It's nice isn't it? Unfortunately after a test it seems it's too big to fit into shoulder pads neatly with my painting skills. Swastika alone without the extensions changing the symbol to Tursaansydän would fit but the mere though of the amount of explaining I'd have to do everytime I played someone I didn't already know is exhausting. Fylflot would also work but at that size it'd be very difficult to paint it in a way in which it wouldn't be mistaken for a swastika.

You might want to consider a variant of the triskelion instead, maybe.

Yes, that was suggested to me but I think it's a bit too dainty and spherical.

They're members of a pseudo-fascist regime that espouses hatred of other races. A vaguely swastika thing fits.

True (fascism isn't the intended point though). A reaction I got from another forum has made me reconsider a bit though. While I don't consider anywhere near all of the arguments to be valid (one guy went as far as saying he'd not only refuse to play against me if I used swastika, but would actively try to get organisers in a hypotethical event we were attending to kick me out for it) it just doesn't seem worth all the trouble.

do you guys think emprah can actually die or he'll became something nasty (for chaos) in the warp?

he can turn chaos to something else for example. after all, chaos gods consumes good thoughts as much as evil ones.

In the RP I'm working on, he becomes a warp god, and deity of humanity, purity, hatred, and punishment.

Not a Chaos god though.

If he could consume good thoughts which empowers Chaos just as same as blood, torture or deception, I guess it would be enough to kill at least one Chaos god immediately and block other three.

It would be such glorious irony there, if God-Emprah murdered Slaneesh and saved Eldars: same a**holes calling us animals.

What about the Malevich Cross as used by Laibach?

Nah, he just prevents his children from getting corrupted and lets them sense the Astronomicon, while those descended from Chaos worshippers don't get that. No gods are killed.

Slaanesh is locked in combat with Ynnead and Cegorach though, and all the Craftworld Eldar are dead. Because fuck the Eldar.

But the Eldar are so elegant!

Wankers are wankers. I would love to watch that guy try and play a WW2 wargame .

Hey, not everybody can be so practical and efficient as the Tau.

Irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that she only brought swords to a bolter fight.

Nope, he'll definitely be a new chaos god.

Anyone else think it would be fun to run an army of walkers as an unbound army?

That's just artistic license with a sprinkling of fan service.

I have always thought banging a sister of battle would be as enjoyable as banging a bag of cold nails.

[Socialist Czechia]

Chaos is merely a nature. It was created by the mess in material universe. But for some reason, Chaos gods are acting like total evil, although Khorne is about bravery, Slaanesh is for joy and Nurgle is 'just' cycle of life.

So if Emprah will became human god of purity and contempt, through all the human souls and thoughts, he will be same 'natural' creation of universe as Chaos gods.

Depends how much fervor for the Emprah you've got hanging out behind your oversized codpiece.

Yes? Which walker?

No, they were made that way. Khorne was born a bloodthirsty warmonger, Nurgle a plague-spreading landwhale, Slaanesh an embodiment of the Eldar's depravity, and Tzeentch...

Nobody knows what's up with him.

Which would be a funky soundtrack. Granted, it is not exactly grimdark enough for the far future where there is only war. It's probably heretical as well.

Tzeentch is entropy, ambition. Enough downtrodden masses and he's happy to show up.

[Socialist Czechia]

just as planned, i guess.

Dreadnaughts. Deff Dreads. Killa Kans. War Walkers. Penitent Engines. Onager Dunecrawler. Defiler. Mech Warriors in the Far Future of the 41st Millenium!
