DA BAD MOON CLAN STRAT
>take light crusiers
>take bad moon clan favors for all three
>take a probe skill and 2 taunt skills
>basically use your probe to spot elder plebs and hit them with 3 consecutive lightening strikes from long range
for imperial or chaos fleets
>take one cruiser with da goff clan, and two light cruisers with bad moon
>use the bad moon special ability to cripple runners while your cruiser gets in closer to finish them off
>nova cannon
cant even one hit a transport.
Shit faction
>>335609076
imperial ships are pretty wank unless you upgrade full accuracy detection and range
nova cannons are a meme skill, really you want a fuck ton of lancers and carriers
>>335608458
you can play as orks??? holy shit, sign me right the fuck up!
>>335609287
Hows ramming other ships (excluding humans)
i might go as chaos later
>>335609920
Chaos cannot ram worth shit, their ships are too fragile.
It's only tactically sound atm for Orks and maybe Imperial Navy.
Spess Mahreens will be good at ramming too.
>>335609920
ramming chaos when you can pretty much GG's their ships, ramming elder is nearly impossible due to how many kiting abilities they have
going Goff special favour increases ramming damage by 50%, so using that on your bigger ships is a must
I recommend to any ork player to fully upgrade their frontal cannons and replace the torps, as your main strat will be
>close distance
>fire from front where armor is
>ram when your enemy turns
>auto boarding party
>use light cruisers to long range teleport boarding parties
you want one heavy ship and at least two light cruisers, if you cant afford two a heavy and two light cruisers just downgrade and go for 2 light cruisers or 2 lights and a ton of escorts; what your damage will be in is boarding parties and rams, and having a slower cruiser and higher justv allows the enemy to kite you
against imperials
>their ships cant run
>rammed and killed
orks
>ork clash, war of attrition, rams do nothing
chaos
>kiting galore, but slower then elder so you'll be able to chase them down and kill em
elder
>kiting, almost impossible to beat unless you spam taunt or your boarding party's get lucky
>their phase cannon spam and teleport ability to ridiculous
>either get a cruiser with a prow gun or use the big red button to get into closing speed followed by a taunt and a boarding party, hope the boarding parties fuck up the enemy's weapon and engines
>continue trying to survive the kite
orks are a very RNG centric faction, with their weapons damage halving and doubling at random, and their main weapon (boarding parties) hinging on rng
>>335609920
Anyone can ram eldar, if you can catch them. Their ships are made of aluminum foil.
>>335610595
>>335610487
thanks nig
yeah i noticed in SP that orks are pretty rng
>>335611054
>catching an experienced smelldar player
they literally roll their biggest ship, spam phaser then run the fuck off, wait for their cool down to finish and begin again
elder are like the Parthians of 40k
>>335608179
the crashing is killing me guise how to fix it?
went from no crashes at all yesterday to 3 ctds and a bug that makes my camera fly away from the battle. i really like this game but these bugs are killing it for me.
Are there any mods yet that let you increase the scroll out distance?
>>335612558
Get the working crack, pirate-scum.
why does no one streams this game?!?
>>335612884
apparently it's amd drivers and whenever some one uses a plasma bomb/ stasis shell it's 50/50 on whether you crash
>>335608179
Best faction to fight against?
I personally love fighting against imperial players
>those broadsides
>those tanky vessels that can prolong and engagement
>enough manoeuvre to avoid my rams but not enough to kite me
>literally 3 minutes of broadside action with 2-3 boarding's
also, the orks song is great against elder and chaos when you use the heavier ships, it collapses their detection range so they cant fire at you unless they get real close, and you can then turbo charge them before they have a chance to dodge
I wish I saw those ork players face when my Nurgle Chaos cruisers suddenly ram their asses.
>>335616382
does nurgle make close range chaos viable?
don't get me wrong, having nurgle fleets damage me when I ram them is a bitch, but usually I have a fuckton of health and the damage trade off still negates the hassle
what's slaneesh's ability?
>tfw computer can't run it
Is there any other game based on Battlefleet Gothic
>>335616529
Stackable increased chance for enemy vessels within 7500 units to mutiny.
>>335616529
Not really. I still try to stay away with my ships, but if the ork players uses traktor beams other things that fuck up my distance, I start using my ships good manouvering, so I can ram their asses. It still does good amount of damage.
>>335615229
I spam them as fuck, have AMD and nothing happened.
>>335616690
doesn't seem worth it really then, I was hoping for dank slaanesh abilities like turning an enemy against their own team for a short time
>>335616834
yeah orks have some pretty good range closers at high level, and a lot of range deniers as well to stop players sniping them before they get into range
How should I spec out my campaign fleet? Nova Cannons were a waste of fucking time.
>>335617287
Macro cannons. Macro cannons everywhere. And upgrades for them. Not that range extender though, all the others. None of my ships have bombers or that shit and I'm doing great.
>>335616685
There's a true turn-based one coming out soon.
It looks like a mobile game, though.
>>335617287
I went for brawlers with the most macro cannons
I didn't feel cruisers or any special skills were worth it due to the ai usually being pretty brawly, so just take tank upgrades
It crashes because I'm a poorfag pirate, is it any good at least?
would this game be fun for someone who knows nothing about the lore?
>>335617515
>>335617473
Gonna have to restart, then. For the upgrades, I should get AP and the accuracy increase?
>>335617704
40k lore is pretty ez to get into and tons of fun.
Every faction is so over the top it's impossible not to love them all.
>>335617574
If it gives any consolation, it crashes for me too now after that new patch from Steam. 20 hours without any crashes, then suddenly after patch constantly. And yeah, its a great game.
>>335617704
Yeah, why not? WH40k lore is fun shit.
>>335617574
Get a proper crack you moron.
I swear to god some retards just download a torrent, click install and fuck off without reading anything.
>>335608458
Just picked the game up, pls give more Ork tips and strats
>>335617832
Yeah, both those upgrades are good. And can't you just switch the upgrades you taken already without restarting.
>>335617997
all heavy kannons always, goff clan for the +2 boarding action, taunt and microjump on every ship, taunt, ram, board, win.
>>335617997
You can't really go dakka in this game as orks since everything will kite you, you need to be the kunning ork this time.
So flank, be sneaky and abuse taunt and traktors.
>>335618021
You can but it costs requisition. And if you replace ships, you lose all the upgrades and you have to buy them again. So at this stage, I'm better off just restarting.
>>335608179
THIS WAS YOUR LAST CHANCE CAPTAIN
>>335618118
So its closing distance, boarding actions to hope rng ork gods knock out something good, whats taunt do in this game?
>>335617863
>Every faction is so over the top it's impossible not to love them all.
Except the Tau
>>335618454
Forces an enemy ship to attack you. It's great if you want to divert the enemy's attention. I sometimes use it in combination with ramming or torpedo.
>>335617997
you want heavy kanonz and give up the torps
you want to always have the enemy in front of you, fuck broadsiding until your in range to board
for light cruisers go for the long range boarding favour for all of them, and a grot rocket/ taunt combo
for cruisers and higher, use ork song to mess up chaos and elder fags trying to long range shoot you (turbo into ork song range, use it, laugh as they no longer can plink your ork cruiser and heavy cruisers)
for upgrades, go for extra hull armor, and increased zap cannon crits (need to disable those engines brah)
make sure to use taunt of elder fags to keep their ships in place
current strat
>long range teleport attacks via rocket grot recons
>turbo into ork song range
>go straight for a ram/ boarding after wards
>go for quicker skill reload ability
>hit a health potion if your low now
>maintain close distance and keep alternating from frontal fire to rams to boarding parties
>use taunt if the bigger ships keep kiting you to hold them in place
carriers are worthless as orks, dump them for extra gunz
I only recommend the +2 boarding skill for cruisers and higher, use the long range lightening strike favour instead for the light cruisers to hopefully damage elder and chaos fags at long range and force them to come towards you (I literally camp sometimes and wait for that ability to cool down and follow through with a recon pod to spot them. It forces them to come to you and is an absolute must)
Since the release I keep getting annoying bugs and crashes making the game complety unplayable such as unclickable abilities, mouse suddenly disappearing or just recently the camera going full crazy and going complety black.
>>335618448
why is no one posting dank action pics?
>>335618454
Forces them to attack however they have their engagement options set up.
It's devastating to use with ram/boarding torps, and plasma bomb spam. Also Eldar, who all engage with their prow, will just fly right into you when you taunt them. Taunting an Eldar ship is a free ram kill
>>335618492
Fuck off, autist.
>>335619176
Best upgrade for imps
>>335618454
boarding for da delicious RNG
>one time cripple an enemy's engines, guns and generator in one boarding party
>his right side guns are completely destroyed
>he doesn't realise and try's to kite me for a solid minute or so
>eventually turns the other side
>too late, another boarding torpedo and he's stuck in the water
>ram for dat delicious kill
>other time
>send 3 different boarding parties into one ship
>followed by 3 long range lightening strikes
>lol only 2 damaged weapons get fucked ork fag
but ramming those big heavy cruisers when they try to warp out almost makes up for the RNG
>>335619534
It's objectively the worst, though.
>>335617287
I love the mars class battlecruisers. My ideal fleet has 2 of them. I'll get them in close to an enemy ship for macro broadsides and bombing runs. I use the Nova cannons to either knock out shields before they get in range, or harass additional enemy ships incoming to the fight.
>>335619534
nah best is blood angels, great for cancelling warps when ai try's to flee on assassination or data missions
So how do I not lose in high point games against Eldar, where he just has his 3 biggest ships, with pulsar range upgrades.
>>335620549
You don't. Voidstalkers are unbeatable.
Can someone explain what I did wrong during my campaign? I lost only two missions during all these turns, both were those forced planetary assaults. I just managed to ally with Eldar. If I press next turn, campaign is lost, presumably because all 50 worlds were lost. I don't understand though. I won everything except those two missions. Even had 3 deployments during my turns.
I just don't get it. What were I supposed to do?
>>335620549
camp in clouds
spam recon probes
spam ork song
spam long range lightening strike
you just force the fagdar to get into shooting range
>>335620671
....how?
you did realise you could deploy more then once per turn right?
>>335620918
Like I said, I had 3 deployments during my game in most of my turns and I used them all and won them all, except those. Thats why I don't get it.
>>335621008
RNG?
t-b-h I wish there were larger fleet battles like 12 vs 12
>>335621008
except those two planetary assaults*
I'm getting bored of troop bombardment missions.
300 points. They have double the amount of mine. The bombardment points are out of range every single time. Light Cruisers, even with +25 speed upgrade, can't reach most of them, even with max full throttle.
Dunno what to do. I hate them.
>>335621094
Really feels like RNG. I even tried to focus to targets that had more than one bonus conditions or just one sector. Worlds were lost too fast nevertheless.
Lost my interest to play this campaign again because of this. I had fun as hell with my fleet, but thats it I guess. Gonna just do skirmish now or something.
>>335615229
i dont have amd anything and i just had that gay zoom out thing happen with no bombs going off. i hope they can get a hotfix out or something soon.
>>335621329
>>335621329
just gotta spread out
if that faisl, try and kill the enemy fleet instead, as that also counts as a win if they all die/warp out
you don't need to kill the defence posts either
>>335622389
They seem to be vastly superior to me. I don't think I have enough damage to be able to kill them all. The randomness of where the bombardment spot is what's killing me.
>>335622689
it's RNG as well
just gotta spread out with cruisers, one for each side of the map, and a tank for the centre
>>335608179
Whats the most fun way to play imperials?
>>335609076
Imperials are supposed to stay close in formation and force the enemy to come to them and get blown up coupled with close range brawling and ramming. Make a phalanx blast them with nova cannons with reload and auto deploy for the cannons. When they get close you brawl them to death with assault pods and macro cannons + ramming.
So I don't know shit about warhammer or 40k or whatever the fuck this is and I suck shit as RTS should I buy this game?
>patch comes out
>think the game might finally be playable
>queue up
>opponent is speaking Russian
>3 sec delay on all actions
Jesus fuck. These people are so incompetent it blows my mind.
>>335620671
Your campaign is fucked. Restart.
>>335609076
Stop shooting it at max range you faggot. The close to the ship the smaller the scatter.
>>335623424
here
The game is really really fun. It's easy to play and hard to master, but there's so many ridiculous bugs and lacking features every game has had for the past 10 years it makes you wonder if the dev team was frozen in the 90's or some shit

>>335619002

It is mechanically exactly the same ability as the terminator lightning strike Imperial Navy gets.
>>335623906
0/10.
>FAGGY ELFDERP cannot even name his ships . that lore wise are like a million years old each. Crewed by the souls of millenia of derpdar's dead.
>>335624875
the difference being how the fagdar can then sprint to the other side of the map after doing it and puking out some phasers for good measure
>>335619648
You meant imperial fists yes?
Cos bloody retards aren't in this.
More like Battlebugs Gothic
I have no idea what i'm doing but i really like how the broadside fights feel and those little sword escorts are fun.
>>335622939
I'll try it, but it never seems to work.
>>335625682
I like it. Good one anon.
Or or!

>>335626204
>replying to baiters even ironically
Way to give him a (you) idiot, now he's never going to leave.
>>335608179
How complex is this game? I suck balls at most space RTS games, like Homeworld, because I can't manage everything at once. I love 40k stuff so I really want to try this out.
There should be something like this about Warhammer games both Fantasy and 40K.
>>335620671
Has to be a bug or rng.
>>335626851
You never control TOO many ships and each of them are somewhat specialized in what they are meant to do so you can never be too confused or busy, and you get a little time to plan ahead so you can always be prepared.
>>335620671
Nigga wat
>>335626851
think empire total war naval battles but with abilities and field of view
you can turn most your abilities to auto to reduce micromanage
really it's about manoeuvring, ranging, ramming etc etc, not to hard to understand and each faction has more/less micro
if you want little micro go imperials or orks
for lots of micro go elder
chaos for inbetween
>>335626851
It's pretty tough, but luckily you only have to control 3 to 6 ships.
Idk, you could always refund it and go back to call of sesame street.
>>335626851
What kind of Space Marine is that anyway
>>335626851
You can slow time by pressing space.
Nothing is more satisfying than watching heretics and xenos eat torpedoes or ramming them in slow motion.
>>335608179
Cheapest place to buy this? I love space battles since i watched Uchuu Senkan Yamato.
>>335627075
There's no need for that considering you can just download a gog version of old warhammer games and they work fine.
>>335608179

He's got the "I" of the Inquisition, so either a Gray Knight or an Inquisitor in power armor.
>pick chaos thinking they'll be badass at boarding and brutal ramming
>discover they are a long range faction
What in the actual fuck is the reasoning behind this?
>>335627705
Are there actual boarding parties in this? I get a boner for that in games for some reason, but it seems so rare.
>>335627281
>>335627606
i think it's a chaplain tbqh
>>335627837
Yes, they're not really anything you can see other than weapons exploding on ships that have been boarded and some boarding parties yelling shit.

What's the patch today about, anyway?

Anywhere else you gotta pay for them.

>>335629085
Yeah, that's black. The armor in the other picture doesn't look like that. Either way this argument just proves how autistic I am.
>>335629092
Except that poster is a flufffag.
In lore / fluff nova cannon are stupidly rare and stupidly op.
Iirc in one bit of fiction an IoM flagship utterly cripples a chaos flagship that outweighs it by a shitton.
>Boarding Success!
>tfw you catch the Battleship owned by the Champion of Slaanesh between two 6 torpedo spreads from either side at nearly point blank range while they are getting hit by 2 Bomber waves

>>335629567
This. In the Fluff those Nova cannons are ridiculously powerful, like, if you shot one at a planet you'd flatten half a continent all in one go. They are capable of instantly destroying anything in the light cruiser class and below, and their blast radius in space is enormous.
Of course, that wouldn't even slightly make sense from a fun and balanced gameplay perspective, so you know. There's that.
>>335632745
It has to be noted that the fluff in 40k is very heavily decided by each individual writer. The Black Library authors have a huge amount of leeway with what they can do. So, fluff needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Do most people here play single player or multiplayer?
>>335633736
played up to level 8 during the beta, now enjoying the campaign and will plan to level another admiral in multi, deleting my old one now that I have at least half a clue of what I'm doing and what I need to purchase.
Why is EVERYONE who plays Chaos the biggest fucking shitter in this game?
What about the faction just attracts so many bad people
Im fucking trash at RTS games but really interested in this game. I've heard its more of small skirmishes and less micro bullshit. How are the plague fleets?
>>335633736
I haven't touched multiplayer
>>335634242
I leave every time I see Chaos on my team in a 2v2 at this point.
Space Hulk when?
>>335632745
>if I fixate on the mean name he called me I can dismiss everything else he said, meaning I win!
PS4 port when?
>>335634242
It's fucking Chaos. What did you expect?
>>335634242
What's wrong with the Chaos faction in this game? Is kiting too weak?
>>335635425
chaos are fine and all but in 2v2 when you are orks or imperials it usually means you're going to fight a 1v2 instead while the chaos fag flies around 12km+ away from the fight.
>>335635159
I hope you're just trying to start shit and don't actually think this game could be played with a gamepad.
>>335635425
99% of Chaos players are utter shit and any time you have them on your team it's 1v2 and then they'll just talk shit about you after you die while they float around 15k away and tickle the enemy shields with their lances because they were too fucking stupid to think of utilizing any of Chaos' amazing synergys with favors and ordnance
>>335635584I-I do not have a powerful PC.
>>335635861
They too stupid to make kill fields while chain taunting the biggest baddest enemy ship to death.
>>335635902
Well... the devs didn't say they weren't making a PS4 port so...
http://www.onlysp.com/battlefleet-gothic-armada-could-eventually-come-to-consoles/
All you have to go off of is that they didn't say they weren't going to do it but the controls would be incredibly difficult ot manamge on a gamepad and I don't think there are enough buttons for it.
If they totally redid everything than maybe it could work but probably not.
What is the downside of not having a adequate CPU? everythin else is fine
>>335637486
Define adequate, if it's below minimum requirements it shouldn't even run.
>tfw suck at RTS games
>play 2v2
>realize I'm probably in the top 10% of players in this fucking game
It's honestly baffling how bad the majority is in this game.
>Game runs fine on High settings
>Cutscene starts

>Lagging image crawl
>Mission starts
>Runs fine again
I don't even.
>>335637942
If I'm able to consistently kick the hard AI's ass with little to no losses do you think I'd stand a chance against people online? I've been avoiding it because I'm a pussy.

It does not meet the recommended, minimum is fine, everything else meets recommended. would it have annoying lag spikes or somethin?
>>335638118
Yes
>>335638118
Absolutely.
The average player is fucking retarded levels awful.
so is this like homeworld?
Damocles expansion with Tau campaign when?

I got this game as a gift from a friend, but I'm not sure what the hell am I doing. It's kinda hard to micromanage in the escort missions.

They were built before the Imperium went Full Retard and as such are designed to, you know, shoot other ships with their guns instead of headbutt them, and also the fact that they're antiques that have only received maintenance from the kind of guys who think hull breaches are hilarious for the past few millennia doesn't help their durability either.
>>335638118
Yes. The AI efficiently micros all of its ships on all difficulties.
I think the only differences between the difficulty settings is how badly outclassed you are on points.
It seems that the only other diffs. Are normal game devs things like enemy getting more hull etc...
So if you murder Hard AI you'll anally devastate the majority of the player base.
>>335640546
Y-you too.
>>335640139
you are aware that the adeptus astartes don't worship the emperor as a god either, right?
to them, he is just the pinnacle of what mankind can achieve, only the ecclesiarchy believes that not venerating the immortal emperor as a god is heretical.they have fought astartes many times because of this
>>335640698
Hold up son, I'm just a fucking grunt. Stop using big ass words with me.
Don't make me make you die for the Emperor.
>>335640580
Or heretek's that think radiation shielding and enginarium safety protocols are silly newfangled inventions of stupid people.
Or Heretek's that believe carving more skulls and spikes into the corridors is a better use of their time than making sure the airgates and decompression bulkheads actually work at all.
>>335640865
read your lore more, guardsmen are the exact same way, they don't worship the emperor as a god either
>>335640960
>>335640698
So the Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy are massive fucking heretics?
>>335640698
>>335640960
They're kind of a in a weird fucking spot where the Emperor clearly forbade them from worshiping him as a god and people still kind of remember that fact but at the same time he is basically a god and the savior of mankind
>>335640960
>doyouevenBlackLibrary.jpg
Any Imperial Guardsman who said anything even remotely in the vicinity of reduction of the God Emporer from Supreme Divinity would be tortured to death as a heretic. By the commisariat, ecclesiarchy, inquisition or all of them together.
>>335641212
No . the Imperial Truth of the great crusades eras has been repudiated and the once outlawed Levitico Divinatus has become accepted as fact ever since the Heresy.
>>335641315

>>335641131
>>335641212
>>335641315
Guys, I'm just here to die for the Emperor. The contract said that's my job. Why do you have to try to stuff my brain with this "knowledge" shit.
Does anyone know what the different AI difficulty settings actually change?
>>335641562
people like to pretend it wasn't written by the guy directly responsible for the Horus Heresy
>>335641623
Because apparently, everyone in the Imperium but the Emperor is dumb as a lobotomized Ork.
>>335641743
It wasn't. It was written in bits and pieces by all sorts of remembrancers in secret. Even Horus wouldn't want that shit around.
>>335641962
well the Emperor is literally lobotomized now, so I don't think he's much better
he's basically just lighthouse now
>>335642009
I thought it was mostly just written by Lorgar
Why hasn't anyone thought of inventing non-warp based FTL drives?
>>335629567
It's mentioned in one of the IG books that 2 Nova Cannon shots are enough to sink the Terminus Est. First shot was a miss, second shot went through the shields, destroyed the generators with the overload, and took a big chunk of the hull with it. Third shot was never fired and destroyed its user with the backlash.
>>335642247
>Why hasn't anyone thought of inventing non-warp based FTL drives?
Necrons?
>>335642247
I don't think any of the factions have the capacity to make it.
>Imps
Don't really advance in tech at all and actually forget how to make old shit like the actual spaceships.
>Chaos
Everything they use is an older imperial ship so they have nothing new
>Orks
Why would they want to not use the warp? There's fights in there.
>Eldar
They have the webway, no reason for them to spend their very limited resources on a totally different means of fast space travel
>>335642247
a bunch of different people have come up with FTL drives that don't require you to actually head fully into the warp and get eaten by daemons.
The Tau just skim it and never actually fully go into it. And the Webway, while technically in the warp, was at one point essentially totally safe and free from all the fuckery that makes Warp travel a nightmare. Then the Eldar managed to fuck and suck Slaanesh into existence and he ripped a big fucking hole in it and let all the daemons in and ruined a big chunk of it, and later when the Emperor went in to try and fix it up so humans could use it Magnus ripped another big fucking hole in it and let even more daemons in so now it's only marginally less shitty than the rest of the warp.
Has anyone of you played Star Wars Empire at War?
How close its the gameplay between these two?(space battles obviously).
I really liked the former space battles , am I going to enjoy 40k one?(Im not a HUGE fan of 40k universe, but ive played Dawn of war, winter and dark crusade and enjoyed the universe).
>>335643029
EaW spacebattles are more simplistic.
It also doesn't have resource collection/build queues in game.
Positioning is more important.
>>335643210
hm... Is there a big map like EaW(bigger strategy game) or its just "small map" missions? Like warcraft III or starcraft or CeC generals?
>>335641743
>>335642009
>>335641962
So, do I worship the Emperor, or not worship the Emperor.
>>335644202
>NOT WORSHIPPING THE MAN-EMPEROR OF MANKIND
>>335644202
Worship him a lot when there's someone from the Ecclesiarchy around, a medium amount when someone from the Inquisition or the Commissariat is around, a little when none of them are around, and never mention him at all around someone from the Mechanicus because they'll spend days talking your fucking ears off about how he's actually a secret robot
>>335644202
>So, do I worship the Emperor, or not worship the Emperor.
Think carefully before you answer, anon.
>>335643029
Imagine EaW space combat. But prettier and awesomer.
And harder.
This is bfga

Are you suggesting that you're unwilling to give your life for the Emperor and the good of Mankind?
>>335644667
hm... good to know...
In your opinion, is it more enjoyable ?
>>335644864
Uh, uh, no of course not.
It's better to die for the Emperor than to live in failure or whatever.
>>335645042
Now you're learning.
>>335645146
be careful not learn too much though
>>335645024
Hells yes.
O
If you start to get swamped by micro-ing. You just hit spacebar and you get plenty of time to pull off all the neat tactics you want.
>>335645146
>>335645208
Yes Sir(s)
Remember if you give your life to the Emperor you might get the chance to fight with one of these cuties one day.
>>335645250
Thx anon, good to know... good to know...
>>335645146
Will the he ever be healed and lead us again in glorious conquest?

Generally it's decently big. I'm never pressed for space.
Is there any sort of viable strategy to chaos outside spamming fighters and bombers?

How come I've never seen even a single picture of human civilians from 40K? Is there any book or something that deals with the life of your every day man of the Imperium that is mostly untouched by war?
>>335648028
That portrait is pretty cyberpunkish for 40K.
>>335650561
Mostly depend of it's location and planet governor.
Governors are free to rule however they see fit, so you could end up in a planet ruled by a Kim Jong Il on steroid or a planet that's actually quite decent to live in.
>>335650561
They don't really go that in-depth.

Think about the world today.
now kill about 95% of the population, destroy all satellites and under water cables. and keep all groups of survivors isolated from one another for a couple generations.
Now ask that 3rd generation to genetically splice two organisms together, build a nuclear powerplant or create a smart phone.
Now put them in a situation where they don't have time to spend fucking around with technology because every day they need to worry about survival.
That's why.

There were surgeons in the Roman Empire that would sew the blood vessels of gladiators shut to keep them from dying.
This technique was rediscovered in the 1800's.
Civilizations that provide safety and stability are the only ones that can specialize. If everyone has to worry about starving to death or getting buttfucked by raiders, they are worrying a lot less about how to build a better microwave oven.
