Hammer and Bolter kind of did that already by portraying them as perfectionists who more or less get off on combat more than anything else.

The Codex Astartes does not support this action... But I am looking forward to it.

Also, FUCK YOU LEANDROS YOU GODDAMN NO FUN ALLOWED FAGGOT. Don't you dare think about bitching me out as potentially tainted after Calgar himself vouched for me, Chaplaincy or no you perpetually ass-mad loser.

It would actually make sense to assign him as an Chaplin for an extremely specific contingency.

They will get their vidya villian moment when there are minis to sell, if I were to wager, their personality and demeanour is gonna be “pompous nobles hopped up on rock and roll”

There’s not gonna be daemon sex, despite it being canonized in the recent novel, no mention of what they do to their captives and they’re probably gonna get the DG treatment and become a joke. All grimdark removed for “muh silly rockstars” just like “muh funny nurglings”

This was from a Helldivers 2 thread funnily enough, figured I'd post this here anyway. Was a surprisingly decent thread shitting on both games and their issues. SM2 is currently mostly positive but I'm not currently counting it right now until it fully releases, I expect "mixed." Surprise EOS is a deal breaker for me, this just adds on to it. Funny how despite Steam absolutely clowning on Epic Games with EG's only real "one up" (if you can call it that) is Fortnite, companies still use EOS. Probably the same reason for EG year long exclusives, they were paid directly.

Ah, someone already mentioned it. Like I said, deal breaker. Even more of a a reason to pirate it, though I was looking forward to the multiplayer.

Much as I think preorders are retarded and so are the people who support them, thank you for your sacrifice and self-aware.

Sounds pretty on-brand for Imperial Guard, tbh.

The imperial guard is 10 times more efficient than space marines for every imperial guard regiment created you can create maybe one or two space marines.
If they took away the space marine budget and gave it to the imperial guard and the imperial Navy we won't be having these problems space marines are a giant waste of money.

Also the orcs need better representation in the novels especially Squiggoth when you just one of them smashing straight through an imperial hive cities walls that would be a cool idea.
As much as I like the guard I'm really tired of reading 900 separate guard novels.
Also way to epically fail in Commissar the sexy female, sorry idea you just had to make her this unattractive man face

Yeah, but in terms of weaponry, the IG doesn't have much going for them that isn't armor or the odd lascannon
 
The game can't install epic if you install with your net cable pulled out!

Eh, I’m having fun and I got the weekend off, didn’t even plan it that way. I’m headed north for a bit after Tuesday so my hand was kinda forced. If some kiwis get some honest coverage then it wasn’t a total waste.

Operations is the meat and if those ruskies have any brain cells they’d better get more cooked up.

Possibly, I could still see them at least doing schizos that mutilate captives to make them more “perfect” at a minimum though. I think they can be pretty horrific without even focusing on the sexual aspects
 
I wasn't that interested but you faggots are getting my hopes up enough to try the "demo". If it gets traction it can be a mod dream as well.

I mean, has nothing to do with wokestuff when your game costs 40$, the character designs are "meh" at best, its not well balanced, has 2 gamemods AND it came out right at the cusp when anyone barely cares about Hero Shooters, specially when you still have TF2 or even Overwatch 2 and both are F2P.

The game being slow and boring did not help, but you are deluding yourself if you think fat ugly autist and fat latina girlboss was not woke out of the ass and not an instant repellent for any sane human being.

Not saying it would have succeeded but had it had the laziest Genshin Impact waifu designs instead, I bet you it would have lived more than 10 days for sure.

Well... 40k has always been extremely retarded when it comes to scale. "10 marines can conquer a planet", OK, but how? The moment you think of logistics you notice how incredibly stupid that is, that 10 marines, 8 with bolter, 1 with a plasma gun and 1 with a lasscannon ain't conquering a planet anytime soon and are completely unable to hold ground in any meaningful manner, no matter how unstoppbale they are for the locals.

But the fantasy of it is metal as fuck and that's why you turn off your brain to it. From a practical standpoint, marines are an incredibly waste of resources better spent on better tech for guard. But then it wouldn't be 40k if it wasn't absurdly over the top.
 
So lore question fighting the nids: wouldn't it always be better to try to take them out in space? Or is it too hard and it's better to try to waste as much of their resources on the ground as possible until they all die or leave?

It takes an lot of firepower to take out an Nid fleet that's more or less incredibly mobile and doesn't care about the loss of it's "crew." The Imperial Navy can technically outgun it at longer range with an macrocannon or some shit. Only hard part is actually finding them at range or dealing with the genestealers who are making the problem worse on an interstellar scale.

But an ground assault is basically an net loss until they start transferring biomass into space.

They do. The Word Bearers trilogy actually shows them doing a limited evacuation of a world in the sights of a Hive Fleet, before mercy-killing all the biomass left behind via bombardment.

Problem is, you can’t do that all the time, especially on key worlds that either sit in major systems, home worlds or forge worlds.

Good 40k fiction with the Tyranids will have them swarming a world the Imperium can’t destroy (Macragge) and then depicting to resulting metal war against locust-xenomorph-dinosaurs, as Space Marine 2 has done. Tyranids are much harder to fight than the Thousand Sons.

I remember it was the Lucius novel that detailed the poor fucks whose fluids they drain for meth are in a Matrix-style pod and simulation. The token human was in the simulation, meets a cute girl with distinctive eyes, gets pulled out cause the marines need to talk to him, he gives them what they want and he sees one of the tubes and a withered husk of a woman has the same eyes.

That’s also the novel that has an EC terminator whose sole life ambition was to get terminator armor, but he’d never qualify in the legion days. So now after countless betrayals and schemes, including willingly becoming a sorcerer’s Igor, he has a full suit……… and its machine spirit hates him due to the suit being cobbled together.

EC are simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.

That's not how it works. Chaplains are appointed based on their purity and zeal to watch over the spiritual well-being of their battle-brothers, to act as inspiration, and to lead in the performance of the Chapter's sacred rites and ceremonies, which annoyingly are all things that asshole would be good at. Too good at. They are essentially the "Space Book say this Bad" meme made flesh. If Chairon and Gadriel ever learn what he did to Titus they'd be calling up the Angry Marines to ask if they could borrow a couple sets of Power Boots.

Yeah, but it felt like they just gave him that promotion as an consolation just to keep people silent about Titus (somehow) being immune to Warp bullshit. And the fact that he hates everyone equally enough to take on that job.
