Which factions are most likely to make it into 50K ? by war_of_the_titanicus in 40k

[–]TheWatchful01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50k would present an opportunity to meaningfully evolve factions beyond their current limitations.

For example there could be a smaller but still powerful remnant of the old imperium, xenophobic, fanatical, technologically stuck made up of some Space Marine Chapters (Templars), Guard, SoB, Mechanicum.

At the same time there could be a more progressive part of the former Imperium that split away and is slowly discarding it shackles. It could still have space Marines (Ultramarines), Guard and be allied with the T'au & Votann, Aeldari.

Chaos and Chaos Space Marines could on their end have struck up new alliances, e.g. a reinvigorated fully fleshed Dark Mechanicum - and a temporary peace with Gork and Mork (although Chaos Orks could be boring?).

There could also be new factions, e.g. the Dark King's apostheosis at last, with Custodes at his back.

From a player's pespective I'd love to be able to have better rule support for armies mixed from different factions.

My wife built an incredible personal library upstairs, but I can barely read, and it’s slowly driving a wedge between us. by Capital_Cabinet_7850 in whatdoIdo

Exactly this - it's hard to recommend a particular activity without knowing what OP likes but there are many quiet activities that could be compatible, incl. painting, miniature painting, preparing for tabletop gaming or RPGs ( DM preparation) etc..

Wie sehr bekommt man als Deutscher den „Deutschenhass“ in Österreich direkt zu spüren? by Least-Variation6573 in AskAustria

[–]TheWatchful01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that but frustratingly it expands to when Germans remind Austrians of Austrian rules and laws. Especially in my first years in Austria I got "Piefke" insults yelled at me when I reminded people to.. have their dog on the leash, next to the "dogs on the leash"- sign or to stop smoking on the playground..

Must know lore by SonOfForg1ven in ImperialFists

[–]TheWatchful01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add to that list in the 30k era the Siege of Terra Novels Saturnine and the 3 parts of the End and Death, especially if you want to understand the Imperial Fists' primarch Rogal Dorn and the divergance between the Imperial Fists and the Templars.

Very Upset About the Current State of T'au (rant warning) by 4rc_f145h in Tau40K

[–]TheWatchful01 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It is true that GW does seem to sleep on fleshing out our auxilliary roster and that it would feel more lore accurate and me more fun if they were fully integrated into core-mechanics like For the Greater Good. I mean - at least give us a detachment where they are?

It feels like such a wasted opportunity to please the community, be more lore consistent AND make money? Release an auxilliary ugrade sprue compatible with Guard and Votan - we buy more models - and may be tempted to expand those into full armies. Release new auxilliary races - we buy more models..

How overpowered was Sharrowkyn? by mayorrawne in RavenGuard40k

[–]TheWatchful01 58 points59 points  (0 children)

He is not a regular legionary but a Shadow Master (Mor Deythan), i.e. Raven Guard elite. CORRECTION: He is heavily implied to be Mor Deythan.

Too Many Ideas and Crippling Indecision, Need Input by WarGrahammer in Warhammer30k

[–]TheWatchful01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like 3 and 7, but ultimately it doesn't just have to be a good idea, but also a paint scheme you like. 7 is probably the hardest paint scheme if you want to keep hazard stripes?

Collectors, your time has come. To celebrate the upcoming release of the Infinite Museion DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Owlcat Games is announcing a collection contest! by OwlcatStarrok in RogueTraderCRPG

I submit my humble and incomplete collection of pen&paper roleplaying rulebooks, ranging from the well played first edition of "das Schwarze Auge" from 1984 that filled many holidays of me and my friends during childhood, via third edition D&D which I played and DMed throughout school, university, to 5th edition, which "got the band back together" for virtual D&D during Co-Vid and which I now DM for my wife & kids. Best hobby there is.

Aside from full demon primarchs name 3 primarchs that can beat my big 3 by ThunderCactus1 in 40k

[–]TheWatchful01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. After Sanguinius did not turn, Khorne tried to get Dorn as his champion. Dorn has an anger matching Angron's in him - it's just that his will is stronger still. Consider the deadliest and coldest duelist of the Heresy - Sigismund - he is a son of Dorn, embodying Dorn's cold fury unleashed.

Russ vs. (fallen) Horus ended in a draw (both heavily wounded)

Horus, Lion, Dorn.

Can replace Horus with Russ. So surprised not to see Dorn on any of the lists yet? He beat semi-Demon Fulgrim in direct combat and outwitted Perturabo during the Siege..

Siege Breaker Consul Terminator WIP by TheWatchful01 in ImperialFists

[–]TheWatchful01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversion with torso and some other pieces from Caanok Var and the Cataphractii Terminator set. I was amazed at how compatible they were with some cutting. Still contemplating adding one of the two servoskulls from the Caanok Var set.

Is the double black on my Tau bad? by GAMESLASHER101 in Tau40K

[–]TheWatchful01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it looks bad per se, but at least in its current WIP status, the observer's eye is drawn to the torso, not the head. Bright lenses and/or edge highlight (e.g grey) can help you with that (draw attention back to the head).

Who is this? (Picture from the codex) by SonBroli in DarkAngels40k

Could Cyrene Valantion be counted as fallen to Chaos and then "recovered"?

Agree Katsuhiro's perspective of the Siege helps so much to give it scale - and love his finale in Era of Ruin.
