In the grim darkness of the far future, there is war but not always and not everywhere. :betrayed:

Nope, really good painters paint really good faces
Yeah, cut half of my post. Beside it's not really a dynamic expression.

We don't know if the Sister companion is one such higher ranking individual and I wasn't making that point either, though assuming lore-accuracy, she does not look like a foot soldier.
I'm not expecting strict lore accuracy, but she probably will be something more than a novice, and of squad leader rank at most.

I wanted to point out that those types of coats have always existed
Certainly not : https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Miniatures_(Sisters_of_Battle)

So only started appearing in 2019 regarding mini, for official art I don't know, feel free to prove me wrong.

that it's not le evul sjws over at Owclat covering up lewd booba.
You whole counter-counter contrarian attitude is childish, we already pointed so in the wrath thread. I'm not the one blaming sjw or whatever recent soup. I half-jokinlgy pointed out so a few apge ago, because I consider getting away from the gothic ultra exaggerated feature decline. I would also be butthurt if they removed the enormous pauldron on SM. Also denying the obviously sexual character of SoB would be as ridiculous as doing so for banshee or whych, everyone know that massive boob shaped armor is absolute garbage on a practical side, but w40k thrive on ridiculous and exagerated feature.

Also, updating my .txt when I will later seeing you defending the inevitable romance redditor and biofag are already pushing.

I didn't. Also define dynamic.

Yes, thank you for repeating my point, retard.

So? The point was that it's not an Owlcat invention. Imagine being this stupid.

You sound really defensive, coomer. Cry some more and watch anime.

1. Define "as usual"

2. The Imperium does not need to exercise authority over anything in order for it to be horrible. In fact, the Imperium lost contact to anything beyond the Cicatrix Maledictum and held very little sway over most of the billions of its worlds even before that.

3. "governing as they please" i.e. governing as absolutist despots with the individual possessing no rights whatsoever beyond its use for the imperial war machine.

Life is shit for everyone in the imperium. from the lowest of the low with dogshit lives and no future. To the wealthy and bored who have to contend with slaanesh being an actual real fucking thing that will eat your balls after fucking too many kids.

To the planetary governors who better hit ever increasing quota and make that tithe payment or else you'll be made ruthless example of and replaced with someone who will. Space Marines, who after a gruelling process which kills most of them, finds their entire existence is relentless warfare -And hopefully that end will come swiftly lest you end up like Dante. Or an inquisitor who knows just how fucked everything is, and that the soul of every human is truly damned.

It's an empire running entirely on momentum, it's had its day in the sun and there is no going back. It'll be ground down to Eldar style cuckoldry before finally being absorbed by outer dark xenos or fall to chaos, And if it doesn't it'll end up like the Necrons... Utterly inhuman in form.

am a bit skeptical though. The system was not great for buildporn in general, and RT was especially barebones (no multiclassing, no prestige classes and iirc options within the classes were pretty limited as well except for maybe spellcasters).

That sounds like an improvement compared to the bloat in their previous games imho.
It's too far in the other direction. DH has a very nice system with career paths, you make more specializations in your career since there's not enough xp for everything, and you can replace certain levels with prestige classes (but they're all single level prestige classes). RT you basically wind up getting every skill and ability available to your class every level iirc. They might do something like that for RT, but they'd have to make it all themselves...

Oh, that's not even the worst part of it.

HH writers lack the talent to write adult characters, so all Primarchs come across as petulant children whining because daddy gave them a spanking.

Then there's Fabious Bile that can apparently clone Primarchs with ease, which begs the question why the Emperor didn't just clone himself an army of Primarchs instead of bothering with Space Marines.

Oh, but wait, the Emperor didn't create the Space Marines, it was the feminist moon cunts and a stronk womyn scientist called Astarte.

And he apparently didn't even create the Primarchs, but he "stole" something from the Chaos Gods after reneging on a deal they made.

I dare you to try to read the first book of the Solar War - try to count how many people in authority that aren't Primarchs or Space Marines are men.


We truly are the lost and damned...

Lot of facial muscle involved, eventually in opposite direction. This will go nowhere anyway.

"Since 3 years" is not my definition of "always has been" , but keep moving the goalpost.


Yeah, exhibiting sexual feature obviously mean that you are forced to bust one to it. I pray for everyone sake that you're never going to approach any kind of antiquity museum
Idk and Idc if the lore has been retconned , but originally they had to expose clear difference between them and SM, as it was an interdiction of the right to upkeep a force of armed "men".

They're nomodel secondaries who pretend to know 40k in order to buff their nerd cred and hope no one calls them out on their bullshit.

Right now I've got a 2nd edition, never painted plastic gretchin on my right staring directly at me waiting to be primed, I remember when it was good. I was there damnit.

You are so upset that your already terrible English is getting even worse now. Calm down and type whatever you were trying to say again.

Ignore the queers, they're full of shit.

40k humanity is an amorphous blob little better than the tyranid living in a mega socialist, Ingsoc, war communist hell where you work your quota and then you die.

It is to live in the cruellest, most brutal regime imaginable. For there is no peace amongst the stars, and whatever happens you will not be missed.
Imagine being such a lorelet. Not every imperial world is ravaged by war nor is every imperial world at peace some shitty hive world.

That's not the point, the point is that everything revolves about humanity's eternal war against the universe. Even if you live on a Paradise World.

A paradise world is a class of planet characterized by its outstanding natural beauty. Its natural conditions are perfect for human habitation. They have little, if any, industry and low populations. Instead of populating or industrializing these rare planets, some are retained in their natural state and used as recreational bases for important Imperial servants. On these planets, warriors may train their bodies and minds for war, studying arcane battle-philosophy and practising martial arts.[1]
Oh the horror, training body, peaceful reading of texts and martial arts training!! The HOROR!
Only a 21 century soy boy like you would see this as anything bad LOL

Not to mention that it only applies to warriors, not dignitaries on holidays (or the local elite).

This statement is so retarded that you've earned your place on the ignore list.

Ah yes, being cannonfodder in partaking on holiday trips and bureaucratic work (unless you're some fancy noble whose hereditary rulership is recognized by the Imperium in which case you might be able to skip the work as well). Much war, very fodder, wow.

I'll post this here, since your profile is locked like North Korea, your favourite country.

True, I just think that you're looking for a deeper, nuanced perspective in a setting that often doesn't go for that. They made a mishmash of stuff blowing eachother up with stuff that would make cool art and minis to sell.
But he's correct in saying that the potential for literally anything is there. It's just not taken advantage of for the reasons you mention.
