Warhammer: Steam sale edition
aka
Give us all your money 10 fold
Why would they need to make a separate game just for a certain time period. Just get Forge World to make more stylized models.
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;33457863]I always thought that since Warhammer 40k Troop designs (Especially the Imperial Guard) tend to draw largely from the World War eras (1900-1945), that Games Workshop should make some kind of Steampunk tabletop wargame.
Maybe they could call it Warhammer 1900? I don't know, I just thought it was a good idea.[/QUOTE]

They're called the Vostroyans.

You don't think I didn't know?
The point is, the Vostroyans still live in a world with space-travel, inter-galactic wars, and mutants. I want a Warhammer where very faction is styled more like the Vostroyans. One that depicts the World Wars as seen in the Warhammer universe. It could have different rules and weapons.
It just seems out of place having the WWI-ish Vostroyans fighting goddamn Necrons and shit. It still feels, futuristic.

WH40k has Imperial planets that use WW1 era technology.
[QUOTE=thisguy123;33453607]AFIK everything outside Codex is Non-canon unless explicitly stated otherwise.
That being said, the 40K universe is so big you could have a massive multi planet crusade (Guants Ghosts) and neatly tuck it under the rug cos nobody else in the Imperium would ever hear about it.[/QUOTE]
That doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't it be the other way around - Canon unless stated otherwise? If all the books are non-canon, then W40K is alot less interesting then i thought considering that's where alot of the things come from.
Like you said, the W40K universe is so big it shouldn't matter if they are canon. It's not like it is having an actual effect on anything. Where have GW said they are non-canon?
[QUOTE=gufu;33458619]WH40k has Imperial planets that use WW1 era technology.[/QUOTE]
And tactics.
Until someone cites an actual source on this canon stuff this whole conversation is horseshit

Think about it this way. Books are from a unreliable source biased from the point of view of the character/narrator.
It's almost impossible to decide on a straight cannon lore when books contradict each other so often.
Like the whole things about navigator third eyes for example.

Yes, but that shouldn't make them non-canon.
That's basically what i said earlier - They are canon in the sense the events probably happened or existed, but non-canon in the sense that they might not have actually been like that. Specifics i can understand being non-canon such as with weapons.
If all books are non-canon in the sense that they didn't happen at all, then a large amount of what makes W40K awesome is thrown out the window.
Prehaps i've just misunderstood what the definition of canon is.
Think about it this way,
Why would GW release a huge amount of non-canon material, isn't that plain silly?
And a simpler way to explain as to why some books contradict each other would be to assume that the narrator is a character in the book and is biased to his side and perceives differently what others see (For example A Thousand Sons vs Prospero Burns)

Does it really really matter if they are or not? I mean one book isn't going to change the whole Warhammer 40,000 story. Warhammer 40,000 is more a universe then just one story. You can make anything up and it want affect it, your in space for god sakes! (Provided you created your own characters)
And I believe some novels are canon (Horus Heresy, Gaunt 's Ghosts) and some aren't (Dawn of War, Fire Warrior)

I merely wanted to know if they are, as it does have an effect and a large amount of things wouldn't exist. It does matter.
I'd say the novels based on games are more canon then the games themselves (E.g Dawn of war and Firewarrior)

Then, try Warmachine.

I know, but they're fighting against other planets and races that don't.
Fuck it. Maybe I could set up a scenario of sorts myself, though I've never played Warhammer 40k on the table before.

Nevermind, thanks for pointing out Warmachine. it looks pretty cool. Could give it a whirl.

As far as I know, the WH40k timeline is exactly the same as the real life until quite a bit in the future.
So WWI in WH40k would be exactly the same as our WWI.

No, you haven't; people just choose to pick and choose because they don't like it. GW has already flatly in public, on net and on camera stated that EVERY product with the logo is absolute canon, period. Fanboys don't like that because they'd rather subjectively make canon by pick and choose, which is fine for personal view, but GW doesn't really care about any of that.

There are so many worlds in the Imperium and the galaxy that theres pretty much any culture, there are planets in Eisenhorn which are medieval period with their Jesus being the Emperor.

GW doesn't release the majority of cannon. BL, FFG, Relic etc aren't GW now are they?

Have you got a source for them saying it is canon though? I've read alot of people say BL is mostly non-canon. It most likely is how you say but seeing some proof of GW saying it is canon would be nice.

Something that gives you even less plastic for more dollars, it's the epitome of terrible pricing. Though, I am not familiar with gameplay.

He meant WW1-era technology-wise, not time-wise.
The only game i've ever played related to warhammer was dawn of war 2
other than that, i've never seen anything else from warhammer and visiting this thread is absolutely confusing, hilarious and awesome.
I'm fascinated.
