The Space Wolves are pretty much feudal (as in actual historical feudalism) overlords regarding their chapter serfs, complete with serfs serving as armed and trained security personnel and local guards.

Let's be real here: given they've got an entire fucking battlefleet to their name they've probably got enough "serfs" operating as trained naval personnel, security and boarding detachments, and serving as ranking officers to violate more than a few of the post-Heresy edicts on force separation. I went and double-checked and according to Wolf's Honor they explicitly prefer using humans instead of servitors as naval personnel.

Oh fuck off MajorFaggot you are the worst Australlian I have ever encountered. The David Attenborogh lore AI guy is amazing I use the shit to fall asleep to, it is so melodic that it makes a very good white noise whilst being interesting.

Tbh I don't follow any only the lore longlength guys there was this one I found where he talked about the process of becoming a chaos marine and that was dope. He is just trying to gatekeep but turn into a cow in the process because his income is floundering and that equals job time.

Because it flows, is informative, nice backgrounds. It’s really comfy because it captures the whole documentary feel.
 
I'm a casual faggot so I'm digging this Space Marine 2 game. I like slapping the tyranids around. Except when 3 warriors run a train on me or a lichter comes and wrecks my shit. Oh yeah, fuck zoanthropes and Chaos enemies.

Personally Arbiter Ian is the best for me because he actually show up his source on screen and is reading the books while making the video instead of just copying and pasting lexicanum.

His meta videos on the evolution of the lore are also great.

ive personally enjoy the Pontius (aka Danny Fortuna) does similar things to Ian in the sense that he shows his sources and corrects the wiki

I'm very interested in One Page Rules. It's even a large part of why I'm back in the hobby, even though the chances of finding players are slim. I don't want to annoy people here with it if it though. Another element is the abundance of cheap, but high quality minis from third party companies. Northstar and Wargames Atlantic (Frostgrave, Stargrave, Death Fields, Classic Fantasy, etc) in particular make great looking minis for a fraction of the price.

I also don't mind the break away to smaller games, if it's done with intent. 40k 2nd would be seen as a skirmish game these days. Unfortunately the decision seems to be driven more because he doesn't want to play wargames any more. He's like a games journalist in that sense.

My favorite one is Pete the Wargamer. Don't know if he has any controversies, just love watching him kitbash stuff.

That's the best part about Pete the Wargamer he just makes cool looking stuff and gives it a great looking paint job for the end of the video. His Raptors look awesome and he managed to make Dornian heresy look not cringe through hit conversion work.
 
Who was the guy who literally just read from the 40k wiki word for word and got a reasonably popular channel for it? I can't remember his name. But it's funny to think someone like Majorkill and his audience will bitch about stealing content when all they are doing is regurgitating the absolute coldest takes on the Warhammer lore and re-telling only the most popular stories in the setting. Wow a ten minute video on who the chaos gods are, how riveting Majorkill. Am I going to learn that Nurgle likes death and decay or that Khorne likes blood and skulls? Gee I sure hope so!

Honestly One Page Rules kind of deserves a lot of the hype. I don't want to over-sell it because I'm still just learning but right out the gate there is a lot to love about not just the rules but the business model. Rules are truly condensed and the game is yours. Warhammer will hold your hand every step of the way, but if you're a big boy and can handle not having your rules exactly laid out for you, the game can be whatever you want it to be. It's a game that feels like it lets you be good, instead of fighting against your own rules. The rules interactions are definitely less inspired, but that can also work in its favor since you aren't reading whole paragraphs to understand just one rule that your leader provides. It removes a lot of the feels bad dice rolling that shuts down Warhammer games. No rolling snake eyes to charge or giving up your shooting/actions just to move an extra inch.

OPR also has truly free rules. They just updated their rule book to 3.4 and decided to throw in like 20 extra pages of optional rules. The advanced rulebook is only $5 and is as up to date as they last time you printed it. No more $60 codices. Their army builder is honestly amazing. It's super easy to use and great for referencing your abilities during a game. Sure they intend for the game to be played with Warhammer models but they want you to print your own stuff instead of relying on a company like GW to charge you $85 for a model. I'm itching to play more of it with friends and start picking at the extra rules to see how it changes up our games.

I play Necron and Tau while my wife plays Tyranid so we don't have to worry about any of that crap. Though she's thinking about playing Orks because she thinks the whole colour thing is funny.

Maybe it's just me but doesn't it seem like women gravitate towards Orks and Tyranids a lot? Something about ugly monsters is "cute" to them. They're not buying Sisters of Battle or Femstodes.

Eh, you can search the thread for midwinter minis and see plenty of discussion about him, even fairly recently. I don't want to repeat it. It's a lot of whining, him cheating on his wife, crying about rent, begging for money for a house down payment, etc.

OneMindSyndicate. He's still crapping out almost a video a day at times just regurgitating bullshit to an audience of nothing, including digging up other people's fanfics to read. Rarely he'll get a video breaking 100k views now, even with that femstodes shit 6-7 months ago he got a whopping 7k views off of that with most of his shit being under 3k. I don't understand how or why he still bothers, guy usually can't get more than 1k subs a month, can't get half a million views a month with space marine 2 getting people looking up 40k shit. He's barely doing better than the lotara lore AI channel that majorkill bitched about.

I think it has something to do with how typical girls aren't the type to play games. These sorts of women will play more violent games on one end of the spectrum or go completely on the opposite and play some sort of management game. They often also enjoy sports like American Football or a real sport like hockey. The women that I know who play RPG's tend to go with Fighters, Druids, or Rogues. Fighters and Rogues because "omg kill everything in sight!". Druid because "omg look at the cute animal! It's going to eat you!"

My wife was all "lulz Mushrooms think red things go fast!" She was tipsy when I explained their lore to them.
 
Huh, apparently the person with the lotara lore channel did post regarding the majorfaggot video in a pinned comment here
Hey guys. I bet you've seen the video that majorkill made about me and well he's completely right about my Perturabo video. I Had no clue I would blow up this quickly and when making that video Ill admit that I did plagiarize and I will vow to never ever again do something as foolish and as stupid as copying someone else's points. As for the AI allegations. They are all false. I am a human being and tomorrow I will make a video that will disprove it once and for all. If any majorkill viewers see this please inform him that Im deeply sorry and ill never do what I did again. Besides the video on the Lord of Iron I made sure to painstakingly make my very own scripts and too delve deep in the lore to come to my own conclusions. I am not seeking forgiveness. The 12th legion deserves better. I am deeply sorry for what I did and I will never do it again. If you wish to abandon ship that's completely understandable. However the allegations of my being AI are completely false and I have proved it time and time again in my newer videos where I have constant mistakes however that seem to not be enough to Ill be back tomorrow with a full video addressing everything.

So they admit to having plagiarized majorkill's perturabo video, and claim they aren't AI and will prove it somehow.

Plagiarizing shit sucks however... majorkill basically does the same damned thing with his 3d printed minis and hentai, hasn't come up with a damned original thought at any point.
 
The SM2 subreddit is my new personal cow. They're always screaming about something, and now that the games been out for a bit the super casuals/new comers are learning that *gasp* 40K is mostly made up of Gatekeepers and sweatlords and they cannot cope with this.

There's an event this weekend that's giving a whopping 50% extra currency for missions. Not only is this a pretty negligible increase on its own, like most percentage based increases on low numbers, there's really not that much to spend the currency on unless you're going for completion and maxxing every single class and all of their weapons choices. Which means a lot of people already have no use for credits. And the casuals see this as people no-lifing the game are being very defensive over the suggestion that maybe these events should offer some sort of cosmetic instead, because that would trigger their dreaded and made up FOMO.

Idk how these are the same people who claim this game reminds them of the golden years of Xbox live and shit. As soft and insecure as they are I don't believe they were ever involved in the online communities back then. As soon as they started whining about gatekeeping or missing out on an item they'd be called faggots until they rage quit.

Well that's ok because RPS I guess took a fucking month to realize that the imperium of man is run by a bunch of fascist assholes...

No shit? But gamergate! And those damned trump voters! This is like when Extra Credits pulled that "and suddenly you're a nazi" bullshit.
 
Lord have mercy, I'm breaking my two year painting hiatus with some HH Dark angels. These kitbashed bros will be the plasma flamer guys. (WIP)

I was wondering, does the Imperium treat a planet's harmless or non-hostile fauna the same way it would dangerous xenos? Or does it only eradicate that which can pose a threat to human colonies?

Would it be heresy to, say, have a feudal world domesticate lower xenos as livestock or working animals? Or for a planet to just ignore wildlife that doesn't cause trouble?

I know "live and let live" isn't a thing in M41, and the Imperium has no qualms about ratfucking a planet's environment, but one would think they wouldn't waste resources on the xeno equivalents of squirrels or deer, unless grimderp dictates that all xeno life is inherently hostile.

The guard commonly rides xenos beasts because these are stronger than regular horses (heavily enhanged krieg horses dont count)
Normally xenos beasts are either livestock, or mount.
Meanwhile dangerous xenos lots of times arent exterminated, because the rich people want to see monsters fight, indeed, in universe the Rogue Trader writing Liber Xenologis blames mankind for spreading the Ambull (the huge motherfucker from Boltgun) across the galaxy, when it was confined to a single world.

The Space Marines occasionally uses them as part of their initiation rites. But that's from 2 Marvel Comics, the Space Wolf episode of Hammer & Bolter, the main selling point of the Salamanders, Catachan...

But anyways, it usually creates some hardened people who are perfectly willing to kill shit
