My facebook profile picture is now the looted golden throne. I never used a picture of me, so it is business as usual.

My bad.

[QUOTE=N-12_Aden;32437251]What eldritch abomination is that?

Looks like they took the barrel cover of the PPSH and welded it to a chopped down SVT.
IDK lol[/QUOTE]

PPSh barrel shroud dirty welded to a truncated SKS receiver fitted with the trigger group from what seems to be a chinashit ripoff AK.

The grip looks like a wood cane.

Cubeupload just went down and almost all of my images I've posted went down with it. So if you are reading through and are wondering why a bunch of blank spaces by me are rate a couple of funnies, the more you know.

Also, mfw I found out all this happened.

wow really

the chick was the worst character in the game

we need a well-written warhammer game with a star-studded cast and a much gritter tone

let's do that

She was better than fucking lord Emoquisitor flip hair.

The only real problem with the game's writing was that it suffered from a severe case of Spiritual Liege disorder.

yeah that guy

i forgot

what a fag

anyway, i love space marine but it doesn't capture the gritty, dark nature of the warhammer universe. the game [i]literally[/i] needs to be darker.
For example, I was expecting the cities to look like this:

Not like fucking willy wonka's chocolate factory.

I wanted to stand triumphant over a pile of dead [b]everything[/b] while a massive, oppressive, dystopian city burns behind me.

[img]http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_art/warhammer_40000:_dawn_of_war/bloody_battlefield_triumph.jpg[/img]

Yeah like this.

I'm also pretty disappointed that the fucking rapid-fire rocket launcher that is the bolter doesn't do jack shit to the walls and ground. We need some DMM or Red Faction-style destruction in the next game.
That's mainly why I bough space marine. So they could spend more money and effort on a huge sequel.

[QUOTE=Shoopiwoop;32429396]very interesting.[/QUOTE]

How does a dead body whisper?

Anyway, someone needs to do this, right now. At this rate, the [B]GRIMDARK[/B] Generators will overload, destroying everything!

[AmherstOren]

Its kinda hard to be GRIMDARK when you are fighting orks.

Their banter is just so entertaining.

[Candy Bee]

If balance was thrown out the window for the tabletop and power was dictated by fluff rather than for making sure everything is balanced... do you think any one race would be overpowered, and if so, who?

Lemme know if this is badly worded or what not.

A lot of people would say Space Marines (probably notably Ultramarines), but wouldn't the game's balance also lend itself to the "balance" in the fluff and kind of keep things relatively balanced still? Sure, maybe the scale of things would change, but couldn't it remain relatively balanced?

[AmherstOren]

Tyranids.

Field Swarmlord never lose ever.

Thanks for these 3 images, any source on them?

Btw you know what is the most grimdark part of that last scene?

Things is so grimdark that stone eagle head is crying oil

Necrons. Their Gauss rifles kill virtually anything even with a glancing blow, and I think it can penetrate tank armour. Also the fact they don't tend to die particularly easily, aren't influenced by morale and teleport away if they take too many losses.

Also their "souls" are immortal and get returned to the closest tomb if their husk is destroyed.
But what about chaos?

So yeah I'd say necrons too, or Chaos.

An open world game where you play as a Rogue Trader and can recruit an army and explore stuff would be awesome.

That puts me in mind of a Mount & Blade mod, there already one for Fantasy I think.

I dunno about you, while the scale of the city places wasn't that huge, but the giant concrete blocks with tiny windows and standard single-room living quarters and fully metal interiors we witnessed in the game look like a pretty shitty place to live.

It could have been done in the 90s.... :smith:

[Géza!]

Also, can someone remidn me which key skips cutscenes in Space Marine? Retrying the final fight is a real burden.

[Hoboharry]

[QUOTE=nightlord;32438826]An open world game where you play as a Rogue Trader and can recruit an army and explore stuff would be awesome.[/QUOTE]
As much as i think it would be awesome to play such a game, wouldn't the sales on the Rogue Trader book basically plummet if they made a game like that based on Rogue Trader?

[A Glitch]

Just tried doing the achievement for doing part 1 of Space Marine on hard in 1 sitting without dying, got to the drop ship and died from shots while in a struggle against a Nob....All my rage...

What do you mean?
Did Bill Gates play 40k tabletop or something?

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;32435426]I have to say, a power mace is probably one of the coolest weapons ever.[/QUOTE]
I've never heard of a power mace.
Are you maybe talking about a Crozius Arcanum?

Hope, actually cares for you, is friendly, doesn't fuck you over, has a pretty killer health plan (you don't die) I wouldn't surprised if dental was included.

I think it's a version of the arbite power maul. Though more or less any weapon can be a power weapon.

Take it this way - most alien incursions to which marines are dispatched are dealt with by one single tactical marine. If one was using real fluff marines in utramarines the only orks that hurt them would be nobs and even those with more luck than reason.

depends really, if you're talking about a "main character" like Calgar who is protected by M.agical Ward... then yeah fair enough, space marines do often die to various races a heck of a lot though, even if it does take 10:1 odds or greater

lolno the only time that really happened was in Brothers of the Snake, and that wasn't really an incursion.

Given that his followers basically unconditionally worship him and can't feel pain, I'd imagine dentistry is a bit more like pulling out any clean teeth with a pair of plyers than what we have.
