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.
>>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?

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.

There was a failed Gorkamorka game being developed for the Dreamcast but it never saw production.

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.

>>337343406
I've only read the first omnibus, but does that actually happen?
>>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.

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

>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

>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

And to take off:
Titans

>>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.

>>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

The 40k galaxy is rotting, and everythings going to be destroyed possibly as soon as the second the clock hits the 41 millennium.
You can't win against chaos. You can't fight it, you can only join it. Joining it is only an illusion as well, you were always in it, you were just ignoring it.
In the actual grimdark setting, its maybe the one escape from the crushing tyrrany of the Imperium. If you only read Blacklibrary, maybe you could be right, but down to its heart, chaos is a legitimate choice in 40k, not some misfortune.

>>337346238
I never said the Imperium is good, but Chaos is worse. Sure you can turn to Chaos for revenge, justice, or freedom, but do you know what it ends up being? Slavery, slavery to laughing gods who could not care an ounce for your existence. The instant you let them in they take your mind and turn it inside out, they break whatever was inside you and make you a husk full of madness. There is no revenge in Chaos, no justice and certainly no freedom. Sure the Imperium is brutal, tyrannical and horrifying to a massive degree, but at least there, if you aren't a criminal, you get to retain your self. The moment you choose Chaos you abandon who you are, because the gods dont care who you are, they only care that you are theres to do with however they please.
>just finished a 2 hour game of Apocalypse

>There is no revenge in Chaos
You should read this.
>>337346661
Really? There isn't much happening besides the attack on that ork wall and then the attack to reclaim the Baneblade.
I remember most of the book being mostly about 'the fucking sand is getting in muh pee hole again'
>>337346662
Noise Marines will be a elite class in eternal crusade, but pipe down because they're still finishing up eldar and orks before adding everything else.
>>337346484
But it's not. You are literally surrendering your identity, your sanity, your very self, to a bunch of assholes who could NOT give less of a shit about you. I mean, if you think being turned into a frothing, chittering nutjob who will peel his skin off and use his own blood to draw a ritual circle so he can sacrifice himself to give some other guy more power for literally no reason other than you were one of the first cultists he saw, is a fortunate fate, then sure, you're right. I, on the other hand, think a life of madness, blood and agony is quite unfortunate.
>>337346662

Best quotes in the game. I think the only memorable ones in the sequel, actually, maybe because they're made with one of the old voice actors of the first

No one is actually hype for it, are they? It looks like something that will crash and burn and ultimately be forgotten.
>>337346693
You can customize your knight on the freeblade game (that is surprisingly not shit), and there is the dreadnought mode on space marine (although there are very few people playing the online modes anymore).
>>337346814
Being a Chaos Marine is different from being a regular cultist. If you are a Chaos Marine, sure, you have a shot at doing some sick shit. If you are a cultist, you will forget immediately about your revenge, because you are no longer a sane individual.

>The instant you let them in they take your mind and turn it inside out, they break whatever was inside you and make you a husk full of madness
Maybe for the vast majority of cases, but that doesn't deny the fact that Chaos is a road to real power.
Plenty of people use the blessings of the dark gods, warp sorcery and forbidden lore to get what they want.
If what you're saying was always true, there wouldn't be any guys like Ahriman. Shit, there wouldn't be any guys like Abaddon.
>>337346935
THINGS SHALL GET LOUD NOW

>>337346974
>Being a Chaos Marine is different from being a regular cultist.
>half the book is actually about playing as non-CSM heretics
You really should download a pdf. A lot of the lore in there is worth a read.
99% of the people who ally with Chaos come to a bad end - but if you could be part of that 1% that endures all the terrible shit, achieves real power, and manages to hurt the Imperium, even a tiny bit, wouldn't that be worth it?

>Want to join the forces of Chaos

>Nurgle makes your bolters shoot AIDS

>>337347027
Again, you are speaking from the perspective of people who actually matter to Chaos due to them being strong already. You are no a Space Marine, you are not Abaddon, you are not worth anything to Chaos. You are a simple man who has surrendered himself to dark powers, you will amount to nothing but a bullet wall, at best case, at worst, you will be slaughtered by someone actually in charge. Sure, you may get lucky, you may get thrown a bone and be given some forbidden secret, or a taste of power, but you know what that will amount to? Nothing, it will be just that, a taste, a little tease, and you will either die from the exposure, mutate into something horrifying, sacrificed to someone better who wants that power, or just returned to a worthless gibbering cultist, because the Chaos gods like to fuck with people, for no reason.
You are not worth anything to them. You will not be a berserker of Khorne, you will not be a Plague Marine, you will not be a Noise Marine, you will not be a Sorceror, you will never attain Daemonhood. You will be meat to grease the treads of the Chaos war machine.
>>337347359
Why would it be worth it? You gave yourself up to dark gods to escape the Imperium, then endured even more horrible shit for an inkling of power, so you can turn around and hurt the people who are going through the same shit you tried to get away from? If thats your big dream, if thats what you tortured yourself to achieve power for, then it's no wonder you would want to side with Chaos, you were already a horrible person to begin with.

The reason people fall to Chaos isn't because of the benefits, it's because Chaos sinks into your brain and corrupts it, so when they offer you the very obviously bad deal, you take it, because you are already tainted. Thats literally how it fucking works. Humans dont fall to Chaos because they are retarded, they fall to Chaos because Chaos is a fucking infection.
>>337347735
>A insignificant mortal worm having any chance in any life time of becoming a fucking Daemon Prince
I'd laugh if it wasn't so pathetic.

He's not even pretending anymore
>>337347834
But Iron Warriors are barely Chaos, they even replace mutations with bionics. They are just bitter cunts that are still mad after 10000 year that daddy didn't love them
>>337347912
Sure, if you can somehow contact them without the Inquisition or the Arbites stopping you. Also you should live pretty close to their empire, since I guess that not all imperial citizens can afford to cross the galaxy if it-s not some organized pilgrimage
Can Tyranids fall to Chaos?
I think I would rather have Chaos Tyranids over Chaos Space Marines.
>>337348073
>But Iron Warriors are barely Chaos
They seem to enjoy the Obliterator Virus. They're Chaotic, they just prefer it in forms more pleasing to their metal lust.
>>337348169
they dont have souls so no, however it doesnt stop them being corrupted by chaos ala nurgle plague
>>337347909
Sure, most every Chaos follower is going to get fucked. Most of them are going to die horribly and never attain any sort of power or influence. But if you have absolutely no other chance to challenge the might of the Imperium other than to swear yourself to the Ruinous Powers, you're gonna take it.
And some mortals actually end up doing something of note. So saying shit like "you can't become a daemon prince, never ever ever" is demonstrably untrue. Are the vast majority of them Primarchs and Space Marines? Absolutely. But not all of them are.
>>337347834
>Challenge
You're not a challenge, anon, you aren't even a speed bump. At best you're that fly that hits the windshield instead of the bumper. No amount of Guardsmen you may be able to slay will matter to the Imperium, you won't be able to effect the people that are in charge of the whole mess, all you'd be doing is dying on a muddy battlefield after a stray lasgun shot blasts through your sternum and some new Guardsman recruit rams his bayonet in your guts forty times to make sure you're really dead.

If you were somehow able to travel somewhere within the Tau's influence spheres and not get killed by Imperium forces, or caught in a battle as the Imperium tries to reclaim their worlds, or...you know even get off the planet you're on to begin with. If you're able to get past all that, then yes, the Tau Empire is a very good choice to join (personally I'd go for the Farsight Enclave if anything) I mean you're still living in an oppressive empire, it's just a lot more subtle about it.
>>337348487
There are, but you'd have to be some kind of near superhuman anyway to stay alive in the backstabbing orgy that is a chaos cult and attract the attention of the Gods while also not succumbing to mutations

Claws and barbed dicks are nice, but becoming a gibbering Chaos Spawn that vomits itself as a way of locomotion would be kind of detrimental in your quest to daemonhood
>>337348932

>>337348269
Do become a Daemon Prince, you have to be so fucking AMAZING at your job as a servant that the Gods are like "Hey, you're pretty cool" and impose a fraction of their power onto you. Were not talking killing a few hundred Guardsmen, or even killing a couple Space Marines, were talking YEARS of service, where your regular body count is in the BILLIONS, you have to go up against the greatest of the greatest enemies, command the darkest of secrets, present the most fantastic displays of skill, or spread your deities influence far and fucking wide. These are champions of Chaos were talking about. The Daemon Princes who aren't Space Marines or Primarchs have been around BEFORE the Primarchs. So if you honestly think any average human has a chance in hell of becoming a Daemon Prince, you are seriously off your rocker.
If you're lucky you'll end up a mutated horror show, at least then you'll be stronger than a normal human.

If you want to hurt the Imperium and join Chaos but be something more than a fuckslave, the best way is probably to organize another gangbang like the Eldar did and hope Slaanesh notices.

>>337349452
Your point is that no regular human can attain daemonhood when they have to compete with Space Marines and Primarchs, and all the daemon princes that were once mortals originated from a time when there were no Space Marines.
I just linked you to one that disproves that point entirely. And not only that, it defied your assertion that you need to do something incredible to get daemonhood. All that guy did was turn one planet away from the rule of the Imperium and Nurgle made him a daemon prince.
So first it was
>no mortal can become a daemon prince
to
>no mortal can become a daemon prince now that space marines are a thing
So where are those goal posts going to end up next?
>>337328861
>No game centered on being a regular guy in a universe full of super soldiers and nightmarish horrors.
You're right, wish we had a proper COD reskin of 40k.
>>337349689
>Why was Kharn so crazy?
He became the true champion of Khorne - even Angron failed to realize that real and unending rage means you kill indiscriminately.
>>337349696
You have to go above and beyond what your god wants to become a Daemon Prince.
Maybe if he made like, a planet sized axe, and used it to decapitate an entire system he would get promoted.
>>337349794
Holy shit nigga, I never said a normal mortal could never become a Daemon Prince. I said your AVERAGE human could not do that shit.
When I say that I aint talking about someone with influence, someone in a high position, someone who matters in a planetary government. I'm talking about this chucklefuck, this nobody in a crowd of nobodies. This whole conversation comes from you (or whoever else wanted to) saying you could be some big shot of Chaos if you were in the 40k verse, but the fact is no, you would not be, you are an average person, average (keyword here, average) people in 40k don't matter, they dont amount to anything worth a squat, certainly not to Chaos.
>>337349868
Khorne isn't about indiscriminate killing, he's about honorable, gory warfare. If he wanted indiscriminate killing, every Exterminatus ship would become a Daemon Prince.
>>337350159
not him, but a nobody could barely be a guardsman hero, commissar or anything either

>>337328861
today i started reading Gaunts Ghost, its great so far.
>>337350518
But he is. It's barely explored and displayed, but every Chaos God represents negative and positive aspects, Khorne is the god of hate, rage, blood and violence, but he is also the god of honor and discipline, traits warriors must have.

>>337350817

>>337350581
oh, nevermind then
my opinion on it then:
the fact that average nobody can't not became daemon prince is stupid, they can but not through their own power and/or will, because they are average nobodies
if they can, then they couldn't be called average nobodies anyway
>IG are STILL the expansion faction
Come on now, Relic.
>>337350159
And I've already said (about 2 or 3 times) that I readily admit the vast majority of Chaos followers will absolutely end up being cannon fodder or complete failures.
But I've also been pointing out that the possibility of attaining real power, however remote, is still there. And that's something that can't be denied. You're arguing in certainties when one of the key aspects of Chaos is subverting expectations.
If failure was a certainty, nobody would ever try anything.
So what exactly did the eldar do that was so degenerate to give birth to an entire fucking god of degeneracy?

>Khorne is the god of hate, rage, blood and violence, but he is also the god of honor and discipline
Pretty sure this stuff hasn't been canon for quite a while. Otherwise Khornate daemons wouldn't be killing defenseless people.
Only Tzeentch being the god of hope is still mentioned.
>>337351152

Which codex says he favours martial honor? I keep hearing people say it but I can't track it down and I can't figure out if it's just headcanon that has been around too long or if there was some proof that he's cool with his champions who only want to seek out big bold targets.
>>337350817
>>337350939
That hasn't been a thing since Slaves to Darkness, and it was retconned to hell and back. Chaos is a purely negative and destructive force

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die.
Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-assholes.

Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse.
To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.

The four Chaos Gods are Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeench and Slaneesh, who are almighty warp entities made up of countless souls, first created in the War in Heaven between the Old Ones and the C'tan. Slaneesh came later, as the Eldar race fugged it into existence. While the big four are the ones you hear about, there's plenty of gods of other races, and other, minor warp entities that aren't mentioned in fluff, probably only presiding over one world or minor race.

The Emperor is the greatest psyker to have every existed in the material universe, even as a barely-living corpse. Countless psykers from across the galaxy are fed to him every day to keep him sustained, their souls burned to nothing in order to extend his. With this power behind him, he has been single-handedly forcing back the powers of the Ruinous Ones since he took upon the throne, as well as keep the Astronomican (used to allow "safe" passage in the Warp) alight and to prevent the Golden Throne from opening and farting Chaos all over Terra. It also doesn't help that the Chaos Gods are CONSTANTLY bickering with each other, and are just as occupied in trying to be the best Chaos God as they are fucking over the material universe.
And to throw on my own headcanon, I believe the Emperor is a Warp God. A God of Order; despite how much it is played up, an overwhelming majority of humanity is loyal to him. If even a small part of this worships Chaos, and they remain as strong as they are, how potent is the one who untold billions more devote their lives to?
>>337343554

well for one thing it's not all good times and happy fun, you'll become hooked on everything over time because you need to chase bigger and bigger highs- furfaggotry, scat, stabbing yourself in the dick for brief jollies, and it's never enough
on top of that Slaanesh or one of his minions might decide to fuck around with you or sacrifice you
The safest bet, as picking a chaos god to worship, is Nurgle. His army is really gross, but you no longer have to feel pain once you've fully accepted him, and everyone is friendly and happy in the mire of death, muck and disease

Well, all of them are gods of fanatics really. Irrespective of the Chaos shitposting going on in this thread, unless you go above and beyond in the name of the Ruinous Ones, you get pushed to the bottom of the pile or ignored. Fanaticism to your deity is what elevates you, either for good or ill.

I remember reading in Atlas Infernal a Daemon World of Nurgle. As a base, imagine Victorian slums as an entire world. The world is choked in thick smog and toxic clouds. Huge, black flies are everywhere, constantly on people and anywhere near food. The people are pallid-skinned, covered in sores and cysts; lifelessly they trudge to their destination, be it the mines their master orders them to dig or to the stinking pits they call home. Minecarts hurtle through the town at random, hauling ores and fuel to the belching factories. People occasionally just walk in front of them and are crushed; nobody cares, nobody even notices. That's just off the top of my head.

If all xir acts eventually end in death than it will be Nurgle who eventually triumphs
The problem with IG is that they aren't that visually iconic/unique while still being recognizable as to what they actually are at first glance, compared to the big 3 races
>Space Marines are clearly recognizable supersoldiers in power armor, but still unique in their appearance
>Orks are clearly recognizable as some kind of Orc monsters but are really unique because of their technology
>Eldar are clearly super sleek and fancy faction but have quite some unique designs
Now compare that to
>IG are either generic future soldiers or a silly mishmash of various references
>Dark Eldar look like generic edgy armor sets from RPGs
>Chaos Daemons are somewhat generic demons
>Chaos Space Marines are brutes in some kind of heavy armor that is way too busy with edgy shit
>Tyranids are somewhat generic alien bugs
>Necrons are somewhat generic killer robots
>Tau are literally generic weeb shit
Again, this is just visuals at first glance. Not their fluff or design, just visuals from a marketing perspective.Except for Tau, they trully are generic weeb shit in all aspects

Slaanesh is not a god of pleasure, he is a god of excess

No, stop spewing this secondary bullshit and read a damn codex

Do you know how many fantasy tropes originated from Warhammer?
khorne=conflict

>Orks are clearly some kind of tolkien rip off.
>Eldar. Ditto. Elves in space? Woooo.
Every race has visual issues because they're all either lifted from other sauces or other sauces have aped their style for so long that the average person won't know who was first.

It's been a while, let me think... there were runes around, just floating around, looking at them they would burn into your brain and they would look back.
I remember they kept asking the traitor odd questions like "is it true imperial citizens eat the unfertilized ovum of avians?
There was one savant who had his autsms turned up to 11, he was counting everything around him all the time, and was called in to help track the ghosts, so it seems like insanity is normal and valued to some degree.
Yeah, quality of life was pretty low indeed.
>>337354742
imo Slaanesh has the the worst outcome possible for normal worshipers that have no chance in hell of becoming a Daemon Prince.
>fall to Khorne
>will most likely became a violence obsessed Berzerker
>will be killed in a battle, but at that point you'll die doing what you love and your death will only further fuel Khorne so you die happy
>fall to Tzeentch
>will most likely get fucked in the ass by someone smarter than you and if you're deep enough you might even enjoy it
>fall to Nurgle
>you'll become a bloated living corpse but the pain will be so unbearable you will just get used to it, so your death will be pretty painless
>but Nurgle never loved you, so there is that
>fall to Slaanesh
>in your pursuit of excess and new pleasure you will soon realize that only death will allow you to experience one new but final emotion
>but be it suicide or murder, in your last moments you will realize that death actually really sucks
Slaanesh is only ok if you are a Space Marine or are so great you will be elevated to a Daemon Prince, but then every other God is miles better.
>>337351290
>>Which codex says he favours martial honor?
That was before GW flanderized all the Chaos gods. It's retconned and long gone by now.
Obey the law Imperial Citizen.
Chaos Lords really have a bad track record.
>>337357996
I figured as much, but the entry I posted is from an ancient 2nd ed book that talks about shit GW doesn't consider canon anymore like the sensei and star child and what not. I really want to figure out if it's ever actually been published so the next time the debate pops up, and it will because it always does, I can point people in the right direction.
>>337358363
He is probably referring to Rogue Trader stuff, but if we consider that canon we also have to accept Beakies arresting Eldar punks for tagging walls as canon
>>337358363
iirc it's more from Warhammer Fantasy fluff that Khorne dislikes one-sided matches and enjoys even fights (and blood). Khorne wouldn't condone the easy slaughter of innocents rather than actually skillfull skirmishes.
>not following best Gods

>>337358363
It's literally just a single mention in some really old source. I don't even think it was a codex.
There are Khorne followers who are all about honor, as there are Khornate snipers or artillery men. But Khorne himself does not give a fuck about honor, just that blood flows.
>>337358842
Well, atleast it wasn't some Matt Wardian bullshit.

A long time ago, in an edition far far away the Blood Angels chapter boarded a space hulk known as the Sin of Damnation. It was full of genestealers and other gribblies. The Blood Angels left with only 50 living members of the Chapter having failed to purge the hulk. 600 years later the hulk turned up again near their home world so they sent their first company in to try to do better. This is the setting of the Space Hulk board game, or one of the editions settings at least. This time they managed to purge the hulk of the genestealers, recover some artefacts and finally put the whole debacle behind them.

>Decent life
>Become so numb to stimulus you have to become the most sick depraved and twisted cunt you can until you die from pushing your limits, soul then belongs to Slaanesh
>Become so angry and rage fuelled constantly all you see is red and you lose rational thought and other emotions, push yourself into bloodlust and dangerous situations until you die and khorne harvests you
>Try to learn magic without it fucking you up, start growing random mutations and losing control, even if you gain control tzeentch might turn you into a slug because "plans"
Nurgle is the only one who is SOMEWHAT ok, since the followers are happy and genuinely enjoy the plagues and diseases, but even they can get shit on
>>337359142
There is actually almost no information about it. The Wiki only has a single passing mention of it in few of the bios of notable Blood Angels while the Lexicanum doesn't even mention it on the Blood Angel page.
>Secoris Tragedy
>The Secoris Tragedy was a catastrophic space hulk cleansing operation undertaken by the Blood Angels Chapter in 996.M40. The entire chapter under Chapter Master Sangallo deployed when a space hulk appeared in the Secoris system near Baal. However, the Blood Angels discovered tens of thousands of Genestealers in hibernation. The resistance on board the space hulk was so great that only fifty battle brothers under Captains Kadeus and Dante survived the battle
>>337359876
There's a little more under
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Space_Hulk_(3rd_Edition)
Years ago in 996.M40 a large Space Hulk was detected passing through the Secoris system close to a populous hive world. Because of its proximity to busy trade routes in the system, it could not be bombarded for fear of the resulting debris threatening trade ship navigation. Instead the Blood Angels enacted a full-scale boarding action. What they encountered inside was tens of thousands of Genestealers rousing from hibernation. Of the entire Blood Angels chapter aboard the hulk, only fifty survived. A little more than six hundred years after what happened at Secoris, another Space Hulk was reported within a few light years of Baal. Seizing the chance to redeem their past failure and restore their chapter's pride, over eighty members of the Blood Angel first company under the command of Captain Michaelus Raphael boarded the hulk, which they give the title the Sin of Damnation. Captain Raphael quickly located a dormant nest of Genestealers, and moved to eradicate them. With a mix of cunning and sheer, brutal force, the Blood Angels manage to first isolate, and then eradicate the entire Genestealer population through the use of poison gas.
That was probably just lifted directly from the rules book from the manual, but I could be wrong.
Are there any /tg/ made IG units like how there is /tg/ made speehs Mahrines?

Bloodthirsters don't fuck around, man.
>>337360257
Not quite but they got a few characters like Comissar Fuklaw.
>>337360385
It's only a fragment of the God. There's a bunch of craftworlds and their each have their own. They might even have multiple seeing as they can be killed. The exact process of waking an avatar isn't known, other than it requires the sacrifice of the Young King.
>Space Mehreens make up a billionth of a percent of the human population
>They still get credit for everything despite them being completely irrelevant in the grand scale of things
>>337360845
There is a point in time where the numbers and even rare competent commanders of the Guard are not enough to stem the tide of a Xeno or Chaos invasion. Space Marines are what allows the Imperium to maintain the balance and stability where the Gaurd alone would see it collapse.
Armageddon, Leviathan and the 13th Black Crusade being good examples.
>>337360845
>get ALL the marines together
>probably only have a million dudes
Shit, it's probably better that they're spread out. Knowing Grimdark, if they got all together about half of them would turn traitor againlooking at you, Dark Angels
>>337361012
Nobody is denying that Astartes are overpowered mary-sue killing machines that can turn the tide of battle, but for all the battles they have won, ten thousand more have been won by the IG.
Just by the fact that their total population is somewhere close to a million means they will always be completely irrelevant.
>>337351010
They're just gonna do whitebread Cadians anyway because that's what GW stores stock. So who cares.
>>337360385
Avatars are a fragment of Khaine and Bloodthirsters are a fragment of khorne, daemons are made from the gods own power
>You will never serve the god emperor
>You will never crush filthy xenos
>You will never hold the line
There is literally no reason to live

Pretty sure that's because that's not soemthing he wants.
Kharn is actually really smart and coolheaded when not in combat situation, he knows he wouldn't get as many skulls by turning into a Daemon Prince.
