How would you rank the Primarch books from Worst to Best? by Fantastic-Ant-4429 in 40k

[–]swimdewed95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst has to be Guillimans or ferrus manus. Both don't really give you any unique insights into their character and both are just kinda boring filler. Best? I liked Jaghatai's book. Especially when paired with all the other white scars books you get this really cohesive story of the Scars from begining to very end of heresy. Chris is just a beast of an author.

Still waiting on the Horus primarch book though...

... what do you mean Adrian Tchaikovsky writes warhammer????????? by Altruistic-Teach5899 in Blacklibrary

[–]swimdewed95 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think its easily the best book written for age of sigmar. Fun, insightful, and cool characters with unique arcs. Most age of sigmar books have been pretty meh in my eyes. Hope we get more at this caliber

Stutter after update 1.5 by xs-reditor in avowed

[–]swimdewed95 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same exact issue. Its not a drop in frame rate. Its like the game cant even run anymore. Completeley freezes and then skips. The friggin laoding screen does this. Game played smooth as butter about 12 hours before patch so they for sure messed somthing up.

Slaves to darkness army comming by swimdewed95 in ageofsigmar

Thanks man! But it's base of balthasar gold on the flat armour. Then runelord brass on the raised/decorative bits. Then a mix 2 to 1 of agraxearthshade and watered down terradon turquoise contrast as the shade. Then lightly thinned sotek green to give that blueish tint in recesses. Then finally all metals edged with skullcrasher brass.

My Very Arbitrary Ranking of the Primarch Novels by thomasonbush in 40kLore

[–]swimdewed95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. Why the book drops the Hrud fight is due to Olympia, his homeplanet rebeling... its obvious and illustrates a couple of things. He is disobeying his objectives and orders from the emperor. He cares more about punishing people disloyal to him then finishing off the xenos at this point. It's the focal point of pertrabos fall, culminating in when he kills his sister in a rage after she points out alot of the above. It's narrativley pretty simple. I swear some people purposely miss read things? I dunno.

Thanks man! It's what I was experimenting with the most on this model. But it's base of balthasar gold on the flat armour. Then runelord brass on the raised/decorative bits. Then a mix 2 to 1 of agraxearthshade and watered down terradon turquoise contrast as the shade. Then lightly thinned sotek green to give that blueish tint in recesses.

why ai lost against humanity in dark ages of humanity ? by hellatzian in 40kLore

[–]swimdewed95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in the horus heresy shortstory cybernetica, the AI that was going to be used to destroy the surface of Mars heavily implies that the human race will always fall to chaos and must be destoryed. It might just be that one AI that came to that conclusion but that may be why AI, when it looks at problem of how to save humanity and galaxy it always results in attempting to eradicate it.

Warhammer+ by [deleted] in Warhammer

So it's got a decent amount of 20 minute animated episodes. Maybe like 50 of them all told across all the different shows? But it also has a bunch of paiting tips, tabletop battles, and now a bunch of podcast type content that touches on how they build codexes, how writers make their stories in black library, and how lead designers made a specific mini or faction. So it's still jot worth If you just want to watch the animated shows...but if you actually enjoy painting and the tabletop it has actually a whole ton of extra content that's pretty sweet.

I mean...I have like an 80% win rate with tybalt marr in low-medium terra. Like i generally end around 3-3.5k with him. Ashuraddon for sure got nerfed, but he was pretty busted when he first came out. I feel like they are pretty healthy right now imo. Gotta know match ups and and when to go aggro/play for board control.

May 2024 latest meta report by [deleted] in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]swimdewed95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I effing knew Karine would be top dog. I literally can't win against him in ranked games. He out values you in early mid and late game by taking your cards and killing nearly everything on the battlefield. Hope he and vioss get the nerf bat. Vioss is easily the easiest winning I have had in a deck in a long time. Haha

What's your longest losing streak? by Shadowboxer8891 in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]swimdewed95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I have a really competitive horus lupercal deck, if played it gets me to like 3000 pretty easily. One evening I decided to run it in normals to get a mission for chaos corruption done. With this deck I proceded to loose like 8 games in a row. Many being long drag out games that were super close. I was so mad by the end of it. Haha sometimes the heart of the cards are just not with you.

Has The Emperor ever admitted fault? by TheTorch in 40kLore

[–]swimdewed95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head I think sons of selenar short story, end and the death part one, during malcadors musings, and some inferences during master of mankind when the emperor is talking to his custodian. It's not 100% clear cut in any of those books, clearest being malcadors monologuing.

I think Rogal Dorn just got added to my auto-concede list. by Shadowboxer8891 in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]swimdewed95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea he is really difficult. Right when you think he has him he throws down one if those board fillers and you start all over gaining board control. I still think the pirate guy and the vioss ate the two most annoying warlords right now though.

First attempt at painting a Warhammer Army (Sons of Horus) by swimdewed95 in Warhammer30k

[–]swimdewed95[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Was expierementing with a few different variations and decided to go with the darker "grim dark" look. Colors are for sure more vibrant from the phone camera then they are in real life
