Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Storyfag ain’t wrong, if the Emperor was still against religion he wouldn’t be blessing the sisters of battle with divine abilities and faith wouldn’t be a genuinely effective tool against chaos.

Isn't this just wrap doing wrap things? Any big emotional investment in anything will manifest something in the wrap from I understand? Faith is genuine tool because the wrap exist.

Storyfag ain’t wrong, if the Emperor was still against religion he wouldn’t be blessing the sisters of battle with divine abilities and faith wouldn’t be a genuinely effective tool against chaos.

And it’s not like he hasn’t had the chance to set the record straight even as a corpse.

Pretty sure he ain't exactly the same as he was. Before he had some humanity in him. Now he became a warp entity. The only things that stops him from turning into proper chaos god of humanity, zealotry and xenophobia is the cybernetic corporeal anchor that is his body. But it's strange to think that all that time humanity pumped him with worship energies didn't affect him in the slightest. I very much doubt that the chaos thing people refer to as the Emperor is similar in mind and goals to original demigod person.

 

[Reinhardt]

Again - this is an OPTION

btw where is proper space merchant option? like "to prove your intentions can you provide some

Eldar poop crystals

straight form their source on my chest?"

 

[Reinhardt]

hey, it's owlcat gaem after all!

 

[Tyranicon]

Shield of Faith is really just the sheer strength of the Emperor simping for his Nun waifus.
This is now canon.

I can't wait for the next codex to reveal that one of the SoB religious ceremonies is to dress up in a bikini and sit around in a hot tub, with a servo skull broadcasting it straight to the Emperor himself.

Camwhoring for the Emperor > camwhoring for money

In the grim darkness of the far future, there are still twitch thots.
If you think about it, the Space Marines also simp for the Emperor pretty hard.
"It is better to simp for the bone daddy, than to live for yourself."

Chaos Space Marines are those who couldn't resist the lure of Nurgles enormous booty "kindness and chill vibes."

No, those would be the Sisters of Battle.
And the Black Templars, since they also worship the Emperor as a legitimate and only deity in the galaxy.
The rest of the Astartes still follow the Imperial Truth. There are no gods, the Emperor is more of a prophet and the architect of a new age for humanity, rather than a deity.

Concept art for Archon Iremeryss - apparently one fo the big bosses of the game if not the final boss.

Dark Eldar make good villains, they're the only faction that is objectively more evil than the Imperium.

 

[NecroLord]

Dark Eldar are edgy cunts.
The Eldar, as a whole. Space Elves? Fuck that.

Also...

more evil than the Imperium.

 

[Trithne]

more evil than the Imperium.

The Imperium is grossly bureaucratic and uncaring, burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds and countless souls beyond the ability to track. It knows that it has to do terrible things in order to survive in a galaxy of horrors, but it does those things for the benefit of humanity. The Imperium sees itself fighting a defensive war, and if the horrors of galaxy would just fuck off and leave them alone, there could be, for one fleeting moment, peace.

The Dark Eldar do horrible things because they can. (And out of selfishness. The suffering they inflict on others prolongs their own lives) To claim that the Imperium is worse because "lol blam memes" is asinine and the sort of crap that leads to the arguments we see in this very thread claiming that 40k lacks the space for anything other than war despite being a setting filled with possibility.

-----

I expected that the primary antagonists would be Dark Eldar given the Eldar companion, and the plot point shown early in the alpha about a star just going missing - That's a Dark Eldar thing. They steal stars.

 

[Cryomancer]

HEre is a hot take. IS not IF chaos will win. Is WHEN. The humanity could exterminate ALL Xenos and still, each human born is more sexual desire, more ambition, more lust and so on which will feed chaos. While each demon killed just reforges. And when the emperor dies, all of the FTL travel of humanity will be lost and many planets will be dominated by powerful psykers, others by Xenos and them, turned into chaos hellholes.

Here is another hot take for the anti casters here who follow the emperor; YOU ARE WORSHIPING AN CASTER. The emperor is not only an pysker, but also the strongest and deadliest psyker

 

[Humbaba]

40k's endgame is most likely Tyranids vs Orks, Chaos will be completely borked by the nid's hivemind.

And after that Necrons going to wipe out the winner

 

[Camel]

The only acceptable boobs in the setting are from the big-boobed space nuns.

No you can't see them. Or touch them. Or do anything with them. Be happy they exist.

The Emperor protects. His boobs. Those are his.

Eldar Farseers are the hottest in the WH40k videogames but I wouldn't say no to a hot space nun. Either of them aren't that sexualised in the setting which is based on selling collections of miniatures. Wh40k is loved not for hot babes or romances especially Owlcat's cringy ones.

The devs usually make (some) good villains.

 

[NecroLord]

May the Emperor forgive me, but sweet Holy Terra, Macha is a nice piece of xenos ass.

 

[Trithne]

Why is Macha a banshee now?

 

[Cyberarmy]

I don't think that photo is Macha, she'd have light blue eyes.

From what I have watched about 40K lore, Necrons are by far the strongest faction.

 

[NecroLord]

Necrons have the most advanced technology. Seriously, some really OP shit.

 

[Technomancer]

From what I have watched about 40K lore, Necrons are by far the strongest faction.

On paper. Their arcane tech is superior but only small percentage of their empire is awake in the galaxy, in fact there is no empire anymore since their own emperor is in self-exile and relinquished his control codes. As a race they are maddened and splintered into warring dynasties, there is no united front, only planet-states. This is how their OP dooms day weapons like planet killers can't be used effectively and get destroyed. For that reason orks are far likely to be the strongest (when they unify for a galaxy wide war) or tyranids when their full host arrives in the galaxy.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Orks basically scale to infinity don't they? If the bozz can keep a WAAAGH going for long enough, they will all get bigger and stronger and their "belief" magic will just become stronger as well?

Yeah there was an ork version of Emperor (sort of but not really) called the Beast, he spawned from the biggest WAAAGH to date. He was ridiculously big and the only way they could kill him is by sacrificing primarch in the process.

It was Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders.
