I'm just making a neutral observation. If they do make female Space Marines, I really wouldn't be that upset. That, and 40K as a franchise did start off as a parody of right-wing "fascism", so it hardly breaks tradition, when 40K as a franchise started off as a leftist "FUCK YOU" to what they saw as the idiots on the right.

the point doesnt stand because they havent made a major change to space marines since 1998, and the last time the massively changed the fluff for a xenos faction was the necrons a decade ago. Your point is completely wrong and it just makes you look like that you know nothing about the setting.

The Primaris Marines are already one such change. The Space Marines from 3rd-7th edition would NEVER accept the Primaris Marines. There's a reason why the lore nuts went mad when they appeared. The Space Marine chapters are very anal about who they accept, taking in candidates only after they have passed the standards and training of each chapter. Accepting randos from Mars who were trained differently than them would make the SM chapters mad, outside of maybe the Ultramarines and their successor chapters, who probably would trust Guilliman's word. That, and the older marines would be upset that they could probably be replaced, so there would be a far stronger reaction than a few Primaris Marines getting killed by a handful of SM Chapters.

All because GW wants the grognards to buy new marines that deal more damage, instead of buying old marine armies second-hand from other players.

So if they somehow had Belisarius Cawl succeed in making a female Primarch clone to make geneseed out of for female Space Marines, they'll do it. GW would have no problem doing it to appease the feminist SJWs, and the people who buy models won't care-only the lore nuts will, and those people buy books, not models.
 
But thats just wrong, if you think that the primaris were universally accepted then youre just a lorelet that doesnt actually know what he is talking about. Flesh Tearers and Dark Angels completely prove the whole point wrong. The vast majority of space marines are pragmatists above all. You would know that if you read the lore. You would also know that most primaris were delivered to each chapter with a contingent of custodian guard, and you would know the implications of that. And lastly what is different from a primaris space marine and a space marine? not much. The introduction of a primaris is not a major change to what a space marine actually is.

Why do fags have to try and pretend they know about the setting just to complain about le SJWs?
 
I got curious on how much Disney is losing and all I can find is this.
www.statista.com

Walt Disney: quarterly net income 2021 | Statista

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Walt Disney Company reported a net loss of 160 million U.S.
www.statista.com www.statista.com
So if I'm reading this right Q4 of 2020 was the last time they lost money and have been slowly recovering, still not at pre covid levels but they made more in the last quarter than GW made in the last year. Simply saying Disney closing some stores is somehow proof their dying is retarded since GW closed all of there stores last year and some never came back.

Also early 40k mocked leftists as well, the eldar where made to parody the degenerate punks of the era as much as they mock fascist (which I'm pretty sure was through the orkz since one of the main war bosses was named Margret thatcher).

Female Marines I have seen mixed stances from woke players since a good chunk see them being added as degrading to the sisters of battle which is quite funny to see when a few have to admit to agreeing with arch

That's one of those old community rumour's that is now used as an excuse for people to inject their politics into the game because according to it people were always doing it, but it wasn't actually true.

Ok I stand corrected.
Although if Chambers was so opposed to even mentioning thatcher, I'm starting to wonder how much the imperium was actually supposed to parody fascism.
The Rick Priestley quote about marines always gets brought up as proof that they are fascists, but I kinda take what ever Priestley says with a grain of sault given how he left GW and even if I give him the benefit of the doubt it marines were literally just space knights who worshiped big E (correct me if I'm wrong but Emps atheism wasn't added in till 2nd or 3rd edition with RT having him actively encourage people to worship him as a god)
 
The idea that one of the most stable geneseeds will turn a nigerian level nigga into a white boy is a laughable concept.

you mean the process which lets you run around with a second heart will have no effect on the melanin level? even more laughable that changing skincolor would be considered unstable, and remember we're not talking about facial structure and other stuff. an albino has white skin too, and skin color is all that counts to certain retarded types.

Ultramarine geneseed has never been recorded changing skin color. So the argument is moot till there is a flaw with their Geneseed.

As for end times I can't comment outside of characters dying retardedly, because I don't know age of sigmar lore. The change was done because fantasy as a game system wasn't making money, and the armies had become too costly for someone to start. they wanted to change it something smaller scale and similar to 40k. Judging from the backlash of endtimes. 40k already had their "end times" with Cadia falling.

Inb4 the planet broke before the guard did.

Fucking lol you know I am eyeing this release. I used to be a major Black Templar kiddy so maybe I should go back to the eternal crusade. At the same time though I do not like imperial fist/Black Templar fanboys.

Don't let valrak sway you bro. I'll probably get on the crusade too, already workshoping a black recipe.
 
What's the deal with Bolt Action anyway? Isn't it kind of a shameless cash grab as well, since they are just trying to sell you on highly detailed but overpriced vehicle models? From what I remember hearing, the entire scale and structure of the system is geared toward vehicles as the centerpieces, even though the vast majority of small unit actions of the era were infantry against infantry, and certainly at the sub-platoon level there would have been minimal cooperation with armor.

No idea, but it commonly cited as a 40k alternative by people who say "yea I'm done with 40k, moving to bolt action". Which confusion since it's a historical.
 
If you want to use your Warhammer minis with a better* ruleset, I heartily recommend One Page Rules. If you can overlook goofy stuff like the Tau and Dark Eldar having access to psychic powers, it's a lot of fun. And they're free, of course.

*your mileage may vary--I generally like Age of Sigmar 3.0 but don't enjoy 40k 9th Ed. at all

Pretty much this. While GW makes a neat setting that I'll happily rip off of with my printer, the rules are abysmal to play with.
