Warhammer 40k

Also that part of bringing drukari onto to the throne world is beyond crazy
Frankly any bit of lore that touches on Terra post Heresy is embarrassingly retarded and invariably the worst excesses of grimderp in the setting.

From the choreographed cathedral hymnal rituals sending the morbidly obese pedophile High Ecclisiarch off to to his beauty sleep every night before he fucks the latest nubile child to be delivered to him to name one of many examples from War of the Beast, to the fact the custodes are offhandedly noted to keep shit worse than the Ctan and possibly even the Chaos gods locked up under the Imperial palace, to everything and everything surrounding the High Lords (i.e. the fact they whack off over how the literal fucking raisins they eat as snacks are worth more than planets) to the very fact that Terra is apparently the most ultra heavily populated and accordingly most corrupt and degenerate hive world in the Imperium. Basically it seems every author sees the word "Terra" and decides to just shit the most extreme sounding idiocy they can throw in to the setting just to make it sound more "grimdarker" or to create some hamfisted allegory for the imperium as a whole.

If anything it should be a virtual ghost world apart from the High Lords, the Ecclisiarchy, and the Custodes/Imperial Palace Functionaries with the Inquisition being ultra fanatical in screening even the most decorated and vouched for Imperial bignigs to even consider letting them share a planet with the Emprah, rather than just letting any dumb nigger waltz in to join the quadrillions of potential cultist/genestealer/heretic fodder who exist solely to make guarding the Emperor a billion times more difficult.

I can understand it being the most heavily populated. But it being most degenerate makes little sense. Corrupt makes sense but if it’s that degenerate than that’s the arbities, custodes, and military’s fault.
 
In the old pre HH Abnett Grammaticaloo times, Terra was described in the Space wolf book as thus:

A hyper developed hive world covered in armoured towers, super high security, somewhat well off locals. Navigator houses had a walled off enclave atop of what was Straya.

In HH the whole Imperial Palace is a tiny fucking acrology on top of the Himalayas, the rest is a wasteland. That's where the shit started.

See this is how Terra should be described. As a heavily fortified hive world that allows few in. It would be more grimdark or just better story wise if closest the religious pilgrims could get to terra was Pluto. Just imagine your a religious pilgrim whose spent how much time and money getting to what equates to their holiest site and being told the closest you can come is Pluto.
 
I’ve been playing more Rogue Trader, rolling a commissar to see the other side
Having 2 officers in the party breaks the game so much I love it. You’re practically just handing out so much free turns and with Argenta she’s practically soloing the whole time.

Yeah, because hive worlds aren't known for their bombed-out lower levels filled with mutants and worse or anything, and Terra is no exception.

And in those same books they wind up descending to the lower levels and shit's fucked because surprise, Terra is a hive world.

I just love the idea of the MC and Cassia screaming orders to the actual workhorses and that’s their contribution to the actual battle.

The shitposting for this game is gold, reminds me of prime-era Mass Effect shitposting

let me add to what I originally meant. I’m saying that if under the eyes of every organization on the holiest/ most important planet where fanatics are at their highest and security doesn’t mess around. I wouldn’t even shit without permission.
 
Articles like this are a prime example of why culture war grifters deserve the rope right next to the exact people they're whining about. Literally neither of the two stores in the article mention wokeness at all. One just says they're pulling out of Warhammer/GW and the other explicitly links it to getting the run around regarding his stock orders and decides it's not worth it.
 
>starts off talking about femstodes, the sargon of akkad, etc stuff
>one store is not selling GW models, but still selling paint
>the other cant get their shipments on time
You fucking feral baboons are the reason the actual criticisms for the direction GW is taking are treated like jokes. Its got the same airs as the feds lumping flat earthers in with the people that called out MK Ultra, its so egregiously obvious.

Neck rope and fuck off, tourist.
 
Yeah, that's par for the course. My LGS hates dealing with GW when it comes to books & minis, but has near-zero issues with them when it comes to their paints and modeling supplies.
 
No it’s not the gouging, inability to meet orders or forcing stores to carry crap (Kroot) that nobody wants, it’s the “woke” shit.

Fuck off.
The FLGS when I was in high school once told me that to replace the Hive Tyrant I was buying, he'd have to buy $250 worth of random GW shit, because GW wouldn't just send him a Hive Tyrant. And that was decades ago, $250 wasn't a small order.

The FLGS I go to now has an ungodly small amount of space -- maybe 200 square feet for the entire store. And an entire wall is dedicated to GW products because GW forces him to do that if he wants a partner account with them. This includes a 6 foot tall wireframe display rack of Citadel paint, many of the pots of which are ruined because it's hard to shift some of the paint.

Every army of the week he has to fully stock, even if it never shifts, for example. And don't get him started on Codexes, they're completely useless after a certain point and he can't get a refund or anything, but has to carry all of them.

GW's business practices are downright toxic.

Mine is a CANDY STORE that does hobbyshit on the side and GW made them carry stuff like the Kroot army box and a whole kill team battlefield.
 
I can't think of a time when Kroot have been anything other than a fucking joke. They're mediocre in melee, terrible at shooting, have no armor... I'm sure there's a few other downsides I'm missing.
It really is a shame that GW went all in on fucking kroot of all things for Tau (I mean, considering how little Xenos factions get, 3 battle line units is basically all-in). They should stick to what theyve been doing: new, unique Kill Teams to round out armies and offer customization. Tau's lack of different species being a prime example of an easy include. KT is better than standard 40k anyway.

great to see that nothing ever changes :story:

heard the same story from a colleague who ran a FLGS on the side... 15 fucking years ago.
