Why does 4chan bend over backwards defending these two IPs so much what drives you to do so?

warhammer fantasy is uniromically good and has good vidya

40k WAS good and grogs will defend it, but the nu-40k fans are obnoxious

>>715735112 (OP)
That's kind of more a /tg/ topic.
While there's been a pretty big bredth of vidya for both settings, a lot of it has ranged from outright bad to serviceable enough to be forgotten to iconic.

It is funny that as Fantasy was killed for AoS it got some of its best adaptations between both Vermintides, Total Warhammer, kind of Bloodbowl, and Mordheim.

Fantasy has good games, 40k is garbage for "based" morons.

I don't think anybody here vehemently defends GWs retard choice of the week for lore. Even in ancient grognard times they were fucking retards. People just like the general vibes of some lore pieces and some edition of the game or secondary material like DoW 1/2.

Warhammer fantasy became the best total war game, TWW2.

Fags who try to act like Warhammer Fantasy is superior to 40k are blinded since both fanbase are fucking garbage

>>715736997
This, normally i think calling something "safe[x]" is retarded, but i think calling nu40k safebased is pretty appropiate

>>715736010
Warhammer has literally never been good, the models and rules were always shit and the lore entirely subsisted on shit stolen from other properties or just IRL history with names changed around
As soon as GW tried to actually make anything new the brand fell apart

I used to use /twg/ and you faggots who say Fantasy fans are normal are rich I swear to god if I have to read yet another beast man rapes an elf green text im turning leftist

>>715739002
Oh my god thats horrible! Any links?

>>715739002
I too do not understand why everyone is okay with saying 40k fans are bad when Fantasy fans act the same way

>>715739002
becasue any actual historical fan was ran out of /twg/ since its just warhammer autists now. This is how it is in real life too actual historical table top gamers consider both Warhammers cringe yet fantasy fags think they are part of the club

>>715739002
You forgot the rape fanfic with Orcs, the furfag fanfics with skaven too

>>715740718
Hey now, we don't just sexualize the rats, we also lust after the great plan and the spawning pools.

>>715739002
Fantasy fanboys can act superior since they are a minority to 40k but they are both loaded with weridos who scream to much

>>715739881
There are still Shogun or Rome autists trying to stand firm in /twg/

>>715741656
I mean, when was the last historical title that was a really big hit? It feels like that side has floundered for a bit. The old games are very much still worth playing, but without that "new sheen" will there be many still doing and talking about it?

I've never played any of the video games, but I've read a bunch of Gotrek & Felix Warhammer books and I love the world. I didn't realize it was all so Germanic. Every village and character has a Germanic name. I found that super unique for fantasy worlds. Everything else tries to borrow from a bunch of various cultures, but Warhammer is just like NO WE'RE GERMAN FANTASY WORLD FOR MEN. I also love that Warhammer doesn't follow the gay ass D&D route and make all the monsters victims. They're just fucking evil and must die. They also have the best Dwarves in fantasy. Haven't met any elves yet in the books though. What are Warhammer elves like?

For Warhammer 40k I've read the Eisenhorn and Gaunt's Ghosts books and they're also cool as fuck. I saw some YouTuber saying Warhammer 40k is all just silly satire and maybe I missed the point.. but in the books it doesn't feel like satire, it feels like an incredibly cool and interesting world that portrays some of the historically positive elements of fighting under a godlike monarch in a fascist society against evil enemies. There are a few social commentaries on humanity, but more in a cyberpunk sense and a general critique of corruption and zealotry. Like... everyone knows that the God Emperor of mankind is the good guy in this story right? Do Redditors hate mankind?

Do any of the games out there fit in with the lore of the 90s books or are they all modern and satirical slop now?
