whats the difference between 40k and fantasy do they take place in the same universe or what?
>>332132695
They used to, but that was several editions and years ago
>>332132695
They do not.
Fantasy got all fucked up recently, so it's best to ignore it. They shared similar lore with the Chaos gods but that was about it.
>>332132776
anyone know if that eternal crusade game is any good?
>>332132407
I just finished it a few days ago. I really wish I could get my hands on that Blood Ravens pre-purchace only skins though. I want to save the empire with the best wargear the empire has to loanpermanently
>>332132891
It's cancer and the developers are useless. Save your cash. Space Marine is a million times better.
>>332132407
The chess game, Regicide, is pretty darn good if you like chess. Don't bother with Eternal Crusade just yet, or at least wait until they're out of alpha.
An often overlooked game is Warhammer 40000 Squad Command for the PSP. It's pretty darn good and it runs really well on PPSSPP. It's an X-com clone of sorts.
>>332132407
>X GON' GIVE IT TO YA
who here hype for battlefleet gothic?
>>332133106
Is that like Sins of a Solar Empire but 40k?

>>332133345
>choosing the barbarians of space over the righteous imperium
>>332133434
its a straight port of the tabletop game, makes sense it's on a 2D plane
>>332133434
the gameplay that they showed so far looks pretty interesting
>>332133558
Eargerly waiting for Deathwing.
>>332133627
They should port WH40K proper to a videogame.
>>332133448
"Ye olden fantasy" as you know it got nuked to shit and remade, quite literally. Go look up "Age of Sigmar"
>>332133627
I know
>>332133708
ded
>>332133718
that would actually pretty interesting to see
>>332133738
omg
is that like
is that a sigmapothecary
lol XDDD
>>332133815
they actually showed off some gameplay for it
>>332133718
If you mean turnbased, there's already few. DoW2 is more similar to tabletop than DoW1, even though unit count is ass
>>332132891
its unfinished, needs a LOT of work for it to be worthwhile. It's got a lot of potenial but its to be seen if the devs are up for the task.
they seem to really like the lore though, going as far as to give the Altansar craftworld a unique voice pack
at this point I think the incredibly poor preformance is the biggest issue.
wait and see how its after the official release before even considering spending money on it.
>>332134009
Well, no, I mean a direct port of all the rules.
>>332133718
Not while GW can still sell expensive miniatures to people. The only reason Total Warhammer is occuring is because Age of Sigmar happened.
>>332133738
what the hell ...? i missed it
why didnt they stick their space armor in appropriate age ?
Was it explained?
>>332133738
>That pic
What the hell? Did they just want to find an excuse to put in 40k aesthetics to the fantasy setting or something?
>>332134157
why would the video game sales cause a drop in the tabletop sales?
>>332134157
So, is there any way to tell if the sigmar ruse actually worked? Are they actually selling more figurines?
>>332134213
>>332134224
Yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-MzNpMD1K8
>>332133662
Is it like SW: Empire at wars?
>>332134397
its easier to show you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La97j3EUtME
>>332133738
Oh look, now there's a reason to hate another company apart from EA til my dying breath.
>>332134139
GW would never allow it because if something that good existed it could potentially maybe possibly cut into figure sales and it's just not a chance we I mean they're willing to take
>>332134318
What the fuck were they thinking? Why not keep both universes separate? Now you got both the Emperor and his freaking marines IN THE FANTASY UNIVERSE!
>>332134238
If people can just play the fucking tabletop on a computer, GW wouldn't have a good excuse to sell all of the crap surrounding the tabletop game. There's a reason why a straight port of the tabletop has never happened even though you would think that it would just be more convenient and easier to get into.
>>332134296
Who knows. As far as I can tell, GW thought that Space Marines were what make 40k popular, so they gave Warhammer Ground Marines for sphess muhrine fans to coo over.
>>332134642
It's a joke, here's the trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AQseMwiSYY
>>332134535
Imagine all the scumbag DLC they could sell. Also I don't think it would cut into their sales if they played it smart, look at skylanders.
>>332134645
>GW thought that Space Marines were what make 40k popular
Space Marines are still their highest selling model line. Same for any Space Marine BL novels.
You might enjoy the universe for everything other than Space Marines, but you're not the majority.
whens deathwatch
>>332134895
I know that they're popular in 40k, but I'm not sure that plonking them in fantasy was the most imaginative thing ever. Maybe AoS will sell well, who knows.
>>332134895
It would probably help if all of the novels weren't entirely focused on the imperium.
>>332135046
Never.Did you mean Deathwing? Nobody knows.
>>332134795
what a load of crap. where my peasants?
if i want dark fantasy with TAU I'll olay 40k
>>332134895
space marines are well represented among consumers in their physical stores. Some of the most popular factions from the polls on the Eternal Crusade forums are Sisters of Battle, Tau and Necron, dispite the Sisters' poor sales.
I think the vidya and physical stores shops are completely different consumers and have different preferences.
>Space Marine was supposed to be a trilogy before THQ went tits up
>5 years later still no Space Marine 2

>>332135153
>It would probably help if all of the novels weren't entirely focused on the imperium
There are some really great books that revolve around the Imperium. Problem is that they focus on the non-war shit, which GW likes to discourage.
The Shira Calpurnia series and a couple of Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn and Ravenor novels come to mind.
Worth mentioning is the new series, The Beast Arises. Half of it is focused on fighting Orks but there's an absolute ton of political stuff and it's pretty great4th book is absolutely fucking awful though.
>>332132407
This is an Eldar Farseer
>>332135398
>implying Titus is a traitor and not bitch boy Leandros
Leandros, some fuck who supposedly worships the fucking codex, ignored the guidelines and directly called the Inquisition on Titus without even referring him to a librarian or chaplain first.
Perhaps he simply wanted to be rid of Titus...
>>332135520
Looks kinda funny. Which craftworld did you say he was from?
>>332135520
This is a beaky 'umie git
>>332135153
>It would probably help if all of the novels weren't entirely focused on the imperium
Everyone else is boring. Aaron Dembski-Bowden can write a fucking amazing series about godamn Chaos Marines and make them interesting and empathetic.
By contrast, the Path of the Eldar novels just makes me wonder why anyone likes these autistic retards.
I'm still waiting to see if they ever release a good Tau book.
>>332135596
Leandros is just a newbie failure of a marine. Titus spilled so much blood that Khorne would be pleased as fuck, and there's that warp-resistance...
is there a map of the 40k universe that shows who is in control of which regions
>>332135801
he was mostly killing orkz, and killing that number of 'em isnt that unusual for a Captain.
So do Orks have a maximum size?
Are there Orks as big as Titans out there?
>>332135596
Leandros is a fucking cuck. Hope the Ultramarines shoot him out an airlock.
>>332135842
There's a bunch for each faction that shows how much presence they have throughout the galaxy.
So you can take them all and overlay them to get a big clusterfuck of war.
>>332135842
the Imperium controls pretty much the entire galaxy
>>332135973
>The Beast was perhaps the largest Ork Warboss ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. Said to be the size of a hab-block, The Beast made even Nobs appear as mere children in his presence and his mouth was filled with tusks the size of tree trunks.
>>332135904
Healing from killing enemies is unusual, though.
>>332135904
>Heals by spilling blood
>Needlessly violent executions
>His first thought of dealing with an ascended terminator chaos sorceror is to tackle him off a severel hundred kilometer tall spire and bash his face in with his bare hands while in freefall
>Resistance to sorcery that is common to Khorne worshippers
>>332136104
how have the tau not been wiped out yet and what about the eldar how big are they?
>>332136104
Is the tau empire really almost as big as ultramar?
>>332136256
fair enough, though you could potentially explain that as a gameplay mechanic since you could in theory go through the whole game without having to use Zeal mode at all
>>332136309
>Needlessly violent executions
>not purging the emperor's foes with extreme prejudice
>>332136337
mostly by being of insignificant importance
>>332135904
Over a whole campaign, yeah. But Titus was getting into entire mobs with just a chainsword and walking out healthier than he went in. That is not normal for a Captain by any means. Even with name given plot armor, he fucking solo'd a Warboss and an Chaos Lord, got stuck in with groups of nobz and flash gits, smashed his way through dozens of chaotic veterans and out shot far more psykers than he should have been able too. Leandros was fucking wrong about going to the Inquisition first, especially after Drogan had just proven them unreliable, but he was right that Titus is worthy of some investigation.
Magnus the Red did nothing wrong.
He only wanted to help.
>>332136256
But you see that was due to the power ofvideo games. Not every mechanic needs to have an in-universe justification.
>>332136397
>insignificant
>survived 2 crusades
Fanatics in full damage control mode.
BFG:A is a lot of fun
>>332136428
>That is not normal for a Captain by any means
its not normal for a regular grey knight to carve his name into the heart of a daemon primarch either.
I get what you mean though, im just saying that a bunch of this stuff can be explained away by saying its part of the plot or gameplay mechanics.
But more importantly, in Exterminatus mode you actually preform similar feats in the sense that you butcher hordes of orkz, nobz, flashgitz and veteran marines.
>>332136428
>Even with name given plot armor, he fucking solo'd a Warboss and an Chaos Lord
Nigger, a named Grey Knights captain solo'd a fucking demon Primarch, then got banished into the warp and proceeded to wreck every demon he met.
Plot armor has no limits.
>>332136514
>outer edge of the imperium
>not strategically located
>not in posession of much more valuable resources like STCs
>tiny empire
>no warp drive capable vessels
relatively speaking, they arent important to the Imperium. That said, the Imperium *is* seriously under-estimating them.
and also theyre hard at work going full men of iron. the problem might just solve itself.
>>332136337
The Tau had the good fortune of attacking at a time when a hive fleet was attacking the imperium somewhere else. This led to a shit tonne of space marine forces beign deployed and a shit tonne of imperial guard basically being abandoned on planets with no support, so they sided with the Tau and together they managed to take over a decent chunk of imperial space.
>>332136674
>>332136674
Kaldor Draigo's been snorting warp dust, though
>>332136464
He was so damn proud that he refused to think about the repercussions of his actions. Emps didn't bitch him out for just using his powers, he bitched him out for opening a daemonic rift into the Imperial Palace and destroying years of work on the one hope humanity had for cutting the warp out of their lives entirely. And Emps couldn't even fucking explain why not to use his powers because Magnus would take it as a challenge, that he could learn as much as possible about the Chaos Gods and not become their pawn.
>>332136731
Yeah and that fucker is quoted as a pinnacle of bad writing in 40k.
>>332136104
The galaxy map has always been propaganda. The Imperium has many worlds scattered throughout the entire galaxy but they are only connected to each other by randomly shifting warp routes. Position in he Warp has no real correlation to position in real space so a 'stable warp route' could link one end of the galaxy to another, one star system over or anywhere in between. There are tons of pockets and dark gaps where no Imperial has ever stepped foot because of this.
You should be able to tell that its propaganda even without knowing that. The Imperium claims ownership of the galactic core? Really? Exploding stars and super-massive black holes aren't so great for empire building.
>>332132891
Eternal Crusade is great. If anyone says that the devs are useless then they clearly havent been keeping up with it. The gameplay is a little rough at the moment, performance is not too much of an issue anymore but the devs are infact very passionate and are adding more to the game almost each week.
tl;dr it is fun
>tfw no qt shapeshifting super assassin to rape you to death
Curze had a hard life. Poor bastard never stood a chance.
>>332137065
>Yeah and that fucker is quoted as a pinnacle of bad writing in 40k.
Whether or not you think it's good or bad, it's canon.
Claiming that named characters shouldn't be capable of such feats is just out of touch.
>>332137217
Curze could have stomped her if he gave a fuck.
Too bad he was more concerned with being right.
>>332137153
>if anyone says that the devs are useless then they clearly haven't been keeping up with it
You realize that if we got what the devs promised then not only would the game have been fully released but it would have been a full featured MMO that also included alien races.
If you think it was only ever meant to be Battefield: Space Marine then don't go accusing other people of not keeping up with the development.
>>332137440
Dude's still chapter master of a chapter where every member is a psyker that has been possessed and un-possessed to kill daemons better
>>332133434
Are there any 3D space games that aren't first-person? The only one I can think of is Homeworld.
>>332134139
Look up the Vassal 40K module. It keeps getting DMCA'd, but it's probably still out there somewhere.
>>332137532
but Anon they already showed off the Eldar they will be implementing the coming month
and what the devs originally promised was incredibly optimistic given the timespan they had to develop it in.
the devs are doing a matchmaking thing now and want to gradually move to a proper open world gameplay as they were originally going to.
it was never meatn to be Battlefield, a comparison I dont even understand because its third person, has a dedicated melee system and is 4-way battle
>>332137217
>hard life
>>332138929
Given all the stuff they promised I'm not throwing any money at this thing until it's near complete.
Orc game when?
>>332139294
When people stop buying spess muhreens
>>332139152
oh its not going to be complete for a long time. and thats my point, the shit they promised takes a LOT longer to make than the short timespan they alloted it. In other words, the old devs were unrealistic and/or full of shit.
the new direction the game is going is more of a slow and steady approach, right now they're really crunching and adding shit on a near weekly basis. But plan to release a lot of the innitially planned content post-release, for free naturally.
You should not spend money on it now, and probably not on release either unless they significantly improve the preformance and you want a relatively simple game to kill time with till it gets fucking finished.
I dont feel very bad about owning it because a friend got it for me, but if I had paid for it I would not be happy. That said, its pretty clearly not fucking finished so its not fair to judge yet. Hope for the best, expect the worst. Keep your money for now.

That goddamn image always gets me. When guard get into situations that unwinnable the art always shows all of them dead and the last few about to off themselves. These guys are so fucked beyond belief but they're still fighting, bringing regular fucking swords to fight off bloodletters and plaguebearers. I'm honestly a bit confused how to feel.
>>332141939
One one hand, there's a lot of different characters in 40k that can make for an incredibly diverse roster.
On the other, it's mobashit.
![bga[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/uWR43LS.jpg "bga[1].jpg")
this is decent, though the community is awful
but i wouldnt recommend it at $40 unless you really like bfg and/or spaceships
I want a game set in the Old World.
But no, they had to fuck it up with AoS shit.
>>332141928
The reason those are more popular is because GW refuses to evolve, it's nuts they charge 50 bucks for a tiny plastic toy, it's nuts they don't advertise, it's nuts they have no problem licensing shitty mobile games but full games are a bitch to get off the ground, and it's nuts they event haven't considered a digital version of 40k table top (but a physical army, get a digital one also)
>>332142323
Total Warhammer and Vermintide. Bloodbowl sorta counts I guess.
>>332142151
they dont have much of a choice
>>332142187
Its not straight up mobashit, its a bit closer to bloodline champions but with a objective score instead of full arena.
>>332142323
AoS was the death knell to GW for me
i have literally no interest in giving them a single additional dollar since that piece of shit lazy penny-pinched insult of a reboot

They where about to go f2p too, but this was when EA was considered the worst
>>332142569
It just needs time to develop. The way it started off was confusing as hell but it's starting to make sense bit by bit. The thing is, Fantasy had like 30 fucking years of backstory, so no matter what, people are going to complain about the new stuff. My only gripe thus far is the lack of any regular human/empire people with average swords and shields. I got no gripe with the Sigmarines though.
>>332142947
No joke I was in complete fury when they axed it. I put so much time and effort into my characters. Keyboard broken, holes punched into the walls, fucking desk smashed. Nothing like that will ever exist again.
>>332142753
termies are confirmed for non-innitial release. they already have these free expansion packs planned ahead of time. Legion of the Damned, posessed marines and Autarchs are planned for release, not a lot of info on the Orkz though. We know Skarboy Kommandos are planned but no idea when.
they talk about this shit a lot during the streams.
so far it looks like theyre planning basic infantry + 1 hero class for release.
also a few tanks. the last patch added vindicator tanks to the new map. so that's 3 counting the rhino and predator we already had. no idea if they plan to release with 3 tanks per faction though.
>>332142786
I still think the game didn't do right by the system. WHFRP would be so much better as a core. No need to make shit up to make large armies fight. The world is in conflict as it is. All the backstabbing done by Elector Counts. All the problems with Beastmen and Chaos. All the shit Wizards do. So much potential.
>>332143072
I mean it's still playable on Russian servers (1000 people) but like I said EA killed it during the dark age of being worst company in US. They assumed f2p would cost too much and axed it,
