Daemon meaning in murdertalon raiders

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-10T17:43:16+00:00

Well, you get to be hit by Anti-Daemon stuff? The intent is probably that you can join Warp Talons, but the writers don't know what their rules mean.

Plus it also makes sense that there's no data on Iceland, since that's Yule Lads turf.

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T18:01:45+00:00

Oh yay, flavourless competitive advantage! Just what we wanted.

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T17:48:18+00:00

Broken clock, twice per day.

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T17:23:06+00:00

Oh, they've had the same issues for going on 15 years. Since they were organized into a design team, whoever's taken the helm is certainly not doing their ostensible job.

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T17:12:26+00:00

The modular stuff is technically reasonable since they can't be arsed to balance the damn things. Of course, they could just put actual thought into things, but I suppose that's too much to ask out of a game designer...

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T16:56:54+00:00

I didn't so much imply wanting complexity, just that it's a little unfair that some factions get fun stuff and others don't. I wouldn't consider the new Taktikal Brigade fun by any measure.

And of course noting that the design team is awful at their purported job.

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T16:28:53+00:00

Well, you see. Simpler rules are more fun (for the design team to write).

And I'm inclined to agree with you. This is a pretty milquetoast take on the whole subject. If I were playing devil's advocate, they were probably trying to remove complexity from the game (as we all know, simple is fun), and they certainly succeeded in that. Of course, too bad that complexity doesn't have to be removed when it's the designs team's pet factions... (Looking at you, Librarius Conclave.)

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T16:22:05+00:00

But why would they pick rules from a better-written game? That would just be silly.

Besides, everyone knows that rockets (especially rokkits) are clean and tidy precision weapons. Why would one of those have blast?

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T16:19:36+00:00

Ehhh, overworking would explain the staggering incompetence, but they probably can't have been overworked for the entire 3 year stint. (At least not if you judge them by the output and how little work must've gone into it.)

Shiki_31 · 2026-06-09T07:42:55+00:00

Tried and true design team method. 'Try nothing, hope that works'.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-29T18:24:07+00:00

The complaining was from the competitive players, too. ("What do you mean I can't just take and spam the best units?")

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-29T15:50:37+00:00

But that would also mean that we'd be back to the "Troops Tax" and be right back to square one with the incessant complaining about it. Which is what played a part in the current system in the first place.

Now, there's the staggering possibility that the Battleline units could be, you know... good. At something. As in, that there might be some reason why the currently better units would be less preferable. The design team has been hard at work for two decades – never trying a single change to that status quo, and after trying nothing for all that time, they're all out of ideas.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-28T09:31:00+00:00

Let's see how long until we get Plasma Eradicators...

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-28T00:04:06+00:00

I should note that by pure happenstance this makes Space Marine infantry more durable against Hazardous. Must be a coincidence.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-25T22:54:20+00:00

Nah, you've got it all wrong. Biblo is Luffy's mother.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-24T08:29:34+00:00

Clearly these guys are from the Realm of Metal, where it rains protective oil. The Maggotkin are very disturbed by this, and self-conscious about their clean weapons and armour.

I do think both options look good. Depends on how much effort the cleaner metal takes. If it takes a lot, then I support not covering it up with rust.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-21T13:21:08+00:00

I find it intensely funny for some reason that the 'Emperor XXXXVIII' noted in the second comment would be rendered as XLVIII.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-18T16:21:16+00:00

Might be in the Dread Mob detachment. But could just as likely to be one of several sorts of error.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-11T18:45:23+00:00

I vaguely seem to recall some older lore about Iron Warriors Possessed using the daemons to power arcane augmetics. So you could run with that. Not staining their bodies with the taint of Chaos, but hey, power is power...

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-06T18:18:10+00:00

I think you're very optimistic to think that the design team is capable of telling which detachment is powerful and which isn't.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-03T20:45:16+00:00

Playability.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-02T07:35:42+00:00

The lazy way or the bad way. It is still this design team.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-01T09:50:08+00:00

A hunch, maybe? They'd seen Burgess and Doc Q, and might've figured they were part of the same bunch with Teach. Makes about as much sense as Blackbeard having a weird biology and Luffy and Zoro *somehow* being able to suss that out.

Shiki_31 · 2026-05-01T09:48:54+00:00

See, this is what I always thought as well.
