Warhammer 40k

[Rick The Stick]

Controversial, maybe, but I don't care much for power metal and I don't think it actually fits Warhammer. I like Sabaton though, most probably do.

Yarrick is back.

Maybe now people will shut up about their headcannon of "Ghaz will attack Angron to avenge his husbando" as if an Ork needs a deeper reason to fight one of the greatest enemies you can find. Ghaz's great Waaagh is much larger than Yarrick.

The model is cool tho.

Must be desperate now if they're just bringing in someone they pointlessly killed off in a paragraph and they're not replacing him with someone with a vagina. I suppose him being gay gave him a bit of plot armor

Any Sabaton fans in the thread? I put this song on this morning having never seen the video.

They're gaming, if you don't wanna watch it.

Yeah, there’s a lot of Sabaton in my painting and workout playlists. They’re 40k guys. “Birds of War” is literally about Chaos Space Marines.

Let me guess the chudhammers are complaining about the lack of Steel Legion in the trailer

 

[winderson_silva]

I mean, it is a trailer for Armageddon and there are only Cadians and Kriegers on it.

Let me guess the chudhammers are complaining about the lack of Steel Legion in the trailer

In all fairness from a lore perspective it does feel a little weird that the Armageddon Steel Legion don't appear at all in a video titled Return to Armageddon, which takes place on the titular planet Armageddon. Not hyperbolic "WARHAMMER HAS FALLEN" retardation weird, but still fairly odd.

From a business perspective GW probably didn't want to shell out to model and rig up 3d models for a regiment that they aren't selling any miniatures of. Kriegers and Cadians have both minis and 3d models from past animations (Pariah Nexus, 9e trailer, Kill Team trailer, Tithes, etc) so might as well use them instead.

 

[winderson_silva]

I wonder how much of the popularity of Kriegers are because you don't need to draw faces with full cover helmets

 

[iceteayo]

I think it’s mostly because it’s a cheap trailer with a lot of 3D asset reuse a long time cope is the steel legion redesign as seen in dark tide was revealed too early

 

[Bonesjones]

Krieg was a spinoff of Steel Legion that got more attention. The most I would expect is a made to order rerun of the old metal models like they are doing with the old marines currently on the website. I'm just waiting for the rules to drop so he's better in every way than Drier and cheaper to boot.

So, a non-bolter porn novel for once, sometimes you forget how much of an unexplored mine Warhammer remains despite being 39 years old.

When is that nigger gonna get around to writing Pandemonium?

It's been years since Bequin Book 2 released.

 

[winderson_silva]

When is that nigger gonna get around to writing Pandemonium?

I am pretty sure he already finished but GW didnt authorized the release.

 

[Shadowmän]

I know this is gonna sound like a meme lore question, but apparently is from a book, i Saw an art meme where a space marine grimaldius apparently had to endure bureaucratic work for 9 days and that apparently he had to endure the complains from traders, nobles and unions?

Which makes me question why is there unions on Warhammer 40k? And how do they work? I know is kinda a shit nobody cares about in general lore but honestly this type of niche lore thing is kinda why i like Warhammer 40k.

 

[Übertroon]

Even if they had the time and budget for it I doubt GW would be making a trailer with the chuddiest legion out there on full display killing savage hordes

I still think its becasue they dont give money for their animation shit as much, there was a lot of blatant model reuse even the orks were kommandos and Krieg are the go to chud regiment even with how much more blatant Steel Legion are with the designs.

However, Valrak says a new kit is not in the pipeline which fuckin sucks maybe its one of his rare mess ups but they really could have just paint those death korps a different color at the end of the day

 

[winderson_silva]

My favorite model reuse in 40K media is how the Battle Sister VR trailer used the exact same animations for the Brass Scorpion and Decimator as the mobile game Freeblade.
Classic GW.

 

[Buckaroo]

Yarrick is back.

I'm surprised it took this long. With how casually they announced his death I swore they were setting up a new model and a campaign book that reveals he survived.

chuddiest legion out there

are the go to chud regiment even with how much more blatant Steel Legion are with the designs.

No mention of the Praetorian Guard? Then again, in CY+1, these guys would make Leddit explode. Hell, chances are the Vostroyans and the Mordians are a big-nono, especially the latter.

Another regiment that would REALLY make reddit lose their shit would be the Arkan Confederates, an entirely CANON regiment inspired by the Confederated States of America.
