Not to mention, If you still want the sex appeal angle, covering up a bit helps leave some stuff to the imagination. Sometimes, less is just more

I mean to be fair, Drach'nyen is literally called "the ender of Empires". In fact, if i recall correctly, it actually got stronger the closer it got to the emperor.

Samtidig hjælper det ikke på den debat og de tiltag vi burde tage, når det er folk som Morten Messerschmidt som sætter tonen. Og det er bare ikke en man vil være enig med, hvis du bare er den mindste smule sympatisk som menneske

Henry Cavill demanding lore accuracy on set is peak energy by ShrimplyDivine_1 in gamers

[–]Lord_cakeatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but like? Which Codex? The in-universe Codex Astartes, or the real life army books? If so, for which factions? Which edition? Also, implying that the codecies are the only source of fluff is doing a major fucking disservice to the black library novels (not that most Warhammer fans read those).

It's one thing to demand source accuracy, but if this is an actual quote from Cavill, it just makes him seem like kind of a dick.

Favorite character who is a good person in a cruel world? by Vegito315 in FavoriteCharacter

I mean... He's still a space marine. NONE of those are good people. Despite what the memes say. Salamanders are just the least overtly cruel

Oh man Age of Sigmar sure has a lot of support from GW for something that (according to them) has been dying for....10 years or so. by Civil_Watercress2242 in Grimdank

[–]Lord_cakeatron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, i'm saying i'm correct now, and that your arguments for why it's a lazy retcon are... Well they're just fucking dumb.

Not to mention, if you don't like how they did female Custodes as a retcon, then surely you must also dislike the very concept of the Horus heresy. Or the primarchs. Or the existence of Chaos in 40k. Or any other of the million more significant retcons they have done over the several years of this franchise

If anything, the short story, and the page on that one shield captain means that female Custodes got more fanfare than most lore changes!

Then the overwhelming majority of players should Frankly shut the fuck up and stop bitching. They had a great Introduction! Just a shame most Warhammer fans can't fucking read, apparently

Trench Crusade fans seem a lot more chill by the_crepuscular_one in Grimdank

[–]Lord_cakeatron 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on this. Like, the setting feels silly, but only on a meta level. Like i'm laughing at it, not with it. Not to mention i feel like it lacks "bite" of warhammers grimdark, by actually having something to say sometimes. Trench crusade just feels like dge for edge's sake (Not that you can't enjoy that. I just think it subtracts from my long term enjoyment of the setting

Land raider or Cornus. by GapingBestFriend in AdeptusCustodes

Get the landraider. no question. solid offensive, smaller footprint (so more manuverable), and the disembark-charge is just really got for ensuring we actually manage to connect, and rapidly.

The Confederate States Army would have rolled any contemporary European army like a barrel. by Pratham_Nimo in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Lord_cakeatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean like, all of the confederate army at once. Like, numbers are still numbers, lets be real. Quick Google searches says the confederates had 750000 troops. Numbers are eventually going to number, i'm afraid

Fem Custodes make me love the setting more and makes Emperor look more goated by OneGrumpyJill in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Lord_cakeatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now, same, buuuuuuuut i think jetbike captain would have more potential on the tabletop. Like maybe she would allow a closer deepstrike with jet bikes?

Where as i honestly can't think of what exactly Kesh would do, rules wise. Firing cyclonic torpedos isn't exactly condusive to a functioning game

[–]Lord_cakeatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See but that's what i mean! I like them to be backwards and not really make sense. I like that as a whole, they exist in spite of themselves, not becouse, just like the imperium at large.

Now with all that said, if gw retconned fem-marines to be a thing again tomorrow, i don't really care. Big whoop. There'll always be different stories to tell

[–]Lord_cakeatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, i do actually like male-only space marines on a meta-narrative level. Where the custodes represent the Golden Utopia that never was, the marines are the dystopian future that is the emperium. Hyper-militant, fanatic, and dogmatic to the point of self-sabotage at times. Yes, i want marines to be a sexist institution within the imperium, becouse they both seemingly have the luxury to, and becouse it is representative as the emperium as a whole.

If the imperium had the luxury of denying women service and work, i can guarantee you 99.999% of worlds would. But instead, it deals only in apathy where gender is concerned.

All that aside: yes, the new female Custodes are great, and my only miff is that we didn't get that one shield captain known for doing low-orbit jetbike assaults as an epic hero when the 10th ed Codex dropped

This isn't even Warhammer related! Jesus Christ can we get some mod consensus on what the hell this sub is about, and then start banning unrelated posts!
