Warhammer 40k

[Buckaroo]

What's this about them squatting a bunch of Imperial Guard variants in the new codex? I haven't bothered to find a PDF of it yet, but I'm hearing they're trying to reduce the guard line to just the Cadian / Krieg versions, maybe 1 or 2 more on top of them. (It's possible I misunderstood a shitpost, however, so...)

The generic infantry and command squads got removed and the generic heavy weapon team is now the Cadian heavy weapon team. Also Catachan got their own HWT and command squad data sheets.

I recall the rumor the Red Scorpions are like that and why they have so many apothecaries is because they're potentially made from the Emperor's Children gene seed

Maybe, but being honest, It would be funnier if they arent, and just are the result of homeworld culture. After all, not all Ultramarines descendent chapters are the same logical bunch, you got feral cavemen and celtic inspired chapters from their stock.

Wat?

DC Comics put out an official Harley Quinn fart fetish comic, with scratch and sniff. I mentioned it because that's the lengths they have to go to for even outrage bait YouTube channels to so much as glance in their general direction. The US comics industry has gone from an evergreen multi generational empire to being so dead that it might never recover.

Also think they should do a guard game it's a turn based strategy something like Fire Emblem advanced war where you're encouraged to keep your troops alive but you still can just get more and more cannonball if you want

Battlesector just released guard DLC, it's not well balanced from the steam comments.

Gladius also has guard faction, but thats Civ like on hexes.

Instead of having a generic infantry squad, GW listed three different squads based on the kits they sell; Cadian, Catachan, and Krieg. Each unit has different abilities to represent their tactics. It’s not that they are removing Guard variants in the lore, it’s just another case of the rules have to match the models they sell.

So they fucked it up. Got it.

They'll probably get a kill team next year to replace them like how GW updated cadians and krieg initially, then a full set of releases in 11th.

Removing generic infantry units sucks but the upside is that mayyyyybe they will introduce or reintroduce other unique units.

I dont dislike the idea of removing generic units but only if there is more choice as to line infantry. Each line infantry unit will have a different thematic ability for choice. But thats good when there is 5+ choices, not 3.

GW has probably done this to get more people to buy Krieg (not that THAT was ever in doubt) and in 6-12 months introduce another unit.

Fuck sake the Kreig box is awful and the codex is just ass too. 10th just feels like a series of false promises and hype.

What the fuck it's real.

The Protoss Dragoon is sorta like the StarCraft equivalent of the Dreadnought. They even sorta sound the same.

 

[demicolon]

Starcraft blatantly ripped off Warhammer 40k.

Starcraft blatantly ripped off Warhammer 40k.

StarCraft was initially going to be a 40K game but GW got cold feet and pulled out part way through the project. Blizzard made some changes and a Koreans wet dream was born.

Don't worry, we'll get female death guard from GW soon enough.

The dude involved is active on twitter IIRC, and it's a masterclass in both trying to pretend there's nothing sexual about his fetish comic and trying to get you to enter his magical realm at the same time. The fact that DC let this happen means that either the trolls are now actively targeting the big two to make them look stupid (since the fart fetish shit is basically the same thing the troons and dykes did to Marvel/DC already, only their fetish was lesbians and transsexuals), or they've lost control to the point that someone was able to push his disgusting fetish comic onto the property and NO ONE caught it or was able to stop it.

Spoiler: Magical realm, if you don't get the reference.

It'd be like there officially being Female Custodes made because someone has a muscle mommy fetish, or some Chaos Space Marine chapter making some sort of living nightmare of a bio-womb to create aspirants for new marines. Thank god the 40k setting is immune to such fuckery.

Personally, I could see the plagiarism going either way (possibly even both.)
I'm skeptical about "Starcraft was originally going to be a WH40K game" - the more often cited factoid is that an early Warcraft prototype was pitched to Games Workshop as a licensed Warhammer Fantasy video game. According to this story, it was either rejected outright, or GW demanded too tight of a licensing agreement from Blizzard.

 

[Male Idiot]

Zerg maybe a Nid ripoff, but both are a rip off of the og alien that spawned all the gross bioconstruct aliens.

Giger's phallic creation spread its seed far and wide, down every franchise's throat and out of their stomachs.

I read that was just a rumor.

StarCraft is Real Time Strategy video game, made by Blizzard. Despite being THE most balanced asymmetrical RTS ever and the South Korean national religion, StarCraft is most famous in neckbeard society for the "It's all stolen from WH40K" holy war.

Long story short, there are rumors, denied by both Blizzard and GW, that StarCraft was initially developed as a WH40K game, until GW for some retarded reason rescinded their permission to use the 40K universe (like they don't want a part of the bazillion tons of money Blizzard tend to earn for their gamesback then PC gaming was something only a handful of nerds did, compared to consoles, and Blizzard wasn't an established powerhouse, yet; 1998 was the year PC gaming started booming with HL, SC, etc.).

40k is a blatant Mega crossover fanfic, 90% ripped off from 2000 AD, Dune, Foundation, Doom, Alien, Starship Troopers, Star Wars, 1984, Event Horizon, Hyperion (not this one), H.P. Lovecraft, J. R. R. Tolkien, Paradise Lost, Anime about Mecha and so on, all pasted straight onto Warhammer Fantasy anyway.
