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

[QUOTE=Vasili;31955960] I have. Xenology is fluff abuse while Fifteen hours is another stereotype about how all guardsmen die like flies.[/QUOTE] So are neither of them worth getting? I found Xenology for about £7 and Fifteen hours for about £3. How is xenology fluff abuse though?

I want a campaign where I play as a Hive Mind, You have 4 squads of different powers (Hive lord is one, not sure about the rest) and instead of weapon selection you select which unit to control. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] Third Person RTS

[QUOTE=Joxalot;31952221][img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/relicwhy.png[/img][/QUOTE] I've always wondered why they did that. I know it's a fan run site, but it's based around stuff Relic has made...

Does anyone know of any decent Orc Warhammer novels?

[QUOTE=Vasili;31955960]Heres hoping in some DLC they might add the Orks as a multiplayer faction. You could just play as a Nob or something slightly weaker. They do have the options of assault, heavy and and normal. No one is going to give a toss if you just give them the same power, so balancing in that field is easy enough, and just giving them the same weapons and making them Orky - seeing thats what Orks generally do. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] I have. Xenology is fluff abuse while Fifteen hours is another stereotype about how all guardsmen die like flies.[/QUOTE] The only thing in Xenology that I think people say is fluff abuse is that ethereals release pheromones that allow them to influence other Tau easily. I found the book quite interesting.

Ordo Malleus are Warrior Priests, Ordo Hereticus are Witch Hunters, what are Ordo Xenos?

I was considering starting the TT, What would be a good for a starter to get and what should i get first?

[QUOTE=Cam00;31956904]Ordo Malleus are Warrior Priests, Ordo Hereticus are Witch Hunters, what are Ordo Xenos?[/QUOTE] Deathwatch.

I think Battle for Black Reach is a good starter kit, or so the people in GW told me last time I was browsing in my local one.

[QUOTE=Antary;31957223]Deathwatch.[/QUOTE] Deathwatch are a Space Marine chapter, I'm thinking more of the fantasy characters. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Superkilll307;31957187]I was considering starting the TT, What would be a good for a starter to get and what should i get first?[/QUOTE] Orcs all the way. Great fun to paint and customize.

[QUOTE=Cam00;31957339]Deathwatch are a Space Marine chapter, I'm thinking more of the fantasy characters.[/QUOTE] They are not a space marine chapter. Well, uh, they are, but not like the others. [quote]The Deathwatch are a unique and specially trained Space Marine Chapter that dedicates its every hour to xenos hunting. They are the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, charged with protecting it in its search of information, containment, and ultimate destruction of all xeno species.

I have one of these unopened, I no longer collect and paint models, what should I do with it? [img]http://www.madfly-art.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/war_grumlok_gazbag.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Mr. N;31956730]The only thing in Xenology that I think people say is fluff abuse is that ethereals release pheromones that allow them to influence other Tau easily.

Trying to read the Space Marine official forums, just lost 50 IQ points due to bad grammar and retarded sentence structure. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] Make that 125. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] [quote]Doombreed is a mighty Daemon Prince of the Blood God Khorne, responsible for leading a Black Crusade against the Imperium. He is older and more powerful than even the mighty Daemon Primarchs.3 Doombreed was one of the first of Khorne's servants. Doombreed's true name has long been forgotten, but he was once human, a mighty warlord who led armies which ravaged entire nations on Earth long ago, responsible for genocide and murder on a grand scale. Such wanton carnage drew the eye of the god Khorne, still relatively young, who granted the warlord the ultimate reward of Daemonhood.[/quote] Is that you Adolf?

Who is Genghis Kahn

[QUOTE=Dejarie;31958104]Can we get some context on this? A link maybe?[/QUOTE] I believe the Chaos Codex says that Doombreed was one of the first daemon princes.

-snip- LOL THINGS GO IN LOL THREAD

Also thought Daemon Primarches where the most powerful Daemons except the Gods themselves. According to the Lex, the ancient Daemon Princes (Doombreed, N'Kari, Bubonicus and Tallomin, the latter being called "Prince of Daemon Princes", so he should be even more powerful than the former 3) are more powerful than the Daemon Primarches. So the ladder goes like this: - Gods - Greater Daemons - "Ancient" Daemon Princes - Daemon Primarches - Daemon Princes - Lesser Daemons Or maybe it's too individual-dependent to be organized in a ladder like that (also put the Greater Daemons higher than the Princes as Princes sometimes serve as right hands for GDaemons, though it doesn't necessarily mean much). [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dejarie;31958104]Can we get some context on this? A link maybe?[/QUOTE] On the SM forums or about Doombreed? Forums: [url]http://www.spacemarine.com/forums/topic/3245[/url] Not the only example (most others are just horrible ideas and horrid spelling), but a good one. Yes obviously Orks have less armour at the beginning due to hardware limitations. Generally shit posts all over the place. Doombreed:[url]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Doombreed[/url]

[QUOTE=Superkilll307;31957187]I was considering starting the TT, What would be a good for a starter to get and what should i get first?[/QUOTE] Assault on Black Reach is good for the money, plus you get two armies and a mini rulebook. The models aren't that customizable as other models you can buy, but again it's a starter set.

[QUOTE=nightlord;31958556]Wow, that has gone up £11.50 since i last saw it.[/QUOTE] There was a price increase awhile ago when they phased out metal models. GW is constantly increasing prices :/

Me and a friend came to the conclusion that: Gorgon's are sexy. Stormlords are badass. Elysian Sentinels are badass. A Monolith Doomsday Phalanx is nothing I would like to encounter in my life time.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;31958582]There was a price increase awhile ago when they phased out metal models. GW is constantly increasing prices :/[/QUOTE] so is there any way to acquire metal models officially anymore? bar ebay and the like

Question: Since Horus was able to almost kill the Emperor, is it accurate to say he was the most powerful Chaotic being in the history of history (excluding, of course, the dark gods themselves)?

[QUOTE=DTkach;31961645]Question: Since Horus was able to almost kill the Emperor, is it accurate to say he was the most powerful Chaotic being in the history of history (excluding, of course, the dark gods themselves)?[/QUOTE] According to this thing I read this one time, the Emperor was supposed to have been holding back for most of the battle out of love until this Adeptus Custodes dude walked in the room and Horus exploded him. I dunno if that's true, but if it's the case maybe Horus wasn't [i]that[/i] powerful

[QUOTE=Vasili;31955960]Heres hoping in some DLC they might add the Orks as a multiplayer faction. You could just play as a Nob or something slightly weaker. They do have the options of assault, heavy and and normal. No one is going to give a toss if you just give them the same power, so balancing in that field is easy enough, and just giving them the same weapons and making them Orky - seeing thats what Orks generally do. [editline]26th August 2011[/editline] I have.

"The Emperor held back for much of the battle, remembering Horus as his beloved son and not wishing to believe that he had turned so utterly to Chaos. This allowed Horus to inflict crippling mortal wounds on the Emperor, since nothing short of the Emperor's full power would be sufficient to defeat him. At the critical point in the battle, a lone Adeptus Custode guard entered the room. Horus flayed him alive with but a look and in that instant the Emperor realized how far his favored son had fallen. The sacrifice of the Custodian bought the Emperor time to deliver a finishing blow to Horus. " It also says at the end the Emperor hit Horus so hard he killed his soul and knocked all the chaos out of him.
