So the battle of Calth kicked off in Know No Fear

That cargo ship ramming into the Calth Orbital was like the Holdo Ram from Star Wars on fucking steroids, man that was fucking cool to read

Here began a hate so powerful that Khorne would become obese if he tried to feed off of it.





I got a good idea for a novella:

The main setting is a continental world with a federation which is like America, but it has technology several hundred years ahead of present day and some local colonies in its star system. Then one day, the President learns that a mysterious species (really just a large Dark Eldar attack) is coming for his planet to harvest it. We see a giant conflict that the humans barely win, driving back the Dark Eldar. Then the President learns that a giant, mysterious fleet that call themselves the Night Lords (or any of the other really destructive/brutal chapters) is coming to conquer their system for the Great Crusade, and we get to see the results of that.

We do not mention that event. Visually stunning as it might have been, it was completely idiotic and literally broke Star Wars. TLJ was a disaster.

The Emperor does not approve.

"Idiotic" "literally broke star wars"
It totally wasn't making Anakin a Jesus Christ figure, or taking the imagination out of the force in the prequels, or making the clone wars a war between two disposable armies with no emotional connection, or having the Revan story be the most compelling narrative in the whole franchise and refusing to ever attempt to make something that good ever again, nor was it Han Solo retconning his own age by saying he thought the Jedi were a myth, and it totally wasn't because George Lucas watered the mythos down in a way that makes the laziest and most abridged Tolkien knock off look deep and complex.

But nope it was a mostly physics compliant lightspeed ram that broke the series.

What next the Tyranids broke 40k because they too stronk? Or was it the fall of Cadia because that broke longstanding tradition? Maybe it was the Necrons continuously doing jack shit until the plot calls for it.

Enough with the overdone idiotic analysis that some poorly directed movie with some godawful scenes murdered star wars.

When I tell people I like the Star Wars original trilogy about as much as the Harry Potter films (and vice versa) they often get the wrong impression.

The correct impression being closer to "meh".

1. I never said the movie murdered Star Wars; I said a specific scene broke it. As in, it broke the lore (which it did).

2. I'd love to pull apart this argument because honestly it'd be a cake walk to do so, but I'm trying to break my habit of derailing threads so if you'd like to continue let's take it to telegrams seeing as we're in the 40k thread and not the SW thread.

Tbh, as angry as the ignorance in Nazarene's post made me this blatant misuse of jargon makes me even angrier. The words you two are using require far more cleverness than the post you're quoting demonstrates in order to be properly applicable.

You're both banned from the Internet forever.

When I tell people I like the Star Wars original trilogy about as much as the Harry Potter films (and vice versa) they often get the wrong impression.

The correct impression being closer to "meh".

I know I said I don't want to derail the thread but I just want to stop and make this clear right now:

I am not a SW fanatic or purist of any kind; I do not worship the Prequels or the OT and I definitely don't hate what Disney is doing with SW just because it's Disney; I hate it because it's either mediocre (TFA) or sucks ass (TLJ). I thought Rogue One was great, for example. Haven't seen Solo but I hear it's underrated and it's on my Netflix list.

I'm not one of those "I hate new things because they're new" people, okay? Just making that clear right away. Furthermore, I agree with the sentiment that Harry Potter is definitely "meh". Never got into it myself, even as a kid. Just didn't interest me that much.

Now, let's keep on the topic of 40K.

I'm sure further Star Wars discussion can continue... in a thread more fitting for it

I managed to pick up the new female commissar model, Severina Raine, today. Wasn't very fun to put together but the model looks stunning. I can only imagine how awesome it must be for the author, considering this is her first full on 40k novel (rather than short story) - launched at the same time as, and together with, a miniature of the main character!

I might nab it myself some point. What material is it?

Resin. Would've been fine, mostly - mine came without any holes, warping, or anything of the sort, but the way it's been designed on the sprues is more reminiscent of a plastic clampack model. Probably owed to the dynamic-ish pose of the miniature, but there were a few parts that were frustrating to attach - especially the connection between the torso and legs.

AH k


I still have Kantor to stick together (he is resin too), and i need to get around to this Crimson Fist army so might hold off on her first. I do have a week off of work in March so im thinking of powering through most of the minis then.

Remember how when teenage Gman led a big Macraggian Army to pacify Illyria before Emps found him?

I'm wondering a lot of things about it...what did it look like? What was the extent of their technology? How big was their influence? What were their numbers before and after? And how awesome would it be to have a mini Total War game about them or 40k in general?

You mean a game where you move armies and manage your ressources on a grand strategic map and duke out RTS battles against other armies?
Such a game already exists.

Years ago I and my friends tried demo mission for Dark Heresy and fire fights turned out looking like this because we forgot to add range bonuses.

Huskar says so and the reviews aren't anymore brutal than GA1 so go for it.

[Hirota]

I've been trying to do the maths on if it's cheaper to buy the resin models, or buy a 3d printer and the resin and just make my own.

The numbers are closer than you think. If there were enough models out there to use on a 3d printer it *might* be viable.
