Safe manly.

Christ this "safe" thing died a dogs death didn't it. Crunchposting had more life in it.

The emperor did nothing wrong. Fagnus and huron did everything wrong

>>714397924 (OP)
correct. it's turbo violent so it's edgy safe manly

>>714397924 (OP)
Marines have become utterly boring. Titus is bland as fuck and the gushing that happens over him is just indicative of how bad things are in 40k.

>>714398540
what's "turbo" about its violence?

>>714399053
That's just how Ultramarines are.

>>714399069
You sometimes stomp on the weird bug things and get's your clean boots all icky. And sometimes you perform a finisher on a Rubric Marine and glitter goes flying everywhere. It's just too violent!

>>714399415
I know, but now every Chapter is being developed into being milticolored Ultramarines with minor 'quirks'.

>>714397924 (OP)
Them plus the typical fantasy dwarves, yeah. Something superficially masculine but sexless and unthreatening towards women

>>714400093
>I liked when they molested children, now that it's consenting adult males it sucks

>>714400261
If you define masculinity entirely by its threat towards womanhood, then maybe it's best off for everyone if it just fucking dies

>>714400414
You go out of your way to make yourself unthreatening to women yet they still won't have sex with you.

I just looked that up on Google Images and it looks really fucking gay

>>714397924 (OP)
Considering we took femcustodes very well by saying "muscle mommy BASED!!!" and seeing just how hot it was that they were dominant over male marines, I think we're finally ready for femarines.

Warhammer 40k was pretty unique in that it was about the final days of humanity. After all the technological advancements and progress humanity was confronted by the universe and was teetering on the edge of (unspoken, but inevitable) extinction.

This gave the setting a (very deeply) hidden maturity that most sci fi didn't have, it was written by depressed british punks and whatever levity and humor it had served to somehow enhance the sadness of it all. All the dumb looking steroid marines in bucket armor were desperately clawing against the inevitable.

All of this was allowed to fly under the radar for long enough, but then it became gay GI Joe in space to sell it to american 12 year olds with iqs of 80.

I always wondered why I didn't like it and then found out this game is super popular amongst Slavs

The entire awful situation of 40k happened because the Emperir was wrong about basically everything.

>>714401273

Yeah I'll stick with Space Marine, thanks

>>714401319
The emperor is only wrong if you consider the HH canon, which I don't.

>>714401280

It's disappointing that GW's retarded marketing antics get mistaken for an actually defined plan.

>>714398391
How about killing all of Angron's friends and forgetting to tell Magnus that there are fucking chaos gods lurking in the warp?

>>714401303
Numales and incels are both equally failed men. The distinction is meaningless

You say this, but when 40k stops making money, GW is gonna do the End Times again and the Imperium will canonically get destroyed by Chaos in the most unflattering humiliating manner possible. Then you'll finally have your precious grimderp wank

>>714401530

You are a failed man.

You're a failed man too though. I'm telling you not to cast stones

Even if that happens the Emperor will be back and unshackled from the Throne.

>>714398391
>"Magnus did nothing wrong"
Correct, the Emperor told him to do nothing and he did it, wrong. De did nothing, wrong

>>714401918
Anon pointed out how the emasculated the masculinity is.
This offended you and you called him an incel.

I don't think this website is for you.

>>714401490
So what actually caused Magnus to turn bad? I know he fucked up with a space phonecall and broke the Emperor's toy but not what happened after.

>>714401280
Is that what a female marine is supposed to look like?
Also, what kind of a sense does female marines make when marines are supposed to be lesser "clones" of the big E himself and what role would they play in the narrative that isn't already filled by the original marines or the Sisters of Battle?

Are the hack writers over at GW so creatively bankrupt that female marines are the best thing they could come up with to either please the SJW or bring more people to the IP?

>>714402164
I was responding to his
>I didn't know numales used this site
I'm saying numales and incels are functionally the same thing, and everyone knows 4chan is full of incels so it should be a surprise to him. This has nothing to do with OP's topic

I hate twitter niggers and their faggot words

>>714401975
It's still funny to me how wildly disproportionate E's reaction to Lorgar's worship was compared to his reaction to Magnus blowing up the webway. Lorgar gets his city blown up, Magnus gets (what was supposed to be) a censure.
>>714402236
Custodes are already kinda ghey (dey're liek space marines butt betr in every way) so might as well load em up with more bullshit.

YOUR TEAM IS BREAKING

>>714402236
It's a female Custodes.
Custodes sales have been pretty low and GW tossed Femstodes into the codex to generate some attention for an otherwise mediocre codex.
They then tried it again with one of the Warhammer+ animations, but nobody watches those so nobody really cared that much.

>>714402167
Magnus was so repentant about his mistake that he allowed Leman Russ and the Space Wolves to massacre the Thousand Sons in what was essentially a mass suicide. But at the last second he couldn't bear to let his sons die so he fought back. The Emperor actually offered to forgive Magnus during the Siege of Terra, but only on the condition that he euthanize his sons since their chaos corruption was too far gone. That was a dealbreaker for Magnus. Really, his biggest flaw wasn't his arrogance, but that he loved his sons too much

>>714402389
>>714402432
>Femstodies
In GWs defense, I don't think they ever actually said anything about their background other than "badass warriors that swore their lives to E" but making a big deal out of the existence of femstodies were retarded regardless since it adds literally nothing too the IP.

They've been pulling this shit for at least a decade now, every "addition" is quite literally NOTHING but fluff to make the pages look bigger

>>714402360
Why are you deflecting?
Why do you think everyone should die if an anon thinks masculinity should exist?

>>714402432

So, exactly what happened to SCP then?

>>714402957
Custodes have been all-male for all 40 years of 40k's existence. Sure, there's nothing explicit about their lore that would require them to be all-male like Space Marines, but that's not an invitation to retcon 40 years of lore for no reason

>>714403059
>>714400414
>maybe it's best off for everyone if it just fucking dies

>>714402432
Kek, nice try. Custodes are one of the most popular armies. Henry Cavill plays them, and we all agree he's /ourguy/.

>>714402957
>>714403209
Is there any explanation for why E made Astartes instead of just making more Custodes? I guess you could argue they're harder to make, but female Custodes totally fucks that theory, lol.

It really didn't create much except for the few days after release. The entire Tithes series has been forgotten pretty hard.
If tjey made Femarines then ywah it would have caused a huhe blowout, but honestly people just don't care that much for Custodes.

>>714403310
Space Marines are mass produced. Every single Custodes was individually created from the ground up by the Emperor himself to be a perfect genetic masterpiece.
>female Custodes totally fucks that theory
It's a retcon. That's why GW said "there were ALWAYS fem Custodes". You can't make any more Custodes, because they can only be made by the Emperor. In-universe, fem Custodes are not a new addition, they've been around since the Great Crusade

>>714399053
>Marines have become utterly boring. Titus is bland as fuck and the gushing that happens over him is just indicative of how bad things are in 40k.
And congrats for hitting the milestone every other 40k fan hits
Ultramarines are the cookie-cutter marines and are bland once you get to know them. People usually look into Ultramarines, dig the wider lore but not them, and then move on to another chapter or faction that does click with them
Shame cause way back, they used to be more "Noble Roman conqueror" types, but they've just been made into the boring posterboys. Shame.

>>714401689
You can deny it, but it is the truth.

>>714399053
>Marines have become utterly boring.
As they are supposed to be.
Marines entire point is to milk american paypigs by jerking off their ego.
When GW wants to make something good they look straight opposite

>>714403595
>It's a retcon. That's why GW said "there were ALWAYS fem Custodes".
Retcon or not it still adds literally nothing and removes literally nothing, it's about as important as their writers going back and changing the spelling or whatever made up words they've written, which is why it was such a bullshit move.

At best you could argue that the Custodes were supposed to be Es attempt at a "Humanity v2.1" but he never finished or gave up on the project and that is why there are both male and female Custodes.

>>714403595
why would E make female costudes when females are gross and have cooties? it makes no sense

>>714403261
>Custodes are one of the most popular armies
They aren't. They're one of the smallest armies in the game and half their kits are heinously overpriced Resin. Generally speaking, the only 'pros' of Custodes are
>They're easy to paint (Gold, red, wash, done)
>They're high Points-Per-Model (Low model count army, easier to assemble and manage)
>They can share models with Horus Heresy (However that requires Resin investment)
Meanwhile the cons are;
>Skew army if you don't dump money Resin (You have 3-4 units to spam and some characters, that's basically it)
>Even if you do go for resin they're absurdly boring to play as or against (Your basic infantry are as tougher than Terminators, if your opponent hasn't specifically tailored their army to deal with Custodes you're just going to table them. If they have, they're going to table you. Again, skew list)
>Resin, lmao (Expensive, poor to work with, often not in stock and when it is it's in low quantities, the detail it SOMETIMES provides is almost never worth the cost)
Custodes fucking suck as an army, my dude.

>>714399553
>Seth was not very satisfied, thinking that Roboute Guilliman would just turn the Flesh Tearers and other Chapters of Sanguinius' bloodline into bland copies of Ultramarines in red armour.

Gabriel Seth was right.

Reminder that Warhammer fantasy is better than 40 k

>>714404130
most marine chapters outside of the smurfs are the opposite of boring. they're generally absolutely batshit insane. space marines are easily the most diverse "faction" in WH40K, even moreso than chaos. too bad the smurfs are the posterboys, so /v/irgins assume all marines are like that. though I guess with primaris marines neutering every single chapter, maybe they all are boring now.

>>714404504
Yes, but not the old world.

>mfw I play bloodbowl

>>714403595
>Space Marines are mass produced.
Wat?
Maybe with the Primaris bullshit, but Space Marines were NOT mass produced.
Each marine was hand selected or put through rigorous once-a-generation trials to just get added to the pool of possible candidates.
After that, they had to get tested genetically, put through more trials, finally given all of the drugs/organs, and if they survive that, then they get the last BIG trial to get elevated to basic-bitch scout marine (for most chapters, some do it differently)
Each marine is a fucking massive investment, in regards to manpower, technology, and medical procedures.
tldr: No, they are not mass produced.

>>714404569
>most marine chapters outside of the smurfs

>>714404797
>He fell for the Marinewank
Buddy Marines ain't special. Chapters constantly have to replenish their numbers due to attrition. Their saving grace is that Marines tend to deploy in small enough numbers that the individual attrition rate is slow, but when itcomes to actual recruitment they absolutely are mass produced assembly line soldiers.
You have to really keep in mind that the recruitment pool for Marines is basically limitless and even if one wave of potential recruits fails they'll have another several dozen on site within a day or two.

Unsafe manly.

I'm not sure this was lore even after the custodes were no longer normal soldiers.
The last lore before the most recent update was that the sons of Terra's nobility were chosen for recruitment.
I'm not sure when the lore that they're chosen to be gene edited as recently birthed babies (at which point you'd ask why they're not vat grown) was invented.
>>714404159
Because only men will receive his seed, which is why women did too.

>>714403595
Custodes were never something that stopped being made after Big E was on the throne. They keep their numbers at 10k, but they've always been able to make more.

>>714406971
Justification for new gear.
Keep in mind Primaris even in-universe is only one or two new implants, most of the 'upgrade' came from wargear and equipment enhancements.
What made it so dangerous to 'cross the Primaris rubicon' was that one of the implants require removing the Black Carapace to install it.
Meanwhile gear wise Marines got

>>714410134

>>714408737
Well anon, Yes. Banshees are dedicated Marine killers on tabletop, hitting on 2+ and wounding on 3+ while forcing the Marines to save on a 5+. They deal 2 damage a swing so every unsaved attack equates to a dead Marine, and each one gets two swings per fight. Exarchs are even worse, and can punch down several Terminators in one fight.

>>714410004
They should make an action RPG where the game will make you question if you are alpharius all along. Game starts just after Alpharius gets """killed""" while possessing a legionnaire while pulling an ebin prank with the primarchs' statues inside the imperial palace. Your objectives all involve giving both sides a hard time. Doubt there's a studio who can pull that off.

>>714401490
Did you bother to read A Thousand Sons? Magnus was the only one the Emperor told the whole truth about Chaos too, Magnus just completely disregarded it and went, "I know better about these huge Chaos entities, they seem nice." That was after the Emperor said, "These massive Chaos entities are deceptive and pure evil and will twist and corrupt everything if you let your guard down."

Magnus might be the only character in the entire setting who did everything wrong. Sure, Horus was mentally retarded and got deceived by something only a reddit Atheist+ member would fall for, but that was also on the Emperor. But Magnus was actually provided direct and comprehensive information about the Warp from the moment his consciousness formed and he still managed to fuck it all up.

why can't the emperor just get better, what exactly is killing him?

>>714415786
Instead of obliterating Horus' soul the Emperor just killed him normally, which for Primarchs means nothing now. The Emperor even said he's expecting Horus' return.

Way to go James Workshop, now give me 10 novels about Space Marines going against spiky Space Marines

>>714417982
Xenos have been rapidly pushed to the side more and more to promote Imperium vs Spikey Imperium (Not Chaos mind you, because Abaddon is super special and is actually stronger than Chaos).
Primarchs with special quirk powers are looming on the horizon, with Lion already showing up ans getting teleportation powers out of nowhere.
The negative aspects of the Imperium are being pushed under the rug to promote the better marleting angle that the Imperium are totally good guys.

>>714418296

Dorn is almost certainly going to come back
Russ is also likely to return
Jagatai is also free real estate (If they're not cowards they return him as some kind of fucked up drukhari pain slave)

Jaghatai alone would give them more money than the entire Dark Eldar faction. GW is stupid, but they're not that stupid.

I have only a passing interest in 40k from my friend making me play SM2 with him but the cadians are by far the most interesting faction to me as far as the imperium goes.

That sounds shitty. I'm a big orkz and nids fan, but considering the spess marheens are easily the most profitable faction, thats hardly surprising.

idk about Magnus but Mortarion is/was busy sulking in Nurgle's domain, isn't he?

Daemons Princes are basically mortal souls who have completely given themselves to Chaos until one of the Four give them a piece of their powers to make them exponentially more power, and immortal by most means, on the condition that the Chaos God can take that power back at any time or just simply puppet their bodies and minds around. They basically become an extension of their wills.

Primarchs are immortal souls crafted or stolen (but likely both) from the Wrap that the Emperor put inside physical bodies genetically grown from his DNA. The end result is essentially the same but Primarchs have free will while Daemon Princes, for all intent and purpose, don't

Slaanesh is my favorite chaos god, and the EC being a bunch of freaks obsessed with perfection in some form or another, mixed with weird body horror that isn't just "LOL MAGIC" or "LOL BRACHES" is fun. The fall from grace is also quite nice.
>>714423559

>>714423683

>>714415565
We get more vague hints about them with every book. I'm half expecting them to return in a few editions as an independent faction, not following the Imperium's rules

>>714424264
so heretics then?

>>714423865
Slaanesh is gay, the grimmest chaos god is nurgle. People on reddit talk like they think he's a cool guy, but aside from his greater daemons enjoying themselves (a greater daemon essentially being the god himself, so that's just him enjoying himself), all the nurgle stories are so grim that it almost makes you want to stop reading. It's not 40K, but the Fall of Altdorf book, with the imperials trying to hold on to a city that's literally crumbling to dust around them, is some of the most hopeless fiction I've read in a while. With absolutely no humor or enjoyment to it, which is pretty rare these days. Man, it really sucks they killed off fantasy, it was one of the few truly grimdark settings left; the new version that replaced it is basically world of warcraft in how gay and sparkly it is. But I digress.
Anyway, Slaanesh is gay and Lucius is the biggest faggot in the setting. Fuck that guy.

>>714423865
>The fall from grace is also quite nice.
I like that about them as well. I wish the other traitor legions were similar. Most of the other traitor legions seemed like fuckups from the get go like the World Eaters or mostly still have their shit together like Iron Warriors or Word Bearers.

>>714424538
>Slaanesh is gay
Not really. All the lore I've read that dares to go into detail about sex they're usually raping women.

>>714421774
It's difficult to put into words just what's so retarded about it. I think the main issue is that it attracts a sort of person who uses it as a vehicle to self-insert into a power fantasy. Which is fine, I suppose, but at a certain point you have to be able to take a step back and acknowledge that it's kind of childish. But WH40K is filled with imagery and references to ancient Rome, which many uneducated people immediately equate to being "deep" or "meaningful," and because they get taken in by Latin words. So WH40K fans are in a headspace where they get to be wildly self-indulgent (e.g. drawing fanart of space marines butchering characters from other franchises, spamming "PRAISE THE EMPEROR" in places no one asked for, etc) while ALSO believing that their thing is "super deep." GW also has a history of ripping off ideas from other authors which 40K fans mistake as originated content, which leads to them ascribing more merit to the franchise than its earned. Most 40K fans don't even know that the Arms of Chaos symbol wasn't created by anyone at GW, but by Michael Moorcock. WH40K isn't bad, but it's got to the point that it's taking itself WAY too fucking seriously and attracting a very annoying species of fan boy.

>>714424850
its like any fanbase really. some people just get way too deep into the sauce

>>714424803
But seriously though, Slaanesh is next on the chopping block, right? Can't have any of that sexy-stuff in the increasingly mainstream and neutered version of 40K they're cultivating. Maybe that makes him based after all.

>>714424538
>Slaanesh is gay and Lucius is the biggest faggot in the setting. Fuck that guy
Exactly, that's sort of why I love the faction. Slaanesh is gay, Slaanesh is straight. Slaanesh is anything at it's most extreme. Lucius is an ego-maniac who can never re-match the people who beat him. Slaanesh marines are all hard focused on one thing to the extreme.
>>714424616
I'd say the other "fall from grace" legion is oddly the World Eaters, but it's more of a "what could have been" with Angron. Once the nails were in his head his fate was forever sealed.

>>714423090
I am mentally unwell. I have an addiction to arguing with strangers on the internet.

>>714424985
They already changed Slaanesh from the pleasure god to the perfection and excess god.

>>714424960
True

>>714424990
I don't know it seems even before the nails or even before Angron the legion were a bunch of mean bastards. They should have had them more akin to the Ultramarines or Fists and show their descent into madness from the nails. Same deal with Death Guard. It'd better illustrate the corrupting nature of Chaos if they had fallen from loftier heights.

>>714424850
Literally nobody on the face of this planet has ever called 40k deep.

People like 40k because it's a miniature art / wargame hobby that has a significant amount of lore behind it.
You, on the other hand, are posting on an online forum about toys made for children and calling people enjoying the uber-ridiculousness of sed hobby 'childless'. I don't even play 40k but holy shit dude wake the fuck up, you are in the simulation, you have no free will or original thoughts.

>>714425696

Warhammer 40k was just a bunch of nerds making a game out of Nemesis the Warlock.

>>714424850
Are there annoying neckbeardy lorefags? Yes. That's true of almost all fandoms though. At least 40k somewhat naturally gatekeeps itself, because there's an actual hobby aspect. Honestly though, I just like space fantasy and trying to be creative and making/painting dudes.

>>714426073
quantity over quality sells in sci-fi though

unlike reddithammer 40k, fantasy actually does have clear good and bad factions, no "le morally grey!" bullshit

>>714433049
Difference between 40k and Fantasy is that 40k has millions of planets that let the writers make imperium as awful or tolerable as needed for the story or game, while Fantasy is just kinda in a limbo of vague definition. If you want actual good-vs-bad, go look at Age of Sigmar.

>I think the main issue is that it attracts a sort of person who uses it as a vehicle to self-insert into a power fantasy.

As someone who got into 40k lore back in the mid 2010s, it was the opposite, I feel that the over-the top extremity of the setting in having billions die to take a hilltop was the interesting part, space marines dieing en-masse included. The Imperium was more of a morbid fascination of how civilization got that bad, and wasn't an object of aspiration.

But that was when 40k was more grimdark, nowadays the whole turn to Space Marines are heroic feels more stale to me than Space Marines are the bare minimum to hold the line against far more powerful xenos.

>>714405307

Look at wow, at the start, the story wasn't exactly shoved in your face. There was lore tidbits around that you had to go out of your way to find. Whatever was going on in the story was a backdrop. Then you started to get quest hubs with notable npcs, then you only got questhubs with notable npcs, then you need to follow whatever fucking retard character is relevant this expansion every fucking step of the way, to the point you can't even do end game stuff without finishing the "story".

Never had a problem with fan fic existing, but I always thought if they started getting into writing positions it would be awful, and it has been. Same shit in University now, you have 4th year students writing the most awful fucking fiction and getting 4.0's for it.

>>714401178
i never really got into 40k, but I liked reading some things about it. it just gets more stupid to the point its not even funny the further you look into the lore.

I genuinely can't fully get into 40k because the characters and lore is way too forcefully geeky, like they tried extra hard to make every single thing sound like something you'd hear used as a joke on the Big Bang Theory, Fantasy Battle is way better.

I'm pretty sure he did explain it to at least some of them like magnus, horus,and corvus

>>714421463
>>tried to ignore reality
Honestly that's just flat out wrong at this point. It's pretty confirmed that the emperor was lying about the Imperial Truth and it was more or less an excuse to completely stamp out all religions so that all of humanity worshipped him now that they have this whole sub plot that Abnett is trying to hammer in about the Emperor becoming ascending to become genuine warp God and not just some near omnipotent psyker

>>714456728

>with how the culture is shifting GW might shift from trying to tone it down to openly endorsing
I mean it's not like the zealotry is gone or anything , even Guilliman is starting to question whether the emperor is a god now

>>714457159
GW focuses a lot less on the obvious rwds larping and edge these days and more on character drama. It's just not the same

>>714397924 (OP)
Having a perfectly diverse racial mix of characters was pretty telling.

>>714458153
How did they retcon it?

>>714397924 (OP)
Okay, space marines are the farthest from woke-approved anything, they don't accept women and they hate aliens and they devoutly worship their religion

>>714458153
>>714415942
>>714417894
>>714416058
Reminder that they casually dropped that Necrons have the technology to fully restore the emperor with Trazyn wanting to do so to add him to his collection so if they wanted to they could seriously bring him back for 40K

>>714458225
You mean like Predator and other 80s action movies?

>>714458240
They made a clone of Horus , Fabius Bile did it because he could don't ask questions

>>714446552
That's like only liking womens asses for the shit.

>>714458240
Fabulous Billy is making clones of all the primarchs meaning they'll eventually ALL be turned into units in 40K

>>714398209
Crunchposting?

>>714458397
>>714458606
Clones of primarchs are not primarchs, they lack the powerful souls of the originals.

>>714458935
Yeah turns out that deal Big E made witj chaos made all his sons latent psykers or something

>>714458935
40K "souls" are just warp powers and are cloneable

All lost primarchs will be found. All traitor primarchs will be redeemed, all dead primarchs will return. The emperor will get up from his throne.

Probably the Badab War
>One Space Marine chapter falls to Chaos and secede a few planet from the Imperium
>It happens
>Several Loyalists chapters misunderstand the situation and are honorbound to help their brothers, so they try to block any further escalation in the conflict until they can get a read on the situation
>High Lords of Terra flip their shit and send orders to crush this "rebellion" at full force, even though most members of this "rebellion" were good loyalists who simply found themselves in a bad spot and never tried to actually attack anyone from the Imperium
>Carcharodons (and probably Raptors idk) show up and massacre them

>caring about "good" fagmarines
>not enjoying cool factions like the steel legion, vostroyans, drukhari or even 'nids
american's inability to hold several thoughts in their head and separate themselves from their identity makes it impossible for cooler factions to shine.

>>714436652
Anon that's a chaos champion, your average Warhammer fantasy fag never encounters this guy to begin with

>>714459123
Souls aren't warp powers, the warp is the realm of souls. Fulgrim's clone wasn't literally creating a new Fulgrim, the clone still had some of Fulgrim's memories so it's more less Bile was able to somehow "resurrect" a part of Fulgrim's soul

>>714459742
>cool factions like druhkari and vostroyans
Lol, lmao even. What American base hosted the marine that fucked your crush btw?

>>714459772
They share the same soul which also contains memories so when the clone kills the daemon original it will reclaim the soul and result in a purified original primarch

That's going to be the next 30 years of 40K story

>>714446239
Raptors are more of modern military type guys. They tend to change their armor's camo depending on the mission and tend to act you would expect a modern soldier to act. For the Carcarodons, their reputation caplme from badab

>>714436652
This is Fantasy dude, you are going to cavalry charge that Bloodthirster

>>714420136
can i have them please

>>714402957
>In GWs defense, I don't think they ever actually said anything about their background other than "badass warriors that swore their lives to E"
No, they did, they just don't care.

>>714459931
but they really aren't cops hell they barely even interact with the imperium as a whole. They kind of just showed up to badab to loot shit for the most part and everyone kind of just went along with it

>>714459931
the badab war is so weird to me, space marines on the same side but they are still fighting each other? how there been any recording of space marine chapters fighting against each other in the past then working with each other? how are the tensions during that?

>>714459123
While genetics do play a part in warp powers the primarchs original souls were basically super concentrated warp stuff the emperor created/stole and stuffed inside the primarchs. And it effects everything about what they are not just psychic powers, but also their strength, intelligence, and charisma. Without their original souls they're basically just super primaris marines.
>>714459931
Raptors seem to be based on the green berets to me. They work in small teams, take command of local forces, and are experts in guerrilla warfare.

>>714401178
>Trying to flesh the universe out too much was a mistake
many such cases when it comes to writing fictional settings.

>>714401280
So what are the odds after Trump became president and companies stopping with the DEI shit that GW will try to sweep this under the rug and says Femstodes never happened?

>>714401280
That's a man

>>714459364
The Astral Claws didn't even look to Chaos until the aftermath of the conflict; Huron simply wasn't interested in paying taxes like how the wider Imperium wasn't interested in dealing with the Maelstrom beyond the Ring of Steel. Ironically they got a way bigger glowup after becoming the Red Corsairs, though.

A metric shitload of chapters also joined the conflict really, but Sallies were the only first-founding one involved. The Raptors were there, but emphasis on Red Scorpions too because lol Forge World.

>>714460524
Badab is essentially the biggest Space Marine civil war since the Heresy - and with minimal Chaos involvement at that (they just ganked two chapter masters on both sides). Some chapters were honor-bound to the Astral Claws and were put on penitent crusades after the conflict. From a real-world perspective, it was more or less GW's answer to the amount of SM mirror matches going on and offering a narrative incentive.

>>714461103
>he doesn't know
The war of the false primarch was larger with 11 rebelling chapters and the largest imperium civil war would either be the nova terra interregnum or everything that happened in the age of apostasy/plague of unbelief

>>714400826
>You're the last person on earth who should talk about getting laid
No, that honor would be mine, not his.

>>714403324
Whats weird about this post is they were written alot closer to daddy issue manchildren, then got powerboosted into the idea of being gods.

>>714402957
It's a firm retcon. That said, GW's commitment to Femstodes is not very solidified. It's been over a year, and the best they've had was a short story to move a dogshit codex and a single animation through a service nobody cares about. Era of Ruin surprisingly doesn't even bring them up despite ADB wanting them originally, otherwise there's going to be a later release wave of 30k-era stuff for Custodes and only time will tell if they'll have female models at all. Seems like it would be easy to undo if anyone gave a fuck, it's just as easy to ignore for the time being.

>>714461271
Equal to Badab at the very minimum, but there's very scant detail about that conflict comparatively.

>>714460916
i dont think the brits give a fuck what the us president says

>>714436652
yes, and?

>>714417080
Wouldn't Lorgar approve indulging in earthly delights? Also I figured Mortarion didn't like his legion much and would be more on the coffee side.

>>714397924 (OP)
Fantasy is more interesting but 40k has better games.
Good Fantasy games would be the Total War ones (Warhammer 3 is in a good spot now), and Vermintide.
40k has games dating back decades and has consistently had both good and bad releases. Dawn of War, Rogue Trader, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, Mechanicus, etc etc
