Warhammer 40k

[Foltest]

Playing though Rouge Trader now and I am loving it.
This is what I wanted from a WH40k RPG.
Only 5 hours in, but I am loving it.

Thank you, I see.

Thanks for the info.

I use ebook reader, do you want a bookstore app or just reading epubs, arrgh?

 

[StevieLasVegas]

Won't be able to play it until June sadly. Temporary work schedule only gives me Fridays off.

Maybe not the place to ask, but what is a good kindle type product to read old GW books? I reached the point where everything I haven't read is too expensive to buy used, and I wouldn't be surprised if ebooks are as much as a clusterfuck as modern streaming with billion different services

I found an site that has some of the older books freely posted online through Yandex. Of course, adware will always be an thing

It’s really insane how superior the HH marine kits are to 40k marine kits, I remember last year when the Primaris jump pack marines were shown off and a month later the HH assault marines were shown off, more customizable, on foot, no rebar support and just called ASSAULT MARINES and not some embarrassing variation of Intercessor.

Also more value for your buck $75.00 for ten intercessors, $100.00 for twenty HH marines…… those are Canuckland prices (they’re gay and ridiculous)

The HH range has it’s problems (resin/impasse between old marines and nu marines/weird priorities) but it’s insane how superior it is to the post-Primaris 40k range.

Btw, if you’re building a Death Guard army, then for God’s sake just use HH MKIII marines, the modern plague marines are cartoonish garbage and a bigger ripoff than the Primaris marines (you only get seven plague marines)

That’s how you do this hobby, where you can, convert your HQs, don’t shell out the $40+ dollars for named characters unless you really feel the call, when the snow thaws and I can prime, I’ll show you guys what I’m talking about.

WIP of my Deathwing Gravis Captain I’ve been working on over the past couple days.



I decided to go for an off white power armour over the usual bone armour for a more retro feel. There’s not much left to do for base coats apart from the purity seals and silver details, once that’s done it’s just the case of deciding how I want to shade the gold and weathering the cape / armour.

Well, if you do want to try ebooks AND you aren't afraid to get your hands icky by touching torrents, there's a guy on 1337x called NeverWinter. Around 2000 ebooks packed neatly into folders for your own reading pleasure.

AoS reveals of new characters:
Butch dyke who is oppressed by Archeon but became his best warrior despite that.
Butch dyke who is oppressed by Sigmar but became his best warrior despite that.

Anyways, shit like the picture below will always force a chuckle out of me.

Is that a Miss. Trunchbull reference? Looks very similar. Would be great if true.

I meant more the device itself. Since most will probably have a DRM or some shit.

Only slightly warhammer related, but my expensive Anycubic resin printer went down a couple weeks ago. Correspondence is a bit slow due to the time zone difference, but they've been phenomenal with customer service. Technically the printer is out of warranty but they've already shipped me $400 in parts trying to fix the problem. It's such good service that it's kind of pissing me off that I can't get service like this with American companies anymore. Worth considering if you're in the market for a printer.

Nah, kindle will take epubs that you upload

Same. Story is excellent even if it launched rough. They fixed most of the issues though and I'm looking forward to the dlc.

I really liked how being both moral and dogmatic is possible. Was kinda leaning more towards idealistic so it sucked when they took that away for shooting one too many chaos possessed but oh well!

I just have a box of plague marines and champions I’m going to use as legionnaires for kill team since the KT legionnaires are too Black Legion styled for my tastes and I want something different plus don’t like Black Legion. (It’s an older purchase in a box of shame never put to use so it’s a way to put them to use) But yeah they’re over the top ridiculous style wise. Even the coming Night Lords kill team looks ridiculous. If I ever do a Night Lords army in 40k I might just use primarily HH stuff instead of 40k chaos. Shit, I should just use HH to build out a Legionnaires/NightLord KT as an excuse to build up a HH army.

 

[Forsaken Wanderer]

It's fucking disgusting how corrupted with the Jew Slaanesh Talmundic LGBT demon magic Warhammer has become.

I’ve got an Emperor’s Children army themed around Inductii and their whole schtick is that their praetor was one of those “in the wrong legion” types, like he would’ve jived more in a different one. But they’re made from the sons of workers and menials, not pompous noble sons.

Like as soon as the emergency inductions were ordered, he immediately began filling his company with stock who weren’t stuffed shirt retards, that isn’t to say that they’re “nice guy EC” it’s pretty much poor kids going off to college and joining a really messed up fraternity.

Essentially, a guy who should’ve been an Imperial Fist gets free reign to reshape his company and goes directly against the recruiting practices of his legion and created a cult of “true brothers” out of hate for the nepotistic culture of his legion.

Their leader knows they’re fucked and that mistakes were made along the way but it’s way too late to turn back. The scheme they’re getting is the 40k Hedonistarii colours, bit more reigned-in to show their warband cult’s commoner origins.

I know the children were the golden boys favs and so they originally were purple to represent royalty (I think?) but it looks great and there really is a lack of purple in 40k when you look at the official paint jobs of all the factions.


It's astounding how shit Warhammer vault is according to reviews. Not only is there no fantasy battles stuff they also cut all the pages with crunch out of the books for some insane reason. The cunts go out of there way to try and take down archives of their old books even though it's not costing them sales and then they can't even do their own paid archive right. All I want is a Drive Thru RPG copycat with well scanned books on the cheap and I would consider paying for some things for the quality of scan.

Frankly I just use the paid version of Moon+ Reader on my Android devices. If you use iOS instead I can't directly recommend anything but found a thread on le Reddit here:

Any audiobook recommendations? Really like audiobooks for work or walking.

I've listened to the Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin series, Gaunts ghosts and most of the Ciaphus Cain series and really enjoyed all of them (Ciaphus series got a bit too repetitive imo)

Google books is fine too, can upload your own epubs to there and they are in't cloud forever.

You can probably guess how I might be hugely biased in this matter but here's a REALLY good fan-written work set on a Forge World:

Helsreach too but you probably know that.

The “Dark Compliance” audio drama is pretty good (and there’s a rip on YouTube) so is “Warmaster” both sold me on Horus and made him one of my favourite characters in the setting, credit to his voice actor for that.

As long as we're still recommending audio books / dramas, I just remembered another one that stars not only my beloved Mechanicus but also Judge Dredd the Adeptus Arbites:
