What, exactly, was this guy's hurry?
Look at it this way: You have countless planets out in the black with humans still on them from the glory days. You've decided that it's your right and duty to reunite all of humanity into a glorious, intergalactic empire.
All good so far.
You have made an alliance with techno-wizards and brought a goodly number of nearby planets into your empire. Your military might is so unmatched that you have yet to encounter a civilization that can hold out against your hundreds of billions of troops and genetically enhanced murder-machines. There is NO existential threat to your race other than distant, magical gods that you have decided not to tell anyone about ever because problems go away if you don't talk about them.
You are immortal. Your murderhobos live for centuries. Your population's ability to bump uglies is still working just fine. Your might can only grow.
Now, why the living hell was he in such a damn rush?
To get the Primarchs back?
They're immortal supermen designed to be more powerful than pretty much any foe in the galaxy, they can probably handle their shit regardless of how long you take to show. Or, if they're really that big a priority, put the damn Crusade on hold and devote a few centuries to search and rescue.
Was he afraid that the human populations outside the empire would die or be dominated by xenos?
It's been several thousand years, the worst has basically happened for them. And besides, we regularly see that any planet that isn't perfect for integration is just massacred and re-colonized.
TL;DR
Why did the Emperor have a self imposed time table/limit on his Crusade? An immortal being has zero reason to be impatient, especially after thousands of years of life.
>>43698701
yes
Did he know about the Tyranids?
>>43699539
AFAIK nobody did at that point except maybe the Silent King. Remember the main reason they came to the galaxy is the Astronomicon acting as a beacon to them as well as the astropaths.
>>43698701
>To get the Primarchs back?
Yes.
>They're immortal supermen designed to be more powerful than pretty much any foe in the galaxy, they can probably handle their shit regardless of how long you take to show.
No. A lot of the problems came from the planets they were raised on. Shit, look at Angron. What should've been the ruler of the planet was turned into a bloodthirsty berserkermonster who hated everyone because of where he landed. Just one example, mind you.
>Or, if they're really that big a priority, put the damn Crusade on hold and devote a few centuries to search and rescue.
That's pretty much what he was doing. He needed the Primarchs in place and running his armies as soon as possible because even the Emperor can't be everywhere in the galaxy at once. Remember, one of the reasons for the Imperial Webway was because warp travel was too dangerous and unpredictable for a galaxy-spanning empire to reliably use. With the Primarchs on the front lines fighting his battles for him he could devote all his time into the Webway project.

You'd think the go-to would be some sort of steam-powered chainsaw or something, for the pseudo-high tech theme.

Are there canon examples of Celestines who aren't Luna existing beyond the theoretical level and actually giving Mortals power?
The 'monster builder' rules will be nice. Though I'm guessing it'll just be a version of what was already in Mortal Remains. Maybe they'll put a more clear explanation of ephemera, get rid of that god awful diagram from GMC.
I forget was hunter 2e confirmed a thing? Id be nice just so i dont have to cross reference core, GMC rules update, vigil core, and then mortal remains.
What would have happened if GW decided to base Warhammer off Terry Pratchett instead of Michael Moorcock?
Tis a silly idea

GW made their bones by ripping EVERYBODY off. MM was just one of over a thousand "influences," implicit and explicit, so ...
Oh boy, it's THIS false equivalency thread again.

Here's a much scarier question. What would have happened if GW decided to base Warhammer off Terry Badkind instead of Michael Moorcock?
Combine the last thing you read (other than 4chan) and the last thing you watched and/or played to form your new campaign setting. What do you get?

Rolled 8 (1d100)
Last time Abigail achieved victory and Petyr is now DOOMED! DOOMED I TELL YOU! Too bad he doesn't realize it just yet. Abigail meanwhile is very happy and has already called in the reward...for a future date. A wedding to be precise and is now currently talking with a sister of his fiance who promised to cover the costs as a wedding gift. Petyr meanwhile is catching up with another sister of his and is trying to figure out life to little success.
What do?

So still stuck in the...slice of life period. I am starting wonder where my war edition went or civ for that matter.
Funny how thinks work out...eventually we'll get back to warring.
...eventually.
Preferably sooner rather then later but I am not lucky so its not something I would bet on.

Are Orcs germanic?
>>43690230
During the Roman days, yeah. Rome was never able to conquer their territories because they were a freakishly strong warrior race that knew how to take advantage of their land.
And once Rome lost control of Britannia, the Germans later crossed the waters and unleashed a mass genocide on the people there, raping their women and "colonizing" the island.

No. I'm pretty sure they're from Scottland, actually. Orkney, to be specific.
>>43690577
That article is bullshit, buddy. Hell, even the name is silly, since the English have been referring to themselves as Anglo-Saxon for forever, so Britain's certainly not "more Germanic than it thinks." And the Romans did conquer Germany, by the way.
In answer to OP's question, well, it depends. Tolkien's orcs were not Germanic, at all. They were Asian. Think Mongolian horde.
It would be totally appropriate to make orcs Germanic though, since to the Romans the Germans were the...

Always loved the Sea Guard concept, arrogant elves that shoot you to pieces and then you charge them and they lance you. In this game it can be done without 1+ chaos cavalry raping them.

Oh, they're still probably getting wrecked if something hits them. Any commentary ont he list?
I think we should have a weird story thread. Not inherently ABOUT the game you are telling the story. More about the weird things players or people just in the area of the game that have happened.
Here's one that I feel is always relevant.

4chan, or rather the internet in general. It's a giant hugbox where these people can find others like themselves and convince themselves that the way they are is normal and acceptable and any problems their behavior causes is everyone else's fault... you know, instead of learning from the people around them through real interaction and adapting like most socially healthy people do.
>>43689725
Dude just wants to play the game that he wants to play.
Imagine if you wanted to play DnD, but it was the height of the satantic panic so every time you tried to bring it up or get a game going everyone would get upset and call you a devil worshiper.
My group is thankfully free of pony nonsense, but I won't pretend that I don't understand why the dude would be frustrated. Its got to suck having a hobby that draws that kind of flak, especially since the guy seems to lack social awareness...

It would be like you wanted to play D&D at the height of the satanic panic, only fully one in three D&D games was actually about murdering babies for Satan.
I get why the guy could be put out, but it's really his own fault for wanting to fuck cartoon horses.
