Lmao and it was an accurate description since the not forseen extended holdout did make them win in the long run against overwhelming odds, gigacucked, but its Wikipedia, its expected

He looks more like early transition Jim Sterling to me.
I agree but for different reasons.
Grimdark is an aesthetic more than a list of requirements. Evil supernatural elements can work as part of a grimdark setting (Hellgate London springs to mind). The problem with grimderp is that it's basically misery porn.
Are they consooming it though? As we saw with discount Jim Sterling they aren't really interested beyond the idea of it as fedora tipping fanfiction.
I'd say $1.8 million on a kickstarter that asked for $66k, is consooming, especially since half of 'em bought into it for minis and not just rules and supporting it.

tbh my friend has a 3d printer, I might snag some of those minis to use as Chaos cultists. Having to convert guardsmen/the Krieg kill team to satisfy my craving for chaos isn't enough. For all their retardation, the minis ARE very beautiful. Hopefully someone leaks the STL files.

Currently on the fence between getting a helbrute or a daemon prince. I like the rules for the helbrute but I kinda only tolerate the model and its the inverse for the daemon prince.
I also kinda have half an idea for a kitbash with a contemptor dreadnought and the left over leg bits from the lord on juggernaut

Daemon Prince, you get a lot more parts, god marks, heads, spikes, limbs and lower legs which you can install on a contemptor down the line.
The only good thing about the Helbrute is the heads.

Just getting into kill team, what options from the inquisitor box should I build first? I got a box of necromunda scum guys to fill out what I can't build without a second box

Personally, outside your mandatory skull and interogator, I'd build pistolier, hexorcist, mystic, autosavant, and plasma servitor. if you are going to use the box of hive scum I imagine you could build one of all the options, though you'd need to figure out something for another servitor for a full team

Possibly outdated advice, but choose model every time. Rules change, so unless you fancy yourself as a top tier tournament player, going for models is pretty much always preferable because, even if the rules change, you can still enjoy them.
I'm still catching up on my 40k, and I've started getting videos from 2-4 years ago complaining about how right-wing 40k is, how GW isn't doing enough to keep the nazis out, and wanting GW to basically turn 40k into a communist tranny utopia. Even Arbitor Ian (which was recommended here seems to have a back catalogue of videos sperging about "the far right" and how "humanity aren't the good guys".
Speaking of which, the Pariah Nexus storyline starts off interesting, but seems to have gone a bit Marvel.

Rick Priestley the creator of 40K has stated several times that humanity are 100% justified in their actions against the heretic the zeno and the witch and the mutant

He does mention that. Not Rick Priestley specifically, but that GW (no name given) has put out official statements saying humanity is the bad guys, but everything in the lore justifies the imperium's actions, and that's no good because it makes look like fascism might be justified sometimes and corporate statements can be ignored. His suggestion to fix this is basically to return to rogue trader lore which was a parody of 80s and 90s British conservatism.
One related argument he makes goes back to what I felt earlier. He says that the lore should go back to focusing on the fringes of the galaxy, so that he can homebrew his own factions and lore, specifically adding a Star Wars style rebel alliance and Firefly. Back in my day when going to GW was uphill both ways, that was kind of the point.
At the same time, he complains that Star Wars is problematic because it makes it seem like the heroes are in the right instead of beating the audience with the "war bad" stick like Star Trek does. I have to question what these people want, as it sounds like they want a grimdark war game that has no grimdark or war in it. What are they supposed to do? Hold hands with orks and tyrannids and talk about how heckin valid they are?

Again Rick Priestley creator of warhammer 40K is repeatedly saying along with most of the other creators of the original system who walked there for about 20 years afterwards that it has nothing to do with parody it's not satire it is literally just a game setting for a tabletop game there is no satire there is no parody it is literally not that deep
anyone who reads anything in the fluff about what xenos, the warp/psykers/witches and mutants do to regular humans on the reg should be 100% ok with extermination.
That the imperium is terrible to regular humans is commentary that as bad as the imperium is, the alternative is much worse. Of course that's not endorsement but retards (and babies) cannot distinguish that from mere depiction. It's like they lack mental object permanence, if something isn't blaring what they should think at all times they are afraid.

I stumbled into the FAQ of 1d6 chan and it's gay as fuck:
The important thing is that they'll decry the Adeptus Mechanicus being fearful of progress as them being backwards, while having just as empty ideological reasoning why AI bad.

Apologies again if I'm asking a bunch of noob questions.
How is the META decided? And do you guys think every 40k setting or event need to be feature all factions?
I'm not someone who chases the meta. When I started posting/reading this thread regularly, I mentioned starting a guard army built around various third party infantry kits I like. From what I read elsewhere on the internet, infantry guard was not really viable, you had to go tank guard if you wanted to not get instantly wiped. Infantry guard won a tournament, and the comments were interesting, one saying Aquilons were for scrubs, while another wanted to build an infantry Kreig list. Granted, the video just came out so I don't know if this sentiment would hold, but that seems a bit of a dumb way to decide the meta if it's based purely on which faction won a recent tournament. It also seems like an easy thing to counter. Just bring anti-horde weapons.
The other thing I wanted to ask about is some random videos and comments complaining about Horus Heresy. The complaint that "it's just space marines" I get, but there are other factions like militia and admech, so you don't have to play SM (though I'd argue you should). I don't agree with the idea that other factions like Eldar, Orks, and Necrons should be included. I understand that they were around, but the game is about the Horus Heresy. It would be like having a new space hulk, and someone going "but I play imperial knights. I should have rules and a new model line for the game too!".
If you really want to play heresy era necrons, either homebrew some rules or play any of the other editions of the game. My understanding is that HH is just 7th+, so maybe the codex would be compatible?

Usually META is basically a combination of the needed units+detachment. An you essentially get this combo that will almost always nail you wins. For example, until the ORKS rules were revised, the meta for them was Green Tide because all the upgrades centered around regular ork boy troops, all ork boy units got +5 invul save and the various strategemes allowed ya to bring back units, get closer into combat and so forth.
