How hard would it be to kill a teleporting sniper?

>>63973199 (OP)
predict where he's gonna teleport

Get a brave transhuman woman to do it.

I mean snipers very rarely are used to go boom, they're used to recon and maybe designate.

>>63973199 (OP)
why is Necron so OP? Why haven't they won already?

>>63973724
Not all woken up. Damaged mentally. Prone to fighting each other. Civil war brewing between Imotekh and Silent King.

>>63973199 (OP)
source?

>>63974117
Pariah Nexus, you can find it on warhammer+ or some russian streaming site.
>>63973680
Its warhammer, every unit is used to go boom
>>63973724
What >>63973845 says plus they have to deal with eldars, humans, orks and so

Glad I jumped ship when it went mainstream

>>63973724
They're more concerned with telling meat bags to get off their lawn so they can get their beauty sleep.

It's pretty easy if you have a teleporting bullet

>>63973199 (OP)
Why does the supposed elite of the elite, (passed through death trials, geneseed implantation, all the bullshit) knowing his enemy is capable of teleporting instantaneously, who has already been shown to have good tactical reactions, just stand around at the end like a retard? It's not even the excuse of his chainsword getting caught on something.

If one of the combatants has to be hit with an idiot ball that contradicts what the audience has been shown about him for the encounter to come to a conclusion, then it automatically fails as an action scene.

Is this the official license 40k animation by the guy that did Astartes?

>>63974328
>If one of the combatants has to be hit with an idiot ball
Literally everyone with a personality in 40k is hit with the idiot ball regularly.
Especially humans, above all else.
The Imperium's main problem is that it's so fucking stupid. Possibly at a systemic level because it's too big to operate intelligently but certainly at an individual level absolutely constantly.

The Big E is the prime example.

>>63973199 (OP)
Luv seeing marinade lose

>>63973199 (OP)
If there are practical limits to his teleportation (such as only being able to teleport within his line of sight, maximum distance, place he's been to before etc), then those weaknesses can be exploited
Otherwise just ambush him. Can't teleport away if he doesn't know he's under attack

>>63973226
>those way-too-fast videogame tier animations

rushed

>>63974328
Later there is an astartes witu a missing arm that needs to kill the deathmark.
They need to make it look like it ll be hard to do so, and they could waste to much time flashing out the part where they showcase the enemy.
So you get thar.

>>63974176
Also some of them wanting to keep lesser races as slaves/flesh bodies to transfer their minds back into. Not all of them were happy with the C'tan's brand of immortality.

>>63974609
Its neger shown to be able to teleports too far away, but in the lore its supposed to be an alternate dimension like that lrvel in titanfall where you switch beetwen timelines but he also can see you trough that and ambush you.

>>63974846
Reading The infinite and the divine and orikan remembers how he was beaten to a pulp and brought in chains to the industrialised process of having Starvampires eat your soul and happy memories and turning you into a space terminator.
Since their first form lived less than humans did and had super space cancer too they were losing a war against space mages and so the Silent king took the easy road thinking it would save his people, the nobles wanted it.
The commoners it is described were put beaten to a pulp by the ones already robotified put on Ghost arks which were used at first to take away the corpses by beast of burden now indistrialised everyone broken bone to be turned jnto the perfect killing machine.
And the warrior are decribed in lore as being damaged after countless battles showing the signs of millions of years.
So they would have been even stronger durying the war in heaven without accounting for the super weapons

>>63974617
I think its fine, custodes are supposed to be uncannily fast with only eldar being slightly faster. Whats really rushed in these shows is the facial animations, none of them look quite right.

>>63973724
Thry can scry the future using Technology so advanced it s sorcery but psysichs based.
But the Orks are so random both orikan and Imotekh say they make it unpredictable.

>>63973199 (OP)
Why would a robot need to look through a scope?

>>63974892
Because everything you see in 40k is canonically Imperial propaganda filtered through 3 or 4 layers of unreliable narration. Some is simplistic cartoon Munitorum "haha orks suck stab them with ur bayonet" propaganda, some is faux-realistic Guard propaganda "fuck this everyman life sucks, gonna live fifteen hours fighting these orks with the lads" and others are Inquisitorial reverse-psych propaganda "oh fuck bros, humanity is doomed, at least we can go out fighting! a tribvte to the eternal huyman spirit!"

The reality is orks aren't humanoids at all. They're fungal walking quadruped cucumbers dual-wielding M2s or something. Humanity isn't doomed; it's an overly patriotic clerk's powerpoint for the secret police to boost his MIC budget for the year..

>>63973724
>Why haven't they won already?
You're getting lots of canon answers but fundamentally remember that like capeshit Games Workshop wants to ride its IPs forever, selling more new toys and licensed content etc. And in the exact same basic setting its fanbase already likes. Which means that nobody is ever allowed to actually win, or even have any serious disruptions where the IP shifts into 4X empire builder or whatever vs new spins on and campaigns about the same basic thing.

Everything in-universe ultimately comes from that. Progress has to be met setbacks. Improvements by one faction must be countered. This can be done more or less realistically of course, and the universe they've setup is fucked up enough that yeah they probably can figure out back and forth war as long as they want, but still nobody can actually just win unless they were fucking done as a company and felt like going out with a bang.

>>63973199 (OP)
Considering that dude can move fast enough to punch you to death from across the street before you even react and even he got rekt by the sniper...
Very hard.
>>63973226
I love how this was their first time depicting stronk womyn Custodes and the choreography is so dogshit it makes Lictors look like worthless fodder retards and the femstodian only slightly more useful than the Arbites.
Holy fuck what a climbdown for the Lictors after their stunning appearance in Space Marine 2, rip to my boys.
>>63974892
They used to be people and still function more or less in that manner depending on how good their shell is, the shit tier plebs are mindless deathbots and the Lords act and think pretty much how they did whilst alive, just metallic and soulless.
That sniper is an elite trooper so he's a few ranks below the latter.
>>63974916
This is both the foundation and the endpoint of all Reddit thoughts on 40k

>DOOD DID YOU KNOW GUY DID ASTARTES
Faggot tourists

>>63974916
>The reality is orks aren't humanoids at all.
If everything anyone can know about the series is in-universe propaganda, how can you know this?

>>63974974
I mean to a Custodian they are worthless fodder, yes. Well done. That showed exactly what was desired. The whole point was to show they're so beyond humans and then the ending making Space Marines kneel to them. It's to show they're so far beyond anything individually.

>>63974942
>Which means that nobody is ever allowed to actually win
Ah yes, Games Workshop. Famous for letting settings go on forever, not ending 40 year ones and making the bad guys win it.

>>63974916
That's an entirely different alien, that art piece is just showcasing a bunch of the alien species that exist in the background.

>>63974861
Makes their victory over the C'tan even more impressive if you think about it. Unlike the Emperor when he fought that void dragon shard, the necrons weren't the most powerful of a thing that was a hard counter to the stargods. They didn't have any psykers at all by that point, they had to do it with just tech. The beat the C'tan at a game they've had billions of years of practice at.

>>63974885
Well, the orks were created by the old ones specifically to fight the necrons at the height of their power.

The Antagonist Faction wank in 40k (and probably Fantasy considering) is too hamfisted, its worse than capeshit in terms of escalation over time in a neverending fracnhise

>>63975412
>and probably Fantasy considering
Except the antagonists won that setting.

>>63975412
Bro, at the end of that animation that super sniper gets killed by a space marine that's missing an arm. Antagonist faction wank has nothing on space marine wank.

>>63975425
Yeah, though the real reason the killed off Fantasy so they could reboot it in a modern fanbase-pandering setting with a bunch of concepts that were easier for them to copyright.

>>63975425
I don't care what you or anyone else says, End Times concluded with Grimgor one shotting the Fedoralord then fucking off because he was a bitch that wasn't worth killing.

>>63975427
Space marine wank is also antagonist wank, considering they come in chaos flavour too!

>>63975432
It was pretty gay how Chaos was getting raped so hard in the world tournament they had to use an act of plot fiant to even get him where they wanted him.

The chosen of chaos being punked by the most autistic of gork and mork was funny with that in mind.

The 'big deal' champion of Sigmar added by that campaign was a worthless fucking jobber, he was much cooler when he was just a village kid packing two blacksmith hammers killing beastmen compared to when he got his hands on the titular warhammer, grew a beard, and proceeded to lose every fight and maybe get ganked on his surgery bed by Skaven

>>63975429
No, it wasn't. There has been ex-GW employees explaining exactly why they did it. The copyright stuff is nonsense because none of that has changed in TOW. I'll list off the reasons;

1. Writers were sick of writing in the same setting because GW had focused mostly on not!Germany
2. Writers were sick of limitations in the fluff. They had no reason why, say, Karl Franz would sail across the ocean and fight in Lustria. Or why Kroak would go and fight in not!Germany.
3. The modellers (and artists, designers etc) were sick of being stuck to 'cultural' designs. I.e, having to do not!Egyptians for Tomb Kings, not!French for Bretonnia, not!HRE for Empire etc.
4. Designers were also sick of the limitation of square base rank and file and them trying to break of that mould lead to the Witch Elves situation
5. They were tired of having to use the previous fluff and having to adhere to it

The fact it didn't sell very well was just the ultimate reason they ended it. In fact, they didn't even plan to end it. They planned to redo it, but then Kirby (CEO at the time) ordered them to do an entire new setting in six weeks. Including rules and such. Which they did, which is why AoS had such a bad start (but it sells better than WHFB ever did).

>>63973199 (OP)
It’s actually pretty easy, all you have to do is wa-

>>63975469
It's kind of this but also a "planescape" setting makes it easier for people to fit Their Guys into the lore, like how it is in 40k with an entire galaxy of room.

>>63975469
Fuck the 'writers'.

>>63975486
There was never anything preventing the player from making 'their guys' in WF, people used to do it all the time in the old days.

>>63975469
Total Warhammer did a better job with the setting than they did.

Seems like for all their bitching they were just blinded by their own pettiness.

>>63974974
>Considering that dude can move fast enough to punch you to death from across the street before you even react and even he got rekt by the sniper...
Space marines will never not be the guys who stumble around like retards in every animated depiction made by their actual company.

>>63975399
>The beat the C'tan at a game they've had billions of years of practice at
Weren't they rebelling against the C'tan though?
They weren't starting with nothing and everything the C'tan had that wasn't innate pseudo-warp powers was based on Necron tech too.
C'tan were actually sort of powerless before Necrons discovered and embodied them.

>>63973199 (OP)
This looks like shit

>>63977002
They were fighting Eldars, Giant orks, And Space lizard magicians using their own version of Gods and God slaying Science.
Than the Ctan turned on each others and the Crons decided to Shatter them while they were weak.

>>63974916
Codexes and rulebooks are described through a neutral quasi-omnipotent viewpoint. The Imperium wouldn't describe itself as grim, dark and existing in the far future.

>>63975469
But this is even worse
Why, this is intolerably worse
How could any writer ever come out and say "I don't like having to think about what I write instead of putting everything in a meaningless soup setting" and not get executed in the street

>>63973199 (OP)
Depends on the roll.

>>63977762
>How could any writer ever come out and say "I don't like having to think about what I write instead of putting everything in a meaningless soup setting" and not get executed in the street
There's a lot of things that are normal to say in a corporate setting that would get you shot in the street.

I'm guessing that you're either young or blue collar. Take it from someone with a long career in corporate offices, people betray their principles for salary all the fucking time.
It's literally considered noble in most of the anglo world.

>>63973199 (OP)
equip jack-o'-lantern to helmet slot and you'll be fine from the teleporting mob. God you fucking zoomers are retarded.

>>63973724
>Why haven't they won already?
most of them are still asleep, they arent a unified force, they are divided among many dynasties who are borderline civil warring each other, they dont view the other races in the galaxy as an immediate threat, they are immortal so no sense of urgency whatsoever and a some of the awoken necrons have brain damage from the long sleep, so dont function properly.

>>63973724
As a xeno their advantages are prone to fading out of existence the moment they're in danger of doing any serious damage to the Imperium.

>>63974508
>The Imperium's main problem is that it's so fucking stupid.
In the words of at least one of the writers, "the Imperium doesn't work. It's not /supposed/ to work."

>>63983495
The satirical elements of 40k canon are largely ignored by the fanbase.
I feel like only the Ork players really understand and embrace it and I think that's because the satire there is pretty affectionate.

>>63983634
>ork himars

>>63983817
Who needs AI when you have grots?
I think Ork is the least cringe faction just because they're written as having such a great time with it all.

>>63975454
Its cannon an Ork cut off the balls of Khorne.

>>63983850

>>63983998
>Its cannon an Ork cut off the balls of Khorne.
Really?
Where did that come from?

It makes vague sense in canon though (single n anon, cannon is for dakka), they're psychically powerful and indifferent to all the emotions that feed chaos. They don't even really feel bloodlust, it's just sport to them.

>>63983634
The herohammer slop of Space Marine chads versus Guard virgins really missed the point. These are supposed to be concentric circles of security forces for a Russian-style corrupt regime with British drip. The more brainwashed and the nearer the power structure the better the kit. Space Marines aren't heroes reinforcing the front liens, they're trooned out Chechens with the newest PKPs to put down any Guard who try to defect to the Tau.

>>63973199 (OP)
Not that hard desu fampai if you stop standing in the middle of the street in a combat zone. Also the premise isn't entirely dissimilar to fighting a Predator if you want to think about it that way.
>>63973202
This. There's only going to be so many good sniping positions in a given area, with a little creative thinking you can guess where he'd go next. If you have multiple guys you can watch multiple angles at the same time. If you have the luxury you can start hosing down the spots with explosives until he's out of cover and has to pull back. If you can't do that you can try hiding until he has to start getting more aggressive where he might slip up, he'll be at massive disadvantage if he just teleports directly into your sights.

God 40k is so cringe and retarded.

It's so easy to tell who is an underdeveloped moron by their love of 40k.

>>63984022
Their dangerously unhinged warlord, the self-styled "Daemon-Killa," had already made his mark upon the Eye by bringing battle to several Daemon Worlds devoted to Khorne's rivals. The Ork warlord proved unstoppable until his WAAAGH! crash-landed on a flesh planet belonging to a mighty Daemon Prince high in the standing of Khorne known as the Blood Prince.

Battling the creature and his Daemonic hordes, Tuska suffered many deep wounds and his Boyz took heavy losses. Just as the Blood Prince was about to finish Tuska, his Weirdboyz managed to distract the Daemon using their psychic powers, giving Tuska enough time to impale the creature between its legs with his Power Klaw before being killed himself.

>>63973199 (OP)
necrons always win btw
also why did he pick up the wrong helmet in the armory it makes his head look like a big red knob

>>63984358
Are you a fucking /pol/tard?
You promised me balls being cut off Khorne, not a random daemon prince probably invented for the specific story.

>>63974916
Rulebooks, codexes and expansions are accurate, minus a certain amount of warp fuckery fudging the dates(GW can't be assed to track where important characters and assets are). Black library is exactly as you describe.

>>63984375
Red helmet is to signify that he has achieved the rank of sergeant, or lieutenant, I forget which. From a gameplay perspective, it's to make your sarge/LT stand out among your models so he can be identified at a glance.

>>63973724
Reading infinite and the dvine.
And Trazyn and Orikan both having time manipulation, thousand of necron soldiers that reanimate are fighting against this nigga that is fused 6 times over, were them being fussed twice would mean the death of a world in a month.
Their version of aerial dogfights can do manuevers that are psysichal impossible, with cannons that shoot plasma the heat of the sun and should be to even kill Titans(the war machine).
And they still are losing but keeping the shard at a stand still while And fighting as they are Doing C&C with thousand of units at a time.
Imotek the stormlord is said to be even better at Strategy.

>>63987729
I dunno shit about WH besides what's in vidya gaems but that guy is 100% Malekith from WHF
