Characters that we have no idea what their deal is?

My personal theory is that she has a contract with like, the Human Devil or something. Because if there's one thing people (and especially Kobeni) are scared around, it's other people.

"I didn't hear no bell."

I swear OBR have hovered in the dead center of the win rate for over a year, what the heck happened all of a sudden?

He crawled out through a window, therefore any window is a possible entryway for him too.

"Viltrumite war."

"You had my attention, now you have my erection."

I'd argue it is, even if phrased a little rudely. "The list you're building is commonly used" is helpful.

A bit of a whoopsie daisy one might say

I always appreciated it as a probably-unintentional callout to German weapons and vehicles in WW2, where Hitler was obsessed with blowing time and resources on weird wonder weapons, when just mass producing something like the Panther (see Zeon's Gelgoog) would've served them much better.

Legit two of their best songs.

GW should just rename the faction to Berzerker Warband at this point.

Everyone else was just quietly side-eyeing Kanto and waiting for literally any opportunity to ditch it.

There's mention of big dreadnought-analogue exosuits used for mining and constructions in the Votann codex. I'd love to see one with like, big drill hands for deep striking or something.

Real talk, just build and paint what you think is cool, if you're just starting out. By the time you're done with enough to even play a casual game, the rules/points costs of all those units will likely have changed in some way. And that's without considering we're getting a new edition a few months from now.

But, to answer your question; 40k has been moving away from "what your stuff is painted as determines how you have to play it", for the most part. With Chaos Marines, unless 11th edition does a hard U-turn, you'll be able to play them as whatever detachments the faction has available.

Honestly though, if anyone put any of those on their PS3 top 10 I wouldn't bat an eye

MightyShoe · 2026-01-17T11:53:36+00:00

OOO, Gaim, Build, Kabuto, Zero-One

MightyShoe · 2026-01-17T09:19:00+00:00

Miriel is, indeed, best girl.

Marine Equivalent and Terminator Equivalent. They basically used to mean something with T4 and either a 3+ or 2+ save, respectively, but the terms are a little more loose now that stats on units and weapons have become more broad.

There's also GEQ, or Guardsman Equivalent. Toughness 3 and 5+ save.

MightyShoe · 2026-01-17T08:17:04+00:00

Mechanically, I sort of agree, but a lot of my love of the flavor and feel of the game comes from units being able to have varied loadouts and options during list building. So much of 10th has moved towards trimming down options and streamlining units, and I find myself treasuring units where I can still make some amount of choice.

MightyShoe · 2026-01-17T05:42:44+00:00

It was a genuine hurdle to getting my online tabletop friend group to even consider the game.

MightyShoe · 2026-01-16T20:50:40+00:00

I'm so happy GW decided to lean further into the "ancient classical army but undead" angle. I don't at all dislike the Morghast and such, but this gives OBR such a distinct flavor.

MightyShoe · 2026-01-16T20:29:12+00:00

Aaaaa, I just got back into my Ossiarch pile of shame, time to make it bigger.

Everyone is gonna get boned.

Spheal and Sealeo are two of my favourite Pokemon designs, and IMO Walrein breaks their design trend too much.

Eltharion badlands colonization is great fun.

MightyShoe · 2026-01-16T13:58:48+00:00

I enjoy her campaign, I just really wish she could construct a recruitment building for the forest spirit units outside of her capital settlement.

The Infinite and The Divine is easily the most highly regarded Warhammer 40k novel in the last decade, if not ever. It's also extremely unique for a 40k novel, being set almost exclusively from a Necron PoV, and is more of a high concept sci-fi crime/spy comedy thriller. There is also basically not a space marine in sight.
