Warhammer 40k

[HTTP Error 404]

Consider that if they do let the Emperor die in book 3, they can resurrect him as a jewish black lesbian muslim transwoman of color in a wheelchair with vitiligo and stretch marks who don't need no man but is perfect and the only thing holding xer back is that everyone won't recognize how awesome zie iz.

I mean it'd change the lore forever, but, it'd be an interesting thing moving forward. Imagine if the Custodes weren't protecting the emperor on the throne, they were keeping anyone from realizing it's Horus on there. The Emissaries Imperatus could literally be hearing the Emperor if he's left behind as a warp demi-to-actual-god, or be picking up on his own faint version of the Astronomican if he's reincarnated somewhere and growing in power.

Personally, I find his hypothetical on a new player coming into 10th Edition and then buying old Firstborn Space Marine kits to be outlandish.

It's not the first time, GW nuked fantasy just months after releasing a new (and expensive) range of Chaos Dwarves.

so I can believe it's an actual woman (even though my first instinct was actually tranny), specially if she's more focused on the hobby than the game.

Wargaming is stereotypically male/autist, but painting/converting is very artistic. I could see how the 40k books fit male interests more, but it's not exclusionary.

"I am macho like Leman Russ

Leman Russ, the only beardless giant space dwarf.

(I know they changed it in later artwork)

On another note, I strongly recommend the Execution Force expansion to the Daemonhunters PC game. The new missions and units add a change of pace and new tactical options without being overpowered.

 

[ForTheHoard]

In universe, the emperor dying would be catastrophic. In the real world, the emperor sitting half dead on the throne is getting boring. Kill him, revive him... just do something with him.

 

[Stanley Ipkiss]

What if she is a pooner? Or was one of those pooner types that at least put on a he/him and yelled. "I am macho like Leman Russ, DOOD!

I can't imagine the boys continuing to call her "she" if she were a pooner. She's gotta be either a woman or an HSTS. Leaning woman now.

As for slipping on calling Shy a he, DK has a bad habit of fucking up words. Main fuck ups I can recall is constantly calling Alpharius "Alpharion" or calling Abaddon "Ezekiel" instead of Ezekyle despite Bricky frequently calling him Kyle. That said, on their recent episode on the bolter, Bricky mixed up the storm bolter with the combi-bolter (understandable for new fans/gamers since GW treats them as the same thing. I miss when the combi-bolter was a twin-linked bolter) for like 5 or 10 minutes and Shy waited until the end of the episode to point out he fucked up

Eh. I could buy that. I'm just really surprised to find a true and honest woman with (male) troon levels of autism. What are the odds?


Anyway what's the best way to get more of the lore? The wiki seems pretty detailed but reading a wiki about someone isn't the same as engaging with the thing itself.

She used to have a ton of Warframe-related videos up (which have been purged) and she appeared on camera a few times wearing goggles and a scarf covering her face. If she's a troon she's the best (only) passing one I've ever seen.

She's actually mute and most likely the scarf was to hide the injury that caused it. All her videos were text-to-speech and she even went as far as paying for a custom voice that she only used a handful of times before she stopped making videos. I guess the Adeptus Ridiculous Patreon is good enough now.

Just read books on whatever you're interested in, chances are there's a book about it.

She's the one who suggested they make the show as DK was showing interest in Warhammer 40k and Bricky had the most experience of their group. She's mainly the show's editor and I think does their posters (correct me on the last point if wrong. Seems like whenever they do the poster for their Patreon and Bricky's store, Shy is the main person involved). She does type in their Discord when they're recording for commentary on occasion so she can be considered the third host, but usually acts as tard wrangler when they go too long off topic. Bricky usually does the research for the episode, or DK for when they do the Detective Ridiculous episodes, but Shy will type in stuff she wants talked about in the episode.

Shy doesn't draw the pictures just commissions an artist called Halaste to draw them (iirc DK does too and once in awhile they'll ask for something cursed just to annoy Bricky).

As for the End and the Death, at the very least it'll give me a little more time to actually finish the HH and if I'm being honest, it should of been McNeil to wrap things up. I'm 13.5 books into this quagmire and he's the one author that hasn't had a really bad book so far but that could change so I still have 40+ left (horus rising must of been a fluke because I kind of felt like legion sucked for 75% of the book)

That's not the same at all. We're talking about new players buying old models, and I particularly do not believe the notion that new players will be interested in buying old models of weirdly stunted Space Marines compared to the modern sculpts available. And that's assuming such new players can even find Firstborn Space Marine kits.

Read books, the primary source, whether 40k game books or Black Library fiction. Both wikis and YouTubers (who often refer to said wikis) are unreliable, with the possibility of passing on bullshit. Further note, however, that there's plenty of retcons as well, like the big Necron makeover, so newer primary sources are more canon than older ones.

All the Heresy authors have had off books, except maybe Chris Wraight. McNeill produced Outcast Dead, which is just a fucking mess of continuity errors and stupid writing, Aaron Dembski-Bowden decided he was gonna piss everyone off with Master of Mankind and outright retconned some of McNeill's writing in Echoes of Eternity for no apparent reason other than he felt like it, Ben Counter had five or six loyalist Space Marines clown an entire battleship full of Word Bearers by themselves in Battle for the Abyss, Nick Kyme dragged  Deathfire's plot out beyond reason, and it felt like Abnett was taking us on a tour of his weird fantasies in Legion. On the other hand, McNeill wrote A Thousand Sons and  Mechanicum, ADB did right by the Word Bearers and World Eaters in The First Heretic and  Betrayer, Vulkan Lives was one of the better things Kyme's ever written for 40K, and Abnett gave us Know No Fear, which is one of the most ball-crushingly awesome books in the series.

I'm also starting to realize that I wasn't a huge fan of Ben Counter's other Heresy book, but my man gave us The World Engine and the Soul Drinkers series and that forgives many sins.

I would assume GW's lore department has some sort of editorial discretion before these books get published and distributed. If their QA is bad then they're as much to blame as the writer.

Like I said 13.5 books in so only going based of what I've read in the series so far (and I don't think Wraight even has a book till around 20 or 30).
And tbh I might be a little biased against Abnett since while I did like Eishnerhorn and Horus Rising, I don't think he can write an ensemble heavy cast since legion I said I didn't like and I didn't think the first Gaunt book lived up to its legacy of one of the staple 40k series (tldr felt like there where a bit to many Tanith to keep track off and Gaunt didn't really get any focus until the second half), and from what I've heard about the End and the Death, there are a lot of moving parts to keep track off to put it lightly.

 

[Second Missing Primarch]

Tbh I don't think there are many writers, living or dead, who could tackle something the size of End and the Death while simultaneously ending the stories of dozens of major characters and wrapping up scores of plot threads from a nearly 20-year-old series, so that's not necessarily a reflection on Abnett's skills. I'm not sure anyone else at BL would do a better job.

My main problem with Legion was more that it was basically just a Bond novel IN SPACE and didn't do much with the Alpha Legion aside from revealing Omegon's existence and the Cabal talking them into siding with Horus "for the Emperor", and all that was crammed into the last fifty pages. The whole thing with the slutty teenage psyker chicks also had me side-eyeing the book by the time I was done.

Been getting into warhammer for a bit now. Checked out names I'd seen people throw around and the people youtube would randomly recommend, and I've come to a few newfag conclusions

Bricky is an annoying faggot and that podcast is trash. Just a trash tier memer. It's no surprise it's zoomers who seem to gargle this dude.

Majorkill is just a try hard, who's also a faggoty memer. And a degenerate coomer on top of it.

Luetin09 is okay simply because he basically just reads a wiki. His fanbase is fucking sad though. Jerking the dude off constantly like he's not just talking over some still images on repeat.

The astartes animation is the best one I've seen since I started binging those, and it's not even close. Arguably the thing that actually hooked me after testing out various lore tubers and other animations.

That's about it for my babies first 40k opinion

 

[Second Missing Primarch]

Took going to four different Targets and a phone call or two, but scored a copy of the Space Marine board game. $40 for Titus and 20 Termagants isn't a bad deal.

Baldemort is good usually, it is a wiki-read with happy old man noises and usually a self made fan story narration. The Amber King does character deepdives that go on four hours, Vox in the void narrates fan stories and songs, and there is a harlequien that does fan outtakes and theories.

There is Valrak and Wolf lord Rho for general theories.

Arch is a bit of an old grognard, even if him laughing at sjws is funny.

But the rest is the same. You can skip majoredge and miss bricky, and Luetin is just an ebook reader that you can use if you can't read the articles on the wiki while trucking.

Oculus Imperia is a great lore youtuber and never gets enough recognition.

One I found enjoyable was Amber King, he kind of does half excerpt narration half commentary and uses some decent voice acting. Lutein really has a lot of interesting insight when he sticks to the topic at hand but holy shit does he need to cut out the 50 droning tangents and rambling segments per video.

I've been slowly getting into some of the books, mostly trilogies and such and most are ok. Don't think I'll ever touch the HH books any time soon, I'm fine checking out summaries and such until it's all over.

it's like blacks and niggers, it matters what you say and do, not who or what you are...

half a week and no one posted 1d4chan yet. shame on all of you.

personally I'd just grab old 40k books from earlier editions and some white dwarfs. black library is hit or miss, sometimes fucking fanfiction is better (because it's simply less retarded and less contradicting to established lore).

Eh, she seems to be an autistically inclined girl.

The fingers looked too slim for a tranny.
