If this game does well, perhaps that could become a thing as well.

I've read theories about A.I rebelling because of chaos, or A.I was able to understand what warp is, they didn't rebel for lulz, or rights but because they thought that it was the only way for them to survive.

That's another theory. Nothing is confirmed so far.

I know that Ordo Xenos have it in their motto to never believe a word xeno says, never accept any gifts from them. Any interaction other than open hostility, are taken as last resort.

Actually, some xeno races are okay. Kroot are acceptable mercs in a pinch, but don't get caught using them by the most fanatic members of the Imperium.

It's ironic that the more insane eldars from the spiky city are the more honest ones. Or maybe it's just eldars being honest with themselves.

Exodite Eldars are cool though, but they have a tendency to exterminate humans they believe that they're trespassing with extreme prejudice. Dark Eldar also lie plenty, but if you don't see it coming from monsters that dress in S&M gear, you deserved it.
There was a playable dark eldar option for the RT game, but I never saw it in play.

My knowledge of 1st edition eldars is rather bare bones, it makes sense for GW to create a new eldar faction to be more reasonable, since GW pushed for IoM/Eldar alliance for some reason.

OG Eldar were sexy enough to have half-elves as part of the imperium.

This is peak retardation and insanity.

*Eldar.
Not that they have other choices, except saving Isha from Nurgle's clutches and hoping for the best.

Logically the Eldar and Tau are natural allies against Chaos for the Imperium. Guilliman looks to be serious to unfuck the IoM from the current rot.

Some Eldar at least. The Tau don't even fully know the extend of Chaos' powers and their territory is laughable. The only reason why the 'Nids have not eaten them is due plot armor.

 

[skaraher]

The Eldar ending being that they betray you and leave you alone to face doom at the hands of the Inquisition would be kino and like VTMB Kuei jin ending.

Yes. But it's easy to fix by modding >: )

What was the given explanation for them being able to breed?

 

[NecroLord]

faction of eldars, that have both space and spiky elves in their ranks.

and that's why the only correct course of action is to kill any elf on sight. they are all same sadistic degenerate fags.

Guilliman disagrees

Guilliman always was a shifty crypto traitor, Rogal Dorn is the really based loyalist primarch.

I do not care who knows the truth now, tomorrow, or in ten thousand years. Loyalty is its own reward

The Lion is a fuckin' badass.

Modding can't fix voice acting

The Lion is a fuckin' badass.

I read the book about his "origin story". Didn't sound so badass, if you ask me. (Then again, the book wasn't really good, so it might be that.)

Tau are too small to even be noticed by 'Nids. Also Nids are not unthinking animals, they prefer IoM to have more enemies to fight instead of less while they are trying to beat them.

 

[Peachcurl]

Nids don't care about "more enemies". They might care about more things to eat. They probably don't even notice the difference between a tau world and an imperial world.

Yeah, I heard most of the books focusing on him are dogshit.
He is better when paired with Roboute and Sanguinius (like in Ruinstorm).
He was wrestling and killing warp tainted beasts on Caliban while being an infant. Not to mention he was constantly being exposed to warp taint and the dark whisperings of Chaos. Honestly, he might've been designed by the Emperor to be a hunter of sorts, if you factor in his abilities and resistance (if not outright immunity) to Chaos corruption.

40k books aren't good as a rule. There are more of a guilty pleasure for the less bad one. First half of Gaunt Ghost serie and the Einsenhorn trilogy are decent, the rest is classic licensed SF-trash.

Some of the Horus Heresy books are also really great.
I think 40k books have a great deal of variety when it comes to quality. You just have to choose wisely, I guess.

Dunno, I skimmed the OG book years ago and read the 1d4 chan article, but if there was an explanation, it was "just because".

There are some other decent suggestions in this thread: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/best-warhammer-40k-books.141884/

I liked the (earlier, don't know about the latest) Cain stuff.

But then, I like Blackadder and Flashman, so putting those IN SPACE would appeal to me even if I realize that it's derivative.

Actually it can with the help of our AI overlords.!

Most of the Craftworld Eldar should logically ally with the Imperium after Failbaddon’s success at last and Tau are few but curiously resistant to Chaos.

 

[Reinhardt]

Eldar

logically

 

[Storyfag]

You really ought to read root's 42K epic. It's in one of the stickied posts in the Playground.

Wasn't this one deleted or something IIRC?

An intrepid soul called Nevill has saved a file. I even have it, if need be. Along with Epic, the Codexian Saga and Overlord. Y'know, all the good stuff.
But the backup links are still all up: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/database-for-cyoa-type-forum-games.99974/

The reddit crowd is truly atrocious. All they ever talk about is romance. The worst thing is that the community managers of Owlcat and some writers regularly interact with them. It's like the BSN all over again.
