Warhammer 40k

[Humble Architect]

Could you imagine if Metokur or Josh were canonized in 40K out of autistic spite? That would be hilarious.

Metokur is actually a fan of Horus, back when Rackets was coherent he did that 40k stream and Jimothy was asked the classic “Who’s your favourite Primarch?” question.

Fitting, in a way.

I didn't catch that, why Horus in particular? Is it just because he's the arch traitor?

Probably because he started with the first three books and didn’t have pre-existing bias like many of us do going into HH.

Horus is very entertaining, especially when he starts consuming redpills, he’s fun in the season 1 Homelander sort of way, where he’s so much more entertaining than the “protagonists” who are so boring I’d rather watch paint dry (Lokken).

I hope this blows up and draws more attention on Black Library, they need a good purge of the ranks.

That's probably not gonna happen the way you think. More than likely, they will purge Black Library of any right-leaning author the same way Battletech got purged. GW again, is a company located in liberal Britain, they turned 40K's story into a riff against the Right, and they will probably seek to purge the system of any right-sympathetic authors.

So do these idiots realize that by putting Sargon in their books that they're essentially elevating him and giving him credibility and not humiliating him? They've basically just declared he's worthy of their notice and on par with Margaret Thatcher, since Marge is just about the only other politician I can think of who has the honor of being a 40K villain.

Sargon is already crowing on Twitter about being officially canon in 40k now, yes.

All the better, that will mean less book sales down the line. It’s a real funny coincidence that any novel with some ugly bitch on the cover doesn’t sell out.

You have to remember these BL authors get comically low amounts of money for their work.

All good things to those who wait.

Yeah but his fall to Chaos was just written like shit. All the while that Chaos is lying to his face, he knows and is fully aware they're lying to his face and Magnus even pops in to tell him to his face that the Chaos gods are lying to his face, and he just shrugs his shoulders and goes "'kay, I'm arch traitor now."

Eh, when you read the end of Horus Rising as him losing his hope and optimism, he was cracking under the pressure and already had fears about being replaced. Then finding Temba devolved into a spawn, it’s easy to interpret that the big guy was at his lowest point.

I’m not denying it’s rushed and I really want his Primarch book but that’s how I read his fall.

 

[Pentex]

They made Carl Benjamin a villain in a 40K book recently, they're calling him "Sarkon Aggad."

I'm guessing they made him into an Ork.

Road to Redemption was published four years ago. Still, imagine being this gotten to by Sargon of Applebees.

What next? Inquisitor Nicolai Fontaines and his cohort of male Felinid sex-slave assassins?

 

[HTTP Error 404]

Mike Brooks is the guy who diversifies all factions. So him making Sergin a hive ganger is curious, I feel this was able to happen for Carl’s character not being tied to any of the big bads with model ranges to sell.

This is the gay retard who made BLM trans-supporting orks and wrote that novel with a nigger Alpha Legionaire on the cover.

I hope this blows up and draws more attention on Black Library, they need a good purge of the ranks.

He's not just a ganger, he's a brainless raided out chud slaver or something.



And reading that excerpt, the guy isn't just a faggy leftist, he's a PHENOMINALLY SHIT writer, even for Black Library.

I need some advice from people with an eye for color. I decided to do these chaos star bases for my Deathshroud Bodyguard in a really vibrant color scheme with greengray faded out colors on the top layer and iyanden yellow contrasts in the recesses. This had the unintended effect of making the base rim just about impossible to decide on a color for...each one I try to mentally put on there just does not work for me.

I normally paint all my base rims black, but here I sincerely doubt it would look good. White would be too washed out and garish. I don't want to just totally ruin the overall vibe of the mini...what color can I paint the rim of this base without ruining it? Should I just do a neater yellow? Because right now the rim is messy since I thought I would be covering over it in black.

Honestly 99/100 times black is just fine. With this lovely squelchy wheezy boy, a dark dark dark brown would look good too.

Oh it was very rushed. They could’ve spent a few more books on stretching out how Horus was disenfranchised with BigE leaving and letting humans rule in place outside of a few blurbs, wanting to resolve things diplomatically, and then suddenly chaos knife lol, lmao even

Horus has this jarring transition that makes no sense

it probably helps to remember that when the hh started it wasnt forseen to end up being the 50+ book diaspora it ended up being they scoot through the opening part of the heresy (istvaanss) in 4 novels, hell there was actually never a drop site massacre book.

 

[augment]

A bad Black Library author? Hold on let me just add him to the pile, phew.
It's getting harder and harder to stack 'em on top.

 

[Imperial Citizen]

Hope Sargon is actually enjoying his cameo. Sure, he’s supposed to be a mindless slaver brute, but he’s wielding chainaxes. Axes with chainsaw blades instead of a sharp edge!

Fuck, I’d pay money to depict me as a troglodyte getting blown up by a plasma gun as long as I’m the one wielding it!

Plus, Sargon being happy probably pisses off Mike Brooks, so it’s a win for everyone!

I think the blind idiot god that is GW will purge their underperforming assets and replace them with AI or the fucking foreign hordes so they don't have to pay them more.

Escapism is fucking dead. Imagine being someone who isn't interested in your culture war bullshit and being completely confused because you don't realise this is someone's hatefuck fanfiction. This is literally the kind of LiveJournal wish fulfilment that teenagers cook up as a way to get revenge on whoever is picking on them. It would almost be fucking sad if it wasn't cultural vandalism by tourists.

Sargon is absolutely loving the fact that he's basically part of Warhammer canon. He doesn't care that his detractors are using his country's biggest cultural export to kill him because he knows the writer was seething with every single word they typed out.

 

[Miriam Margoyles]

There's a Word Bearer called Sargon in The Talon of Horus. I know it's just a normal old timey name, divorced from the fart-huffing Applebee's waiter who wouldn't even rape Jess Phillips, but was super distracting in the audiobook version whenever anybody would talk about or refer to 'Sargon'. In my head, I was picturing Carl's fat, bearded, smugly chuckling visage.

Smug Sargon is the Sargon that provides kontent, rare Carl W.

I read that book in 2019 so Carl was fresh in the mind, I think his ultimate humiliation happened around the time I got into 40k.

 

[BrainProlapse]

Mike Brooks taking shots at Sargon via BL is next level pathetic.

1. You can't keep your personal grudge out of your commisioned work?
2. It's not even subtle: it's done in the most limp-wristed way possible
3. Now Sarg'n of Wakanda is officially part of 40k canon, good job retard.

GW has to get their shit together, they can't keep letting retarded irl shit into the product or they're going to end up with an army of spurned fans.
