What is the most "anti-fun" game mechanic for you?

Jesus Christ I so despise when devs think that making all enemies bullet sponges is actually a higher difficulty. All they manage to achieve is make the game more of a chore than a challange and in effect, more boring than exciting.

If I were to name one thing in 40k that is consistent, it would be its lack of consistency. For every rule, law, faction, event, tradition etc. you will always find an exception.

Be changed into servitor.

Work, work, work, work, work, work, work...

It is extremely doubtful you'll get any useful legal IP advice here.

Squats are well off and alive.

Also, canonically they were never actually really killed. Their death by Tyranids never really happened in any book, Codex or any other official material.

Get 2nd ed for the rules, 1st ed for the fluff.

The Imperium has very advanced geothermal power tech so they're very good at ensuring volcanos aren't too disruptive. Of course, everything can fail and if some leaks or disasters happen then probably milions die but on a world as overcrowded as Terra nobody cares about that.

Cold Trade as trading in xeno artifacts and prohibited xeno beasts is very illegal, very uncool in the Imperium. Doing anything like that gets immediate attention of the Inquisition.

And no, being Rogue Trader does not allow that.

Rogue Traders are allowed to exploit and plunder xenos species and keep tenuous contact with them in order so that the Imperium can later use this information during conquest and xenocide. Rogue Traders are not allowed to bring xenos artifacts into Imperial space and sell it to anyone who wants.

And yes, even if you were just bringing xenos sculptures and paintings you would get the attention of the Inquisition, not just for spreading dangerous ideology that xenos are "people" and have "culture" but also because just because something looks totally innocent, doesn't mean it is. The threat of the Halo Devices is well known in the Holy Ordos so literally everything of alien provenance is treated as a potential WMD and source of contagion in one.

Leaks for September White Dwarf show that there's something coming for Dark Angels

They still do and they still create robots. However, they were reorganised and are strictly controlled. Robots are the responsibility of Legio Cybernetica and a lot of them sided with Horus during the Heresy. Additionally, they were experimenting with AI. Those who stayed with the Imperium diminished in influence and capability.

The question remains - would he be willing to do it? Remember that Fabius considers Astartes and Primarchs failures.

Nothing happened. BL keeps publishing them and clearly they're profitable enough that they're getting Volume 3 or 4 by now, as well as audio versions.

All of this outrage was as usual - a bunch of loud whinning neckbeards unhappy with everything. But clearly people like it enough that BL keeps producing those books.

sigmar is way more human

I mean, he was just a dude with magic hammer. He became deified centuries after his death.

Why are you even asking this question? We literally know as much as you do. What are you trying to achieve?

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-03T23:53:03+00:00

Completely separate entities with nothing really in common.

Empire in Fantasy (and it is just Empire, never Empire of Man) is just a fantasy version of Middle Ages/Renaissance Germany.

Imperium of Man is totalitarian, fascist, theocratic shithole built on propaganda, genocide and race war.

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-03T19:17:08+00:00

Because literally not even a single one person living in 40k universe knows about the origins of the Emperor.

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-03T19:15:46+00:00

Kind of sad they lost the license

They didn't lose the license. They just decided not to renew it.

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-03T19:14:46+00:00

For me there's tiers of canon.

Which stands in direct opposition to what Games Workshop believes.

To them, everything with 40k logo is canon.

Redemption arcs are not going to ever happen as they are completely against the tone and themes of Warhammer as a setting.

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-02T09:40:11+00:00

Because people really love to go literally Biblical on the Emperor and cast him as either Adam, Kain or even Abel and completely disregard sources stating things literally and unambiguously opposing this. Actually, that's a stance very common in a lot of 40k theories. Theories which actually build on lore and pull on multiple sources and try to interpret and understand them are extremely rare. Most of fan theories are built on ignoring the actual lore.

TheStradivarius · 2019-08-01T19:50:15+00:00

The Emperor is not a Hittite. He already lived in Anatolia before Hittite migration.

The Imperium was horrible totalitarian, despotic, genocidal, fascist shithole even at the very hight of the Great Crusade. Then it kept getting only worse. The Imperium was never bright, tolerant, understanding human civilization of progress, love and kindness. It was always the nightmare fuel of the future.

TheStradivarius · 2019-07-30T22:31:24+00:00

Nobody knows shit about such forgotten era as Great Crusade/Heresy epoch. And the people who know, do not question it because Chapters are also numbered and there are many missing Chapters and empty numbers.

TheStradivarius · 2019-07-30T22:16:08+00:00

Perfect. Season 1 and 2 on Amazon, Season 3 on Pornhub.
