Why are Imperium fans like this?

>Imperium fans
No such thing, really. It's just Astartesfaggots.

>>96558528 (OP)
Tau are cool

>>96558564
FACT!

>>96558528 (OP)
Because GW panders to them, as they make up a massive chunk of their core audience. 40k basically exists for these people now.

And I say this as someone whose favorite faction is the Imperium.

>>96558528 (OP)
You sound like a buttblasted taufag.

>NOOO YOU CANT LIKE REGULAR HUMANS IN MY HECKIN SCIFI/FANTASY GAME

>>96560942
40k has regular humans but you won’t find them in the Imperium

>>96558528 (OP)
Asa raging faggot, OP should be able to answer this question himself.

>>96560942
The "regular humans" in question:
1) bio-engineered, autistic Space Marines
2) vat-grown, servile, autistic Kriegers
3) perfectly bio-engineered, perfectly autistic GOLD Space Marines

>>96561011
The bulk of imperium forces are humans

>”normal” humans
>flanderized depression robots who have gone from desensitized hellscape dwellers to retarded space marine “know no fear” capeshittery. No longer known as being capable of routing, breaking, or retreating thanks to black library faggotry from writers who take grim resolve to mean immunity to emotions, panic, and primal fear instincts. le bayonet charge so epic. faction that was once cool turned into sheer memes by dogshit writing and moronic secondaries.
>cadians who are described in every book that mentions them as super ultra badasses who punch up to everything. broke the le planet they fought on from how badass their resistance is. gary stus through and through, even have purple donut steel eyes to show how badass they are and also heavily resistant to chaos affliction because they are literal superhuman heroes and guardfags are closet capeshitters.

>>96561289
Nope, there is absolutely no debating the fact that Space Marines are the most popular part of the Imperium and the majority of people who spout HFY shit are marinefags.

>>96561152
The bulk of the Imperium are hivers, which are absolutely not relatable in the slightest and would be considered unstable freaks to any normal person

>>96561282
>>96561328
I thought OP was targeting Astra Militarum, which is easily the coolest faction alongside Orks, but I realize he was not.
What factions do you guys like?
>>96561418
I said "forces." The coolest part about Warhammer is seeing humans in a futuristic hellscape

>>96561593
I like inquisition, which I recognize has been a dead faction since they basically gave up on it in 8e. Then again the whole occult detective theme they have has always drawn me to them. I have a few inquisition models but I don’t really play them anymore due to lack of rules support.

I’m mostly shitposting with regards to guard. For me its a bit disappointing that they got cut down to only having cadians and krieg when they had lots of options before including armageddon steel legion, conscripts, penal battalions, etc. Also their auto-include HQ is a high lord of terra, which I think is thematically stupid for a faction that’s supposed to be normal humans.

>>96560942
90% of 40k players who play Imperium armies do not play "Regular Humans." They're Astartesfags... sorry, Astartes got squatted. They're Primarisfags.

>>96561152

>>96561593
>>96561682
Imperial Guard, AdMech and the Inquisition are easily the most interesting parts of the Imperium. Admittedly only really the former and some agents of the latter could be considered “normal humans,” but half of what makes Warhammer interesting is the horrible monstrosity that humanity has collectively become.

>>96558528 (OP)
>Why are Imperium fans like this?

>>96558528 (OP)
They aren't, there's just a certain kind of conspiracy theorist retard that can't help but sit around all say speculating about how people who likes franchises he doesn't must be literally evil.
It's pretty much just autism delusion that this is even a thing in the first place.
>What, they like a miniatures game setting?!?!?!
>They must literally be fascist!!!
Normal people don't make that leap. It's just wishful thinking and stupidity. Some people will find any political shit to bitch about even if they need to make up stupid shit like a Karen.

You can tell how new someone is if they say Imperial Guard or Astra Militarum

>>96558564
All factions are.

The Blood Angels are basically the poster boy for the grimdark' reality of the Imperium.
> Most beloved
> Upheld Emperor's ideals
> Died for the cause
> Repercussions on his son's have damned them all, BA can never be free of their curse
> Entire chapter is now raging against the dying of the light (they literally have the Black Rage this isn't subtle)
If you enjoy the 'fall from grace' grimdark' narrative of 40k, where there is only war and the laughter of blood thirsty gods, you should like the BA and their primarch.

What's wrong with Black Templars? I got into 40k during 4th and liked their codex art. I've been out of 40k for a while now.

>>96562943
admech were only interesting before they got their codex to be fair

>>96563274
A portion of their fans are fag Neo Nazis

>>96562942
"Bulk of" means majority, big guy

>>96558528 (OP)
My favorite part of the Imperium is Imperial Agents/Inquisition/Rogue Traders. I like Space Marines as much as the next guy but the only ones I'm really invested into are the Dark Angels. As for the IG, I find the DKoK boring as shit and I have my own homebrew regiment.

>>96563390
>majority (are human)
- go to GW webstore (note: never buy from the webstore)
-40k section
- 4 sub-sections: Imperium, Chaos, Xeons, SPACE MAWEENS

- See GW promotional material or fiction: marinesmarinesmarinesmarinesmarines

- Buy 2-player starter set: "Marines vs. ____"

In every observable sense related to the game, the forces of the Imperium are overwhelmingly Muhreens. The LOOORE is irrelevant. Actually, it's worse, because the LOOORE says that Astartes are supposed to be rare.

>>96563751
Stories focus on significant events

>>96563875
Then it shouldn't be claimed that the bulk on Imperial forces are human, when the focus is on events involving Astartes.

..although the IG should still have higher representation than any other branch of Imperial forces, since they're still going to have more total involvement in "significant events" than Marines. Sisters, probably less so. AdMech... uncertain.

>>96563937
>Then it shouldn't be claimed that the bulk on Imperial forces are human, when the focus is on events involving Astartes
Blacks commit a majority of, i.e. the bulk of, homicides in the U.S. Does that fact change if there's greater focus on cops killing black people? Do cops suddenly commit the majority of homicides in the U.S.?

>>96569046
Invalid comparison.

In-setting, the vast majority of Imperium forces are regular people. The setting isn't real, however. The game is what's real. And the overwhelming focus for physical product and promotional material is for muhreens. GW's claims that muhreens are a minute element of Imperium forces does not match with observable reality

Blacks committing homicides at rates far beyond any other group is also real, despite mass-media claims to the opposite. The better comparison is that media claims regarding dinduism and racially-motivated police violence are equivalent to GW's claims that muhreens are rare.

>>96569542
A similar situation would be Chaos cultists. We're TOLD that they're the most common adversary of Imperial forces, and yet they're almost nonexistent in the actual game. The message to players then, is that cultists are trivial, regardless of whatever the gay lore says.

The game is all that matters. They can say cultists are everywhere, but until it's suggested on the tabletop, it's not true.

>>96569046
>this nonsense again
You know that you are on some bullshit when you have to trot this out.
A statistician spent 30 minutes explaining how this was wrong, and gullible fools still run with it because you cant take nigger dick out of your mouth just like your boy Kirk.

>>96561418
>which are absolutely not relatable in the slightest and would be considered unstable freaks to any normal person
You just described all of the imperium

>>96569634
Cheer up, you can fight the good fight showing us with all the free time you have now.

>>96558528 (OP)
They're probably underage and in an edgy phase.
I think I was like this in my teenage years over 10 years ago.

>>96560977
In the Warhammer stories I've read there are regular dudes and they're ok with teaming up with aliens and stuff and then there's the inquisition and the Imperial cult who are almost always portrayed as somewhat paranoid extremists. Daemonifuge and Titan for example. It's not nearly as edgy as the memes.

>>96572361
Additionally there's also a subtext that the Red Redemption and other extreme emperor cults are secretly Khrone worshippers because of their obsession with blood (and because they're named after a crazy cult from the comic Lone Sloane)

>>96572390
Death cults ride the knife’s edge on heresy. They just produce enough wetwork operatives to get willfully ignored by the imperium most of the time.

>>96558528 (OP)
>a bit annoying

correcty they are ayyye lmaos

True, but most 2hus solo DB and any other fiction.
No, seriously, that fucking franchise is beyond bonkers. It's not even funny.

Touhou is literally the potenial man meme as a franchise.

>They call me 007
>0 Feats

>7 lore books that are called unreliable in universe.

>"This power makes the character undefeatable!"

>"Youkai are unstopable!"
>Got taken out in canon by a bunch of inbred samurai so hard they went into hiding.

>>96569542
>Blacks committing homicides at rates far beyond any other group is also real,
It's not. Whites dominate globally.

>>96573826
Even if that were true, nobody is talking about global trends, retard.

>>96573835
They are what matter. Blacks only dominate in the case of the USA. Where most homicides are done by whites "legally".

>>96573798
>Touhou
Looked into it, its best statements involve string theory apparently

A short list of things in 40k which can easily wipe out Gensokyo:
One lore accurate custodes.
One squad of space marines.
One squad of aspect warriors.
An Imperial guard platoon.
One very determined and patient sister of battle.
A primarch looking in the general direction of the place.
Sly Marbo.

>"What could shooting some blue orbs possibly do to Goku or any other franchise?"
>Find out danmaku is literally just a game specifically made so that the girls don't tear up reality whenever they fight
>Also find out 99,9% of the cast are textbook sociopaths and/or psychopaths
OK, I believe you

>>96573873
All of those can be beaten by a grot, anon

>>96573798
See, I don't know much about Touhou, but I do know DBfags usually avoid powerscaling with them, so that must at least mean something.

>>96574029
Powerscaler here, the dragon ball meta is all about big booms and hoping people will accept reletive speeds between characters

The mortal enemy of any DB character is some haxxed out character with higher than finite speeds

Why do guardfags try to throw space marines under the bus when in reality they are WORSE than marinefags?

>>96574137
Guardfags are usually secondaries and those people are spastics. Most marine players pick marines cause they’re beginner friendly in many ways (easy to paint, easy rules, jack of all trades faction) and shilled to hell by GW. Most of them are pretty chill and not super attached to the faction.

>>96573992
>>Find out danmaku is literally just a game specifically made so that the girls don't tear up reality whenever they fight
No, it's so they can fight without killing each other. Reality will be just fine.

>Also find out 99,9% of the cast are textbook sociopaths and/or psychopaths
They are weak as shit despite that.

>>96574002
3 grots in a trenchcoat and a large pile of scrap could probably solo gensokyo.

>>96574069
I mean, nobody in Gensokyo actually applies for that.

As for time stops, we literally know DB characters can just no sell that.

>>96574137
>>96574418
Actually player Guardfags basically come in 3 groups.
>Nazis.
>Old school pseudo historicals that still remember the woad warriors.
>Starship trooper larpers.

Group 1 is banned from most sensible places. 2 are very pleasant though they get along with modern 40k rather poorly. 3: Are basically just Space Marine fags pretending to be hipsters.

>>96573826
>>96573839
Hey black (or more likely, søy) Anon, how conscientiously and/or comprehensively do they collect homicide statistics in majority black nations?

40k is a normgroid "wargame" and Imperiumfags are the normies of 40k, they're basically Magic the Gathering players in terms of IQ and BO

>>96573826
Source? Because it's most likely latinos

>>96574585
>>Nazis.
Another case of little Timmy Limpwrist seeing monsters in the shadows on the wall, wherever he goes. Does it make you feel good to LARP as part of some 'resistance' or whatever? Does it feel good to engage in the only kind of socially acceptable gatekeeping? She's not gonna give a shit, bro.

>>96574711
You could take the Ukrainians’ word on Russian casualties and the Russians’ take on Ukie casualties and still end up well short of the most recent volume of Now That’s What I Call Civil War in the Congo. That post is just attention seeking nonsense from a tourist looking to dehumanize nerds so leave 4Chan for discord/reddit/wherever, just like this whole thread.

Look up wars globally, CIA planned genocides and wars, CIA crime networks, homocides per country, etc. Then just apply some basic math.

>>96574711
About as well, if not better, than most of the USA.

>>96574778
Congo civil war was in the 90's and was almost entirly the fault of Americans and Europeans. Whites win out through sheer and consistenty. It's not that placesl like the USA and the UK goes around invading and mass murdering other countries, or that they help facilate mass murder through clandesent operations. It's the sheer consistent repetition of both.

It feels good when I get somebody kicked out of the store or gaming club for being a Nazi, yes.

>>96574904
>Ok, let's see your basic math
Since you mentioned the congonese civil war...
>Congo civil war: About 5.4 million deaths.
Meanwhile:
>Indonesian genocide: About a Million.
>Iran Iraq war: 500 thousand deaths.
>Yugoslav wars: 140 thousand deaths.
>Soviet invasion of Afganistan: 1-3 million deaths.
>Post 9/11 American military operations. About a million.
>General deaths caused by CIA linked organized crime: About a fifth of all murder happening on the planet in any given year.
Sorry, don't see the Congonese winning this one.

>>96574966
Tank spammers tend to be either metafags or people that don't realize Epic/Legion Imperalis exists.

>>96558528 (OP)
Its a set of dials and switches. It's an "alpha mindset" where they feel like asserting dominance with a single phrase or pushy subject. If they sense you're an adversary(in their mind) they will harass you.

Just like politic ponies. Who can't seem to get off the high horse and try very hard to find if you're the blue or red kind.

The open-endedness of Touhou is both the best and worst thing about it.

>>96574986
idk what it is, its the same mindset as knight players and I dislike knight players.

I hate how over glazed the DKOK get by some people. DKOK are pretty much the only non slop IG models right now so I have to associate with these people if I want to use a cool army

A named Space Marine Librarian with no helmet could beat Goku.

>>96558536
>astartes
you mean space martianitos?

>>96561005
It would be a fair fight at least. The Emperor can canonically kill someone by just looking at them the wrong way and only couldn't do it with Horus because his powers are tied to the warp which Horus had like wt the edge of his fingertips. Im pretty sure Goku can't kill people by looking at them

>>96576783
The shovel meme people ruined DKOK

Speaking from personal experience it is probably because they are underage and feeling edgy.
