i do kinda wish that certain races would get a bit of stuff mixed around for the outpost stuff. certain races (ie dwarfs for thunderers) are very clear winners to piggyback units from compared to others (ie warriors who just straight up don't have recruitment for things better than standard issue shielded warriors)

Ok, so I did some looking up and:
>Grimgor came out of the dark lands at the head of a group of black orcs, the Immortulz.
>Chaos Dwarfs completely outlawed black orcs after the rebellion and they're not allowed as slaves.
>Grimgor's name isn't an orc name, it's actually khazalid for indomitable beast, so not only was he a slave of the Chorfs at one point, he didn't get captured, they created and named him.
>"A grin split Grimgor's grotesque features as he recalled how the stunties had wailed as he'd torn down their city of pillars and pits, freed their slaves and toppled their statues. That'd teach them to break their staves on his hide. That'd teach them to try to make Grimgor a slave. The grin faded, and the old anger came back, hotter and fiercer than any stunty fire-pit." —Grimgor Ironhide, recalling his true origins.

So, yes. It was him. He was the orc that started the rebellion. The Chaos Dwarfs created the biggest orc the world ever saw, and he fucking annihilated them to the last.

40k is fucking gay, are they gonna EOS us fantasy bros?

Yes.

There's nothing worth adding that hasn't already been confirmed. It's better for Nagash to be the final addition than for CA to continue adding bullshit like Bhashitva that just makes the game worse.

Shit sucks. Meanwhile, skaven are loved for being psychotic retards that talk funny, so they get to do whatever the fuck wherever the fuck and whenever the fuck. A faction that exists only to be killed en masse can have cool stuff because gw actually put some thought into them.

i think lizardmen are (like dwarfs) one of those factions that benefit a ton from unit cap mods because their early/mid core units are so killy compared to other units of the same tier. them not having a meaningful elite infantry as a melee smashy faction doesn't matter nearly as much when your enemy can't field entire stacks full of chosen or black orcs or swordmasters of hoeth

DoW4 lost immediately when they decided to opt for Mechanicus over Guard. Nobody wants to play as the crumby Mechanicus, CA won just by virtue of including Guard over Mechanicus, would've preferred getting Tyranids over Eldar personally though.

>>576133594
I don't really know anything about 40k apart from what gets posted here. Why are the Guard seemingly so popular?

>>576133726
>Normal humans in a setting of ubermensch brutes and aliens
Its rooting for the underdogs

>>576133726
They're Empire but in space. Faith, Steel and Gunpowder but the Gunpowder is lasers. "Regular human facing down inhuman horrors" trope. Tanks and artillery that actually look like tanks and artillery. Only imperium horde playstyle on the tabletop. Have a regiment for any aesthetic(ww1, generic sci-fi etc). There's a lot of reasons they're popular even though they're quite generic in that there's not really any out there sci-fi shenanigans going on

>>576133726
they're the skaven equivalent

>>576133726
because artillery gunlines, thats really about it
nobody really plays guardsmen for guardsmen because they kinda suck and only exist to capture points and screen for mechs, and everybody fields weapons that turns them into mulch so you cant win the game

I see, makes sense

>>576133726
They're the closest thing to a common man army. Their tactics vary depending on regiment but many prominent ones are WW2 in space as well as modern doctrines. They have high techm cyborg soldiers, etc but are comparatively low tech to other factions.

>>576133726
>why are they so popular
mixture of mil-his autists getting rock hard at space military, military larpers getting rock hard at woah cool tanks and artillery and gun lines yeah war is awesome, and HFY people getting rock hard at normal humans fighting against impossible horrors and either pulling through or dying in a heroic way
in terms of their actual army they play like skaven if, instead of clanrats and skavenslaves being shitty melee chaff, they were given guns and became shitty ranged chaff. massed infantry that mostly exists to screen the enemy and hold objectives, special weapons crews/specialists that pick out targets, artillery that blasts away most targets, leadership with a callous disregard for collateral damage that sits behind the line coordinating everything, etc etc. they rely a lot less on magic, though, and most of the moulder and eshin stuff beyond rat ogres is replaced by tanks and armored personnel carriers and air support. if you've played a skryre campaign they'll probably play similarly

>console RTS
I have no confidence in 40k except as a 40k Halo Wars.

If they are the Empire in space, then who is their Karl Franz?

Emprah.

But the Empire and Imperium diverged enough that Cathay is way closer to the Imperium and probably deliberately so. The Empire sees High Elves and Dwarfs as trusted, reliable allies while the Imperium hates most aliens. By WHFb standards, having gunpowder makes the Empire one of the highest tech factions, while the best of the Imperium is among the best in 40k, the average case in the Imperium is below average.

>>576136670
I figured as much but he isn't playable, I guess I should have specified who is the playable equivalent

>>576136846
As of this point, the closest character would be Guilliman but it's unlikely he'd be a playable unit. Karl's an above average fighter but Guilliman's straight up one of the toughest fighters in the setting. Relative speaking, he'd closer if Franz was stronger than any unnamed Chaos Lord, Daemon Prince, or Grail Knight.

>Why are the Guard seemingly so popular?
every warhammer faction is specifically designed to appeal to a specific audience
the guard is the faction aimed at history autists, there's a lot of overlap between the target audience and people who already play TW and other strategy games

>>576136409
there is none because literally the only throughline is mortal human in a setting where most opponents are inhuman. the empire in fantasy is a jack of all trades roster that loosely mimics the HRE in the 16th century and is a pretty functional nation full of (for the most part) rational freemen. the imperial guard is a very specialized faction as far as 40k is concerned, and the imperium at large is a dysfunctional, oftentimes actively malicious, repressive state from whom the only mercy and rational treatment that can be found is in being overlooked. its foreign policy is total extermination of all non-human life, with any alliances being strictly temporary and of convenience. even on the small scale, the imperial human of 40k is an uneducated, cowed, and oppressed wretch that is only kept in line through violence and heavy religious indoctrination. the head of state of the imperium is a man who has been dead for ten thousand years and was a brutal, heartless, bloody dictator when he was still alive. actual executive governance in his stead is handled by a twelve-member council of the most powerful political animals of the various beaurocratic institutions of the imperium, all of whom are invariably divorced from the actual state of affairs, competent only in the art of political maneuvering, and wholly self-interested. you will find almost none of the reasons you like warhammer fantasy's empire in the imperium of man. it is a hive of villainy.

There is already enough xenos, but really xenos should have just been NPC factions. Xenoslop will just take up time until we get Guard/SM/SoB/IK/Inquisition /Chaos + god Legions DLC that actually matters. Hope CA realizes this when the xenoshit DLCs flop.

The size of a "low yield" nuclear weapon, one strong enough to wipe out large quantities of 40k units, would necessitate replacing one of the primary weapons for a titan of that size, and then that titan becomes comically underarmed after the next tyranid wave appears.
An inferno gun and a turbo laser destructor would be an optimal combination for a scout titan like that against tyranids and would provide consistent and far better long term results in sustained combat.
