Why don't imperial guard have better walkers like this?
Because they need big scary walkers, not efficient walkers.
Because GW couldn't handle the amount of anal devastation that Disney lawyers would inflict on them
>>43821262
Copyright?
But I agree, their is a definitive lack of non bipedal walker.
>ywn play an airmobile clone force in 6mm

>>43821262
40K is just a bunch of shit some writers made up. Become a GW writer and you can add in whatever you like. Until then, no point complaining.
>>43821301
No, Slaanesh would counter that fairly easily. Also. Have you seen GW lawyers? they sue for pitiful reasons.
>>43821262
Because they have tanks.
I would rather sooner see more tank chassis other than the damn Leman Russ than more walkers. Walkers in 40K are shit anyways.
>>43821364
>I would rather sooner see more tank chassis
Let's say someone updated WW2 and WW1 tank chassis would you use them?
>>43821349
Yeah, had work taken down by GW lawyers and watched a couple of warham sites I liked get wrecked.
Disney's a lot easier on the fan base, but with the amount of financial thump the mouse has... they'd do bad, bad things to a business.
>>43821262
Because they don't need walkers they just need more meatshiel... I mean ABLE BODIED IMPERIAL CITIZENS to defend the galaxy against evil
>>43821384
Anything good because i was about to begin sketching up some new armor designs and units for space marines soon for my chapter i'm creating.
>>43821349
GW also does their best to pick on companies/people who lack the money to have an extended legal battle. This lets them sue without having to worry about how solid their grounds to do so are because people like that will just capitulate rather than go bankrupt paying legal fees.
Disney is uh, not one of these types. They would crush GW like a bug.
>>43821262
I would imagine it has something to do with anything walking on more than two limbs being heretical
>..but Rough Ride
Shhhhh no, shutup. You disagreeing with me makes you a filthy heretic. Off you go.
>>43821372
I would use updated WW1 tank chassis in WW1, and updated WW2 Tank Chassis in WW2.
Walkers aren't a thing because they just aren't as easy to build as a tank. They lack the speed of an aircraft, they dont have the low profile of a tank, nor the armor protection. They're more complex, and probably require more parts and specialist skills. They'd be like German Tiger and Panther tanks in WW2: breaking down constantly, difficult to get to the parts you need to repair, and fuel guzzlers.
>>43821262
Because tracked vehicles can do the same job 99% of the time and are easier to build and maintain.
>>43821347
>you could play dropfleet commander...
or Epic, but that still wouldn't be 6mm clone wars
>>43821262

why? treaded vehicles are perfect in every single way
>ITT: we argue why walkers are bad in a setting where everyone has walkers and the biggest warmachines are walkers
I, for one, would welcome heavy sentinels.
>>43821301
Have you seen what an armored sentinel looks like? AT-ST man.
>>43821262
Holy shit those effects sucked. Those clone troopers look like if they were copy pasted there from completely different movie.
>>43821821
I'm sorry but your appeals to logic just makes no sense in this world of Titans and Wraithknights.
>>43821821

>better
Nop. 40k is about monstrous and gargantuan creatures
>>43821262
How tall is that walker? Roughly 4/5x the clone trooper so that makes it what, 24/25ft tall? Imperator titans are meant to be roughly 165ft high, wouldnt it simply step on that ATTE-ST, squashing it like a heretical bug?
I'd honestly kill if GW (or at least Forgeworld) issued more tanks based on obscure ww1 patterns. I mean we got the Malcador, but a 40k St Chamond would be a sigh to behold.
>>43822194
>>43821262
The Admech is horribly inefficent at what their organisation is doing. A lot of the time they sit on information and machines they have no clue they even possess.
>>43822171
True, but you could argue that those don't belong to the guard, but the Collegia Titanica instead. The largest walkers the IG have is, as far as we know, the Sentinel.
That being said, who needs walkers when you have a gorillion tank variants of all shapes, functions and sizes? For everything that exists there is probably a dedicated Leman Russ pattern to kill it.
>>43822360
Well there's no Leman Russ variant that can punch or use a sword/hammer
>>43821431
>>Disney crushes GW like bug
I hate to be a "heighten the contradictions" type of guy, but GW getting broken up (and ideally sold to Disney or someone) is literally the best possible outcome for the IP. Too bad there's no way to provoke a lawsuit.
>>43822340
Honestly, when 'going down to the archives' amounts to commencing a year-long expedition under guard of elite troops and with casualty rates in excess of 90% even on the successful ones, I can hardly blame them for sticking with the shit they *know* works.
>>43821262
Sentinels are basically AT-STs.
But all the really good tech doesn't go the Imperial Guard, true heroes of the Imperium. It goes to the preening faggots of the Adeptus Astartus, the Knight Houses, and the AdMech.
>>43822400
That's the problem. They mention in the Cult Mechanicus codex how they developed functional atomspheric Tyranid defenses and then just forget about it.
>>43821262
>better walkers like this
The term better walkers is retarded. Being slightly less shit doesn't make shit not shit.
>>43822194
Fuck that, where are the double barreled super heavy tanks in 40k? There is only like one shitty and obscure version IIRC
>>43822419
>double-barreled super-heavies
Falchion - dual turbolaser
Felblade - dual accelerator cannon
Stormhammer - triple battlecannon
Macharius (Vanquisher) - dual (vanquisher) battlecannon
Cerberus - triple neutron laser
These are just of the top of my head, I'm sure there are plenty more.

>>43823730
I also recall the archive where they kept that information at was turned into a storage for explosives. I think it might have been at the timeline page.
It was probably forgotten because they only did it at one planet.
>>43824015

No wait. It's in the Skitarii timeline.
>748.M41
>Rain of Fire
>After the battle of Macragge, a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Behemoth winds its way into the Skitarii-held Daugel Helix. Using the knowledge recovered from the Tyran data-codex, the Skitarii fight back. The Cohort commander Alpha 9-Thyrre turns the tide by saturating a stratum of the atmosphere with the gas from the planet's promethium refineries. After his Onager's neutron lasers sets the spies aflame, each new rain of Tyranid spores incinierates those xenos planetside instead of reinforcing them. A thriumphalist data-codex is compiled and sent to the nearby forgeworld of Accatran, where it is swiftly filed away in the Archive Anomalis and forgotten.
I guess they must have put something else important in the explosive waregouse instead.
>>43824218
>sets the skies aflame*
>>43824218
How did they forget so quickly?
>>43824317
I guess it's because it wasn't a Dominus techpriest that discovered it, so they probably didn't think of it as educated or important.
>>43824218
How does nobody randomly rediscovers that setting part of the atmosphere on fire also sets tyranids trying to get in on fire?
>>43822943
hahahaha it's boss-eyed.
Why indeed. Maybe because even in 40k multilegged walkers need literal daemons or be giant insects to work?
>>43822943
Do I see an one-eyed armored sadfrog there?
>>43824339
too real for 40k fluff
>>43824339
If I beat a tech preist's head hard enough, can I cause him to rediscover the STC for common sense?
>>43824381
Thing is, they did that a long time ago. Unfortunately, there was a bit of Chaos in this "common sense" thing, so they discarded it with plenty of promethium.
>>43824428
Couldn't they have use some holy chanting to purify it?
>>43824492
You sound like someone who's having a fit of "common sense"
>>43824492
Having Chaos Taint isn't something you can remove however. Its boolean relationship.
>>43824550
Commissar, if aliens and heretics can use it that means we lose. How can such vile beings have common sense if we can't? We have to beat them at having common sense.
>>43824583
How did Logan take care of the taint his axe had? How did Rowboat Girlyman take care of the his gauntlets after he took them from the dead Chaos champion?
>>43824603
They didn't.
Just because its tainted, doesn't mean people know or care.
>>43824603
Logan didn't have to take care of it because it's not a daemon weapon. AdMech is just extremely judgemental over technology that isn't pure like it was a waifu or something.
>>43821420
They don't do anything about art, just don't try to make any money off it, ever, otherwise they'll come after your with a 12" vibrating razor-blade dildo.
>>43821980
>your appeals to logic
Tanks do have their weaknesses, and there are some (albeit extremely specific) scenarios where a walker-type vehicle does have an advantage over a treaded one.
Sentinels are a pretty valid adaptation of a walker unit in the 40K setting, as they excel at fast recon in high-density terrain and in urban combat, both places where treaded tanks do a historically poor job. They have their niche.
>>43821262
>Better
Dude the AT-TE is fucking horrible. It has a cockpit with a flimsy clear-metal shielding that can get one-shotted by a missile. Its gun are weaker than the plasma cannons you can mount on a Leman Russ too.
The only well designed walker in Star Wars is the AT-ST and its variants, and that's because it's a scout.
>>43821953
That's from the Clone Wars Video game.
>>43823063
Canon is those legs are ultra powerful, and lasers do cause massive recoil just like kinetic weapons do.
>>43822380
just give it to the orks. they will find a way.
>>43823063
the top gun is a railgun actually.
>>43821995
Yer cute, mate.
>>43825216
>lasers
All Blaster weapons (which include Turbolasers, despite their name) use ionized Tibanna gas, which is plasma. Laser weapons are described as extremely weak in Star Wars (barring the Death Star, but that's because an entire fucking moons worth of power is behind it).
That said,
>>43825079
This is correct. AT-TE's weren't exactly horrible, but they did have some glaring weaknesses compared to the AT-AT (which, remember, is just a troop transport). While their guns were omnidirectional, the body itself was much weaker overall, and it was designed to be a jack-of-all-trades type of vehicle, versus the later AT-AT's full-frontal assault vehicle.
>>43822943
Did someone say CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT?
>>43824345
because setting the sky on fire takes a shit ton of effort early warning to set up and the recourses necessary to do it
>>43821262
Because the Guard can depend on Knights to support them, which are awesome, or Titans, which are dorky, but powerful.
>>43824317
It's their shtick. If the Imperium wasn't regressive and backwards 40k wouldn't be 40k.
>>43821301
Could you imagine that legal fight!?!?!
Who would win? GW or Disney's Legal teams.
>>43826621
Is this a serious question? GW got its ass handed to it by a guy working out of his basement.
>>43826621
No one beats the Mouse. Ever.
Disney was a known and stanch Anti-Semite. No one gives a fuck, and Disney is in the business of entertainment. That's how powerful the Mouse is.
>>43822145
>>43826688
>Disney was a known and stanch Anti-Semite.
For an anti-semite he sure did employ a lot of jews.
>>43826824
Hey, so did the Nazis.
>>43826865
You don't employ slaves, you own them. Far as I know, Walt didn't own any of the jews that worked for him, at least not anymore than any corporation owns it's employees.
>>43826802

I dunno, man, sounds to me like the Nazis "used" a lot of "jews" to do "a particular job".
>>43826688
So was H.P. Lovecraft, and he went over and married one. Disney hated Jews personally, but he was a businessman way before he was an antisemite. You cannot avoid dealing with Jews in the entertainment business, and Disney did. A lot. To this day, some of the most prominent figures in the company, management AND creative/production, are Jews.
That said, they still have one of the best legal departments in the world. To think that GW would even be a challenge to them is the kind of pathetic blabbering you'd expect to hear from a neckbeard so greasy he literally isn't aware of the fact that there exists a world outside his hobby, so he thinks of GW as some kind of big economic force just because within the tiny pond that is his world, they look it.
By the standards of large business companies, GW is a fucking smudge on the map. They don't hold a candle to the conglomerates that all but run modern society. In a legal battle, Disney would crush them so hard it'd be a miracle if Tom Kirby doesn't end up cleaning toilets in Orlando for the rest of his life when the trial is over (that is, two minutes after it starts).
Why is some fag wanking over how big Disney's legal team is
"The Mouse"? Seriously?
>>43828127
Those jews have enough girth to their law cock to keep pushing back when copyright expires, just to make sure nobody but them gets to use their stuff.
>>43826401
Even the AT-AT suffers greatly from forward mounted guns that can't pivot much and it being based off a Sith War Monster (that nobody even remembers) for some moronic reason.
Although the repulsorlift version of the AT-AT is pretty based and a lot more sensible. IIRC it was aquatic.
>>43828176
Disney is the reason copyright laws went from 50 years after creator death to 70.
>>43828296
Is there an echo in here? I just said that.
>>43823063
Really, you're going to call out all that but not the fact that the driver is in a clearly exposed front compartment where as little as one rocket or even just a well placed high velocity round can kill them?
>>43826824
He thought Jews were good with making money. Like how you employ Dwarves to make gold for you.
>>43828554
He probably also had OCD and was very paranoid about communism to such a degree that he considered his workers to be traitors for forcing a union while he was away at vacation.
>>43828668
>he considered his workers to be traitors for forcing a union while he was away at vacation.
Well they kinda were
>>43828554
You hate dwarves? That's an axe-in'.
>>43828734
Only because he never cut them any slack. They compared the working studios to concentration camps and called one of them Mousewitz.
He pretty much threatend to close down his entire business because his workers asked for some human dignity.
>>43824199

>>43828127
>The Mouse
Yes seriously. Disney writes the fucking copyright laws in the US.
>>43824317
You see the Imperial Archiving system? You could spend years just looking for the index.
Why are Knights and Guardsmen separate chains of command? If some Knight suddenly decides he's too chivalrous for this shit, the dudes on the ground just lost their giant walker.
I'm sure there are IG regiments from some world where tracked vehicles don't work, and the AdMech lets them have all kinds of walkers that replace Chimeras, Leman Russes and maybe even Baneblades.
>>43829769
Have you even read them? The vast majority of their claims were found to be fair use. The entire point of them going into the lawsuit was to get Chapterhouse on their use of GW's intellectual IP and only stopped them from producing a few things. Hell, they were so fucking retarded in the way they approached it that they were essentially unable to prove their copyright claims for various things, and tried to bring a completely unrelated company (Paulson Games)'s models into the lawsuit despite having no connection with their claims.
Their damages were waived and their appeals were dismissed with prejudice. If you're honestly under the impression that GW came out of this without getting shit on, your a moron. The only reason Chapterhouse went out of business was because of the cost of legal fees to fight the legal battle. But the lawsuit has left a positive precedence for 3rd party bits producers and is why you never hear about GW sending C&D's willy nilly anymore.
Educate yourself before shitposting, anon.
>>43830326
Because of the Horus Heresy. And because not all Knights are allied with the Imperium. The no-ally and Mechanicus houses wouldn't take orders from IG.
>>43830342
>beaten by some dude in his basement

Your definition of victory is retarded.
>>43830362
What happens after the case concludes is immaterial to who won the case.
>>43829830
I'm pure as clean burning flame. You can have the biggest gun and all the faith in the Emperor that's possible but with no common sense you're flailing around burning everything that shouldn't be burned. Sure you'll hit something that should be burned, but you'll waste the fuel for the flamer if you hit something that shouldn't be burned.
>>43829714
This picture pretty much sums up 40k
>>43830445
If you're the "vast majority" moron up there, I like how you fail to mention certain claim groups where GW wins over half of them, and the end result of the case is Chapterhouse being forced to pay GW damages and then going out of business, so lol. "Victory".
