The first episode of GW's Loremasters is going to be about Abaddon. The Warhammer Community article trying to shill it sounds deranged, it's some next level copium.

"Abaddon is a frequently misunderstood character. Some people seem to think he spent 10,000 years just trying to destroy Cadia. Or they don’t realise that ‘Black Crusade’ is only a name retrospectively given by members of the Imperium to campaigns in Abaddon’s Long War they’ve never really understood the importance of. So he seemed like a good first subject to tackle, highlighting key themes and dispelling bad memes."

Aren't people tired of watching Warhammer lore by now? You'd really think it would all be played out by now. Abaddon? Oh yeah, there's a subject that hasn't been talked to death.

What a bunch of faggots. Also dispelling bad memes? Lmao.

you mean the process which lets you run around with a second heart will have no effect on the melanin level? even more laughable that changing skincolor would be considered unstable, and remember we're not talking about facial structure and other stuff. an albino has white skin too, and skin color is all that counts to certain retarded types.


yeah, GW would never do stupid shit like nuking a whole setting for the sake of money, they're above that now...

Arch pointed out that any Space Marine is gonna turn chocolatey brown in high UV areas. That's not controversial at all. The real problem with the random black Ultramarine on the cover for woke points wasn't that his skin color was brown, it's that he didn't look racially the same as Gillyman. The lore even in recent HH novels is that once you get the geneseed implanted, by the time you're done with your training your racial features are overwritten by the Primarch's. (Specifically White Scar innitates from Terra ending up looking like anyone else from Chogoris.)

A black Ultramarine initiate? Completely noncontroversial. But by the end of his training, he'd be white. Commence reeeeeing.

These dire wolves are the most annoying kit i have put together in recent memory. Sprue organization is none existent.

@HTTP Error 404
I'm genuinely interested to hear which author had the balls for that one. Also if I remember correctly the few heresy tsons characters skins tones are described differently in Thousand Sons.

My favorite interaction with Abaddon is when Talos just completely felts him about the 13 in the nightlords trilogy , and Abaddon goes on the usual cope about 'THEY ALL HAD THEIR OWN OBJECTIVES!!!!"

I'll be honest with ya: I don't know what that trilogy is, but I can absolutely believe that coping.
 
@Love_Machine011
either implantation gives you the feats based on your primarch or it doesn't, highly doubt shit that turns you into 7 feet roided up super soldier suddenly stops at skin tone, mentioned or not.

as for AoS, point was GW has no qualms fucking with the lore if it makes them more money, doesn't even have to make sense. yes fantasy was extremely expensive towards the end (it's not like it wasn't their own fucking fault), but nuking the whole setting is akin to nuking 40k to have a lore reason to release kill team. they could've easily done their own skirmish rulseset for fantasy and have it run alongside it, but they really wanted to sell you ground marines too, and that's where shit got off the rails.

Most ultramarines arent blond bud.

Also the ravenguard, Luna wolves, or salamander would never ever be mentioned to have strange effects by your logic. Again, your argument isn't based in reality.
 
The salamanders turning into niggas is due to a gene seed flaw

@Love_Machine011 That was a dumb-ass Matt Ward thing. Originally it was just "We're black because our homeworld is a volcanic, irradiated hellhole and the melanochrome has permanently adapted to those conditions". Or in other words, they're coal black thanks to the super-melanin keeping their body from being scorched. Theoretically, any Space Marine who spent time on their homeworld would have darkened as well thanks to that organ doing its thing. Now, according to a recent read on the Fandom page for Nocturne it seems like that's standard for every person there, not just the Salamanders, which is exactly what you'd expect from people exposed to above-average levels of ionizing radiation over tens of thousands of years. TL;DR Nocturneans and Salamanders super-niggas because anyone pale would have their DNA shredded by radiation.

Phew, autism over.

What's the deal with Bolt Action anyway? Isn't it kind of a shameless cash grab as well, since they are just trying to sell you on highly detailed but overpriced vehicle models? From what I remember hearing, the entire scale and structure of the system is geared toward vehicles as the centerpieces, even though the vast majority of small unit actions of the era were infantry against infantry, and certainly at the sub-platoon level there would have been minimal cooperation with armor.

This would be the game to 3d print. You cant copy write something like a scale m3 stuart the same way you can a rhino.

They're releasing a sick set with pegasus bridge and mostly infantry. Not buying it, but looks hella sweet.
