Warhammer 40k

[p1138]

They kind of remind me of Terminator T-800's. The wiki says they are alien humanoid skeletal robots. If they are aliens and robots, it makes me wonder who built them and why did they use a humanoid configuration?

I don't know much about the lore other than basic stuff. I just play the games.

Looking like terminators with their we'll be back reanimation was the point originally.

Now, it's the biofurnaces that did it and most things in 40k(the game) are humanoid anyway(orks, eldar, tau, votann, a large number of chaos daemons, etc.), and the lore(this is covered in infinite and divine) is that apparently their memories may have been fucked with in the biofurnaces(there was a c'tan referred to as the deceiver afterall) or just due to entropy over time ruining their memory, they don't know what they previously looked like and no examples exist so necron characters(the necrodermis is still basically liquid metal) just defaults to whatever their equivalent of a brain thinks they should look like.

Whats the consensus on Grey Knight refresh or not?

Throwing my hat into the ring to say it probably wont happen at all.
- Most of the range is plastic
- There are lore reasons not to Primaris them
- Not popular enough
- Space Marine but not generic like intercessors to sell to 10 armies.

Im starting to think that both GK and IF (who are getting something around that time) are getting characters in plastic and thats it at this stage. GK players will continued to be edged on the prospect.

It will probably happen at some point, but I don’t think this edition. SW range refresh is probably the extent of what marine sub-factions will see in terms of refreshes this edition. Plus if they were going to do a GK refresh they would have teased more at that preview when they showed the codex and the baby carrier.

I’m more interested to see what the codex complaint chapters end up getting. They’ve teased them for a while now, with sallies being first iirc and pretty soon. Are they really going to try another edition where each codex compliant chapter gets its own book? It never seems to work out if my memory of 8th (and arguably 7th tho that was a single book for all of them) serves me properly.

So, started listening the "Prophet of the Waagh!!" book, which is basically about Makari getting caught and telling some Inquisitors about Ghaz and his rise to power and fame. Gotta say, it's pretty interesting so far just for having a Blood Axe clan make an appearance, but also Makari explaining how he'd get reincarnated each time after his death. Almost like he and Ghaz share this weird connection, also kinda shows Ghaze being really charismatic in a way.

Should I buy the Age of Darkness box?

I was interested in AoD box mainly for the minis. My goal would be to build the 3rd edition SM army I could never afford as a kid. Or at least as close to it as is reasonable with modern kits. eg. Things like the Baal Predator and SM bikes no longer exist. The AoD box would get me there and then some.

The problem is I'd likely never get to play HH or 3rd or 5th edition. So it's a lot of money that could be used on many other things, such as a computer. I'm also not super FOMO because everything can be got seperately. Mk7s are cheap enough alone, and I should have a 5th edition Battleforce painted as Iron Hands somewhere. I think it was this, but don't remember the rhino or assault marines.



While I don't have a specific list in mind, it's basically your bog standard "start collecting" type force. Some tac squads with beaky helmets were possible, a dreadnaught, some terminators, and maybe some Land Speeders or veterans.

- There are lore reasons not to Primaris them

I don't think that matters much.

NGL I get not being able to play earlier editions anymore. I'm buying all the stuff I need to finish my WFB 6th edition army knowing full well it will never see the table. It's the same with the 4th Ed lost and the damned army I want to build. I already have a box of the last CSM and a giant chaos spawn while I eye up buying a second for the squad of three I want to use. I wish Warhammer players had the same attitude towards older editions that ttrpg players have for their chosen system.

If you are using Mk7, it has to be Siege of Terra era Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, or White Scars. They are the only legions that had it, and specifically for test purposes.

Never going to happen, but a Hrud vs Slaugth kill team box would be a dream come true. An Xv15 team would be great as well

If Hitler and Stalin lived in M30, which legion would they be a part of?

I find it really funny that the second dad goes to the basement to work on his model trains, shit hits the fan. Especially in the case of the, “Well that escalated quickly Primarchs.”

The prodigy who was about to major in medicine at 16 scores for the first time, gets into an occult, tatoos, punches the dean, declares that science is "no future", loses scholarship and gets a sex change while the "love of his life" drains his (yours) bank account in the background.

For the purity of his genes, Hitler would be an Ultramarine. For making the Iron Curtain and for purging the Soviet army, hate to say it since it's my favorite legion, but Stalin would be an Iron Warrior.

Big Nigga Hitler is obvious. Between his bitter seething and victimhood obsession and his failed artistic endevours he would 100% be Iron Warrior

Stalin's paranoia and love of purging allies make me think Dark Angels, especially since the Dark Angels fucked up big time early in the Heresy by trusting the Iron Warriors (and thus Hitler) and handing them a pile of superweapons

I've had a fun time just hunting Ebay and Troll Trader to finish my 3rd edition blood angels.

And yet only Perty could match Stalin's fondness for meatwave troop deployments and acceptance of massive casualties.

Does this surprise you? TTS was one of the most embarrassingly unfunny works of Reddit drivel ever spawned by the Internet.

Before they started wasting time and ideas on shorts, making the main series move at a snails pace with story devolving into something fanfiction-tier, TTS was excellent. By the time they were in Commoragh it was so bad, I was glad they axed it. It was like watching grown men play with paper dolls at this point.

I do find it amusingly ironic that when the series started the setting had been fucking stagnant and stuck in some pre/early 13th Black Crusade purgatory for near twenty years, only to randomly fucking jump back to life and start rapid story progression midway through its runtime

Honestly I suspect that they threw in the towel as much from having their OG fanfic concept for the story progression and conclusion become hilariously outdated overnight as from GW's legal rapist team dragging them away for a few sessions in the buggery dungeon.

Hitler and the Nazis would be Dark Angels. All the conspiracies, WW2 survivors are basically The Fallen, and Neo Nazis are the successor chapters.

Somehow they made Urist McDwarf boring when he popped in for his cameo.

They ran out of ideas and their idiot fans were content with giving them money for nothing. IIRC many other WH40k parody channels at the time were perfectly fine and unmolested by GW despite the panic?

It is kinda absurd to think they ran out of ideas given how the whole thing started off and gained its initial popularity from shamelessly ripping off 1d4chan articles surmising various topics/factions/events in 40k lore with jokes and meta commentary. Like that shit could have been mined for episodic content for decades even before Gorillaman woke up and everything started moving again

I mean I will even give the autists and fujo untermensch some credit, I think even they would have preferred anuddah "podcast" episode in which Ian Watson's infamous Space Marine novel wherin the sacred Imperial Fists poo poo eating ceremonies are discussed over melodramatic fanfiction of Lemon Russ and the Star Child rescuing fucking Jaghatai in Commorragh
