algae can color water like that

It is very convenient that alien worlds would have earth algae.

... and earth-like jungles, yeah yeah.

admit it, if this was bioware they'd be getting shit on for it

what exactly tho? 'alien worlds' looking conveniently earth-like? aliens broadly being humanoid in shape and function?

that's 99% of scifi

[Peachcurl]

ah, yes! I totally forgot this setting has actual elite-warrior clown troupes

certainly one of the more glaring and colorful depictions though

lemme know if you find any game that tickles your fancy, I'd be interested to play

but I'm afraid you'll remain untickled

 

[razvedchiki]

only if you have played rites of war will you understand the power of the harlequin/death jester.

for the record, wh40k isn't scifi, it's space fantasy.

Eldar ruins, seems cool.

this is why you are a moron, and why we are getting decline over and over

this image is generic and full of colors and has nothing with the tone of Wh40k

Because 40k is well known for the use of a muted palette in its art

so in your eye, what was owlcatposted and what you posted is equal?

It's not 'equal', but the art style being too colorful somehow contradicting the lore of the setting is just a bullshit excuse to invoke. Just say that you personally don't like the art style itself and stop there, no need to invoke the lore.

 

[Shadenuat]

I mean they both not entirely understand I think.

There are a lot of "muted" colors on old art posted, it's just those more nuanced colors surround other, bright bold colors (which are also not entirely obvious, for example red pauldron is not just red, it's some kind of scarlet). That's the whole reason why art works.

I have to admit I'd love to see more aliens and alien worlds being properly... alien.

Dunno, the balance of the various colors in that Eldari ruin looks fine to me. Kinda reminds me of Beyond Earth with its greens and purples.

Spoiler

 

[Shadenuat]

I don't think there is anything good in this game, but what you posted is primarely grays. Brighter colors are mostly units and accents.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

Firing a plasma pistol at something, that might be a servitor.

 

[Ibn Sina]

Anyone arguing that 40K is not lowest, most retarded type of Scifi is an idiot. It is absolutely the lowest of the low. Grimderp is the only constant rule of 40k.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

Nah nigger, you just jelly that you aint getting all the pussy like Admiral Spire.

questionable, but in a way it mimics the lore: bunch of interesting and odd ideas held together by faith alone. I used to like settings that have lots of versatility to them, aka you can tell a variety of completely different stories, using largely different props and motives, without giving up some basic familiarity that goes with the lore and the brand that ties them. Today I'd rather describe this as a "dumpster setting". Something that allows fundamentally uncreative people to latch onto something existing; to me every new story calls for experimenting with new worlds or themes, that's the beauty of creative opportunities. A new idea should most likely equal a new world.

They're definitely shooting at servitors.

He's right you know. That's why 40k is better than any scifi setting.

Im making this clear, if you are gonna engage in certain fantasies(YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHICH IN THIS SETTING) we are spacing you. :D

I have to agree with Rusty here*, you'd need good proper SF for that. Not fantasy in space. In computer version. From a franchise that isn't even that good for said fantasy - when it comes to alien races.

Spoiler

*hey, rusty_shackleford, I even like Niven as well. I really prefer when you don't make sense - for consistency sake. The world is confusing enough without You starting to make sense and adding to my confusion.

I don't disagree. I wouldn't mind a properly hard sci-fi either.

 

[Gradenmayer]

A lot of pretentious sci-fi enjoyers here, who can't even tell sci-fi apart from a fantasy setting.
Dimwitted clowns, go check what sci-fi actually is before spewing your nonsense over this thread.
40K is a fantasy setting. It has things that are scientifically impossible even from a hypothetical angle: Gods fueled by faith, Warp, Magic and etc.
