He's mostly in the AoS threads now, or /vg/. It's been pleasant without him. Or would be without all the whining and people posting inane drivel just to bother people.
>>47536518
Because?
Newcomer to 40k here. I started collecting some Space Marines back in the day, roughly 7-10 years ago, and all of those Space Marines have much smaller bases than the new Space Marines, even some Dark Angels vets I picked up recently. Do I have to rebase each and every single one of them or can I still play them with the smaller bases?
>>47536594
naa,smaller bases are cool brah
>>47536594
you can play em with the smol bases
>>47536594
You can still use the smaller bases if you want. All old versions of models are still legal to use, including base sizes.

>>47536800
His name is Urist.
can vespid JSJ? i'm assuming they can't because of 2d6 movement instead of 6" but want to beg sure
Also, does ap3 really make a difference on S5 vs AP5?I really want to like the vespid but even with thier I6 Ld9 and decent rules they just seem extremely worthless for the points cost
>>47536825
Vespid are jump infantry, not jetpack, so they can't JSJ but they can move 12" in the movement phase.
>>47536825
>they just seem extremely worthless for the points cost
That's just because they're in the Tau codex. As a unit, they're pretty dang solid.
You just have better tools at your disposal.
>>47536825
they suffer from being an all around not bad unit in a really cheesy army, they're bad by comparison
>>47536825
They are crisis made in China. They only work well in close-quarters like cities.
>>47536861
k, thanks for clarifying
>>47536869
>>47536877
Ahh i see, I see alot of people hating on the vespids but its simply because that its bad in comparison, not outright
I really want to use them for backline harassment, had my first match (500pts) on sunday and was getting constantly hammered by missile launchers, was thinking that vespid would be a good alternative to an elite slot to counter them
>>47536518
CSM already got their update for the year though in the form of the supplement re-prints. Their next codex should come out around Q1 2017 I think.
>>47536794
>>47536810
Already have an xv9 in that pose, can you post yours for reference?
>>47536899
Why are youtelling me?
>>47536928
anon was saying the CSM were due for a codex upgrade so 8th had to be just around the corner, but CSM aren't getting a dex for a long time, so either 8th isn't coming out any time soon or CSM are slipping into NPC faction like SoB, Orks, Nids, Scions, etc and won't get a new codex ever again
>>47536825
AP3 vs AP5 honestly just comes down to what you're fighting.
If you know you're gonna be fighting a MEQ-type army, you can't get much better. Versus a GEQ-type army though, not so much.
Also, not really my place to say this, but don't not use Vespid just because they're sub-optimal.
It'd be a real breath of fresh air to see them on the table from an enemy's point-of-view, and i think it'd go a long way in terms of improving the reputation of Tau players in general. Plus, from a strategic point of view, I doubt most people who would play against you as Tau would think that you'd bring some.[/soapbox]
>>47536967
Origin of claim is OP.
>>47536997
vespid models are finecast and in goofy poses
>>47537003

a bunch of other people are saying 8th is coming soon though. Previous editions have been two years apart. That youtuber Fritz seems to think 8th is going to shake things up a lot.

>>47537018

>>47537059
That looks pretty nice. how does that work with oval bases? they don;t have a front or anything like infinity right?
>>47537059
>those HUGE gaps on the weapon
>>47537072
because it is a creature and not a vehicle it's facing doesn't matter.
>>47537072
since its a monstrous creature it has a 360 degree firing arc, so the base doesnt really matter other than to take up space
>>47537074
I'm more concerned that I'll have to green stuff the bottom of the foot to not have huge holes in it, honestly.
Can wait though, it's fairly far back on my painting backlog.
>>47537086
Base size does, though. Blasts and close combat, not to mention simply interacting with terrain all use the base, rather than the model. .
not something I'd raise a stink over, but smaller than normal bases are frowned on for a reason
>>47537086
>>47537095
Ok, thanks. the narrow bit as the front would make it easier to hide the base I think too
>>47537116
It looks like its on the right oval base.
>>47537124
>It looks like its on the right oval base.
oh shit, I'm blind
looked like a circular base
>>47537116
funnily enough when it comes to terrain a larger base is usually better so you can get your toe into cover more easily
>somewhere I have some really ancient metal terminators on 25mm rounds

Also grey knights have a wulfen caged up and can testify no warp taint in him
>>47537166
all kroot really need are some more plastic options. Plastic oxen, hounds and a shaper is all the unit wants.
>>47537362
They aren't the best units ever but to claim they need to be better is utterly delusional.
>>47537362
groups of 20 not 30, 6+ armor save, if you add sniper rounds they are the same cost per unit as fire warriors because you are always going to need the shaper and hound
the only thing that makes them worthwhile is the infiltrate + acute senses, but you already have better options for that from stealth suits
>>47537409
Why do you need either?and 6+ is entirely irreverent, if you arent putting them in cover you are wasting your time, and their rules. infiltrate means you can grentee they will be in range to attack a specific target,from turn one. 20 snipers means 5 wounds regardless of toughness, which is pretty nice. point is they are cheap, and can both hold back and mid feild objectives, whilst also putting out a modest amount of fire power
i cant recall off the top of my head,but dont they also have like stelth(forests) or something? not great, but it basically means 4++ everywhere
as someone who plays orks,CSM and C:SM,let me tell you:kroot are not bad
>>47537452
>i cant recall off the top of my head,but dont they also have like stelth(forests) or something? not great, but it basically means 4++ everywhere
does stealth forests also work in ruins? otherwise thats not 4++ everywhere
>>47537452
are you saying tactical marines are worse than kroot?
>>47537512
point for point, i would say yes. tacs have a serious identity crisis.
thats not to say tacs are bad in all circumstances, (eg demi-company), or really 'bad' at all in compared to some troops (i'm looking at you slugga boys) but they sufferer from being generalists in a game that rewards specialists.
>>47537452
>4++ everywhere
>what is ignore cover
you would need the shaper because you are going to be nowhere near an ethereal if you take one, 7ld and pretty bad saves is just a recipe for your entire unit legging it instead of doing their job
if you are taking snipers, its 8ppm with a shaper, not 7ppm
>>47537530
>thinks tacticals are worse than kroot
Space Marine players everyone.
>>47537556
>Generalizing based on one person
Tacticals are garbage compared to the other options SM has, but not as bad as kroot.

i mean,sure you can just post smug green text instead of an argument, thats you choice i guess.not saying i am 100% right, just give me something to work with here
What tasks do the Fire Caste do while not at war or in reserves? Is it endless training and wargames or something else?
Why is every flyer ugly as fuck?
No faction has a good looking flyer. Eldar, maybe, come closest.
>>47537645
Good flyers are on Forgeworld.
>>47537642
>What tasks do the Fire Caste do while not at war or in reserves? Is it endless training and wargames
Yes.
Except for Shas'o, who have the option of retiring, although most don't.
>>47537642
Hunting and getting drunk.
Can Kroot eat Tyranids? What would happen if they did?
>>47537598
there's no point, you'd wouldn't change your mind. You'd just go on thinking tacticals are worse. I don't play tau, and I can tell you without a doubt, if I did I would never take kroot. Ever.
Here you go. Tacticals have:
>3+ saves vs a 6+
>options for special and heavy weapons
>options for good cheap transports
>atsknf
>sergeants have a chance to do something in challenges
>better S, T, BS, I, and leadership
>combat squads
Tacticals can at least be made slightly useful. Kroot are just fodder, and will get run down by basically anything in assault or shot/flamed off the board in droves. The only reason for someone telling a tau player to use kroot is if they want to beat the person.
>>47537645
>not liking glorious necron croissants.
Hon hon hon.
>>47537684
The Shapers have declared them inedible. Dunno what would happen, maybe they'd die or go insane or something.
>>47537598
>>47537687
Don't let a space marine player tell you kroot aren't shit unless he runs scout snipers.
>>47537684
They have under the control of the hivemind.
The Kroot don't just assimilate the genes of what they eat, they assimilate the thought patterns and personality of their prey.
>>47537684
They can't and won't, for a very good reason.
Tyranids aren't eaten even by bacteria and carrion eaters. Nids are toxic as fuck, and eating them is a very, very bad idea.
>>47537704
Just don't like the pilot. Thankfully a lychguard shield fits over the gap nicely.
Why don't they label books better?
A kid at my FLGS almost bought last editions Tau codex because the guy working only knew MtG.
>>47537713
That would make a cool themed army.
>>47537722
>Nids are toxic as fuck
Tyranids are /pol/?:^)
>>47537722
Orks have eaten Tyranids. In fact, Orks make comments that certain types of Tyranids are very delicious.
Also Necron Flayed Ones devoured some Tyranids too.
>>47537740
Orks believe tasty things are fine, therefore they are immune to the nasty shit you get from eating tyranid
Necrons are whatever the fuck
>>47537740
Orks are so hardy that them being able to ingest nids sorta makes sense.
Also, flayed ones don't eat anything. They just shove shit into their metal mouths ad grind it up because they are retards.
>>47537665
If so, what % occupies the Fire Caste in every Sept? How many resources are dedicated to Fire Caste military. Is there anything productive they can do while in long-time (years) reserves?
>>47537722
Shame. It'd be neat to have some nid infested Imperium world with cowboy styled PD munching on Tyranid bits because all the native fauna is dead.
>>47537684
They can eat Necrons too!The result is not more pleasant.
>>47537757
> Is there anything productive they can do while in long-time (years) reserves?
probably consulting with earth caste to build and improve wargear/defences/vehicles
>>47537770
How does that even work? Can they eat tanks as well? Baneblades?
>>47537722
>>47537684
I think KillTeam had a Sharper with +3 Armor save because he ate a bloody Tyranid. Fuck the fluff.
>>47537780
Living Metal.
>>47537642
>endless training and wargames
That's the logical conclusion. Higher ranking members probably study military theory if the paragraphs about travelling to see Puretide is any indication. Shadowsun also has a personal dilemma about joining a breeding program so that's something that Fire Warriors might get up to.
>>47537757
>If so, what % occupies the Fire Caste in every Sept?
Don't ask GW for hard numbers.
>How many resources are dedicated to Fire Caste military.
Well, how do you break that down? Because resources dedicated to the Earth Caste often wind up in Fire Caste hands.
Basically all Tau resources are dedicated to expansion, either directly through conquest and diplomacy, or indirectly through research and training.
>Is there anything productive they can do while in long-time (years) reserves?
Every four years of service, a firewarrior undertakes a Trial of Fire, to attempt promotion to the next rank.
Aside from that, they train. But it's a more modern real world style of training than, say, Space Marines. They not only exercise and practice accuracy and discipline, but also study the art of warfare and maintain military academies. The higher ranking members also advise the Tau military council. They also use cryotech during long FTL trips.
Keep in mind Firewarriors prepare to fight from the moment they're born. Even before conception, generations of selective breeding have prepared their genetics for combat. As soon as they're able, they're split into groups that will persist for life, and train for years until they're promoted to Shas'la and sent off to expand the Empire.
>The Silver Skulls of the Adeptus Astartes encountered Kroot that had assimilated DNA from the Eldar and gained powerful psychic powers, which allowed them to cover themselves in an illusionary disguise that hid their true nature, appearing instead as dark, midnight-blue creatures with smooth skin, long sinewy limbs, clawed fingers, and large amethyst-purple eyes set in a comparatively small, elongated face that came to a triangular point with two nostril slits at the end, no visible ears, and a mouth full of a double set of razor-sharp teeth. Their psychic disguise was only ruptured when their cerebral connection was broken, such as when their head was severed, after which they would revert back to their true Kroot form.
>They also displayed the ability to generate multiple psychic illusions of themselves in battle, which appeared to their enemies as completely corporeal and capable of causing harm. However the illusions were extremely vulnerable to psychic attacks and would dispel back into thin air when hit by one.
>The Silver Skulls recognised that Kroot with psychic potential posed a grave threat to the Imperium and recommended the planet where they were encountered on be cleansed.

>magnetising FW
which bits? the guns and helmets or what?
>>47537814
> They also use cryotech during long FTL trips.
Could a Sept keep in cryostasis a large reserve of firewarriors and awaken them when necessary?
>>47537936
The guns, yeah. I want to be able to run breachers if I feel like it.
>>47537939
Expensive and resource intensive.
Cheaper to keep a flesh flow of new soldiers coming as the old ones die, especially with the pace of weapons technology, retraining the popsicles would take years.
>>47537939
They could, but there's not really a strong reason to.
Firstly, the Empire typically acts as a unified military unit, drawing troops from the septs. They don't normally fight on their own, like you see in the sprawling and disorganized Imperium.
Secondly, a Sept can usually assume it'll have more soldiers in the future than it does in the present, so it makes the most sense to use today's soldiers for expansion, instead of holding them in reserve.
However, if you really like the idea, I see no reason a Sept world under direct invasion couldn't awaken some frozen legion of superior soldiers for defense. The Tau have demonstrated willingness to freeze their top lads.
>>47537969
I don't think it would be more expensive than having them on a ship. They mastered slower-than-light-interstellar travel first. Less food, water, oxygen, space, and resources consumed while in stasis. A significant part of the Fire Caste is always in space anyway in rapid-reaction fleets.
>>47537939
Way to dangerous, theyd have to deal with soldiers with Oldthink ideas and memories that conflict with Truepast.
>>47538019
The Ethereals do rewrite history, but I can't think of any event frozen FW could recall that would be problematic, aside from Farsight who's barely been forgotten anyways.
>>47537939
What about a Sept that have learn the value of keeping a cryostatis reserve with Earth, Fire, Water, and Ethereal Castes in case there's a catastrophic event, regular hazards on a Death World or a total war?
>>47538066
I doubt they would ever freeze an ethereal.
That vehicle doesn't sound Sept-y, but keep in mind every Tau world isn't a Sept. Septs are major economic and cultural centers, the Tau maintain a larger number of myriad of lesser colonies. You could have a frontier colony with a small population that has its castes frozen and rotated out due to frequent disaster.
So Kroot can't eat Nid's, what about if Kroot managed to harvest a bunch of Omophagea organs from some space marines and ate those?
The Omophagea is the organ that allows a space marine to access the memories of those he eats and it sounds like an ability that Kroot would find especially useful.
I'm going to be playing a Kroot in a Rogue Trader game and I'm toying around with a few ideas.
>>47538042
Actually I think Farsight could be a big one, and a big reason why the Farsight Enclaves actually survive.
Prior to his "rebellion", Farsight was Puretide's magnum opus. This was the man that the Ethereals claimed would spearhead Tau Expansion and he actually did it. Imagine waking up after a couple of centuries to find out that this man had rebelled against the Greater Good. It's probably be very hard to swallow for some of the old guard that fought alongside him, especially in his anti-Ork campaigns. Some of those Tau might never be awoken from stasis.
>>47538114
>The Omophagea is the organ that allows a space marine to access the memories of those he eats

>>47538120
>It's probably be very hard to swallow for some of the old guard that fought alongside him, especially in his anti-Ork campaigns. Some of those Tau might never be awoken from stasis.
Of course. But supposedly he divides the Tau even to modern times, so I don't think there'd be a need to keep good soldiers frozen. People are mad about Farsight already anyways.
>>47538123
Old SM codices, but also the new one, iirc. If SPESS MEHRENES eat brains, they gain memories & experiences of the owner.
>>47538120

Anon, please.
Kais and Shadowsun were briefed about Farsught's treachery. You know, the guys that were so close to him as to be his siblings. Heck, if Kais didn't fuck up, all three of them would have soul-bounded/married together via the bomding ritual. This was how close they were.
They turned out fine.
>>47538134
Farsight still has a lot of sympathizers and supports within the spets, especially his own sept where they still have statues of him in spite of the the Ethereals decree.

>>47537587
>generalizing Tau players is okay, but generalizing marines is not
Alright buddy.
To give my two cents: you have to be straight up retarded to look at kroot and Tactical marines and think the kroot are better. They can fullfill more roles, has chapter tactics, will never have leadership issues, and have amazing options. Snipers are so-so. Compared to shit like grav, it is straight up useless. And hey, tacticals have access to that.
But of course, I play Deldar, so sniper doesn't look all that impressive, and your 20 sniper shots *might* get 2 rending hits per turn, and the heavy profile isn't doing them any favours.

>>47536768
You're wasting the mark of slaanesh if you're just taking bolters. Go melee with them. Alternatively just go for Noise Marines with sonic blasters, but you'll pay 5 points extra per marine. Still a better show.
And yeah you're gonna get tabled pretty hard. Cultists are made of toilet paper, a single Oblit isn't hard to fuck up and 3 Terminators will get torn to shreds the turn after they DS (they can't charge and only have 1 shot)

>What's the worst non-unbound list Tau can take?
krootox+breacher spam? It could work pretty well to be fair
>>47538513
Probably CADs with nothing but non-sniper Kroot without Shapers/hounds/etc and Vespid.

In terms of air support for equalish points how do the following stack up against each other?

At Tau A/I/WS, though. And less sturdy.
>>47538467
>>47538441
Problem, Astartes?
>>47538624
less WS, but higher str, more attacks and more wounds for such low points is a pretty good option for tying up squads trying to assault your fire warriors
Tau bashing should be a national sport.
>>47536491
What is the name of the Emperor?
Surely his mother didn't name him first name God last name Emperor.
Anybody else dissapointed in the new Kill Teams minidexes being posted lately? The formatting is terrible and the people writing them want to include every scrap of fluff ever about the models making every dex very scattered and filled with useless, redundant, or broken options.
They have the old ones on the site but I fear people will flock to the new ones.

Did any Tau/Raven Guard player ever mourn their deads?
>>47538812
I know most Tau didn't mourn their losses, because Aun'Va was replaced by a hologram. Now that's fine and all, can't be having the entire Empire clutched by fear or sense of loss at a time like this, but I expected more of them to freak out beforehand.
>>47538245
But anon, they have one whole hull point more than Space Marine fliers! Surely this makes up for vastly increased likelihood of suffering a one-hit-kill!

>>47539021
Even non-psykers feel a massive hateboner for a blank. A Culexus is that x100 due to his equipment and can use it as a weapon. He's like a living gun that can shoot people with full-body tremors and nightmares so fierce they kill you.
>>47539021
>psychic assassin somehow melting the brains of nonpsychic soldiers
Anti-Psychic, a Culexus has an incredibly strong Pariah aura that assaults the minds and souls of those it touches. Tau, having less souls, probably fare better than Humans exposed to their raw power, but this would be a pain they could never have prepared for.
>>47538782

GW's artists just really can't figure out how to draw Tau faces, can they?
>>47538939
Dawn Blade steeling life. A Prophecy surrounding him etc. A significant number of backstories of the Eight are old theories behind Farsight's unnatural lifespan:
-Bravestorm: Technology keeps him alive forever trapped within a Crisis suit, just like a Dreadnought.
-Shas'vre Ob'lotai 9-0: an AI engram with the personality of Farsight's long-dead superior.
-Commander Sha'vastos: Put in stasis until he could get the early Puretide Brain Chip.
-Brightsword: inherited the title from a series of previous Brightsword (some of them clones).
>>47538933
Considering they were all false in the few last years, you can ask for rumors from your grandma and it would be as accurate.
>>47539049
So it's essentially Big Boss leading a team of ghosts and clones.
>>47538812
No, and I hate that aspect of the lore.
GW kills important people off just for it to not matter and nothing to change. Usually to replace them with basically the same person.
Why kill off Aun'va if nobody cares?
Why kill off Horus just to write in Abaddon to take his place?
>>47538812
Aun'Va dying is nothing but a net gain for the Tau, he was dangerously manipulative and essentially responsible for more Tau deaths than anyone else in galactic history.
Do you want 40k to advance into M43?

Horus's death is what defused the Heresy from a hot war to the ongoing feud it became.

You think that's bad? Things could be worse you know?
>>47539087
Ehh, that's always a sensitive issue and completely subjective depending on your world viewpoint. He also orchestrated the Third Sphere Expansion and gave the Empire many new worlds and homes, technological advances and prosperity.
It's kindof like saying "A dictator is a bad thing". Sure, they torture and kill and oppress but they tend to give stability, jobs and decently high quality of life to their countries. You just have to obey.

If Horus was around now, say after reforming in the warp over a few thousand years, would anything be different? Ignoring his personal power level, because:
>warp magicks
>power levels in 40k change more often than DBZ
>in a world where GW didn't replace characters with miniature versions of themselves, there'd still be primarchs around leading their chapters to oppose him
>>47539115
It's just funny how every attempt at showing unmasked Tau looks silly in its own different way every time.
>>47539115
is this what was shown in DoW trailer?
>>47539080
Horus needed to die for the Heresy to be over.
>>47539098
No because GW can't write to save their lives. If the End Times taught us anything it's better to stay stagnant than to risk Age of Sigmar.
>>47539141
He can't reform. The Emperor destroyed his soul.
>>47539159
>Horus needed to die for the Heresy to be over.
>He can't reform. The Emperor destroyed his soul.
I'll take hypothetical situations for 500, Alex.
>>47539158
Nigga please. The new DoW3 alpha shots might not look the greatest but they are far superior to AoS.
>>47539169
Just got up, m8. Horus was the greatest of the Primarchs and it would take more than his brothers to beat him as the only one that could died.
>>47539186
kek, i meant the bodies falling in the trailer, is it meant to be the same place?
>>47539194
Nah.
>>47539194
I think what is shown in the DoW 3 trailer is supposed to represent Khornes skull throne.
>>47539098
End of Times in 40k is likely to last hundreds or thousands of years. We could have 1 or 2 decades ahead of us.
>OP messing with everyone by saying they'll be a new CSM dex
Fuck you man, that would have made my entire week
>>47539235
i thought that too
>>47539186
>>47539159
The Emperor obliterated Horus's very soul within the Warp.
But little by little, the Chaos Gods have pieced the fragments back together. Horus remains a shadow of his former self, but every day his form grows stronger. It is only a matter of time before no man in the Imperium can stand against him, as it was always meant to be.
But he grows impatient. Why wait a millennia to regain his strength, when the only force opposing his rejuvenation - the God Emperor's influence upon the Warp - could be so easily severed?
>>47539278
That's fine, though. And interesting.
I don't want a setting reboot. Just an advancement. Let things start to change. Kill off some important people. Let some new people rise to glory, or die trying.
>>47539303
Why did you trust that? You're a CSM player. You're meant to only be a punching bag until the daemons show up.
>>47539347
There should be no advancement until the artwork is better.
>>47539364
That may be an even more foolish dream than hoping the writing is good.
>>47539395
No good new artwork? No advancement.
>>47538791
Thats not how that works.

Also, advancing the plot doesn't cause the old plot to stop existing.
>>47539515
Yeah, this bothers me too.
What's cucking him? Is he just more useful to the ruinous powers as a human?
>>47539468
by the emperor that is a smug face. he has to be happy with his life. imagine casuing the greatest civil war in existence, helping to cripple a living man made god, and you know he corrupted the formula for coke to make it permanently into pepsi just to spite humanity. i wonder what the bounty is on him, maybe not more then Abbadon but more then Kharn.
>>47539532
he probably refused the promotion

Now I'm expecting the two Leman Russ recasts to be shit, but I'm fucking hype about the Renegade bits.
Dude told me it's better than geedub's finecast which was all I needed to hear to sell me on it.
From y'all's experience, how have recasts treated you? I might have to take this question to the wip general, but I'll do that later.
>>47539572
>Why do the chaos gods need squishy mortal champions?
if you were an immortal god, would you personally fuck up a galaxy for a few years, or would you watch your minions do it for eternity?

That's right, and since it happened, now no armies other than Necrons are allowed on the table. History is rewritten such that none of the events prior to M43 ever occurred. Narrative campaigns are outlawed by president Clinton after the US annexes post-brexit UK and nationalizes GW. Anyone who speaks of factions or fluff that occurred earlier in the timeline is deported to a gulag under a joint agreement with Russia. Old minis must be turned over to be melted down into Finecast, and refusal is punishable by death.
>>47539601
AoS wasn't advancing the plot, it was starting over. I don't want GW to say "chaos wins, galaxy over, let's start fresh". I just want to see what happens next.
Full end of galaxy will take centuries or longer.
>>47539593
Love that pic, you'd figure a Bloodletter is just a mindless incarnation of roaring and fury, so he wouldn't care about being grabbed, he'd still be swinging his sword. But no, he's just "Blargh, god fucking damnit, lemme go, I need to kill things!"
Lychguard are based and give no fucks. Pity they blow chunks with Warscythes cause they'll never get to fucking attack. Defensive shieldwall is the only good configuration.
>>47539603
i find that finecast has a good amount of misaligned models.
>>47539631
doom guy might be human but he's at least captain america level and as of 4 dosing himself in all that blood/magic has made him immortal

I've only gotten small stuff and from one seller but pretty good overall.
Luckily if the Russes are fucked you can pass it off as battle damage and chaos taint.
>>47539569
I wonder if the Imperium even knows the full extent of his role in corrupting Lorgar and Horus.
It all happened behind the scenes.
>>47539499
Advancing the plot forwards gives the ability to expand the factions without retcons. Like Tau with their new suits coming in all these new books- once they catch up to the timeline, there's no more room for that stuff.
>>47539603
>Now I'm expecting the two Leman Russ recasts to be shit
They might be, but then again they might not. Here's my recasted Russ parts
>>47539612
I said representation, as in metaphor, not literal direct imagery. I made the connection based upon the 'Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne' saying, and the imagery in the trailer of the bodies of 3 different races falling into the heap together.
Its just my interpretation of the trailer. It could be something else of meaning, or nothing at all.
>>47539603

No, his name really is Emperor. The word Emperor was derived from Emperor's name. Although he has gone by some other names in the past, such as Conan the Barbarian.
>>47539787

Because you're a meme-spewing moron.

Being a Tau is probably pretty sweet, especially if you're not a member of the Fire Caste or Air Caste.
Tinkering and inventing, or schmoozing ayyylmaos, or reproducing for the greater good with tsun blue women, all day every day.
