Idea for a 40k game:

Make it like battefront but with 40k factions. I would kill to play as a guardsman and then the heroes would be "insert space marine" and you just wreck shit. Same with the other factions. Honestly im surprised they havent even considered the idea.
Biggest problem with this idea is the team partitioning and balancing.
If we go by the current power scaling in 40K, you'll need at least a 64 players lobby for a 32/32 guards vs heretic guards game.
Hell Let Loose can have like 50-100 people in a server at any given time. Maybe give that a 40K reskin, at least as a prototype?

Good idea, but it would probably devolve around whoever's got the most dakka if you include melee. Only unique thing about it would be actually killing yourself by having plasma weapons actually fry you when it overheats.

I know you're supposed to give your life for the Emperor, but I think even the most fanatical Ecclesiarchy priest or commissar might frown upon suicide bombing. At least insofar as they'd have to replace you and scoop up your giblets.
that chick starts cutting herself in such a manner that even Lucius is wigged out.
He didn't wig out. Even though he found her painting with a dead guy's blood, he still took it in stride. His reaction was one of "what are you doing?" instead of shock or dismay.

Idk, it’s not any more insane than something like the Kriegers.
I’d imagine if the numbers worked out, i.e. the enemy would lose more men than the imperium, there are plenty of people in the imperium who’d be absolutely for it. Hell if it’s a daemon infested war zone, it’s a two for one deal since the Grey Knights would have to slaughter the guardsmen afterwards anyways.
 
He wields a great meltagun named the Jericho (which has the secondary effect of imposing its victims' unpaid debts upon their descendants to a thousand generations)
You may think this is a joke, but the planet of Vostroya has been sending every firstborn son to the service of the Imperial Guard for 10,000 years and counting as repayment for their sin of neutrality during the Heresy. And the Administratum was feeling uncommonly merciful when they decided to accept the Vostroyans making that offer at the end of the Heresy instead of purging the place as an abject lesson. The Adeptus Arbites will enforce judgements against great-great-great-great-great grandchildren when they finally get around to issuing a ruling long after the original subject has passed on. To the IoM as a whole a thousand generations of "fuck you" is nothing.
* Steal everything.
I figured that just made them the Nigger Marines, even more so than the Salamanders are. We're talking stealing armor off of a Grey Knight before the body has even cooled, on top of them snatching up Fulgrim's own personal thunder hammer as well as a suit of armor from one of the Custodes who boarded the Vengeful Spirit with the Emperor.

I hear the melta rifle is broken, I'm still using a base bolter. I'll have to try that build.
I've had a blast using melta + combat knife. The biggest downside is target selection and animation cancelation. If you fuck up your opening combo, you're going to be worthless until you have 2 charges of Grapnel Launcher.

Didnt they try that already and game pretty tanked hard.
 
"hold to interact" is gay and retarded. This shouldn't be a thing in gameplay, and especially not when you have to hold a button to OPEN an armor set's cosmetic menu.
This shit drives me insane and developers just keep doing it no matter how much we complain. I truly do not understand why.
 
As a Jew I'm offended no one said Blood Ravens:
* Ancestral origins are a hotly debated mystery.
* Steal everything.
* More big brain people than the average.
* Fuck over each other.
* Fuck the natives of worlds under their jurisdiction even harder.

Points 3 and 4 are good, but they didn't intentionally fuck the planets over. Nor do I think jews are known for theft at all, unless my antisemitism.exe and racism.dll is very outdated. That is gypsies and niggers.
Jews are known for trickery, so a Tzeentch faction or such would be the best bet. Like the Pajeet they trick you out of your money, not steal your money. I remember that Jonah had a 4chan joke that the Blood Ravens loved him because his melanin helped him get "gifted artifacts" even better, and they had an elite squad of black space marines to aquire loot from other chapters.

Not sure but are jewish ancestry a hotly debated mystery? Outside of DAS RITE Black Hebrew Israelite circles, I don't think so. They are just semites, its not like they are the sea peoples of the bronze age collapse or hungarians who have a less well documented history. If we want to keep it to imperials, radical inquisitors would fit the bill best.

Fink and radicals both want to "fix the world" by the most assinine and self-defeating ways possible. So radicals tick points 3,4,5 and 1 is more of a hungarian*/etc thing, 2 more of a nig/gypsy thing. They can also be tricky, and you can draw parelles with stuff like "inviting a million muslims---> Synagoge goes boom" to "plays with Chaos ---> planet gets eaten by demons".

* And a lot more, but well, the sea peoples are gone and we don't even know what they called themselves, and various injun tribes have hotly debated origins too.
 
to be fair tho, HOMM has meme potential
I mean sure, but that's probably not what's going on here. The simple reality is, someone looked at HOMM, looked at tabletop war games, and decided to come up with a proposal showing that for x amount of dollars they could slap together a product and make y amount of dollars back over the course of 1-2 years.

It happens all the time with licensed games, especially board games(no one is actually out there playing Dark Souls, Runescape, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. from these fucks https://steamforged.com/collections/board-games )but it doesn't change that the shit will still sell. Kickstarter has a similar problem with tabletop games, initial interest is gathered up and they sell through on the product(assuming they deliver and it wasn't a scam or otherwise fell apart due to mismanagement or whatever) and then 3 years later the game may as well not exist anymore because no one plays it and there's no more market to sell it to so no one stocks it and those games never become a competitor to anything.

I'd almost be willing to bet that Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers had put a ruleset together at some point, and these guys came around with some cash and wanted to slap a HOMM skin on it, kind of like all those licensed video games by LJN back in the day. But there's still a possibility that they were hired specifically to write a ruleset with the assumption their names would be a draw for buyers on some product elevator pitch slide deck.

I referenced the odd "Jews are actually slavs" (which is a legitimate claim for some immigrants from Russia), but that's enough self deprecation humour from my side.
 
I meant the PvE multiplayer, sorry.
It's... fine? The missions are basically what you hear being discussed over the vox that the other space marines are doing while Titus and his group are doing their thing in the campaign.

The problem is, there's only 6 of them, and the expectation seems to be that the devs are wanting people to just grind them into the dirt for xp and the tokens needed to unlock the 3rd and 4th tier of weapons. I've already got some relics and classes in the teens, but I cannot see myself bothering to continue for much longer as the weapons themselves are minor upgrades(a strength 13 power sword does not do double the damage of a strength 6 power sword) and with no iframes on a dodge(or non execution gun strike) you're basically limited to only really bothering with the fencing weapons for parries. You can also cancel for a parry, can't cancel for a dodge.

Pickup groups have now also become a disaster due to a bunch of youtube people grinding to level 20+ and getting some decent builds going with the perk trees, and then showing just speed running their way through some of the levels. So now the pickup groups are full of morons who repeatedly try to speed run their way through levels, get swarmed by the AI, and fail getting them a fraction of the xp per hour compared to just running the things normally and succeeding.

The PVP is fucking trash. Melee weapons are basically nerf bats, the weapons per class are locked behind veterancy which is separate progression from PVE. The matchmaking doesn't shuffle teams between rounds, and will put teams together with total level discrepancies in the 50-70 range. Basically a team might look like 6, 1, 1, 3, 5, 7. But the opposing team is 15, 10, 4, 18, 14, 12. The person in the higher level team just gets carried as that team stays together, if you're in the lower level team you might as well just quit out and try finding another lobby. The end result is shit like the sniper just going invis and running up behind the enemy team mag dumping into a guy with a carbine the class doesn't have access to till 14 or 15, running away around a corner, and repeating.
 
The Adeptus Accountus? The Lions of Judah?

Their Chapter Master is one Samson Noseblatt, aka the "Hebrew Hammer". He wields a great meltagun named the Jericho (which has the secondary effect of imposing its victims' unpaid debts upon their descendants to a thousand generations), and a warhammer called Goyim's Bane.

Their favored Exterminatus method is a barrage of Jewish Space Lasers called the Shoah. Their Psyker navigators can split a corridor of Realspace through the Warp. Their Chapter serfs are constantly bickering and splitting hairs with Gulliman on the minutia of the Codex Astartes.

After being expelled from 109 star systems, they are on a quest to regain total control of their homeworld of Zion-48 from the abhumans known as Sand Mon'keighs.

And woe to the planet that fails to pay its tithes on time.

All good suggestions, but surely the Jews of space are Snotlings and Gretchin?

Huge noses, meek, cowardly and despised where ever they go. Known for being sneaky and devious, physically repulsive and greedy, covetous and shady.

Space marines are literal racially pure aryan supermen, dedicated to a living embodiment of God
Historically, this is the very the antithesis of Jews.

Also, Orks all talk with gruff cockney accents. The East end of London is heavily populated with Jews.

It makes perfect sense that meathead cockney football hooligans would press the local yids into service as scuttling servants and occasionally food.
