Warhammer 40k

[daniel day]

I wonder if i should hold off on buying anything until 11th edition?

The only questions you should ask when buying into warhammer is "is there anyone to play against" and "do I like these people."

If you want to play the game of Warhammer 40k, or any variation of a wargame or skirmish game, you need opponents that you can stand. Maybe you like the game so much you're willing to go out of your way, but chances are not. If you're not already neck deep then its going to be a huge hassle on top of all the other huge hassles it is to actually get to the stage of playing the game. I would find a local game store that has regular players and sit in on a few games, learn the local's names, even better find a friend thats interested and go in on a launch box/starter box with them.

The Kill Team starter box is apparently pretty solid, and Barnes and Nobles sells a smaller (10 models instead of 14 and a few less terrain pieces) KT starter set for like 50$.

Dont let that discourage you from buying models. Buy the models you want, because if you cant use them for themselves you can certainly proxy them as something else later. Buy to paint and build, maybe start off with a box of Horus Heresy marines. You get 20 for 80$, and can realistically use them in any SM army. WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is for niggers and faggots.

But if you're more interestes in the game and you havent played these kinds of games before go onto Tabletop Simulator and run one with someone you know. Its infinitely cheaper and easier. Warhammer and wargaming can be a HUGE commitment, especially if you want to get up to playing 2000 point games.

Tl;dr go find a friend and start small. Kill Team, 11th edition launch box, or combat patrol. Buys what looks cool and temper your expectations.

Chaos Daemons are probably just going to be shifted over to the Mono Chaos God Marine codices and cease to exist as their own faction,

I don't believe Undivided daemons as an army are going anywhere despite what people have been saying for about a year. Belakor almost assuredly guarantees they will exist through Shadow Legion or some other form, I presume rolled into generic CSM. The biggest concern would be what happens to the named characters, as you are'nt allowed to take any in SL.

You should get stuff you personally enjoy to build, paint, and lastly play with.

The reason is that unless you are the kind of person who really enjoys playing a lot of warhammer/kill team multiple times per month, most of the time you spend with your army will be building and painting it, and even then by the time you start and finish building and painting a kill team (or even worse, a 40k army) the rules will more than likely have changed, so you are really better off picking up minis you will actually enjoy the whole way through.

All that said, if you want to dip your toes very cheaply the 40k introductory set comes with a bunch of minis (space marines + nids), some paints and tools for building them, making it a good starting point for all the hobbying for very cheap, since those sets are usually sold at a loss to bring people in. Other options would be looking at a kill team you enjoy, since they are (most of the times) a good value compared to getting a unit of something and they can also be used as a start off point to a bigger army.

one fucking job, they had

 

[winderson_silva]

we can turn women and children into drugs and have them eat them but raping just the women is really bad, m'kay

Reminds me of the shit a Slaaneshi warlord does in Master's Bidding. It involves mutilating 2 twins so that each loses a sense the other retains; thus, they can barely guide each other.

Don't make me tap the sign!

At first, I thought the last at the right was the Philippine flag.

Warlord Atrocitus will enslave and murder, but he will never, ever be racist.

 

[Snekposter]

>The Iron Warriors have a Warsmith named Kravek and a Warsmith named Kraverek in current lore
Not confusing at all.

Path of the Warrior has a Striking Scorpion character named Arha, not to be confused at all with Arhra.

Really what they should do is just do their books as print on demand after the initial run that sells out. Gives people access to the older books, avoids people being unable to get something like the guardsman's primer if they missed the first 30 seconds it was on sale, etc. But leaving money on the table is something GW has been great at for years.

You're welcome

I miss when the Alpha Legion all went under the knife to look like Alpharius. That being said, this would've been a nice art piece if not for Alffreeshus

Rules change but models stay forever. A big reason why I'm going ultramarines is because I love the way they look on my shelf. I'd suggest going slow and picking what you think looks cool,

That's fair. Dude at the Warhammer store was suggesting models and he said Eldar or Tau and I gave him a look.

I might pull the trigger on Black Templars. They're one of my favorite non-founding chapters.

Wow, I am so glad the asshole double-triple crosser agent legion is racially inclusive.

"I don't care what they say in the lore, Alpharius was an African woman with dreads"

Making space marines multiracial, based on todays races, was always retarded.

Didn't they make an Asian Space Wolf?
Different skin colors can make sense, that there are all modern races present on Fenris, and they all have the same culture and never mixed enough to become a homogeneous population is retarded.

Especially since that's supposed to be what happened on Terra, at least according to old lore. Everyone on Terra had that weird tan skin tone the emperor had by the time the great crusade started because of intermixing of races

I remember that during Unification, the old races still existed, for example that Africans still exist, and there was an African marine in Horus Rising, and the Emperor's children are supposed to be European stock.

Terra is one thing however, the colonies are another. And remember, they are already 10k years old by the time of 30k, and started out with a smaller settler stock, who of course would have mixed together. What I could believe is that some colonies were majority one race or another, so that one world is mainly European or Asian descended, others more mutted brownoids.

Big E is too old to be a good example, he was born in the neolithic era or something.

This first part is what I thought happened but GW is gay and keeps changing shit.

As for Big E the reason I mentioned him was because I thought he could change his appearance so he made himself look like what the majority of Terra's population looked like after he left to unify the planet

I could be wrong though

A good rule of thumb is if its written by mike brooks its complete non canon. Probably the worst thing to ever happen to Black Library

 

[augment]

Not worse than CS Goto. Not by a mile.

 

[Professor Donger]

For those that play kill team, only found his channel on accident but he seems okay. Makes some cringe jokes in some of his videos though

It’s so good every warband of hell-damned traitors has a plucky human female “who’s just one of the guys” and isn’t treated like garbage.

I can’t believe I’m invoking a positive example from ADB, the pusher of this cliche, but remember the Red Corsai navigator? That was literally a caged animal that had devolved into a fish? Or Pert and the boys caging their navigators?

Yeah, these posthuman warriors will totally treat mortals as equals. Because you can be a murderous cutthroat, but you will respect women.

Are we pretending Solomon Akurra is a new character, or are we just mad he's a nigger? I'm confused. Either way he's a boring character. I want more Deathrow.

It was never all of them, though. It was mostly the inner circle(Pech, Herzog, Ranko, Silonius, Dynat and someone else) with a smattering of others through the Legion. You're literally falling for in-universe myth
