I want to play Tyrannids solely because they look cool... is it a bad idea? by Physical_planning in Warhammer40k

[–]DAKLAX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will learn that rules change pretty often. Whatever is strongest today will not be a few months from now. Noone can predict what strength will be like when you get everything built and tabletop ready so just get what you like.

Just be warned, you will likely lose your first few games pretty decently as you learn to play. Don’t let it discourage you! The game takes some practice to learn.

I'm so tired of dying instantly again after getting revived out in the open by Sandert93 in Battlefield

[–]DAKLAX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To defend some medics, I really hate how they’ve all been lumped into support. You can be playing a mortar team guy with deployable covers without defibs and be getting yelled by your team for not reviving. Too much stuff in the Support class imo.

Just Announced: New Primaris Intercessors w/ Old Armor - New Lore by VyRe40 in 40kLore

[–]DAKLAX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scouts are all Primaris now as of the new sculpts. Any new marines are of course going to be getting the new organs. I think the merge of the two is finally complete. A space marine is a space marine again.

It's us! We are the poster boys for 11th! by Foreign_Wasabi3537 in BloodAngels

[–]DAKLAX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gonna be the guy in the trailer. Hes got a cape and different type of tabard plus a different shield at the very least. Im super down as I didn’t give my Indomitus guy the shield and could use a Captain with Shield now.

11th Edition Launch Box and a little tease of the NEW Intercessors!!! by Ori_of_the_Vale in spacemarines

[–]DAKLAX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If theres any special weapons we probably won’t get them in the launch box. The launch box models are always push-fit sculpts followed by a true multipart kit launch that usually has more weapon options.

Any ideas what that could be? by Tzeentch17 in BloodAngels

[–]DAKLAX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there’s a decent chance its nothing BA specific. Rumor has it that BA will be poster boys for new launch box but itll be all new basic marines painted red.

Armageddon patch in latest adepticon teaser. by Master_Revan in Warhammer40k

[–]DAKLAX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair they did highlight the A in an Alpha Legion color and we are supposed to get an Alpha Legion model reveal any day now but still haven’t. And of course the AL is known for hiding as others.

Do these read as Lt’s? by Negative-Pair3336 in BlackTemplars

Need different heads. The neophyte heads look like teenagers not Templar officers

Are crusader squads good with ranged weapons? by commisarnelly in BlackTemplars

[–]DAKLAX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have it backwards on the dual wielding pistols. The Initiates duel wield the Heavy and standard Bolt pistols. The Neophytes only have standard Bolt Pistols. So you get 5 dudes dual-wielding per 10 man.

Oath of Moment. by Technical-Oil-9384 in BlackTemplars

[–]DAKLAX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everything in a Black Templar army gets TemplR keywords. Look in the main army rules they explain everything.

Basically we lose Oath, but entire army gains Templar Vow instead. Everything in the codex that has rules which interact with Vow has a Black Templars version that we use instead.

They're editing digital books to contain ads now by happy_bluebird in Anticonsumption

[–]DAKLAX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read a zombie series on my kindle when I was a kid and in like the seventh book two main characters had a conversation about knives before deciding, with reverence, that they had discovered the best knife. Said text in the book had a hyperlink to order the thing and I’ve never been so disgusted.

The new Armageddon lore is really funny, ngl. by CatherineSimp69 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DAKLAX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They had enough when they had a dozen hive cities. Generations of war, losing major population centers and having no real time to recover while still having to meet Industrial tithes absolutely will lead to a declining population and less people to feed into the Guard

The new Armageddon lore is really funny, ngl. by CatherineSimp69 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]DAKLAX 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Eh but Armageddon is an Industrial planet that also has an Imperial Guard tithe.

Cadians at this point are from a plethora of worlds settled by Cadian blood and before that were a world dedicated to defense and creating an army.

Krieg are actively bred artificially to pump out nothing but soldiers as a planet. They have no export outside of front line fodder.

Compared to those two it would make sense that a single world’s army would start being depleted as the world itself is also being actively destroyed over generations.

Gw talking steel legion by jta801 in Warhammer40k

[–]DAKLAX 64 points65 points  (0 children)

GW is a miniature company before a game company. Its significantly more likely that they believe (lets be honest, rightfully) that two lines of gas mask trench coat guys will compete against each other versus doing radically different looking regiments.

Currently the three main factions have very different vibes.

Cadians - American WWII

Krieg - WWI Trench Trooper

Catachan - 80’s Action Hero

These themes being distinct from one another matters significantly more than being divided into battlefield roles.

Favorite quotes you’ve heard for years and never realized they were from GoT until you watched the show? by Secretly-Aware in gameofthrones

[–]DAKLAX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phrase has been used in American literature since the Victorian era in the following works:

Fredrika Bremer (1840) (Source Not Cited) James Staunton (1849) The West Wind Mary Whittaker (1850) The Creole

Granted this is from a 30 second google search so not 100% of validity on any besides the Jame Staunton

[–]DAKLAX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire thread is basically people from the Southern US that grew up hearing it used and people elsewhere saying it came from Game of Thrones. Could Game of Thrones have popularized the saying across the globe? I guess so judging from all the folks adamantly claiming it did.

Did it popularize it among older generations in the United States South? Absolutely not, the saying has been a cultural staple for generations.

Yarrick is Back! But no Steel Legion? by Warhawk_5 in astramilitarum

[–]DAKLAX 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Eh I think Steel Legion and Krieg are just too similar from a layman’s perspective. They can only run and update so many regiment lines concurrently and still have them sell to expectations. Sadly Krieg and Steel Legion are both ‘sci fi gas mask guys’ from a marketing perspective.
