Why are 40k threads always more fun and interesting the less Eldar lore is discussed?
The biggest problem with making an IG shooter is how the fuck would you make that?
In battles against actual imperial enemies like the Eldar or the Orks or the Tau or god forbid the Dark Eldar, the Tyranids or the Necrons, Imperial Guards last a grand total of an hour on the field maybe.
You have five foot something dudes in flack armor and lasers in a world where 8 foot tall super human god machine soldiers bred from the sperm of god aren't even that great in a battle against bigger enemies.
You'd have to make a game where you control an entire platoon, or a game where the moment you die you rapidly change to a new NPC.
That would actually be really cool now I think about it, imagine you get a randomly generated Guardsman or Guardswoman with a randomly generated backstory and family history, you get attached to them and you then have to watch as a Tyranid violently mauls the thing and eats your guard-waifu alive, before the camera whips around to the nearest NPC and thats your new Guard character with their own new backstory, face and family.
>>337333451
Funny, it's the opposite for me.

Which battlefield 2 on xbox did
>>337333451
Because Eldar lore it takes itself way to seriously. There's no dark humor in it, no hypocritical doctrines, no tragically underpowered fodder units. It's dry and painfully dull shit. Anything even approaching those things is woefully half baked.
If you like reading about how Eldar are super old and wise, and how their so powerful, and that they're cool space ninjas that are way better than everyone, then it would probably appeal to you.
But getting through the codexes are just a long slog of "the Eldar are really awesome guise, please take them seriously"
What games give me the full rogue trader experience?
>>337333472
You seem to forget the Imperial Guard are fighting things like the Orks and the Nids all the time, all over the galaxy, and the Imperium is still around. The Imperium Guard may be a lot of normal humans in a galaxy of horrors, but they still do their job damn well, and not just by dying in massive numbers. There are Guardsmen who are action heroes, and survive countless battles and the like, and there are a few Guardsmen companies that are complete and total badasses. I mean look at the Catchan Jungle Fighters, they are just Imperial Guardsmen, but are some of the hardest motherfuckers around, surviving on a motherfucking Death World and fight Orks regularly while wearing even LESS than a normal Guardsmen.
And don't even get me started on the Steel Legion or the Cadians. Sure the average Guardsman is fodder, but don't even think an IG shooter wouldn't be the sickest shit, because theres plenty of material to work with to MAKE it the sickest shit.
>>337333472
When you die, you instantly switch to a new soldier until everyone is dead, like BF2: MC or ArmA.
The gameplay against CSM, for example would be focused on manoeuvring around them to get a shot on a gap in their armour.
>>337333451
Nobody likes discussing the power level of boring space elves with a shit aesthetic.
>>337333989
They are way too arrogant for the position they are in, lose craftworlds all the time. They can't have canon fodder units because of their small numbers, but have the whole dying-race thing going on. Every codex sells their own race like they are the best and the only funny race I can think of are the Orks and the fuck-ups of the Tau.
Though I can see where you are coming from and it all boils down to taste. Personally I get bored to death by reading how 20 mighty and powerful space marines once took a whole planet down because they are so mighty and powerful.
>>337328861

Eldar in a nutshell
>>337334315
I don't disagree anon, I agree a lot.
The reason the only army I ever built and painted is the Imps is because they're so so so much more fucking awesome then nearly all the other factions in the lore, the problem is what makes a guard company good isn't its individuals its how well the company functions as a whole.
A game about a lone guardsmen would suck shit through a straw, the game needs to be about the whole team, their relationship, the skills as a group and should incorperate shit like tank columns and air support.
An IG shooter would be the mother fuckin' tits but I want to see it done right.
Take into consideration we're only just now this year finally getting a 40k FPS in general that looks halfway decent with Space Hulk.
>Every 40k thread has at least one person suggesting a game of about playing guardsmen in a last stand fight.
Nothing sounds more fun than bullet sponge horde mode, am I right?
WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
>>337334315
the perspective is all fucked up in this picture, that sentinel is like the size of a warhound titan.
>>337333472
I think it could work as a survival horror game. A lone special forces guardsmen trying to survive the horrors of invasion from several different factions.
>>337334829
Im an Ork boy myself, but I do like the IG, but again, you could easily have an IG game involving a small company rather than, as so many people suggest "A lone Guardsman in a last stand, hold the line, death is inevitable fight" The majority of IG wars never come to that, because the majority of the time the IG do their job and win a battle. There could be an IG shooter where you follow a single IG as he fucks shit up right proper, like a smaller scale Yarrick. It's true that the company as a whole is what makes the IG great, but a single Guardsman can be a legend as well.
>>337335050
Yeah but guards, hell even Kasrkin are fucking useless on their own, Lasrifles don't do shit unless there is enough of them, though I'd be willing to ignore that oversight in favor of the rule of awesome, if the game does a good job.
Could cut it all out and make it a catachan just so we can have guards strong enough to wield bolters.
Battlefield Gothic nailed the 40K atmosphere very well.

The context of the quote is a planet that has been infested by heresy. All experience tells the Inquisition that you pretty much can't root out Chaos completely once it has taken hold on a planet.

A common misconception stemming from knowing nothing about Eldar. They fucking love fighting to the point that She Who Thirst might eat their soul if they enjoy it too much.

Daily reminder that two Eldar Harlequins slew dozens of Custodes before being captured.
>>337337152
>They fucking love fighting to the point that She Who Thirst might eat their soul if they enjoy it too much.
Which is what happened to the first Striking Scorpion, meaning the Phoenix Lord of the Scorpion Temple is actually the second to walk the path of the Scorpion unlike all the other Lords. There were hints that he went to the Dark Eldar and became the first Incubi but that fluff predates the Deldar getting their long awaited codex so it might not be true any more.
>>337336386
>>337337312
Actual Necron banter.
>>337337378
>>337337257
It's never really been canon that Custodes are super unstoppable badasses though.
It was just generally assumed because you'd think the bodyguards to the Emperor would be the hardest bastards in existence.
Besides, Harlequins (and especially Shadowseers) have always been asskickers on a whole other level.

They are more populace than the Imperium of man, and they don't spend any time brooding and gloomy.
The Orks very existence is outsmarting the Eldar
>>337333472
Why not just a game where you keep scraping by barely managing to survive during a SHTF moment to put the enemies in perspective.
>>337337691
Even Dark Eldar can. Though the process is not really clear to me, which isn't suprising because it's supposed to be a secret, you just need to wander a bit through the webway to maybe find the black library, where the Harlequinns come from. If you can survive their training or not get eaten by Slaanesh, you can become one, but probably never leave this path like an aspect warrior.
>>337337990
Necrons are actually obligated to offer warning and ample time for their enemies before attacking but only to those they consider somewhat worthy.

Keeper of Secrets have the face of Slaanesh when the Keeper was made, and they seek sensations of the highest degree. You have to give them a bit of lee way, because it's kind of hard to weaponize Slaanesh outside of Noise Marines.

But Cegorach protects you from that.
So I don't understand.
Can Necrons feel feelings or what?
They show honour towards enemies in some cases such as
>>337338140
>>337337971
>>337339017
That's not guaranteed.
>>337339035
Newcrons, anon, they now have personalities and, as you said, feelings.
>>337339035
Those under the Silent King are essentially anti-heroes now.
Their purpose is to stop the Tyranids from devouring all life.
>>337339096
Sorry, never read about that. I know that Eldar Solitaire are basically lost to Slaanesh, but Cegorach will fight xir for their soul.
It has been years since I followed any kind of 40K lore.
Are Chaos still doing their black Crusade thing?
I like this part
>>337339017
>But Cegorach protects you from that
Soul stones and infinity circuits can protect you from Slaanesh as well. As can an exodite world spirit.
Being a harlequin would fucking suck. You have to fight all the godamn time, but you can't just switch to another path like a craftworld Eldar can. And you don't get mad pussy and crazy drugs like the Dark Eldar. You basically just go around fighting Chaos sorcerers and sickass daemons.
>>337339282
He'll fight, sure, and his win record is probably good but he can't win them all otherwise the Eldar would have a lot less to worry about when it comes to Slaanesh.

>The complex shape caught at his eye and he found himself staring in fascination, trying to decipher the stylised effigy. It seemed to comprise a withered shape, desiccated and frail. He realised with a frown that it was a gue’la figure, almost corpselike in its aspect. Its great papery head — ringed by serried light rays and lightning bolts, hung in limp necrosis, sallow features wrinkled and bloodless. Around and within the skeletal shape was a stylised machine encrusted with yellow and gold mosaic tiles, a rambling arrangement of clustered cables and bound tubing, puncturing and entombing the body, surrounding it in a metallic embrace.
>The cadaver’s eyes peered down into the candlelit chapel with a great, hollow sadness, filling the chamber with mournful tension
>Was this their god? he wondered. Was this their Great Emperor, stubbornly hoarding the faith of his teeming flock and preventing their rightful acquiescence to the Greater Good?

>No Ork racing game with Orky racing items that has a multiplayer of like fifty players so it's a complete clusterfuck of a race with explosions and chaos everywhere and barely anyone being able to finish the actual race as the racers are too busy trying to krump each other
>>337341715
Have you read the novels?
The bad guy found some ancient ruins with 'magic' words. If you utter them you can affect the physical world in some way. There are words that make you sick and words that push you around. I don't think they had anything to do with the warp.
>>337341715
Chaos Sorcerors aren't psykers, they are using actual, wizards n pointy hats, magic. The problem is magic and sorcery is the realm of Tzeentch, so you're playing a very risky game, where your opponent already knows how it ends.
>>337341214
I read them. If you mean the Unwords, I guess they're just the language of the Warp, they alter the reality of things, all magic is explained in 40k.
>>337328861
yeah, because that would be a really depressing game.
>>337336046
How in the fuck was anyone able to decifer that

There was a failed Gorkamorka game being developed for the Dreamcast but it never saw production.
>>337342747
They are based on Cossacks
>>337328861
>no games centered around the interesting lore
I blame GM thinking only Spess muhrrinees will sell.
That and PG 13 everything so The one who thirsts can't be in fucking anything and that big fucking lumbering asshole Khorne represents all chaos forever
>>337342448
Abnett adds plenty of stuff that don't quite 'fit' with the rest of the setting - it's part of the reason why a lot of his work (like Gaunts Ghosts) goes downhill after a bit. You can tell he just doesn't like certain aspects of the setting and instead does his own thing.
>>337342884
Cossacks + Strelet Army with a pinch of Polish names.

Because IG is fucking boring and is just like any other real army. It's like asking for a storm trooper game. Nobody gives a shit and if people are going to play as the average soldier they usually would rather play as a real one in a real army that really existed.
>>337342887
Good thing GM has pretty much given free run with their liscenses in terms of video games. We just need one hopeful fellows to pop up with games NOT revolving around Space Marines/Imperium shit.
>>337342895
He better let them fight something else than Chaos soon or I will stop buying his books. If you replace a few words some of the Gaunt's Ghosts books could be straight WWII ficition.
>>337339712
Because they are a poor and small studio of 10 nerds paid with hotpockets who sold their kidneys to make a game about 40k. You gotta cut corners somewhere.
>>337343117
>IG is fucking boring and is just like any other real army
>>337343159
Impossible. If there is any Warhammer vidya that doesn't involve Khorne and Sphess marines
I.E give spotlight time to Nurgle and Slaneesh than GW revokes the license.
>>337343159
I'd buy that shit twice just to encourage them to make more of it.
>>337342895
Gaunts Ghosts is set in the Sabbat worlds crusade. He can't just shove in another enemy willy nilly

This gets so fucking idotic that at this point MORE THEN ONCE Khorne sorcerer's have been a thing
KHORNE SORCEERE'S
That and the best chaos god, she who thirsts, is barely featured in anything.
>>337343406
I've only read the first omnibus, but does that actually happen?
>>337337672
>>337343353
Where there is war there are orks. A few ork battles would be nice.
Instead it turned into some special mission shit that would be more fitting to a small band of elite soldiers instead of a whole regiment.

>>337343554
Yeah. In that same book, Gaunt survives a sword fight with a Chaos space marine, right before it's killed by a bunch of tribals with cross bows.
Shit was fucking dumb.
>>337343339
Anon, GW is letting shitty vaporware, phone games and bullshit chess games be official licensed games, they dont give a shit, oddly enough, they are letting pretty much anyone make anything they want, and hoping something sticks well.
I mean look at DoW3, not a inkling of Chaos so far, just Marines, Eldar and Orks.
>>337334089
the tabletop one
>>337343727
what's their rationale?

>not a inkling of Chaos so far, just Marines, Eldar and Orks.
Good.
>>337343554
Yes, though I quite liked the book even if it's a retarded premise.
They later somehow return from that chaos world and want to get back into the regiment and the Inquisition is like: 'hell, no! you guyses were like more than a year on a chaos infested world!' and Gaunt be like: 'lol I'ma do it anyway' and everyone just went with it.
>>337343880
nice meme
>>337343792
For only sending Gaunt and some of the ghosts?
It's because Gaunt was the one who arrested the traitor in the first place (before he joined chaos). He even gets asked by another general why he wants to go and he just says "Because it's him" or some stupid bullshit.
>>337331934
And I really want you to become a millionaire investor because I need those flying red manes and firm asses and sexy screams in my life.

>it blew up
Which one was that? I know they got curb stomped down to 50 marines left in the whole chapter from the Sin of Damnation but if a second fuckup happened I will shit my pants with laughter. Fucking Blood Angels.
Let's make a list of all the things that will never, ever be in a 40K game:
Adeptus Mechanicum (outside background props)
skitarii
Heretek's
Exploritor fleets
Titans
Rogue traders (in every single form)
Demiurg
Diasporex
Glag
Gykon
Kinebranch
Laer
Any of the other minor Xenos races
Any of the unpopular Craftworld eldar
Any regiment of Imperial Guard beside Cadian or Cadian clones
Traitor guard
Non-Codex space marine chapters
Non-popular space marine chapters
Anything PG 13 relating to chaos
Slannesh (outside of noise marines)
Nurgle (apart from a few units in DoW)
Tzeench (does he even have any units in DoW)
Anything to add?
>>337344045
Ratlings and ogryn.
>>337344045
Squats.
>>337344045
>Titans
There was a Titan in Space Marine. Sure it was a background piece/something to find on and around and not being used, but it was still there. Also there's a really shitty mobile game about Knights. And yeah I know knights aren't titans but again, come on.
>>337344190
Ogryn are in Dawn of War.
>>337344190
We got Ogryn in DoW 1. Ratlings is true though
>>337344045
Exodite Eldar. Beastmen, ratlings,squats, Jokaeros.
>>337344257
>>337344264
>Ogryn are in Dawn of War.
Yeah sorry, I was thinking only about future games.
>>337344045
>titans
I could see a Mechwarrior copycat Titan game happening. (Adeptus Mechanicus, Skitarii, Hereteks + Chaos Titans included)
>Explorator
I would KILL for a point and click adventure game like The Dig where you play as an Explorator digging up stuff and studying shit on different worlds.
>>337344279
>squats
HERE WE GO
>>337344257
whole plot of winter assault was also because titan
>>337343798
Oh you'd probably last a good, long life
It would be an absolute shit life, probably made to work a factory on some forge world for 16 hours a day, no off days, and shitty pay. If you're lucky you'll be on some hive city, where you'll work some mindless, subservient bullshit job and swallow smog with every breath. If you're blessed you might get a nice planet, like an agriculture world, or maybe even a pleasure world, somewhere that you probably will never see aliens or warfare because you're in bumfuck nowhere in the galaxy.
Or you'll get conscripted into the IG thanks to your planets Imperial Tithe and spend the rest of your days being screamed at by drill sergeants, captains and commissars, you will probably see a few small bouts, maybe with feral Orks, or subjugating rebellious planets, and then one day you're shipped off to some meat grinder elsewhere, and if you're really lucky, you'll be put on artillery duty, or put on guard duty at the rear lines.
>>337344348
6th ed put them back into the lore alongside furries.
>>337344448Or delight in the pleasures of chaos
Could you bugs bunny an ork and seduce them or at least distract them with tits by dressing up as a girly ork?

>>337344251
>>337344257
>>337344279
>>337344347
Alright, so to add to the list we have:
Ratlings
Squats
Exodite Eldar
Beastmen
Jokaeros
Any other smaller abhuman groupI;m looking at your furries
And to take off:
Titans
>>337344587
>girly ork?
Orks don't have genders. They reproduce by dropping spores.
>>337344448
>choose a mindless, boring and pointless life
or

It may turn out worse for you in the end, but at least you won't be bored.
>>337344537
For about ten minutes before some fat fuck cuts you open as a sacrifice to his new daemonette waifu
>>337344682
That's only a theory as nobody actually knows how they reproduce.
>>337333672
I don't think total war works well enough in a setting with hella guns, compared to fantasy which is basically just medieval europe with spooky shit tacked on.
>>337344682
You know what I mean I thought right would they get distracted it or would you need some dakka to pull it off?
>>337334315
>>337334829
then make a republic commando type game where you control a group of your allies into good positions to fight if you dont they start dying off and morale weakens
>>337337435
Imothek makes galaxy great again
>>337344587
>>337344857
Nah, orks don't have interest in that kind of thing (if they even know what sex is). The only drive orks have is the drive to fight, loot and go fast.
You could distract them with shiny piles of guns/loot. Maybe make a big pile of fake/broken guns, and rig the whole thing with a shitload of explosives.
>>337344764
Chaos is actually a logical choice for someone from Earth finding themselves in 40K.
We know that the chaos powers will never be defeated, and that the Imperium WILL shit down your throat forever if you let it.
Whereas chaos will let you live a decent life, at least for a while.
>>337344829
>that's only a theory
>literally confirmed by the ordo xenos ages ago
>>337334829
I always though in an IG shooter you would play as an regiment instead of a single soldier. If you die you get to control one of your AI buddies (a bit like Operation Flashpoint). If you die too often (for large battlefields) or all your dudes die (for small engagements) you get a Game Over.
>>337345038
>decent life as mindless slave
>will just be used as meat shield like the IG
fuck off m8
>>337344764
Good luck with that anon. Do you know why the vast majority of the Imperium, despite their HORRIBLE SHITTY EXISTANCES havn't outright turned to Chaos?
Because the Imperium does a very good job of hiding that shit. Only the upper echelon of any Imperium force know about Chaos, besides the Astartes. But the average citizen, and even the majority of Guardsmen have no idea that Chaos exists, because Chaos has a funny way of spreading and corrupting by just it's knowledge. Usually any companies of Guardsmen that engage with Chaos forces are put through heavy cleansing, if not outright purging, if they are exposed to the reality of who they are fighting. It's a rarity that anyone in an average Imperium city would come to know of Chaos, and even if they do, if you aren't some poncy noble or planetary governor, the local Arbites will most likely find out what you're doing (cultist shit) and take you in, where you will most likely be imprisoned, if you aren't killed/turned into a servitor/tortured for days on end
>>337345201
What about Cadia?
>>337345138
I feel the touch of the corpse emperor on this post
>>337345201
This is why someone from OUR Earth would likely be involved in chaos; they know about it. That alone makes them far more likely to do it then not to.
That and the arbite thing depends on where you are in the galaxy
>>337345025
That makes me kinda sad anon, but could the orkz pull off a bugs bunny what if they put on the dress and wig instead and tried to sneak into a IG base?
>>337344829
>That's only a theory
A theory that was printed in the 3rd ed Ork codex and then repeated in Xenology which is purposely of highly dubious accuracy but still there.
>>337345038
>Decent life
If you are an extremely rich, powerful and influential man. The average cultist of Chaos has a life expectancy of less than a normal Guardsman and just a bit more than a Gretchin. If you aren't being forced to do torturous, grueling grunt work, you are being tortured for fun, killed for a ritual, tortured for a ritual, or thrown literally in front of gun fire for more important people. But hey, look on the bright side, you will be so batshit insane at that point that you will enjoy being a worthless sack of meat to be toyed with by your superiors and thrown into the fray to soak up enemy ammunition.
>>337345386
>could the orkz pull off a bugs bunny what if they put on the dress and wig instead and tried to sneak into a IG base?
They are brutally kunning.
>best race will never be relevant
;~;
>>337345340
Not your average Imperium world, anon
Cadia has a VERY strict and thorough screening process on their planet, they snuff out Chaos taint faster than anyone else, and even then they are constantly having to put down cults that spring up and cleaning up their Guardsmen companies
>>337345572
They will forever be the 'bad eldar' in the setting.
>>337345572
That's a funny picture of an ork there anon
>>337345386
Of course. Maybe not disguised as human women, but with some clever trickery.
A Kaptin' captured a tau ship once, stole their security codes and used it to invade a refueling base once.
>>337338982
yeah but on the other hand, best morale in the game
>>337345801
>orks
>not relevant
what?
>>337345357
No one seriously wants to be part of Chaos anon. Chaos promises gold, milk and honey, and when you sign up, they stab you in the dick. Only they have pumped your sanity out the window, so getting stabbed in the dick is foreplay. Even people of high status and influence are barely an importance to Chaos, all they are good for is planting the seeds, and then once shit goes down, they are as disposable as everyone else. Chaos doesn't care, Chaos isn't fun, or nice, it isn't comfy or relaxing, it's nightmares ontop of tortures, and if you aren't a fucking Space Marine, you won't be worth a second glance.
>>337345572
>never be relevant
That's how they prefer it, honestly.
Relevancy usually means you end up fighting Tyranids and daemons.
>>337345864

Soul Drinkers.
Fought for Imperium.
Got tricked by Tzeench daemon into rebellion.
Kicked him out.
Mutated a lot.
Became excommunicate.
Roamed galaxy on a space hulk with dwindling numbers.
Got fucked up by necrons.
Dug up dreadnought that turned up to be their ancient war philosopher dude.
Got captured by Imperial Fists.
Found out their primarch is not Rogal Dorn.
Summoned daemons to Phalanx.
Found out that all of this was planned by said dreadnought dude.
Handful of surviving marines escape into warp portal.
>>337345948
>No one seriously wants to be part of Chaos anon
Nah mate that's bullshit.
The Imperium is brutal and uncompromising, perhaps moreso to its own citizens than anyone else. If turning to Chaos is a path to revenge, or justice, or even freedom, then that's the path you choose, because there's no other power in the galaxy strong enough to oppose those loyal to the God-Emperor.
To say that nobody has a legitimate beef with the Imperium isn't anywhere close to being true.
>>337345963
i just want them to do more shenanigans like in the war of dark revelations
