The Warhammer 40.000/Fantasy Discussion Thread Mk.II

[Impaled Nazarene]

What's your favorite Space Marine Chapter?(Mine are the Space Wolves).

The Thousand Sons, followed closely by the Death Guard and the World Eaters. I also like most of the other Traitor Legions. I can't stand the Emperor's Children though. Back in my day, there were only three chaos gods, damnit!

I mainly play Xenos factions though, so I don't actually run any marine armies.

HOLY SHIT SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME LOVES THE WORLD EATERS

What's your favorite Space Marine Chapter?(Mine are the Space Wolves).

No particular single favourite, but do love the salamanders, iron warriors and thousand sons.

It's a fact that everything the world eaters could do, the night lords did better.

Orks in power armour would accomplish more than the World Eaters did in canon. Not even Ghazghkull's orks, some random warband of Orks would accomplish more than the World Eaters.

World Eaters are cool, just nothing I'm interested in collecting myself (except for that shiny Khârn miniature, I guess!).

Kharn is good. He's the only champion that doesn't frustrate me. I like to imagine him as an Angron with some cunning which is kinda hilarious considering this is Kharn. I just wish GW would have better explained the strengths of chaos champions because Kharn seems way too strong for a 'mortal'.

Very true.

Thinking about it, maybe that's their strength. The world eaters make everyone else look good by comparison.

"Love" is too strong a word. I don't particularly like Marines of any type, but the non-Slaanesh single-chaos-god legions are the only ones I mildly like.

It's also a fact that everything any Marine can do, a specialized Eldar unit does better.

Khorne has explicitedly enabled GodMode cheats for Kharn though, so he may not be the most representative example.

Said I've played it, aware of the game's issues though.

That said, can't knock an intro voiced by the legendary TOM BAKER!

Hah, Mandalore is great.

He introduced me to Ultimate Apocalypse and my chaos bone has never shrunk since.

Sure they would, but Howling Banshees are better at it.

FAE: "Eldar are better than Space Marines"

Eldar have a specialized unit for that too.

Eldar are so weak and fragile compared to literally everything else in the 40kverse. It's no wonder they're being roflstomped out of existence; they're pathetic. You can say they're better all you want, but the only thing they're better at that matters is dying. :^)

Also, lol at comparing a giant gundam to a super-soldier. As if that's even a remotely fair or similar comparison.

[The Biggles Syndicate]

How cool would it be to have an Imperial Guard Regiment based on the US Pacific Fleet from WW2?

I think you're confusing the Eldar with the Tau.

[Crookfur]

I'm not sure how you would base them on naval units but certain the marines could work as specialists in fighting on watery worlds or as drop troops.

No doubt they'd be good at bunker busting too. Flamers, Grenade Launchers, Meltas, and all sorts of other goodies. These guards would have to be supported by more ranged focused ones. Or just have the focus be on those super guardsmen, what are they called again? Kasrkins?

They both pretty much have gundams.

Tau gundams are just tougher and don't look like stickbugs.

No, they both fit the description. As do the humans.

Space Marines ain't fragile, boi

In lore, no. But whenever they show up in like a game cutscene or something, they tend to get Worfed pretty bad.
