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

[QUOTE=Gunner th;32803091][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_JELLcn2GA[/media] There it is. It's also the Chaos theme of DoW 2.[/QUOTE] Chaos Gate had some pretty nifty Warhammer music as well: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06TwseiYiFQ&feature=related[/media] And [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVMV183yAOc&feature=related[/media] Are some of the first that come to mind from that game.

I'm hoping to get Retribution by tomorrow, assuming I can get the money. [QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;32787929]Oh man these new Necron models.

It's a big U, isn't it? And it looks like a rowboat. Guess who was the primarch of the Ultramarines? That's right, it gets worse. The C'Tan are back, more terrifying than ever. And now, for the first time, GW is proud to unveil their leader. A monstrous, spectral entity known only in whispered tones as [b]RH'OBUT GH'UL'IH'MAN[/b] ...the stars themselves tremble at His passing.[/QUOTE] Oh god, I can't breath!

I prefer Final Liberation OST, myself. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnJ4DyIU-E0&feature=player_detailpage[/media] However, I noticed that majority of the music was removed because a certain account got banned. This is a great loss to the Imperium.

What exactly was the Age of Strife supposed to be like? A post-apocalyptic "roaming bands of raiders" style situation (think Rage I guess) or more like a grimdark version of modern politics?

Some planets, even systems, made it through virtually unchanged, some turned into Space Mad Max. I think that's what happened. I'm not all brushed up on my lore.

[thumb]http://i.imgur.com/obPJg.gif[/thumb] But in all seriousness I like the new splintered faction thing going on with the Necrons, makes it easier to come up with a backstory for my army.

I need 2 people to play some Last stand with, anyone interested?

[QUOTE=Kevinsevenalt;32802902]Well in this case the mailman smashed up your mailbox while you were building it. But yeah, the Emperor isn't really evil...just...uhhh. Angry?[/QUOTE] What? The emperor is biggest asshole in the universe. Half of the renegade chapters fell to chaos because of the emperor. Nighlords definitely, world eaters felt the emperor did them a disservice from the very beginning, thousands sons got bitchslapped by him as well. And you can go on. The emperor was an omnicidal, egoistical, narcisstic maniac with a severe case of a god complex (though the last part is somewhat justified by him essentially being a god and all) who wished for his path to dominate. Also again - chaos is not EVIL. That's the point of chaos, they're not evil. They are excessive. Hell some gods are doing it not for the power but because they think they are helping.

Followed by massive warpstorms. Due to destroying so much technology, mot planets ceased to be self sufficient and the emergence of warp storms ensured that they couldn't even trade between each other for things they needed. Que destruction of civilisation and what not.

At least they can hold back the xenos and heretics with him around. But without the high governing body the emperor is in, humans would be fighting each other as well, not just heretics.

[QUOTE=Pennywise;32807624]Are you asserting that the various Imperium subsections, factions, and political parties don't undermine, dupe, and backstab each other on a regular basis?[/QUOTE] Reading up on fluff, you can see that noble houses will fight each other for land, among other things. But I'm talking about entire sectors become their own "nation". It would be no better off then today. The one thing the emperor brought was unification, no matter how loose it is.

so yea i have retribution now, anybody want to play campaign with me?

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;32808135]so yea i have retribution now, anybody want to play campaign with me?[/QUOTE] Sure.

BUT THIS WAS SO FUN AND FUNNY

[QUOTE=wraithcat;32786223]Didn't they already retcon the C'tan out though? into them being loony super powerful necron lords who forgot who they actually were?[/QUOTE] No, they simply removed the ability to manifest them on the battlefield. [editline]16th October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=GÃ©za!;32792545]That indeed puts things in the new perspective. Remember guys, stuff changed so much, there is no such thing as "true fluff" or "the way x is meant to be".[/QUOTE] Because it was becoming more streamlined and sophisticated to match the growing fanbase. The same reason you can never go back with golden age hero stories. They just look ridiculous to anyone but a child. The reuse doesn't doesn't absolve Ward of anything; in fact, pretty much the opposite. Not only are his retcons shitty, they aren't even original. He's a hack, period. [quote]Also again - chaos is not EVIL[/quote] Yes it is. There are facets which represent every possibility, but the main four gods are absolute unbridled sociopathy at best and craven willful malice at worst. Not all of CHAOS is evil, but the four gods are literally evil incarnate, and their own followers would be the first to point it out.

In my opinion it would rape the fluff less if there were 2 "factions" of necrons, the normal bringers of death and c'tan's bitches and a faction who just kills for their own and giving the c'tan the finger. (kinda like the geth in Mass Effect but both killing everyone anyway).

didn't some kind of standalone 40k last stand game come out some time ago? i recall some kind of standalone game where it was only last stand.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;32808959]didn't some kind of standalone 40k last stand game come out some time ago? i recall some kind of standalone game where it was only last stand.[/QUOTE] The Last Standalone. All it is is TLS for less than retribution's actual cost. Not really worth it.

can you even play with people playing on retribution?

[QUOTE=cyclocius;32802536]Yep, Renegade Chapters. Soul Drinkers are (but they're mostly mutants. But they're not chaos Marines. No Sirree.) Astral Claws are as well I think. And the Alpha Legion. Cough.[/QUOTE] If the Alpha Legion even existed we all know they're trolling Chaos to save the Imperium.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;32809027]can you even play with people playing on retribution?[/QUOTE] Yes that's kind of the point of it I guess?

I Just realized something: -Main Games Workshop (where all the magic happens) is in Nottingham. -Matt Ward is in Nottingham. -I AM IN NOTTINGHAM. Therefore my duty is to assassinate the guy. Or just beat him senseless. You choose which. [sp]EXTRA CHOICE: Choose which Assassin style I should Emulate[/sp]

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only Matt Ward.

It can't be that hard to melt his brain since it's apparently made of jello-pops.

I still haven't made my army after about 4-5 years, mostly due to the fact i have no one to play with despite the closest store to me is the GW HQ.

[sp]i don't really know where i was going with that [/sp]

Just tried last stand in retribution. Some guy didn't know what he was doing at all. Maybe it was a bad idea to buy the THQ pack on a free weekend. Another guy had such a bad connection the game was going in slow motion. :v:

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! is the only way.
