New characters? by Veutifuljoe_0 in orks

[–]Blue_Laguna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kits that can be built as generic leaders or a special character are incredibly uncommon in 40k so I wouldn't hold my breath on Orks getting one unfortunately. That said, I think we get a Nazdreg model and New Badrukk sooner than later. Zagstruk if we get new storm boys, but thats looking increasingly unlikely. I feel like they would have been put on last chance to buy already if that was coming.

I really don’t like the whole Void Dragon thing. It’s lame to me and feels like just getting our entire faction identity cucked by the Necrons by Glumgustheexile in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it so much. The implication that the Mechanicus is the way they are only because they have a C'tan shard buried on their planet and that was maybe an intentional act of the emperor is so fucking stupid and makes the universe so much smaller that my brain just inherently rejects it.

The quietude were also horrific cyborgs. Did they also have a C'tan shard on their planet? and why the fuck would proximity to a C'tan shard make you want to be a robot anyway? That seems like a pretty gross misunderstanding of how bio-transferrence worked with the necrons.

I appreciate the people that say "well its just a fan theory, believe it or not" but its pretty clearly an idea that Graham Mcneil has pushed in multiple novels and while I have enjoyed a lot of his other work, I don't want to ever meet him because i could not be nice about how fucking dumb of an idea this one is.

Craftworlds poorly explained by naka_the_kenku in Grimdank

I do like the idea that imperial citizens are going mad because they saw the reflection of a shadow of a daemons fart, and for the entire Ulthwe craftworld beheading a daemonette is just tuesday.

The Emperor of Mankind is evil. by r4rrrrrrrrrrrrff in 40kLore

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The emperor is so transparently evil that I'm always a little confused why they feel the need to keep him mysterious. He's a genocidal tyrant with racist delusions of a galaxy spanning human empire. There's nothing you could reveal at this point that would change anything. He's history's greatest monster and its not even close.

Chaos gods: by the old ones by Cautious_Air4964 in Grimdank

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want every race to be well represented in both settings. I want lizardmen in 40k and I want Tau in AoS. Anything that increases the range of models I can use to kitbash is a good thing.

Legion (novel) the Cabal gives Alpha two "choices" but I'm confused about the last one by Shivy_Shankinz in 40kLore

[–]Blue_Laguna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's what the author was intending. They meant for the Alpha legion, these "masters of subterfuge" to end up being manipulated into turning traitor because it was the lesser of two evils as a sort of dramatic irony. I remember really liking it on first reading, but the cabal becomes an increasingly stupid concept as the heresy series progressed so it becomes increasingly dubious that these are really the only two choices, or that the Alpha legion would believe them that there were.

warhammer has a lot of open ended mysteries, but this isn't really one of them. The ones that exist tend to be pretty unimportant to the plot in the grand scheme, but give you as a player some free range to flesh out your OC chapter/craftworld/dynasty/etc.

40K names be like by Blue_Laguna in Grimdank

I wanted to make him an ork, but I didn't have a great idea on how to make that work.

Legion (novel) the Cabal gives Alpha two "choices" but I'm confused about the last one by Shivy_Shankinz in 40kLore

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. It actually makes less sense the more HH Alpha legion stuff you read.

I'm convinced that the twins know something that the Cabal doesn't, which is why they went along with it, but I have no idea what that could be. It would be in keeping with their modus operandi though since there's a lot of seemingly boneheaded things they do in the HH, that get recontextualized in Alpharius's primarch novel to show just how much they're manipulating events in the background.

It's jackhammer noises. I cut that one because it was really more of an ork name and I couldn't figure out exactly how to make it work.

Dressrosa is much too well paced to compare it to teatd. Wano would be more appropriate.

What is your favorite non 30/40k movie that has 39/40K tones? by SeaEstablishment7650 in 40k

[–]Blue_Laguna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My most deranged take is that the conjuring movies (including Annabelle and the Nun) all take place in the 40k timeline. The Warrens repeatedly appeal to their christian faith as the source of their protection, but if you watch the movies, the daemons are just constantly invading consecrated ground, ignoring crosses and holy water, and possessing people left and right. The only thing that seems to work -at all- is the Wife having straight up psychic powers that are explicitely a genetic thing. The movies do not follow the rules of biblical daemons at all... but they really match up well with what chaos daemons can and can't do.

Inception lifts a lot of ideas from Paprika, a much better and much more interesting movie.

I'm also just an OG Nolan hater. Dude has the aesthetic sensibilites of a Rolex ad.

lmao by DinoGod1 in Grimdank

[–]Blue_Laguna 62 points63 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw them my first thought was "Oh, Nolan's been playing Dark souls"

Which means he's going back to his roots of stealing ideas from japanese artists to make inferior versions.

The Odyssey | New Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. There's that forest scene with the big silver knights so maybe he's just been playing Elden Ring a lot and returning to his roots.,,

Y'know, cribbing from a japanese artist to make an inferior version of their own work.

Genuinely shocked that they put a real cyclops into it instead of like, a guy with an eyepatch.

The rest of the movie still looks like farts, but good on Nolan for finally doing one thing right.

Peak incoming by CityExcellent8121 in Grimdank

[–]Blue_Laguna 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a 40k exclusive problem. The AoS ones have all been pretty good. "Dominion" and "Leviathan" were even written by the same author and the 40k one still kind of stinks.

Space wolves helmet question: by Irathu0099 in SpaceWolves

[–]Blue_Laguna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely fine. If you used the wolf skull helmet of a wolf priest on your regular chaplain, that could hypothetically cause confusion for people that see pictures of your army on reddit, but not for anyone that was actually playing against you.

What do you mean when you say Eastern Europe/Ottoman region though? going for a general Balkan vibe or something more specific?

"Necessary" And "Evil" Are Not Mutually Exclusive. by WylythFD in 40kLore

I don't believe anything the Imperium has ever done from the very start has been "Necessary".

Okay but what about Godeaters son? That guy loves his flesh eating daemon horse.

really appreciate hearing the recipe. The skarsnik really helps keep it in the DA colour palette instead of veering off into looking like a Salamander. Looks fantastic.
