The necrons give the Blood angels the rosetta stone as a gift for their friendship. When the techmarines of the Blood angels observe it, they find that it contains the entire STC library and the first thing they build with it is a coffee machine. Starting a tradition where every chapter master shares a cup of java with the former one, the former cutting his palm and having the blood mix in with the coffee.
Knowing the blood angels, they also do not share this. Similar to what they did with the Baal predator.

[QUOTE=aliendrone123;32784767]On this note, I have a rather silly question. Before I ask it brace yourselves. IS Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k in the same universe, just different time periods? god I feel dumb for asking that.[/QUOTE]
They were, WHF took place on a planet somehow fucked around by the Old Ones, if I remember correctly, but then was made that they weren't in the same universe.
Turns out that the dreadnought is actually a repurposed DJ stand that was designed in M19 in an attempt to make the party, literally last forever, life support included and everything.
The only actually likable new Necron units are the Immortals and the Deathmarks. Everything else can stick the egyptian bullshit up the ass and go die in the Warp.
Thank you, M. Ward, for fucking up my favorite race.
I really think everybody who dislikes Matt Ward's writing should go to Games Workshop HQ and vote that GW finds a new job for Matt Ward in the GW industry, things will only get worse if he stays as a writer.
oh god, the new necron stuff looks awesome. i dont want them to look so awesome, because i will then be unable to finish my guard army.

They literally can't replace him. He's in such a high level position.
They need to slap him on the fingers every now and then.
He's changing fluff way too much, GW should really do something about it.
Let Dan Abnett and the other writers of Black Library work on it together with him, instead of only hold him responsible for the codexes and such.

As Fussy! said, they should replace him with a [i]good[/i] writer like Dan Abnett.
I've had enough of Matt Ward's shit writing.
Dan Abnett, James Swallow (Wrote Nemesis), Graham McNeill and Aaron Dembski-Bowden (Wrote First Heretic) should work on the Codexes.
I'm reading the Heroes section on the codex space marines and it's fucking hilarious.
The Salamander forgemaster is literally unstopable.
im no table top player(read lore) BUT what the fuck have they done to Necrons
Anyone remember these?

Grimdark super intelligent monkeys with digital weapons and can buff the equipment of any squad he's attached to.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;32744447]I know it's been a long time since this post, but yes, it will be harder depending on how you want to base them. If you're just gonna stick some static grass or w/e on the base yeah, it's as easy as brushing the base with glue and then dipping the model in the box of grass. If you're doing sand you have to paint it though, and thus you gotta awkwardly paint around the legs and feet. All mistakes can obviously be fixed, but it's better to paint the body and base separately and superglue them together when they're done.
Also hey new Tau player, glue the legs to the torso of your fire warriors first, paint those, then glue the helmet and paint that, then glue the arms (check the weapon posing, too!) and finally the weapon.
They can't eat matter that has been stripped to bare molecules or even atoms.
There's an issue of line of sight which matters a lot if using ruins or hilly terrain. You can't gauge it with a piece of paper.
Isn't Slaanesh about excess, not enjoyment?
Good god you're a massive Tyranid fanboy. There's no proof that they've devoured even one galaxy, or that there's some super-mega-massive hive fleets still on the way. They're extragalactic, that's all. For all we know they could already be starving because of the long, long journey between galaxies and are desperate to gain sustenance.
Wasn't the Baneblade the original main battle tank during the DAoT?
haha oh wow are you serious
In Fifteen Hours the Guard boot camp was a couple months long. While they do also train during the space travel, they don't really have any more experience than a modern marine, and most of that training goes to waste when they have massive casualties planetside. Very few survive to the end of their service, and no one ever returns to their home planet.
The equipment of a standard infantryman is very good, I agree, but overall the whole IG organization has shit for technology. Their tanks are crap, their weapons have laughable range, and the air power is practically useless.
Also devolved. They come from so many different worlds evolution is not really any advantange here.
"Throw guardsmen at it" is still a very common tactic, and will probably never be outphased due to the rigid unchanging behavior of the Imperium as a whole.
Do you know what suppressive fire is? Not every bullet is meant to kill.

If you actually read fifteen hours then you would notice that it actually supports most points put forward. While the regiment that came down on that planet did indeed suffer massive casualties that was only due to a clerical error as they were all penned for some backwater with a minor rebellion which would be easy to crush, would instill extra morale for the new recruits as well as give them a much needed stint of combat experience against a relatively minor opponent.
Instead the recruits get dropped into a brutal warzone, for which they have no intel and don't even land by friendly lines.
As to returning to home planets. Yes, the IG rarely return home and often a regiment will keep on fighting till the last man. That doesn't mean retirees don't exist. Usually a regiment can become a first colonist wave or they actually leave those that can no longer serve or have served for long enough on various planets they go trough.
In a sense this exists to actually protect the soldiers themselves. Keep in mind that the soldiers can sometimes spend centuries of realtime away, as the warp is fickle at best. Now imagine them returning to a planet where they can't remember anyone, with stuff changed.
To the throwing people at it until it breaks strategy. Sure some commanders do that. Others don't. That's the point of the imperium, it's so massive that you get all kinds of variations to doctrine, training people picked etc. All regiments have different traditions on retiring and other issues as well.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;32784802]Same universe, different time-period AFAIK.
Scratch that.[/QUOTE]
Used to be same universe same time period. In a few old rulebooks you could get stuff like a lascannon mutation if you were a chosen in whfb. But the planet was locked away by warpstorms that were emmited from the massive slann gates. Was even rumoured that Sigmar was one of the lost primarchs.
That though got retconned and both are now separate settings with no ties together, apart from some old leftover fluff. Like one of Khaine's aspects being the silver serpent that devours stars and others.
HE HAS A FUCKING HAMSTER! RUN EVER ONE! ESCAPE AS FAST AS YOU CAN! EXTERMINATUS THE PLANET !

God DAMN IT Matt, you don't RETCON shit like this when making a new Codex! You Build upon existing canon, not erase it and replace it with your own terrible fanfiction!
