Don't worry Anon, Tarkus is always looking for more people to kill Xenos with.

And hopefully we'll see him in DoW3. Emperor knows he was the coolest BLAHD REHVAN in 2.

Instead I recommend the book "The Burning Shore" by Robert Earl. He took the historical "Discovery and Conquest of Mexico", a first person history by one of Cortez' conquistadors, and added Fantasy elements. Super good, though the rest of the series i young adult crap

Guard earlygame is all you really have to worry about, you need those upgrades and you need them now. Once the guard get going it becomes an unstoppable train of bodies and tanks, oh those glorious tanks.

Guard just needs to survive long enough to get upgrades and then you'll graduate from laserpointer to SHATTER THEIR SKY.

Commissars will keep the troops in line, get them get a lot of them for those shit situations and for the damage boost.

There's C.S. Goto.

Avoid him at all costs. He's effectively a cancer of an author, somewhat literally as he has leprosy. He rapes lore harder than Ward, and makes the Eldar Rapecstory linked earlier look tame compared to his elf snuff fetish.

DoW 3 de-canonizes half his work with DoW, though.

Joke/theme chapters are fine (as long as you treat them as a joke, not some super serious thing).

I remember hearing someone on /tg/ say something about making a luchador-themed chapter ("day of the dead"-themed chaplains would look rad as fuck), and i want someday to make a baseball themed ork klan/group (because of the slugga boyz).

>>336983136
Seems almost silly but expected of orks.

Also if they built some shitty mech out of scrap parts but it had no wiring or any mechanics to speak of, the "Waaagh!" would make it work?

Could be they are attracted to nearby fights so they have a tendency to turn up uninvited.

>Also if they built some shitty mech out of scrap parts but it had no wiring or any mechanics to speak of, the "Waaagh!" would make it work?
I'm not totally up to date with current fluff. I always felt that the ork psychic thing could make a very unreliable piece of equipment basically functional, but not turn something outright unusable into a functioning machine. Hence why mekboyz are needed to actually build stuff.

They go to the "Chaos" warp. FTL requires 3 things in 40k.
- A special psyker called a Navigator. They have a warp eye that allows them to see currents in the warp. You can jump without one but it's riskier, less accurate and mostly restricted to short distances/well known and stable routes.
- A Geller field. This stops the daemons getting in.
- A Warp drive this gets you into the warp in the first place.

According to one of the wiki sites.
>Also unlike other Legions and their Successors, the Imperial Fists and their successors are quite different from each other. When it was split, the views of the individual Space Marines chosen as founders and leaders determined the chapter they succeeded into; the Imperial Fists retained those Marines most loyal to the Primarch; those that were unable to accept the constraints of the Codex became the Black Templars; and those who embraced the Codex became the Crimson Fists.
Seems fairly open to doing whatever you want.

Chaos Marines use daemons to their advantage in combat, and their various iconography (re; spiky bits) serve as a way for the daemons to differentiate them from non-warp touched entities.

Possessed Chaos Marines and Chaos Champions have been recognised by the chaos gods and may be afforded some degree of respect from Daemons. Ordinary Marines yet to make a name for themselves might well end up being a target.

Note that Khornate Berserkers, Slaaneshi Noisemarines, Tzeentchi Runic Sorcerers and Nurgling Plague-Marines all serve an aspect of the chaos gods. It is common amongst chaos legions to have individuals worshipping different aspects.

Chaos Undivided gets interesting, where the Marines literally bend the Daemons to their will through witchcraft not too dissimilar from what the Ordo Hereticus does.

Most important of all is that compared to an ordinary human, a Chaos Marine is no more valuable than anyone else in the eyes of the chaos gods. Hell - a Titan pilot is faaar more valuable if you think about it, though they normally end up daemonkin.

Don't worry man I was literally you 3 months ago.

Chaos Marines are not demons, but rather Space Marine Legionnaires who turned to Chaos with their Primarchs during the period of the Horus Heresy. Daemons exist in the Warp after it was fucked and serve a particular Chaos God (Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle, and Slaanesh ranked from best to worst. Fuck Slaanesh man, I wish Tzeentch got more representation in the vidya ). The Chaos Marines follow this trend, usually pledging allegiance to a certain Chaos God for their blessings, unless of course you are Abaddon (Armsbaddon baby) and worship all of them as Chaos Undivided so you can str8 fuck the Imperium of Man by initating THIRTEEN Black Crusades.

To give the wargear selection more variety, Relic included some very famous equipment from practically everyone in the Blood Raven armory. They also added flavor explaining how the BR acquired it, and almost all of them are dubious. Even those that read plainly, when put alongside the other, start to suggest that they were stolen. The phrase "gifted by the" is so common and suspicious that it's only reasonable to assume that is a stand-in for stolen.

Eldar Bestdar

Dark Eldar worst Dar but better than most.

This might be a good place to ask something. In the Eisenhorn books, Eisenhorn is so tortured by a guy he can never physically smile again because of nerve damage. Yet, I have read twice now "I smiled". What's the deal ?

40k video games are video games. 40k discussion is not video games.

Read the whole picture senpai.

According to your logic, Elder's Scrolls lore discussion also doesn't belong to /v/.

I didn't know Elder Scrolls was a table top universe. I'm glad we're able to discuss Traditional Games here on /v/ - Video Games. Also, most of the arguments are irreverent or false comparison.
>>
>>336988602
They do in DoW. And that's all that matters.
>>
>>336988431
Anon, thank god you're here. There's a Dark Souls lore thread up. I don't think they've mentioned game mechanics once. Go quickly, your people need you.
>>
>>336988652
40k is both a tabletop universe, as well as a vidya one m8. Also, /tg/ discusses Elder's Scrolls plenty, so your whining is moot.
>>
>>336988528
>>336988537

Yeah, but I'm now reading the second book, and in one early chapter Bequin and another guy start laughing after they see Eisenhorn smiling after a comment so they know he was joking.
>>
>>336987678
Also if >>336988128 and >>336988047 interest you, I suggest reading up on 40k events through the Lexicanum and the Wiki.

Look for:
>Horus Heresy
>Fall of the Eldar
>Wars for Armageddon
>Age of Apostasy
>War in Heaven RIP Oldcrons

These are some main events you'd want to read up on, after that choose your favourite faction/the faction you find most interesting and read up on them.

Factions:
>Space Marines
>Imperial Guard (IG and SM are both from the Imperium but have vastly different practices)
>Tau
>Eldar
>Dark Eldar
>Chaos (check out each of the 4 gods)
>Tyranids
>Orkz
>Sisters of Battle I guess, I really hate them but they are still a faction

There are also other things you can read up on such as the Inquisition, Adeptus Mechanicus, Grey Knights, Ecclesiarchy, Farsight Enclaves, Fall of the Celestial Lions during Third War for Armageddon, etc. I'm a big Space Marine/Ork fan so I tend to know a bit more about them, but you shouldn't shy away from learning about other factions.

Friendly reminder that Eldar "superiority" amounts little more than being born with negligible psychological strengths that are outclassed by even basic human augmentation, and possessing an intelligence that is used for brooding mysteriously on hilltops and to speak in unnecessarily convoluted prose.
>>
>>336988831
Nope. That's not how any of this works you 40k memer.

Elder Scrolls is a video game universe. If you wanted to discuss the lore of this video game universe, where would you do it? Since it's a video game, you would discuss it on /v/, as it's the only place that would accept it.

Meanwhile, 40k is a shitty table top universe for children. It does have video games, but the lore is from the table top. If you wanted to discuss the video games, you wouldn't do it on /tg/ - Traditional Games. You would discuss video games on /v/ - Video Games. If you wanted to discuss the lore of a traditional game, you would discuss it on /tg/ - Traditional Games.

But just as ponyfags tried long ago, 40kfags will argue anything to get their meme garbage on other boards.

I'm halfway through the first book now. Maybe Abnett forgot he paralysed Eisenhorn's face.

What's a good tactic for Battlefeet GA?

All I end up doing is bunching up my ships in order of speed, direct them at one lone ship, and only step in to trigger abilities and make sure the ships guns are facing the right way.
>>
>>336989049
That's wrong though.
The Eldar are physically superior to humans in pretty much every way, (spesh muhreens are no longer humans) and are all innate psykers, unlike humans. The Eldar move so fast that they seem like blurs to human eyes, have super fast metabolism, are extremely long lived and they also think far faster than humans do, and can feel far greater scope of emotions than humans can.

And that's not even touching the superiority of their technology.

>>336989089
By your logic, you shouldn't discuss the lore of Harry Potter on /tv/ and should keep discussion solely focus on the films at all times.

Except for the /tg/ Elder Scrolls Lore General they have up most of the time, but /tg/ will discuss almost anything.

Anyway I'll keep an eye out for any Witcher lore threads so I can tell them to take their shit to /lit/
