Man 40k was such a great game wasn't it /tg/. Too bad it only got 3 editions, I think they should have supported the game more.
>>
>>43580202
40k was never good. Fun maybe.
>>
I started playing in 2nd Edition, but I got my first real army when I bought the Starter Box for 3rd.

I still have my rulebook. It's amazing.

You know what my favorite part is? How there's that picture of the Emperor on the Throne that hasn't been Photoshopped and colored yellow for some inexplicable reason.

I don't have newer books, what is this? Please, someone show me.

This is the orginial 3e artwork without the piss yellow tint and skull face.

That's the piss version.

In essence, this. Not balanced, and for its rule complexity not altogether that deep. But it's amusing.
>>
>>43580202
It really rams home the age of the marine mini design. Imagine if we were still using those Dark Eldar designs now. That's the extent of the space marine image's aging.

How would one reboot or redesign mehreens?
>>
>>43580869
Less squatting, more dynamics in the arms.

Forgeworld got it right with their stuff but they still need more arm options.
>>

They're getting there.

I should direct you to Starcraft 2's plot man.

>>43580717
Heh, not as bad as I thought. Photoshopped colour is whatev's, I thought you meant things were added in.
>>
>>43581284
And you're ignoring the fact they put a skull mask over the face of the Emperor because?

His face rotted away.

They certainly are, I wish there was more 'pistol grips' though.
>>
>>43580275
I loved the pic of the bt blasting away under the banner and the one with thousands of banners from regiments from across the galaxy, would kill to get them in a decent quality

Had potential but they just had to keep throwing shit in your face instead of using some finesse.

The crozius always looks so fucking dumb. Otherwise pretty neat.
>>
>>43583246
Is that some sort of Lemartes conversion?
>>
>>43583287
New model
>>
>>43583296
Why? it isnt like his other sculpt is that old....

Is he going to be worth using again?
>>
>>43583246
Those wings are ridiculous.

Also why is he dressed like two-face.
>>
>>43583307
At least he has an inferno pistol now?
>>
>>43583364
I guess, but since I'm assuming he is going to be tacked on to DC squads like always, not sure how much difference it will make.

As long as his points didn't increase to include the better pistol I suppose it cant be anything but good.
>>
>>43583246
eh, it looks pretty nice, I'm not a fan of the "Muscle armor" tho.
>>
>>43583246
I finally figured it out!

>What??
>It looks like your Lemartes is evolving in to Astorath!
>>
>>43583166
Dude, it went full prequels.

Kerrigan is a space god angel and the chosen one.
>>
>>43581273
He only did wings of liberty, the rest of the stuff they changed.
>>
>>43583312
>Also why is he dressed like two-face.

Enter "Angels Sanguine" in your search engine.
>>
>>43583287
>>43583307

What makes you assume it's Lemartes? It's likely just a BA Chaplain.
>>
>>43584782
>Angels Sanguine
But he's a generic BA DC chaplain? Since when did they change that.
>>
>>43585518

Why do Flesh Tearers use angel wings on their gear when their icon is a blood drop and a circular sawblade?

It probably represents the duality of the Blood Angels' genetic nature - angels becoming monsters.
>>
>>43583246
That's Lemartes?

Looks kinda sexy.
>>
>>43587811
compare it to the current Lemartes. It looks like complete ass.

I hope it's an Angels Sanguine specific model otherwise it's confusing as hell.
>>
>>43587885
The old Lemartes looks considerably bulkier.
>>
>>43583166
The tragedy is that it refuses to go away in favor of the more interesting story just over the horizon. Like a houseguest that won't get that hint that you wanted him to leave....4 hours ago.

No.
>>

>wings of liberty
Which had some mighty retarded plot.
>>
To be fair, Andy Chambers, immediately upon parting company with GW, went on to create the Starship Troopers ruleset, which is pretty amazing.
>>
>>43588106
The plot of Wings of Liberty was okay. The only retarded thing was that Kerrigan wasn't a half-decayed dezerged monstrosity that needed Life Support and cybernetics to survive.
>>
>>43588239
And the whole prophecy bit, which made negative sense.
>>
>>43583246
>Mono-thruster Jump Pack
>Outside of the Sanguinary Guard
RAAAAAAGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>43588456
You know that the mono-thruster is just an old model and it's in no way exclusive to them right?
>>
>>43588456
Lurk more. And I mean lurk the GW and FW websites.
>>
>>43589191
Pretty sure that was a ret-con. BA got them first model-wise with SG. Then FW made a set saying "Oh look at these spooky old jump packs everyone had back in the day! Everymarinethesame"

WoL was probably the best starcraft game to come out. Sexy Karrigan is best Karrigan.

The only people who disagree are those who live in that past and are still blown away by the creation of sliced bread that happened last week in their view.

WoL had the best multiplayer. All blizzard should have worked on was the t3 air for all the races.

They decided to let a potential community, who would make them long term money, die for short bursts of cash.

>>43589191
In the BA Codex they're said to be an exclusive to the Sanguinary Guard amongst Blood Angels and their successors.

Kill yourself, scum.
Lrgion =/= Chapter

It says that about the WINGED jump packs dipshit. There is old 3e and 4e artwork showing monothrusters, you're just a tard.

Fucking finally I can get the culexus separately.
>>
>>43592281
Wait what? Why are they releasing betrayal at calth again for more money?
>>
>>43592281
Why the Blood Angel releases? Is there some kind of event coming?
>>
>>43592413

It's from Warhammer Visions which shows the releases for the month. Apparently the price for BaC was the original before they toned it down.

>>43592563

40k is getting a second Damocles book titled Mont'ka. Assassins are supposed to be involved and it looks like possibly a BA successor.
