Warhammer 40k

Astartes is going official.

"Hey, you guys know that dude who made amazing animations that got millions of views and gave us the best free advertising we've ever had? Well lets hire him!"
That's actually a good idea!

"Lets also make him remove his videos from the biggest, most frequented website in the world and only put them on our own site where only our already established fans will see them!"
And thus begins the inevitable string of bad decisions right out of the fucking gate. Because GW is GW and GW just cant help but unload the entire mag of a storm bolter into their fucking feet.

Replies are cancer, of course. But they're also bait, cause anyone laughing at them will be used as evidence as to why the hobby absolutely needs female space marines and to ostracize the guys funding the game through plastic crack addiction.

There's a lot more -- 773 replies, these are just the first two dozen or so, with the female space marines / custodes picked out. Note that out of 7 people trolling for attention, only 1 has a female name -- and she's a troon.

But yeah. It's all Bait. Bonus points to the smartasses posting Necrons in the replies, though.

Anyone name vehicles? I know we’re all about “your guys” but how about “your carz” cause I’m building a badass Land Raider for my Word Bearers and I named it.

Can't say that I have.

There's an old white dwarf showcase where a dude had all his vehicles named. I'm going to see if I can find it.

I've seen people with vehicle models usually having some form of identifier, an icon or a marker that was meant to be painted on. I'd guess Word Bearers would slap a malevolent sounding pseudo latin High Gothic name onto their vehicles.

The tank I’m building is the “Iaconus Ex Infernal” a Land Raider bound with the spirit of a Flesh Hound.

It’s also got half an offlined Necron in it..... who’s wearing lipstick....... Brother Vasto takes his Slaaneshi worship very seriously.

Really odd how its that Commissar Lady, Celestine, and......Morathi the power hungry lady who leads a murder cult who recently in AoS took over a free city killed almost all of the non-dark elf residence and perma-kills stormcasts (this entire thing is actually rampant in AoS since like almost everyone has a perma stormcast killer). Even worse the recent DoK battletome has a story where the Sigmar found out about the city falling. He then sends in the first Stormcast ever made the Celestent Prime who many think is Karl. They talk for 3 days and all Stormcast are TOLD TO LEAVE as no one knows what kind of deal she made with sigmar but it must have been something worthwhile to let a city fall entirely over it.

At this point I think GW knows the distaste for Stromcasts so they just do not like giving victory moments at risk of blacklask of "mary sue".

I know how to get girls into Warhammer....

I named my Vindicators ("Victrix" and "Fulminata") and I'll probably name my Sicarans when I'm done painting them.

Since I am playing Raptors I thought about buying an Impulsor or Gladiator so the idea of Gothic Callsigns has crossed my mind. Things like "God-Killer" or "Saints Tears"

Who knows how far this stuff has been pushed back and why can’t they just implement something with the app instead of this book shit.

They obviously want to sell the book, but like, I don't even think they sell that much.

dont worry im sure random people will repost episodes on youtube when they come out. they already do that anyway

Shillrak said that they re edited because some of the sound effects were from judge dread. If so, that's justified, but they should at least reupload it to the Warhammer YT channel.

Bull honkey of the highest degree, GW bought that guy and all he is/was.

TBH I thought the Astartes guy would’ve gone the “Death of Hope” route after he got hacked/fucked with for weeks on end last year.

I mean do you have a counter point to that, or are we doing conspiracy hour. I don't really think gw would recut it.

+unless they had to.

I’m just approaching it from a business perspective, you sign a deal with this guy, recut and slightly rework the stuff to legally claim its transformative and keep it to themselves if/when they have a falling out with the guy.

The business perspective here is that they are filling their roster for War-flix. The dude still has his patreon, were he gets his money. I don't know why the idea that they just recut it to be copyright friendly is such an absurd reach. I think this another case of fa/the/uys shitting their pants and crying for no reason.
