Warhammer 40k

[Sweeter and Savoury]

I guess that GW sees Disney and Marvel as something to aim for. To appeal to a much larger audience then just the tabletop sphere and become something larger.

They want to make 40K into another huge IP that spans movies, books, toys ect ect and so they need that ESG money and the good will of the Hollywood types that means DIE and everything that comes with it.

I don't really care that much honestly, I stopped giving GW money decades ago after they butchered 5th Ed. But at least back then you could give GW the benefit of the doubt as they were just greedy and stupid but now they're embracing evil to be accepted by the normies which of course will never work in the long run. I mean look at Wizards of the Coast, they forget who their actual customers are and now are selling of their IP's to make ends meet.

Whut bugs me is that if GW shuts down the wokescolds would still see that as a victory as they don't give a single shit about 40K but just want to either rule it or destroy it. Which one they get doesn't matter to them, either works.

Just finished Galaxy in Flames.

Started The Flight of the Eisenstein and am disappointmented it isn't a direct continuation of what happened with the ship in the previous book. Hopefully this is just going to be setting up Garro and some characters on the Eisenstein rather than a full background story... I think I want to skip those for now.

Speaking of which, I know the next book is Fulgrim which is that character background only stuff I believe, so if there is any guidance on what books are only the important A to B to C events of the Hersey following up from Galaxy in Flames (and HOPEFULLY Eisenstein) let me know.

Fulgrim fleshes out the EC and their part of Istvaan 3, it’s fun though, I love a good sci-fi expedition that ends in nightmare.

But it already spans multiple books, and multiple toys? Marvel literally raped your brain at this point you won’t leave. I’m sick of the “oh I played then but left” and then you stick your head here to get brownie points for being a grognard.

 

[I don't like goblins]

I hated that they killed Warhammer Fantasy, but I eventually came to like AoS.
I hated when they started getting rid of Old Marines, but I eventually came to like Primaris.
In both cases; however, I would have preferred they never did the thing in the first place, but eventually came to accept it.
I hate this, but I will wait and see what they do with it before passing my final judgement. They might polish this turd, I doubt it, but they might.
An unpopular opinion; I know, but I shall be the Positive Polly. For now.
Female Space Marines are my hard line though, I will drop this IP like a sack-o-bricks if they ever do that.

Edit: Also, I'm a couple of chapters into "The Deacon of Wounds" from the Warhammer Horror series. It's pretty good so far. It's about a Ministorum Priest trying to save his dying planet from a plague. I might do a book report on it when I'm finished.

 

[ShitLurker]

Wasn’t this great crusade/heresy era? And Malcador always wanted to try it.

It's not the first time I read this. What's the context and why does I find this so compelling? Is he proyecting his inner John Money? Does he have a muscle mommy fetish? Who was the author?

It's confirmed, and fuck Games Workshop. It's only a matter of time now before Female Space Marines are a thing, which means they've chosen their customer base -- and it's not the ones that spend $60 on 3 plastic figurines.

Edit: Someone pointed out on twitter this could in theory be a Sister of Silence with a Custodes military title. Doubtful, but we'll see. After all, you can't just pander like this, GW would have to put out a female custodes character in order to PROPERLY pander.

fucking shameful, men don't come into women's hobbies demanding that they be changed so that they can be pandered to and be given special treatment.....
wait nevermind i forgot about trans""""women""".

we really need to do something about these autogynophilic faggots before they ruin every hobby.

 

[Kier Starmer]

My partner said to me as I showed them this "How much can you sell your GW stuff for?" I said nothing, people will abandon this hobby like rats on a sinking ship once female marines get announced that's it. gw know that that is their Rubicon but I don't think they know the shitstorm that will happen. I can bet they will lose 50% of their audience overnight and they fucking deserve it.

These corpo nigger faggots are all growth, growth, growth but fail to ever fucking realize that there is always a ceiling. They had one FUCKING JOB entertain the nerds and produce cool shit but no ESG is the bastion even though Blackrock is scurrying from it because they know it is a poisoned chalice.

I am just pissed it happens to everything I like and I am beyond fucking tired of it because a bunch of pooners and pedaphiles on Twitter love complaining.

 

[The tired cat]

I dunno why, but I find it hilarious watching you faggots cry which is essentially "Muh kultur waaar!! Muh hobby ruined!!". Like one person said, these bitches will probably get forgotten and nobody will care for 'em, an I highly doubt Female Space Marines will ever be on the menu. But hey, keep shrilling, Gork'n'Mork knows it makes you twats any less pathetic than the "enemies" you claim to rail about.

 

[Broadside]

They want to make 40K into another huge IP that spans movies, books, toys ect ect.

It ALREADY DOES, I'm so fucking sick of them. They're gonna water down 40k to appeal to a generic market as if there isn't already a fucking toy range, series of best selling books and videogames based on the franchise.
They're one of the few companies who saw consistent growth through the recession AND covid, the people in charge know no limits to their greed I swear.

 

[Penne Dreadful]

Bananamen existing at all as a playable army is a bigger travesty than some of them being bananawomen.

 

[Vulkan]

Do you guys think some actual autists will take action in physical stores or even Warhammer world? There needs to be an actual stand here or else it all fails. You can’t just do internet posturing since GW will never listen.

Gokickfund me 40,000 bucks and I’ll go into the local Warhammer store and scream Custodes are all men and pepper spray a wagie

I second that. I don't see any lore contradictions besides how things were 10K years in the past and I'm more bummed out of how shit the modern writing is for 40K in that it feels way more like it pushes new figures than telling a story.

 

[Atypical Dog]

Watch it just be two Sisters of Silence standing on each others' shoulders inside the banana boy armor.

Wait, aren't some Sisters of Silence close to a Custodes height because of that armor they wear? 'Cause I swear the height for the banana boys always jumps around.

There were some that indeed were made to tell a story, but sadly those are far and in between.

I'm not sure. I just know that the banana boys are very tall, so I would totally believe two baseline humans stacked on top of each other would fit inside one Custodian suit.

Now whether they could move effectively would be another thing entirely, but it would be funny.

 

[ratnoid]

How one would build a bully boyos army for greenskins? I'm thinking of entering 40k tabletop with 1000 points army of these big lads. Or should I just sit down and wait for the points release?

I'd say if you wanna do bully boys, you're prob gonna need to have Nobz and MegaNobz a plenty for that.

Most likley, since assume they get minis, female custodies where probably in the works for a while and if you assume ADB or abnett where responsible, they would of shown them of in the siege of terra books.

It will either be another "the imperium is slowly making progress" like the primarus again, or potentially funnier in the 10,000 since the HH, one of the houses that would give their sons to the custodes decided to only have daughters in order to try and avoid this, but backfired as the golden boys are almost emotionless automatons and do not care, fresh meat to guard the palace is fresh meat.

 

[AncientPhosphur]

Looking forward to MajorKill (Custodes player, porn consumer) explaining why muscle mommy Custodes is great

 

[Male Idiot]

Eh. Female space marines, female custodes, female orks.

With the Firstborn marines gone, I don't care. What I liked is already gone.

If we get a gacha game about collecting marine waifus, fine, but otherwise I am checked out.
