested in sex. She's interested in killing heretics and xeno scum. Her character is that she's an autistic religious fanatic obsessed with righteous fury to the exclusion of all else. Having her waste time on frivolities like romance would ruin her character. it is a shame that the most sexy female in the party is too autistic to have sex but I like her as she is.At least she didn't offer you sex and then blue ball you, like Nenio
>>744239867The aesthetic is ruined by their hideous faces though.
>>744239757they're a male sexual fantasy

>>744240089gouge vandire to be precisenamed them "brides of the emperor"good man
>>744240065I'm not sure if you're arguing in good faith or not but its the reason I'm holding off until I get significantly more skilled. They're not really a beginner army honestly. Also trying to avoid too bad of a pile of shame
>>744239829I like them too, but that's mostly because I love over the top french medieval catholic aesthetics
I couldn't even finish this woke slop, combat was fun but like with all other Owlcat games you end up following build orders made by minmaxing spergs which make the game too easy cause the leveling/trait system is way too complicated and autistic without giving you an option to fully respec. Also making the strategy minigame 10x longer and more mandatory than previous games when people already hated that shit is truly a galaxy brain move. WOTR was really good but dwarfed by BG3's mocap cutecenes and great full voice acting and that's about all the Owlcat I can handle. Unless they make something like Icewind Dale 3 I dgaf about their next game.
bait used to be believable
>>744240071average stinky transgirl

>>744238758She's wed to The Emperor.
SoB's are not even the hottest girls in the imperium but you simps are not ready for that conversation.Besides, the only good romance option in RT is the Navigator.
>>744240446Not a full respec is available in this game, did you even play it?
>>744240290you can respec, but what you actually need is an auto-level optionI only want to level up my own character, managing all the others is so annoying that it's the main thing stopping me from going back and continuing to play it
>>744239208Try reading some lore and learning about the thing you're talking about you stupid faggot
>>744240782Are you talking about your origins? Because you're either baiting, lying or a retard
There's no hard rule defined in setting, too many Orders with different rules you can homebrew something. I think Cain got with a SOB.That said Gdubs is why you can't romance Argenta, so perhaps there is some inhouse rule yet to be made explicit that all SOB are chaste or disallowed from having intimate relationships.Keep in mind there are many Sororita Orders and roles. Hell there's a type that exists to flush out, spy on and rub shoulders with nobles. It's possible the rules are different for them as they are so far removed from the cloistered monastery battle sister lifestyle. The latter is the real reason many of them aren't getting into relationships.
>>744238758My loneliness - though emphatic and unpleasant - is not profound enough to have developed into any level of desperation to the point where I need a fictional girlfriend to fictionally romance in a fictional story. If you're genuinely disappointed that you can't read a lovey-dovey story between your fictional character and another, you are in greater need of fresh air, sunlight, and a shower than you're aware of.
>>744238758Romances should not be a part of any CRPG game because they are just a waste of rime and resources which is limited.Play VNs for romances or some other shit. CRPGs should be based again
>>744239921sororitas, not battle sisters
>>744242302I love romance in games, every genre, and wish there was more of it.

>>744240193I have no idea how the fuck people do this on dozens/hundreds of tiny ass models.
>>744243230This would've been true in the 90s
>>744239293some sororitas orders do but argenta's does not
>>744243301It can be pretty peaceful painting. I'm kind of hoping that detailing becomes more pleasurable, I've stalled out because its come time to detail my first batch and I think that because I haven't seen the results it seems like a massive timesink. Once they all come together it feels good, but I don't have the experience to really see what the point of spending hours detailing and highlighting actually does.
>>744243301>Come home from work>set up materials on table in front of TV>put something on while painting at a leisurely paceThat's it really. You do it a bit at a time. Don't treat it like work, it's not meant to be something you hate doing. Some people love sitting down and just painting away, others (like me) enjoy it if there's something on in the background.

People keep saying that the reason Owlcat keeps doing stupid gay thing is because the IP holders are twisting their arm.But this(>>744244557) is the actual reason.
>>744241480the lore in question:>brooo look how le ebin and cool and amazing this faction is now buy our overpriced plastic
>>744239208Not only are most orders of Sororitas allowed to fuck at most ranks, and some of them are functionally harems of high ranking Ecclesiarchy or various lords, while a few times in the lore they even functioned as high volume brothels. They (normally) move pregnant sisters to non-combat roles for a while. This is very solidly established, just not commonly understood by modern 40k secondaries as current year Games Workshop is afraid of someone being accidentally aroused by a quarter of a thigh.
>>744243301Assembly line and lowered standards.You don't paint 100 guardsmen like they're display pieces, you prime them, slap the base colors on, wash the whole thing in talent-in-a-bottle, do a couple highlights if you aren't sick of looking at them, then base and move on.The camera and your autism see every mistake, the tabletop at 3 feet away doesn't.
>>744244465I have an audiobook in the background desu
>>744240023Is that really what happens? Everything i hear about this bitch just digs a deeper hole. How could the same people that wrote Cassia create this abomination of a character?
>>744245134Why did GW so afraid of anything sexual in their franchise that contains 2 raper factions?
>>744238758>giving a fuck about romance in video gameskys
>>744239158No, loyalty and stress makes your hair white
>>744245182Honestly I'm just paining for a hobby not for tabletop but I still regret not starting of with slapchop and just letting the technique do the work for me with most of the detail. Its too easy to watch youtube shorts and see these huge looking miniatures but they're pretty small when you get to grips with them. Even when the painting is the hobby I think you want to see results and then refine your own style rather than going for high quality out of the gates
>>744238758would you really want to romance a religionfag?
>>744245308Because if the setting were handled realistically the imperial military would be the largest bordello ever conceived of in fiction, and that would be a bit weird. So despite the clearly medieval inspiration for the setting there's no need for any of the factions to have strict rules against sex (which any self-respecting modern military or religious order does) and the only weirdos are Slaanesh's followers.
>romancing a bolter bitch is no go>romancing a baby-rape-eat-repeat elf is okayWhat
>>744243985HAHAHAHAclearly you know nothing of russian culture, particularly in the 90's
>>744241342Same. It's the only RPG i ever played where i hated leveling up.
>>744245584Gaunt's ghosts is partially based on the Shape's books I hear and so there's a bit of a more realistic version where there are babies being born etc. Its also mentioned in one of the Cain books that the Valhallens are having kids and he needs to deal with it.
>>744245584Cain's mixed sex regiment of two same sex regiments thrown together after a mauling explored this. Mostly by the amount of pregnancies he suddenly had to deal with under his purview.
>>744238758Go play persona troon
What is the casualty rate for IG anyways? I can't imagine they could sustain themselves unless women were having medieval sized families of like 8 kids a piece.It reminds me of WW1 and 2 where entire cities lost almost all the eligible men and created huge gender imbalances. Serbia, Russia, and I think Bulgaria got it the worst. I can't help but think the Imperium is like 40% male at this point and dropping.
>>744246404considerable when they're fighting lord blood cum of the rape demon murder fucking warband
>>744242302I agree replace romance with rape and rpgs will be good again
>>744246404Like everything in 40k, it depends. Both on the writer and what they are writing about.What theatre are they fighting in and against what? Who is leading them? Are they a Gaunts Ghost crack and specialised elite being led by those who have the discretion and power to do so wisely and to their full effect, or are they a Penal Battalion led by a General Ripper who will build his way up to an enemy wall on his own dead?
>>744239757They’re great, fun army to play, interesting lore, and they look great.Peak of 40k aesthetics honestly with their minis
>>744238758She's an amalgam of traumas and failures desperately coping with a mantle of religious zeal.A mentally stunted child that screetches at any sign of heresy in order to feel any kind of validation because her purpose has been lost to time. Not to mention she's probably wary oif you throughout much of the game because she literally capped your predecessor."Fixing" her involves burning the last shreds of humanity she arbors to turn her into a walking cataclysm.
antisemitic game
>>744246824There are three routes, but Owlcat seriously fucked her choices and it seems her arc was clipped. The paths to each are really opaque with their paths. That 'reveal' at Commoragh is the most underwhelming one and done nonsense, there should have been a whole arc onto itself as Argenta committed effectively arch regicide.
>>744246824I think all Sisters are supposed to be that
>>744246404Depends how shitty the regiment's RNG. On a regular day, it'll be just guard vs regular rebels that PDF or Arbites can't pacify.15 Hours is a fucking meme since it's full grim derp writing. The newly created guard regiment was sent to the wrong place at the wrong time with wrong gear to deal with the orks.
>>744246404I think IG has no manpower issues according to what lore I’ve read.The Imperium has bigger issues with replacing gear than finding bodies.Even a guard lazgun is more valuable than a guard arguably.
>>744246824That’s just everyone in the empire ever including the Emperor
>>744247140I actually really like 15 Hours, the problem is secondaries take that title and make it the entirety of the lore for the Guard.It fucking wasn't. It was for that specific theatre and they go into details as to why. Hell the majority of the cast in that book are embittered veterans. Veterans who know they are being led by a fucking idiot who keeps shooting any messenger telling him bad news, which is why the campaign is going nowhere.You see the guard actually pull off a heroic defence, but it doesn't mean anything because they are cogs in a mad machine. It's the right amount of grimdark.Now, if it were every campaign it would be intensely bad grimderp, but I'm fine with a specific example of idiot beauocracy meeting idiot leadership, it's just the luck of the draw/will of the emperor where you are sent. So having this alongside your Cains and Gaunts Ghosts give a great variety.
I want to romance a low level Administratum clerk whose idea of unimaginable luxury is having your own bathroom and who's ashamed of being unmarried at nineteen (practically too old).
>>744247573>unimaginable luxury is having your own bathroomIt’s just like 90’s Poland.
>>744247573>unimaginable luxury is having your own bathroom and who's ashamed of being unmarried at nineteen (practically too old).Bro we have that now just go to india
>>744238758She's married to Big E already
>>744248101>>744247731okay but she should also be very pious and willing to risk her life on a pilgrimage to deliver a document because she dropped a deck of cards and thought it was a sign from the God-Emperor
>>744238758>not breeding battlesisters with prime stock humans to make primus marinesIs eugenics a thing or is that too immoral?
>>744240071I can fix her.
>>744238758>No romanceGreat, now I'm going to have 'Word up' in my head all this week.https://youtu.be/lYOSdI_91WM?list=RDlYOSdI_91WM
>>744238758They always do that for their pet characters
>>744238758Didnt James Workshop say no?
>>744238758>shit character>no relevance whatsoever outside the prologue>completely mogged by Kibbles when it comes to blind zealotry Giving her a romance would have been a waste of time
>>744245875>Gaunt's ghosts is partially based on the Shape's books I hear and so there's a bit of a more realistic version where there are babies being born etc.Accurate, there are mentions of kids and marriage. The Gaunt series are pretty much Sharpe in space, and as such I found it quite enjoyable.
>>744238758Good. Romance fags ruined rpgs as a genre.
>>744250395Its never really clicked with me, it doesn't have the charm of the early sharpes books where he's just a rogue who's a killer and it doesn't have Harper, at least where I've gotten up to. It seems to not have the tactical differences of forces that Sharpe has against the french and it doesn't have the perils of navigating the officers mess. Also Sharpe tends to have pretty varied relationships, say Lawson, where he's actually junior and a stranger to some of the ways of the gentry.I'd love it if I've got that wrong because. obviously I guess, I love the Sharpe's books and I haven't really been able to crack Gaunt's series. Also try Flashman.
>>744245308Like all companies that started from a bunch of white nerds in a workshop somewhere, it's because they didn't create anything, they just inherited the IPs.
>>744240023>At least she didn't offer you sex and then blue ball you, like NenioI'm still annoyed about this (from a roleplaying/narrative point of view I swear). It's fade to black anyway, and the comedic writing that could have come from it is a completely missed opportunity.
>>744245308>why is the billion dollar corporation trying to avoid a pr scandal?makes you think. Trim sails and carry on I expect.
>>744239208The lore does not imply they are celibate at all, but they are rather ascetic and live a lifestyle of service. Also their true loyalty is for the Emperor and no one else, their organization quite literally was called Brides of the Emperor under Vandire's rule.

>>744249961She’s one of the best characters combat wise
>>744239208Corrupting a Sister into romance is the whole point, fucking faggot
>>744238758Warhammer 40k does not allow such a heresy as "Romance" and "Fun" in their books: your job is to go fucking kill the fucking XENO SCUM, you fucking faggot. are you a heretic? do you need to be purged maggot?
>>744251572Yeah but she NEVER SAYS ANYTHING. She's boring.
>>744246404>What is the casualty rate for IG anyways?It's actually not that bad. The Guard is a regular army, they are well trained and equipped for the most part, in comparison to your average planetary defense force.Sometimes units are made up of shitters because they are harvesting their recruits from a planet of shitters and sometimes they get desperate and do an emergency concription on the local planet.But for the most part, the average guardsman is either trying to be a Cadian or he's from a planet with its own martial tradition, so they know how to stay alive against most things.
>>744239757The reality is that they're not crazier than your average woman.
>>744239208You would think with how many good 40k games out there people would actually bother learning the lore instead of just larping, At least fantasy fans are literate enough to pick up the novels

>>744240023I love both of them specifically for that. It's incredibly funny to read bitter blue balled posts about them. Bravo Owlkek
>>744238758There should be male sisters of battle.
>>744246973It's weird how early she was revealed and yet so much of her content seems missing.There are also no faith powers despite that being SoBs big gimmick in the 40k RPGs.
>>744240071What would a Khornate and Tzeentch version of the Sisters look like?
>>744242302Maas Effect/Dragon Age and its consequences has been a disaster for CRPGs
>>744239757Chuds because they are chudettes
>>744240193See this is why I can get why GW added females to Custodes. You dont need to buy the sisters as a first set if you truly want a female army
>>744238758The only SoB romance option is with a corpse on a throne
>>744244465>>744244426>>744245182How do you practice tho? One mistake and you gotta buy a new figure yeah? I cant imagine constantly rubbing paint thinner is good for the model itself.
>>744254912Just paint over your mistakes?
All of you lack vision.
>>744246404Its more like Paraguay in the War of the Triple Alliance. That shit makes WW1 or 2 look like child's play>90% of Paraguays entire male population deadHumanity in 40k has like tens of thousand worlds with billions of humans living on each so they can lose people and planets like ants and ant colonies.The Eldar however...pic related.
>>744243985Jesus, what a post
>>744254941Isn't that gonna make like thicc layers upon thicc layers that will look ugly?
>>744255090Go try it, painting demos are free. It just werks
>>744238758Why are you thinking about girly stuff like romance? There's an eternal war to die for.
>>744251572Oh really? In that case I’ll put her in my squa… oh no! It’s already filled with the other “best characters combat wise”. And these characters actually have interesting banters, builds and stories. So there’s no way I’m switching any of them out for a checklist character
>>744252201>NOO I NEED MORE READING IN MY W-VN!!Ok, she’s the best party member after heinrix. I keep her because she’s eye candy and kills everything, the exact same reason the Empire has the Bolter Bitches to begin with.
>>744253856
>>744256104>NOO I NEED MORE READING IN MY W-VN!!Yes.
>>744255090You thin your paints is the short answer
>>744255534>>744256104She's the best for area range attacks which is what you need half the time. Just chuck a heavy bolter and a flamer on her and watch her go brrr
>>744256357SoB and a Flamer, name a more iconic duo

>>744256392I actually really like the hybrid chainsword/flamers

>>744239208>catholic nuns can't fuck>that means that a group that isn't really much like nuns at all that don't swear chastity vows can't fuck either???
I'm not allowed to fuck
>>744239208>in an empire optimized for war, women are sent to battles instead of giving birth to more soldiersWH40K seems a tad woke or am I missing something?
>>744257490Who's stopping you?
>>744238758I just opened this thread but I better not catch anyone citing anything from Caiaphas Cain as if they're canon to justify why there should be a romance path for her.Regardless, romance paths are tumors in RPGs that are hollow, performative, and stagnant. It never adds anything meaningful but always eats a huge amount of conversation surrounding a game because anons want to LARP having "earned" a GF. Argenta's character arc would be weakened if she could be romanced.
>>744257618You're missing a longer period of time than you spent being alive.You are also functionally illiterate so there's no way to catch up, so sorry.
>>744257758God
>>744252737GW can't paint sisters, more at 11
>>744257906Why'd he single you out?
Their love is for the emperor and the emperor only
>>744257618It's really just to bypass a law. Long time ago, church rebelled under a corrupt leader and fucked shit up. Law was passed that church could no longer have an army of men bearing arms. Church later decided it was loophole time, so made an army of women bearing arms.
>>744257873Can someone translate this?
>>744257947very Jewish way of doing things I'm afraid.
>>744257869>character arcWhat arc? In my game, she started as a religious zealot hellbent on killing demons and in the epilogue, she ends up as a religious zealot actually killing a demon. I still think romance in any RPG shouldn't be a focus and people obsessing about it are unironically mentally ill.
>>744238758why would u want to fuck a dude in a wig
>>744258074they are just trannies who are saying:>OMFG SHE'S SO ME WOWZAAAAA!!!
Arent they're trillions of humans in 40K? So people gotta be fucking. Unless there's a tithe on a breeding planet to force the women to have kids or something. If 40K had any balls that would make it canon that it's required by law for every woman to have at least 5 children. But it's Soihammer so of course not.
>>744238758Back to /tg/ with this faggotry
>>744258110No character in 40k should be literally you (except maybe Cain).
>>744258127They don't need a law for that, humans already breed like rats in 40k
>>744258156Cain is already literally Blackadder though
>>744258156the average foot-soldier in the astra militarium, basically are us, average foot-soldiers trapped in that shithole with a duty to die slow enough that the space marines can come and figure the shit out..
>>744238758>females soldiers/warriorsSo everyone who says warhammer is based are liars?
>>744239208evry tim
>>744258238it WAS based, but current gen? is just "maximizing the modern audience" that will never get into miniatures war gaming anyways other than as a fad, basically Games Workshop is trying to cash in on easily foolable audience. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition? Goated, W40k from the 00s in general? goated: the stupid woke shit is new bullshit. the company started to go full on woke and gay when they started censoring fan creations and taking fan artist's money away: they were literally the ones keeping W40K relevant, not Gamesworkshop.
>>744258202Cain is just a Chad with incredible luck.>>744258214The average foot soldier in 40k is either a religious zealot by today's standard, a fucked up psychopath from a ghetto that makes favelas look peaceful or just literal cannon fodder without personality.
Ignore all liars in the thread citing non-canon material like Black Library novels.GW told Owlcat and the most recent Sister of Battle writer not to depict any Sister romances since they are nuns. GW doesn't want the sisters to be sexualized.
Cassia or Kibellah for Noble RT?Can't decide.
>>744257121I'm pretty sure there are rat people in Necromunda. They might not exactly be skaven but I mean. Come on they're skaven. The difference is they are VERY VERY cautious about being seen or around humans. They avoid people at every opportunity and so people can go there whole lives never seeing one when they're actually all around them down in the under hive
>>744258238Yes. and it's called wokehammer
>>744258371basically modern western world, welcome to reality kiddo. (replace zealot with ideologue.)
>>744258238To be fair, see >>744257947Which is still canon and the only reason they exist. Although for how much longer, who knows. Wouldn't be surprised of modern GW retcon it.
>>744245245But it wasn't the same people, Nenio's writer was WotR's lead writer while Cassia's writer was a new writer they hired for RT (also a woman)
