Warhammer 40k: Megathread V1 - FOR THE EMPEROR - Games

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;31914838]I recall Asia became the Imperial Palace.[/QUOTE] It covers pretty much all of Eurasia (I think I recall the actual throne room being somewhere in the modern day Europe).

Goddamn, the Imperial Palace sure is huge, then

According to Blood Games, the Himalyas were leveled and on top of that is where the Imperial Palace is built.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;31916715]According to Blood Games, the Himalyas were leveled and on top of that is where the Imperial Palace is built.[/QUOTE] Isn't the Forbidden Fortress (and Astronomican) on/in the Himalayas?

Those are impressive proportions, holy emperor

Wait a second here... I was reviewing multiplayer footage and all and by far I could see... For the Tactical Marine: -Bolter -Stalker Bolter -Plasma -Melta For the Assault: -Boltgun -Chainsword -Powerweapon -Powerweapon 2handed For the Devastator: -Heavy Bolter -Lascannon -(probably) Plasma Cannon Now that I think about it, wont multiplayer be short as fuck if you get to unlock only these?

I love the scale of the 40K universe, that one picture from the 3rd edition of eternity gate is amazing. Terra is pretty much one massive hive now anyway, wonder if the underhive is still a veritable bevy of debauchery and sin. [QUOTE=Joxalot;31916903]Wait a second here... I was reviewing multiplayer footage and all and by far I could see... For the Tactical Marine: (list ommited) Now that I think about it, wont multiplayer be short as fuck if you get to unlock only these?[/QUOTE] I assume the middle will be filled with armour parts? Or will that be on a "10 kills with bolter" basis?

I remember a time when we didn't need unlocks and carrots on a stick to keep playing a video game.

[QUOTE=Gunner th;31914647]Titus is a Captain, Sidonus is a veteran Sergeant, Leandros is a recent sergeant.[/QUOTE] What happened to the rest of Titus's command squad?

But it's not unly for sake of just unlocking things. Wont it also let the player with less options? Not implying this list is short, but arsenal availible for SM/CSM has so many weapons, I wish to see more then just these. [QUOTE=markg06;31916921]Last I checked Relic hadn't announced what the mp unlocks are.[/QUOTE] But from the videos you can assume the player will be unlocking either weapons or perks.

[QUOTE=GetBent;31914985]You can stun Nobs using the 3 chainsword swipes then press stun and it does the AoE stun, it seems to stun the Nobs often. Then you do the QTE event and kill them easy.[/QUOTE] So that's how you do the AoE stun? Thanks a lot, bro, i never knew how to do it.

But from the videos you can assume the player will be unlocking either weapons or perks.[/QUOTE] If Space Marine is successful and sales go up for Relic, you never know if Relic might add in some more weapons to keep Space Marine going. And perhaps the amount of unlocks we may get could be small, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun and wreak a lot of havoc with them (i'm looking at you, Plasma Cannon and Heavy Bolter.)

I never said the game would be less enjoyable, tho. But goddamn, I do hope they put some Flamers and Powerfists in our disposal

Read Eisenhorn during my holiday. A good book, but the spelling and grammatical errors were horrible, plus a few contradictions in the story. The most notable was Eisenhorn smiling in the second book. He smiles, what blasphemy is this. If you don't understand, then you haven't read the first book, so I won't spoil anythings. Apart from the errors, I've already spoiled them for you.

Where exactly does he smile in it? (put it in Spoiler Tags)

[QUOTE=Marbalo;31913331]Why is everyone bonering over Space Wolves In terms of badassery, Black Templars take the cake.[/QUOTE] Um Grey Knights. Their geneseed is supposedly that of the Emperor himself. Obviously the most bad ass.

Nope, Black Templars. They don't need the Emperor's geneseed.

Grey Knights are more badass than the Black Templars, they kill you with bullets then blow your soul apart whilst the Templars are just on a permanent angst crusade for not being at the battle for Terra, and they kill you harder the more you piss them off.

And then Along came Matt Ward and the badassness died.

Atleast Helbrecht is overflowing with swag: [img]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/1/14/Helbrecht_Art.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;31919885]And then Along came Matt Ward and the badassness died.[/QUOTE] I haven't even read any of his books but please god no, don't make me imagine it. I know enough.

Can someone tell me what's up with the Salamanders? I've seen multiple pictures of them being black but other pictures of them being charcoal black. Which is the correct skin color?

I've been making progress in glueing together my Chaos Terminators, but if there's one thing i hate about Warhammer figures, it's glueing together your figures. Sometimes a piece won't fit, sometimes you'll glue a piece only to figure out later on/right after that the piece is at the wrong angle, and sometimes, you might accidentally rip out a piece/limb of the figure while trying to glue another piece in. [editline]24th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=RayvenQ;31919885]And then Along came Matt Ward and the badassness died.[/QUOTE] Oh come on. Grey Knights are still badass, and i'd say that the Black Templars and the Grey Knights are equally badass in my opinion.

Helbrecht and Grimaldus aswell as Draco are the finest badasses the Black Templar can offer, not counting the entirety of the Sword Brethren.

[QUOTE=Takuat;31919920]Can someone tell me what's up with the Salamanders? I've seen multiple pictures of them being black but other pictures of them being charcoal black. Which is the correct skin color?[/QUOTE] Current correct black is Obsidian Black, though in earlier history they were african-esque, and usually for painting its dark skin tones rather than black (rather hard to paint black as a skin tone and have it look good.

Actually, the Grey Knights are, rather boring imho, sure they're awesome Daemon Hunters but theres very little personality about them.

[QUOTE=Takuat;31919920]Can someone tell me what's up with the Salamanders? I've seen multiple pictures of them being black but other pictures of them being charcoal black. Which is the correct skin color?[/QUOTE] The skin colours vary, ranging from brown to pitch black.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;31920475]The skin colours vary, ranging from brown to pitch black.[/QUOTE] No, currently, the geneseed and the radiation from Nocturne for some reason turns it obsidian black.

You forgot the power axe, the bolt pistol, the plasma pistol and the grenade launcher thing.
