Thank you! Some nice reading

Some links would be nice

No, because they aren’t the ones footing the expenses

At least in 40k you have cool spaceships and bionics and whatnot

but the lore seems to be dogshit. Like worse than 40k in some aspects.

I’m still waiting to find some western game or whatever with not dogshit lore. If you think 40k is bad, try Battletech. Specifically the stuff on before the Star League, their version of Cold War end, etc.

I know you are

You’re in this meme

Excellent star! I envy the steadiness of your hands

Maybe it’s a skill issue then

Not to worry, I also have two whole squads of Deathwatch! They gotta be in good shape, right? They’re space marines, so they should be fine, r-right?!

Some of the Warhammer books can be pretty self aware, it just goes over the head, usually. Even Cain. Even some space marine books

Nice list and thanks! I’m also running admech, but the one game I played (500 pts, 8th ed I think?), I got tabled by my friend’s TSons. But at least I got to zap Ahriman in the face with s volkite!

Good stuff, comrade

Very nice, very guard. All friendlies kia, objective accomplished. Excellently in-line with the lore. May I ask what list your friend had?

Let’s not pretend Tau are socialist, ja?

Very nice! May I ask which paints are you using?

You’re braver than I

Because Warhammer, at its core, is a product of British liberals. You might as well ask why the post-scarcity utopia the Aeldari had built devolved into a nightmare of bloodied hedonism so terrible, it literally gave birth to a god of excess.

If you mean lore wise, I am pretty sure it wasn’t always that way (before the Imperium, that is), but a looong chain of bad decisions and various fuckery made it inevitable

Can’t say I blame you. Funnily enough, I’ve not met that many legit Imperium supporters among the fans, there’s maybe one person who simps for Great Crusade era specifically, but that’s about it. Other Imperium fans I know are pretty honest about it being a shithole.

What gets me are unironic necron simps. Now those I’ve seen a-plenty. It’s one thing to acknowledge they have some cool and advanced technology, it’s a completely different thing to go “well they see a galaxy filled with vermin and they’re right to want everyone dead”.

Welp, time to catch some flak, I guess. You see, I actually like the Imperium. Now, I don’t think they are “good guys” in any shape or form, Emperor forbid. I just like the style. Mark III Power armour just looks awesome, fite me.

AdMech is also cool, although I disagree heavily with GWs decision to make them steampunk/Da Vinci styled. Should’ve stuck with Blanche-esque horrific post-apocaliptic techno-barbarianism.

Finally I will say this. I’ve been around multiple Warhammer communities and multiple RPs. And there’s one thing I have learned - all factions are cool in their own way, it’s the fans that suck and make everything terrible

Well they’ve succeeded. Now what?
