>>712370957
Well, there's the aquilons now, but then those technically aren't Elysian drop troops, they're scions that happen to specialize in the same sort of ops, and as such use a lot of the same equipment.

Yeah, just like Angron and Mortarion.

It would be understandable and more palpable to accept you having the Imperium as your favorite faction because they look cool. But to say just because they're the humans? Gay as fuck.

So it's just a fusion of an edf trooper and wingdiver then

Imperium - basically enthralled by the Emperor, who is a nascent chaos god, sucking up souls and worship for his ascension to a "better" future for mankind as warp entities no less

Votann - genetic mutants riddled with faulty data transcription lead by glitching AIs

Eldar - neurotic

Tau - second coming of necrontyr, cannot be trusted since they're effectively all enthralled by their priest caste who are using who knows what kind of eldritch means to control their population

Chaos - boring one note edgelord bullies

Necron - has beens

Tyranids - swarm of locusts designed by a c'tan, they're merely a tool or "space weather"

Orks - good guys, just aving a laff

Craftworld Eldar are just the same degenerate Eldar from before the fall but in denial that one day they'll be with the rest of their race and belong in hell

Now that the Hivemind is purposefully aiding and abetting some Genestealer cults to escape the swarm and propagate elsewhere it's pretty much objectively best to be a Genestealer Cultist

Honest to go though anything after 2011 genuinely is pure sloppa. I think the world ended in 2011 or something. Or we got our servers transferred to a simulation because EVERYTHING is shit since then. Everything

40k is and always has been shit because sci-fi is inherently pozzed.

They explicitly are not.

The Imperium is a complex institution

>>712371096
If "nu-40k" started, in your mind, at least 5 years before the release of Primaris marines then I don't know what the fuck you're expecting
Do you also think Dark Heresy 2e is "nu-40k"?

>>712379209
You are wrong on all counts.

>>712379851
There were some minor complaints to be had about 6th edition but yeah nu-40k IMO didn't start until 8th.

Oh no no no no

40K isn't about morality, it's about aesthetics. It's about insane knights killing demons in space. And it's fun.

>>712379209
>I think them being from outside the Galaxy was kind of a fuckup, espescially when there is lore of Tyranid bioforms that predate their presence in the milky way by millenia if not longer.
You could imply they were part of some failed scouting attempt that landed in the Milky Way far earlier than expected. Being greeted by mostly Warp faggotry and Tomb Kang shenanigans. No real good biomass to be found so they called it off. They try to caveat this by stating that those older pattern bioforms have gone rogue. Enjoying their literal generations of automy cut off from the Hivemind. And they will stay leaving the planet like birds on the wind if they find out that a hivefleet is closing in. I'm sure you could make a decent survival horror based on this premise.

Hunter becomes the hunted where hes fairly outmatched combat wise so you have to use genetic memory going back millions of years to find a way through them. Older bug murking new bugs with the backing of an entire swarm.

or
>Heroic Spacemarine/Imperial Guard Fight Objectively Evil Rape Murder Chaos Demon - With Chainsword Swinging Action!
Everything that tries to make the Imperium "just as bad as the others" is some meaningless flavor text in an army book, or it is some asshole officer/agent who is portrayed as being an evil asshole prick. 95% of Warhammer media glorifies Space Marines and Guardsmen by making them the objective good guys and then they wanna try to say "B-BUT MUH FASCISM!!"

Nah, even the more generic stuff in Fantasy that falls in line with predictable tropes is typically well done. Ignoring End Times and a spattering of certain characterizations it's legitimately one of the best Fantasy settings.

I just think it's extremely funny (in the sad kind of way, like when you realize you're surrounded by fucking retards) that so many anons are quick to tell on themselves as either actual honest to god secondaries or actual bitter 50+ year olds.
I mean for the latter, what the fuck happened in 6th edition era 40k that it registers as "nu-40k"?

It's my understanding that what everyone refers to as "nu-40k" is all the silver age bullshit that's come about after GW soft-rebooted the setting in 8ed.
I don't actually expect any of the >2012 niggers to explain themselves. The announcement of the Dark Heresy owlcat game was probably the first time they even heard of the RPG.

40K is just a hodgepodge of unoriginal shit.
It exists to sell models.
GW marketing will take whatever the popular opinon is to sell models.

The exact moment 40K became shit was when they made Black Library canon.
If you ignored BL it was OK. They started retconning things in the last 2 years. Anyone becoming a lorefag is just queing up to choke on a dick now.

The best part of 40K is = instead of playing a pre-existing anything is you and your mates making up your own shit. Most of you don't play 40K. You just read Black Library and know jack shit.

Exact proof of what I was saying about no one knowing fucking shit

It is CONFIRMED in the Space Wolf Codex. It is LITERALLY CANON that the space viking super humans fuck women on Fenris and the women love it.

>>712382198
I guess it's to prevent the condition of Space Marine from becoming a hereditary position, kinda the same reason the vatican doesn't allow priests to get married. makes sense

>>712382469
>space marines are sterile and have no sexual desire to speak of.
Didn't the ZOG Emperor say he didn't want humanity replaced with Space Marines? Or did that get recon'd again?

>>712382198
Producing something like a Broodrat is probably tech heresy if not straight up sorcery. It's also sort of unnecessary if you have a whole planet, sometimes multiple, constantly pumping out potential recruits for an organization of 1000 dudes. Though I did always find the Black Templar method of constantly injecting new Neophytes into squads made a lot more sense than the Codex compliant method

>>712382927
Isn't there a stark difference between Broodmothers and a normal skaven female? The Thanquol series had a Grey Seer describing being groomed by a group of breeders. Also another asshole Grey Seer had a whole harem of Amazon Stormvermin to protect him.

It's just sort of in the same camp as female beastman. Yes they exist but we're not going to dwell on them much.

The era of 40k most "old guard" actually played. However they refuse to admit it because it introduced the Tau in 3rd (2001) and the Necron lore rework in 5th (2008) among other things.
>8th-Now

>>712383181
Yeah there's so many badass regiments and they choose to give us Starship Troopers ripoffs. Fuck Cadians in particular. Where are the Vostroyans, Maccabians and Mordians? Most of these guys are more interesting than any space marine chapter.

>>712383383
When people say the liked Rogue Trader, what they really mean is that they liked the beak helmets on the old space marines. Anyone unironically claiming that it was the best iteration of 40k are posers of the worst degree.

>>712382198
Correct me if I'm wrong, but space marine children would just be normal humans.

>>712383545
Fuck your right, sorry I have bee up all night and my brain is Fucked. Also I'm not a graybeard myself just a history nerd.
However 2nd edition came out in 93 and 3rd in 2001 so the point still stands that most of the "everything was better back in my day" posters you see better not complain about the Tau being "not edgy enough "or that a piece of art from 2012 isn't Trve 40k because they likely didn't start till after they were introduced.

>>712383954
Also that means "the good 40k" only existed for 7 years total.

>>712382198
for the Imperiums case, due to how many humans there are they really don't need any breeding programs since even if something is a one and million chance, one hive world is enough to give you all the recruits you will ever need, that and marines usually prefer their recruits to essentially be wild and not in controlled enviroments that a breeding program would give since the other part is having aspirants being trained killers despite being 12

>>712383813
then what the fuck is gene seed

>>712384317
Separate organs implanted into each marine, containing genetic material from their primarch. Typically harvested from marines periodically, or when they die, to be implanted in new marines. I'm pretty sure the actual genetics of a marine are not altered.

>>712383572
The grooming is just a little blurb from "Grey Seer". It's kind of vague so it's generally glossed over in discussions of Skaven females because the Rat Mothers are more gross and interesting to talk about. I don't remember exactly what the Amazonian Stormguard were from. I may have genuinely made that one up in my head.

>>712383808
RT was cool but it was barely playable and the base "lore" barely resembles the modern 40k, they have to publish six million White Dwarf articles to make it playable. 40k basically started with the second edition.

>>712381345
You’re either 8 or a corporate cock sucker

>>712384592
Got anything specific from the setting that feels lackluster? Pretty much everything from Fantasy is just a really good rendition on a pre-existing pillar of the fantasy genre without being tryhard.

>>712380237
why no nurgle?

>>712384503
I think the genetics of a marine are altered but not to a great degree and its more of a consequence of having new organs implanted along with the treatments to get said organs working properly, but you are right that said genetic alterations won't result in a theoretical child gaining any space marine features

>>712384837
Co-opted by reddit, now its the lamest chaos good.

>>712384317
>>712384503
Gene See is grown in two organs on a Space Marine's Body, those organs originally derived from a Primarch's genetic material, are implanted along with all the other super organs that make Marine what they are as children (young boys old enough to endure intensive surgery but before puberty fully kicks in)..
One matures and is extracted once it does so and the other is harvested upon death and the genetic material within is synthesized to make a new set of organs each.
So every space marine can make 2 more marines.

I recall that marine bodies cannot properly use the organs themselves, which is why the progenoid organ does that for them. If you remove that, I imagine the rest of the Geneseed organs break down and malfunction, because they no longer have their "brain".

40k is just a Dune, 2000AD, and Starship Troopers paste slathered over Warhammer Fantasy (which is just fantasy tropes filtered through a bunch of Young British Nerds adjacent to the 80s punk scene) that grew a unique layer of mold.

>>712385483
Primaris suck, in lore and on the table. Took everything unique to the eldar, and gave it to marinebabies.

>>712379209
Wrong wrong wrong as usual, tyranids were always explicitly from outside the galaxy from the very beginning of 40k and any stupid shit 'lore' you watched on youtube that says otherwise is wrong

>>712385986
Nice reading comprehension, champ.

>>712379851
Yes 2012 is the dawn of nu-hammer retard, you don't get to reinterpret objective facts just because you don't like them. Oldhammer to early 90s, midhammer to early 00s, newhammer to early 10s, nu-hammer to early 20s and downfallhammer currently

>>712379209
>Tyranid bioforms that predate their presence in the milky way by millenia if not longer.
Probably vanguard fleets or something. I think the implication was always that they were scouting our galaxy before invading. Star Wars did the same thing with the Vong.

Guess you could trace "nu-40k" to Matt Ward, he did irreparable damage to 40K, that's around 2008.

>>712386289
When was the point of no return? When did Games Workshop start buying into its fandom's belief that they invented sci-fi?

That is just a non-sexy wingdiver from EDF

>what the fuck happened in 6th edition era 40k that it registers as "nu-40k"?
Matt Ward and his ilk flanderising everything for one thing retard, space wolves going from techno-barbarians to wolfy wolves wolfing the wolf wolf for another. 6th was where it became a 'hobby' for mewling little faggots

At least your army is meta now, even if they aren't being ran as them.

Yes you are 100% right. They took the most popular and versatile army in the whole fucking game and made it hyperspecialized.
Almost like they wanted you to buy alot of different models instead of spamming just a few.

>>712385730
Everything is derivative in 40k.
Best part is when shit is derived from 40k.

>>712379209
Idiot... They LITERALLY have their own fucking army.
They invaded the Milky way.
They are fucking cool though.

Yes they did. That’s why Cavill loves it so much.

No it isn't unless you mean some modern shit for retarded babbies, space wolves become marines much later than other chapters and have fathered children before they are selected but they do not have sex afterwards as it is actual canon that all marines are gelded, the real reason being that Rick Priestley isn't a gooning faggot but knew you would be so he cut it out from the start

They're not even old they're just posers and secondaries trying to fit in. In all likelihood they weren't even alive for 3rd edition.

Necrons are objectively the Good and bad guys of the 40k universe

>>712387928
Skeleton NIGGERS aka necrons can suck the holiest parts of my imperial dick

>>712387928
Post retcon Necrons are objectively the Lamest and gayest guys of the 40k universe.

40K was always gay. The only interesting part is the God Emperor and even that is overplayed

>>712387928
no they aren't, they fucking ruined everything
justify the war in heaven, otherwise known as the war of seething right now
they ruined everything by making the c'tan, they ruined everything by transferring to metal bodies, they ruined everything by killing the old ones, they ruined everything by wrecking the realm of souls, they ruined everything by then breaking the c'tan, allowing the eldar to rise/create slaanesh, unleashing the enslavers... etc

r/HorusGalaxy (coneservative warhammer sub) was banned on reddit so all the wokehammer cunts have been jerking themselves off over beating "the chuds".

>>712388174
they fucked everything up and they will fix everything just you watch

>>712388404
lmao it was banned? what for? I'm not even a conservative but I really hate that faggot website.

>>712388581
Admins banned all the mods and then banned it for being unmoderated. Reddit's quickest way to ban places they don't like but that aren't breaking rules.

>>712389024
1st edition 40k was gay
2nd - 5th were the glory years and no, I don't think retconning the necrons was a bad thing and it's nowhere near as bad as femstodes

>>712389134
Yeah, r/the_donald all over again. Guess we can expect a ton of retarded 40k threads flooding the site for now on. I almost feel bad for /tg/.

>>712389153
so why is it not science fiction?

>>712389153
40k technically does both sci fi and science fantasy

>>712389060
I feel like people who like EC like it for the horror aspect. Real troons likely find it too problematic and gravitate more towards Tau and Eldar.

>>712389291
>I don't think retconning the necrons was a bad thing

>>712389347
>I almost feel bad for /tg/
i don't. it's the most miserable place on earth

>>712389483
Keyword: almost.

>>712389291
Tau were from 3rd edition.

>>712389463
Them just being alien terminators is gay, them being space tomb kangz is way better

>>712389578
>there exist people that actually takes 40k seriously and don't play it ironically

>>712389683
Believing in mankind is always serious and always good to do. Sucks to suck.

>>712389578
>>712389683
Who the fuck plays things ironically? Are you guys faggots or something? Something looks cool I like it simple as

>>712389607
Also never hated the Tau, the fact people fall for the "they're akshully the good guys" schtick is in fact hilarious. 40k barely gets new interesting xenos factions anyways

>>712389389
>>712389393

It's straight up fantasy, not even science fantasy. Just because something is set in space doesn't make it science fiction. And fantasy doesn't always have to be in a medieval setting.

40k is fantasy, plain and simple. And there's nothing wrong with that. But claiming 40k is a genre that it isn't makes you look retarded.

>>712389752
>I spent 4 grand on painting pieces of plastic as a joke dude

>>712389798
so what are the key elements of science fiction then?

>>712389798
It very obviously has aspects of both you pedantic faggot

>>712389798
40k has sci fi and science fantasy. By definition 40k has a mix of speculative fiction based around existing scientific theories and has magical bullshit with pseudo scientific explanations for it. It does also have medieval fantasy settings in 40k. 40k is a hodgepodge of a lot of random shit

>>712389767
I really like their aesthetic (pic not related) but I never liked the "lol 8000 year long warpstone" excuse. They're right on the edge of the galaxy. They could have just been characterized as a young race the Golden Crusade just missed and that a bunch of other genocided Xenos happened to coalesce around.

Every faction in the setting has some spiel about being some million year old super power, I like the T'au being a young race, I just think it would meld into the rest of the setting better if it was more a direct result of the Imperium's xenophobia.

>>712389998
It must be comprised solely of elements that may not yet exist in the real world, but are still within the realm of possibility according to established science. That's actually why most things that people call science fiction aren't actually science fiction.

>>712390009
Words have meaning, retard. Don't get mad at me for calling out your inability to use words correctly.

>>712389578

Hello wokehammer nerd, yes I do think femstodes were a dumb idea, come and get me.

>>712390357
Dumbest post ITT, and it's a 40k one.

>>712390663
I agree though. That doesn't change the fact that you're a Redditor though does it?

>>712390357
ahh, i see you're taking the heinlein definition as gospel, when there is none (zero) concrete definitions of the genre. no, that is not the definition and there really isn't one, barring the relatively vague quote "Science fiction is what we point to when we say it."

you might be thinking of speculative fiction, a more serious take on the limits of humanity considering the knowledge we currently have.

>>712370957
>Elysian Drop Trooper
These niggas were always gay and soulless. They were a pet faction for forgeworld, a boring mudcore realism imperial guard army for gay rivetcounters that wanted to play historicals but were too gay.

Turned out airdropping guard close and light is pretty fucking stupid when everything else is a demon with blenders for hands and you want to stay as far away and as armored as you can, so they were fairly unpopular and never reappear in anything.

>>712380164
For me, it's the mecha, the hivemind of monstrosities, and the mutant cultists interbred with said monstrosities.

>>712382198
They intentionally want the hardest motherfuckers to ever exist, which is why they recruit from child soldiers/gangers on death worlds, underhives, etc. It's all about quality over quality, especially considering each chapter is limited to 1000 brothers.

>>712392768
>mfw there is an entire alien race that exists to cuck old other races

are genestealers really that sexy?

>>712393701
Probably some mixture of genetic engineering and psychic fuckery.

>>712394363
Exactly. Between the pheromone-laced gene-altering DNA and the warp-fueled mental manipulation, you're basically brainwashed into wanting to breed with a bug. It's not that they’re sexy—it’s that your brain gets hijacked into thinking they are. Tyranid Tinder is just a mass hallucination.
