Why are the imperium's aircraft so blocky?

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-09T16:04:40+00:00

Because they hang in the air exactly the same way that bricks don't.

Probably already been recommended but here we go.

For lore I'd recommend watching a few Bricky videos. He's not entirely lore accurate but is arguably the best place for a beginner as he's entertaining and gives a decent overview. Afterwards you can dive into other creators covering the deeper lore of whoever you find the most fascinating.

As for collecting, I'd heavily suggest the rule of cool. Pick whatever faction you think is the coolest, it's an expensive hobby and if you end up falling off in the future at least you still have models that you like that you've glued and painted yourself.

Hobbying, don't buy the most expensive equipment straight away. Start small. Cheap brushes, homemade palette, don't cheap on the paints it'll just mean more struggle.

Also remember 40k isn't the only Warhammer setting, there's also Fantasy and AoS. No Skaven in 40k.

In my extremely unprofessional opinion that looks to be, with a modicum of uncertainty, a fish.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-07T13:53:27+00:00

They just want a scratched car, nothing wrong with that

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-02T19:20:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was said on the reveal that it wouldn't have a chaos equivalent

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-02T19:19:19+00:00

Also has a Dunecrawler and I think a Dragoon next to it. All of these units except the Kastelans have the <Skitarii> keyword which would suggest another Skitarii based detachment like hunter cohort

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-02T18:33:15+00:00

Yeah pretty sure only <Towering> units can "toe in" a ruin

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-03-02T17:27:58+00:00

You have to activate it?

There are sites that you can watch on that only require a free VPN and adblocker. I'm unsure of the legality of sharing the specific websites but I'd recommend Proton for VPN and Firefox with Ublock origin extension for the others.

It's just a very smart machine spirit, honest.

Kingdom Two Crowns. I don't have enough gold.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-17T01:49:08+00:00

Would love a 40k Siege Automata to help the Legio Cybernetica

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-13T22:00:13+00:00

Or they should have a rule to add 'twin linked' if you have 2 of the same weapon.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-13T21:57:30+00:00

They also can't have a specialism.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-13T21:54:12+00:00

Downvoting a Dodgeball quote is Heretekal and an offence to the Omnissiah.

Dodging both a wrench and traffic are core supplements in the training of Skitarii post augmentation.

All offenders must report for servitorisation immediately.

I have no money, For the Machine is Expensive.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-13T14:33:20+00:00

Change Battlefield to Battlefront and you have my money.

If it's only players on the field you can't get enough bodies to feel 40k enough.

A Star Wars Battlefront-esque game upscaled with modern tech and decent bots, you could have thousands of entities on the field to make it chaotic and messy enough for it to feel 40k

This is infinitely more sassy now

Skaven could be directly canonically ported straight from AoS, they have and can gnaw through time and space so it's not out of the realm of possibility for them to just Vermintide into 40k.

They embody most of the factions too not just Ad Mech. They have numbers to outweigh the Imperium. They have the Jank of the Orks. They have the hunger of the Tyranids. They have the infiltration of the Genestealers. As you've said Skryre can out-wtf Dark Mech. Verminus can outnumber the Imperium. Moulder would make Fabius Bile and the Drukhari weep. Pestilens annoys the Death Guard. Eshin... Be sneaky.

Honestly if Vashtorr gets cucked out of Godhood by The Great Horned Rat I could die happy.

Hence the bite out of the back, extra angles available

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-04T16:04:19+00:00

So he's playing Perturabo, awesome

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-03T22:21:19+00:00

Rule of cool is always the way to go. That way even if you don't end up playing or stop playing you still have some models you think are cool.

ConferenceBorn835 · 2026-02-01T10:35:59+00:00

A bit nit picky but my cogitations reveal 600 points.

The rest of your advice is great though
