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

[QUOTE=LordLoss;32574484]You mean you lost your old one, trooper? *click* [B]*BLAM!*[/B][/QUOTE] I never understood how a Laspistol could have this "cocking" sound.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;32574232]Hm, well, that's for another model then. Wouldn't it cause the same problems though, painting black on the white basecoat?[/QUOTE] As long as you're careful, no. Get a solid coat of black on where you want the green to go, and then go over it in green.

[QUOTE=nightlord;32574165]That's only if the Imperium finds out or something like an Entire Chapter defects.[/QUOTE] An entire chapter? If the Tau get even 10 Space Marines to join their cause, it would still gain the attention of the Imperium, because it might make the Tau significantly stronger, mainly because they could study power armor or bolters and because Space Marines are tough soldiers, as opposed to their weak Fire Warriors.

[QUOTE=Scar;32574546]I never understood how a Laspistol could have this "cocking" sound.[/QUOTE] Bolt pistol.

[QUOTE=LordLoss;32574639]Bolt pistol.[/QUOTE] Oh That makes sense

So, I'm looking as this image: [img]http://1d4chan.org/images/e/e2/Imperialfist78.jpg[/img] Is that a fucking [I]Necron!?[/I] What would happen if someone just grabbed a "dead" Necron and ran with it?

It would phase out anyway

It's probably just a black skull. Also, those veterans at the front look fucking awesome, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32575253]It's probably just a black skull.[/QUOTE] Oh. Still though, it'd be an awesome trophy to have if you just put it in a glass box and laughed at it all day.

After searching for quite a while, I have determined that Mark of Chaos and expansion are unobtainable.

[QUOTE=acds;32575428]After searching for quite a while, I have determined that Mark of Chaos and expansion are unobtainable.[/QUOTE] That game had superb trailer, but the game itself was crashy and not so good as I thought.

[QUOTE=Cone;32574454]I haven't myself, but I heard of a rather interesting creature featured in it; sort of a black sphere that summons the shadows around people into horrible monsters. What were those called again?[/QUOTE] Umbra. [url]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Umbra[/url]

Though 36£ plus shipping to Sweden, it's going to have to wait a while, too many other games coming out this month.

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32571645][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BTiBmS_Tl4[/media] Am i the only one who thinks that this theme fits Chaos really well?[/QUOTE] DoW2's music is the best put to warhammer, ever.

[QUOTE=27X;32576867]DoW2's music is the best put to warhammer, ever.[/QUOTE] I agree. The music put to DoW1 was just so bland and repetitive, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=LordLoss;32574410]Not really, the Tau have almost no free will. You're born into a caste, you'll die in it. In Tau society, theres no such thing as disobedience, everyone does exactly what they're told, without question. That would be shit to live in.[/QUOTE] That's simply because each class evolved to fit that specific purpose. E.g Air caste used to have wings so they were always the messengers and things like that.

[QUOTE=Garrot;32576808]Umbra. [url]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Umbra[/url][/QUOTE] That's scary. It's like every kid's nightmare, and the psychic screech it does upon death showing flashbacks and stuff ending with some voice saying a single word ''Linger'' sounds kind of creepy too.

In Tau society, theres no such thing as disobedience, everyone does exactly what they're told, without question. That would be shit to live in.[/QUOTE] I gotta be honest though, how is that much different from being born in the Imperium? Say you're born on Cadia. As a child, sure I guess you have the free will to mug kids for lunch money, or aspire to go to school but other than that you're basically GOING TO BE drafted into the Imperial Guard the moment you are ready. Than you either die, or baring that you go back to whatever shit-world you came from and live a miserable existence either being retired or working until you decide to die or if possible to retire if you still have the ability In the Tau Empire, yeah it's all castes. But within the castes you have some degree of freedom. You're stuck with your occupation, but at least with the exception of the Fire Caste these are relatively 'good' jobs where you don't run the risk of being crushed or dying constantly. You live in a decent home the Tau give you or you build yourself. You're able to pick your own mate. (Well, you can't get it on most of the year but it's for the Greater Good) and you live the rest of your days out. With the slim exception that you do very well at being a Guardsman, or perhaps in your particular job you can advance and lead something. But that's not any different from being Tau. You didn't get to pick your job but there IS room for advancement. Disobedience in the Tau Empire isn't very common, no. But it's pretty shit to live in the Imperium in this respect. Disobey an order? HERESY AND EXECUTION. Worship a different god? HERESY AND EXECUTION. Look at a Commissar the wrong way? EXTRA HERETICAL.

[/QUOTE] Actually even as a child they would be trained how to fight really, so pretty much their whole life.

I also have to agree that the Tau right now aren't terrible strong. I think the Imperium could wipe them out it they really wanted too but that would only be the case if they didn't have WAAAGH's and Necrons and Chaos and all the other bullshit they constantly have to commit huge portions of their military to fight. Otherwise the Tau are capable of their own defense and minor expansion. They don't believe in the idea of committing huge numbers of troops to die in a conflict anyway Most of their expansion is done through Trade and Political Manipulation [editline]1st October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=nightlord;32577366]Actually even as a child they would be trained how to fight really, so pretty much their whole life.[/QUOTE] Proves my point than. Also, although pretty irrelevant I prefer Tau architecture over Imperium. The Imperium uses Gothic styles, everything is sharp and gloomy, dark and grim. Tau like round buildings, they build outwards instead of upwards and they have plenty of gardens and bright colors. The environment alone may be enough for me to defect from the Imperium of Man. [i]And that's heresy.[/i]

Simply put, the Imperium has more urgent and pressing matters at the moment than putting down the tau for good.

We need the Emperor back. What would the Emperor do if he was here today? I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two, that's what the Emperor would do. I'm pretty confident that as soon as the Emperor was back in the picture the Xenos would respect humanity again, Tau would back off and probably be an active trading partner. The Emperor even made the Orkz shut their whore mouths.
