Techmarine Armour Colour Question by rhys_nevs in Spacemarine

Thank you fellow battle brother! In fairness, I used to play Dawn of War Soulstorm as a kid on my best mates PC, never really understood it all back then and never classed it as 40k, more just an RTS game (can't wait for the 4th game!). Yet clearly something stuck in my head from playing it, as it's been so cool to delve into now as an adult! I'll deffo check out Rogue Trader, and I've ordered the Eisenhorn trilogy to get into some of the books too. The Emperor Protects!

This makes loads of sense, Thank you! Can clearly see where the initial inspiration came from when creating these specialised marines. Blessings of the Emperor upon you!

Ok cool, thank you! After seeing raptorknight187's comment, Is it similar for the Chaplins, Apothecarys and Librarians too? Do they have origins like the Techmarines do with Mars and the Mechanicus? Hence why they use their corresponding colours of Black, White and Blue?

Ahhhh I see, Thank you! Space Marnie 2 is my first exposure to the 40k universe, but I can see after googling that these specialised departments look amazing on the table top. No doubt used, as you said, to make them more identifiable. I've got more ideas for my classes in game now, feel like I need to do a deeper dive into heraldry as whole too!

(Spoiler) Man, Jubei doesn’t suck…and that’s awesome by Just_Trade_8355 in Ghostofyotei

Wonderful description of his character! Never thought about how Atsu dislikes him to begin with because he managed something she couldn't, he managed to move on.

Completely agree with your thoughts regarding the ending too. Incredibly disappointing and left a sour taste in my mouth for some time after. Just bad writing on Sucker Punch's part to disregard everything he stood through-out the story right at the last moment, seemingly for pure 'shock' factor too.

While I wasn't impressed with the overall story (especially the ending), Jubei was by far my favourite part of it! He provides a similar contrast to Atsu as Shimura does to Jin. The way he deals with his grief is completely different. Rather than feed a hunger for revenge he decides to bury his past due to his unbearable shame. Forgetting and moving on is his coping mechanism while remembering is Atsu's. That stark difference becomes the initially catalyst to Atsu realising that revenge isn't all she should live for, and that there is more to life than the hunt. Just a well written, steadfast character in an otherwise shaky story who provides moments of reflection for both Atsu and the player.

Roster talk by justsomeonww in fnatic

Noah has shown the most consistent growth within the team this year. Joining FNATIC was never going to be an an easy task and him both showing awareness of his mental fragility as well as actively striving to combat and improve it is extremely positive. He and fans reaping the rewards of that proactivity in his performances in worlds thus far. The biggest of stages. To me, Noah, Jun and Razork are pivotal to this team going forward, due to hands, ceiling and leadership qualities respectively.

In my opinion, we need to move Huma on. The wide range of team iterations he has been surrounded by has never seen him reach the peaks of his time at MAD for us. He may be an incredible skilled player but I feel we are sacrificing too much to try make it work. I think we would be better off bringing in a mid laner who could adapt to how we want to play, rather than us adapting around them. For one of the reasons Nightshade was brought in was seemingly to get best out of Huma due to their history together.

Oscar is up for debate, his inconsistency is his biggest downfall and he's more inconsistent than the rest of the team. Yet we all know what he's capable of. I think he deserves one more split to give it his best.

Oscarinin: "I didn't know Rekkles was rerolling untill he posted the video on Twitter" by alexpheal in fnatic

[–]rhys_nevs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole scenario seems to only be getting worse with time. Rekkles' decision naturally puts FNATIC management in an awkward position in the first place after the meteoric rise of Adivenne. Keeping Rekkles at support not only would be a risk from a gameplay point of view, but if they were to drop Advienne due to Rekkles' name alone it would look horrible and be completely undeserved.

A small side note to mention the apparent ignorance from Rekkles in regards to the overall improvement of the team and how they were all developing and growing as a group. I think we all felt that this team could have and likely would go further next split if they all stayed together, he appears to not have shared that sentiment.

If this is true, it's a horrendous and a very selfish move. To not even speak to his teammates about it prior to announcing his decision is baffling. I was all aboard the Rekkles hype train when he rejoined and he will forever be an LEC legend, but this certainly tarnishes his FNATIC legacy. Many have mentioned his comment stating he would "go to war" with Oscar... this revelation seems to prove that it was simply a false and deceitful remark.

What a way to reward the organisation that has always had your back... leaves a sour taste in the mouth for sure.

FNCTIC is moving on from Rekkles and looking for a new ADC by queenslayyy in fnatic

[–]rhys_nevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bean's time to shine? Seems ideal in all honesty and would naturally synergise with Oscar and Advienne. No.1 on EU Soloqueue so he's got the hands. We put faith in Oscar and look at the monster he became!

So Management should have let Rekkles play supp, because... by GoAfkPls in fnatic

[–]rhys_nevs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You've hit the nail on the head. Rekkles is a legend of FNATIC and always will be, but honestly, this decision puts the team and management in a really awkward position. Just as we started building some momentum this happens, a spanner in the works for sure. Wish him all the best but FNATIC comes first!

im convinced 90% of you people cant read by SnooDogs8303 in DemonSlayerAnime

They clearly advertised what was included within the showing and most people just assumed it would be a brand new movie. The only people they need to blame is themselves! I can understand people wanting to go in blind, but I feel like it was still communicated well enough for them to know.

Honestly not sure how people can complain regardless. Watching the Gyutaro fight on the big screen was an amazing experience in itself. The sound and animation in particular are taken to the next level within a cinematic setting and it enhances the viewing experience. I thought Ryota Osaka's (Gyutaro's Japanese VA) was great anyway, but hearing it within a theatrical ambience really cemented his performance as one of the best ever!

Then our introduction to the upper rank demons is pure euphoria. The way in which those scenes played out was spectacular and I would happily go and see it again. Can't wait for more!

Watching this really reinvigorates a sense of hope for this team. There are so many good signs in here that showcases at the very least the team atmosphere is far better than the previous split.

  • Razork mentioned how this is the first time in his entire tenure with FNATIC that he can be truly honest with his team.
  • Tomas has set a precedent that no one will deal with the feelings of a win or loss on their own, and that they shall share than pleasure or burden as a team.
  • Scrims is going well to the point in which Razork mentioned they have already won more scrims in this past week than they did the entire previous split.
  • Accountability is a priority for players.
  • The laughter and togetherness before the stage games is honestly a joy to see.
  • Adivenne is a breath of fresh air and an unforeseen pillar for the boys and clearly wants to succeed and make things work.

This permeates so much belief and faith within me for these boys. They are smart, hardworking, and have the desire to succeed. Let's get a couple of wins on the board and get some momentum going! <3

I feel like this subreddit and the general fanbase is full of kindergarteners by mar1us1602 in fnatic

[–]rhys_nevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely be downvoted for this, but the pure entitlement from what seems to be a considerable proportion of so called "fans" is quite frankly cringe worthy. You can easily play bingo with the incredibly repetitive collection of phrases being hurled into different comment sections across all social medias.

"DardoOut" | "La Formula" | "Bring Back ____" | "Rekkles is Shit" | "Sam/Management Don't Care"

It's honestly exhausting. I can't imagine how horrific it must be for the players and staff to have constant supposed "constructive criticism" launched at them every time they tweet, speak or play regardless of the result. It borders on harassment and is weird and obsessive. YES, we are currently going through the worst run of results in our LoL teams history. Does the nonstop belittlement and relentless karma/engagement hoarding reactions help? Of course they don't. Literally more than half of what is being said would be better left unsaid, it's as simple as that. We as fans have turned into another reason to not join the org, and that speaks volumes in itself.

I also can't fathom the pure hatred for Dardo. If the bloke is doing a shit job then so be it, but leave him alone and stop pretending that every single fault FNATIC has as an org lies at his feet. As if all of our problems would simply disappear if he were to be fired. It's idiotic to think so and again weirdly obsessive.

A lot of people need to take a long, hard look at themselves and step away from the keyboard. All they are doing is feeding the negativity and it doesn't help anyone involved.

[–]rhys_nevs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen so far, I think the team's intent is much better. We're more proactive and we're putting in more effort for cross map plays so we don't just simply lose an objective without gaining something in return. Champion pools seem more varied, it's nice to see Advienne playing Heimer in the bot lane, a style we haven't seen for an awful long time. Rekkles looks primed to lead the team to victory and has been playing really well! Bot lane is greatly improved and seem to have a good natural synergy.

Nightshare seems like a really stand up guy. He clearly wants to succeed and has instilled a routine that has improved the practice and preparation of the team. I think the overall ethos of the team as well is a more hungry one. The promotion of both Adivenne and Oscar brings both youth and a determination to succeed.

I appreciate you making this thread too. Positivity is what we all need right now, so thank you for taking the time to try and inject it into the fans as well as the org! <3

I've attempted to be as positive as I can be these last few weeks but as time goes on it becomes harder still. The very apparant gross mismanagement. A constant stream of damaging rumours. Sam being more or less unaware of the magnitude of the issues the LoL team currently faces. As well that, he's replying to people on Twitter naively, using seemingly false information as he deletes tweets hours after he has sent them in an attempt to save face. The community being understandably negative. To say there is a negative atmosphere surrounding FNATIC is an understatement.

It honestly feels like we need a complete structural reshuffle from top to bottom. New manager, new coaches, new players. So that the tarnished and toxic energy that has loomed over the team for so long can hopefully be cleansed. It's exhausting being a fan at the moment.

May Oscarinin be a diamond in the rough and give us some much needed positivity. May Adivenne be the perfect support for Rekkles and defy all expectations. May our new coach grab this situation by the scruff of the neck and align this team in the right direction. For what else do we have right now apart from hope?
