Warhammer 40k

[Second Missing Primarch]

So there's a new indie game called Trench Crusade. It's basically "What if in the middle of the Crusades someone opened a gate to hell, leading to centuries of open warfare between medieval Europe and the forces of hell?" When the timeline has basically hit WW1... only with one side being made up by people empowered by demonic possession and magic, and the other side being supercharged by faith and divine prayer.

I've been getting a lot of kitbashed models for that popping up on my social feeds. It actually looks pretty interesting. Fingers crossed it pans out.

"Akshually, the game where literally divine empowered Christian Holy Warriors have spent 7 centuries running a holy war to defend Earth and the Human race against the forces of hell is woke cause it like, makes Christians look bad and has women in it. You chuds aren't welcome." - Sigmarxism

My brain hurts.

But yeah from gameplay footage it's apparently basically Mordheim 2: Deus Vult. Should be great.

I mean, least Necromunda gets new stuff, with new gangs, locations an etc, more than I can say about BloodBowl and WarCry. Age of Sigmar, frankly fantasy in general was always a hard sell, mostly because from what I recall you needed to buy way more models to even approach 1k or 2k point counts.

Not only you had to buy a lot of models just to play a 1k+ point game, but Fantasy was also a bloated mess that was never balanced. If you didn't play Fantasy like 40k you will never win a traditional army game because every faggot and their grandma who played Fantasy played some shooty army like Empire or Elves/Dwarves (Skaven was also infamous of Skryre Army of Doom before 5th+ nerfed that list). Fantasy has wonderful lore, but I don't miss the overall game because it had problems Shitmar tried to fix (and failed to do so). Maybe it was my area, but a lot of Boomers played Fantasy, and loved to humiliate and exploit opponents in fron of anyone (I lost to one prick, but beat another guy out of luck). Tabletop fags can be pricks (I've also had my moments to be fair).

I'm not so sure about that. GW hasn't given the whales a reason to quit, the tourneyfags will always hang on to whatever GW does so they can chase the meta, and the scalpers will continue scalping, especially since GW introduces artifical shortages to jack up the prices, so scalpers will always have a healthy market.

A whale with any self-integrity will drop something he supports if something is fishy, and isn't getting anything good. Not every whale is a dsp-dent or a loyal cuck with battered wife syndrome who got lucky with crypto 4 years ago. I've seen whales walk away from gacha games over terrible decisions, and I guaranatee you there are whales who aren't happy with Age of Shitmar's direction and 40k suddenly nerfing/buffing armies after their release (Squats getting nerfed during 9th, Eldar in 10th).

-Whale
-Self Integrity

Pick one. No person with integrity would spend so much on a hobby that changes left and right for the sake of stringing more money from the customer. Yes, most whales are people with battered wife syndrome.

Gatcha game whales aren't as old or as long-suffering as 40K whales; they don't spend thousands of dollars on plastic miniature men. At most, they may have spent a couple hundred dollars, but eventually they'll hit their limit. GW whales have long since passed their limit. At best, if they do kick their habit, they'll evolve into scalpers who will then buy the plastic crack and sell it for a markup to the next generation of whales. And that's IF they kick the habit, which they do not show any signs of. Age of Sigmar made a tidy profit, and so did the Primaris.

That wasn't their original intent. Especially when the Emperor was either just a false god or a fedora-tipping reddit atheist. Like with Watchmen's Rorschach, they accidentally created something based, but that wasn't their intention. This isn't LOTR where Tolkien intended for Aragorn to be a demigod and for Gandalf to be Saint Michael the Archangel, literally striking down demons in battle.

It's like how Disney and Dave Filoni wrote Ahsoka to be a woman-centric SW show, but the female protagonists act like idiots and it's the men in the show, Baylan, Anakin, and Thrawn, who hold it up. A show that was meant to show us how badass women were ends with the strong empowered women getting beaten by a drunk smurf who goes ''GG EZ'' before he leaves them to die on a desolate shithole with no way home.

Jesus fucking Christ, how incredibly gay can you be...

This is Warhammer. It can get super gay.

 

[Snekposter]

The only thing I remember about Dawn of War 3 is how Macha from the first game looked exactly like all the fanart, lewd or otherwise, that had been posted on /tg/ for years despite never showing her face in the first game.

A lot of that shit bleeds over. Venerable Dreadnought Autolochus in Brothers of the Snake talks suspiciously like /tg/'s take on Bjorn the Fell-Handed in that he's grumpy as hell about not getting any action, spends some time shittalking people, and is remarkably self-effacing.

'That's enough!' Seydon growled. 'Bad enough we reel from the orks, I'll not have us fighting ourselves. Petrok, my kind brother, retract your slur to Brother Medes.'

'I will not, master.’ Petrok said. White fury gripped the still-restrained Medes. The other officers glared in dismay at Petrok's insubordination.

Seydon rose. 'The devil is in you, boy.’ he said, stepping towards Petrok.

'Then let's hear what the devil has to say for himself.’ a low, grating voice echoed from the shadows. Seydon looked round and sighed.

He sat down again. 'You're awake, then, master Autolochus?'

'I'm always awake.’ the voice replied. 'Noise you idiots make, it's hard to slumber.’

Hydraulic pistons hissed in the gloom, and the warrior ring parted respectfully to admit the new figure. He towered over them, clomping forward on his thick bionic legs, his huge grey chassis casement draped with ancient, flaking pennants. The venerable dreadnought Autolochus took his place in the ring of warriors.

'I say, let's hear Petrok.’ Autolochus said, his voice gusting dry and toneless from the synthesisers in his bodywork. A veteran captain in his age, Autolochus's battle-mutilated remains had been cased, with honour, in the dreadnought mechanism for perpetuity. An ultimate weapon, like all dreadnoughts, Autolochus was kept in hibernation for most of the year, woken only for triumphs, or ceremonies.

Or crises.

'Yes.’ said Medes, shrugging off the hands restraining him, 'like master Autolochus, I would be intrigued to hear the complexities of Petrok's scheme.’

Autolochus pivoted his huge metal bulk around so that his ocular sensors regarded Petrok. 'Let's go, Librarian. Make it good.'

Petrok nodded to the huge, sentient war machine. 'I have been plagued with dreams this last month. Pivotal dreams, in which the manner of our deliverance... excuse me, the deliverance of the Reef Stars... has been foretold.’

'When a Librarian dreams.’ Autolochus rumbled, 'it pays to listen. If I'd listened to Nector, I wouldn't be four tonnes of scrap metal.’

'I'll make sure of that.’ Autolochus grumbled. The dreadnought clanked around to face Petrok squarely. 'It's been a long time since I last did anything useful. I'll be coming with you.’

'Thank you. But I was. I tmly was. Skypio was my squad. Notable Skypio. How well we wore that title. Ah me. Happy days.’

Priad shook his head and laughed. He tried to rise. Autolochus extended his cannon mount for Priad to brace against.

'Look to your wounds, lad,' Autolochus said, 'or you'll end up in a combat chassis like me.'

There's a Deathwatch Dreadnought mentioned in the TTRPG rulebook that is similarly grouchy about not getting to fight anymore.

This kind of shit just makes me want to hurl. Like can nobody just enjoy something anymore without breaking it down with political overanalysis. Why do these niggers always have to autistically break everything down into absolutely defined constituent parts and then filter them all through a political lens now? The same shit happens with every other piece of entertainment media that I enjoy, I always see these groups of faggots Ackshuallying about it nonstop. Even after the point has been made 1,000 times they persist. Just shut the fuck up. We understand the deeper meaning of things, nobody needs to have 40k or Warcraft tossed into the rock tumbler that is your brain. We know Tony Soprano is a bad guy. We don't care if our favorite hero's "fundamental political framework" actually make him as evil as the scrotum of Satan himself. It's for fun, it's entertainment. an escape from the real world.

Maybe it's just because they legitimately cannot separate reality and fantasy in their minds. That would make a lot of sense.

Well that and Id say because they just wanna pretend how they are so damn educated, how they can read through the lines and all that other BS. Basically, its thatd highschooler mentality, where you assume you have shit figured out, only problem is that these numbnuts never grew out of this mentality.

You're talking about a class of fake nerds who were told that they'd make it big after they graduate, only for them to become jobless or work low-rent jobs because their shitty liberal arts/journalism degree isn't enough to land them a job in a real outfit like CNN or the New York Times, or other high-paying jobs. So instead, they take the liberal bullshit they were taught in political classes and they spread it like gospel to other people to show the world that they're good little liberals, and they insert this crap into any type of fiction they can find, demonizing nerds who identify with fascist factions like the Empire from Star Wars, the Federation from Starship Troopers, and obviously, the Imperium from 40K.

These same people lost their fudge when Disney asked fans which side they'd pick in the Sequel Trilogy, and a third of the fans asked said they'd side with the First Order; these ''people'' lost their shit and started attacking Disney Star Wars fans for tolerating fascists among their ranks. They cannot process the idea that people choose the factions with nice uniforms or drip. They have broken amygdalas and they cannot separate fact from fiction. Therefore, anyone who larps as a fictional fascist in their eyes is a real-life fascist, even if you have a Space Marine larper or a Sith larper still believe in democracy and voting, or even workers' rights. Fuck that shit, you dress like a Nazi, ergo, you are a Nazi, to these people.

And remember that these people make their living or pass their free time by whining about things. If problematic things like fascism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia were to ever truly disappear from the planet, these freaks will have nothing to rant about, and their very existence or idea of self-worth will fall by the wayside. Either they'll falsely accuse other people of those ''isms'' just to keep themselves distracted, or they might slit their wrists, since they're effectively worthless in the eyes of society.

I mean, lets be honest with ourselves, these guys have fallen apart many a times. When women dont agree with their bs, when people of color dont agree, when gay or trans people dont agree they instantly turn on all these groups. Theyre just bitter assholes, who are angry that the world isnt giving them a free cookie and a hug.

I miss the days when politics used to be a fun thing to joke about. Now you just have losers on both sides who try to whine or grift for the sake of self-importance.

 

[Fungible penis]

bong, would describe as Rad.

A lot of the impact of the climax of the Siege of Terra books for me was seeing this. Stuff that was probably scribbled down on the back of a fag packet in a pub in Nottingham, to sell toy soldiers and because it was just cool, elevated to a sweeping epic tragedy. One that even knowing the end going into it was no less worth experiencing.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

I guess GW's marketing is now throwing money at pro wrestling? From their instagram wtf..

View attachment 5985907

This is probably one of the first times I can recall GW doing any real amount of advertising outside of their own stores/website/LGS/etc other than the occasional random board game that ends up at a Target or Barnes & Noble.

This will be pure unadulterated cringe from beginning to end.

So Trench Crusade's discord is actually the discord for 28 Magazine, a little indy zine covering Tabletop stuff. And they're woke as fuck. So to quote someone on twitter, "the wokies took control of the community and didn't have to move a finger."

28 Mag is... well, your bog standard leftycuck shit. The latest issue contains an essay on the importance of Female Space Marines for diversity equity inclusion and representation, as well as the results of a kitbash and art contest. As far as anyone can tell (they're obviously not talking to anyone) the 28Mag admins are mass banning anyone they can tell came from "Chudhammer" or even mentioned disagreements or opposition to shit like this:



Anyway, long story short, several people in the community found they were banned out of the blue, some even AFK at the time, and when people asked why people were being banned, they were banned or told the users were insulting other users. At the end they posted a literal "ya'll can't behave" and locked the server and started mass banning people about an hour ago.

Hopefully Trench Crusade can recover from this, but as of right now the community came pre-infested. We'll have to see how things go.

Entire community is infested honestly, and not even in the good Nurgle-ish way. Even /tg/ jannies are cracking down on anything anti-trans. TTD.

Like I said before, tabletop roleplaying and wargaming spaces have been infested up to the neck by lefties since a good number of them were DnD gamers who were literally demonized by the religious right 40 years ago, and a good number of them never forgave that.

So of course, they'd support every leftie ideal that comes along, from LGBTQ plus, to third-wave feminism. And ''tradcaths'' are not welcome among their ranks. At best, they'll tolerate such people if they shut up and play the game, at worst, they'll see them as invaders and do their best to toss them out.

It was the suits who were the most tolerant of right-wingers since they brought in good money, but now that they have paypigs who buy no matter what, as well as progressive investors who encourage ban-happy behavior, prepare to see right-wingers getting kicked out of a lot of online platforms talking about these gaming spaces, especially when the corporate owners and many of the fans and customers don't like them.

 

[TheCrackMonkey]

Nah, they'll just say something along the lines of the Custodes armor being unisex, so you can't tell the difference between men and women underneath that armor. This isn't the Mandalorian where women Mandos have boob-armor. Last thing they want is to make female Custodes into sexy muscle mommies, since that WOULD piss off the feminists in their ranks. They already hate the Sisters of Battle and other female 40K models for being too sexy.

I've seen more than my fair share of feminists in the past, decrying the Sisters of Battle and other female 40K units for being too ''sexy'', hence why they want female Space Marines who just look like men but with female faces.

If GW does end up crossing the Rubicon and introduces fem marines then I'll laugh my ass off if a civil war breaks out between coomers who'll view them as nothing more than jerkoff material and puritanical leftists for the reason you mentioned.

The latter will likely have the advantage, because GW will probably take the lazy road and just have female heads for male space marine and Custodes models, kind of like this.

They wouldn't want flak from feminists who bitched about boob-armor in the Mandalorian, so the coomers will be left with nothing but fanart hentai of dommy-mommy marines and custodes. The puritanical leftists have a lot of power in media companies these days, and GW, whether out of activism or laziness, won't bother to create a female Space Marine/Custodes armor that's non-sexualized, because it's just easier to take a man's armor and slap a woman's face on it and call it a day.

The saddest thing about all of that? Women in the military who have actually worn armor were all "Yeah, you kinda need to make room for those in there," when the feminists started bitching about a very slight, reasonable, practical curve to it.

I agree but I think its not just laziness I think they (GW) doesn't really want to have an argument at all, and they no its a lose lose know matter they do, A large group of long time whales will get mad. I think GW will end the offer female marine heads in the model kits as a build option, but won't change the lore any way. Basically " the option is there for those who want it but doesn't change anything."
But speaking of the puritanical left I'm not a 40k player I Play AOS mainly and some old world, but i'm shocked the "i hate hot women" feminist didn't went after the Daughters of Khaine army model designs/art yet assuming if they ever did.
